Olùsìn [Worshippers]
Nigerian ambient producer Ibukun Sunday returns with new full length Olúsín [Worshippers], combining West African rhythmic sensibility with deep ambient sonics for a study of faith and reverence that explores the inherent stillness in worship. The record, writes Sunday, “draws inspiration from African devotional traditions, blending percussion, vocal harmony, and ambient soundscapes to create ‘a soundtrack of praise,’ centering on the idea that faith has its own music: the drumbeat of hearts, th…
Bing Industries
"Impassable moments lingering in the present,” utters Beth Robertson, the soft spoken voice cresting over a jostle of harmonics, creaks and knocks. “Existing just after us but before her. Everything lingers.” It’s inevitable that a record inspired by gigantic mounds of waste should be rich in the residue of the past, yet it’s striking to hear these atmospheres crackle with future-facing anticipation. Out of the sounds salvaged and recycled from previous performances at Tokoro Studio, we hear all…
Tres Kilómetros
"In many senses, this is a music of distances. We’re listening to the 6000km that resides between the players’ respective locations in Ithaca, USA and Wiesbaden, Germany. We’re listening to field recordings of two separate walks – one in each of these locations, each walk precisely 3km in length – which adopts the role of a “score” within this collaboration. We’re listening to distinct slithers of time, as guitars and electronics are later overlain upon the field recordings, gracing these locati…

Trio
