Wet Lands Dry Me
K.W. Cahill records and plays electric guitars, lap steel, melodica and karimbas on May to June 2025 time. Mastered by Andrew Weathers. We're all sitting here and no one's listening. We're just talking over each other while the world spins out of control. Who are you gonna believe if the walls were gone? If everything turned up empty fields? Us just standing around looking at each other and nothing blocking us or protecting us from each other or from ourselves. I'm at war with myself first. Let …
Beingness
''Beingness is the source of inspiration which moves silence towards its manifestations as form in sound. Each gesture animates in the infinite space between thought and non-thought awareness. The fluidity of spontaneous sonic projections reflect the esssential being of nature, which is change'' - Adam Rudolph ''A voyage from the Corner to the Cosmos. As the tracks titles reveal, there's a connection to the authentic spiritual search and devotional imperative in jazz that goes all the way back t…

Hyperboréen
With Hyperboréen, we set sail for a dreamy, fantastical North, where the cold and the distant call for contemplation. Six other musicians accompany us on this journey. This strong atmosphere of mental and literary images resonated with the recording - isolated in the heart of the Puisaye countryside - of the six tracks on the album. The sounds of the instruments are deconstructed and reassembled in a process akin to electroacoustic editing, while they are joined by sounds from elsewhere, produce…

Released on lugar Alto, this singular work transforms what began as a gesture of contact into something far more enigmatic: a deconstructed hip-hop meditation that feels equal parts cosmic and street-level.

I’m going to have to ask you to
*Dubbed on new ferro tapes* One long composition for each side. Reminding me of an ultra-stretched version of the beautiful interplays on talktalk’s spirit of eden. Brittle percussive repetitions and muted trumpets slowly maneuvering into lovely tensions.
Compiled loops & experiments
*Dubbed on new ferro tapes* Tape loops, wind-up gramophone manipulations, and other audio fascinations. All of these sounds share the fact that they didn’t fit into any other release. Collected throughout 2024 and 2025, they were set aside on my harddrive. This is a documentation of scrap material, assembled in rough form.

Dimension Scrolling
"For his first Mondoj release, Finnish musician Olli Aarni journeys to the wide oblique, where shapes are implied by slants of light previously thought impossible, coming from sources dispersed and hidden. The paranoid eye turns them into phantasms: distant pop songs, fields of fair folk spinning vocoded fudge, an exquisite tasting menu, the shiny towers of an inflatable castle protruding from underground. Scientific inquiry reveals spoken word, diatonic harmony, wide stereo fields, spectral she…
