Hot on the heels of Comme<\/b><\/em> arrives a new collection of work, Days<\/b><\/em>, published by the boutique Brooklyn label The Land Of<\/a>. Thanks to Justin and Kim for their work on and support of this collection. <\/p>\n

Days<\/em> collects five studio pieces drawn from acoustic recordings of piano and voice, treated, amplified, and arranged. The arrangements are simple: long passages of sound material lay next to each other, their closeness and distance outlining a structure.
<\/p>\n

The impressions of sound, and upon sound, color through the window influencing the acoustics. Transparency and a sense of architecture. Materials, once unique, begin to reflect each other, and that can be enough.<\/p>\n

Anne recorded herself singing a old folk song in both Swedish and English. She took the recordings and mixed them together in software. She liked the result and suggested that I work with these recordings. The piano recordings are of my own improvisations. On “exposures,” I’ve done some singing as well.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

some words from Anne:<\/p>\n

i think of these words
\npost-punk
\narchitecture
\nwhat you hear at 5 am after you stayed up all night deep in some project and yr not
\nreally sure yr awake
\nbut yr just reentering reality
\nand sort of surprised it has been there all night<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

lastly, a quote:<\/p>\n

“no one writes or paints alone. but we have to make the pretense of so doing.”
\nbourriaud, relational aesthetics<\/em>, p.81<\/p><\/blockquote>\n


<\/p>\n

Days<\/b><\/em> is issued in a limited edition of 100 lovely discs (and 320k digital download), available from The Land Of<\/a> website. Justin Hardison, who curates The Land Of, has included a track from Days<\/em> in this lovely mix:<\/p>\n
