Music for Pieces of 909\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFeaturing the music score from Shelley Parker's performative collaboration with Fernanda Muñoz-Newsome and Peder Mannerfelt's brazen version of an iconic piece of American minimalism, the fourth instalment for the Decouple ][ Series aligns around the desire to create music from the simplest set of sounds, and to make the most of joy and fun from basic elements.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eShelley Parker opens with LET THE BODY, a collaboration with choreographer and dance artist Fernanda Muñoz-Newsome. The work considers what emerges through disorientation and reorientation around pleasure and permission in the body, positioning dance as a form of political expression. Entirely composed from recorded sounds of the dancer's bodies moving in space, the three tracks represent an excerpt of the longer performance originally commissioned by Arnolfini Bristol 2016 and recently programmed and performed at I.C.A. London 2020.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOn the flip side Peder Mannerfelt throws an unsettling adaptation for Roland TR-909 of the well- known classic 'Music for Pieces of Wood'. Far from being any sort of academic gesture this recording comes from a rather profound Steve Reich phase (pun intended) of the Swedish producer in which a score, found by chance, of this iconic piece was deciphered thru a DAW and transformed into sound by an equally iconic drum machine. The process of mechanization—a founding concept of the original composition—finds in MUSIC FOR PIECES OF 909 a new [magic] dimension, unironic and full of meanings at the same time, confirming Mannerfelt's acute take on experimentation and Reich's genius in a singular movement.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e►Limited Edition of 300, includes free download code.

Whether it's algoritmic destruction (LOCUS, TWELVES), synthesis techniques (ASSUMPTION, WALL OF FULL-STACKS) or awkward electro rhythms and future-dark-ambient-dub-ish sounds (INVARIANT, OFFSHOOT, SOLVED PROBLES XII) Gunn manages to glue his big-data-archive via a 'sympathetic filter'. He works on common elements and physical properties of sounds, coagulating and enhancing unnatural timbres, weird architectures and different genres into an enthusing organic whole by playing with sound processing, effects, and his signature coding steroids—techno-angel's share for the 'big picture'\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"OOH-sounds","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36507975516316,"sku":"OOH022","price":7.2,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0130\/8714\/6043\/products\/CalumGunn-ParadoxofChoice.jpg?v=1602872199"},{"product_id":"holy-similaun-ansatz","title":"Holy Similaun - Ansatz","description":"\u003cp\u003eFormat: Cassette\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCatalogue No.: OOH-023\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBarcode: 5050580753341\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRelease Date: 29th January 2021\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eGenre: Electronica\/Dance (Dance)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e01: Ers\u003cbr\u003e02: Hatom\u003cbr\u003e03: Fluctus\u003cbr\u003e04: Confluxo\u003cbr\u003e05: Reclusium\u003cbr\u003e06: Rasterizer Thread\u003cbr\u003e07: Eredoc\u003cbr\u003e08: Xiphos\u003cbr\u003e09: Vaixa\u003cbr\u003e10: Absicht\u003cbr\u003e11: Oculus Videre\u003cbr\u003e12: Etcees\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFollowing the 'Aphex-blessed' En-To-Pan and the more recent ep Hegenrax [OOH-014] Holy Similaun goes further in its intimate and personal musical discourse with Ansatz [attempt \/ approach] a debut LP and a limited edition lathe cut that seek to investigate uncertainty and the mutation of our \"safe spaces\".\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eExtremely dilated fades, intermitted structures, massively warped voices, blasting industrial distortions and gaming sound effects populate the synthetic environments of a not-necessarily dystopian post-something, multifaceted and porous.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe feel is that of a soundtrack for a present future, inspired to the narrative naivety of anime.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHoly Similaun seems to frame its attention on the matter between and around standard musical objects—rhythm, melody to name two— overturning normal hierarchies and apparently reorienting the listeners towards the scenery rather than the 'action'.

Perhaps we would produce material that not only confronts the prospect of failure but actively accommodates it, as a viable aesthetic framework.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eScott Young's work is an attempt to unlearn certain 'normalized' approaches to sound, representing a jolt to the system, a wild construction of invention and misdirection, one that reconnects us with the value of disarrangement. The non-hierarchical layering of sound and image on 'Post Peace' defies linearity and rationality. On the collaborative composition 'Tuck', written with Manchester based artist Joe Beedles, the two create music in reverse, inspired by a fictitious review written about the self-same piece. This sense of freeform originality is mirrored by the intimate portraits that Italo-Australian visual artist Rebecca Salvadori has produced for the artwork. A series of autonomous forms that transcend straightforward classification.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUnerringly raw yet mature, Young's music evolves as an organic cycle, encompassing spry, cerebral, dub-inflected dynamics.

It's a lush endeavor spanning six pieces that brings together orchestral, electronic, vocal, and textural elements to melodically-rich, tonally-precise results, meditating on the perhaps not so wide gap between everyday life and fantasy. She notes \"During the time of creation, I began to develop deep, unrequited feelings for someone close to me, and my dreams began to consist of doing quotidian things with this person, but in environments that were geographically or architecturally impossible. The Texas Hill Country would open up to a neon-lit New York City that we'd walk arm and arm through. We'd go shopping at malls containing caverns and rivers next to Hot Topics and Macys.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn some ways, oneiric is one long love song. The album begins with \"a romance\" and household sounds - a running sink, whooshing air in the background, some kind of snipping - before piano, strings, and electronics float in. The composition swells until it's a patient, synth-driven waltz, soaring to dizzying heights with maurice's autotuned vocals cresting atop a noise section. Within that static, it's easy to hear her vocals buzzing with new love and dream.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThroughout the album, maurice uses field recordings, panning, and ASMR tactics to brandish her personal universe - one that rides a line of possibility familiar to plunderers of the dream world. Field recordings of stoned walks through her neighborhood make way for teeming, digital instrumentation and vice versa. Others come along for the voyage such as emo ambient cohort Claire Rousay on the album's most subdued composition \"heartbreaker\" and the devastating Philadelphia-based musician Lucy Liyou providing rich, evocative vocals on \"uninvited.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eoneiric is fantasy without the irony - it's a portrait of an artist excavating her own desires while navigating the ontologically real. It's an exhibition of the liminal space between the diurnal and the fanciful, one that manages to summon that feeling universally even though it's the result of a personal inspection. Across these six songs, maurice makes a claim on basking in the farfetched, even if it's a Sisyphean myth - but if you're gonna roll a rock up and down a hill for eternity, let it be a pretty one.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"OOH-sounds","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41560753406108,"sku":"OOH031K","price":11.52,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0130\/8714\/6043\/products\/2_620ccc5e-e9c9-4bd5-afa8-92a8d643412f.jpg?v=1649147090"},{"product_id":"glass-cry-remixed","title":"Glass - crY (Remixed)","description":"\u003cp\u003eFormat: CD\u003cbr\u003eCatalogue No.: OOH021XCD\u003cbr\u003eBarcode: 5050580784529\u003cbr\u003eRelease Date: 20 May 2022\u003cbr\u003eGenre: Dance\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e01: crY (Emma DJ Remix) - Glass\u003cbr\u003e02: crY (Katatonic Silentio Remix) - Glass\u003cbr\u003e03: crY (Klahrk Remix) - Glass\u003cbr\u003e04: crY (Live) - Glass\u003cbr\u003e05: my broken nails - Glass\u003cbr\u003e06: crY - Glass\u003cbr\u003e07: Foreign body (D Version) - Glass\u003cbr\u003e08: Fragmented Memories - Glass\u003cbr\u003e09: Appointment Scheduling System - Glass\u003cbr\u003e10: multi-functional prosthetic hand (L Version) - Glass\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEnhanced by remixes from artists such as Emma Dj, Katatonic Silentio and Klahrk, French duo Glass relaunch their debut album 'crY' now for the first time in a physical format.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDissecting the experience of multimedia content, their 2020 release was built around an intense amount of sounds constantly torn between frustration, excitement, epileptic stimulation and emotional exhaustion.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eA contemporary sound signature, a dense collage of layered and detailed production.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOn the occasion of this physical reissue, Glass asked Finnish\/Parisian producer Emma DJ, Italian sound artist Katatonic Silentio, and WARE Collective founder Klahrk, to unapologetically dissect the heavy processed material of the original album.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe results are difficult to nail to a specific genre, though they certainly flirt with Glass' ethos of surgical fragmentation of modern alienation and entertainment.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAlso included is a live rendition of 'crY' by Glass themselves. bringing us up to date on the state of the art of the up-and-coming duo.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"OOH-sounds","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41634472558748,"sku":"OOH021XCD","price":10.8,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0130\/8714\/6043\/products\/1_1d59bd2b-9c46-4e16-a16a-38c6cb3ba1f5.png?v=1652259788"},{"product_id":"weƚ-ker-enhancer-cassette","title":"WEȽ∝KER - ENHANCER [Cassette]","description":"\u003cp\u003eFormat: Cassette\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCatalogue No.: OOH032K\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBarcode: 5050580794511\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRelease Date: 25 Nov 2022\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eGenre: Dance\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e01: GATOR - WEȽ∝KER\u003cbr\u003e02: Olie - WEȽ∝KER\u003cbr\u003e03: mcks_eeks - WEȽ∝KER\u003cbr\u003e04: Ohmbase - WEȽ∝KER\u003cbr\u003e05: VLAFh - WEȽ∝KER\u003cbr\u003e06: Spincycle - WEȽ∝KER\u003cbr\u003e07: nunnfir - WEȽ∝KER\u003cbr\u003e08: biggestFAN - WEȽ∝KER\u003cbr\u003e09: J-pump - WEȽ∝KER\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWelcome in!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWEȽ∝KER's 'ENHANCER' offers a high dive into the soggy hands and lands of Dujat \u0026amp; Beedles.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHaving planted their flag firmly at the forefront of modern computer music, WEȽ∝KER return with 'ENHANCER', an astonishingly dynamic display of technique and form.

Within self-help media discourses, these issues orbit around a reinforcement of the neoliberal status quo that positions stress as self-imposed. In Spiritual™ the role and employment of sound in mental health media are investigated and scrutinised. Careful spatialisation, superimposition and layering help to produce an immersive, hyperreal listening experience that highlights and satirises problematic facets of mindfulness media.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRecordings of various sound matter possessing the extrinsic sign value of modern mindfulness and relaxation; resonating bowls, bells, breaths, nature, birdsong and rain are transformed into visceral sound objects that contain the essence of their original form yet weave in and out of the reality-abstract continuum. With this, the work plays with notions of the familiar and unfamiliar. Disembodied voices lead the listener through a hypnotic maze of hyperreal sonics. Intricate, tactile sound material that echoes the modern phenomenon of ASMR merges with trance-inducing drones. Environmental field recordings combined with synthesised simulacra conjure the sensation of being situated in a liminal space. Sound is used as an abstract intrinsic force, that carries the listener out of a stable sense of reality, as well as a semiotic device that combats this drift from reality and brings the listener firmly back into the monotony of 'real' life. A grapple between grounding realism and escapism is present.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe narration navigates the listener through this struggle, the voice mirrors the post-modern sentiment of the disobeying, sentient machine. Firstly it appears familiar and human but gradually it decays and suggests an increasingly questionable rationale. The voice distorts and reveals itself to be nothing more than another instance of technology designed to control and subjugate critical thought. It is important to make clear that this work does not aim its critique at mindfulness or meditation in and of itself but towards the corporate institutions that attempt to commodify such practices, whilst stripping them of their cultural and geopolitical contexts. Sonic aspects of these practices have been hijacked, used fetishistically as distractions from the contexts of malaise and as lures towards the sustaining of a pacified, individually conscious self. This piece aims to reclaim the power of sound, not for control or manipulation but as a vehicle for eliciting critical thought, as a means of engendering communal, shared experience and, importantly, as a conveyor of parody and humour.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"OOH-sounds","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42471207633052,"sku":"OOH034K","price":12.6,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0130\/8714\/6043\/files\/2_2ad702d3-7aad-4495-8c29-c76a52e6c2dd.jpg?v=1682437129"},{"product_id":"more-eaze-pardo-glass-paris-paris-texas-texas","title":"more eaze, pardo \u0026 glass - paris paris, texas texas","description":"\u003cp\u003eFormat: LP\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eCatalogue No.: OOH038B\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBarcode: 5050580821309 \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRelease Date: 29 Mar 2024\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eGenre: Ambient\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e01: still part of the ceiling - more eaze, pardo \u0026amp; glass\u003cbr\u003e02: le grand souffle céleste - more eaze, pardo \u0026amp; glass\u003cbr\u003e03: weather underground - more eaze, pardo \u0026amp; glass\u003cbr\u003e04: larger blossom-pleasure - more eaze, pardo \u0026amp; glass\u003cbr\u003e05: I dabbled at the keys of a Hammersmith organ (and I liked it) - more eaze, pardo \u0026amp; glass\u003cbr\u003e06: orris butter - more eaze, pardo \u0026amp; glass\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e► OOH-sounds family members more eaze, pardo \u0026amp; glass join forces on a celestial album linking ambient neo-folk, fractured electronics and romantic escapism.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReferencing to Wim Wenders' 1984 road-movie drama masterpiece, 'paris paris, texas texas' is a strikingly cinematic tapestry of americana, resampled guitars, glistening electronics, subtle field recordings and processed vocals.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe beginnings of this project date back to the summer of 2022 when pardo and glass started recording some improvisations in a small studio with the aim of making an experimental guitar record.
