John WALL – Alex RODGERS
“Soar”
CD and book, 210×148 mm, 20pp; foil-blocked cover.
John Wall : Arranging/composition/sampling/voice manipulation
Alex Rodgers : Voice/texts
Limited edition of 200 copies
Mastered by Paul Richardson
"John Wall’s granular textures once again manipulate and
augment the oblique poetics of Alex Rodgers. The two
have been collaborating for well over a decade now, in a
gambit for Wall to reshape his creative process through
improvisational strategies. Wall’s once meticulously edited
samples have become serpentine, liquid, yet unmistakably
digital. On Soar, his constructions look back to the glitch-
worship electronica of Vladislav Delay, Oval and Pole in
their attempts to shed themselves of the trappings of
techno. A lounge lizard slink is evident throughout Wall’s
brief compositions, allowing plenty of space for Rodgers
to gruffly articulate his existential profundities."

COMPILATION
E84
Mecha/Orga (Greece). Mecha/Orga is the project of Yiorgis Sakellariou. Since its inception in 2003, Yiorgis has released a number of albums and performed his work internationally. He is actively involved with contemporary and experimental music in Greece through his CD-R label Echo Music and as a member of the Centre of Contemporary Music Research and the Hellenic Electroacoustic Composers Association. Adam Asnan (UK). This work, as its title suggests, can be best described as a presentation of materials analogous to a grumble, rustle, gurgle or rasp. As the dialogue and interplay between these materials takes form,
periodic lapses give way to variations of perceived obedience and stillness. The retention and encouragement of selected artifacts produced by technological idiosyncrasies or human agency in operation) provide for extra dimensions of punctuation, interruption and diversion. By allowing the sounds of the apparatus to remain, a juxtaposition between the acousmatic window and its inherent
artificiality is suggested. With a predilection for the classic theoretical/aesthetic framework of musique concrète, Adam’s work focuses primarily on the variable natures of sound capture, exploration and projection, often utilising the playback device and/or loudspeaker as an instrument in itself. Pauwel De Buck (Belgium). Neenah Foundry is a multi-channel composition constructed from field recordings which were made in the courtyard of an apartment building and in the cafeteria of Sint-Lukas art academy in Gent. The premise for this work was the contrast between these two sound environments. Due to the enclosed nature of these spaces, the surrounding sounds of the city were heavily filtered; only a residue was audible in the courtyard. The overpopulated cafeteria, in combination with its bad acoustics, created a complex frame of sound reflections and textures. Joshua Convey (USA). New York-based Joshua Convey creates textural, rhythmic and, perhaps surprisingly, melodic compositions by weaving traditional instrumentation (guitar, harmonica), field recordings and electronics to create moody tension between the different sounds. Joshua is also a member of Fessenden, a trio with Stephen Fiehn and Haptic’s Steven Hess.
Adrián Democ (Slovakia). For flute, soprano and string quartet. Adrián begun studying composition in Brno (Czech Republic) in 2003. Since then, his work has been commissioned and performed across Europe. He is also an improvising player of the fujara and other traditional Slovakian wind instruments. Mastered by Themistoklis Pantelopoulos. Edition of 500 copies.
