Lueur consists of four electroacoustic compositions; the product of unfolding and unpredictable generative processes spread across 38 minutes.
An exploration of process as much as tone and texture, the album takes shape through a series of ever-changing movements, interweaving dense low passages and abrupt changes of atmosphere and sound. It is a record that rewards close and repeated listening.
Mastered by Erik Nyström, the record is housed in a custom sleeve, screenprinted in two-colours with procedurally- generated artwork by Luke Twyman. Variations of each layer are combined to make 16 unique sleeve designs, with a further screenprint on the inner sleeve.
The music is derived from generative processes that often appear directly entangled, that are set in motion and activated while maintaining their own degree of autonomy. It takes a certain time for a process to manifest itself. To express its time-varying qualities.
How it unfolds resembles a certain kind of evolution, a becoming that does not have a clear goal but that is based on a constant renewal and recreation. The title refers to faint, quiet but unsteady light sources. Brightness that disperses and refracts at different angles and unfolds through a series of connected developments. Processes that continuously produce output implying a ‘tending towards’ characteristic where certain elements endure while others fade away.
The idea is to uncover details, to introduce something very specific that expands and develops through two important layers of temporal experience, a very direct action-oriented perception and the slower experience of a past that folds into the present.
Pierre Bastien built its instrumentarium under the influence of Raymond
Roussel's imagination and book Impressions d'Afrique. For TRUC, he
agreed to put together this compilation about "imaginary instruments".
He selected descriptions of sounds, sound devices or instruments
imagined by writers.
He then invited musicians to imagine the sound these invented devices would produce.
TRUC has a special thought for Victor Nubla and Tom Relleen (Tomaga) who
left before the release of this compilation to which they contributed.
tʌntrə VIIII [sic] by Neotantra I am almost through all 10 volumes of this series. I think the quality is a bit uneven across the series, but there are a few pretty nice tracks here.
We will bring the bad things, dancing in
your office will be a den of sin
open up the cabinet, loosen your tie
the time has come for you to die
Look at all the bad things, grinning through
the semblance that you think is you
your Fairy liquid soul anew
a contractual residue
So So
Comme ci Comme Ca
So So
Comme ci Comme Ca
We have all the bad things, just for you
You're not anti-Semitic, you just don't like Jews
your spirit like a stale beer
paracetamol and codeine is the answer here
Watch the fire coming down
eating up your nice small town
oh what have the chapel learnt
when the tapestries are burnt
Well, as this thread is about to end soon, I'd just like to thank all those good folks that voted in the election. I'll apologize for sticking politics into my posts but I won't apologize for feeling genuinely hopeful for our future. We just found out that my youngest son, my youngest granddaughter along with that son's in-laws have tested positive for covid. No symptoms yet and unrelated exposures. I'm so thankful that there will be a true leader to help the US get together. I hope that's the last political thing I have to say! Thanks Again!!!
@confused you should send your family to live in Australia! In Melbourne, population nearly 5 million, we have just gone nine days without a single new case of Covid and no deaths. During the whole epidemic this year Australia, population 25 million, has had a total number of infections of under 28,000 and only 907 deaths. And it is a pretty good place as well!
My neighbor friend from down the street left for New Zealand when Bush was installed. Said that he couldn't believe what America had become. I suppose I should've listened. Of course, right after he got there, there was a major earthquake, but that's something else.
