Magneto Mori: Kilfinane

On this cassette sounds from Kilfinane’s past and present intermingle in a stew of dissected audio tape. A ritual of memory and forgetting. Presented here are the sounds that endured.

Elsewhere is a negative mirror

Mark’s soundscapes always have the effect of creating cinematic stories for your mind’s eye. Completely intriguing, mysterious and inviting. The music of earthly sphere….with a sense of eavesdropping in on snippets of other lives. Highly recommended listening!

the scaffold
by manja ristić & murmer
supported by 7 fans who also own “Photophobia”
I love how soundscape artists like MJ and PJM can turn field recordings into magic mirrors to help us see the wonder in our everyday worlds. I have never heard a scaffold singing, but now I want to listen! I hear here, too, how the organic and mechanical can merge into something new and mysterious, even transcendent, in the densest urban environments if we open ourselves to that possibility. And what a lovely mix of droning and percussive textures!

The new album from electroacoustic composer Jeremy Young is draped in a sense of mystery, tones flickering gently, like an old home movie.
