This is a high point for both.

I know what you mean about Kaiser. His name commands respect but over the past few years when I’m looking for stuff to listen to I have a tendency to skip him over. I think Ivar Grydeland was just what the doctor ordered. I’m looking forward to checking out Stop Freeze Wait Eat on Hubro probably later today.

I’m going to rate Into the Arctic Dreamtime 4/5 Stars. It could have been a fiver but I feel like the guitar hijinx on the final track, which is probably Kaiser, is unnecessary. Maybe I’m being a sourpuss but I don’t feel like the record needs any sort of climax. But on different day in a different mood I might be like ****in-a he’s killing it.

Great recommendation. Thanks

New one. Should have very strong appeal to fans of free improvisation.

4/5

Beatriz Ferreyra - Echos +

Beautifully dark musique concrete with a capella and percussion tracks.

Quote:

Her work, which is still very much an active investigation, is simultaneously complex and elegantly simple. Often drawing upon singular object of focus, Ferreyra’s use of tape and other forms of manipulation radically reconfigure her chosen sound materials, opening them outward. ‘Echos’ for example is sourced entirely from recordings of her niece who was killed in a car accident and ‘The Other Shore’ (com- posed as a response to the Tibetan Book Of The Dead) uses only percussion.

Echos+ brings together three of Ferreyra’s most engaging compositions. Each of the works are deeply personal, but transcend that position, effortlessly welcoming us inside them. They collectively chart out a broad framework that not only defines her philosophical interests as a composer, but also marks out critical moments in her creative and technical approaches; shifting from her roots in tape music to more digital approaches.
