Giuseppe Ielasi-s/t (2006)















The new untitled album by Giuseppe Ielasi lives in a land of lights and shades. The mist lies thick but close to the ground it’s glowing and sparking. Reflections shoot wildly in ambiguous patterns. The log-cutters are working with their loved and hated timber. This is GIs most complex work to date, both in regard to instrumentation and compositional form. A well-prepared decoction of dark cinema, wanderlust and experimental sound manipulating techniques.

The eclectic avant-folk and performance artist Dawn McCarthy brings her wide-ranging vocal and instrumental talents to this collection of dark, richly imaginative songs, aided by the multi-instrumentalist Nils Frykdahl.

Lunar Abyss Deus Organum-Snovidenie (2006)























First full-length CD album from the new incarnation of the long-active St Petersburg project known as Lunar Abyss Quartet. The material presented here is in the vein of the Brusnika 7" released on Drone Records and the Sleeping in the Sleep mini-album, with a similarly haunting and ethereal atmosphere. Ritual percussion, traditional Russian folk instruments and field recordings come together to form these incantations for forest spirits over a background of hazy drones and discreet electronics. Limited edition of 323 hand-numbered copies with hand-made sleeves.
