The month of April brings two new albums from two artists that are slowly emerging from their early stages of development, blossoming with works that are vibrant and visceral while maintaining a cerebral conceptual approach to abstract audio art.
To shift from one place to another;
to move from one self to another self.
There is no finite point of belonging,
nor is there a concrete destination.
To imagine thriving, I must live my best factory life.
Composed, recorded, and mixed by Caroline Park in Vancouver, BC
Mastered by Jason Lescalleet at Glistening Labs USA
Available April 11, 2018

Taneli Viljanen is a Finnish artist working mainly with words and sound. They have previously published three tapes of music and four books of experimental fiction.
Metallisilmä, Haaksirikko is a composition in four parts; an assemblage created out of many disparate and heterogenous sound sources.
It seeks to find meaning and poetic sparks of beauty in the tensions between several different binaries:
between the musical and the nonmusical,
between the mundane and the uncanny,
between the objective and the subjective,
between the abstract and the visceral.
Recorded and assembled in Helsinki, Finland between 2015 and 2018.
Sounds, composition and cover artwork by Taneli Viljanen.
