Correspondences Vol. 1

by Soundwalk Collective

supported by

Finn of Tomland Spoken word poetry usually doesn't do it for me but on this occation it has something that i can't put my finger on why i like what i hear and that made it even more interesting to me.
And together with the exquisite field recordings and experimental electronics i just had to have it.
So, i grabbed a copy of this over at Juno (prepaid VAT = no fee) and the digital here to save the precious vinyl from total wear and tear.
Very highly recommended.

about

CORRESPONDENCES is an ever-evolving project between SoundwalkCollective and Patti Smith. Spanning over 10 years, it traverses a wealth of geographies and their natural environments, where the artists have uncovered sonic steps left by poets, filmmakers, revolutionaries, and the impact of climate change. Soundwalk Collective’s founder, Stephan Crasneanscki, has explored, captured and collected the world’s remotest places in sound to awaken a sonic memory within the landscape, uncovering traces of past and current histories of the world we are living in. The resulting compositions are made of sound that reflect our relation to this world, the environment, the soul of our existence, and the creative process of the artist.

Initially composed as long travelling shots, soundtracks to an invisible movie, Stephan brought these recordings to Patti Smith, giving her new landscapes to channel her poetic vision. This ongoing resonance between the artists – which started during a chance encounter on a plane – has been shaped by their correspondences: ongoing conversations with the intention of reflecting on life and nature.

For CORRESPONDENCES, their collaboration focuses on eight unique pieces that revert the relationship of sound to image. Sound came first, and only then would imagery be found to tell the music’s story, visually edited to each soundtrack. From a collaboration with TBA21-Academy exploring the destructive impact of seismic airguns and human interventions in the oceans, to the resilience of Nature in the aftermath of the Chernobyl disaster, to the decentralized societies envisioned by Peter Kropotkin, to the wastelands of Pasolini’s last night: the pieces presented become thought-provoking audiovisual journeys.

The Alias Sessions
by Murcof

supported by 6 fans who also own “Correspondences Vol. 1”

Absolute monster of a gem from the anonymous godfather of ambient music. I try to stay on top of musical releases but missed this one, but it found me at just the right time. Murcof deserves his chance on a large scale soundtrack for a big budget film. Hopefully the Universe hears my prayer for this. Nathan Payne

This band has been unrecognised for 100 years of sheer brilliance...up till now. As usual, sheer genius, The Fall are the most underrated band of their generation and beyond. mitres
