Curious listeners might know Dora from the string of lovely, idiosyncratic albums she’s released over the past two decades, most recently for labels like Modern Love, Morc and Recital; she’s also worked with the likes of Michel Henritzi and Sophie Cooper. Suzuki’s performances, predominantly for voice, place her within a tradition of Japanese improvised music – see the music she’s made with artists such as Takashi Masubuchi, TOMO and Leo Okagawa – but her approach also takes in folk song, ambience and claustrophobic drone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"has-text-align-center\"\u003eOn Kagome Kagome, Dora and Suzuki play to their many strengths: a gentle, free-willed folksiness; long, aerated drone constructs; ghostly, time-warping explorations for voice. They met on Dora’s May 2024 tour of Japan, though they’d been in touch beforehand, with Dora proposing the collaboration to Suzuki, developed around “concepts of ‘otherworldliness’ and ‘impermanence’,” the latter says, “and explored the relationship between ‘the invisible’ and sound in Japanese culture – a common interest we share.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"has-text-align-center\"\u003eThey recorded across several days that month, with the sessions for Kagome Kagome taking place in Kanumi, in Tochigi prefecture, at a space named Center. “I was particularly looking forward to seeing Delphine encounter the vintage 104-year-old harmonium from Nippon Gakki Seizo Co. that had just been repaired at Center,” Suzuki recalls. “It was as if the harmonium had been waiting for Delphine to draw sound from it. I felt it was a beautiful relationship where they could guide each other.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"has-text-align-center\"\u003eIndeed, there’s something channelled about the music that Dora and Suzuki made together in the session that constitutes Kagome Kagome. Dora’s harmonium might be the spine of the album, but Suzuki’s free-floating voice, and gaseous, muddied banks of electronics, wrap around the wheezing, ancient tonality of the harmonium beautifully – they, too, sound as though they were just waiting to be willed out of the daytime air. Their voices nestle together beautifully – “when we sang together in a tunnel,” Suzuki says, “there were times when we sang the exact same melody without planning. It happened so naturally that the boundaries between us became blurred.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"has-text-align-center\"\u003eAnd that title? It’s drawn from a Japanese children’s song, and the song titles themselves constitute the song’s lyrics, in alternating Japanese (Romanized) and French language. Urban legend connects the song “Kagome Kagome” to the Nikko Toshogu Shrine, nearby Center, that Suzuki and Dora visited while they were in Kanumi. “The mysterious lyrics of ‘Kagome Kagome’ and its puzzle-like connection to Nikko Toshogu were a perfect fit for this mysterious album,” Suzuki reflects, “which I think has its own kind of puzzle-like elements.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"has-text-align-center\"\u003eA deep album of prayer and magic, of divination and ritual, Kagome Kagome’s sense of serious play, its rich beauty, feels somehow dislocated from our time.

Both played guitar and had been searching for other musicians who played atmospheric music. Kevin had been playing in small clubs in Manchester and David had been playing in a few local bands. One evening, they jammed together, at Kevin’s family home, and quickly realized that their playing blended together to form the basis of the sound they had been looking for.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the late 70s, the music scene in Manchester was bursting with new bands and music. Kevin and David, however, had little in common with the local acts, being disciples of a more meditative approach. They followed a path of their own, reaching for an otherworldly sound that they heard from artists like John Martyn, David Crosby, Erik Satie, Terry Riley, Eberhard Weber, Alice Coltrane, and Ralph Towner. They experimented combining their acoustic guitars and David’s bass with various effects pedals and techniques to try and achieve\u003cspan class=\"bcTruncateMore\"\u003e a warm and expansive sound that rides the line between ambient, jazz, and psychedelic folk Music.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTowards 1981, they had written eleven songs and accompanied a few with Moog synthesizer laid down by Rob Baxter. All were recorded on cassette decks in their simple home studios. They named this collection of music “Light Patterns”, after a poem Kevin had written. With Light Patterns complete, they set out to find a label to represent their music.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThey started playing a few gigs in Manchester; Band On The Wall, the Gallery, and other venues, such as Rotters which local promoter Alan Wise had organized. They set up with small amps along with their effects and played as though they were back at home. As Kevin remarks, “It was unusual, to say the least, to play such venues in a low volume chilled out way. However, people listened, often in shocked curiosity, and some even asked for tapes.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePeter Jenner, of Blackhill Enterprises, eventually picked up the album for his new label, “Sheet”. Peter had managed lots of experimental bands and solo artists, including Pink Floyd in their early Syd Barrett days. He always favored outsiders! The tapes were taken to Strawberry Recording Studios in Manchester, who were surprised when Kevin and David walked in with just a couple of home-produced cassette tapes. Fortunately, they liked them and agreed to master the album. It was then sent to Portland Recording Studios in London for final mastering to vinyl. George Peckham, aka “Porky”, did the pressing with a personal message in the deadwax; “Kaftans, Candles and be Cool Man”. The artwork for the album cover was done by the late Barney Bubbles, a truly visionary artist.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAfter the album’s release, the pair continued to play together regularly until David moved away from the city. Kevin still resides near Manchester in the rolling hills outside of the city. He continues to experiment with dreamy music in his loft, and we are set to share a selection of his ethereal archival and current compositions on vinyl in the coming months. David lives a quiet life in a small coastal town in the South, he likes to sail and is an avid cricket fan. We’re excited to make Light Patterns accessible again for the first time in nearly 40 years, remastered from the original tapes. As the original press release said, “Put the album on, lie back and enter the land of no floors”.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e  \u003ca\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Seasonal Work","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42515907281030,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0600\/3874\/2150\/files\/a2548929823_10.jpg?v=1760222480"},{"product_id":"ben-bennett-answers","title":"Ben Bennett - ANSWERS","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBen Bennett\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eANSWERS\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLobby Art Editions\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUSA, 2025\u003cbr\u003eLP\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eIt feels churlish, not to mention inaccurate, to call this a solo drum record, when the sounds Ben Bennett coaxes out of his extended kit often sound like anything but.

In the video, Ben emits, intones, and then barks “yeah” relentlessly for an uninterrupted fifteen minutes. He pushes his reedy, anonymous voice—which in conversation conveys a kind of gentle bemusement—into guttural terrain that flirts with overtone singing (or screeching). The gesture feels raw and spontaneous, suspended in a vacuum. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe video has echoes of late ’60s and early ’70s American performance art—Bruce Nauman’s Lip Sync, Paul McCarthy’s Ma Bell—but Ben is not building a persona or engaging in clever language games. He pushes straight into the realm of pure sound, teasing out subtle variations from a barebones fragment of reckless affirmation—or maybe sarcasm—using democratic tools: his voice and a single, quintessentially American interjection that barely qualifies as language. It is obvious how much pleasure Ben takes in the act of listening. He punctuates the performance with silences, burrowing into the room’s resonance, which seems to surprise and delight him. Distilled to its simplest form, Ben transforms the utterance into an act of destructive glee that carries no trace of angst. Over time, his unwavering commitment to a stupid and very human\u003cspan class=\"bcTruncateMore\"\u003e endeavor becomes a devotional ritual that collides with the divine, without relying on a religious object.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOn ANSWERS (all-caps notwithstanding), Ben modestly continues to offer profound “answers” to questions about survival in the empty field. The actions it contains are not extreme; it operates at a relatively low dynamic, neither at the edge of inaudibility nor at the volume of inflammatory rage-bait. Microscopic but still visible, the sounds suggest the early stirrings of new, dumb lifeforms. ANSWERS is provocative in its lack of ornament—born of the post-industrial and natural worlds, hovering above quotidian realities. Ben continues to operate on the edge of not being aesthetic at all—subject dissolving into object—plumbing the nature of reality with his homespun spring-steel idiophone and coffee-can aerophone, until it verges on bathroom drainage. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs a percussionist, Ben has a lithe touch, moving seamlessly between sticks and his bare hands. Like Toshi Makihara and Sean Meehan, Ben is concerned with friction, yet his work is closer in spirit to Kieran Daly’s slowly unfolding monophonic MIDI investigations, which balance formal rigor, a cultivated openness to “dumbness,” and an abstract connection to the jazz tradition.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMy favorite moments on Answers are when the boundary between music and non-music becomes unstable, and when Ben abandons the drums and “music” entirely—\"How you sound when you’re criticizing me,” “Me when I’m having some work done,” and “Toroid – like a bagel or a donut”—where the album’s harsh plainness gives way to austere beauty, as if the vacuum momentarily ruptured. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eANSWERS feels as though it unfolds in isolation, yet the faintest vapors of the detritus, dust, and rubble of recognizable worlds drift in, giving rise to sounds that evoke goose honks, rapier blades, and field recordings from a Home Depot loading dock. Ben displays extraordinary sensitivity to vibrations that bloom briefly, then vanish. The record closes with twenty seconds of silence, a quiet void where everything disappears.

His 2018 \"Stealth\" was (and still is) a much-loved set, mixing elements of ambient and environmental music; with this new release Takao breaks free of the gravitational pull of these earlier influences and strides confidently forward. \"The End of the Brim\" jettisons some of the more abstract elements of his previous work, embracing a “universal listenability” and a more concrete intensity, with a focus on supple rhythms and strengthened senses of melodic development and harmonic sophistication. This musical growth can be linked with Takao’s admiration of composers Ken Muramatsu and Toshifumi Hinata, who are generally associated with commercial “production music” and easy listening. Another contributing factor is his private study with veteran keyboardist Ichiko Hashimoto of Colored Music. The ten tracks here include three vocal tracks, with three different singers (Yumea Horiike, Cristel Bere, Atsuo Fujimoto of Colored Music) and seven keyboard-led pieces. The vocal pieces are integral parts of the album’s flow, rather than typical “songs” driven by the name and personality of the singer.

An award-winning composer who has studied with Nadia Boulanger and Luciano Berio, he began composing electronic music in 1971, using the power of circuitry, tape and then digital technology to create a \"hyperreal\" musical world in which recordings of human performers, both vocalists and instrumentalists, are juxtaposed and recombined in compositions which span eras, cultures and genres. His use of expanded musical palettes arises from an aesthetic of inclusion, guided by an open spirit and an expansive musical sense. The combination of the emotional power of human performances with the precision of computers create real-beyond-real super-performances of surprising control and virtuosity, resulting in a hypothetical and yet very real music, full of drama, humor, and tenderness. This album, Creshevsky's second release on EM, following the 2004 \"Tape Music\" compilation, gives ample evidence of both his mastery of digital technology and his profound, empathetic musical instincts. His ability to use the computer to highlight the gifts of human performers is displayed on every track, including a piece which focuses on Japanese vocalist Tomomi Adachi.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Seasonal Work","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42546791481478,"sku":null,"price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0600\/3874\/2150\/files\/Noah_Creshevsky_-_Hyperrealist_Music_2011-2015_10th_Anniversary_Edition.jpg?v=1762114229"},{"product_id":"componium-ensemble-8-automated-works","title":"Componium Ensemble - 8 Automated Works (10\")","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eComponium Ensemble\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e8 Automated Works\u003cbr\u003eEM Records\u003cbr\u003eUSA\/Japan, 2025\u003cbr\u003e10\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eSpencer Doran of Visible Cloaks returns with a gorgeous, uncanny set of compositions composed \u0026amp; performed by virtual instruments.

Situated in a lineage of automated music that traces back to the ancient Greeks, Doran uses the possibilities of digital technology and its ability to automate a huge range of virtual instruments to move beyond human impulses and limitations to allow “new shapes to emerge”. Dedicated also to Noah Creshevsky, pioneer of what can be considered cyber-human music, Componium Ensemble features a wide and intriguing range of instruments including prepared piano, bowed harpsichord, celesta, bass clarinet, flute, cello, bamboo tingklik and more, often in multiple groupings. Despite this variety of instrumentation and the seemingly formidable theoretical underpinnings, the music is very accessible and attractive, spaciousand fresh, with a light touch and a sophisticated melodic sense which will appeal to pop fans as\u003cspan class=\"bcTruncateMore\"\u003e well as classical\/contemporary music listeners. The album is mixed by longtime collaborator Joe Williams (Motion Graphics, Lifted) and available in 10-inch vinyl, CD and Digital formats, with EN\/JP liner notes by Doran and a hyper-realistic cover by Japanese visual artist\/graphic designer Kai Yoshizawa, using 3DCG software. The CD and Digital formats also feature a Carl Stone remix bonus track.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“The history of automated instruments reaches back as far as Archimedes and his \"organum hydraulicum”, but it was the Banū Mūsā brothers in 9th-century Baghdad who first perfected the concept of a programmable, automated musician: a mechanically controlled flute which performed using a cistern’s hydraulic water pressure and a system of arrangeable punchcards using a visionary proto-MIDI structure. As European clock-making and mechanical music caught up to the Islamic Golden Age a millennium later, automated instruments intersected with aleatoric composition in Dietrich Nikolaus Winkel’s “self composing” Componium, a mechanical organ with two irregularly-shifting barrels that is said to have been able to arrange upwards of 55 trillion variations of an 80 bar piece divided into alternating 2 bar sections of pins. It is this intersection of chance systems and musical automatons that forms the terrain for the pieces on this release. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThese basic principles remain unchanged in the contemporary virtual studio, but the array of automatable instruments within our software systems has widened to a near-unfathomable degree (not to mention the speed and ease in which they can be summoned). Virtual players can be manipulated by far deeper aleatoric processes of note randomization, tempos modulated by the pseudo-naturalistic values of perlin noise, with even the physical properties of instruments erratically contorted and continuously in flux...” - S.
