This is a 100% vinyl mix from Type boss John Twells (aka Xela) and Barge Records boss Ian Lawrence. The two Greater Boston residents came together to create Spectral Rehab, a monthly night at Central Square’s River Gods bar, playing a sprawling selection of haunted off-world pop music and gurgling drones. The mix is a sort of mission statement, blending Ian’s love of dub and post-punk with John’s rap and noise cravings to come up with an endearing splatter of fine tunes. If you’re in the Boston area, get on down, have a drink and enjoy the selections.

“Owl Splinters” by Deaf Center

Love is a stream...



It is hard to believe that six years have gone by since Deaf Center’s seminal ‘Pale Ravine’ LP hit the shelves. In the time since, their distinct brand of haunted, cinematic ambience has curled and wisped its way into near mainstream acceptance. The distinct melodies of Norwegians Erik Skodvin and Otto Totland have now become almost synonymous with a specific shard of mysterious, gloomy imagery so it feels high time that the duo should return to add the next chapter to their shadowy history.

In contrast to Skodvin and Totland’s previous work, ‘Owl Splinters’ was recorded in a studio setting (Nils Frahm’s Durton studio, to be exact), and the lo-fidelity, haphazard techniques of their early recordings are now all but gone. With the benefit of some high-end engineering and analogue equipment, Skodvin and Totland’s murky compositions have been transformed from sketches into glorious widescreen spectacles. The blackened, scraping tone of Skodvin’s strings ring out on the album’s opener ‘Divided’ before seismic bass drones push up from beneath with a cacophonous, earthy clarity. This is the same Deaf Center we fell in love with all those years ago, but bigger and more powerful than ever before.

Between the more epic compositions, the two musicians take time to give their own solo instruments the time to breathe – Totland with the piano and Skodvin on the cello. These small vignettes are crucial to the overall narrative of ‘Owl Splinters’, each adding not only a chance for the listener to breathe, but also a crack of sunlight in the oppressively bleak atmosphere. Everything slots into place on the album’s crushing centrepiece ‘The Day I Would Never Have’ – piano and cello tumble into each other forming a dense, affecting cloud of sound. Echoes of half-remembered horror movies, love songs and the dark arts are crumbled together in a Norwegian cauldron to reveal something that at its heart is deeply moving and dare I say it, beautiful? Deaf Center are back, and ‘Owl Splinters’ might just be their most defining moment to date.

Improvisaatioita Kanssa - Siniaanet

Sinusovky po finsku...



Jukka Vakkinen-Kannonen is a former TV documentary director who currently lives in Tampere, Finland. He now works as a computer technician assisting small architecture studios with IT services.

Initially intrigued by the work of local heroes Pansonic and Mika Vainio and then later by the work of György Ligeti, Iannis Xenakis, Arne Nordheim and Bernard Günter, Jukka started to perform and record short improvisations using sine waves and field recordings that he originally captured for his documentaries.

To accompany his work, he refers to the texts of German philosopher Martin Heidegger "...a place that the ideas and sensibility behind what I do seem to perceive as very familiar."

After four years and many hours of archived sounds accumulated through improvised sessions, he decided to edit them into a two-piece sound release titled Improvisaatioita Kanssa Siniaanet which simply means 'Improvisations With Sine Waves'
What is interesting with Jukka's work is that instead of the at times irritating and shrill sound that we often associated with sine waves, he has painstakingly carved out a pair of viscous soundscapes that manage to coax out a sense of calm and transition between his several years' worth of source material.

Transition seems to be Vakkinen-Kannonen's main concern when working with sound as we can learn from his quotes below:

"The notion of time is acquired in the passage from one moment to another not in the moment itself."
Jukka Vakkinen-Kannonen.

"Sine waves seem to end nowhere and start never."
Jukka Vakkinen-Kannonen.
