digiv031: lawrence english "kiri no oto" lp

there's no doubt that lawrence english has been responsible for some of the best drone compositions in the past decade, but with kiri no oto he unleashed his magnum opus. it's a stunning album on every level. english blends an array of natural and unnatural sources into a living document that is constantly captivating and engages the listener on many levels. this is a work set apart from much of english's discography, but still blanketed by his exquisite attention to detail that keeps everything in its right place. originally released as a cd on touch, kiri no oto finds a new lease on life etched into wax.

album opener “organs lost at sea” leaves nothing to chance. from the first saturated chords, you are enveloped in kiri's aural landscape. towering drones get weighted down with fuzz, overpowering the fog that's present throughout the record. it's like hearing the hum of the earth released from its cage for the first time. flowing seamlessly into the quieter but no less imposingsoft fuse,” there's never a chance to catch your breath. english is content to overrun your ears. “waves sheer light” catches you by the wings and lifts you high into the clouds. this is what floating sounds like. it's an enchanted and dizzying experience.

this is music that is timeless in the literal sense. you get lost within these sonic walls, unsure if you've been swimming there for hours or only a few minutes. this is especially true on the underwater gauziness of “figures lone static.” it feels endless. “white spray” plies similar ground with bits and pieces of electric harmonics peaking through the static every so often acting as beacons to find your way. i'm content to get lost here.

as the album comes to a close on the cathartic “oamura,lawrence english's job is done. he has taken you on a dynamic journey and kept you riding on eternal highs. when the melodic tones finally get overtaken by the sound of ocean waves it is simply time to flip it over and start the experience again.

the music on kiri no oto has been remastered for vinyl by lawrence english and cut to vinyl by d+m, with photography by jon wozencroft.

presto!? press release...

lawrence english / tom hall "euphonia"

total time: 38.18
format: cd
limited edition: 300
design: lorenzo senni
release date: 16/10/08
catalog number: p!?003

recorded throughout the first half of 2008, euphonia sees lawrence english and tom hall team up to explore a range of extended processing and compositional techniques. inspired in equal parts by the openness of cluster's kraut explorations, echoes of eno's ambient works, contemporary field recording and minimal electronics, euphonia creates a uniform sense of warmth and glow - a sonic rendering of glimpsed views from some distant, hazy horizon. working with various instruments, analog equipment, electronics, as well as a variety of 'in the field' processes (whereby sounds created in the studio were re-recorded in various environments such as dilapidated water tanks on a farm), the record is a tempered with a sense of muted restraint and subtle variation.

philip samartzis & lawrence english
one plus one

the turntable has enjoyed a varied history in the realm of performance and experimental music. from the early phonographic works of john cage to the spliced cut-ups of christian marclay in the 1980s, the device has proven to be a versatile tool for the creation and transformation of sound.

following a joint billing at brisbane’s metro arts space in 2002, melbourne based composer philip samartzis and sound artist lawrence english shared a 30-minute performance that was to become the beginning of their on-going turntable duo. both samartzis (a member of the legendary australian turntable group gum) and english (a regular player with dj olive, janek schaefer and others) have long histories of live actions utilising turntables and together each of them brings a wealth of gestures and unique sonic qualities to the instrument.

recorded in early 2006, this edition captures the initial studio works from these two artists and seeks to reflect on the potential of the cyclical nature of vinyl and the surface noise that envelopes the very medium itself.

lawrence englishghost towns” three inch fan compact disc

  • ghost towns (18:20)
room40 press release...
recorded in the later half of 2003, this composition, falling just shy of 20 minutes is composed largely of field recordings. the only processing is via eq and pitch shifting. the work is an abstracted impressionist sound portrait, sketching out the isolated soundscapes that exist, for the most part unheard, in these forgotten realms.

april 2008 release ; excellent compilation covering short-form work from a fine assortment of contemporary sound figures, ranging from surface-noise / crackle etudes to processed field recordings & the odd machine-shop drone (listen to the sound-sample) ...

gorgeous embossed sleeve (more of a double-width envelope really) with a 7” x 7 letter-pressed card containing all of the credits & info tucked inside ... along with the recent unframed-label series, this carefully considered edition elevates the lowly 7” single into a proper “art” format ... highly recommended !!!
