seziki tetrasheaf / quiet eveningssplit” long playing record

  • seziki tetrasheaf - let’s do carpet beach (17:26)

  • quiet evenings - gold coast (17:30)
october 2011 release ; ... issued as the ceremonial gold / 10-carat release(s) on rotifer & hooker vision (respectively), this split covers the 2011 reality of each label’s respectivecornerstoneartist (rc’s own david toro as seziki tetrasheaf & hv’s grantnova scotian arms” & rachelmotion sickness of time travelevans as quiet evenings) ...

david’s side is aglorious train-wreck of plunderphonic slown beats & assorted looped materials that isn’t too far in practice from joseph hammer’s work ; rachel & grant work some swampland poly-synth shuffle-flutter that opens up into a marvelous wash of hissing sawtooth haze ...

comes wrapped in a neat trompe-l’oeil sleeve with art by all three (plus jeffryxiphiidaeastin) that captures just the right levels of disorientation & ease as conjured by the music ... lovely record.

rc50/hiv100: seziki tetrasheaf/quiet evenings split lp

edition of 300

in celebration of rotifer's 50th and hooker vision's 100th releases, the two labels have teamed up to offer a commemorative split lp between the labels' flagship bands, seziki tetrasheaf and quiet evenings.

the a side begins with seziki's lost and found shuffle of mildewed grooves. hazy recollections. deep humidity.

on the flip, qe cool things down a bit with a bubbling hymn to the ocean and her mysteries. lost in waves. floating.

mastered by keith fullerton whitman.

black vinyl with metallic silver and black label. full color art by jeffry astin, david toro, and grant and rachel evans.

december 2010 release ; fully authorized, legit edition of this 1975, all-time pina classic, finally re-issued on “god’s format” :: professionally duplicated & imprinted cro2 cassette ... to wit ::

... one of those records that i’ve seen on ebay a number of times but never gave a second-thought about because of the new age connotations ... but here, listening to it in depth in comfort: damn !!!

there are a few really nice pieces on here! namely the close-your-eyes-and-its-fennesz chord-wash of “angel play”, the muted drones of “cloud prayer”... and in fact any of the pieces over 4 or so minutes: they all seem to dip your toes in a magic lake and, by the time your knees are wet there’s always something really interesting going on (there’s even a ~5 minute jam called “bubble massage” that consists of nothing but recordings of water bubbling all overdubbed atop each other!)

iasosdigi-verb’ed autoharp bliss-outs have never been as well captured as on this record, which pretty much third-mindedly blueprinted for the entire new age / azimuth-leaning revival of the past few years ... highly recommended !!!

rc37: iasos - 'inter-dimensional music' (c54)

this is the album that began both the legacy of iasos and the genre of "new age" music in 1975. this can be thought of as a sonic journey through a great many realms - from etheric tropical to inter-planetary - great for "consciousness-travelling" via sound. professionally duplicated on cassette for the first time in over 30 years onto type ii, chrome format.

designed for focused listening - definitely not as "background music".

i find your inter-dimensional music needing new words to describe it. i feel as though i were entering a new world - a new and very profoundly beautiful world.

- r. buckminster fuller (in a letter to iasos)

iasos is doing the classical music of the new age.

alan watts, metaphysical philosopher

rc29: christopher riggs - '5:00, 3:00'

part of a series of eight c30s where each fifteen minute side is evenly divided in a different way. side a contains 3 five minute pieces while side b contains 5 three minute pieces. a single tape limits every piece to the same set of 3-4 sounds. 8 tapes = 8 sets of sounds. piping creaks sway back and forth, tearing through distinct conversation. other parts out now on midori and rigg's label, holy cheever church.
