99 Cent Dreams

“These sound fragments were recorded with a portable cassette recorder between 1998 and 2003 in and around the Lower East Side (LES), an area in New York City that extends roughly from Canal Street up to 14th Street and from the Bowery (3rd Avenue) to the East River. In the formative years of my cassette practice, I had a habit of walking around with my recorder and capturing very short snippets of sound – at times less than a second, as if taking a photo – as well as some longer segments of deep listening. These recordings carved a dense collage on the magnetic tapes, and I am presenting the sounds here with the same editing style as I captured them almost 20 years ago.”

paper blown between the spaces in my ribs

(lamentations) for éliane is a long form work for prepared euphonium that Barbier has created over the last four years utilizing under explored avenues of instrumental modification and acoustic irregularities inspired by the work of Éliane Radigue and John McCowen.

In paper blown between the spaces in my ribs, they explore intersections of vanishing sonic ecologies, sonifications of the interior world of untouched instruments, and a search for the safety and stability of constructed memories. The piece completes a series of works about longing for home and was created for Lampo.

“Time is of no importance. All that counts is the duration necessary for a seamless development. My music evolves organically. It’s like a plant. We never see a plant move, but it is growing continually. Like plants, immobile but always growing, my music is never stable. It is ever changing”

– Éliane Radigue. Time is of no Importance

Field recordings from Iceland 2013 - 2016

“Austrian sound artist Matthias Urban crafted the two 20-minute, side-long tracks on SiAl out of field recordings he made in Iceland a few years ago. His source sounds are often recognizable, filled with running water, chirping birds, and wafting wind.
What makes SiAl so compelling is the way Urban sequences those sounds, creating a subliminal narrative where each aural event feels like a new chapter in a story. There’s a stretch on side two that builds palpable drama out of what sounds like mucky footsteps tromping through a swamp. It’s odd to feel suspense without even knowing exactly what’s going on, but Urban’s work on SiAl has that kind of sneaky power.”
- Bandcamp Daily
“These recordings were captured over a four-year period, but they come across as a single adventure: a trek into the wild, away from humanity, at the mercy of the elements. Urban returns with stories to tell, and blends them into an exquisite aural novel: a book on tape without words.”
