Track taken from the upcoming album 'Replicas' by Gideon Wolf...

...

Constructed over 2 years this album has been slowly pieced together, reshaped, scraped, re-written and made again before becoming the album you are listening to now.

Replicas’ is a dark journey into a past, present and future that is personal, and reflective of wider concerns shaping this island(s) we live on.

At points angry and born out of frustration and angst for the times we are living in, this album goes back to my roots; a council flat in South East London, freedom, degradation, concrete, community, rich, poor, the melting pot of cultures, music, and people.

As cultural lines have been drawn in a different way through gentrification, a poverty divide similar to those of the 80’s and the b word, I have found myself struggling to accept my own place as a working class composer, father and human.

This album I suppose you could say is a meditation on the urban sprawl I grew up in, getting older, and my place in a community that feels like it has lost its way. - GW

“A miracle is a shift in perception from fear to love.”

As with most things in life there is a backstory to how this single came into being. Earlier this year Craig and I invited Kira Kira to contribute an album to our new label Letra Rec, and to our combined delight she agreed! A plan was hatched and we expected to hear results early 2019, and promptly got on with our other activities.

Early December I received and email from Kira Kira with an mp3 and the seed of an idea, to release a single “A miracle is a shift in perception from fear to love” in celebration of the winter solstice, the forthcoming holy season and Kira Kira’s birthday. After a few back and forth mails the idea had begun to take root and things were in motion. I would remix the track as an exclusive digital b-side, and in the spirit of the season we would donate all proceeds to UNICEF’s Yemen appeal (https://www.unicef.org.uk/donate/yemen/).

It has been a mad rush to the finishing line getting all the bits together but with hearts full of hope we are pleased to release into the world “A miracle is a shift in perception from fear to love”. We would also like to send a big hug to our friends at Boomkat for hosting this yuletide release. - Andrew Hargreaves (TLO)

.......

I came across these words in “A Course in Miracles,” one of the greater canons of contemporary spiritual literature originally published by The Foundation for Inner Peace in 1976. When I read this for the first time: “A miracle is a shift in perception from fear to love,” something changed in me. It felt amazing, just reading these words, so I underlined them. And then I wrote them up on a piece of paper and taped it to my wall. Can it be that a bouquet of words has presence? Spirit, even? Being fearful is a pain, it truly is. I’d like to be in love, not fear, so I began to witness these kinds of shifts. To consciously, actively transform fear to love by being present with it and singing is such a primal, effective way to do that.

I’ve practiced Yoga and meditation avidly for about 10 years now and so I am well familiar with the practice of using mantras as medicine for the mind and spirit. But finding words outside the traditional arsenal of healing mantras that resonate with me personally was something else and has taken things to a new level. 

I hope this one can be of service to others as well. - Kira Kira

1631 Recordings is proud to release the original score for the indie documentary “The Man Behind The Microphone” composed by Tom Hodge and Franz Kirmann.

Directed by Claire Belhassine and produced by Claire de Lune Films and Roast Beef/Nutopia, The Man Behind The Microphone starts from a very personal story (the British director found out by chance in her early 30s that her grandfather was a legend of Tunisian music, the ‘Frank Sinatra’ of Tunisia) and turns into a family saga and a reflection on the nature of fame, culture, heritage and homeland.

Tom Hodge and Franz Kirmann have worked collaboratively over the past 10 years and have released three albums together under the guise of their post-classical/electronic moniker Piano Interrupted. This is their second soundtrack together, having composed the score to BBC One series McMafia earlier this year.

The Man Behind The Microphone took several years to complete and Kirmann & Hodge were involved early on, sketching compositions loosely inspired by some of Hédi Jouini’s own music. Sometimes they would sample a small musical phrase from his old recordings or write harmonies and chords in a relative key to use as a starting point for their pieces. Their score echoes the melancholy and investigative nature of Claire Belhassine’s quest for her grandfather and the mysterious and fragmented aspects of the story.

Kirmann’s vaporous electronics and Hodge’s ghostly piano and clarinet lines are mixed with earthy analog synth basses and a string quartet provided by the London Contemporary Orchestra. The soundtrack is a melancholic and dreamy journey over 9 pieces, oscillating between post classical, minimalist and ambient music.

“There is a real sense of culmination about this soundtrack. In one way way it is our very first score, as it started long before McMafia. But even more so, you might say it is simultaneously our first and last Piano Interrupted record, or our very first collaboration even. Our album Two By Four was strongly influenced by our work on the prototype of this film and the sound of Papa Hedi. Yet because of the longevity of this film project, our combined musical voice has been profoundly altered by our work on our other two Piano Interrupted albums, as well as the four hours of score we wrote for McMafia. Here we are, full circle.”

Shortly after releasing his highly acclaimed ‘The Benoît Pioulard Listening Matter’(Kranky), Pioulard left on tour to Europe in order to promote the album. This tour took him to several distinctive places ranging from urban Brussels to rural France and the mystic capital city of Iceland, Reykjavik.

Once returned to Seattle, these new impressions and memories formed the inspiration to make ‘Slow spark, soft spoke’. Not surprisingly, the album continues in the same vein as his tour cd ‘Lignin Poise’ - which was repressed on vinyl by Beacon Sound - and is characterized by slowly moving lo-fi ambient textures. The album reveals Pioulards most melancholic side and once again shows his capabilities to bring beautiful sonic narratives with only a few instrumental layers.

‘Slow spark, soft spoke’ was initially released on tape on Dauw but sold out quickly during pre-order. After having received only sublime reviews and tons of request to re-issue the album, we now decided to give it a well deserved vinyl repress.

“'Never, just as you wanted' is a timeless odyssey of complete transcendence with gradual bliss of guitar tones – and meticulously crafted sounds – that somehow map the ocean swell of human emotions – of the innermost kind – embedded deep within us all." (Fractured Air)

For this vinyl edition, Pioulard decided to add 2 totally new tracks in addition to the 4 initial ones. These new tracks are presented as the single 'Athanasy, 1993' which will be released and announced with the vinyl pre-order on October 4th. All together, the initial EP and the new single form a consistent full length which adds to his impressive and ever growing catalogue.

‘Slow spark, soft spoke’ will be released on October 26th on a limited vinyl edition (200 heavyweight clear vinyl) and digitally. The tape comes with original hand-printed artwork by Femke Strijbol and will be accompanied by a unique polaroid taken by Benoît Pioulard (limited to 50 only).
