  • Moss Covered Technology - River Slows Pt.1
    New track from Moss Covered Technology; forthcoming on Fluid Audio...
    Dartmoor! thou wert to me, in childhood's hour,
    A wild and wondrous region. Day by day
    Arose upon my youthful eye they belt
    Of hills mysterious, shadowy, clasping all
    The green and cheerful landscape sweetly spread
    Around my home; and with a stern delight
    I gazed upon thee. How often on the speech
    Of the half-savage peasant have I hung,
    To hear of rock-crowned heights on which the cloud
    For ever rests; and wilds stupendous swept
    By mightiest storms; of glen, and gorge, and cliff,
    Terrific, beetling o'er the stone-strewed vale;
    And giant masses, by the midnight flash
    Struck from the mountain's hissing brow, and hurled
    Into the foaming torrent; and of forms
    That rose amid the desert, rudely shaped
    By Superstition's hands when time was young;
    And of the dead, the warrior dead, who sleep
    Beneath the hollowed cairn! My native fields,
    Though peerless, ceased to please. The flowery vale,
    The breezy hill, the river and the wood,
    Island, reef, headland, and the circling sea,
    Associated by the sportful hand
    Of Nature, in a thousand views diverse,
    Or grand, or lovely, -to my roving eye
    Displayed in vain their infinite of charms;
    I thought on thy wild world, -to me a world,-
    Mysterious Dartmoor, dimly seen, and prized
    For being distant and untrod; and still
    Where'er I wander'd, -still my wayward eye
    Rested on thee!
    In sunlight and in shade,
    Repose and storm, wide waste! I since have trod
    Thy hill and dale magnificent. Again
    I seek thy solitudes profound, in this
    Thy hour of deep tranquillity, when rests
    The sunbeam on thee, and thy desert seems
    To sleep in the unwonted brightness, calm,
    But stern; for though the spirit of the Spring
    Breathes on thee, to the charmer's whisper kind
    Thou listenest not, nor ever puttest on
    A robe of beauty, as the fields that bud
    And blossom hear thee. Yet I love to tread
    They central wastes when not a sound intrudes
    Upon the ear, but rush of wing or leap
    Of the hoarse waterfall. And oh, 'tis sweet
    To list the music of thy torrent-streams;
    For thou too hast thy minstrelsies fro him
    Who from their liberal mountain-urn delights
    To trace thy waters, as from source to sea
    They rush tumultuous. Yet for other fields
    Thy bounty flows eternal. From thy sides
    Devonia's rivers flow; a thousand brooks
    Roll o'er they rugged slopes; -'tis but to cheer
    Yon Austral meads unrivalled, fair as aught
    That bards have sung, or Fancy has conceived
    'Mid all her rich imaginings: whilst thou,
    The source of half their beauty, wearest still
    Through centuries, upon they blasted brow,
    The curse of barrenness.

  • Slow Reels - Sustain
    Ian Hawgood and James Murray began Slow Reels in 2018 from studios in London and Warsaw. The early work involved exchanging heavily modulated long-form textures, recorded on a variety of instruments, notably vintage synths. Reiterative digital manipulations and successive destructive passes through an end-of-life reel-to-reel tape setup resulted in a collection of entirely unrepeatable drone suites.
    Their debut Farewell Islands for Morr Music was met with widespread critical acclaim. Sustain, presented now by Fluid Audio, extends the force of this uncompromising aesthetic further, as the artists’ shared medium further degenerates into overwhelming, full-frequency emotion.

  • Hotel Neon - Dust And Drag
    “I could hear everything, together with the hum of my hotel neon. I never felt sadder in my life.” - Jack Kerouac, “On the Road” (1957)
    In chapter 13 of Jack Kerouac’s “On the Road,” we find Sal in a Los Angeles hotel room with his new girlfriend, Terry, soon after they’ve decided to hitchhike back to New York with the $10 they share between them. Staring out the window in a sleepless fit, Sal observes a domestic dispute across the street: the humming neon sign of the hotel is an audible element amidst the police’s questioning, family’s sobbing, and city’s howling sirens, all of them blending together in an oddly poignant moment.
    This idea of sound adding context and emotion to human experiences is the foundation of Hotel Neon. The project formed in 2012 under far less desperate conditions than Sal’s, but it has always been anchored in the practice of recording musical responses to the current moment. The chord progression of “A Lament,” for instance, was recorded in the hours following the breaking news out of Sandy Hook on December 14, 2012. Ever since then, we have continued to create soundtracks for specific settings and situations in our lives.
    “Hotel Neon 10: Reworks” is a reflection on the 10th anniversary of our debut self-titled album, which was released on July 30, 2013 in a batch of 100 cassettes. Initially a loose collection of minimal drone experiments with no intention for follow-up after the tapes ran out, Hotel Neon has morphed into the central musical identity for each of us, leading to friendships, experiences, and purpose that we could never have imagined at the time.
    This is not simply a remaster or remix; HN10 has been entirely reworked from the ground up. You will notice that some of the essential elements and structures from the original songs come through, but we made a concerted effort to build on those early ideas and present a new album with our current tools, techniques, and experience.
    We deeply appreciate your support, and thank you for listening.
