North, by Jonathan Kawchuk

North

by Jonathan Kawchuk

supported by

roel funcken North is true, a subtle combination of acoustic and electronic instruments, skeletal and essential—no more than what you need to make it through. A brief collection of pieces performed by an ensemble of over a dozen that seems to have disassembled itself so as to be as hushful as possible.

We Were The Hum Of Dreams
by Offthesky & The Humble Bee

supported by 41 fans who also own “North”

Anything Jason Corder (Offthesky) touches has a golden glow...so imagine what you get if he teams up with Craig Tattersall (the humble bee) and you have pure magic. Corder's brilliance with the spatial aspects of a composition come into play, in contrast to- or harmony with- Tattersall's smoky, mysterious musings. For example, Rin Howell's vocals are right here, up front- whilst the rest is on different,faraway planes....Magical to say the least......ss/am editions vaché

What a great find. Subtle, but engaging compositions, each playing their own part, but extraordinair combined. Another example of the surprises you encounter when exploring french musicians....... PlayItLoud!
