Next up, an album that combines subtle clangourous soundscapes with classic
rhythmically driven minimalist structure. The result is a fascinating listen
that I would genuinely be surprised if anyone has achieved before. Info Here , Excerpts here:
Yesterday I had the exciting news that the
LPs were in and ready to be shipped. With luck, this means I'll be
able to start sending out pre-orders as of beginning of next week so now's the time to check this one out, as interest is high and I expect it to
fly.
New Release - Stephen Christopher Stamper -
Begin Anywhere
It’s always a pleasure after working on a
project for long time to finally release the results and this is no
exception. When you listen to “Begin Anywhere” there are certain tracks that
will blow you away with little effort from the listener. For me it was “a
sailors life” which provokes an sense of awe, like a star filled sky. Echoes
of that track resonate throughout the work rather like microwave background
radiation from the big bang. The lovely and ingenious “Cantus in Memoriam”
is another beautiful piece. Other tracks are darker, more dissonant and take
a little time to get into but these are the ones that will grow on you with
repeated listens. Enjoy!
New Release - Daniel W J Mackenzie -
'Return Written Arrange'
I’m really pleased to announce the
release of this superb piece of work by Dan Mackenzie. Dan is already
well known for his improvisational music under the name Ekca Liena. In this
album he takes a more compositional line, exploring minimalism, aleatory and
the Fibonacci sequence, the results being extremely effective and emotive
music, at time touching on the intimacy you might find in a Thomas Newman score.
I hope you enjoy this as much as I’ve enjoyed working on the release.
In an attempt to stir up
the usual round of Gilbert & Sullivan, touring Shakespeare and Am-Dram (all
very good I’m sure), Runningonair Music will be holding a concert/film show
of experimental music and video. This will be the first of what I hope will
become a regular event, so if you’re in the area (or even if your not)
please come along and show your support.
This will be an evening
of firsts, with new live sets from both Ekca Liena and Venona Pers as well
as the premier screening of “Ecliptic Plane” by Joe Evans. There will also
be a selection of CDs and DVDs by the artists available for sale at reduced
cost.
Music aside, the venue
is the Hyde Tavern which is a very interesting little real ale pub a short
walk from Winchester station. Well worth a visit at any time. More info
here. It is small though, so best to book ahead.

Guy Birkin - Symmetry-Breaking - Release
11-07-11
It's been a long time coming but I can
finally announce the release date to be 11/07/2011. There's a great
deal that can be said about this work and you can find more information
about it here. All I'll say in this space, is that Guy has produced
some of the most interesting music I've heard over the last couple of years,
which is why I'm very pleased that he has agreed to release his debut
through Runningonair Music. I'll upload a selection of sound clips
shortly but until then this is one to watch!
Generally speaking, there appears to be
limited interest around anything older than about 6 months, which is why I'm
pleased that over the last month or so there have been a number of very
positive reviews of this release. If you're still in doubt as to
whether it's worth the investment check these for a second opinion.
As everyone is on the look out for
cheap presents and I need to clear a bit of space, there will be a 50% off
sale on all older disk releases (RM001–3).
RM001 – Out of Process - £2.99 -
CD
RM002 - Systems out of Chance - £3.99 – CD-R/DVD-R
RM003 – Click Continue - £1.99 – CD-R - EP
That’s got be worth a punt for anyone hovering on the edge. I’ll also
combine postage.
