une histoire de bleu & to dye every night

 oiseaux003 / oiseaux004

* 2 new releases on invisible birds *

une histoire de bleu by mr. tomonari nozaki. abstract sound projections & melodies using destruction techniques discovered with reel to reel tape-loop splicings and other analogue romanticisms. mr. nozaki has beginnings in minimal techno and experimental music, and after a slight pause from music, has returned in 2012 with some transcendental experimentations into the rarely visited places of "liminality" and "the sublime".

to dye every night by mr. thomas bel. rain, voice, guitar and reverse romanticisms. presented with a deceptively simplistic language, minimalistic, yet sublimely scuttling across the floors of silent seas. perhaps yearning for love and cruelty, a slowly growing blindness, impossible memory.

(as borges described it)

handmade numbered editions of 100, with  a tipped in plate and booklet.

the dark wood of error

matthew swiezynski  the dark wood of error  2013

mono recording of juno keyboard, made stereo with an editing devise

fender jazzmaster added for ambiance toward the end (with the presence of mr. z)

title from dante alighieri's inferno

taken from my trusty copy of the the modern library's john ciardi translation, canto i, 1965

the black beast

the black goat of the woods with a thousand young
the black ram of the forest with a thousand ewes
the black rabbit of the warren with a thousand spies
the black otter of sea with a thousand wakes

(sounds like dirt xvi) i still can't remember how or where i lost my way

he came dancing across the water
with his galleons and guns
looking for the new world
in that palace in the sun.

on the shore lay montezuma
with his coca leaves and pearls
in his halls he often wondered
with the secrets of the world.

and his subjects
gathered 'round him
like the leaves around a tree
in their clothes of many colors
for the angry gods to see.

and the women all were beautiful
and the men stood
straight and strong
they offered life in sacrifice
so that others could go on.

hate was just a legend
war was never known
the people worked together
and they lifted many stones.

they carried them
to the flatlands
and they died along the way
but they built up
with their bare hands
what we still can't do today.

and i know she's living there
and she loves me to this day
i still can't remember how
or where i lost my way.

he came dancing across the water
cortez, cortez
what a killer.

(sounds like dirt xv)

up, up, up and down
turn, turn, turn around
round, round, round about
and over again

gun, gun, son of a gun
you are the only one
makes any difference to what i say

the sun shines in the bedroom
when we play
the raining always stars
when you go away

(sounds like dirt xiv) the sky is breaking

stay tonight
we'll watch the full moon rising
hold on tight
the sky is breaking

i don't ever want to be alone
with all my darkest dreaming
hold me close
the sky is breaking

i don't ever want to be alone
with all my darkest dreaming
hold me close
the sky is breaking

invisible birds - lenz, as from a distance / distant (forthcoming)

stan brakhage - unconscious london strata - 1982

strata refers to deeper and deeper layers of consciousness, those far removed from ordinary language and daily life. the images combine musically, while shape and light are often inseparable; streaming light becomes an ever-changing form. (fred camper)

currently on sabbatical from the art of memory to record an lp with arthur de eriomém in his beautiful library casa di memoria
this album is dedicated to 2 of mr. de eriomém's most beloved artists:
krzysztof penderecki & georg büchner
and to the idea of lontano (as from a distance / distant) *

here is a rough version of the first track, please send email to reserve copy or general questions *
