New releases at sirr|ecords

October 26, 2004

The independent Portugese record label sirr:ecords run by Paulo Raposo has announced two new CDs:

“pieces of winter by john hudak and stephan mathieu” is based on one composition by each of the two sound artists. John Hudaks recordings for “winter garden” were based on a contact microphone buried overnight in snow that turned to ice then he recorded snow falling on this enveloping ice. The basic recordings for Stephan Mathieus “nuit blanche” were made on Christmas Eve 2002 with Eva-Lucy Mathieu on ocarina and himself on pump organ. Finally these original pieces were exchanged and transformed into a calm minimal suite of digital variations.

For “noli me legere – to maurice blanchot” seven sound artists created pieces inspired by the writings of Maurice Blanchot: Steve Roden Toshyia Tsunoda Brandon Labelle Stephen Vitiello Paulo Raposo Julien Ottavi Christof Migone.
