TOMOKO SAUVAGE
Tomoko Sauvage, a Japanese musician/sound artist based in Paris, works with waterbowls, porcelain bowls of different sizes, filled with water and amplified with hydrophones (under-water microphones). She plays with different forms of water – drops, waves and bubbles resonating in the bowls as well as audio feedback creating waving drones and natural overtones. Her work is about the delicate balance between controlled and uncontrolled, the random percussion of droplets, acoustic characteristics of the space and the fragile tonality created with the fluid materials constantly evaporating and moving. Sauvage has been performing, exhibiting and carrying out workshops in Europe, US, Canada and Japan, often solo but also in collaboration with musicians and choreographers. Her works have been released by and/OAR (US), aposiopèse (BE), dokidoki editions (FR). In 2011, a new set of porcelain bowls was created during her residency at La Pommerie (FR) in collaboration with Ceramic Research Center in Limoges (CRAFT).

Tor Press has released five beautiful new recordings from the likes of:
Aqua Dentata
Aqua Dentata is the solo project of Eddie Nutall, here he creates immersive minimal drones using synthesizers, violin and zither. The simplicity and consideration in Eddie’s work draws you in and cloaks you in delicately shifting tones. There’s a lot more to these tracks than is first apparaent, this is music that begs you to pay close attention and discover every subtle overtone. A thing of delicate beauty which belies its appearance of simplicity.
Ulrich Rios
Better known under the moniker Bird People, this is the first album from Ulrich under his own name. The album is completely acoustic and is predominantly banjo picking tunes that wouldn’t be far out of place at an old time jam in Appalachia, sandwiched between the banjo tunes are subtle drones on shruti, gong and singing bowl.
Here’s what Ulrich has to say about it- ‘These recordings were inspired by the two places where I have lived so far, my hometown of Waidhofen, which lies along the Ybbs river in the province of Lower Austria and Vienna’s Meidling District, specifically the Gaudenzdorf area along Vienna’s main road called the ‘Belt’. All tracks were recorded live with no overdubs and often with the windows open to allow the environmental sounds to seep in and become part of the music.’

I am playing on the one above, and also this one below…this is a trio that I am part of with two people named Niko. We started to play together two summers ago in Turku, Finland, and here is the mountainous result:
Orange Hora
Mountainous Interior
Cassette
Orange Hora is a new project from Niko-Matti Ahti (Kiila), Jorge Boehringer (Core of the Coalman) and Niko Karlsson. Sputtering broken electroinc sounds, frantic percussive textures, plucked and bowed strings. At times this could be quite a disconcerting listen but there’s always a thread of something recognicable drawing you through the distorted eruptions and fractures. Any rasping, jarring sounds are counterbalanced by subtlety and nuance.
