William Basinksi – A Shadow In Time (2062, 2017)

Chris — Tue, 24 Jan 2017 19:07:06 +0000

Death is a spectre that makes itself known in many of Basinski’s works; it’s an inevitable side effect of the entropic tape loops he plays with so frequently, inherently futile in their reductions as they are. Complex essences are distilled into short bars whose value is only given power when stretched across many minutes of […]

Federico Durand – Jardín de invierno (SPEKK, 2016)

Durand’s “Winter Garden”, though recorded in the past, is set in a world just a few months away from now; Autumn is here in full force but it won’t be long before we return to the season that is spelled out with such longing here. Unlike the dreamy reminiscences of A Través Del Espejo found earlier this year, Jardín de […]

Valentine’s Day every year naturally incites the production of inevitably romantic, often sanguine, creations and Coppola is another to fall into its annual trappings; across fourteen pieces in Beloved he spins light drones and tape loops all lost in a mist of reverb after posing a simple question in the liner: “Do you think of me as often […]

Durand’s latest output entitled Through The Mirror is more telling than meets the eye; caught in the faintness of his effortlessly organic instrumental tumblings and tape looped pleasantry is a younger man peering back through the glass, a reflection chronologically displaced and unreachable despite our yearnings. Through these Mediterranean twinklings we get a sense of […]

Celer – How Could You Believe Me When I Said I Loved You When You Know I’ve Been A Liar All My Life? (White Paddy Mountain/Two Acorns, 2015)

I’ve had some mouthfuls of album titles on HearFeel before but this new record from Celer by far trumps them all; it isn’t made up either, taking its namesake from the lyrics of a Fred Astaire song in the Fifties called, you guessed it, “How Could You Believe Me”. Elongate titles aside, this is a […]
