O’Rourke’s process — sourcing resonant sounds to be enmeshed together into a music that supersedes their resident parts — makes a fitting soundtrack for Kyle Armstrong’s “prairie gothic” tale of down-on-the-farm horror way up north in Canada. His minimalist score inhabits the wide open, big sky landscape, flowing into suddenly-deep (and opaque) emotional waters, then panning out to a chilly omniscient remove.

One of our First releases is “sleep like it’s winter” by Jim O’Rourke. Some may know his music from his albums on Drag City like his “Simple Songs” of 2015, or from his work as a producer for many varied artists. Even those who follow his music closely may be looking for a route that passes through his past works like “The Visitor” or “I’m happy and I’m Singing and a 1,2,3,4” that would lead them to this new chapter.

No matter which route you take, “sleep like it’s winter” occupies its own space, a miniature curio cabinet that brings together his music throughout the years: synthesizer, pedal steel, piano and shortwave radio are his only tools this time, but it touches on all times and places, but most importantly, on now.

Covering a vast terrain with delicacy and poise this new release unveils a spectral showcase for all manner of deep abstraction. The first side positions itself somewhere between stoned komische synth and more nuanced electroacoustic tactics, all weighted by a melancholic undertow. The second side builds on the tension of the former as an undulating drone teases all variety of matter to rise and fall amongst the foreign space it inhabits.

Timely outing from two grand masters of exploratory electronics. Kassel Jaeger is the moniker of French musician François Bonnet who works at the GRM and has released a number of books including the highly regarded The Order of Sounds, A Sonorous Archipelago published by Urbanomic in 2016. Jim O’Rourke is known to most through his explorations of the song and shapes, the high and low, the east and south.

Wakes on Cerulean is a joint adventure where process folds upon process and the operation of procedure remains unknown. Amongst a mysterious cloud of excited high frequencies tiny whistling howls. Frog leaps in technique lay out a thrilling and uplifting journey that runs from the soothing to ecstatic and back to the buoyant again.

Wakes on Cerulean is a staggering feast of the joys found in electronic process. A malleable bubble of hovering excitement, melody and joyous refrain.
