TWO AMBIENT FUGUE MP3S
The sounds are just select enough, just refined enough, just stretched-to-near-breaking enough to seep into the background. The music presents a dreamstate of melodic progression, each note held until it seems to make a move from one ear to the next, passing like scenes outside the window as you make your way across the country by car. These are “Absence” and “The Big Empty,” the two tracks that comprise Dissociative Fugue, the new free release by I’ve

I’m always happy to hear about new labels and the music that each brings, and I was particularly happy to hear that my buddy John Koch-Northrup of Interstitial was starting a new label called Relaxed Machinery (check it out at http://relaxedmachinery.com/). Not only has John come up with a really fair and sensible business model for label work, he’s also got really great taste so I have every expectation that he’s going to put out some great music. Certainly the first release, “Circular Scriptures” by Steve Brand lives up to and surpasses all my expectations with the label. I was

Steve Brand, Circular Scriptures
In the first release on the new Relaxed Machinery label, Steve Brand offers up a suite of three long-form pieces in a classic abstract style. His tones and layers are cold and deeply packed, a constant and inescapable cold wind of sound peppered with slight alien-tech underpinnings. With each piece clocking in at 20 minutes plus, Brand expertly uses the time to build and deconstruct, over and over, each new form rising as a mutation of the one prior, an endlessly shifting thoughtform. Circular Scriptures hovers on the edge of being quite dark, but Brand’s drones impart
