Following the success of theirTape Works, Vol. 1and subsequentTapeReworks, Vol. 1(which featured remixes by Jim O'Rourke and Group A), this EP presentstwo remixes of tracks fromTape Works, Vol. 2:'Movable Fields', remixed by Kara-LisCoverdale, and 'Nachholbedürfnis', remixed by Beatriz Ferreyra. Kara-Lis Coverdale's 'Movable Fields' is an icy soundscape, gently moving at a glacial pace, evoking the feel of a field recording from a strange planet. 'Movable Fields' draws from elements of twoTape Works, Vol. 2tracks, 'Accarezzo' and 'Terminal Voltage Traces'. Ferreyra's remix of 'Nachholbedürfnis' is a dadaist cacophony of bleeps and lo-fi scratchy samples, darting chaotically throughout the track in true GRM fashion. The original album utilizedrecordings made in specific locations, particularly brutalist buildings, as an audiomanifestation of modernism.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nonclassical","offers":[{"title":"Black 7\" - 2183172","offer_id":50407512375627,"sku":"2183172","price":10.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/test_3841b6d0_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1726598687"},{"product_id":"six-hands-at-an-open-door","title":"Six Hands At An Open Door","description":"\u003cp\u003ePersistence of Sound presents a new release from Langham Research Centre and John Butcher. Langham Research Centre work as a quartet, a trio or as a duet to make experimental music using resources and ideas that, until recently, were considered obsolete, redundant and outdated. In this recording, Iain Chambers and Robert Worby use cassette machines, oscillators, shortwave radio and amplified small sounds to improvise with John Butcher.  John Butcher is well known as a saxophonist who attempts to engage with the uniqueness of time and place. His music ranges through improvisation, his own compositions, multi-tracked works and explorations with feedback and extreme acoustics. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e For many years Langham Research Centre have been performing indeterminate music by John Cage, Christian Wolff and others. Their own works have developed ideas from this experimental tradition as well as musique concrète and post-war European electronic music. During rehearsals they often spend time improvising, galvanised and encouraged by groups like AMM and MEV. John has been improvising for decades but has always had an interest in electronic music and the works of post-war Modernist composers.  In the context of this release he thinks of his performance as similar to tape-splicing, so that a direct tactile connection is made between the concrète\/electronic soundworld and the unparalleled acoustic qualities of the saxophone produced when he is playing. Boundless, outspread and utterly unique. Persistence of Sound was founded in 2019 by composer Iain Chambers. Its releases span electroacoustic music, field recordings, and the unclassifiable music between these genres.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Persistence of Sound","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":50468339253579,"sku":"2009476","price":13.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/unnamed_5736f97d_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727347081"},{"product_id":"tape-works-vol-2","title":"Tape Works, Vol. 2","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eTape Works Vol. 2\u003c\/i\u003e is the second album from the UK's leading musique concrète ensemble, Langham Research Centre, on Nonclassical.
