for four double basses
*In process of stocking.* Minimalism is the keyword for the release from Bryan Eubanks. He composed work for four double basses, and Jonathan Heilbron, Mike Majkowski, Andrew Lafkas and Koen Nutters are the performers here. The score/concept is explained on the cover here; this is an excerpt: "[..] .....Each bass bows natural harmonics on one of the strings (I, II, III, IV), holding each note for the chosen duration and allowing a pause equal to half of this duration between each note. ..... All…
Panzer Constellations
*In process of stocking* The music of Panzer Constellations was the result of a single occasion - by the invitation of After Action Review - to record a duo of soprano saxophones for the wonderful acoustics available at the former Heeresbekleidungsamt, Bernau - now an expansive abandoned building.
Natural Realms
* Limited edition of 300 glass mastered CDs in gatefold card with arwork by Gwendolyn Lovequist. * "Recorded in one sitting in 2016, the four pieces of Natural Realms present a rather crude, yet elegantly networked system of musical logic combining natural harmonics, rhythm, and feedback. Ringing in increased zones with the shimmer and tempo of audible processes, Lopez and Eubanks assemble visions of a music both old and novel. Foreshadowing the sonic edifice of their 2019 collaboration Wave For…
Oceans Roar 1000 Drums
**300 copies** "After 10 years of making music together, Oceans Roar 1000 Drums is finally releasing a proper vinyl document of their work.

Recorded on a rainy day in the Summer of 2017 this album features the floating presence of Catherine Lamb's "secondary rainbow synthesizer", which is filtering both recordings of the band and envir…

fq
Although they have not previously recorded together, the pairing of Bryan Eubanks and Stéphane Rives makes perfect sense. French soprano saxophonist Rives is already a long-serving Potlatch veteran, with this being his fourth release on the label, following in the wake of his 2003 solo soprano album Fibres, the ground-breaking saxophone quartet Propagations (Potlatch, 2007) and his 2011 duo with the Paris-based Japanese percussionist Seijiro Murayama, Axiom for the Duration. As with the other sa…
Untitled #12 (After Agnes)
Untitled 12 (after agnes) takes it's title from a painting the American artist Agnes Martin made during her "gray" period in the 1980's. The work was completed in 1984. In this painting nothing in particular stands out, nothing garners any particular attention until one pauses and enters the painting. Even then, it takes some time, but a strong structure emerges once this time is taken. After that, it's hard to see the hazy grey painting, unusually loose grey washes overlaid with a thin horizont…
