On Piano Works I, Anton Belov’s first album released under his own name, is a nostalgic journey through experimental piano compositions, bathed in electronic ambience. Fans of Anton’s Kiev-based band KAUAN might find something familiar in Piano Works I, as the songs within are reimaginings of motifs pulled from the band’s catalogue. It’s a focus on this edition of the program.

Bionulor is a one-man music project founded in 2006 by the Polish actor and educationist Sebastian Banaszczyk using his own working method named “100% sound recycling”. This means that every track is created solely on the basis of processing only one sample deriving of a specially selected source sound, without any additional sounds or instruments.

Inspired by the hours spent on travelling on tour and all the isolated landscapes he encountered, Canadian composer Cédric D. Lavoie’s 88 was composed on the piano with bowed and plucked upright basses, some discrete percussion and sound effects.  88 is Cédric D. Lavoie’s first album for Preserved Sound and our featured work on this edition of the Quiet Space. As well the excellent new Yamaneko release on Longform Editions plus Panoptique Electrical, Ben Chatwin and more….

James Murray is a composer specialising in minimal electronic and electroacoustic music. His recordings have been issued by respected labels worldwide since 2004 and often have strong conceptual themes inviting personal or emotional reflection. Our focus is on his most recent release, Landscape of Lovers. Romantic music can fall into saccharine, soppy, and sickly-sweet traps, but on this release Murray eschews and avoids these dangerous tropes, instead honing in on and finding the essence of love, and of what it means to love.

‘The License to Interpret Dreams’, is an intensely focussed dreamworld produced by Antonymes aka Ian Hazeldine. his music emerges from the adjustments and erasures where music expresses nothing but itself, from the relationship between continuity and repetition rather than of contract and interplay. On top of that he is an absolute top bloke. Our feature album for this episode first became available in 2010; it didn’t really sound like it belonged in that year, at the time or now, too ancient seeming, too abstract, too intimate, too damned heart breaking! This edition features some stellar musicians reinterpreting Antonymes dreams. Essential.
