Subject: Ephre Imprint Releases March 2011

Hello everyone, just a short note to announce the two new Ephre Imprint
releases for March 2011.

+ [EPH08] NIGEL SAMWAYS - NINE BARROW DOWN [EP]

Plundering sampled material from two eminent and quintessentially English
composers of differing creed and reworking with his own performances, this
EP relates to a teenage experience of potentially baffling and unexplained
origins whilst alone at night in the Dorset countryside.

This follows on from Samways' 2010 releases on Ephre of 'Silver Rain, Green
Trees' and 'Poor Henrietta Marie'.

+ [EPH07] COEVAL / MIGUEL A.GARCIA / MIGUEL PRADO - TIRASSE [EP]

Ephre presents a challenging new work by a Spanish improvising ensemble of
Miguel A Garcia, Miguel Prado and Juan Carlos Blancas (Coeval). Fizzing
drones merge with field recordings and live instrumentation to create a
luminous sonic landscape that moves through some intriguing passages, still
turning up some twists and surprises.

Together they have previous releases across labels such as Co-V, Matricum,
Alg-A, Homophoni, Zeromoon etc.

COEVAL, MIGUEL A. GARCIA AND MIGUEL PRADO - TIRASSE (CDR by Ephre Imprint)
NIGEL SAMWAYS - NINE BARROW DOWN (CDR by Ephre Imprint)


Music of the members  of the Spanish improvising ensemble consisting of
Coeval (Juan Carlos Blancas), Miguel A. Garcia and Miguel Prado have been
reviewed several times at Vital. ” Tirasse” is a 21 minutes long piece which
is released at the English label Ephre Imprint. The mix between
fieldrecordings, electronics and guitar is a great combination and the music
develops really slow. In slow-motion sounds of nature and soft electronic
sounds melt together and carefully played guitarstrings complete the sound.
In one moment a harsh bleep disturbs the quiet atmosphere and the trio
started to play louder and with more harsh sounds. But still they do not get
wild and the quietness and control is tangible. The tracks ends as it
started, just some ongoing sounds, calm and with tension. A great
electro-acoustic piece of music.

Same length, but with a totally different approximation of sound is the
piece of Nigel Samways. This English sound artist takes the listener to a
dreamy world on his third release at Ephre Imprint. “Nine Barrow Down”
starts with a beautiful voice saying/singing something surrounded by
mysterious wide dark sounds. This piece of music is coming back several
times at the E.P. Music has been played on acoustic and electronic
instruments with a lot of echo and reverb. It seemed that two pieces of
music vary each other and in this variations the music becomes more and more
sinister. This sinister mood fits really well by the cover which shows us a
green field with a white form like a human-being which is moving on the
grass, but also is integrated with the blades of grass. The music have
connections with reality, but the combination, editing and setting of the
tones, rhythm and sounds makes as if the music is created somewhere down in
the earth with some holes to the sky. Highly recommended piece of
experimental work. (JKH)
