Crafted with care: records we loved pressing 💛
KYLE DIXON & MICHAEL STEIN - MARCHE 22
“Marche 22” was recorded over a week at the Museo Del Synth Marchigiano in Macerata, Italy. The museum is filled with rare and obscure synths (especially CRB, GEM & Elka) as well as salvaged materials from a nearby shuttered Farfisa organ factory, including MARS, an unfinished realtime audio processing application developed by IRIS - similar to the now well known MAX/MSP.
Kyle Dixon and Michael Stein play a suite of pieces that encompasses the last sixty years of synthesizer music - there are nods to Cluster, Tangerine Dream, Jean Michel Jarre, and Morton Subotnick. Dixon and Stein are like jazz masters playing the American songbook with their own riffs and quotations. What shines through in these varied works that are sometimes rhythmic, sometimes melancholic, and sometimes both, is a soul, a spirit, an emotion vibrating through the tones like the charge of coming rain or the thrum of a distant train on the tracks.
Out on August 28 💥 Few copies will be available on the Mother Tongue webshop 🔗 Link in bio.
