The new orphans album has been a long time coming. Recorded in early 2019, and having congealed, fermented, and matured, it is out Friday May 21st. The album continues Dom Barrett (guitar), Ben Greene (drums) and Dan O’Connor’s (trumpet) exploration of sound and texture, constantly alluding to vision and narrative. The record liner notes read:
The departure from, and return to a singular, innocuous point in time—without moving, without thinking, without duration.
orphans often craft a situation or imagined context for their recorded work in order to anchor the art, and perhaps provide a starting point for the listener. On acquiescence/coalescence the band consider the instantaneous and the possibility of perceiving time outside of its regular flow. The situation is captured in crayon by artist Holli Scott for the cover artwork and the music is best consumed in one sitting and via headphones.
The first track acquiescence is streaming now on Bandcamp. It hits all your favourite streaming sights on Friday, May 21st.
strata is the new video album from experimental vocalist Sage Pbbbt, working under the pseudonym digital penetration. Pbbbt pieces together this sonically rich, glitchy record from acoustic and electronic samples manipulated in Reaper, and accompanies the work with visual component created in the same fashion. The pace and repetition of the music allows the listener to shift between the audio strata and engage at different time scales over the album. Also outstanding is the variation between tracks which reveals some heavy drops and disorienting moments, ultimately feeding anticipation for whatever might happen next.
strata is out now on Tone List

strata will premiere in at the Audible Edge Festival 2021, April 17th, at Backlot Cinema
In the latest NotNotMusic Podcast Stuart Orchard discusses his new work for “interactive Aeolian Harp,” a DIY instrument that is activated by the wind and manipulated by the player.
You can find out a little more about the development of the Harp in Stuart’s Blog, derived from a research project at the West Australian Academy of Performing Arts. There is a rigorous description of the making of the harp, such that you could probably follow along and build one yourself!
After some research and experimentation with building Aeolian Harps, I found out that normally people don't fuck with them once they're singing in the wind. So, I figured I should. (Stuart Orchard, 2021)
Interactive Aeolian Harp - Whaler’s Tunnel was recorded by Josten Myburgh and mastered by Dan O’Connor @ENCODERSound.
The NotNotMusic Podcast series is the brain child of Josten Myburgh and Annika Moses and presents commissioned works and discussion around artistic practice and the commissioned pieces.
