SPACE CAPSULE

New Release

SPACE CAPSULE 



Space Capsule is the new work of Thomas Shrubsole on his own Dissolving imprint. Space Capsule sees the initiation of a series which will continue with collaborations and contributions from different friends and colleagues from the UK (and beyond) sub-underground.   

With acoustic and electro-mechanical instruments (soprano saxophone, piano, electric piano) aided by rudimentary electronics Space Capsule holds a diurnal séance montaging the domestic and the cosmic in a surprising and free blend. Meshes of the afternoon diffusing a clear light and cubic languor alert acoustic mediation, free electric sound.

Underground domestic production methods, cosmo-alien meditational multi-planar observation input multiplied with outdated technology and printed to tape. A wooden figure viewed through a prism. The windows of the room open to the afternoon light. Alternate probability paths viewed together from further down the time stream, physical fidelities and hands-on electro-acoustic free playing.

Intuitive thought, multiplied on a vertical time axis. Above, an acoustic spacecraft is suspended, silent, permeable, diaphanous, held up by breath and expansive thought.

Space Capsule is limited to 50 hand numbered copies. It comes with a card booklet and an A3 poster riso-printed with an original artwork by Thomas.

Ruderal Memory now out @ Boomkat.com

Sub Loam's limited edition Ruderal Memory album is now available from Boomkat:

http://boomkat.com/cds/700917-sub-loam-ruderal-memory

" Ghostly, longform electro-acoustic invocation from Sub Loam, the character also known as Thomas Shrubsole and Jesus On Mars. Via soprano saxophone fed through multi-cassette, twin-reel-to-reel set up, 'Ruderal Memory' manifests 45 minutes of seancé-like atmosphere with patiently unfolding arrangement informed by yoga breathing techniques and conducted from an anti-anthropocentric stance in key with Sub Loam's themes of elemental interplay and chlorophyllic consciousness. Aesthetically we're reminded of Robin The Fog's spectral experiments on 'The Ghosts Of Bush' or the quivering microtones yielded in William Basinski's 'Disintegration Loops', yet as with all of Shrubsole's output, there's a deeply individual spirit at work, following his own quiet path to personal enlightenment.

Vernal Equinox Update ... Ruderal Memory by Sub Loam - Out now!


Green stirrings and the resting, momentarily balanced forces of the equinox. We are pleased at this auspicious and special time to announce the return of Sub Loam with a new piece, the 45 minute, one-track album Ruderal Memory.

Generated with soprano saxophone and a multi-cassette, twin reel-to-reel set up this is a music of slow unfolding, accretion, prismatic disassembling and dissolution and eventual synthesis leading to transformation and (RELEASE).

Organically investigating the interface, symbolised and exemplified by breath mediated through the saxophone, of the interior and exterior and its union (YOGA).

The CDr is limited to a numbered run of 50 and comes in a hand-stamped heavy recycled card 7" folder in a poly bag. Each package contains a card wallet holding the CDr and an individual art insert, every artwork being a unique design and combination of forms within a defined set of parameters, similar in approach to the music, taking as a starting point the symbolism and geometry of Sri Yantra.

Microtones, tape-manipulation and saxophones; ink, water and lines, all focussed through Sub Loam's themes of elemental interplay and chlorophyllic consciousness.

Music mixed in one continuous take live in the studio for your pleasure and utility.
