Hisvoice review A Concise Dictionary of Plants and Their Uses
Thanks are due to Tomáš Procházka who has listened to and pondered Sub Loam's latest and has written a thoughtful and sympathetic review in the excellent Czech magazine hisvoice:
Jedná se v podstatě o EP o třech skladbách se shouhrnnou délkou necelých šestnáct minut, tak aby se pohodlně vešly na třípalcové CDr, na kterém vychází spolu s autorskou grafikou Thomase Shrubsola v počtu čtyřiceti kusů.
Hudba byla nahrána na čtyřstopý kazetový magnetofon a jde, jak ostatně název napovídá, o poctu rostlinnému světu a životu. Jednotlivé skladby označené pouze čísly, jsou věnovány půdě, slunci a rostlinným vláknům.
Pokud si nepřečte legendu, která se k nahrávce váže, může být leckterý posluchač zklamán, hudba zní jako jaksi divně úporný minimalismus, saxofon má škytavku a štěká na jednom místě jako opuštěný pták v polích, zajímavé elektronické zvuky za ním nejsou pro změnu téměř slyšet. V druhém tracku má zase šum pásku téměř stejnou důležitost jako užitečný hudební záznam a v pozadí diktuje nějaký lunatický varhaník do kláves náhodná data. Ani třetí track nevysvobodí posluchače z chaotických chuchvalců mimozemského jazzu, bloumavé melodie saxofonu se proplétají s vyťukávanýmy klávesovými zvuky a trochu archaicky znějící elektronikou.
Pokud ale posloucháme A Concise Dictionary of Plants and Their Uses s vědomím, že jde o umělecký obraz “chlorocentrického” světa, nalézáme zajímavý amorfní hudební tvar, poměrně výstižně přibližující představu rostlinných světů, klíčení, rašení, rhizomatické spoje, tlení, vznik i zánik probíhající v jediný moment. V tomto vesmíru nic nemá přednost, vše pracuje v součinnosti s ostatními elementy, tomuto světu je efektní čištění za účelem přehlednosti či ušlechtilosti. Toto je hudba permakultury - cenný pokus připomenout pyšné lidské kultuře existenci i jiných vesmírů, než toho, ve kterém aktuálně žijeme. Přál bych si aby takových pokusů bylo víc.

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.
