meadowlands / m. sage


"Meadowlands / M. Sage exclusive split tape for the one and only Meditations in Japan. Meadowlands side is all sampler, elusive free jazz electronics, anxious new age and warped raga smoke. M. Sage side is a three parter, one is crackling R&B samples turned into a dull panic attack, two is rhodes and guitar recovery, three is scraping vinyl strings and frequency spray. this tape is now sold out... so download for free, because we would love you to listen, even if you can't own one of the 10 we made." patient sounds

m. sage


 "with Music For Interior Shadows, Fort Collins-based artist Matthew Sage focuses on what’s missing. while sonically inspired by the recent lost memories of The Caretaker, Sage’s real thread to pull came after visiting Dan Flavin’s light sculpture exhibit at the MoMA last month in New York City. He was particularly moved by the way it utilized the space between physical elements to create composition, not the light fixtures themselves he explains, but the shadows they cast. upon returning home, Sage dove into a stack of old records with the idea of finding minimal chunks of sound and turning them into absent compositions. what resulted is a pure and tragic, era-bending experience." stadiums & shrines

matthew sage, además de dirigir el sello patient sounds (meadowlands, nate henricks,...), edita su propia música como m. pyres o m. sage y, a veces, explora el mismo territorio emocional que the caretaker. todo lo que he escuchado hasta ahora merecería una entrada y una retahíla de adjetivos que hicieran justicia a tanta belleza, especialmente into the world ep y los orgánicos esbozos de chautauqua (loops) tape,  pero me gustaría que 'music for interiors', una pequeña maravilla, no quedara en el olvido.. notas susurradas más que tocadas, música etérea y abstracta tan sumamente evocadora creada a partir de canciones, retazos, ideas sacadas de discos antiguos, una fórmula mágica y para mí inagotable que, como leyland kirby, parece detener el tiempo a su alrededor mientras está sonando: el eco lejano de vinilos antiguos, violines, bailes de salón de los cincuenta, el delicado crujir del vinilo,... una debilidad personal
