February 29th, by Marcus Fischer + Ted Laderas

February 29th

On February 29th, we recorded a live performance that marks a new direction for our ongoing collaboration. We challenged ourselves with new approaches to instrumentation and performance. Ted stripped away his effects, going with just cello played with extended technique. Marcus set aside the guitar and instead used vibraphone as both a percussive and bowed instrument, layering and processing the sounds. The result is a dynamic, spacious, sometimes chaotic performance that is departure from the past but also feels like home.

All proceeds of February 29th will go to benefit Rose Haven shelter, a shelter and community center in Portland serving women, children and gender non-conforming folks experiencing trauma, poverty, and physical and mental health challenges.

lanterna | Ambient/Jazz/Post-Rock/Experimental | 87:04

This was my first mix:
Begun in 1999 (via cassette), revised in 2004 (CD) then in 2014  for its 15 year anniversary – digitally eclipsing the CD edition to 94+ minutes, ‘lanterna‘ (named after & wrapped around the classic album by Henry Frayne) was my first real (segued) mix, has earned numerous trades/requests, feedback from Henry Frayne himself…& has now been updated with new opening & closing tracks…(including a short composition from Pink Floyd’s The Endless River).

…a personal, ether/guitar-driven, ambient/experimental favorite that has held together over the years.

Update/ June 2019 (20 year anniversary):
Track 1 was swapped out for ‘What Floats Beneath’, by Michele Rabbia & Gianluca Petrella & Eivind Aarset (from Lost River; ECM, May 2019) – The guitar work on this track fits in perfectly with the aural themes of this project. Now, at long last, this mix has been officially stamped “Complete” by our dedicated engineering staff.

Music for Empty Rooms, by Lowered

We’ll definitely be using a track from this album on an upcoming mix/show . . . (stay tuned!)
_________________________________________________
As the fourth Lowered-album, Music For Empty Rooms has a more expanded sonic palette to include piano, cello, tam tam, singing bowls and room recordings. However it retains the bleakly ascetic sound of previous works.

Developing themes of existential isolation that were explored on debut Lost Seas , new album Music For Empty Rooms takes personal experience as subject matter. The ‘empty rooms’ reference Gowers’ move to a new house in a strange town following the death of his wife. As such it is a meditation on loss, dislocation and the silence of absence.
