fumi Posted August 7, 2021 Report Share Posted August 7, 2021 @Nebraska @joshuatxuk New from Pre-cert. Something much greater than the sum of its parts here, using a antique hand cranked Reginaphone - an archaic machine that plays both music box discs and 78s - to transport us into a crumbling, cassette dubbed wonderland. The pair explore the various anachronisms of the 100 year old family heirloom with results that are part sound art/sound poetry and part mechanical musical curio, delving into its cogs and wires with wonderfully time-out-of-joint effect springing fractured melodies and a drowsy oneiric ambience that gets under the skin. In five parts of fragmented melodic thought, plus a tremulous 13 minute coda, ‘Movements For Reginaphone’ modestly enchants to the horizontal, casting its magick in fairy dust sprinkles of music box melody and workshop detritus, with a rustling airiness that beautifully complements quieter listening spaces and mindsets, achieving a hazily nostalgic wooze that throws back to a barely plugged-in era, when one had to physically crank up their kit to get it working. https://boomkat.com/products/movements-for-reginaphone-cassette joshuatxuk and Nebraska 2 Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Hide fumi's signature Hide all signatures Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/101557-rick-myers-matt-krefting-movements-for-reginaphone-cassette/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshuatxuk Posted September 2, 2021 Report Share Posted September 2, 2021 I'll check this out, based on the description looks right up my alley. Also I meant to DM you about something @fumi - I feel like you wrote a book? Or at least wrote stuff on a blog - I'd like to ask more about that but I could be mistaken.
