"Paris-born, New England-raised, long-time Chicago-residing Makaya McCraven has been at the forefront of genre-redefining movements in jazz since 2015….McCraven defies the simplifications of revisionism & regionalism while celebrating the sounds, settings & stories that define the provenance of his work. Universal Beings projects an all-encompassing message of unity, peace & power by embracing transcendence in all its expressions."
"Writing for WQXR, James Bennett II commented: "listening to Eternity feels like one is putting in effortless meditative work... Across these six tracks there is a unifying theme: the journey... Each piece is trying to find itself — the music isn't wandering because it's lost. Coltrane has acted with intention, urging each musical element towards discovery so that it may find what it really is, and soundly rest in the security of that knowledge."
"A blur of indefinite energy. An ecstatic dance dissolving the corrupted fabric of causality, invoking singularity, bleeding at the edges." From Vienna.
“Formen is a musician and sound designer based in Biel/Bienne. He explores glitch aesthetics and electroacoustic soundscapes through unorthodox and experimental production techniques. ... The arrangements of the tracks stand out due to their often generative-randomized character: The rhythms, harmonies and melodies are randomly evolving inside of the confines that were set for each track. This is a technique that Formen primarily uses for electro-acoustic art installations. Consequently Formen incorporates the analog technique of live-dubbing into the aesthetics of digital noise, thus creating a musical field of tension between heavy rhythms and distorted noises.” +another mutated excerpt from a zen meditation podcast.
"Deux Filles were Simon Fisher Turner, former child star/teen idol and future soundtrack composer, and his mate Colin Lloyd Tucker. Turner and Tucker left an early incarnation of The The in 1981 to pursue another musical direction. Turner claims that the idea of Deux Filles came to him in a dream, and he and Tucker strictly maintained the fiction throughout the duo's career. Not only did they pose in drag for the album covers, the duo once even played live without the audience realizing that the tragic French girls on-stage were actually a pair of blokes from south London. Deux Filles released two albums through Turner and Tucker's Papier Mache label, 1982's 'Silence & Wisdom' and 1983's 'Double Happiness.' [Remastered versions released in 2021]"
