Teague Ryan: Field Drawings [Vinyl LP]

Kenniff Keith: Branches [Vinyl LP]

"Colourfield" marks Dan Michaelson's first full length release as an instrumental artist and his debut on Village Green Recordings. Having found support on Elizabeth Alker's Radio 3 show Unclassified, who called it "sweeping, suspended, drone-like, but also precise", and Gilles Peterson's eclectic 6 Music show, "Colourfield" draws inspiration from such diverse artists as John Luther Adams, Spiritualized, Laurie Anderson, Brian Eno and Gavin Bryers. Working closely with violist and conductor Robert Ames and violinist Galya Bisengalieva, the result is a vast field of sound, as informed by texture and human intervention as it is by melody. "The hope is to be lost in it, to get to the other side with no memory of where you set out from."

Teague Ryan: Last Known Position [Vinyl 7"]

When electronic artist Ben Chatwin plugged his Moog synthesiser into the mains at home one day, he was surprised to find the electrics of his home faintly singing. His house was built in the nineteenth century, and what he was listening to was the building's natural hum. He boosted the volume, and in doing so, found the inspiration for his next release, The Hum, out on Village Green on November 6th . The Hum is Chatwin's sixth solo album of experimental electronic music under his own name and his eleventh in total. It amplifies the hidden frequencies that swirl invisibly around us in the air all the time but which most of us never hear, including the 50Hz hum of the power grid that producers will know all too well from the studio, but is almost undetectable to the human ear.
