SUMMARY 1. NEW RELEASE 2. RECENT RELEASES 3. NEW FROM INFREQUENCY Header photo by Yann Novak 1. NEW RELEASE  BRITTLE STAR / YANN NOVAK | Long Distance Vol. 3de2011 | duration: 21:00 | format: 3" cd-r | edition: 100 | OUT NOW! Dragon's Eye Recordings is pleased to release the third installment in its 3" CD-R series, Long Distance. This volume features a collaboration between Yann Novak and Kev Rolfe (Brittle Stars). Recorded during Novak’s stay in Manchester, this installment of Long Distance continues the previous volumes theme of two artists that have never met collaborating in person. Beginning with a rippling mantra-like melody that slowly distorts into a complex and rhythmic play, the single track, “Melody to Maelstrom,” works to maintain the structure of the original melody. The slight hint of rhythm leads to a hypnotic state as the tones become more distorted; and eventually everything bleeds into complete abstraction. The piece comes full-circle in the end, commenting on the transition from simplicity to complexity, and back again. 2. RECENT RELEASES  STEVE PETERS | Filtered Light (chamber music 4)de5017 | duration: 60:00 | format: 5" cd-r | edition: 250 | OUT NOW! Calmly and majestically, structures of harmonics and deep resonance ripple and breathe, billow and ebb, contracting the space around the listener, while simultaneously revealing the majesty and splendour of the rooms they were culled from. Little themes form in the friction area between two frequencies, running ever so slightly out of sync and at different speeds, sparking tender melodies from the void. It is a music of great, unmeditated harmony, of structures forming constantly like icicles on a window pane. – Tobias Fischer, Tokafi "Cut as one track, leaving no room for us to further randomize the event, this is an absolute great piece of music. Very microsound of course, but things move around, change color, change shape and keep evolving throughout the course of the piece... Simply gorgeous. – Frans de Waard, Vital Weekly(The Netherlands)  MARC MANNING | A Skeleton, soon and then Foreverde5015 | duration: 50:30 | format: 5" cd-r | edition: 250 | OUT NOW! "Manning deploys a variety of compositional techniques, creating scrolls of delicacy, wispy tracts like “Not any time soon”, or “Not forever but for a long time”, with their dreamy, almost transcendental moods and shifts. For guitar experimentalists out there, don’t expect Fennesz’s influence here, as Manning uses the instrument in it’s purest form, unadulterated,and unaltered,a work of profound beauty, and stark simplicity." – Barry G Nichols, White_Line (UK) "Simple, lush, beautifully played guitar pieces with a lightly ambient touch which emphasises the nature of the room it was recorded in. Earthy, warm and fragile sounding there's an honesty here that will please your ears no end." – Mike Oliver, Smallfish(UK)  YANN NOVAK | In Residencede5014 | duration: 46:44 | format: 5" cd | edition: 250 | OUT NOW! "Novak creates a sense of distance by abstracting his source materials beyond recognition - whatever is going in is obscure, and far away. Hence the vague, rotorblading, respiratory effects of the first of these three tracks - the sound of systems ticking over, yet whose undulating motions are curiously involving." – David Stubbs, The Wire(UK) "Deep, dark, yet starkly beautiful, the works unfold slowly and surely using processed textures and sounds. The overall drone sound is magically realised and it won't take long before you're completely hokked into the work." – Mike Oliver, Smallfish(UK) 3.
