about

Originally released by Infrequency Editions in 2003, Snowfield represents one of the earliest collaborative recordings of Drouin & Olsen. Conceived for a sound installation of the same name at The Folly Gallery (Lancaster, UK)*, Snowfield used a remote snow-covered landscape in British Columbia measuring the same dimensions as the gallery exhibition room. All sounds were derived from interacting within this zone, which were then played back on a quadraphonic system within the otherwise empty gallery later that year.

*The Folly Gallery sound installation was curated by Lora Carroll

Sentimental Something
by PINKCOURTESYPHONE

supported by 4 fans who also own “Snowfield”

Diving deeper and deeper into the imperceptible decay of his hometown Los Angeles, Pinkcourtesyphone creates in his latest release a subtle passive-aggressive dynamic thanks to ever-changing circular harmonics and gloomy drones impinging the dark ambient fields. More melancholic and bleak than ever, Richard Chartier deconstructs unrecognizable sound stems parsimoniously but never excessively, offering an album of hazy evocations as much as an album of sound patience.
