Shelter - Eight Colliding Dancers LP
LP, 300 copies. comes in sturdy tip-on jacket
A collection of improvisational electronic mantras, premiered earlier this year on NTS, where Parisian artist Shelter explores odd meters, Indian-inspired drum cycles and expansive drone harmonics. It's a dreamed folklore, reminiscent of Hariprasad Chaurasia and Charanjit Singh's Eternity, John Hassel's fourth world or Craig Leon's Nommos. The LP blurs the line between organic and synthesis where drum machines melt into surreal harmonium textures and programming is indistinguishable from improvisation.
Recorded and mixed at home by Alan Briand in March and May 2022 with the assistance of Thomas Riguelle and Marguerite Vergne. Edited and compiled in August 2022.
Cutting by Jukka, Timmion Pressing. For digital release use mailorder.
