This is a record released by Methods Body, an experimental jazz duo from Portland, USA, on the state's electronic label Beacon Sound in June 2023.

Contains 2 experimental ambient jazz ~ strange beats songs using drums and electronics that were created over a period of 5 years in a studio in the forest. DL code included.

Below is an explanation by Pitchfolk.

"Methods Body's groundbreaking second album, Plural Not Possessive, is a fight against algorithms.

with John Niekrasz (drums, voice)Luke Wyland (keyboards, electronics, voice) creates musical and technical strategies that force us to break with old habits and patterns.Extrinsic song forms and standardized meters fall away.Time becomes a physical substance shaped to alter the listener's emotional experience.Wyland channels his lifelong stutter into the music of broken words.There's a lost language to this record, haunted by artifacts that the musicians can't explain.

with NiekraszWyland collaborated for more than two years in a studio in the woods, holding back the darkness at a time when being with others was impossible. Plural Not Possessive is a bold evolution of the ensemble's previous work, but it retains Methods Body's signature microtonality, eerie rhythms, world-building complexity, and unmistakable collaborative chemistry. I'm sure the fans will agree.

"Nothing feels fixed in Methods Body's music. This drum-and-electronics duo's debut album is as slippery as the deck of a boat in a storm: a muscular mix of strange time signatures. Rhythms, microtonal prepared piano riffs, and droning feedback all swing back and forth, collide, and shatter, resulting in a mix of free improvisation, minimal composition, and dance music. A distorted hybrid is born."

Text excerpt by Philip Sherburne for Pitchfork (link) via Beacon Sound:

"Methods Body's groundbreaking second record, Plural Not Possessive, is an opus against the algorithm—ranging from 22 seconds to 15 minutes in duration, these five tracks reveal lush ecosystems woven out of the duo's spontaneous compositions.

John Niekrasz (drums, voice) and Luke Wyland (keys, electronics, voice) create musical and technological strategies that force them to break old habits and patterns. Extrinsic song forms and standardized meters fall away. Time becomes a physical substance sculpted to alter the listener's emotional experience. Wyland channels his life-long stutter into a music of broken speech. There are lost languages in this record—it is haunted by artifacts the musicians can't explain.

Over two years, Niekrasz and Wyland worked together in their forest studio, staving off darkness at a time when it wasn't possible to be with others. Plural Not Possessive stands as a bracing evolution of the ensemble's previous work, but fans will still recognize Methods Body's hallmark microtonality, uncanny rhythms, world-building intricacy, and unmistakable collaborative chemistry.

"In Methods Body's music, nothing feels fixed in place. The drums-and-electronics duo's debut album is as slippery as the deck of a boat in a storm: Muscular rhythms in strange time signatures, microtonal prepared-piano riffs, droning feedback—they all careen back and forth, colliding, breaking into pieces. The result is a gnarled hybrid of free improv, minimalist composition, and dance music that advances in fits and starts, repetitive until it is not, knotty until it turns unexpectedly smooth."

This cassette was released in August 2023 by ambient artist Stefan Christoff from Montreal, Canada, on Beacon Sound, an all-genre label based in Portland, USA, in a limited edition of 8 copies.Contains two solo piano neoclassical ambient jazz pieces recorded in Sofia, Bulgaria, where he has visited many times. DL code included.Below is an explanation by the label. "In Sofia", recorded in Bulgaria in August 50, continues the dialogue with the world of composition and improvisational music within the context of solo piano. Taking cues from the Eastern European mysticism of GI Gurdjieff and the vast improvised solo concerts of Keith Jarrett, Stefan Christoff weaves tapestries of notes, giving listeners space to look within.Both suites unfold slowly, presenting the listener with a rich landscape. It's understandable, considering that even though Stefan Christoff was in unfamiliar territory, it has deep connections to his personal history. "In Sofia" is based on the musical sketches that the artist has cultivated over many years, and evokes an image of a place while reconsidering where one stands in the flow of time."Click here for other works on the label // /Click here to see...

Other gigs beckon. Life outside of making art takes precedence. It’s a reality that makes the continued existence and progression of Portland quintet Blue Cranes feel so momentous. The ensemble — saxophonists Reed Wallsmith and Joe Cunningham, drummer Ji Tanzer, keyboardist Rebecca\u003cspan class=\"bcTruncateMore\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Sanborn, and bassist Jon Shaw — has been working together in a variety of formats since 2004, creating a solid body of work that has connected them to both the traditional sounds and the future-minded artists of their chosen genre.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWhat has kept them together is strong personal and creative bonds. As a collective, their remit has always been to continually push their art further and further outside their comfort zones and to the edges of their abilities. It’s what fueled the group’s last album, 2021’s Voices, which found Blue Cranes recording for the first time with an assortment of vocalists (Laura Gibson, Edna Vazquez, Holland Andrews, Peter Broderick, Laura Veirs). And that desire to stretch even further beyond their previous work is at the heart of their new album My Only Secret. “I felt like I was getting in a rut, harmonically,” Wallsmith says. “I was trying to get out of that. To bring in more complexity and not do the same thing again.”\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTo that end, Wallsmith brought elements of twelve-tone and through-composition into his writing. “Semicircle” has an ever changing tonal center, while “Forward” keeps shifting and evolving in the manner of cloud formations being pushed along the sky. Cunningham, meanwhile, took on a nonlinear form of songwriting. “Gaviota” evokes the minimalist work of John Adams with its intertwining melodies and an extended coda that brings in some rattling percussion, the flute playing of John C. Savage, and the trombone of James Powers.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAnother major shift for the band was to change the way they recorded My Only Secret. Created during the height of the quarantine, Blue Cranes altered their usual way of recording out of necessity, tracking each part separately and in duets across the studio window in Wallsmith’s basement. . With some help from longtime cohorts Jason Powers and Todd Sickafoose, Wallsmith built the songs up using the individual components, usually adding Tanzer last in the process, because, he notes, “Ji is such an expressive player and is so in the moment, reacting to what’s happening. I felt like we’d lose all that otherwise.” Even with this temporal separation, says Cunningham, “it was like we were responding to each other. There was communication happening in the same space but at different times.

They feel every moment of every song deeply, something which colors every note they play. “We’re a good emotional band,” says Cunningham. “We can go to that place.” The beauty of My Only Secret, like all of the work Blue Cranes has produced to date, is that they want anyone and everyone to join them.\u003c\/span\u003e \"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eArtist : Blue Cranes\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLabel : Beacon Sound\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2023-12-18T11:57:51+09:00","created_at":"2023-11-23T14:54:16+09:00","vendor":"Tobira Records","type":"","tags":["beacon sound","jazz","lp","new"],"price":389000,"price_min":389000,"price_max":389000,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":44800624591098,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"Blue Cranes \/\/ My Only Secret LP [COLOR]","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":389000,"weight":430,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":"","requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[]}],"images":["\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/on1_e17ab5fa-07b9-4e43-8dcb-c0be716593da.jpg?v=1700718858","\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/on2_dd97aee3-ca6d-4094-b455-1526da2e7822.jpg?v=1700718858"],"featured_image":"\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/on1_e17ab5fa-07b9-4e43-8dcb-c0be716593da.jpg?v=1700718858","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":null,"id":32733909844218,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":700,"width":700,"src":"\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/on1_e17ab5fa-07b9-4e43-8dcb-c0be716593da.jpg?v=1700718858"},"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":700,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/on1_e17ab5fa-07b9-4e43-8dcb-c0be716593da.jpg?v=1700718858","width":700},{"alt":null,"id":32733909876986,"position":2,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.412,"height":850,"width":1200,"src":"\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/on2_dd97aee3-ca6d-4094-b455-1526da2e7822.jpg?v=1700718858"},"aspect_ratio":1.412,"height":850,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/on2_dd97aee3-ca6d-4094-b455-1526da2e7822.jpg?v=1700718858","width":1200}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eアメリカ・ポートランドの5人組ジャズバンドBlue Cranesが、2023年8月に同州エレクトロニックレーベルBeacon Soundからリリースしたレコードです。\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eフュージョン〜アンビエント・ジャズ〜スピリチュアル・ジャズ8曲を収録。DLコード付属。紫盤です。\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=510407255\/size=large\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=0687f5\/tracklist=false\/artwork=none\/transparent=true\/\" style=\"border: 0; width: 100%; height: 120px;\" seamless=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eレーベルその他作品は\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/tobirarecords.com\/collections\/beasou\"\u003eこちら\u003c\/a\u003e \/\/\/ Click \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/tobirarecords.com\/collections\/beasou\"\u003ehere\u003c\/a\u003e to see more Beacon Sound releases available at Tobira. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e----------------------------\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIncludes DL code.\u003cspan\u003e 12\" deep purple vinyl. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSloan 06:31\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSemicircle 04:17\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eForward 07:03\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGaviota 03:48\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRhododendron 06:17\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSandbox 04:22\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Night In Montavilla 03:20\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLonely Coyote 04:34\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e++\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBeacon Sound:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cem\u003eKeeping a band together, particularly among the mercurial community of jazz musicians, is no small feat. Other gigs beckon. Life outside of making art takes precedence. It’s a reality that makes the continued existence and progression of Portland quintet Blue Cranes feel so momentous. The ensemble — saxophonists Reed Wallsmith and Joe Cunningham, drummer Ji Tanzer, keyboardist Rebecca\u003cspan class=\"bcTruncateMore\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Sanborn, and bassist Jon Shaw — has been working together in a variety of formats since 2004, creating a solid body of work that has connected them to both the traditional sounds and the future-minded artists of their chosen genre.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWhat has kept them together is strong personal and creative bonds. As a collective, their remit has always been to continually push their art further and further outside their comfort zones and to the edges of their abilities. It’s what fueled the group’s last album, 2021’s Voices, which found Blue Cranes recording for the first time with an assortment of vocalists (Laura Gibson, Edna Vazquez, Holland Andrews, Peter Broderick, Laura Veirs). And that desire to stretch even further beyond their previous work is at the heart of their new album My Only Secret. “I felt like I was getting in a rut, harmonically,” Wallsmith says. “I was trying to get out of that. To bring in more complexity and not do the same thing again.”\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTo that end, Wallsmith brought elements of twelve-tone and through-composition into his writing. “Semicircle” has an ever changing tonal center, while “Forward” keeps shifting and evolving in the manner of cloud formations being pushed along the sky. Cunningham, meanwhile, took on a nonlinear form of songwriting. “Gaviota” evokes the minimalist work of John Adams with its intertwining melodies and an extended coda that brings in some rattling percussion, the flute playing of John C. Savage, and the trombone of James Powers.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAnother major shift for the band was to change the way they recorded My Only Secret. Created during the height of the quarantine, Blue Cranes altered their usual way of recording out of necessity, tracking each part separately and in duets across the studio window in Wallsmith’s basement. . With some help from longtime cohorts Jason Powers and Todd Sickafoose, Wallsmith built the songs up using the individual components, usually adding Tanzer last in the process, because, he notes, “Ji is such an expressive player and is so in the moment, reacting to what’s happening. I felt like we’d lose all that otherwise.” Even with this temporal separation, says Cunningham, “it was like we were responding to each other. There was communication happening in the same space but at different times. And somehow it sounds like we’re playing live in the same room.”\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWhat will always stay the same with Blue Cranes no matter how much they change as people, as players and as composers is the vibrant emotional core within the music they create.
