"Languoria is a collaboration between Denmark's Sofie Birch and Poland's Antonina Nowacka. While Birch describes herself as an ambient musician, Nowacka's primary instrument is her own voice; they share in common a facility for creating complex, layered work.

Birch and Nowacka were first brought together by Unsound to perform at Ephemera Festival in Warsaw as part of a durational overnight performance. Entirely improvised, the music already felt coherent, with Nowacka's voice weaving effortlessly through Birch's ambient soundscapes and field recordings, indicating an immediate, deep connection, a meeting of kindred spirits. The artists were reunited at Unsound Kraków to perform a morning show at a 19th-century synagogue. Here, the music took clearer shape, and the audience glimpsed the birth of works that would eventually take the form of individual tracks on Languoria.

This past winter, the two artists met in Copenhagen to record the album, completing 11 compositions that feel sacred, almost devotional in character. Fusing the melodicism and gentleness of Birch's sound practice and the abstract, spiritual vocalisations of Nowacka, the album alludes to the wonders of the natural world while also turning its gaze inwards., every small decision was very important, and that's why such simple compositions can hold so much complexity and depth,” Sofie Birch says of their time in Copenhagen together. Together, these artists have uncovered a new dimension of their respective practices, creating music that is difficult to categorize, otherworldly, yet strangely comforting. "

Concerts were organized in galleries, people listened with interest to emerging bands and new musical directions were followed. In this period, there was a growing interest in alternative art, and Richter Band, one of the leading alternative bands operating in the borders between ambient, new age and meditative music, was in its accession. After years of modest gigging in the late 80s, interest in seeing them perform live began to increase and the band started to tour not just the Czech regions but also ventured abroad.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan class=\"lightweightBreak\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAt the same time, Jaroslav Kořán, a fiddlerophone and percussion player, left the group and began to experiment with his own music. With him, he brought a range of musical experience from playing in the alternative rock group, Vyšší Populár, and the ambient outfit, Richter Band, as well as building and playing hand-made instruments. The fidlerophone, a unique instrument assembled using aluminium pots and mounted on sprung stands, formed the characteristic sound of Richter Band when played in unison with the subtle sounds of Pavel Richter’s electric guitar, and would later inspire Jaroslav to experiment in creating his own instruments.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan class=\"lightweightBreak\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlthough he already owned a sampler and played the piano, as a drummer, he was constantly seeking new percussive instruments and sounds, ranging from water glasses and pots to porcelain plates and salad bowls. In the summer of 1990, he experimented with nails hammered into wood in Šumava, a national park in the South Bohemian regions of the Czech Republic, and the first \"Šumava (or village) kalimbas\" were created. Together with his brother Michal, they refined the kalimbas, trying out repetitive melodies on them, which they would then record at home and supplement with loops from a sampler and slowed-down tapes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan class=\"lightweightBreak\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe newly recorded material, full of rhythms, pre-recorded loops and Michal Kořán's synthesizer, was presented for the first time in public in April 1990 at the Klarisky concert hall in Bratislava. Soon after, Jaroslav met Marek Hanzlík, a guitarist from another Prague-based band, Die Archa, leading to the formation of a new musical trio named Modrá (“Blue”). This led to a fundamental musical shift, with Marek’s prepared guitar bringing subtle harmonies and an unusual sound to the rhythmic structures, complemented by Jaroslav Kořán's slowed-down pre-recorded tapes, sampled loops and voices.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan class=\"lightweightBreak\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOver November 1990 to June 1991, Modrá made a number of recordings in Jaroslav’s home studio. For “Bohemian Blue”, the most interesting pieces from this period were selected and supplemented with two compositions recorded live at a home concert in February 1991. Although the group was only short-lived, disbanding in the second half of 1991, it represents an important period of musical experimentation and marked the dawn of the nascent Orloj Snivců (“Horologe of Dreamers”), with whom Jaroslav Kořán still performs today.\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArtist : Modrá\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLabel : Infinite Expanse\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCAT No: IE12\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2024-05-05T14:18:39+09:00","created_at":"2024-05-05T10:48:26+09:00","vendor":"Tobira Records","type":"","tags":["ambient","Infinite Expanse","new","recommended","strange beats","tape"],"price":219000,"price_min":219000,"price_max":219000,"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":45851580727546,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"Modrá \/\/ Bohemian Blue TAPE","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":219000,"weight":60,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":"","requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[]}],"images":["\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/bo1_03f9df6d-fab1-4386-92ed-7f9038444d1b.jpg?v=1714873709","\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/bo2.jpg?v=1714873709"],"featured_image":"\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/bo1_03f9df6d-fab1-4386-92ed-7f9038444d1b.jpg?v=1714873709","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":null,"id":33938249548026,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":700,"width":700,"src":"\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/bo1_03f9df6d-fab1-4386-92ed-7f9038444d1b.jpg?v=1714873709"},"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":700,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/bo1_03f9df6d-fab1-4386-92ed-7f9038444d1b.jpg?v=1714873709","width":700},{"alt":null,"id":33938249580794,"position":2,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.333,"height":900,"width":1200,"src":"\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/bo2.jpg?v=1714873709"},"aspect_ratio":1.333,"height":900,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/bo2.jpg?v=1714873709","width":1200}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003cp\u003e1990-1991年にひっそりと活動していたチェコ・プラハの実験アンビエントトリオModráが、2024年5月にイギリスの再発専門レーベルInfinite Expanseからリリースした再発カセットです。（オリジナルは2018年リリース）\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e手作りのカリンバやプリペアードギター、テープコラージュなど用いた実験アンビエント〜ストレンジビーツ曲を収録。DLコード付属。\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e以下、レーベルによる解説です。\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"90年代のプラハは変化と新しいエネルギーに満ちていた。ギャラリーでコンサートが企画され、人々は新進のバンドに興味をもって耳を傾け、新しい音楽の方向性が追求された。この時期、オルタナティヴアートへの関心が高まり、アンビエント、ニューエイジ、瞑想音楽の境界で活動する代表的なオルタナティヴバンド、リヒターバンドが登場した。80年代後半、控えめなギグを何年も続けた後、彼らのライブを見ることへの関心が高まり始め、バンドはチェコ地方だけでなく、海外にもツアーを敢行するようになった。\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e同じ頃、バイオリンとパーカッション奏者のヤロスラフ・コジャーンがグループを脱退し、独自の音楽を試み始めた。彼は、オルタナティヴロックグループのヴィーシ・ポプラールやアンビエント音楽のリヒターバンドで演奏し、手作りの楽器を作って演奏するなど、さまざまな音楽経験を持ち込んだ。フィドラーフォンは、アルミニウムのポットを組み立て、バネのついたスタンドに取り付けたユニークな楽器で、パヴェル・リヒターのエレキギターの繊細な音とユニゾンで演奏されると、リヒターバンドの特徴的なサウンドを形成した。\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eすでにサンプラーを所有し、ピアノも演奏していたが、ドラマーとして、水ガラスやポットから磁器の皿やサラダボウルまで、常に新しいパーカッシブな楽器や音を求めていた。1990年の夏、チェコ共和国の南ボヘミア地方にある国立公園、シュマヴァで木に釘を打ち込む実験を行い、最初の「シュマヴァ（村）・カリンバ」が誕生した。弟のミハエルとともに、カリンバを改良し、反復するメロディーをカリンバで試し、それを自宅で録音し、サンプラーのループやスローダウンしたテープで補った。\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eリズム、録音済みループ、ミハエル・コジャンのシンセサイザーが満載の新録音材は、1990年4月、ブラチスラヴァのクラリスキーコンサートホールで初めて人前で披露された。その直後、ヤロスラフは、プラハを拠点とする別のバンド、ディ・アルカのギタリスト、マレク・ハンズリークと出会い、Modrá（「青」）と名付けられた新しい音楽トリオの結成につながった。マレクのプリペアードギターが微妙なハーモニーと珍しいサウンドをリズム構造にもたらし、ヤロスラフ・コジャンのスローダウンされた録音済みテープ、サンプリングされたループや声がそれを補完する。\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e1990年11月から1991年6月にかけて、Modráはヤロスラフの自宅スタジオで数多くのレコーディングを行った。Bohemian Blueでは、この時期の最も興味深い作品を選び、1991年2月のホームコンサートでライヴ録音された2曲を加えた。このグループは1991年後半に解散し、短命に終わったが、音楽的実験の重要な時期であり、ヤロスラフ・コジャーンが現在も共演している新生オルロジ・スニヴチュ（「夢追い人の時計」）の幕開けとなった。\"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=794851547\/size=large\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=0687f5\/tracklist=false\/artwork=none\/transparent=true\/\" style=\"border: 0;

This is a reissue cassette released by Modrá, an experimental ambient trio from Prague, Czech Republic, who was quietly active in 1990-1991, from the British reissue specialty label Infinite Expanse in May 2024. (Originally released in 5) Contains experimental ambient to strange beats songs using handmade kalimba, prepared guitar, tape collage, etc. DL code included. Below is an explanation by the label. "Prague in the 2018s was full of change and new energy. Concerts were organized in galleries, people listened with interest to up-and-coming bands, and new musical directions were pursued. During this period, there was a shift towards alternative art. In the late 90s, after years of low-key gigs, the Richter Band, a leading alternative band operating at the border of ambient, new age, and meditative music, emerged. Interest in the band began to grow, and the band toured not only in the Czech Republic but also abroad. Around the same time, violinist and percussionist Jaroslav Kojan left the group and began experimenting with his own music. He brought with him a variety of musical experience, including playing in the alternative rock group Visi Poplar and the ambient music band Richterband, as well as building and playing handmade instruments. A unique instrument mounted on a spring-loaded stand, when played in unison with the delicate tones of Pawel Richter's electric guitar, it formed the signature sound of the Richter Band, who already owned a sampler and a piano. As a drummer, he was always looking for new percussive instruments and sounds, from water glasses and pots to porcelain plates and salad bowls. In Šumava, he experimented with driving nails into trees, and the first Šumava (village) Kalimba was born. Together with his brother Michael, he refined the kalimba, experimenting with repeating melodies on the kalimba, recording them at home and supplementing them with sampler loops and slowed-down tapes. The new recording, full of rhythms, pre-recorded loops and Michael Kojan's synthesizer, was first shown in public at Bratislava's Klarisky Concert Hall in April 80. Shortly after that, Jaroslav met Marek Hanzlik, guitarist of another Prague-based band, Di Arca, which led to the formation of a new musical trio named Modrá ("Blue"). Marek's prepared guitar brings subtle harmonies and unusual sounds to the rhythmic structure, complemented by Jaroslav Kocan's slowed-down pre-recorded tapes, sampled loops and voice. From November 1990 to June 1990, Modrá made a number of recordings at his home studio in Jaroslav. Bohemian Blue selects the most interesting works from this period and includes two songs recorded live at a home concert in February 4. The group disbanded in late 1990 and was short-lived, but it marked a significant period of musical experimentation, and the beginning of the new Orloj Snivči (The Dream Chaser's Clock), with whom Yaroslav Kozhan still performs. It was the beginning. "Click here to see more...

But, for many of us, a problem, a trap, an ineffable hollowness, exists at the very crux of this concept\/premise: how can we mourn (or even sense the loss of) that which we have never known? Especially for lifelong urbanites estranged from nature, who nevertheless grasp the severity and complexity of the problem—how might they remember? How might they mourn? Perhaps indirectly—that is to say, in an exploratory and non-dogmatic fashion—Green-House, a project birthed by Olive Ardizoni and now officially a duo project featuring long-time collaborator and confidant, Michael Flanagan, seeks to address this gap in understanding.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSix Songs for Invisible Gardens, the debut Green-House EP whose 2020 release coincided with the depths of Covid-19 “lockdown,” responded to the rampant heartsickness of human and plant life, especially in non-rural areas. The packaging of the cassette release famously included wildflower seeds for the listener to scatter\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"bcTruncateMore\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e. This gesture (at once simple and daring, especially when one considers the logistical element) exists as testament to the sincerity and seriousness of Ardizoni’s convictions. Music for Living Spaces, the first full-length Green-House LP, followed in 2021— a refinement of the formula that enshrined Six Songs as a cult, eco-ambient hit. Out October 13, 2023 on Leaving Records, they have returned with the LP A Host For All Kinds of Life, a third entry in a series of releases whose titles have incidentally all revolved around the “for” construction: an unofficial canon of offerings, or maybe rather instructions as to how the music contained therein might, could, and should operate in\/on the listener’s life and “living space(s).”\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDecidedly the most expansive Green-House release — one need only consider the LP’s title and the kaleidoscopic, fractal cover art designed by Flanagan—A Host For All Kinds of Life troubles the very notion of “ambient music,” a category with whom Green-House has always existed in some degree of tension. What if a song’s seeming softness constitutes its biting edge? What if easeful, contemplative pleasure can radically alter our mindset? Our very role as worldly subjects? Drawing on the works of Lynn Margulis and our burgeoning understanding of the evolutionary role of biological mutualism (associations between species in which both species benefit), A Host For All Kinds of Life is a deeply entrenched and politically grounded song suite. And there are indeed discrete songs here, with defined structure, momentum, and sway; see the gilded, sixties-evoking melodic arabesque of the record’s ninth and penultimate track, “Everything is Okay” (which incidentally ends with the release’s only human voice—a tender message left for Ardizoni by their mother).\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIn conversation, Ardizoni speaks often of the centrality of joy—that Green-House’s very existence can be traced to a conscious decision they made to not only choose joy as an act of rebellion, but to find that joy in whatever plant life they could access in their immediate environment. In this sense, all of Green-House’s releases (and A Host for All Kinds of Life especially) embody a radicality that may elude the casual or first-time listener. To choose, model, and express joy in an ailing world requires courage, a courage that must be jealously guarded and constantly replenished. A Host For all Kinds of Life encourages the listener to slow down, take stock, tune in to the more-than-human world around them, and gather their courage and joy in light of the uncertainty to come.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArtist : Green-House\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLabel : Leaving Records\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCat.

Host for All Kinds of Life』）は、カジュアルなリスナーや初めて聴くリスナーには理解できない過激さを体現している。病める世界で喜びを選択し、模範とし、表現するには勇気が必要だ。『A Host For all Kinds of Life』は、聴く人に、ゆっくりとした時間を持ち、自分の周りにある人間以上の世界に耳を傾け、これから起こる不確実性を踏まえて勇気と喜びを集めるよう促す。\"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe

But, for many of us, a problem, a trap, an ineffable hollowness, exists at the very crux of this concept\/premise: how can we mourn (or even sense the loss of) that which we have never known? Especially for lifelong urbanites estranged from nature, who nevertheless grasp the severity and complexity of the problem—how might they remember? How might they mourn? Perhaps indirectly—that is to say, in an exploratory and non-dogmatic fashion—Green-House, a project birthed by Olive Ardizoni and now officially a duo project featuring long-time collaborator and confidant, Michael Flanagan, seeks to address this gap in understanding.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSix Songs for Invisible Gardens, the debut Green-House EP whose 2020 release coincided with the depths of Covid-19 “lockdown,” responded to the rampant heartsickness of human and plant life, especially in non-rural areas. The packaging of the cassette release famously included wildflower seeds for the listener to scatter\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"bcTruncateMore\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e. This gesture (at once simple and daring, especially when one considers the logistical element) exists as testament to the sincerity and seriousness of Ardizoni’s convictions. Music for Living Spaces, the first full-length Green-House LP, followed in 2021— a refinement of the formula that enshrined Six Songs as a cult, eco-ambient hit. Out October 13, 2023 on Leaving Records, they have returned with the LP A Host For All Kinds of Life, a third entry in a series of releases whose titles have incidentally all revolved around the “for” construction: an unofficial canon of offerings, or maybe rather instructions as to how the music contained therein might, could, and should operate in\/on the listener’s life and “living space(s).”\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDecidedly the most expansive Green-House release — one need only consider the LP’s title and the kaleidoscopic, fractal cover art designed by Flanagan—A Host For All Kinds of Life troubles the very notion of “ambient music,” a category with whom Green-House has always existed in some degree of tension. What if a song’s seeming softness constitutes its biting edge? What if easeful, contemplative pleasure can radically alter our mindset? Our very role as worldly subjects? Drawing on the works of Lynn Margulis and our burgeoning understanding of the evolutionary role of biological mutualism (associations between species in which both species benefit), A Host For All Kinds of Life is a deeply entrenched and politically grounded song suite. And there are indeed discrete songs here, with defined structure, momentum, and sway; see the gilded, sixties-evoking melodic arabesque of the record’s ninth and penultimate track, “Everything is Okay” (which incidentally ends with the release’s only human voice—a tender message left for Ardizoni by their mother).\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIn conversation, Ardizoni speaks often of the centrality of joy—that Green-House’s very existence can be traced to a conscious decision they made to not only choose joy as an act of rebellion, but to find that joy in whatever plant life they could access in their immediate environment. In this sense, all of Green-House’s releases (and A Host for All Kinds of Life especially) embody a radicality that may elude the casual or first-time listener. To choose, model, and express joy in an ailing world requires courage, a courage that must be jealously guarded and constantly replenished. A Host For all Kinds of Life encourages the listener to slow down, take stock, tune in to the more-than-human world around them, and gather their courage and joy in light of the uncertainty to come.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArtist : Green-House\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLabel : Leaving Records\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCat.
