Hotham Sound Recordings:

"Using a MIDI controller he found in an East Van dumpster, Vancouverite Jonathan Orr makes luminous lo-fi jams reminiscent of early Tobacco and Boards of Canada; every track a smeared mash-up of detuned synth samples and recycled beats from the cheesiest of 90s sample packs. Taking his theoretical cues from early 80s industrial cassette culture (the primitive missives of Zoviet France and Nocturnal Emissions) and his practical inspiration from more recent Dungeon Synth projects like Silent Cabin and Fogweaver (where unadorned Casios and one-fingered melodies rule) Orr has crafted a deeply infectious album of ambient electro music using nothing but scavenged gear. The Hex Sun vibe of 'Do you Not Wish' kicks things off in proper woozy fashion, before giving way to the rubbery bounce of 'Gospel Dynamics' and the pummeling drive of 'Rudy Finds the Prism'. Side Two's 'Vapor King' and 'Amazing Vocals On Earth' sound like lost outtakes from 'A Few Old Tunes Vol 1' - all overdriven drums and in terlocking synth loops - while album closer 'One World Or None' gently returns listeners to the hazy rural dusk of the album's opening.

Behind the tongue-in-cheek nature of Orr's project name (the artist originally imagined the MIDI Janitor as an aging maintenance man creating beats in the privacy of his supply closet) lies a sophisticated musical palette and a refreshing inclusivity of spirit. If the MIDI Janitor can do it, the album seems to ask, why can't you? are all around us; free for the taking. Why spend your time collecting thousands of dollars worth of vintage synths when you could be making meaning with the tools you have?"

As covid raged through 2020-21 and opportunities for live performance became increasingly scarce, the group steadfastly continued to meet weekly for its extended studio improv sessions, all of which were captured on tape. Parameters were simple; as soon as a key was chosen and the record button pressed, there was no turning back. Improvisations would often last late into the night, sometimes splintering into multiple variations on a theme, the three ensemble members responding to one another’s musical cues with the practiced ease that can only come from years of close collaboration.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e'Acedia Phase' is a snapshot of those sessions; a vital document of the V Vecker Ensemble at the peak of its powers, and a beautifully heavy slab of ambient music. On 'Atonement', the drifting polysynths of David Rogers and Luke Rogers Requena set the scene; a temple of shadows into which V Vecker’s saxophone glides like a restless ghost.

As covid raged through 2020-21 and opportunities for live performance became increasingly scarce, the group steadfastly continued to meet weekly for its extended studio improv sessions, all of which were captured on tape. Parameters were simple; as soon as a key was chosen and the record button pressed, there was no turning back.

From there we ascend to the aptly named 'Sky Eye', a rolling mixture of acoustic beats and analog string machines that gives us our first bird’s eye view of the album’s landscape. 'A Long Road' pushes the acoustic instrumentation further, with shimmering tambourine marking time for a collection of hand drums and shakers, while 'Ages' summons up an occult-like dream of glacial arpeggios and whispering synths. 'Slow Moves' and 'Tree Motion' float effortlessly along on beds of lazy congas and woodblocks before finally giving way to the title track - a heady juggernaut of distorted synths and trundling rhythms that propels us through the album’s second half like a locomotive through\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\" class=\"bcTruncateMore\"\u003e darkening hills. Drawing the record to a close, the gently repeating keyboard phrase of 'Mist' blooms unexpectedly into a rainbow of human voices before evaporating into the oceanic swells of 'Hi Traveller'.
