The debut cassette of new ambient writer Dylan Henner. An ambient work that also leads to the 80's domestic New Age. 38 minutes recorded, out of print.The binding is also beautiful.I asked for a DL code and had it attached.

Numbered edition of 90 copies with handprinted silkscreen artwork.

"The music is based on the environmental & ecological despair happening in front of us, particularly in reference to South India. As with most of my work, the piece started with field recordings taken on location (in this case, on the Kerala / Tamil / Tamil Nadu border in South India). I had been reading about the severe erosion levels in the territory and was sitting on the beach watching these little streams of sand pour out into the sea. I was watching the tide, not erosion, of course, but It was a very powerful miniature of the sad reality. So the piece is about this little moment of aching tenderness between me and nature, sitting powerless on the sand and watching it disappears into the water. "

There weren't many venues catering to these new attempts at mixing things up, but slowly a number of great bands coalesced out of a group of like-minded friends, mixing everyone's backgrounds whether punk, disco, jazz or whatever. I clearly remember going to see New Horizons Ensemble at the Hothouse with Jeff, then a few weeks later going to the Empty Bottle to see Tortoise. Within months he'd be in both those bands. He was instrumental in forging a link between players with different styles that helped define the sound of creative music in ‘90s Chicago.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIt's a particular thing to hear Jeff play solo. He is an unusually selfless improviser, often times laying out and highlighting the contributions of his band mates. He's never been one to play three notes where none would suffice. On this recording however he is by himself, joined only by his own ideas, looped or frozen, to flesh out the music he's creating in his mind. Hearing him craft entire sound worlds on these eight selections gives us an opportunity to really see how Parker orders sound.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHe has been ordering sound with an amazingly diverse array of artists and collaborators for the past three decades. While it's common for a professional musician to be versed in many styles, that normally means a succession of genre tropes deployed to ensure the listener knows exactly where they are and what's supposed to be happening. A guitarist, for example, might play a Nile Rogers type rhythm on Disco or Funk, a favorite B.B. King lick on a blues or a Wes Montgomery phrase over a standard. Parker rarely does anything this overt. While perfectly capable (Once, in the studio, at the behest of a musician we were working with, I heard him take a solo that could have been an outtake from a Steely Dan album), he eschews genre playing and chooses a painterly approach to coloring the music, maintaining a deeply personal voice without weighing down the music with obvious stylistic maneuverings. His unique approach fits so well into so many contexts precisely because SOUND is his main focus and concern. One can clearly hear the breadth of Black Music in Parker’s playing. He is part of a continuum of musicians extending back to antiquity.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe structures here challenge our preconceptions of background and foreground. ALL the layers are primary. We are presented with fully integrated sonic developments rather than accompaniment, melody, or \"soloing\". Often times a solo album is an excuse for an artist to display their virtuosity. The idea being, possibly, that unencumbered by other musicians, the soloist is free to ride off on flights of fancy. But a career spent in the practice of subtlety is thankfully apparent in every song here. On Forfolks, a standard of the Great American Songbook fits comfortably next to multi-layered improvisations, a Thelonious Monk tune, and several compositions of Parker’s own, dating back twenty-five years.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMonk, I find to be an apt comparison. Both men were deeply involved in some of the most progressive musical movements of their respective generations, neither gaining much renown at the time, but both kept on doing things in their own quietly iconoclastic ways until the world caught up with them some twenty years later. I was fortunate enough to recognize the first time I heard Jeff Parker thirty years ago that I was witnessing something very special.\u003c\/span\u003e \"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArtist : Jeff Parker\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLabel : \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eInternational Anthem\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2022-01-24T12:32:39+09:00","created_at":"2022-01-24T11:57:42+09:00","vendor":"Tobira Records","type":"","tags":["ambient","cd","international anthem","jazz","lp","new"],"price":238000,"price_min":238000,"price_max":364000,"available":true,"price_varies":true,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":42359435034874,"title":"LP","option1":"LP","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":{"id":36493921976570,"product_id":7524436312314,"position":2,"created_at":"2022-01-24T11:57:42+09:00","updated_at":"2022-01-24T11:57:44+09:00","alt":null,"width":1200,"height":900,"src":"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0305\/1637\/9780\/products\/go2_e0798740-e22e-437c-9516-7fb34e28f8dc.jpg?v=1642993064","variant_ids":[42359435034874]},"available":true,"name":"Jeff Parker \/\/ Forfolks LP \/ CD - LP","public_title":"LP","options":["LP"],"price":364000,"weight":430,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":"","featured_media":{"alt":null,"id":29050072072442,"position":2,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.333,"height":900,"width":1200,"src":"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0305\/1637\/9780\/products\/go2_e0798740-e22e-437c-9516-7fb34e28f8dc.jpg?v=1642993064"}},"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[]},{"id":42359435067642,"title":"CD","option1":"CD","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":{"id":36493923057914,"product_id":7524436312314,"position":3,"created_at":"2022-01-24T11:58:15+09:00","updated_at":"2022-01-24T11:58:17+09:00","alt":null,"width":1200,"height":900,"src":"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0305\/1637\/9780\/products\/go3.jpg?v=1642993097","variant_ids":[42359435067642]},"available":true,"name":"Jeff Parker \/\/ Forfolks LP \/ CD - CD","public_title":"CD","options":["CD"],"price":238000,"weight":90,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":"","featured_media":{"alt":null,"id":29050073055482,"position":3,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.333,"height":900,"width":1200,"src":"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0305\/1637\/9780\/products\/go3.jpg?v=1642993097"}},"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[]}],"images":["\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0305\/1637\/9780\/products\/fo.jpg?v=1642993064","\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0305\/1637\/9780\/products\/go2_e0798740-e22e-437c-9516-7fb34e28f8dc.jpg?v=1642993064","\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0305\/1637\/9780\/products\/go3.jpg?v=1642993097"],"featured_image":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0305\/1637\/9780\/products\/fo.jpg?v=1642993064","options":["format"],"media":[{"alt":null,"id":29050072039674,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":700,"width":700,"src":"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0305\/1637\/9780\/products\/fo.jpg?v=1642993064"},"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":700,"media_type":"image","src":"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0305\/1637\/9780\/products\/fo.jpg?v=1642993064","width":700},{"alt":null,"id":29050072072442,"position":2,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.333,"height":900,"width":1200,"src":"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0305\/1637\/9780\/products\/go2_e0798740-e22e-437c-9516-7fb34e28f8dc.jpg?v=1642993064"},"aspect_ratio":1.333,"height":900,"media_type":"image","src":"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0305\/1637\/9780\/products\/go2_e0798740-e22e-437c-9516-7fb34e28f8dc.jpg?v=1642993064","width":1200},{"alt":null,"id":29050073055482,"position":3,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.333,"height":900,"width":1200,"src":"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0305\/1637\/9780\/products\/go3.jpg?v=1642993097"},"aspect_ratio":1.333,"height":900,"media_type":"image","src":"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0305\/1637\/9780\/products\/go3.jpg?v=1642993097","width":1200}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eTortoiseギタリストとしても活動していたジャズ奏者Jeff Parkerが、2021年12月にInternational Anthemからリリースした最新アルバム\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eです。\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eギターをメインソースとしたジャズ〜アンビエントジャズ8曲を収録。\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=1759480046\/size=large\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=0687f5\/tracklist=false\/artwork=small\/transparent=true\/\" style=\"border: 0;

Parker rarely does anything this overt. While perfectly capable (Once, in the studio, at the behest of a musician we were working with, I heard him take a solo that could have been an outtake from a Steely Dan album), he eschews genre playing and chooses a painterly approach to coloring the music, maintaining a deeply personal voice without weighing down the music with obvious stylistic maneuverings. His unique approach fits so well into so many contexts precisely because SOUND is his main focus and concern. One can clearly hear the breadth of Black Music in Parker’s playing. He is part of a continuum of musicians extending back to antiquity.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe structures here challenge our preconceptions of background and foreground. ALL the layers are primary. We are presented with fully integrated sonic developments rather than accompaniment, melody, or \"soloing\". Often times a solo album is an excuse for an artist to display their virtuosity. The idea being, possibly, that unencumbered by other musicians, the soloist is free to ride off on flights of fancy. But a career spent in the practice of subtlety is thankfully apparent in every song here. On Forfolks, a standard of the Great American Songbook fits comfortably next to multi-layered improvisations, a Thelonious Monk tune, and several compositions of Parker’s own, dating back twenty-five years.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMonk, I find to be an apt comparison. Both men were deeply involved in some of the most progressive musical movements of their respective generations, neither gaining much renown at the time, but both kept on doing things in their own quietly iconoclastic ways until the world caught up with them some twenty years later. I was fortunate enough to recognize the first time I heard Jeff Parker thirty years ago that I was witnessing something very special.\u003c\/span\u003e \"\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArtist : Jeff Parker\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLabel : \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eInternational Anthem\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e"}
