Mamiffer & Circle: Enharmonic Intervals (for Paschen Organ) Vinyl 2xLP SIGE Records 2013. Edition of 800 copies. 600 black vinyl, 200 black/clear vinyl Deluxe 2 part jacket with art/photography by Faith Coloccia, & design by musta kirahvi Track Listing: Kaksonen 1 Parting Of Bodies Vaso Luna Tumulus Vessel Full Of Worms Mätäneminen Kakksonen 2 (Artemesia) On this recording: Faith Coloccia, Aaron Turner, Jussi Lehtisalo, Mika Rättö. Viola on track one by Eyvind Kang. Recorded at Keski-Porin Kirkko, the nineteenth-century stone church in the heart of Circle’s hometown, the basic tracks for Enharmonic Intervals exude divine inspiration. Caressed by Faith Coloccia, Aaron Turner, Jussi Lehtisalo, and Mika Rättö, the house of worship’s immense Paschen organ sets a liturgical, contemplative mood, which persists unabated through a cycle of improvisations and short compositions. The album opens and closes with slowly building sinfoniettas of sustained drone and flatlining feedback that shine heavenly light onto the wan, academic corpse of avant-garde minimalism. In the middle, all sorts of hell breaks loose: Coloccia chants wordless omens on a distant shore, Turner shouts his lungs out, Lehtisalo speaks in tongues from atop synthesized snowbanks, Rättö gargles operatic gibberish, hummingbird guitars flutter past, and delicate chords glisten like dewdrops on Arctic lichen. Instead of engaging in some lazy superstar jam, Mamiffer and Circle have gone above and beyond to create a site-specific triumph that bridges the gap between serene, holy bliss and the warm, messy sprawl of humanity. Amen to that, brothers and sisters. http://www.bluecollardistro.com/sigerecords/product_info.php?products_id=8601&cPath=1186_1187&store=0
