Thanks to Shawn Splane for the excellent fly recording, which became drone.
Shawn explained ‘Recorded on iPhone 5/5/15 in my basement. A fly infestation mysteriously appeared that spring in the basement. After tiring of swatting them or shooing them out of the room, I wondered if flypaper was still a thing. Surprised to find some at the local hardware store. Didn’t take long for the victims to start populating the flypaper. This one was valiantly trying to escape and provided its own tragic soundtrack.’
Here are some tracks from a forthcoming set – release date & format TBC. Let me know what you think and which tracks are your favourites.
Time is an Abyss Lagowski live at Ohm, Berlin, 22nd Nov 2019. With thanks to Sleepers Records for organising the party and Pixie for live sound. Recorded direct from my mixer to Tascam DA-20 digital recorder.
I’ve uploaded the video of me performing at Wroclaw Industrial Festival, which was recorded by Yukari (moshcam) and Jean-Yves Millet for the balcony camera. The sound is taken from my on-stage mixer for clarity. The full recording will be available on CD in 2020.
You will need good bass to listen correctly –> S.E.T.I. WIF XVIII 9NOV19
If you purchase anything from Deep Audio for €30 or more, you’ll get a new S.E.T.I. track on a business card CDR free….only between 8th December 2017 to 8th January 2018.
These are early/alternate versions of tracks from the ‘Ashita’ album that never made it. Now recovered from the original DAT and presented here. “Kino” means yesterday in Japanese.
A new release recorded with Andrea Bellucci of ‘Red Sector A’ is now available from Space Race Records This dark stripped-out techno album was recorded between 2014 and 2015 and arranged and mixed at Andrea’s studio by him in 2015. I must point out that while I am credited with additional programming on the CD sleeve, Andrea did most of the work. I provided some atmospheres and samples but the concept and overall sound of the whole set of recordings is Andrea’s and he should be commended for a fine job!
**UPDATE** Copies can now also be purchased direct from me via Discogs
S.E.T.I. ‘Final Trajectory’ CD release
S.E.T.I. Final Trajectory CD
The new album of Andrew Lagowski’s S.E.T.I. begins as a colossal sound wall, like a massive electrical transformer, out of which analogue and digital synthesizer sounds and samples emerge, condense, and crossfade into a deep ambient symphony. The recordings and textures produced over 30 years from 1983-2013 converge in ‘Final Trajectory’ to produce a collection of monolithic sounds. Invoking a sense of immensity with warm and dark atmospheric loops sounding distant and abandoned in a vast wilderness, battling against galactic winds. S.E.T.I. sets the listener down in this wilderness as an isolated observer; a witness to long intertwining drones, shattered dialogue and broken transmissions, with superior effects chains and a gentle rising dramaturgy forcing the complete album to an astonishing pure data vortex.
As the Voyager spacecraft reaches the outer edge of our Solar System it is a fitting time to imagine the exodus from Earth of the last human being on their final trajectory towards an unknown future. There has been little effort made to prepare psychologically for this one way trip and hallucinatory voices and sounds flit around the traveller, mingling with those of the craft’s entertainment, propulsion and life support systems. Life memories, encounters and events break through the cracks of rational thought like dream fragments, in bursts of barely unrecognisable data. As the craft passes through the mid point of our planetary system on its way out, the occupant thinks they hear a message being transmitted from Earth on the permanently scanning radio receiver.….
Will this be real in our lifetimes? Is the craft being built already in the knowledge that we have little time left on this planet?
If so, where to next?
