More Info

Der neue Stern am Field Recording Himmel heisst JANA WINDEREN! Sie verzaubert auf ihrem ersten Vinyl mit sehr plastischen Unterwasser-Aufnahmen, aufgenommen mit Hydrophonen. Die A-Seiten Klänge stamnmen aus Thailand und man hört hier ausser dem blubbernden & dröhnenden Wasser auch noch Frösche & Grillen von Reisfeldern, sowie Welse & Krabben.. die B-Seite (eine Collage von verschiedenen Fluss-Aufnahmen aus Island, Norwegen, etc..) ist sehr dröhnig & rauschig, aber mit nicht minder faszinierenden Details gespickt..
Fast identisch aufgemacht wie die TOUCH SEVEN-Serie (mattes WOZENCROFT-Vollkfarbcover, mit "Buchrücken"), auf dem US-Label AUTOFACT.

"Great new Autofact 7" series, pressed in the UK w/ the same quality and design specs as Touch's recent 7" series. Perfect audio/art documentation, limited to 500 copies... Surface runoff is when soil is filled with excess water from rain, snowmelt, etc., and its subsequent flow of excess onto land. This cycle, and the dependence of life on water, is reflected in these hot and cold recordings made by Jana Winderen. Uniquely able to co-exist in its three natural states, of gas, liquid and solid, water is our most precious resource. Without it we die. Surface Runoff is the first in a new series of 7" releases." [label info]

"... The A side is a swirl of textured gurgles, almost a straight field recording of a pastoral creekside (birds, splashes, wind) but as the track progresses the sounds become more textural, almost rhythmic at times, sounding much more like Tim Hecker or Oval. The flipside features a collage of underwater recordings from rivers in Norway, Iceland, England and Germany, deep rumbles, soft creaks, occasional insects, the sound of a stream, water lapping on the shore, the sound shifting to more of a warm whirring very dreamy and abstract, slipping back and forth, above water, below water, crystalline and spacious, murky and muddy and indistinct, woozy and swoony and quite pleasing. Beautiful Jon Wozencroft style full color photo cover, and limited to only 500 copies." [Aquarius Records review]
