Rick Myers & Matt Krefting - Movements for Reginaphone + Cassette

[fumi]

@Nebraska  @joshuatxuk

New from Pre-cert. 

Something much greater than the sum of its parts here, using a antique hand cranked Reginaphone - an archaic machine that plays both music box discs and 78s - to transport us into a crumbling, cassette dubbed wonderland.

The pair explore the various anachronisms of the 100 year old family heirloom with results that are part sound art/sound poetry and part mechanical musical curio, delving into its cogs and wires with wonderfully time-out-of-joint effect springing fractured melodies and a drowsy oneiric ambience that gets under the skin.

In five parts of fragmented melodic thought, plus a tremulous 13 minute coda, ‘Movements For Reginaphone’ modestly enchants to the horizontal, casting its magick in fairy dust sprinkles of music box melody and workshop detritus, with a rustling airiness that beautifully complements quieter listening spaces and mindsets, achieving a hazily nostalgic wooze that throws back to a barely plugged-in era, when one had to physically crank up their kit to get it working.

I'll check this out, based on the description looks right up my alley. 

Also I meant to DM you about something @fumi - I feel like you wrote a book? Or at least wrote stuff on a blog - I'd like to ask more about that but I could be mistaken.
