Jasper TX
Lungs

A Norman Records recommendation (26th June 2009)

This record left our Ant feeling ecstatic.

The latest offering from Under the Spire continues their exciting run of limited CDs with a top drawer selection of recordings from Jasper TX. 'Lungs' was created from minidisc recordings of live performances which were then re-edited with some frequency processing. I've been enjoying some of Dag Rosenqvist's albums lately after kind of missing them first time round. What I like about his stuff is that he really plays with space. The subtle shift in dynamics really has me imagining I'm in a different environment entirely. It's not merely atmospherics though. On this double 3" CD set he really gets some emotion swirling through the ambient sounds. He really builds the tracks from very little, and by the time you're half way through tracks they've really morphed into wondrous otherworldly sounds. All the sounds are brilliantly crafted and have a real cinematic scope to them. I imagine being lost in the darkness, or even another dimension while choirs of angels torment my fragile soul. Highly recommended.

What their label says...

“This is the first time I actually felt compelled to write something about a release.
The two tracks comprising Lungs are based on live recordings from three different venues: The Golden Afternoon consists of audio from a show at Les Ateliers Claus in Brussels and from a show I did at Aktör & Vänner in Gothenburg. White was recorded at Konsthallen in Gothenburg.
Both tracks are live recordings in the sense that the audio used to create them was recorded in front of a live audience. But when doing a show there will always be things you wish you had done differently. And so I’ve taken the liberty of re-modeling these live sessions a bit, to make it coherent and listenable. All three of the sets were recorded straight onto a portable MD. The sets were then transferred to my laptop where I edited the material. There are no overdubs on any of these recordings. The editing I performed was basically cut-and-paste and some frequency processing.”
