Yeah! They've been doing live Liminal soundbaths at various points over the past year or so. I want to go to one so bad!Sigur Rós just sent out an email with a couple of playlists. One is a compilation of all piano based songs they’ve written and another is a mix of new ambient pieces called “Liminal Sleep”
Liminal - an endless ambient mixtape
Liminal is absolutely incredible. Holy fuck. I have always wanted and hoped there would be a Jonsi & Alex followup to “Riceboy Sleeps” and this is pretty darn close to that. Alex Somers is credited on these pieces too.
Apparently they’ve been doing this Liminal project for a while but I’m only seeing it now? Damn.
I'm going to see Riceboy Sleeps in it's entirety in October. I absolutely cannot wait for that.
Same! Maybe they'll also do a Liminal pop-up in some cities along the route?
Or throw in a few Liminal pieces in the setlist before/after. That would be cool.
Nice ! I was at the LA show. He absolutely destroyed it. Was easily the most well-received set of the night. Very nice, humble guy too. I haven't grabbed the new LP yet but the 7" he put on on Total Black I picked up at the show and it rips!
Crosspost from Preorders:
WRWTFWW Records is insanely happy to announce the first ever vinyl reissue for both volumes of Yoshio Ojima’s superb environmental music project Une Collection des Chaînons I and II: Music For Spiral, originally released in 1988 on CD only. Each volume is sourced from original masters and comes as a double vinyl LP with liner notes in English and Japanese . This marks the inaugural release from the ESPLANADE SERIES by WRWTFWW Records which focuses on the works of Yoshio Ojima and friends.
Une Collection des Chaînons I and II gathers selected music pieces conceptualized and produced for sound-designing the Wacoal Art Center in Aoyama (Tokyo) also known as Spiral, a hub for a wide range of sophisticated cultural proposals spanning visual arts, theatre, music, design, fashion, and lifestyle.
Named after its superb curled-shaped structures laid in a vast atrium, Spiral is a monumental work of architecture by Fumihiko Maki, designed according to the principles of Metabolism, a movement advocating the fusion of the notions of megastructures and organic biological growth - in essence, evolving designs and constructions, adapting to human needs naturally.
