PAUL BRADLEY & COLIN POTTER
The Simple Plan (special edition)

Recorded and completed at the end of 2008 and on into the first months of 2009, ´The Simple Plan´ offers a change in focus from previous collaborations between these two artists.
Comprising five tracks, ´The Simple Plan´ is purely instrumental, recorded in real-time and subjected to only minimal digital processing.
Before recording began, the decision was made to create a simpler, more organic piece of work, using computers only sparingly to record the tracks and help with arrangements. There was to be no extended manipulation of sounds, so what you hear, is basically what was played together with no overdubbing and captured live in the studio as both artists alternated between playing vintage synthesizers  (the active use of synthesizers being a first for Paul Bradley) and guitars whilst being aided by a selection of new and classic effects pedals. Although not completely analogue in realisation, it was analogue in its intent.
All at once harmonious and dissonant, melodic and atonal, calming and animated, these juxtapositions marked the beginning of significant new chapters in the personal lives of both artists and this influenced the work to an almost undeniable degree and is something that subsequently underpins the fundamental nature and feel of ´The Simple Plan´. There is somehow an abstract sense of desire and resolve that although never initially intended as a concept, naturally informed the final recordings.
The first 135 special edition copies come with a bonus disc of additional tracks titled ´Accretion´ which offers reworkings of the original recordings where the rules that governed the original sessions were not applied. ´Accretion´ is therefore quite a different selection of pieces offering alternative combinations and views of the original.

Paul Bradley - Màs Memorias Extranjeras

CD in card sleeve. Remix companion release to Memorias Extranjeras on Alluvial Recordings offering a very different rendering of the original.

On returning to Memorias Extranjeras (and to the Spanish City of Valencia) the foggy, dark somberness that punctuated the first CD had gone. A fundamental change had occurred in the twelve months between ‘Memorias Extranjeras’ and ‘Màs Memorias Extranjeras’ and there was a desire to reflect this and re-work the piece to match this clearer change in perspective. The two releases are two sides of the same coin, one darker, more detached and the other, calmer and more open. Memories that had changed and warped, softened and melded together, the same experience revisited through different eyes.

Paul Bradley - chroma

CD in jewelcase. Split over seven tracks 'chroma' is a beautiful swarming forty five-minute suite of pieces. A warm, almost angelic hue of sound radiates from 'chroma' giving it a pure, optimistic feeling that only fades with the last dying notes. Weightless and saturated in it's waves of sound, all you have to do is listen.

Paul Bradley - Sketches from Dust
(special edition)

CD SPECIAL EDITION OF 200 IN HAND PAINTED WALLET
Following on from ‘Memorias Extranjeras’ (Alluvial Recordings) with ‘Sketches from Dust’, we again have a less ‘typical’ Paul Bradley release. For this CD, gone are the field recordings and over the forty minutes we hear a piece that is mainly constructed from Guitar and Piano (the latter being played by Maja Elliott of Current 93). The recording is augmented by various acoustic sounds and some precise mixing techniques to form an organic and possibly ‘looser’ feeling recording than we might be previously expecting. What we hear is an intimate yet murky, almost eroded sonic journey.
A primitive earlier outtake of ‘Sketches from Dust’ appeared on the limited ‘Notes from Past - Sketches from Dust’ CDr released earlier in 2006. This now fully realized work is released in two CD editions, one limited to 200 copies in hand painted card sleeve and a second unlimited edition with printed card insert in a plastic wallet.

Paul Bradley - Liquid Sunset

CD

Colour bursts on the horizon. The haze of light creates a dreamy, almost unreal atmosphere. Everything slows to a stupor as the sun finally drops from view, ever static yet ever evolving, to be reborn again in a few short hours.

CD encased in some delicious artwork.

Paul Bradley & Colin Potter - Confluence

The first track is a 'best of' amalgam of live studio rehearsals leading upto the performance for Intergration 2. This is a truly collaborative piece that was captured at its very inception. The second and third tracks are individual reworking's of the former where the original is turned on its head, twisted and morphed into something all together different, revealing only the smallest of hints as to its source to guide us home.

jgrzinich - rudiment of two

Twenty Hertz sister label, edition sonoro's debut release. ‘rudiment of two’ contains three extended compositions based on an array of sound material recorded in 2006 in Estonia, Italy, Portugal, Japan and Finland. Acoustic sounds from various objects, materials, improvisations and field recordings were processed to varying degrees and woven together to form spatial interplay of delicate textures and tonalities.
The CD package was designed by the artist which features imagery from a unique series of his photographs and montages. Label description. Limited edition of 300 CDs

LUMINANCE RATIO
Like Little Garrisons Besieged

LUMINANCE RATIO is a collaborative effort joining sound artists Eugenio Maggi (Cría Cuervos, Slave Auction), Gianmaria Aprile (Ultraviolet Makes Me sick, Fratto9under the sky records) and Andrea Ferraris (Airchamber 3, Ur,Ulna, John Russel, Sil Muir). "Like Little Garrisons Besieged" brings them far from their respective discographies and finds them sailing in the apparently quiet waters of free-folk, electroacoustics and minimal drones. The music, resulting from live sessions and painstaking studio work, is meticulously thought to combine electronics with analog/traditional instruments: laptop, acoustic and electric guitars, cardiod and contact microphones, vibraphone, melodica, glockenspiel, minidisc, rimshot and cymbals, analog synth, percussion, kaoss pad and pedal effects. Featured on this release is Paul Bradley (Twenty Hertz, Monos, etc.)'s personal reinterpretation of their collective work, assembling an expanded "remix concrète" out of the single tracks.

We have a limited number of this cd available

Monos - Promotion

cdr

Promotion was the debut release from Monos originally issued in 2000 by Nil Records. From this beginning Monos went on to produce a number of releases for labels such as Anomalous Records and Die Stadt gaining an extra member along the way in the shape of Colin Potter.

Out of print and unavailable since it's initial release, Promotion is now issued on Twenty Hertz in a slim jewelcase with obi, postcard and photograph insert depicting the original artwork alongside the new designs.

Various Artists - Resonant Embers

CD
‘resonant embers’ is a compilation featuring Paul Bradley, Maile Colbert, irr. app. (ext.), jgrzinich, Andrew Liles, Colin Potter and Ubeboet who have all previously been released through our parent label Twenty Hertz.

Here we have seven artists presenting seven tracks of drones both stoically austere and upliftingly melodic, haunting melodies, beautifully evocative vocals, engaging field recordings and disorientating environments.

There are many things that link these artists together but it is their differences that are more interesting. There is a fundamental contrast in approach and execution with each channeling their creativity in differing ways from drones and soundscapes, through melodic instrumental pieces to environmental recordings and opera. The artists presented here have created individual works that display a unique voice and emotion, all the while creating a collectively involving work that is rewarded with repeated listens.

‘edition sonoro’ are very pleased and indeed darn right proud to be bringing these artists together on ‘resonant embers’ and hope that listeners will enjoy the unique and emotional journey they have created. label description
