Sholto Dobie was born in Edinburgh and lives in Vilnius, he performs with self-constructed wind instruments, using a frankenstein-like set up which has evolved over many years. An air pump is attached to a series of reeded and metal pipes from various sources – organs, bagpipes and khene – which are brought to life by an interrelated system of timer modules, valves and swinging microphones. Release 23 captures the rich world of pulses, beatings and breaths that have emerged from Sholto’s performance settings, whilst weaving them into a distinct and unique audio work. For anyone more familiar with Sholto’s work you will no doubt be warmed by recognisably delicate and evocative styles reminiscent of previous solo recordings such as Nevery and The Ringer as well as influences from friends and collaborators such as Judith Hamann, Malvern Brume, Ahti & Ahti, Rie Nakajima and Shakeeb Abu Hamdan.
Alanas Gurinas is an interdisciplinary artist of a young generation who creates in the field of sonic performances and audiovisual installations. In his sonic practice he explores sound as a textural phenomena, the themes of ephemerality and relations between various hearable and unhearable objects and spaces. A slightly light tone is a live acoustic sound performance which uses paper as a main material for producing sound. Different kinds of papers are placed between two wooden clamps and with the help of weights are being strained till they find their resonance state. As a result different paper drone tones and textures are being produced.
