Steve Reich, Erik Hall – Pulses
(Spotify)

For his version of Music for 18 Musicians (Steve Reich), Erik Hall performed every part himself, using instruments he had on hand. He recorded one section a day, one layer at a time in live, single takes, painstakingly cobbling together a loving interpretation of Reich’s 1976 masterpiece of minimalism. It marks only the second time an artist has tried tackling the seminal piece by his or herself.

Xylophones from the original score became muted pianos, violin became electric guitar, and the pulsing rasp of the bass clarinet was constructed on the Moog synthesizer. Room mics captured the air around each instrument. “Of course my version would be fundamentally different,” he explains, “but I didn’t want the differences to be distracting or gimmicky. I wanted it to be true to the timbre and spirit of the original recording,”

Steve Hadfield – Middle Distance
(Spotify)

Choral ambience to close out the Displacement Activity EP. Described in the review by At The Barrier: "Concluding the EP is the epic Middle Distance, which returns us to an ecclesiastic setting, taking the organic beauty in a choral harmony and crushing it with feedback well before our love can be soured. A ghost of the choral resonance remains to see out the piece and the record."

tEEonE – 30kilo
(Spotify)

First track from album “Inceptio”. It starts of in a very dystopian mood that gradually changes through the track, and a very radical change happens little over the halfway marker that brightens up everything. Still, things are not completely resolved which is a theme throughout the album. The track is mostly played by hand using analog synths and analog drum machines.
