Hey folks,
Well it’s 31st December, 2009 in Australia.
Before the light get low and the ales flow,
before the sun goes down on this year and all its memories.
Stop.
Breathe.
And let the moment sink in.
What world do you want to see and hear in 2010?
What do you want to share via Overlap?
May your hope shine and the knowledge that 2010 will bring you what you desire will grow
in your heart.
Should auld acquaintance be forgot… Much love and happy New Year,
Simon
Symbiosis Episode 40 - Segue
Segue is Jordan Sauer from Vancouver, Canada.
His sound is s minimalist patchwork of textures and tones with a keen ear for the subtle interplay of timbre. These sounds are created through the blending of various instruments (12 and 6 string acoustic guitars, piano, violin, melodica, singing bowls, world instruments, toys etc), and field recordings.
Jordan has numerous releases on netlabels such as Autoplate (Thinner), Kyoto_digital, Sem_IOD, Serein, Silent Season, Qunabu, Resting Bell, Audiotalia, as well as CDR releases on Slow Flow, Tokyo Droning and his own duckbay. Future releases include an ep on Under the Spire and a collaboration with Pleq on Databloem records.

“This mix is based on tracks from my two recent releases on Slow Flow and Tokyo Droning records labels, plus a few samples of works in progress. It provides a snapshot of my approach to composition over the past year or so, slowly moving pieces of shifting sounds and textures. That said, my approach to composition is constantly evolving, but this is a fairly uniform selection of tracks in that they all fit a certain mood and aesthetic. It is very introspective and quite, good for alone time with a cup of tea.
I am amazed at how quickly an international network has formed over the past year or so around a few new net-labels and record labels, driven by a diverse group of truly motivated individuals. I am lucky to have found friends amongst them all, special thanks to Ryo Nakata (who runs Slow Flow Rec) and Ian Hawgood (who runs Home Normal, Tokyo Droning and has his hand in many other projects) for there efforts at bringing everyone together. I am fortunate to have worked with Ryo on the first duckbay records compilation “listen” and Ian will have a track featured on the second compilation, “sing”, due early 2010.
In other news, my next release will be on the wonderful Under the Spire Records in early 2010. It is a short e.p. graciously mastered by Will Long from Celer, which I am very happy with.” - Segue, December 2009
