HF03 Joshua Dumas – ‘Rough Matinals’
Chicago pianist, musician and filmmaker Joshua Dumas exploring the opportunity, optimism, and anxiety in the moments before sunrise. Romantic modernism. Baroque introspection concealed inside a envelope of densely interpreted keys and stark ambient miasma. Moments that unfold the ears and awaken the mind to both possibilities great and limitations cruel. Forty five hand assembled copies, professionally dubbed on chrome tape. Inserts duplicated directly on individual pages of a 1964 copy of the novel The Dark Side Of The Earth, by Alfred Bester. Individually numbered and hand stamped liner notes.
HF04 øjeRum – ‘sange til døende’
Raw hand stitched tape collage from Copenhagen’s Paw Grabowski. Hiss and static that become formative composition elements shrouding a downward spiral of strings and patiently delivered vocal in ambiguous tones of white and grey. A ghostly erosion of sanity, the creak of a door left ajar, the scrape of soft metal against old oak floors. Shadows without figures. Forty five hand assembled copies, professionally dubbed on chrome tape. Inserts duplicated directly on individual pages of a 1983 copy of the novel Channel’s Destiny, by Jean Lorrah and Jacqueline Lichtenberg. Individually numbered and hand stamped liner notes.
