HIGH PLAINS
High Plains is the duo of Scott Morgan and Mark Bridges. Morgan, based in the Canadian Pacific Northwest, is predominantly known for his drifting, textured soundscapes released under the pseudonym loscil. Bridges is an accomplished, classically-trained cellist residing in Madison, Wisconsin. The two met in Banff, Alberta while they were simultaneously there on residencies at the Banff Centre for the Arts in 2014. They first collaborated when Bridges contributed cello parts to Morgans generative music app ADRIFT, recorded in Seattle in 2015.
In early 2016, the duo embarked on a collaborative set of compositions in the oxygen thin air of Wyoming, spending two weeks holed up in a refurbished school house outside the town of Saratoga, where this album was recorded. Inspired by Schuberts Die Winterreise and the rolling landscapes of their surroundings, the collaboration culminated in a collection of recordings that evoke a shadowy, introspective and dizzying winter journey. Cinderland takes cues from classical, electronic and cinematic musical traditions but is mostly a product of the rugged, mythic landscape; vast and sprawling with a wild, uncertain edge. The recording was made with a portable studio and all sounds were sourced on site, most notably from Bridges cello, the resident Steinway D piano, and field recordings collected from the local soundscape. The results are a site specific, wide scope view of the high valley terrain the duo worked in, a mix of analog and digital, neoclassical and modern electronic sounds, a complemental series of tracks to become absorbed in, a truly deep listening experience.
The cover art for Cinderland was created by London-based artist, Peter Liversidge. The album will be released March 31, 2017 on kranky.
ANJOU
Anjous Mark Nelson and Robert Donne are experimental music treasures. Theyre both members of the influential post-rock and drone innovators Labradford, and they have both enjoyed popular projects since, the former as PanAmerican and the latter as Cristal and Aix Em Klemm with Stars of the Lids Adam Wiltzie. Anjou are set to release their sophomore album Epithymía on kranky in March of 2017.
