tape reworks, vol. 2
7” + DL | Out on fri 19 april
Tape Reworks, Vol. 2 is the fourth project by Langham Research Centre released on Nonclassical. Following the success of their Tape Works, Vol. 1 and subsequent Tape Reworks, Vol. 1 (which featured remixes by Jim O’Rourke and Group A), this EP presents two remixes of tracks from Tape Works, Vol. 2: ‘Movable Fields’, remixed by Kara-Lis Coverdale, and ‘Nachholbedürfnis’, remixed by Beatriz Ferreyra. Kara-Lis Coverdale’s interpretation of ‘Moveable Fields’ is an icy soundscape, gently moving at a glacial pace, evoking the feel of a field recording from a strange planet. Ferreyra’s remix of ‘Nachholbedürfnis’ is a dadaist cacophony of bleeps and lo-fi scratchy samples, darting chaotically throughout the track in true GRM fashion. The original album utilized recordings made in specific locations, particularly brutalist buildings, as an audio manifestation of modernism.
The album will launch with a concert at London’s iconic Cafe OTO on Friday 26 April, with live performances from Beatriz Ferreyra and Langham Research Centre.
