ASC / Original Soundtrack (ASIP037)

 

After two albums as Comit, James Clements brings his ASC alias to the label with a completely new and revealing style, focusing on the piano and creating space for the listener to construct their own associations with an imaginary Soundtrack.

Bridging the majority of Electronic styles over the past twenty years, from Autonomic and Jungle, to Ambient, Techno and IDM, James Clements can be held up as a master of these styles by many of us, but when it comes to boiling down his musical intricacies to focus on a single instrument, you’d be hard stretched to find something within his vast catalog until now. In 'Original Soundtrack' the piano is now the focus across eight introspective acts, with the spaces and places left open for further interpretation.

Mastered by Rafael Anton Irisarri and featuring photography by Greg Nunn, Original Soundtrack will be available as a limited Digipak CD and digital download. View the release page for more info and links to buy.

Ameeva / Die Wellen (9128-4)

 

Out today on our sub-label 9128.live, an incredible live performance by Ameeva, which we had the pleasure of hosting last year during the 9128 anniversary takeover. Now available on digital and a limited edition cassette box with UV printed foil.

Born in Girona, Spain and based in Berlin since 2019, Alex Bussé Santacruz's Ameeva project previously came to life on the Lowless music label in 2020 and the album 'Fractura del Sueño'. His live set for the 9128 Birthday event took these experimental electronics to a deeper, more personal level, weaving friends' samples and conversations into a rich tapestry of drone and field recordings, creating an immersive and enveloping 40-minute narrative.

Available on Bandcamp, and Juno.

The 9128 label aims to document significant live performances by artists that previously performed on the 9128.live platform. With recordings initially created for a singular collective listening moment, and often as part of a festival or takeover weekend, label recordings will re-present this music for further listening across various formats that best suit each release.

 

Gadi Sassoon / Chaos & Order (ASIPV037)

 
 

I’m very excited to welcome Gadi Sassoon back to the label with his second release and the Chaos & Order EP. Following his well-received debut album, Multiverse, Gadi has continued in experimental world-building by creating an immersive record that comes to life in various different ways.

Based on three tracks original created for an immersive Quadraphonic system, the release not only features stunning remixes by Olga Wojciechowska, Max Würden and FRKTL, but is accompanied by separate Binaural versions, Atmos versions, and a super-limited 2LP lathe cut featuring the Quadraphonic splits, enabling a custom playback experience for those lucky to snap one up. Not to mention a beautiful print of the artwork by Noah M / Keep Adding.

Head over to the release page for all the details.

 

Jo Johnson & Hilary Robinson / Session One (9128-1)

 

The inaugural 9128.live label release came from the UK’s Jo Johnson and Hilary Robinson, and is now available on 12”. Featuring subtle, harmonic drones and manipulated piano, originally aired as part of the duo’s set for the CALMA (Madrid) takeover on 9128.live, the vinyl edition was cut by Andreas LUPO Lubich, and new vinyl side masters prepared by Rafael Anton Irisarri.

Jo Johnson was a guitarist with punk band Huggy Bear in the 90s, inspired by and aligned with the riot grrrl and queercore movements. She organized underground techno parties with Bleep43 in the early 2000s and founded the crew’s label. Since 2012 she has explored experimental, minimalist music and her debut LP Weaving was released on Further Records in 2014.

After a classical training with composers including Kaija Saariaho, London-based composer, pianist and sometime vocalist Hilary Robinson is active across genres from contemporary classical concert music to experimental. Her music has been performed at festivals such as the UK’s 'Music We’d Like to Hear' and broadcast on BBC Radio.
