about

Ethereal loop based ambient from Blanket swimming:

“On Christmas Eve of 2021 I came down with a case of covid. One day during the subsequent week, after some of my energy had returned, I recorded some lazy-handed synthesizer improvisations to a seemingly blank cassette tape I had found at a thrift store a month back. The next day I was listening back and discovered that the flip side of the tape was not blank and that it contained a room recording of a piano/organ duo’s rehearsal. I’m not sure who the group was or what the piece was that they were rehearsing, but I was drawn to the somber tone of several of the phrases that were being repeated by the group to hone in on. I could feel a heavy blues washing through the notes and melodies. I fed the tape through my pedal-fx chain and made loops that I then improvised with in real-time while recording back to another cassette tape. This album is the result of that session. Recorded in a dazed and drained state. A hazy focal point for weary minds. A slow-dance record.”

Custodi
by Carlo Giustini

supported by 6 fans who also own “The Turning Point”

Take the shimmering guitars of the Cocteau Twins, dilate and lengthen with the wistfulness of Boards of Canada and release them like one of Robert Rich’s haunting soundscapes with a jazz coda and you have Carlo Giustini's 'Custodi'. It's brilliant. sepulchre19
