Signals

by Lau Nau & Matti Bye

supported by

MIKE GOODSELL This hits all the buttons for me - Piano based with big-sky treatments, lots of lower register action, and that certain unsettled quality shared with the best of Budd&Eno's classics. Not that it wears intentional influences in any way by those two artists-this is a totally stand alone future classic of the genre. Thanks to the Artist's and TRS for bringing this to life and letting it go.

Deluxe Limited Edition 180gm vinyl
Record/Vinyl + Digital Album
The Deluxe Limited Edition version in an edition of 75 unique copies comes in an absurdly over-the-top modified, heavyweight recycled chipboard jacket. On the front of each jacket is an archival printed photo on vintage scrapbook paper of a man in the mid 1960’s, plugged into a bank of electrical components that were designed at the time by my father Kennan Herrick.He was an electrical engineer, inventor, neon/kinetic artist and Tesla coil builder. Loosely attached across the bottom of the photo is an actual old printout of signal waves from some obscure measuring device, each one unique. Lau Nau & Matti Bye’s names, and the album title have been typed out on an ancient typewriter and attached to the jacket by hand.

On the reverse side of each jacket is an assembled collage of sorts, also loosely taped and attached (so be very careful please!), of original hand written papers and diagrams, blueprints, transparencies, schematics, punch cards and artwork designs created by and belonging to Mr. Herrick. These have been somewhat modified by me with hand stamping etc as well. Inside the record jacket comes the 180gm “Icebreaker” colored vinyl in its inner black poly lined sleeve. Attached to each inner sleeve is a colorful hand printed textual picture insert with track titles and credits, and along with the record in the jacket comes a stapled bunch of 3-4 other original technical papers belonging to and written/drawn by my father. Finally…each record jacket is carefully bound with a length of copper electrical wire, and then comes in its own outer poly sleeve.

My father was also a huge lover of music as well as of electronic “signals” in general…I think he would have no doubt appreciated this album greatly! Thanks to Laura and Matti for humoring my sentiments!

As usual no two copies of this version are alike, and the one that you receive may or may not match the copies pictured.

about

Signals is an absolutely beautiful new collaborative effort between the much beloved Finnish electronic artist Lau Nau, and the brilliant Swedish composer and pianist Matti Bye. These 8 gently melancholic, and deeply sensitive tracks are a perfect antidote to the stressful times that we all find ourselves in. Let these soothing sounds from the light filled days and nights of the far north soften your cares during these all too dark days.

Lau Nau and Matti are always a perfect pairing, and they have worked together for many years on a variety of projects. With this new album, Laura’s exceedingly delicate touch with her quietly twinkling and gently humming electronic treatments blend seamlessly with Matti’s softly echoed repetitions on the piano, leading to an overall feeling of peaceful quiet, and timeless mystery.

As usual at the Time Released Sound label no expense was spared here, and this lovely music comes in three distinct physical versions, all of which are available on this page.

Don't miss out on this one!

Magic in its purest form. I love Floating Points, I love Pharoah Sanders, I love The London Symphony Orchestra. It's a match made in heaven, and the result is absolutely gorgeous. I have loved this record since its release, and realized I don't own it for some reason. So its time to change that. 9.5/10 honestly could become a 10/10 on an indepth vinyl relisten. angrypizza98
