Photay - Waking Hours - VINYL LP

Vinyl LP pressing. On Hold is a series of pieces derived from 10 transmissions of Inchhold musicInch captured in 2018 that have been manipulated by Photay to achieve a wider enveloping soundscape to both ease and inspire. To be placed on hold is to lose a sense of power and control. To become forcefully idle until silence is broken by an unknown voice at the other end of a seemingly infinite telecommunication system.

An Offering is a new work by Photay, under the influence of a special creative partnership with International Anthem recording artist Carlos Niño. IARC followers should know Niño, or at least one of his 3 albums we've released in the last 2 years (Chicago Waves, More Energy Fields, Current, and/or EXTRA PRESENCE). A simple introduction to Photay (née Evan Shornstein) would be to say he's made some of the best 'ambient' music of the last five years. Niño's influence is vast (who comes here with a network of regular collaborators including Iasos and Nate Mercereau), as is the presence of harpist Mikaela Davis, and the result on this collaborative album is to push Photay towards the sounds of the earth. And the water. And the spaces that exist, somewhere, probably. Mysteries unfold around each corner on every listen.1 P R E L U D E2 C U R R E N T3 C H A N G E4 E X I S T5 P U P I L6 M O S A I C7 H O N O R8 O R B I T9 E X I S T E N C E (feat.

The second album from Toronto's Polaris Prize-shortlisted Pantayo sees them picking up where the left off on their debut. Spellbinding kulintang instrumentals that feature their signature gongs share the stage with emotional r&b tinged ballads and the evocative swagger of opening track One More Latch (Give It to Ya.)01.
