Rostam - Changephobia - VINYL LP

Rostam's third album, American Stories, arrives May 15, his first new music in over five years. The Iranian-American artist and acclaimed producer returns with a record that explores his life across dual cultural worlds. The music weaves together elements of Americana and Persian traditions, blending finger-picked guitars, pedal steel, and strummed chords with microtonal Persian melodies.

Ivan Pavlov aka COH characterizes his latest solo work, 'Radiant Faults', as Inchthe recording of a dialogue,Inch rather than a set of compositions. Crafted using a rare new synthesizer, the Silhouette Eins, Pavlov's first encounter with the instrument across a long, late night session resulted in a continuous set of textures, patterns, and subliminal melodies. At some point during the process, he realized he was not alone InchIt was as if something was speaking to me through the gear - the feeling was very intense. No matter how determined and specific I attempted to be, the results were something else. They felt like 'responses.' This instantly reminded me of ELpH.InchELpH is the name coined by Coil for a Inchcelestial entityInch that emanates from electronic equipment at mysterious moments, altering the creative process in unforeseen ways. They devised the term during studio sessions back in 1994, during which sustained software accidents ultimately seemed possessed of supernatural intelligence, spawning it's own mythos. As a longtime member of Coil's inner circle, Pavlov is steeped in ELpH's ideology and influence - and highly qualified to identify an encounter of his own. 'Radiant Faults' offers a compelling addition to the ELpH canon, at the threshold of music and manifestation, embracing the Inchdivine quality of error.InchThe Silhouette Eins is a unique instrument combining the 1920's concept of an Inchoptical soundtrackInch with a hardware synth interface to Pure Data a visual programming language for producing interactive music, using real- time video signal in it's synthesis of sound. Pavlov's attempted manipulations were answered by indecipherable transmissions from some distant, unknowable place. Stark waveforms drone and bend against skeletal metronomes; murmured pulses flicker down empty corridors; high fluorescent tones gleam and glitch in zero gravi
