about

label press release: “The man behind MURMER is the US-American field recording specialist PATRICK MCGINLEY (who lives in France now), who’s also responsible for the great ‘Framework’ radio programme on London’s RESONANCE 104.4FM. The two pieces on this “Drone” captivate the listener with intelligently assembled and multi-layered recordings of a garden in London (i.e. tree bark, water, footsteps, a creaking gate), processer and ventilation sounds of an old computer, and beads of a broken necklace. All sounds were left un-processed. Combined, they take you on a trip into an other world of low drones and high-pitched noises, crunching and gritting microsounds, surprising cut-ups, all very near and clear… File under: concrete Drones. CLEAR VINYL, HAND-ASSEMBLED COVERS WITH PIECES OF A SCARF, SCRAPS OF A NOTEBOOK AND HAIR OF PATRICK MCGINLEY!”

composed through many forms in 2005/2006. track 01 sources from sam’s apartment (paris, france), and track 02 sources from tamara’s secret garden (london, england). packaging constructed in tartu and mooste, estonia, 2006, and consists of handmade paper containing personal items, such as notes, clothing, travel tickets and hair. thanks to liisa for the paper-making lessons, siim for the child labor, and moks for the physical and mental space.
