Asterisms is a small new series for slow sounds, non-linear noises, ecstatic encounters, and silver symmetries. Occurring intermittently, the third iteration of these events presents Glow Pools, 아이고 Aigo, and Ghost Acres at K77 Studio.
아이고 Aigo
아이고 Aigo’s music touches on alternative/rock and destroys the borders in-between with a violent and joyful energy. With Inky’s voice and keyboard, and Jay’s drums, Aigo portrays dimensions of queer life in Berlin.
Glow Pools
Sounds unfurl /// intervals exhale /// slowness vs attention /// a note hangs in the air and shimmers /// Four humans moving molecules in a room somewhere outside the Ringbahn, and three circles on the wall.
Ghost Acres
The 2021 album Eppure Galleggia, the debut by Ghost Acres, was created primarily as a live score — as a combination of music for film and music for performance. The result is a drone-inflected set that juxtaposes atmospheric post-rock with minimalist, cinematic electronics. The effect sometimes hints at Slint-like refined pulsing, such as on ‘Coptic Bind,’ the featured track. At other points the album allows a central idea to steadily accumulate, such as album centrepiece ‘Trembling Moon’, which allows a swelling surge of bowed guitar and electronics to unfold over an unhurried fifteen minutes. And the enigmatic ‘Dream Pool Essays’ combines samples from mid-twentieth-century recordings of medieval baroque string ensembles with layers of xylophone and looped effects, in a kinetic rush of sound that seems to skip across centuries in its weaving of sonic threads. Most significantly, though, the album was created as a single entity — the original recordings are without track breaks — and is best listened to as such. This series of musical motifs make a virtue of their overlaps, and the true scope of the album reveals itself over a longer listen.
