ambient/etc monthy event series
the new ambient/etc event series was launched NYE to great success and excitement. 002 is announced and future editions plans are well underway. the first saturday of each month @ the deli, is the mode. following low indigo on instagram or facebook will keep those interested up to date, or checking in the profile at tickit works too.
the full set of recordings are also up from the first night too.
Low Indigo has been bubbling and re-surfacing..
4 official events this year, gradually (re)building in scale and visibility. many un-official / below radar events, seeding further things to surface. a handful of silent event collobarations as well, to varying degrees, helping facilitate some growth and expansion and other visions become crystalized.
some announcements for further scaling up & out in 2024 soon..
there is evidence on the low indigo instagram and a few traces in the fb community as well.
New New Mixs and New Older Mixs on Soundcloud
after many months of filtering through the srchives - a good couple handful of older mixs from various eras have been posted to the soundcloud. some are re-posts that were missing for a few years after a somewhat accidental soundcloud purge, and some are never=heard-before mixs from the vaults.
this was in partial preperation for some brand new mixs to be shared. one of which has already gone up: true self mix
low indigo 012
happy to announce 'smoke mountain' is out today. a oollab between myself and synkro, together with remixs from eli muro, jade statues, and self evident. also featuring "slow video" from jason mannings. folks can grab on bandcamp and most other stores and streaming sites. vid up on youtube as well.
slope's obsidian EP + track give away
slope's slow-burning obsidian ep is out now on low indigo. grab the music and get all the info here. thanks beatroute and lastdaydeaf for the nods. check out the free track from slope & kline loosely paired with the release, and also the perfectly alligned video from corinthian.
9 of cats videos
a belated announce about the moving abstract videos giorgio magnanensi created for the 9 of cats release this past march. was an effortless pleasure to get together with giorgio on this. thank you
next EP announced for low indigo
9 OF CATS EP
coming APRIL 8 on all channels (bandcamp, itunes, juno, beatport, spotify, etc)
including videos for each song by giorgio magnanensi
tracklisting:
1 - why
2 - gwey from
3 - slow motion
4 - sirens
here's a piece of the write-up:
'gwey from' is an expression on the current state of earth. it views the more destructive side, earthquakes, large scale catastrophe, violence and suffering, .....and the massive aching beauty of it all. a world dying, swirling and collapsing into itself, while a world is re-born. the sound of evolution in progress and an even larger hope. gwey is "go away" in patois. so the literal translation "go away from" is an example of the basic ignorance that brought this current world to it's destructive end, but also an example of transcendence beyond literal language and feeling the correct meaning (new ways in a new world).
next low indigo release
okpk's ep is dropping in a matter of days. a lot of folks who hands on the pre release are buzzing about it.
winnie cooper just premiered the video, exclaim did a nice little piece on it as well, undone gave it some love, and a few radio stations are doing some featured interviews on it. check the cjsw bit here while the stream lasts (next up are victoria and montreal based campus radio stations) .
cats only club to celebrate this friday at the rattle. always a good time.
available on bandcamp, itunes, juno, beatport and all other major retailers.
..as we continue
low indigo news..
momemtums and navigations have started to level out a bit for low indigo as a label now. started with the bandcamp, then moved up to some proper distro which promptly folded just a few months in, then the following re-calibration, new distro, now smoothing out and approaching glide mode there. quite soon, if not already, all low indigo releases should be available on all the major retailers like itunes, juno, beatport, etc. ..and remain on bandcamp as well.
future release schedules, mists taking shape:
in less then a month we'll have okpk's latest 'hollow' ep out, paired with video curtosy of laine butler. cats only club / ep release party for that'll be friday feb 12 at a familiar location (stay tuned).
in march will be a 4 song EP from me, '9 of cats'. long time vancouver experimental music community shaper giorgio magnanensi has created four outstanding videos for that. one is in 3D even.
and in spring, slope is putting the final touches on his debut EP for the label, with long time collabortaor corinthian on deck for the video.
preperations are being made for a compilation slotted for late spring. some familiar names to label already, and some new ones. stay tuned!
..and lastly, as a nice cherry-on-top to the new year and fresh energies that come with - just caught wind of the lovely label spotlight piece FREQ printed in september. some months later, but the timing is actually perfect. thanks FREQ!
