{"product_id":"various-artists-xkatedral-anthology-series-iii","title":"Various Artists - Xkatedral Anthology Series III","description":"\u003cp\u003eXKatedral Anthology Series III is the third installment in a series of archival releases dedicated to presenting music by composers working within the realm of slowly evolving harmonic and timbral music. The pieces presented here focus on the use of synthetic and acoustic sound as well as algorithmic composition as tools for precise work within the realm of spectral exploration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis double-vinyl set is issued in celebration of the label’s decennalia and contains works from 2014 - 2025. It is released in conjunction with reissues of XKatedral Anthology Series I-II.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMy Falling Sinks by Kali Malone is a sparse descending melody for justly tuned organ, cello and acoustic guitar featuring Lucy Railton and Stephen O’Malley. The piece is a compositional sketch in septimal just intonation made on an experimental tuning organ at La Temple de La Tour-de-Peilz while in residency at La Becque in 2021.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEmpyrean Flare by Maria W Horn was composed in 2022 for The Dawn Chorus by choreographer Stina Nyberg. This piece uses the Tintinnabuli technique created by Arvo Pärt to animate four supersaw oscillators in slow diatonic arpeggiation, circling around a minor tonic triad, and destabilizing the harmonic framework by means of glissandi and amplifying the sum of its parts by means of analog tape saturation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTessellation by David Granström was composed using generative synthesis methods in the summer of 2017. The musical periodicity and harmonic movement heard within the piece emerges as a result of fixed synthesized tape loops - exploring a space that opens up between antithetical worlds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo Whoever Shall Inherit the Earth is the first piece of solo music made by Jessica Ekomane and it came together, according to the composer, almost by accident. The work was recorded late one night a decade ago and captures a fleeting, fragile, and unrepeatable moment preserved exactly as it happened.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSmoking Mother by Stephen O’Malley was created for Gisèle Vienne’s Der Teich \/ L’Etang by Robert Walser. It was composed during a residency at the SMEM synthesis archive in Fribourg in 2018 and produced at EMS in August 2020. The piece draws from the works of Zia Mohuiddin Dagar, Krzysztof Penderecki and Popol Vuh while exploring the roots of minimalism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAtt böja själarna by Mats Erlandsson was composed in 2018 and was included in On Eternity, a collection of four texts and four ten minute cassette loops released in the form of a limited edition box set in 2021 by Irrlicht Förlag. This work features performances by Gaianeh Pilossian and Sara Fors, on violin and voice respectively.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis will be my last piece for organ was composed by Theodor Kentros in 2025 and uses groups of clustered oscillators through resonant feedback to synthesize the fluctuating frequencies heard wandering through physical space when detuning an organ.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFault Lines was composed by Daniel M Karlsson using generative methods with a deterministic and finite output solidified for this release. This piece features vocal performances by Sara Fors, Ansis Bētiņš and Artūrs Čukurs.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"XKATEDRAL (IDEOLOGIC ORGAN)","offers":[{"title":"Limited Edition 2LP","offer_id":56839635206488,"sku":"TKM-33068","price":34.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4266\/0184\/files\/e759f803064a45b2bec1e562f5542372.jpg?v=1772710198","url":"https:\/\/truckmusic.store\/products\/various-artists-xkatedral-anthology-series-iii","provider":"Truck","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
