Two Ontarians came together and created the awesomest new musical instrument??

One guy is a musician from Ottawa and has been toying with the design of a new instrument for 30 years, then he met a clockmaker and woodworker from Guelph who was eager to make this instrument a reality.

And it's absolutely beautiful. It's cylindrical and played with a bow, 10 equally spaced strings that you bow in different spots to change tensions and make a sound.

And the genius of it musically, is that it's cyclical so as you keep rotating the cylinder, you come back round to the first notes you struck (if you keep your bow still), and so you get these rhythmic, periodic repeating patterns that sound really ethereal, calming and hypnotic.

Apparently it made some listeners cry, and I was surprised before hearing it. Skilled playing can make people cry, sure. Melodies, harmonies, all that stuff, definitely. The open instrument itself? If you just eyeballed bowing a cello you'd drive people far away, I'd reckon. I certainly would.

But I saw a clip of it in action, I can definitely see it now.

They called the instrument Fron2. A new Canadian musical instrument!

Full commitment.

#op1field sampled instruments looping in various iteration on the usual suspects on the pedalboard, particularly proud of how the grit added by #generationlossmkii interacts with the filter on #chaseblissblooper. Also #chromaconsole melts my brain. New music out, link in bio.

James Osland & Andrew Heath: Industrial Breathing ( Elysian Fields ).

"Industrial Breathing," a collaboration between James Osland and Andrew Heath, is a piece that lies at the intersection of experimental ambient and industrial soundscapes. From the very first moments, the track immerses the listener in an acoustic environment brimming with textures and layers that evoke a world where the mechanical and the organic coexist. The artists craft a fascinating balance between natural sounds, such as subtle echoes and spatial resonances, and artificial elements, like hums and electronic pulses. This contrast invites the listener to reflect on the interaction between humanity and its constructed environment.

The piece develops at a deliberately slow pace, with a structure that seems to emulate the rhythm of a living machine, breathing in a measured cadence. The music unfolds with an unsettling calmness, where every sound, no matter how minimal, serves a clear purpose within the narrative. The electronic elements, rather than dominating, are integrated with a minimalist approach, creating an immersive experience that demands attention and patience. The sonic textures create an atmosphere that could be described as cold and distant, yet profoundly engaging at the same time.

The interaction between the two artists is evident in the cohesion of the elements that make up "Industrial Breathing." While James Osland brings a keen sensitivity to sonic details and ambient modulations, Andrew Heath contributes a subtle yet effective melodic approach, emerging as a whisper amidst the denser layers of the track. The piece doesn’t aim to appeal directly to emotions but instead invites a more intellectual and reflective experience, where the listener becomes an explorer of a soundscape that blends introspection with environmental perception.

Deepspace again...

Today we return to this incredible ambient album.

You can get lost in these sounds… One of the most interesting tracks is the album's closing track, "Just a Pill and All This Will Stop", with its delicate, mysterious female vocals.
