TSANGARIS, MANOS - UNLOCK THE STILLNESS (12")

"UNLOCK THE STILLNESS is the first release on FLYINGEGGS, a label of the new production company basic tone, which specialises in groovy, idiosyncratic beats. Switch off all machines, take a blank sheet of paper and wait - that's what Manos Tsangaris calls his "little exercise". A process to bundle thoughts and put them on paper. Such as the lyrics of the new EP UNLOCK THE STILLNESS, which combine rhythmically flowing with poetic intensity and serenity with the sounds of peculiar instruments. Such as an antique water boiler, a baking tray or the inside of the Blüthner grand piano. In fact, not a single drumbeat was recorded. The studio itself and its interior served as material and source of the percussive flow. This expansion and simultaneous concentration of means opens up undreamed-of soundscapes. " (label info)
