Once we were all here and nowhere else

by Andrew Heath and James Osland

supported by

Roland Pyle This is a superb collaboration between two of my favourite artists. There's a subtly and depth to each track that shines through.

Scott everything Andrew does is gold and James' work is terrific as well - what a pairing! instant buy, no preview needed. a perfect surprise gift to myself for my hundred-and-eleventy-seventh birthday next month :-P (ETA I love how the album ends with birdsong) Favorite track: The Space between Happiness and Sadness.

about

This stunning collaboration between Andrew Heath and James Osland is overwhelmingly informed by both a dense, drifting landscape and a love of process - a slow tone collage. Here lies beauty and delicacy - an intimate tracery of piano notes and modular tones woven between field recordings, organic electronics and shimmering guitar. ‘Once we were all here and nowhere else’ hardly dares to breathe sometimes, as it leaves you suspended in the quiet, shinning air.

James and Andrew were drawn together by a mutual respect for each others work in the ambient music field. Both are UK based artists. Andrew having released several albums and EPs on Disco Gecko, Whitelabrecs, Rusted Tone Recordings, Elm Records and Chihei Hatakeyama’s Japanese label, White Paddy Mountain. He has collaborated with among others, the legendary Hans-Joachim Roedelius, Dutch ambient guitarist, Anne Chris Bakker and electronica artist, Banco de Gaia. James Osland not only runs the boutique cassette label, Elm Records but releases as an artist in his own right having worked with such labels as Unknown Tone Records, Whitelabrecs, Flaming Pines and Rusted Tone Recordings to name a few. His work seeks to explore our relationships with sound, memory and place through a variety of different sonic processes.

Both artists have been quietly working on material together for the last few years so expect more from this wellspring of beautiful and dreamlike work.

Take the shimmering guitars of the Cocteau Twins, dilate and lengthen with the wistfulness of Boards of Canada and release them like one of Robert Rich’s haunting soundscapes with a jazz coda and you have Carlo Giustini's 'Custodi'. It's brilliant. sepulchre19
