STAR'S END: Jason Sloan live-to-air (excerpt) 25 August 2019

Published on Aug 26, 2019 Chuck van Zyl

"Jason Sloan's secret pleasure may be of the Berlin-School variety. His clean lined minimalism delivers a potent atmosphere of mechanized machine mystery and dreaming, breathing idyll - filling the mind in four dimensions. With a powerful intellectual undercurrent coursing beneath his realizations, his music urgently pushes into darkness. Slow melodies offer vague narrative, but only its receiver knows whatever drama this work may tell. As a pulsing echoing energy occupies the center of our attention, breathing chords extend and recede, and deepen our mental journey. While a steadily turning sequencer pulse drives a linear flow, and Sloan's power of imagination takes us on unexpected excursions. From primitive utterances lost in the night, and passages of sound horde stillness, to cycling, circling tone patterns moving steadily outward - he implies formal and spatial boundlessness... resulting in an endless, formless thought zone.

Crumar Looking to Produce a New Synth

Pictured: the Crumar Seven digital piano.

It appears Crumar is getting back into synths:

"Hi everybody. The time has come, we're approaching our first synthesizer, but things have changed quite a bit since the old Crumar made their last known synth, the Spirit. We'd like to start from where our ancestors stopped. To do so, we need your help. Please take this short survey (click the link above), just a few questions to help us understand your preferences. This would be the best starting point for us.
Thank you all."

You can find the questionnaire here.
