Present Sounds Recordings is very happy to announce the release of a new album (CD and Digital) by Anne La Berge and Tom Baker entitled SAND.

Listen here: https://presentsounds.bandcamp.com/album/sand

These two electronic artists began recording and performing together in 2013, setting the stage for this deeply collaborative project.

Recorded in both Amsterdam and Seattle, the album melds their unique performance and compositional styles into a sound experience that is strange and exciting, reflective and raucous, direct and expansive, all at the same time.

With Baker on electric guitar, theremin, and a suite of analog and digital effects in his live-performance rig, and La Berge on flute, voice, and live electronics including Kyma and Max, the music flows with international and intergalactical good vibes.

We hope you enjoy this new release, and while you are there check out the whole Present Sounds catalog.

Cheers!

Celebrating the release of YIJU 移居 - a new disc by Seattle composer/performance artist Byron Au Yong. A really intense recording of dreams, memories and traces of the past by composer/performer Byron Au Yong.

From The Stranger: "YIJU 移居 is an orrery of memory, an attempt to chart the composer's recollections and speculations about his musician grandfather who emigrated from China in the 1930s. What kind of music might they have made together?" – Christopher DeLaurenti, The Stranger

Hope you can check it out, hear some samples, and buy the disc. Proud and happy to have Byron on the PS artist roster! Congrats on the great record Byron.

Listen to and buy Byron Au Yong music on CD Baby. Download or buy the CD Yiju by Byron Au Yong on the independent record store by musicians for musicians.
