The Slow Music Movement Blog

​Mostly we put our daily recommendations here for the blog readers among you, although occasionally we go longform.
Reading about music is a bit like looking at pictures of food - not nearly half as much fun as getting involved, so we scribble a brief intro to hopefully whet your appetite but you're better off just hitting play. Not very "slow" I know but there's a lot of music to check these days & hopefully you'll find the recommendations a handy filter.
​Trust your ears, not opinions.

Singles & EPs Round Up - 25th August, 2022

הפרי הראשון | אייל זוסמן - Eyal Zusman - THE FIRST FRUIT (Self Release)

Vertical Divider
I've been keeping half an eye on Zusman for a while now as he's got an interesting line in hypnotic Israeli roots music, but he's only gone all Balearic house with his latest offering as he combines the evocative vocals and sound palette of his homeland with some organic, loose house production. Make sure you request this one at your favourite beach bar before the summer is out.
​
​You can also check it in the eclectic Slow House playlist.

Deru - The Way Through The Forest (Friends Of Friends)

Programming his own software to hack a Yamaha Disklavier piano to induce rather than reproduce a performance as originally intended, Deru has  conjured up a perfectly imperfect slice of neoclassical music where unusual patterns swim in the sounds of the piano's overloaded  sonic distress. Recorded in an abandoned missile silo for good measure, with the haunting video highlighting humanities disregard for our home a perfect and poignant visual accompaniment.
Check the Slow Neoclassical playlist for more modern composition.

derek Piotr - "Yes, They All Sing" (Nathan Salsburg Version) [Self Release]

Vertical Divider
Two suitably wayward remixes of a track from Derek Piotr's equally wayward recent Alt-alt-folk LP. First off Salzburg grabs the hypnotic guitar motif & dials down the surrounding noise to great ambient acid folk effect, whilst Machinefabriek dials up the abstract ambient electronica, throws in some keys leaving the guitar struggling for air. Both are worth your time, but the Salsburg remix nicks it for me and is currently the opening track on the Slow Psyche playlist.

Vanishing Twin - Tub Erupt (Fire Records)

Another remix single worth your time, this one taken from the excellent (previously TSMM recommended) LP - Ookil Gekkou, as Cavern of Antimatter start off in familiar territory before drifting off into whimsical psychedelic ambient indulgence for 6 minutes. On the "flip" the Impossible Square remix injects some added attitude to the somewhat genteel post punk strains of the original.
