prOphecy sun – Breaking Heat [RDP 013] Digital single
19 Mar
prOphecy sun is East Vancouver’s noise darling – a siren who creates ghostly, looping vocal drones and free style field recordings, with breathing & throat singing, a handmade theremin and a knapsack full of small musical objects. http://prophecysun.ca/
prOphecy sun is a multimedia performance artist. Her practice is based in sound, movement and emotional driven experiments. She has a passion in shared community practices, with an emphasis on the body in dialogue with the community at large. She performs solo, in collaboration, and in collective projects. She sings solo as prOphecy sun. Also she plays in Tyranahorse, Spell, Her Jazz Noise Collective, Under the Sun, The Adulthood, and VEE (Vancouver Electronic Ensemble). She also dances in Dance Troupe Practice and So So So. Mostly, she enjoys riding on her road bike Mr. Falcon around East Vancouver and being a mom to four lovely cats.
“Breaking Heat” is the first single being released by Ramshackle Day Parade Records, “side b” features a remix of the track from Bong Sample.
prOphecy sun, in her prolific creativity, made this video to go along with the piece.
Holzkopf – Child Of The 90s [RDP_011]
31 JanHolzkopf is known as a sort of god around these parts, his influence on the scene in Edmonton has been great on many levels. Respect is due. Here on Child of the 90s, there is the signature Holzkopf sound, dirty beats, layered and fed through feedback, backwards samples and bass so fat it will make your mom look skinny. Holzkopf has always been heavy on the beats, but this album is weighs a ton (like your mom).
