*new* IOD 009 - segue - in with the out, old with the new
'Into the Fall' out April 2009 on Slow Flow Rec - my first LP!
this first compilation features 14 different contributions from artists living all over the world. the idea for the compilation grew out of a deep appreciation for music and the emotional influence it has on us. each artist was approached because of his/her unique sound aesthetic - they were not confined by a central theme or concept. the end result is a collage of sonic landscapes: warm tones, field recordings, drones, textures, digitized and analogue events, and other mysterious occurrences.
db listen comes in a handmade cardboard sleeve designed by starshaped press using antique metal and wood type.

segue is Jordan Sauer from Vancouver, Canada, currently residing in Washington D.C.. His sound is a patchwork of textures and tones with a focus on the interplay of timbre. These sounds are created through the blending of various instruments (12-string acoustic and electric guitar, piano, violin, melodica, various percussive drums and instruments, didgeridoo, childrens toys), incidental found sounds and field recordings. Being a lover of all music, his approach to music/sound composition is constantly evolving.
great new track Jordan! What a great progression and texture. Building in intensity throughout it's entirety. I really like the cuts at the end where parts of the texture are just suddenly removed. Really nice, kudos! Warmest regards, SJF
dear Jordan, hope that you are enjoying a beautiful and inspiring autumn weekend! sorry for my long absences....please keep in touch as i'd love to show my support for your amazing music!! heading out the shirlington october fest then to a d.c. united game. ironically, i think i'd rather stay home, catch a buzz and try to be creative, and/or walk around in my garden. soon, k
Hello Jordan, thanks for your kind words. Your support has always been very important for me. You're a great artist, and your last sounds on IOD prove it again ! I've already download it ;-) Tell me when you want to work on something with me. I think at the present time my inspiration go away. But it will be better in a few weeks. Keep in touch when you're ready.
