//CITY.CENTER.US.TOUR.DATES
City Center is the duo of Fred Thomas and Ryan Howard, members of the currently-shelved K Records band Saturday Looks Good To Me. Condensing Thomas’ intricate songwriting with processed samples and heady vocal effects, City Center focuses on the realms of bedroom lo-fi and ethereal pop. In an interview with The Deli, Thomas and Howard said City Center congealed in 2007, having “rose out of the time-honored scenario of living in New York and not being able to pay rent on a practice space, [thus] switching from traditional rock instrumentation to headphone-based/created music.” After several limited-run releases, including a gorgeous 7-inch split with Grouper, City Center released a self-titled full-length LP (TMT Review) on Type records last year. Thomas and Howard will play a few Midwest shows before kicking off their most extensive tour to date.

//THANK.YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The April issue of The Wire officially goes on sale today.  Included with every issue is the Wire Tapper 23 CD which features Aaron Martin’s piece ‘Water Tongue’ from his new album ‘Worried About The Fire‘ on Experimedia.  You will also find on the CD a contribution from one of our distributed artists/labels Anduin from the label SMTG Limited. Be sure to connect with The Wire on Twitter and Facebook.

Some days while packing orders I get really sentimental and tonight felt the need to share after 4ish hours of packing orders…. how much all this means to me… and how much every order, every supporter, every mention, every blogger, every reviewer, means to me.  I cant even express the amount of satisfaction I get while packing these orders after getting home from a long day at the 9to5… thinking to myself… how this music I love, with all that I am is passing from my hands to like minded individuals all over the world who will enjoy and treasure this music as I do.  While I dont find much time to tell each of you personally… and to many of you I am probably just a website… I truly do feel connected to you through this beautiful music we all love.  I know I know… I am being a sentimental sap… but I just had to get that out because it has been hitting me pretty heavy quite often while packing orders lately.  Thanks you to everyone involved with this music, fans, artists, writers, labels, etc, for bringing meaning to my life.  You are what keeps me going everyday. -Jeremy

//fluid-radio.co.uk
The cello is arguably the most diverse of stringed instruments, offering depth and moody basses to convey doom and foreboding sounds, while still maintaining the ability to transmit music of hope and immense beauty wrapped in a rich melancholy. Over the last year the experimental, modern classical scene has been treated with a healthy body of cellists with David Darling lending his talents to Dakota Suite’s “The End of Trying,” Hildur Gudnadottir releasing “Without Sinking” on Touch and Danny Norbury’s “Light In August” all some of the highlights. Returning in 2010 for his fourth solo album, Aaron Martin, the Australian born, Kansas based multi-instrumentalist, releases “Worried About The Fire,” an album certain to be noted in this year’s collective of cello recordings. Originally conceived as the soundtrack to a short film, the album is actually a deconstruction of previous solo and collaborative recordings, meshed together with electronic sounds and post production processing. It is an album that slowly lures you in. Starting with downright dark, hypnotic drones, “Albee” is an unnerving opening laced with subtle string sounds over a looping humming of noise. It’s a track that offers no clues as to what will follow, and indeed the set-up of harmonica, banjo, organ and bell sounds that feature on this album throughout bring an ambiguity to the overall sound. If Aaron Martin does have a trademark amongst his ongoing expansion of sound, it is with his layered, loop-based compositions. The first hint of this is on “Open Knife” a beautifully detailed cello composition showcasing the full range of delivery of the instrument. “Water Tongue” allures the listener, highlighting the depth of sound Martin evokes from his cello playing, with the warmth of his slow low notes juxtaposed with fast rhythms as his bow scatters over the higher ones. While these tracks perhaps define the Aaron Martin sound, and are indeed the most accessible to listen to, the album is rich with very dark, often unsettling music that never detract from the album’s overall composition. A standout track perhaps is “Beaver Falls” which builds slowly from a layering of strings and wind sounds to launch seamlessly into a cinematic scoping of cello. It conveys images of chases through forests (at least with me!), and exemplifies what this album is all about. Mastered by 12k label head Taylor Dupree, there is an intimate sound here, and often one can picture themselves being in the same room with Aaron Martin as he joins all his music together. Overall the crafting of each track is reflective of the album as a whole and just as Martin has been able to successfully layer a multitude of different instruments, “Worried About The Fire” stands as a meshing between darkness and light; proving chaos can exist in the most graceful surroundings. -By Josh Atkin

//bleep.com
Machinefabriek/ Sunn O))) collaborator Aaron Martin is back on disc agin with this stunning solo effort packaged in a scintillating DVD style card slipcase and naturally limited quantities available. Worried About The Fire was originally conceived as a soundtrack piece composed of cello, guitar, banjo and piano, now through the wall of heavily processed electronics do these instruments bleed, leaving us enchanted by a thick haze of sound. Tip for fans of Richard Skelton, Hildur Gudnadottir.

//tokafi.com
The cover of Aaron Martin’s fourth full-length album, Worried About the Fire, depicts a row of bare trees under an icy snowfall. The picture is a perfect indicator of the music within—chilly and eerie drones of bowed cello, harmonica, humming sounds, and samples altered beyond recognition quietly encircle one another in dark and beautiful miniatures that together create a dark and evocative work. Most of the pieces are built around a single droning note, from which other timbres slowly stretch to create beats of dissonance. As additional alien sounds enter the sonic palette—a note bowed over the bridge or fingerboard to create a natural sense of distortion with overtones, glissing harmonics chopped up and manipulated, canons of sawing strings—the listener becomes engulfed in a dark and textural world. All but one of the pieces clock in at less than 4 minutes, but each manages to suspend one’s perception of time so that every composition constitutes its own miniature journey. “Blue Light” floats electronics and breathing sounds moving between the speakers while strings sift weightlessly through a sea of reverb. In “Albee,” a sound reminiscent of a tiny helicopter circles dreamily around delay-heavy hits of a vibraphone-like instrument. “Water Tongue,” easily the least droning of the compositions, layers emotional folk-like cello melodies over a descending bassline, As high-string tremolos fade in and out with the quiet scratch of bows scraping against bridges, the piece delicately snowballs to a sustained moment of icy ecstasy. It’s no surprise that Worried About the Fire was originally conceived as a soundtrack to a short film. The music seems a perfect accompaniment to a ghostly snowfall or a sedate but disturbing dream sequence. These are experiences as much as they are pieces. While the album as a whole delicately builds to a number of climaxes—the relentlessly looped strings ¾ into “Marked In Dust,” the intensely building 8th note cello figures that close “Beaver Falls”—much of the music has a floating, aimless quality that makes for psychologically sonic textures more than narrative pieces. As abstract as much of Worried About the Fire is, the album makes for an engaging and beautiful listen that consumes you in its textural world. The fact that the pieces are similarly constructed results in a uniform listen where each composition floats into the next while at the same time standing uniquely alone. A score for a film that may or may not exist, Worried About the Fire makes for a deeply and evocative experience that conjures plenty of images of its own. -By Hannis Brown

Aaron Martin – Worried About The Fire
“By now it’s probably safe to stop introducing Aaron Martin with references to his prior collaborations with Machinefabriek and the like (oh darn, I’ve just done it anyway); he’s become a major player on the improvised electroacoustic scene in his own right, and Worried About The Fire is his fourth album. The cellist and all-round one-man soundscape devised this new collection of works as a score to a short film, and finds him shirking his usual live approach in favour of processed, electronically edited material. This doesn’t interfere with the language of Martin’s music (the cello, banjo, organ and harmonica constituent parts remain key) but it does give Martin the opportunity to work in a more composerly fashion than his usual style would dictate, stripping the music of its emphasis on realtime layering and the structural limitations that implies. The album begins in a tentative fashion, spinning a percussive drone through a phaser on ‘Albee’, before ‘Ice Melts Onto Fingers’ deconstructs the atmospherics with bells, cymbals and a kind of minimal harmonica fanfare. It’s only by ‘Open Knife’ that Martin’s recognisable musical idiom reveals itself, and from here on the string arrangements really start to flow, from the quiveringly melodic majesty of ‘Water Tongue’ to the suspenseful discord of ‘Reed Tunnel’, complete with bowed saw. The album’s twists and turns make for an always-compelling sequence, and Worried About The Fire is almost certainly Martin’s most in-depth and varied long-player to date; ‘Wires Of Glass’ finds him spinning through loops of vinyl crackle and choirs of meandering, wordless vocals, while elsewhere you encounter the likes of ‘Blue Light’, whose mysterious, dissolved plucks sound like a piano being played somewhere in the blurry distance. ‘Beaver Falls’ (presumably a place name rather than a prompter for aquatic mammal schadenfreude) proves to be exceptionally beautiful too, filling its three-minutes with slippery, multilayered high frequency glissandos that eventually cement into rhythmically urgent bowing figures. The recording is such that it sounds as if Martin started out the piece at the back of the room, before eventually making his way towards the mic for a dramatic finale. There’s much to absorb here, and Worried About The Fire makes a strong case for being Martin’s most assured and mature statement to date. The polish on the finished product is commendable too – Taylor Deupree handles the audio mastering while the opulent, oversized digipak ensures this is a finely dressed release to boot.” – Boomkat

An interesting audio interview with Aaron Martin from Radio6 NL.

http://radio6.nl/index.php?tag=special

aaron-martin-special audio interview

Toen Aaron Martin op zijn zeventiende naar Topeka, in Kansas, verhuisde was dat ook het moment dat hij besloot om muziek te gaan studeren met als hoofdvak cello. Dat hij vervolgens zelf ging componeren was een logische stap. Hiervoor gebruikt hij naast de cello verder als klankbronnen o.a. ukelele, geluid makend speelgoed, melodica, banjo, glöckenspiel, piano en zijn stem. Met behulp van een loop pedaal legt hij vervolgens diverse melodielijnen laag op laag. Aaron Martin maakt op deze manier sferische muziek die je als ideale soundtracks zou kunnen zien. Het zijn composities die tussen soundscapes en folky ambient te plaatsen zijn. Een overeenkomst die hij deelt met muzikanten als Greg Haines en Ethan Rose.

Naast een samenwerking met Machinefabriek maakte hij drie volwaardige cd’s voor Preservation: in 2006 kwam ‘Almond’ uit, in 2008 volgde ‘River Water’, en eind 2009 ‘Chautauqua’. Albums vol stijlvolle melodieuze instrumentale stukken waarin zijn persoonlijke ervaringen en herinneringen een belangrijke rol spelen. Aaron Martin’s vierde cd ‘Worried about the Fire’ die bij Experimedia uitkomt, is de filmmuziek die hij maakte voor de film ‘Marked In Dust’.

snow tales
released february 15, 2010
“Recorded and written in two days whilst the snow was falling outside my house. Each track, even though bundled in an E P is its own seperate entity and relates to different times of the day, different snowy weather conditions and consequently different emotion. I hope you enjoy it.” – Clem
