Stephen Spera: nuova uscita in edizione limitata

STEPHEN SPERA - 4 {H2O}
3"CD Parvoart parvo 005

for most of us, a highlight in our memories of childhood is often feature a trip to the seaside. although new york-based sound artist stephen spera's first release for [ parvoart ] 4 {H2O} is ostensibly dedicated to the life sustaining substance (the dhmo.org hoax notwithstanding), the aged blue-green photography, dream-like production and track titles point more to a homage to the memory of those childhood seaside excursions.

using a full array of production techniques with everything from old tape decks and analogue effects and devices to the most cutting edge software, stephen immerses us in a melange of field recordings, aquatic piano and hazy tones and melodies that very effectively evokes both the blurry reverie and sometimes unsettling disorientation dreams or memories involving water often contain.

the aural tapestry stephen has created is certainly worthy of brian eno's definition of ambient music - superficial enough to serve as a pleasant backdrop, but rich enough in detail to make deep listening worthwhile.

suffice to say stephen spera has a CV as long as your arm. he has played guitar, keyboards and electronics in many successful rock bands, and has been making music for over two decades, becoming an established name in the NYC art scene and friend of fellow artists such as william basinski and kenneth kirschner. he is also a photographer, painter, and installation artist with many pieces in permanent collections such as the museum of modern art in NYC and getty museum in LA. his site www.myspace.com/stephenspera contains his music as well as some of the many of the objects from his personal museum, the musee vache - a museum of the curious and esoteric, and is well worth a visit, as well as www.stephenspera.com for photos, graphics and design items.

as an enthusiastic supporter of [ parvoart ] from our inception, it is with great pleasure that he now becomes our first american ambassador with a release we sure will give you equally great pleasure too.

the release is limited to 50 copies. a track recorded around the time of the same sessions as 4 {H2O}, on the marshes, is also available for free download at parvoart.org
