Escaped Language

Helicopter

***Recorded during Ina/GRM’s 2016 Présences Électronique Festival in Paris, JOHN WIESE's Escaped Language is a concise and calculated piece which slowly evolved in various settings over a number of years. While 2015’s Deviate From Balance 2xLP was expansive and chronicled performances and work employing many other musicians, here Wiese dissects and reassembles portions of his vocabulary alone. Simultaneously dense and sparse, delicate and abrasive, free and tactical, the resulting recording stands as a substantial document of his approach to sound, twenty-five years into his prolific tenure.

Mirror

***A minimal and mesmerizing piece of real-time tape music exploring stark and brutal elements for absolute immersion. Mirror is simultaneously the extended soundtrack for a new video work by JOHN WIESE and a reissue of the long sold-out Tumbler LP (No Fun Productions 2006), remastered for playback intensity and with all new visuals.
