Releasenotes:
Islands Of Light is the work of Vienna-based artist Dino Spiluttini. He is the
founder of Beatismurder Records and the co-founder of Total Light Records, as
well as being a superb designer, illustrator, and photographer. He recently
released a superb split release with our mutual friend, Nils Quak, on the
excellent Umor Rex label, and later in the year he will be releasing with Jehu &
Chinaman.
His work as Islands Of Light is a wholly different affair from the irreverent
drone work under his own name, with piano being the main base for his
beautifully tender and rustic sound. "Ruebke" is the sound of season's change,
of shorter days and longer nights, of the hush of autumn as it takes its hold.
As the beauteous distorted elements and graininess takes it hold, the piano
melodies slow everything down to a turn of constant low light and fragile
quietude.
After a period of adjustments and careful editing, "Ruebke" was finally mastered
in June 2014, a particularly heavy rainy season here in Japan. Outside our house
is a beautiful river that rises to a height that from our studio we can see that
patter of raindrops slowly work their magic on the river's raised surface. As I
listened to the final masters whirl away on a very lovely reel-to-reel, the
tubes glowed, the reels wobbled as they have a tendency to, and the rain
continued. It was one of those rare moments where everything just fit; a moment
of timeless perfection. This encompasses exactly what Islands Of Light's
"Ruebke" achieves through its melodic developments and grainy surfaces; the
sound of the soul's ardour.
