Releasenotes:
A few years ago now, we decided that we wanted Home Normal to evolve into more
film work alongside our music releases. It has been a long-held dream in truth,
but we needed the right project to pop up before we could take the plunge. Step
in, Orla Wren.
The work of Orla Wren caught our ears, eyes, and hearts with his fantastic
release on one of our favourite Japanese labels: Flau. The One Two Bird and The
Half Horse (flau, 2009) was a beautiful album of tender organically produced
electronic sounding music. When he wrote to us a couple of years ago now, about
releasing his latest opus with us we were thrilled. Over time the project
evolved into working with a common collaborator, namely, Urban9. Previously he
had worked with us on both Nicolas Bernier releases, as well as Ian Hawgood's
own release 'Enfants Ruraux'. We also quickly decided that this would be the
project to really play with the packaging and presentation, seeing just how far
we could go.
The end result is 'Book of the Folded Forest'. The album is presented in an 8
panel, CD and DVD package, with 6 unique matte-coated double-sided cards, and an
uncoated beautiful A3 poster, all designed by Urban9 himself included in each,
as well as featuring 7 films by awarding winning directors. Lumacell, Joey
Bania, The New Honeyshade, Tippi Tillvind, Elise Baldwin, and Skinofthetree have
produced an astonishing set of films which will only be available in this
package. You can watch the Joey Bania and Lumacell films at the following links
