12k is very happy to announce the much-asked-for and long-awaited re-release of not only one of the
label's most popular and critically acclaimed albums but one of highlights of the entire microsound genre:
Shuttle358 Frame.
Complete with the original recording and video, Frame has been repackaged for 12k's Limited Series into a
unique chipboard sleeve on which all graphics and text are printed only with white ink. The re-issue of this
classic album will give a new generation of 12k followers a listen to one of the labelÆs most defining
moments.
The orignal press-release text (from 12k1011, Shuttle358 Frame):
Frame is the much anticipated follow up release to 1999Æs debut optimal.lp, a compact disc which caused
quite a bit of critical stir as a very impressive and original work for a new artist. Dan Abrams (aka:
shuttle358) seamlessly blends stark textures/drones with digital disfunction. Clicks, skips and tiny
mechanized rhythms intertwine in hypnotic form that Abrams allows to evolve in a very organic way.
Frame picks up where optimal.lp left off. a bit more distant with excursions into deeper realms of AbramsÆ
signature skittish minimalist rhythmic work.
Frame includes a video, filmed and directed Abrams himself, in DVCAM for the opening title track of the
album. It is available on the cd in Quicktime format, as well as a separate high-res VHS release (12k9004).
The use of movement and abstracted forms along with a subtle color palette of whites, blues and yellows
is a perfect visual accompaniment to the fragile rhythms of his work.
Dan Abrams ù "If you put an empty frame against a blank wall, you suddenly notice the the color, the
patterns, the imperfections in the plaster. The frame is like a window of perception. It takes the wall outside
time. The frame draws attention to what is within itùit magnifies it, you focus on it, it begins to symbolize
the whole wall."
