Named for the scientific terms that define the three methods of
heat transfer, Conduction. Convection. Radiation. is the third
edition in the Music FellowshipÆs Triptych Series, which
combines EP-length recordings from three like-minded bands on a
single CD. Electronic, minimalist, and post-rock music is much
maligned for being ôcold,ö implying the style of composition is
more rooted in technique and complexity than the heart.
Conduction. Convection. Radiation combines three artists who
destroy that stereotype.
1 Mile North is Jon Hills on guitar and Mark Bajuk on
synthesizers. Hills' ability to shape subtle melodies out of
abstract structures blends beautifully with BajukÆs masterful
playing of a diverse collection of analogue synthesizers.
Colophon is the solo project of TarentelÆs Jefre Cantu-Ledesma.
ColophonÆs music builds off CantuÆs droning guitar work in
Tarentel, but deconstructs it, leaving only the bare essence.
The Wind-Up Bird is Joe Grimm sometimes accompanied by Jeff
Smith. On their 2nd album, Whips, on the Music Fellowship,
Grimm used his Powerbook, guitar, vocals, violin, and horns to
musically interpret a post-breakup voicemail message, creating
a luxuriant dark dream and a revelatory song suite.
Praise for previous 1 Mile North, Colophon & Wind-Up Bird
albums:
ôFollowing the lead of fellow dreamy code-slingers Ekkehard
Ehlers and Stephan Mathieu, Cantu-Ledesma [Colophon] transforms
his source material into a beautiful pixilated ambience haunted
with residual melodies and distant rhythms.ö û Aquarius Records
ô(The Wind-Up Bird) spend most of their time slowly approaching
and drifting away from crescendo points, stirring up brews of
mournful violin, somber trumpet, plucked guitar, and Powerbook
shimmers. Peaceful, gauzy moments [of] chiming loops come laced
with foreboding undercurrents.ö û Pitchforkmedia (Rating
8.5/10)
ô[1 Mile NorthÆs] Minor Shadows makes no secret of its
inspirations, reaching out across decades of music to arrive at
a synthesis of electronic sound, classical composition and
spare ambience that raises the bar on recently lauded artists
like Keith Fullerton Whitman, Boards of Canada and theà Morr
imprint.ö û Pitchforkmedia (Rating 9.0/10)
