Westberg recorded it together with performer Jehan O. Young for the Swiss Hallow Ground label, with Landsman serving as the record’s producer. The original piece was first performed in the Spring of 2023 at The Chocolate Factory Theater in Queens and filled the stark industrial space with spoken text, choreography, projections, and music in dim light and, occasionally, complete darkness. Westberg and Young afterwards brought it to the studio to record it as a two-part album in whose course his textural sounds, based on loops and samples, set the stage for her soothing, sonorous vocal performance. »Night Keeper« is a performance inspired by sleeplessness and the wanderings of the human mind at night—about time and memory. Westberg and Young elegantly capture its essence in these roughly 44 minutes with a somnambulic album, letting sound and meaning flow into each other.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe initial spark for »Night Keeper« was a run of almost sleepless nights in different neighbourhoods of a city that is perpetually insomniac. Instead of trying to force himself to go back to sleep by any means necessary, Landsman started writing\u003cspan class=\"bcTruncateMore\"\u003e down his thoughts. As he explains in the liner notes—accompanying the music along with drawings made by audience members during the performances—he started listening to the particular way in which the voice in his head navigates time and language. Accordingly, the texts that Young reads on the record form a diverse collection of specific moments, imagining different speakers and evoking different situations. Westberg complements, accentuates, and juxtaposes these with different means. Ominous drones, soaring melodies, rhythmic bass sounds: the guitarist, whose latest release for Hallow Ground was 2021’s »First Man In The Moon« with Polish double bassist Jacek Mazurkiewicz, conjures up distinct sound worlds in which Young can let Landsman’s scenes unfold to gripping effect.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLandsman makes it clear that »Night Keeper« was intended as an invitation to »stay up, look out the window, let what’s happening outside spark reveries or predictions« or even take it on a stroll through the neighbourhood—at night, of course. Much like the original piece, this album is then one dedicated to wandering around, both mentally and physically.\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eArtist : Aaron Landsman \/ Norman Westberg\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLabel : Hallow Ground\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003ecat no : \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eHG2407\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2025-04-19T07:52:02+09:00","created_at":"2025-04-17T07:47:53+09:00","vendor":"Tobira Records","type":"","tags":["contemporary \/ sound poetry","drone","hallow ground","lp","new"],"price":463300,"price_min":463300,"price_max":463300,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":47260738912506,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"Aaron Landsman \/ Norman Westberg \/\/ Night Keeper LP","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":463300,"weight":430,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":"602343041841","requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[]}],"images":["\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/night1_9b76bb1e-8c27-4b8e-b414-f13c3973de7a.jpg?v=1744843592","\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/night2_c63b5368-7da2-4de6-9e7b-1aad557bdb64.jpg?v=1744843592"],"featured_image":"\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/night1_9b76bb1e-8c27-4b8e-b414-f13c3973de7a.jpg?v=1744843592","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":null,"id":35892806615290,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":700,"width":700,"src":"\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/night1_9b76bb1e-8c27-4b8e-b414-f13c3973de7a.jpg?v=1744843592"},"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":700,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/night1_9b76bb1e-8c27-4b8e-b414-f13c3973de7a.jpg?v=1744843592","width":700},{"alt":null,"id":35892806648058,"position":2,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.779,"height":1200,"width":935,"src":"\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/night2_c63b5368-7da2-4de6-9e7b-1aad557bdb64.jpg?v=1744843592"},"aspect_ratio":0.779,"height":1200,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/night2_c63b5368-7da2-4de6-9e7b-1aad557bdb64.jpg?v=1744843592","width":935}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003cp\u003eアメリカ・NYの実験音楽家Aaron Landsmanと、Swansのギタリストとして活動していたNorman Westbergが、2025年4月にスイスのドローンレーベルHallow Groundからリリースした共作レコードです。\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eドローン〜サウンドポエトリー2曲を収録。16ページのブックレットとDLコード付属。\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=765378866\/size=large\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=0687f5\/tracklist=false\/artwork=none\/transparent=true\/\" style=\"border: 0; width: 100%; height: 120px;\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eレーベルその他作品は\u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/tobirarecords.com\/collections\/hagr\"\u003eこちら\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\/\/\/ Click \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/tobirarecords.com\/collections\/hagr\"\u003ehere\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e to see more Hallow Ground releases available at Tobira. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e-------------------------------\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e12\" black vinyl.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eIncludes a 16-page booklet with an essay by the author and drawings and DL code.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e1.
