Sanzhi Pod City was built from 1978 onwards, made up of buildings constructed from assemblages of ‘pods’ inspired by the futuro houses of Finnish architect Matti Suuronen. The project was abandoned in 1980, following a number of accidents during construction and persistent rumours that the site was haunted. However, this wasteland of a city has allowed insects to proliferate, in particular five species of orchid mantis. It is this strange environment, made up of utopian buildings, proliferating insects and vegetation reclaiming the site, that serves as the imaginary space for Michelle Helene Mackenzie and Stefan Maier’s music, a music of carefully designed pace and progression, drawing, through resonance and stridulation, subtle sonic materials that guide and accompany us into multiple worlds with admirable ease and grace. \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e—\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eBreach, by American composer Olivia Block, engages in a dialogue between field recordings and synthesised sounds, creating a vibrant plea for wild spaces that face an ever-growing threat to their survival from human activities. The work is based on recordings\u003cspan class=\"bcTruncateMore\"\u003e collected in the San Ignacio lagoon in the Mexican part of Southern California. This lagoon is known as a breeding ground for eastern Pacific grey whales. With the help of precise electronics, the music unfolds like a drift, depicting the subjective soundscape of whales caught up in the noise of the Anthropocene. The composer uses otoacoustic emissions in particular, representing the sound saturation caused by humans in the habitat of these large marine mammals. Going beyond a merely descriptive dimension, Olivia Block manages to transcend her subject to offer a fascinating musical form that engages the listener in a constantly renewed way.\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArtist : Michelle Helene Mackenzie \u0026amp; Stefan Maier \/ Olivia Block\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLabel : Portraits GRM (Shelter Press sublabel)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ecat no : SPGRM013lp\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2025-05-09T11:56:42+09:00","created_at":"2025-05-08T19:11:29+09:00","vendor":"Tobira Records","type":"","tags":["drone","lp","monooto","new","shelter press"],"price":327000,"price_min":327000,"price_max":327000,"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":47303769227514,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"Michelle Helene Mackenzie \u0026 Stefan Maier \/ Olivia Block \/\/ Orchid Mantis \/ Breach LP","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":327000,"weight":430,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":"788362411732","requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[]}],"images":["\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/br1_aaa5c631-7772-415f-8323-de19bb6a6fd5.jpg?v=1746698996","\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/br2_8b07e6dc-21b3-4a9d-86f3-5081f00a462b.jpg?v=1746698996"],"featured_image":"\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/br1_aaa5c631-7772-415f-8323-de19bb6a6fd5.jpg?v=1746698996","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":null,"id":35997852336378,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":700,"width":700,"src":"\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/br1_aaa5c631-7772-415f-8323-de19bb6a6fd5.jpg?v=1746698996"},"aspect_ratio":1.0,"height":700,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/br1_aaa5c631-7772-415f-8323-de19bb6a6fd5.jpg?v=1746698996","width":700},{"alt":null,"id":35997852369146,"position":2,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":1.333,"height":900,"width":1200,"src":"\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/br2_8b07e6dc-21b3-4a9d-86f3-5081f00a462b.jpg?v=1746698996"},"aspect_ratio":1.333,"height":900,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/tobirarecords.com\/cdn\/shop\/files\/br2_8b07e6dc-21b3-4a9d-86f3-5081f00a462b.jpg?v=1746698996","width":1200}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003cp\u003e実験音楽家Michelle Helene Mackenzie \u0026amp; Stefan MaierとOlivia Blockが、\u003cspan\u003e2025年5月にフランスの実験レーベルPortraits GRMからリリースしたスプリットレコードです。\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eロングフォームなコラージュ〜ドローン2曲を収録。\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eマスタリングはGiuseppe Ielashiが担当しています。\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe style=\"border: 0; width: 100%; height: 120px;\" src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=1617880926\/size=large\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=0687f5\/tracklist=false\/artwork=none\/transparent=true\/\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eレーベルその他作品は\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/tobirarecords.com\/collections\/shelter\"\u003eこちら\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\/\/\/ Click \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/tobirarecords.com\/collections\/shelter\"\u003ehere\u003c\/a\u003e to see more Shelter Press \/ \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRecollection GRM\u003c\/span\u003e \/ Ideologic Organ \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003ereleases available at Tobira. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e------------------------------\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e12\" black vinyl.\u003cbr\u003eEdition of 500. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e1.
