Become the Phase Between Two Ellipses

The new Primitive Motion cassette will be released shortly on A Guide to Saints. Featuring 7 new tracks recorded one fine Sunday afternoon at Kindling House, the album is currently getting some harmonic manipulation in the toaster at Lawrence English's kitchen.  I think that's what he said. It's already been slow roasted by Sandra at Franklins Lab, so this thing's an absolute bakers delight. Hey - don't ask me what it all means, I just push down the little white keys that make sound come out. 

Here's a sample of the kinda deep-space-sub-aquatic-propeller-driven-orbital-curve-action that will be spooling through the tape heads in a month or so.  With cicadas! Keeping in mind, notions are are at right angles and are of the same frequency.  The differences of phase between two ellipses.

Escape to the Hole in the Sky

Escape to the Hole in the Sky by Primitive Motion

Ullo peeps. Primitive Motion are cobbling together a few albums at the moment and we found this lost space junk in the sock drawer. Ye Gods! Sandy Selig took some helium and slipped straight through the vortex, while FWY! chief pilot Edmund Xavier beamed down the beats from the control bridge at Video West.  Somehow the fuselage remained intact, careering through a dance floor of exploding asteroids. Hold on tight!

Kindling Archives Vol. 3: Blowfly Saint

Blowfly Saint in Auckland, January 2006. L to R: Leighton Craig, Stefan Neville 

Blowfly Saint - In the Hole by Kindlingrecords

Stefan with the late Millicent Bystander
 at Kindling House, Dec 2007.

Blowfly Saint occurs when Stefan Neville and Leighton Craig cross paths in the same city for a few days. (Eugene Carchesio was also involved in the first session at the infamous Northgate sheds in 2005.)

The duo share an interest in facilitating closer Trans-Tasman relations, but believe the David Kidwell shoulder charge on Willie Mason in the first test in 2006 was a culturally appropriate act.

BFS has made a swag of recordings, with one piece ("Coast Road") released on the Need for a Crossing compilation that appeared a few years back on the Xeric imprint.

Stabbies etc HQ, Kingsland, Auckland

The track above was knocked out one hot December afternoon in the garage at Kindling House, Brisbane.  The little fella below is from a midnight session at Stefan's old pad in Kingsland, Auckland. Best endeavours were made to keep quiet for snoozing housemates...

Descendants of Air, Move in Time

Primitive Motion's Home of the Future box is available now. The boxes are a numbered edn of 30, designed and constructed by Sandra Selig. Each box contains seven 8 x 8cm black and white landscape images (photographed by Sandra, Leighton and Patrida Blake) and a 3" cdr of recordings made at Kindling House in June 2011.

"Brisbane art-pop explorers Leighton Craig & Sandra Selig return with an extended play opus HOME OF THE FUTURE. The signature elements are intact: Martin Rev's rhythm machines, thoughtful Casio melodies, wind instruments, but this time the vocals are bolder, more emotive…shades of Young Marble Giants' haunting classics & as cosmic as anything the German hippies in Amon Duul I conjured in-between breast-feedings. The closing six-minute INTERIOR SEA, built on a slow-burn boss nova beat, is a bright light on the current pop landscape." - Glenn Donaldson

The Home of the Future edn of 30 box:
$30AUD includes postage worldwide.
