Deep Ambient Techno Cassette Mastered by LABEL

Natural Expressions 001 (Cassette Only) by Andreiclv & S.E.N.

From Nocturnal Expressions:

Welcome to Natural Expressions, a new label that branches off our Drift Deeper label. Its main aim is to focus on physical formats such as cassette and vinyl. We also want to explore areas influenced by music but not necessarily involving it such as art, design, fashion, interaction, sustainability etc.

For the first release, we have 110 mins of lo-fi, deep, dubby, ambient, emotional techno and house cuts from 2 artists. S.E.N. makes his first appearance and I’m really happy to have him on board because I’ve loved his stuff for many years. Andreiclv is featured on Drift Deeper Recordings in 2015 with a beautiful 4 track EP.

Each artist has one side of the cassette so you can be sure to find a little bit of everything when flipping over your tape at various intervals.

Mastered by Joshua McAllister of LABEL.

Visual Artist of the Week: Michael Reedy

From the Eastern Michigan University Art Department: Michael Reedy was born in Galesburg, Illinois. He received a BFA in Drawing from North Central College, a MFA in Painting from Northern Illinois University. He began teaching at EMU in 2005.

In my most recent works I have begun to explore visual complexity and ornamentation in conjunction with my prior interests; which have long been rooted in contemporary trends in figurative and portrait based works, as well as fringe images of the body, either in medical illustration or cartoons. I believe this push towards excess propels the figures in to another space and permits the psychological possibilities or fantasies of the figures (or those embedded in the narrative) to operates outside of normal spatial conventions, and in short become uncanny. In some respects my goal has been to make each new image more beautiful and self-indulgent than the last.
