Today’s episode includes two exclusive tracks from upcoming releases. On the A side the track The Fifth Compass Point Dub from the single The Fifth Compass Point by Bristol outfit Trem 77. Inspired by the concept of the fifth compass point. An idea beyond directional coordinates. Through the center point of the compass rose runs an axis that can be imagined as an array of transecting lines running through that point. More than a center point, it is an intersection that could include time running forward and backward in all directions away from the two dimensional compass plane. In this sense, it might be the truest symbol of the here and now. Is it the heart center, a jumping off point for experiencing all that there is, or both simultaneously? The B side features an upcoming release from the Italian composer and multi instrumentalist Bruno Bavota. Here with the track, when we collide, from the album, I’m losing you, which will be released on German label oscarson on September 19. The record showcases Bruno’s signature combination of acoustic piano and subtle electronics, now enriched with expressive string arrangements performed by violinist Laura Masotto. The album is a meditation on loss in its many forms — from absence and nostalgia to quiet acceptance. Through looping piano motifs, gently pulsing electronics, and emotionally resonant strings, I’m Losing You invites listeners into a vulnerable, immersive world of sound and feeling. With this release, Bavota further refines his neoclassical voice, offering a moving and cinematic work that speaks to both personal emotion and universal experience.
I won’t be commenting between the tracks. You can do that on the time line. Don’t be shy.
