‘Home’ is an album which spans more than 2,000 kilometres, two families and a lifetime of experiences. 

Darren Harper and Jared Smyth's collaborative effort examines the spaces they have shaped as husbands, fathers and community members in the two very different towns of Tallahassee, Florida and Nederland, Colorado.

Although the two men have never met, they have produced an album that explores the most intimate corners of their lives.

 

Through the sounds of tinkling streams, children drumming, warm guitars and crunching ice, the pair have crafted an intensely personal album, which invites us into the parts of the world they have made their own.

This series celebrates the wonder of rivers at a time when many of them are particularly vulnerable.

Many of us dream about rivers, ride along rivers, take ferries along rivers and sit on river banks. This series is a musical exploration of the ways we influence rivers and they influence us.

It is about the stories we tell about rivers, the experiences we have of them, and the memories they have left us with.

This the final set of Rivers Home sees The Boats, Seth Chrisman, Savaran, All N4tural and Dan Whiting each present an ode to a different piece of water on their own three inch CD.

Each copy comes in a numbered handmade sleeve, with an insert containing a personal message from the artist introducing the EP.

Reviews for series two:
''Taken as a whole, the ten discs are a Rashomon of rivers: on their own, each is subjective, but together they present a fuller glimpse of hidden truth.'' ACloser Listen

''What stands out most of all is that, whatever the stylistic differences between them, all of the creators eschew an overly literal approach to the material; instead of relying too heavily on field recordings, they use the chosen locales as inspirational springboards for their conceptual evocations.'' Textura

''he entire set has been mastered by 12k, and is a beautifully crafted compilation for connoisseurs and collectors alike. It’s no wonder that Flaming Pines has been featured as one of the Best New Labels of 2011 on Headphone Commute. Highly recommended!''

Reviews:

''The skill with which their story’s are told is a testament both to themselves and the label’s curator. – Highly recommended.'' -- Fluid Radio

From pristine headwaters in New South Wales to Brooklyn’s stinkiest canal, this ambitious project “celebrating rivers great and small” is the brainchild of the already waterlogged Kate Carr (last year’s album Summer Floods and compilation appearance ‘The Sound of Fish in a Rock Pool’) produced by her burgeoning ambient label Flaming Pines. -- Cyclic Defrost

"Carr clearly has hit upon a fertile concept in the Rivers Home series—all one need do is consider the varying character of the five installments as proof of that..." --Textura

''Aetherdrift, Do You Copy'' - Seth Chrisman




(click image for more pics)

Flaming Pines's first release for 2012 is a magical new EP by Seth Chrisman called ''Aetherdrift,, Do You Copy''.
Chrisman hails from New Mexico in the USA, but drew heavily on sonic material gathered on a trip to Costa Rica to produce this memorable EP.
Stumbling around after dark armed with a tape recorder and a radio, Chrisman said he returned home inspired by the ''lovely cacophony''  produced by the mixture of natural sounds and fragmented AM radio transmisions.
''Aetherdrift'' delicately and powerfully conveys both the euphoria and disorientation of travel -- the sense of drift and near disembodiment experienced by every traveller as they arrive as a disconnected outsider to a new country.
It is a subtle and sophisticated work which, with its emphasis on geography, travel and connections, is a terrific fit with the preoccupations of the Flaming Pines label, and we are very proud to be associated with it.
''Aetherdrift'' is released as a three-ich limited edition CD. Each copy comes in a numbered handmade sleeve, with an insert containing a personal message from Chisman introducing the EP.
Cost: $8.00
Postage: $3.00
Limited to 100 copies.

Reviews:
''Lazy ambient drifts into stylus static, the sea washing up the shore insinuates itself into the conversation inside someone’s busy kitchen.'' -- Igloo Mag
