“Ammil” in SoWhat
[KrysaliSound] Delicate stille di crepitante suono che ridisegnano i tratti della meraviglia della natura. È un inno alla semplicità che nasce dalla complessità il percorso che segna il debutto di Ishmael Cormack, una gentile escursione tra luminosi bozzetti armonici che riverberano in un vivido universo sospeso nel tempo. Catturate all’interno di un’antica chiesa del Somerset, […]

Francis M. Gri “Boke” is now available in store in digital format and cd.
“Boke” is the Japanese word for saying blur and mental confusion.
In 2013 a person very close to me was diagnosed with what I call the memory disease.
Unfortunately in these long and struggling years I could see every step of this disorder.
So, I decided to record this album to find a sort of relief in my soul and to make people aware about this painful disease.
Each track is a degenerative phase of this malady that in 2020 has no cure and is becoming every day more widespread.
Our mind is a recorder that makes us react to the impulses of life. We are the sum of our days spent and without memories we go back to being a blank page.
Interruption of memory is a collision between our dreams and what we are….
Thanks

“Ammil” in Fluid Radio
You start to think “What gives?” with an album title like “Ammil”. Seemingly chemical related, this Ishmael Cormack debut on the wine-bottle-uncorking Krysalisound pacifier is a sheer calming, “drink it all in” ladle for the Spring season that is following us in the wake of the Coronavirus outbreak…
Yes, this album is ‘calm’. But the electro-acoustic drones are just something else. It recalls Paul Ferrini’s poetry, and where he says “you have to break through to where the pain is”, as if some encapsulation of wonder and release. And where the opener is light and plaintive, the second track “Bending Snow” intensifies the slushy grip of macro-movement in the soluble harmonic shifts that generate and regenerate on the entirety of the piece.
There is a great deal of “pure space” in this record, as if the mind has been filter-jug weaned several times of a liminal hymn, some kind of strange virus we call life. Of course waxing about poison is like dancing about architecture to the journalistic vanguard, at least what most on the base level think of as “good artwork” or “understandable messages”. And Cormack with this music paints that idea very clear in the listener’s head.
It sounds like he has found time to unclutter his brain of the troubles of anyone’s past and just, not to coin a phrase, rest in the peace of the present. With people dying all the time and a generalized castration weirdness of the media in recent times, where technology overtakes humanity, and racism is really xenophobia and bigotry, the openness and gentility of this sound map is an easy and inviting one to follow. It’s also a perfect starting point for the label itself, and at name your price on Bandcamp for a download it is well worth checking out.
“Banat banat ban jai” in SoWhat
[Krysalisound] Mettersi in ascolto ed interagire coi suoni dell’ambiente per costruire un universo risonante in cui interno ed esterno si fondono cancellando la soglia che li divide. Sottende un approccio interessante il lavoro di debutto di Andrea Laudante, un affascinante impulso a coniugare il gesto compositivo al riverbero casuale del mondo circostante. È un costante […]

Ishmael Cormack “Ammil” is now available in store in digital format and cd.
KrysaliSound is delighted to present the Somerset-based artist Ishmael Cormack and his debut album Ammil. When I found his music on Soundcloud I was astonished to listen to his gentle and delicate notes. The inner seed of music is something rare to find nowadays, I think we are loosing the right purpose and the purity of this art is becoming every day more dirty. Superstructures are ruining our lifes, we need to change and enjoy again in the simplicity of little things.
Ishamael Cormack comes from a little town like me and his humble simplicity captured me from the first time, this is an imprinting that I hope will never disappear from his soul. Ammil is an amazing album and the result of his beautiful personality, maybe the best work I have ever published in the label!
Ammil started as a series of improvised sketches experimenting on the use of polyrhythms.
Deconstructed and recaptured within a 13th-century church.
The sketches focused on the use of a modest selection of instruments, electronics and found sounds.
The catalyst of the project was a journey into the paradoxical nature of the natural world.
Natures complex systems give rise to our perception of simplicity & beauty.
Ammil attempts to mimic this understanding by creating complex rhythm that give birth to subtle melody.
Thanks

ANDREA LAUDANTE – Banat Banat Ban Jai (KrysaliSound, 2020) La formazione classica di Andrea Laudante e la sua presentazione come pianista costituiscono premessa soltanto parziale del suo primo lavoro solista sulla lunga distanza. “Banat Banat Ban Jai” non è infatti l’ennesima prova di minimalismo pianistico contornato da field recordings o effetti elettronici; nonostante la sostanziale […]

Ishmael Cormack – Welcome to KrysaliSound
Ishmael Cormack is a British sound artist living in rural Somerset.
His work focuses on gathering and weaving found sound with acoustics. His use of electro-acoustics creates a delicate atmosphere, immersing the listener in a web of sound that subtly shifts and scatters.
He uses tape loops and polyrhythms to create a sound which reflects the cyclical nature of the natural world in the constraints of man-devised time
