jefre cantu-ledesma: requiem (for violin & magnetic tape)

One-sided canary yellow vinyl. Screen-printed B-side by master screen-printer, Ulrich Schmidt-Novak. Recorded at The Headlands Center for the Arts, California. Violin by Tony Cross. Jefre Cantu-Ledesma (The Alps, Tarentel, Isidore Ducasse, Portraits) delivers here a darkly beautiful and plaintive piece built of violin and tape loops. "Requiem" has a crepuscular quality, but it's hard to tell in the half-light if the piece is shifting toward light or darkness. Handmade artwork by artists Paul McDevitt & Cornelius Quabeck using a Risograph printer in combination with spray paint. Mastered and cut by Rashad Becker at Dubplates & Mastering, Berlin. Released in a numbered edition of 300 which will not be repressed. Includes a photograph, insert, and download code.
