TEMPLE MUSIC - "Incompleteness" 26-07-2009

TEMPLE MUSIC -"INCOMPLETENESS"
"INCOMPLETENESS" is the all new album from the visionary duo of TEMPLE MUSIC, beautifully presented in typical Faria fashion with 4 full colour inserts in an immaculate art housing...This is joint release between Shining Day and Faria Records.
In 1931, the Czech-born mathematician Kurt Gödel demonstrated that within any given branch of mathematics, there would always be some propositions that couldn't be proven either true or false using the rules and axioms of that mathematical branch itself... the implication is that all logical system of any complexity are, by definition, incomplete; each of them contains, at any given time, more true statements than it can possibly prove according to its own defining set of rules. This implies that you'll never entirely understand yourself, since your mind, like any other closed system, can only be sure of what it knows about itself by relying on what it knows about itself.
TEMPLE MUSIC's Alan Trench and Stephen Robinson have used both the implications of Gödel's theorem and the doctrine of anamorphosis to compose and fashion an album of 4 interconnected and complementary tracks that somehow look both forward and back; that juxtapose the old and the new into an organic whole of both sacred and temporal instruments - Indian harmonium and shruti box, plucked and hammered dulcimers, bodhrans, mosenos, various flageolets, synthesisers and keyboards, guitars, bass, Tibetan bells and singing bowls - 4 drifting shards of ethereal and sometimes frightening beauty, rose petals on the snow that are finally revealed to be tiny, perfect drops of crystalline blood...for more info please go to Shining Day Records... less

Shining Day proudly presents:
Clouwbeck - "Wolfrahm""Wolfrahm" is the latest work by UK artist Richard Skelton, who records under many different guises, including A Broken Consort and Carousell. It's the follow-up to 2007's "A Moraine", and continues his preoccupation with landscapes, land formation, erosion, decay and renewal. The album's title is a reference to the mineral ore that produces Tungsten - a metal, which amongst other things, is used to make violin strings. The music itself brims with a rich, textural ebb and flow - a sonorous drift of shifting layers, with dark seams of beautiful, bowed melodies and eddying, turbulent undertow...

New release of Temple Music -"The Green Man Project - "Gamma - Cadney - All Saints" on Shining DayThe third in the seven album GREEN MAN series from TEMPLE MUSIC (ALAN TRENCH (ORCHIS, CUNNAN, S.Q.E., TWELVE THOUSAND DAYS) & STEPHEN ROBINSON (THE BELOVED)) opens with sinister bursts of (dis)harmony from the vintage String Machine underpinned by brooding bass and highlighted by tense yet liquid guitar... as the piece build, the mood lifts and becomes more rhythmic until a veil lifts on a crystalline vision of chiming bells and harmonised lyre; distant flutes play far away... again, this new vision builds, ebbs, flows... making way for a beautiful circular guitar and organ duet... this resolves into a song of yearning and loss with vocals by TRACY JEFFERY (ORCHIS, SQE) that seems to encapsulate all that has gone before; the final playout is both sad and elegiacal...
Once again TEMPLE MUSIC continue on their seven step journey; this third on the path shows an evolving series of spectacular depth ...for more info please see Shining Day records.

New release on Shining Day:
Temple Music -"The Green Man Project"
"Beta - Gedney - St Mary Magdalene" cdr
This, the second in the seven album GREEN MAN series finds Alan Trench (ORCHIS, CUNNAN, S.Q.E., TWELVE THOUSAND DAYS) & Stephen Robinson (THE BELOVED) inspired by the brooding landscape and history of England’s Fenlands to create a spectacular and dramatic piece of music that mixes Djembe and Percussion rhythms from Christopher Patinios with an amazing array of acoustic instruments and electronic treatments – Appalachian Dulcimer, Irish Low Whistle, Autoharp, Bow Psaltery to name but a few meet synthesiser and fx drones & field recordings. With the addition of Harry Houlton (who has recently been joining the band for live performances) on treated Slide Guitar, TEMPLE MUSIC continue on their seven step journey with an album that stands up well with the magnificent first volume despite being entirely different…
This extremely limited Art Edition release (x 50) comes in a beautiful handmade package, with individually painted and hand-blocked outer sleeve and complementary inner sleeve – and PLEASE NOTE that this is a NEW and RE-MASTERED EDITION that has a depth and tonality missing from the Woven Wheat download version – now unavailable due to the unfortunate demise of that label – and is exclusive to this SHINING DAY release.

"THE GREEN MAN PROJECT"
a seven album collection
alpha beta gamma delta epsilon zeta lota
"Alpha - Barton upon Humber - St Peter" cdr
The Green Man Project is presented as a limited edition CDR(50x), housed in individual, hand printed ‘art’ wraparound sleeves with information about each location. Each piece is different, as is each location; each is dense, shifting, unexpected, rhythmic, arrhythmic, modal, tonal, abrasive, ethereal... each is as different and yet the same as the Green Man himself. Take yourself on a journey of a different sort with Temple Music…
The Green Man is a symbol familiar to many; it cuts across a vast swathe of interests - folklore, pagan, esoteric, architectural - and is found in a number of different contexts. Place names (farmsteads, woods), inn and pub signs, company logos and, overwhelmingly, churches, all contain references to, and images of, the Green Man, Primary and seconday schools alike set it as an art project. So ubiquitous is it, in fact, that most people will not have to have it explained to them - you can simply refer to the Green Man and they will know what you are talking about. Or, at any rate, they will know the symbol... So what exactly is the Green Man a symbol for? In broad terms, there is an agreement that he is part of our pagan past, a symbol of death, rebirth and renewal, the spirit of the Woods - Jack O? The Green, Robin Hood (Wood), the Lord of Misrule, the Corn King. A British, Celtic or Norse god brought into the churches (where he is often found in conjunction with Sheela-na-Gig) to properly sanctify them by our superstitious forebears. So broad are the terms of reference, so much does the Green Man seem to represent and signify, it seems that he is what you make of him and what you want him to be...

Temple Music - "Volume II" Cd Catalogue number - SHINE 06 CD only
Release Date - 02.09.2007; ... more Temple Music - "Volume II" Cd
Catalogue number - SHINE 06 CD only
Release Date - 02.09.2007; Avatar of the Red Month
Price - £9
Temple Music return to the themes first set out in Volume One – that the Olympian Gods of ancient Greece can still walk amongst us - in their superb new album, Volume Two. In the years intervening, Temple Music have evolved - via some stunning live shows and the Songs Of Absolution album, as well as the explorations of sonic possibilities in the ongoing Green Man series - into a unique acoustic/electronic/experimental/mythic band, and each of the six tracks on this new collection displays a different facet of their sound. Key personnel continue to be Stephen Robinson and Alan Trench, joined here by Julie Brackenbury and Tracy Jeffery. Using old analogue synths, delicately plucked and blown acoustic instruments and an acute musical sensibility that melds together seemingly disparate elements into a visionary whole, Temple Music create mesmeric and awe-inspiring soundscapes; for invocation and contemplation; for navigation through the dreaming backwaters of the aeons; and for the starlit times that shiver in the spaces between - intense and atmospheric, shifting and hypnotic . As you would expect from Temple Music and Shining Day, this new collection comes in a wonderfully evocative package; a foldout full colour wallet from original artwork by Alan Trench printed on heavyweight textured stock and cased in a protective wallet. Edition of 300 copies.
