Ended the week and welcomed the weekend with Ultra-minimal
by Sylvain Chauveau, released on Sonic Pieces in 2024.

Sylvain Chauveau has been releasing quiet and minimal compositions on various labels for more than two decades. ultra-minimal marks his debut for Sonic Pieces and takes the minimal approach even further, centring on reduction and limitation.

The album was recorded live at Café Oto, London in March 2022 - one of Sylvain’s rare solo concerts and the first time he performed publicly with only acoustic instruments; no machines, no recorded sounds have been used, only piano, guitar, harmonium and melodica, played one at the time. While some of the compositions are completely new, others are live versions of previously released pieces which have either been performed close to their original or stripped-down, reduced to a single instrument and partly rearranged...

En present från min make/A gift from my husband (the title means "the art of surviving bullying", it's about a guy has a PhD and was a professor ... but was so horribly bullied in the academic world that he gave all that up and became a truck driver)

Shockingly, I'm missing #ListeningClub again tomorrow as I am at not one but two #music gigs.

#TheNecks at #CafeOto for the matinee show first, then #RoseCityBand at #TheGarage in the evening.

Sorry Listening Club pals!

This Late Junction is very Late Junction.

And of course one of the featured artists are playing at Cafe Oto soon!
