Chromosphere Spectral Omissions CD/DL (paplus13)

Chromosphere is the solo project of Kris Helstrom, an alumnus of Digital Poodle and Kinder Atom.
Chromosphere’s third full-length album, Spectral Omissions mostly discards beats, in favour of
highly textured washes of sound. The restrained compositions feature layers of drones sans any
rhythm, save perhaps a pulse to assure the listener that the music is indeed alive.
Exploration seems to still best describe what it is that occurs within this particular
Chromosphere. The Spectral Omissions album is released on paper+sound as a digital download
and as a strictly limited 250 copy edition digipack release.

Climate Adaptive Capacity

naw Climate Adaptive Capacity CD/DL (paplus12)

climate adaptive capacity is another foray into to the psyche of naw’s abstract interpretations
of the world we live in. As in the past naw draws in his continued inspiration of the sound ecology
of cities, places and spaces he encounters on a daily basis. For this album naw explores the
recent hot topic of climate change and the associated changes, more importantly the adaptations
surrounding these climate changes. Exploring both the planets and human adaptations from
simple observations of ground frost changes to more complex life style changes that are making
in order to continue living on earth to the more morbid thought of an earth that we can no
longer inhabit.
Montreal ex-pat naw (Neil Wiernik) who currently calls Toronto his home, began composing electronic music in 1988 with explorations in audio art and experimental music. Neil’s interest in sound and technology has lead him to a continued questioning and refinement of audio
tools and modes of production resulting in experimentation with altered instruments, modified
devices, and custom software environments. Neil’s music could be described as warm, atmospheric,
and cinematic electronic music. The sound design of naw is firmly grounded in the rich traditions of
dub studio culture but can also be weighed alongside formal contemporary composition. His music
was recently described in “The Wire” as having “…the kind of sharpness and clarity usually lost amid
the murk and decay of clicks and cuts and digital delays.” Neil has released music on various labels
Noise Factory Records for his naw project and on Elevation Recordings for his most recent project
Whisper Room. Climate Adaptive Capacity is his first release on the paper+sound label.

Sauna Porch Recordings Co.

Heiki Sauna Porch Recordings Co. CD/DL (paplus11)

Sauna Porch Recordings Co. is the latest release by Toronto electronic music scene veteran Heiki.
It’s a collection of new music entirely composed and recorded on the porch of the rustic sauna cabin
his father designed and built in Georgian Bay over 35 years ago.
Heiki made these recordings by creating a live, chilled soundtrack first, then sitting back and
absorbing the Georgian Bay lake view and natural surroundings for inspiration. Occasionally he
would set up a microphone, record, and then process the natural sounds of the surroundings –
the wind, the birds, the rustling of leaves in the wind, people swimming, or motorboats and canoes
passing by.
Most of the initial music was quickly recorded as loops in the morning then slowly built up over the
course of a day. Songs were then revisited, treated, layered and re-built over the course of a few
weeks (or years, in some cases). Washes of sound were created by processing the field recordings
then layering them with synthesizer tones and sequences, creating a fusion of natural and
synthesized resonances.
Sauna Porch Recordings Co. is released in download format and a strictly limited
250 copy digipack edition.
