Luftkluster/Luftfluks is the second album in an ongoing series of LP editions by Canell & Watkins. Following The New Heat/Obscured by Light projects, the new album further expands the duo's joint commitment to generate subjective fluctuations between structured and free-form melodies.
Combining found objects, instruments and other analogue mechanics with organ, guitar,voice and custom built percussion, the LP is as volatile as the material it is made from.
The open songs of Luftkluster/Luftfluks hover in midair, occasionally interrupted by angular signals from electro-physiological instruments or the hypnotic humming of a 6.25meter tape-loop. It flows from vocal interludes to fluxing fluorescent noise, blending rootless percussion with damaged flickers of electric drone organs.
The unpredictable nature of Luftkluster/Luftfluks' humid melodies exists somewhere in between spontaneity and determinacy; a quiet, ephemeral
collage of alternating altitudes. Rather than operating within the traditional
format of a band, the projects by Canell & Watkins take on various shapes and forms, allowing them to move freely from live improvisation to sculptural installations, found sounds and structured song writing.
As a consequence, the name of this duo continuously shifts along with the intention
and context of each project. When performing they integrate their diverse practices into a dense and highly idiosyncratic live set. Luftkluster/Luftfluks comes as white solid vinyl in a handfolded edition of 250 numbered copies.
