Micah Heathwood - Bottle (CD)

Micah Heathwood, is a producer, composer and instrumentalist based in Ngunnawal/Ngambri region, Canberra, Australia.

Bottle is his new double single (+ bonus track) that was originally written as only the first of the two songs. The first song was originally written with a heavy emphasis on uptempo electronic/ breaks and live jazz. Originally its sound was very band heavy and sat in the realm of modern jazz that is coming out of places such as Melbourne and London.
It was changed after its first studio recording. Micah practically remixed the recording, changed the arrangement, and added much more production, making it more IDM centred and thus different from its original live takes. Subsequently the live performance of the track changed as well.

Bottle 2 was an add on in the journey of production. Micah felt it was an appropriate reflection on how he also wanted the track to feel, even though the initial track had a much faster and heavier sound to it.

This release also offers a bonus track of the first live recording of Bottle, which was performed at Sideway in Canberra in 2021. This live recording shows the original jazz centred origins of the track, and also gives a picture of how the track has changed overtime.

Micah is excited to release these three tracks as a precursor to his debut EP which will arrive later in 2024. The bonus track will only be available on purchase of digital album or CD.

Autogenesis _ Terminus EPEmerging from the subterranean vectors of networked cyberspace, Terminus represents a submission to disorientation.Temporal continuities are severed and reconfigured as ancient echoes reflect off futuristic forms.Warped percussion, meandering dronescapes, and enveloping low frequencies interlock into a rippling sonic portrait of the post anthropic figure – both alien and intimate.creditsreleased April 10, 2024Produced by AutogenesisRemixes by Zara and ObeliskArt by XpearlVideo by niphMastered by Borg Queen at Syntonix
Lost icebergs off the arctic, hollowed out memory, an acerbic embrace.Third Space presents his first long-player via .jpeg artefacts. Venturing from previous, punchier, swinging percussion found on previous releases, the LP delivers careful introspection, experimentation, and rich conceptual development.The beatless iterations and encompassing walls of sound that stuck their heads out on earlier EPs are embraced in full here; it’s claustrophobic but space is found in the right areas. Tension and release to the nth degree, but without becoming a trope. Percussion remains, but slowed to a crawl.The release calls on memories of Ambarchi’s Oystered (as well as, notably, Grapes from the Estate) and the clicks and hums of Pan Sonic, but it’s the development past this that allows Scissor Kick to shine. The areas where intimacy is pushed through field recordings, live scattered percussion (from R.Rebeiro, as well as TS), and those subtle reminders that Third Space still has an iron-firm grasp on percussive rhythm, is where this record stands on its own solid ground. What was foggy red-roomed speaker stacks has given way to arctic tundra, vast expanse, acid rain.Layer up.~~
Often spotted about town, it’s no secret that JCow is diligently, quietly (and not so quietly) crafting big tunes. This release is the sound of that inevitable 2020’s shut-in inspiration. Written during those periods, they are finally seeing the light of day.With focused time in the studio, some serious imagined musical landscapes are the result. Tracks designed for dance-floor breakouts and closed-eye catharsis. We’ve heard these tracks come a long way from inception. Cerebral and kinetic, each track has a unique character, functional yet bound to stand out in any set.Tracks like ‘a complex range of human emojis’ pay-no-mind in referencing the past with a sly smirk and an updated twist, while the title track ‘in my elem3nt7’ conjures up a certain mystical environment - The tracks bold narrative shift midway is a notable payoff. Swerving boldly into new territory, the percussive motifs fade and return from new angles, sounds cutting and slicing through the speaker like angelic machine gun fire. The drum programming is truly used like a weapon on this one, with those majestic horn samples like calls from the ether.Exaels ‘swampbuggy’ reworking of title track on the B2 provides the perfect alternate universe, working its way from a sparse ambience into an inspired IDM-leaning breakbeat epilogue.
