#tossapol

Brussels’ Unfathomless label returns with a pair of complementary releases, each a single album-length work.  Tossapol imagines two museums, one real and one imaginary, while Ludovic Medery walks through the Colonster Woods, gathering sonic impressions.  These are the 94th and 95th releases on the imprint as they approach their celebratory centennial. When Tossapol was a child, a new science…

While walking in the forest, through an abandoned village.

People moved out. something was left behind.

Left them deep inside, Those were sorrow.

Slowly picked them out carefully that they would not break. Laid them down on the floor.

The sound of sorrow that touched with the ground making a specific sound.

The Night covered, lighted a fire. Sound of the night insects, Sound of the wind. No one except you and the number of sorrow. Those sadness connected with your sadness. Became a soft light shining in the middle of the room. Insects wanted to fly in but got stuck at the window. Some unknown creatures stared behind the shadow.

“There is a small garden in my father’s house where I lived as a child. The garden is on the 3rd floor of the house. My father and mother always watered them until this year they got old and there are too many plants to care for. Moreover, the roots stretched out from their pots and their weight could break the floor. So my father asked me to rearrange the garden, move some plants and some empty pots out.

The garden has meaning to me. It’s a place that I often played and was a place to connect to my father, so I decided to record some sound while I did gardening there.”
