dusk breathing by d. stine & doug fogelson

Love All Day is proud to present Dusk Breathing, the first recorded offering from Doug Fogelson and D. Stine. These two artists found each other's orbit in the context of some larger improvised collectives anchored at Fogelson's studio during the COVID years. They also worked together on Fogelson's Torus project, a series of recordings centered around performances on the Torus instrument, which Fogelson designed and built in 2020. Having become comfortable in collaboration, Fogelson and Stine sought to extend and simplify their sound as a duo. In natural audio partnership they created an earthy yet ethereal sound universe that sees parallels in the work of artists like windy and carl and flying saucer attack, but expressed through the pure and distinctive tones of the harmonica. Though often brought into a strange new contexts in a cloud of effects and electronic treatment, the familiar timbre of the instrument always grounds each extended phrase. In the weekly crepuscular rituals documented in these recordings, Dusk Breathing takes us to far flung reaches where a tone is stretched to a distance of becoming simple granular matter--but always returns to find its home in the end.
