- The next instalment in the label's collaborative series features unreleased tracks by Surgeon, Laurel Halo, Octo Octa, Phase Fatale, Luke Slater and more.
Rrose and Silent Servant have collaborated on the seventh Air Texture mixed compilation.
Rrose curates the first disc, which features unreleased tracks from Anthony Child (AKA Surgeon), Ron Morelli, Laurel Halo, Octo Octa, Laetitia Sonami and Charlemagne Palestine, among others. Silent Servant's second disc includes exclusives by Phase Fatale, Luke Slater and Function. Both artists, who are longtime friends and collaborators, have also contributed their own tracks.
The sculpture featured on the cover art was made by the German minimalist artist Charlotte Posenenske, titled Vierkantrohre Serie DW, 1967 - 2016. Posenenske's work focused on systems and structures derived from mass production and standardization.
"I make series because I do not want to make single pieces for individuals, in order to have elements combinable within a system, in order to make something which is repeatable, objective, and… economical," she said in an artist statement in 1968. "[The pieces] are decreasingly recognizable as 'artworks.' The objects should have the objective character of industrial products. The former categorization of the arts no longer exists."
The previous, sixth Air Texture compilation was released in October 2018, handled by Steffi and Martyn. In 2019, Air Texture launched a compilation series spotlighting national scenes, with editions highlighting Colombia, Georgia, and The Netherlands.
Seth Horvitz's debut album as Rrose, called Hymn To Moisture, arrived in November last year.
