Small Winters by Taylor Deupree<\/a><\/figure>\n

<\/p>\n

Taylor Deupree<\/b> Small Winters<\/i><\/a><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I often wonder why more artists don\u2019t exploit that a Bandcamp download can contain more than just audio files and an album cover. There\u2019s an opportunity to expand an album, to add GIFs and short movies, PDF booklets, and collections of images. Surprise the listener with digital esoterica, revealed only upon purchase and download.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The concept\u2019s potential is a natural fit for\u00a0Puremagnetik<\/a>. This small company is developing unique audio plug-ins for creators while manning\u00a0an active experimental label on Bandcamp<\/a>. Ambient explorer\u00a0Taylor Deupree<\/a>\u00a0has released\u00a0Small Winters<\/i><\/a>\u00a0through the label, and something new from Taylor is a cause for celebration on its own. Taylor is a longtime master of the is-it-broken-or-intentional style of soundscape as he loops warm tones over crackles and randomly conjured defects. The sources for these tones are often something other than synthesized \u2014 on\u00a0Small Winters<\/i>, you\u2019ll find a glockenspiel. If you\u2019re into this flavor, Taylor doesn\u2019t disappoint. I\u2019m a fan.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

But there\u2019s more in store for those who download Taylor\u2019s latest. The album\u2019s title,\u00a0Small Winters<\/i>, is also the name of a DAW plug-in designed by Puremagnetik\u2019s\u00a0Micah Frank<\/a>\u00a0with prodding from Taylor. \u201cTaylor suggested that a custom device might be an interesting way to constrain the album\u2019s sonic palette,\u201d says Frank. \u201cWe bounced some ideas back and forth and came up with this concept of a broken Tascam 4-track from the future.\u201d Purchase this release on Bandcamp, and you\u2019ll find a text file bundled with the tracks outlining instructions for downloading the plug-in.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The album prominently utilizes the plug-in throughout, most notably on \u201cLong Winter,\u201d which treats the glockenspiel with percolating layers of static-tinged stereo-enhanced repetition. The result is beautiful; the hard attack of the \u2018spiel is softened by reversed effects, low-end ghost notes, and a healthy dollop of artificial tape hiss. An ARP 2600 eventually joins in with hints of a glimmering, subdued melody.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cLong Winter\u201d is followed by a series of shorter tracks with uncapitalized titles like \u201cair\u201d and \u201ctea.\u201d After the set\u2019s preceding magnum opus, these might come off more like mere demonstrations of the included plug-in if the cuts didn\u2019t fit snuggly within Taylor\u2019s body of work. I know Taylor and\u00a0Small Winters<\/i>\u00a0don\u2019t rely on a plug-in for beautiful, melancholic atmospheres. But I can\u2019t tell if this plug-in requires Taylor to come close\u00a0Small Winter<\/i>\u2018s remarkable sound. I\u2019ll have to play with the included plug-in and figure that out for myself.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
