Album of the Day: Andreas Tschopp - What If We Align Our Breath ( @kitrecs )

Find it here: https://theatticmag.com/news/2530/the-monthly-dig-_-march-2026.html

Pioneering Swiss trombonist and composer @andreastschopp marries contemporary jazz with South African horns and homemade ocarinas, creating a record quite unlike anything you've heard before. "What if We Align Our Breath" disregards the curvature of borders, genre, and time itself - tugging a thread through the history of wind instrumentation with ghostly agility.

Our final track feature from ‘Hypha’....

‘Syntrophy I, II and III’ are the final pieces from our ‘Hypha’ project. Drawing on the concept of syntrophy — the mutual reliance between species’ metabolic processes – we, as performers, approach the piece as an improvised musical game. One performer begins with a musical idea that acts as a kind of substrate; the others respond by digesting the opening material (like microbial species would do), transforming it until it is unrecognisable. Then the roles within the trio switch, and the process starts again.

Listen to the whole ‘Hypha’ album on Bandcamp and on all streaming platforms.

New music from Martin Glass.
“Today With Martin Glass” is the first of two mini EPs set to precede a full length record late summer.

……….

Martin was on the move now.

High above the Tyrrenian, the Lancia cut Gaussian curves in pastel and chrome.

The road hadn’t been clear before, but now it whistled with clarity’s electric heat.

“Martin,” Beatrice asked, “where are we going?”

“To God, my dear Beatrice. This is the Road to God”

Laughter uncertain.

Eyes drifting from the road, Martin’s hand sank deep into the glovebox’s dark leather.

“Amaretto, my love?”

Funny kind of pilgrimage, she thought.

I wrote ‘End Song’ many years ago now, a little bit while visiting London, a little bit near Salvador. It’s travelled with me for almost ten years. On the ‘Hypha’ album, it continues the thread of sonic disintegration/recreation - how endings, romantic and otherwise, happen. The last bit features part of a sweet recording from the Hidden Years archive titled ‘Dickman Reberio 1970’, in which John Dickman sings a Bob Dylan piece before the tape stretches and pulls his voice into a grainy mesh of buzzing frequencies.

‘Seams’ explores decay as occurring in border zones and transitional spaces. The live performers occupy a more prominent musical role, while the background audio material is sewn together from the quiet moments of silent listening, in-between breathing, crackles, and anxious preparation of recording sessions in the Hidden Years Music Archive.

Listen to ‘Seams I’, ‘Seams II’ and the full ‘Hypha’ album on Bandcamp and on all streaming platforms.

‘Code’ is a graphic score based on three images selected from the Hidden Years archive (parts of these seen here) to serve as visual prompts for musical interpretation. Together, we read the images as a kind of visual code for performance, using a set of changing guidelines created by me. The piece is performed as three short movements and changed every time we played it.

The title track of our album, Hypha, draws its name from the long, branching filaments that make up the structure of fungi. I stitched together the bubbly moments of garbled text from some of the Hidden Years recordings and then wrote hesitant, chordal ideas that aimed to fill the gaps and cracks emerging from the prepared audio. Like the golden slivers used for patching in the Japanese practice of kintsugi and the strands of matter in this microscopic image, the played material stretches up through everything else, like little tonal filaments.

‘Hypha’ opens with ‘Grain and Dot’ and, in this piece, I imagined the microscopic interactions between different species of mould and fungi within an archive. The piece is built up from processed experiments using decayed audio from Stellenbosch University’s Hidden Years Music Archive, hydrophone recordings of fish sounds and a tangled web of composed melodies for guitar, piano and violin.
