Ghostly International plan new compilation series


News arrives today of a new experimental music compilation series that the boys at Ghostly International are working on. The first one will feature tracks from the Caretaker, Peter Broderick, Kyle Bobby Dunn and others. SMM: Context is described by the label as the first release in their new yearly compilation series of evocative, exploratory music.

In 2004, Ghostly cooked up the meaningless acronym SMM in an effort to label the music hovering in the boundaries between classical minimalism, electronic and drone composition, film soundtracks, and fragile imaginary landscapes. The upcoming SMM: Context features a hand-picked selection of what they descirbe as some of the world’s finest musicians from Poland, Germany, Denmark, Norway, North America and the UK.

This is the tracklisting.

01. Goldmund – "Motion"
02. Leyland Kirby – "Polaroid"
03. Svarte Greiner – "Halves"
04. Christina Vantzou – "11 Generations Of My Fathers"
05. Jacaszek – "Elegia"
06. The Fun Years – "Cornelia Amygdaloid"
07. Manual – "Three Parts"
08. Aidan Baker – "Substantiated"
09. Rafael Anton Irisarri – "Moments Descend On My Windowpane"
10. Kyle Bobby Dunn – "Runge’s Last Stand"
11. Peter Broderick – "Pause"

The release date is March 1.
