hi leaves

Format: LP

Label: Students Of Decay

Cat No: SOD126LP

Soft tissue, the duo formed by Glasgow-based artist Feronia Wennborg and sound artist Simon Weins, is now available on the Cincinnati, Ohio-based experimental label Students Of Decay . A collage work based on small sounds, experimenting with techniques such as bone conduction and digital feedback. A pleasant piece of delicate and unpredictable abstract sound that stimulates your hearing from directions you don't usually use◎


“hi leaves” is the new full-length record from soft tissue, the duo of Glasgow-based artists Feronia Wennborg and Simon Weins. Following their self-titled debut for Penultimate Press in 2019, this collection examines microsound by way of extended amplification technique , bone conduction, domestic recordings, and digital feedback. Tracks like “plant pot” and “kettle” appear to disclose their source material, presenting wonderfully tactile environments of highly articulate sound. Wennborg and Weins prove themselves to be masterful arrangers of discrete, organic material, weaving together knotty and immersive compositions from these sharp, prickly sounds. Ultimately, soft tissue inhabits an intoxicating soundworld somewhere in between the patient abstractions of composerly EAI music, the haptic indulgences of ASMR, and the diffuse digital pastorals of the 90's a- musik/Cologne scene.
