JANSEN, STEVE - The Extinct Suite / Corridor (Sealed) (2LP)

Material gathered from two of Steve Jansen’s solo releases ‘The Extinct Suite’ and ‘Corridor’. Limited Edition 2 x Black 180g Vinyl (500 copies only pressed, Cargo only have 200 of those). ‘The Extinct Suite’ – The third solo album release from Steve Jansen. A reinterpretation of the more ambient and orchestral elements of ‘Tender Extinction’ (Jansen’s second solo album). Not a remix by any means, some familiar passages are woven together with additional pieces to create a suite of instrumentals lasting over 55 minutes as one single track split over Sides A & B of this 2LP album. // ‘Corridor’ – A slowly evolving instrumental piece designed for playback in a gallery space with uncontrolled acoustics and no sound insulation. Avoiding percussive and complicated bass content this audio is designed to float in a live space at low level volume allowing sonic variations to subtly stimulate the ambience. Original installation at the Cape Breton University Art Gallery, Canada to accompany a photo exhibition titled ‘Through A Quiet Window’ by Steve Jansen May 11 to July 6, 2018. Split over Sides C & D of this 2LP album. Steve Jansen – Piano, Synths, Guitar, Drums, Sampled Instruments, String Arrangements, Sound Design.
