A visual reminder about the "Neither Present Nor Absent" record by Steve Jansen & Maiya Hershey released this year. 
Watch the video inspiration of the track "As We Drift" created by Maiya Hershey. Video footage Yaroslav Shuraev
Creative direction Maiya Hershey.

The track “As We Drift”, features a piano solo initially composed by Maiya as an improvisation between the two artists,
that was later sampled by Steve to create a complete sonic journey.
An interlude at around 6:57 features sampled sounds of crickets.
This is an audio sample taken from field recordings in Falougha, Mount Lebanon.

Last copies of "Neither Present Nor Absent" available on Greedbag.

 

Steve Jansen has also reissued his first two solo studio albums: Slope and Tender Extinction.

Released by The state51 Conspiracy, these are available now on double 12’’ heavyweight vinyl 
with new redesigned artwork by Carl Glover and remastered tracks by James Ginzburg on Tender Extinction.

SLOPE

 

TENDER EXTINCTION

Both are special pieces of work, and place the talents of an artist that often stays in the shadows front and centre. 
Slope and Tender Extinction allow for the full range of his influences, experimentation, and ideas to come to
the fore. These reissues are timely and necessary, bringing particularly gorgeous high points of Steve Jansen’s
sparkling oeuvre into new light.
