    Summer Yellow cassette with Metallic Turquoise handwriting in a Sweet Red Strawberry case, dedicated & signed by Binaural Space.

    All 7 album tracks are on Side A. Side B contains only “Moment of Silence for the Eaten Ones”, which is really just analogue silence that we all need so much sometimes.

    Each copy was real-time recorded directly from analog master played on a fabled Marantz deck to a warm and beloved old Nakamichi deck. Every single copy is unique and has desired little artefacts like warble, flutter or wow, making your cassette a hearty lo-fi original.

about

If you follow our creative endeavours, you know Uncle Fido albums are my way of coping with the exhausting work on Binaural Space projects.

While the first Tipentap EPs came into existence between R.U.R., Chopped Piano Day and Album Made of Singles, this new one is a by-product of my practicing for the first Binaural Space live stream.

There was no deliberate intention to compose new Uncle Fido songs at first. But sometimes during the practicing I would notice Binaural Space gradually changed to Binaural Uncle and that eventually ended up as an Uncle Fido motive. I would note it and get back to the “correct” improvisation, in a similar way as when your thoughts wander during a meditation, you become aware of them and return to the previous path, not giving the thoughts a second thought.

However, as the themes kept coming, I remembered the main purpose of Uncle Fido was an escape within an escape. And I needed that super-escape badly. So, whenever I felt like it, I would make a complete Tipentap track between the sessions, but this time deliberately.

I quickly found an overarching theme, too:

I was able to do the stream and all the preparations for it because my kids were at summer camp and my wife used her home office time to work from her dad’s cottage.

So I stayed at home alone, and, like in my bachelor times, I would work through days and nights, often forgetting to eat and drink. Some days my only food consisted of just a strawberry or three from our tiny garden bed.

In our country slugs are overpopulated this year so they became my enemies during those days as they usually got to the ripe strawberries before me. I hated their guts but one day this situation gave me an idea silly enough to be used as the first Tipentap mystery case:


On a beautiful morning Tip and Tap find all strawberries eaten up and a murdered slug lying next to the garden bed. They start investigating who commited such a horrible crime. They interrogate a few animals and they find some suspects. But at the end of the day they find out the slug has been only sleeping the whole time, surfeited from eating all the strawberries. And at the very moment of the two puppies realizing there was no murder at all and the presumed victim rising from the dead, an Indian Runner Duck (popular here lately as a natural enemy of slugs) runs along them. It pecks the slug up, gobbles it up and thus kills it for real.


And so the resulting new Uncle Fido album, Tipentap Solve Crime, is about this first murder case being investigated by our two little detectives. I hope you’ll like it at least as much as you liked the first two records.

This one is quite special for me also because I’m writing these release notes and I’ll release the album itself from our family vacation by the sea, which is an exceptional holiday for me, a landlubber first time abroad in 3 years (not counting 15 seconds in Poland last week). I hope the atmosphere of the genesis of this little record will translate well and you’ll enjoy the ride.

Thank you very much for your support – it’s a joy and a privilege to share my music with you. 🙏 Have a wonderful summer, dear friends and fans.

Binaural Space

Ambient traditionalists say to Binaural Space what the Emperor said to Mozart: “Too many notes.” In both cases, the rest of the world tends to disagree.
