This self-titled Hessien ep was originally released for free download from Hessiens’ web site in December 09 as a prelude to the ‘Skurjn’ ep on Handstitched* Recordings. After much demand for these songs to be released in flac/lossless formats they have been remastered and now appear at Bandcamp for easy, accessible downloading. There is also an extra, bonus track ‘Varieties of Parable’ that didn’t appear on the original ep.

Taking some time out from making music with Charles Sage as Hessien, Tim Martin brings his Maps and Diagrams project back to the surface with four exclusive songs for Fluid Audio. ‘Cubiculo’ features a more structured, loop-based arrangement, drawing attention to a rounded and melodic stencil with focus on subtle, crystalised, micro-rhythm, surrounded by self-assurance and tangled textures with a salute towards the work of Oval and their deconstructed works of the 90′s. ‘Cubiculo’ creates a less-harsh listening environment compared to ‘The Giant Woods’ album on Yuki Yaki, released in December 2009 - this is another steadfast release carefully crafted, interwoven with unfolding elements that makes Maps and Diagrams’ compositions so precisely enduring. ‘Cubiculo’ will be available for free download in FLAC, mp3 and ogg formats via Fluid Audio and released on 12 March, out now from Fluid audio
