FEATURED ALBUM: 

10am Both Here 

by 

Quatrefoil and AimyþyhrℵullA

3 tracks, 70 minutes

Released 24.03.2025 on

This is an extraordinary piece of sound work which not only features here on grey clay radio, but also in the new edition of EX! Zine as an article and part of the associated audio download.

I cannot really describe this any better than the sleeve notes on the MVM/Quatrefoil Bandcamp sites, so here are the words by Quatrefoil and AimyþyhrℵullA themselves…

10am Both Here is based on an idea of simultaneity of human life - a curiosity about the phenomenon of billions of human lives (and trillions of other lives) vibrating at the same time on our planet. 

Quatrefoil and AimyþyhrℵullA made field recordings at the exact same time and in the same type of place in their respective cities of Varaždin and Eugene. They picked the farmers' market as a place that is similar in different countries, vibrant with life and community. 

While discussing details of the project, another idea emerged - to make the recordings simultaneously in two different ways: not only at the same local time (10am on the same date both in Varaždin and Eugene, during farmers' markets' working hours), but also literally at the same time while making these 10am recordings (1am Eugene / 10am Varaždin and 10am Eugene / 7pm Varaždin time). They both made field recordings outside of working hours and coincidentally both encountered curious enquiries from passers-by on what they were doing. 

Both conversations are recorded and can be heard in the first two tracks which are combinations of recordings made literally at the same time, with switches from one to the other. Track 3 is a combination of 10am recordings from both locales, one in each channel of the track. It allows the listener to be, in a way, at both places at the same time and hopefully not only experience the original idea of simultaneity of human life, but possibly even recognise moments of shared commonality.

Quatrefoil is a field recording / ambient / drone / experimental musician from Croatia. His solo albums have been released by German labels Adventurous Music and Spheredelic while most of his recent and current work are collaborations with other artists across the genre spectrum. 

AimyþyhrℵullA could be a number of things, or people, or neither. Their own statement, written in Old English is reproduced below. Readers may find it diverting to decode it in part or whole using this suggested translation website for which grey clay radio takes no responsibility.
