About LAND AND SEA:

LAND AND SEA is an independent publisher of books, records, zines and cassette tapes based in Oakland California run by Maria Otero and Christopher Robin Duncan. Since 2010, LAND AND SEA has hosted shows at our project space (RIP), published books, records, tapes, and zines that share, shed light and support images, sounds and ideas from a wide variety of artists.

LAND AND SEA embodies lessons learned from an early education perpetuated by music made in basements and VFW halls, photocopied show flyers, stolen Kinko’s cards, hastily-made zines, 12th generation mixed-tapes, and 7″ records that intended to change the world. LAND AND SEA hope to amplify generally unheard and unseen efforts, adding to an ever-expansive, tactile, shared culture of print and sound.

Robert Aiki Aubrey Lowe (b. 1975) is an artist and multi-instrumentalist who works with voice in the realm of spontaneous music often under the moniker of Lichens. Most recently, creating patch pieces with modular synthesizer and singing to them has been a focus of live performance and recordings. Quality of sound through the marriage of synthesis coupled with voice has allowed for a heightened physicality in the way of ecstatic music, both in a live setting and recorded. The sensitivity of analogue modular systems echoes the organic nature of vocal expression which, in this case, is meant to put forth a trancelike state. To usher in Deep Listening through sound and feeling. Losing one’s self in sound while being acutely self-aware.

Peaces is the Oakland, California-based interdisciplinary collaboration between Zekarias Musele Thompson and Joshua Wismans. The project utilizes processed acoustics, resonance, electronics, video, and installation to explore the act and possibilities of sound creation as a unifying space. Novel moments emerge through spontaneous composition, revealing dimensions of peace within and outside our individual and collective bodies.

The Urxed is Robert Laird Barber, whose trajectory has moved from Philadelphia to New York to Los Angeles accumulating academic and creative endeavors leading to the complex and multifaceted sound world presented here. Calling on an American Equatorial Kosmische body in which aural landscapes represent lush, organic, alien locales washing over one’s ears.
