Chubby Wolf was the recording name of Dani Baquet-Long, one half of Celer, who sadly didn’t live to see the realisation of so much of her work. The extravagant, oversized, map-clad packaging dwarfs the understated content of this cassette, a suite of the quietest of drones. On Maudlin And Elusive, we are given a chart of the heart, and left to orienteer it with no compass. Hints and hidden meanings dance among the dark shadows, and coded references populate track titles. A voice emerges: a moan? a scream? a cry? of pleasure or pain? Traces of quiet emotion float on the surface like white paper on foam, being pulled back under the ebbing sea of tape hiss. Limited to one hundred copies, these pieces feel like whispers to friends, shared secrets, and love letters; like eavesdropping on something deeply personal. It hurts. It haunts.

Remastered, and available on CD for the first time from con-v

“Leftovers (Reworked)” is a consequence of “Scytale”, the Shinkei + Mise_En_Scene release on the Japanese label mAtter. During its preparation, some of the tracks were edited out due to space constraints. They were later released as “Leftover_1” on Dragon’s Eye Recordings and were further reworked with guest artists to originate the present compilation.

Originally self-published as a very limited triple 3" CDR release in May, 2009,
Celer's Levitation And Breaking Points is now available again on CD - this time
limited to 300 copies. Surely one of Celer's most subtly beautiful and uplifting
albums out of an already beautiful, highly prolific and much celebrated
discography of work. Especially magical to listen to in the early evening as the
sunlight fades below the horizon... a balm for the soul.

Track list:

1. Floating Parasomnia
2. The Enlightened Scapegrace
3. Obtuse Sensibility
