Nomad Exquisite Releases New Works by A.F. Jones and Seth Cooke

Nomad Exquisite is a recently started Chicago-based label that is committed to releasing short-form pieces from experimental artists. All releases will not exceed 13 minutes in total. These “miniatures” are “prompted by the brevity of life” and aim to provide a survey of contemporary experimental music.

The label has just put up two new releases, one of which is by A.F. Jones and the other by Seth Cooke. Jones’s piece is entitled larkspur, iron filings and was birthed from a period of change and uncertainty. He views the piece, however, as optimistic. A working out and working through of circumstances that have a final resolve. You can stream the album above and purchase it via the album’s Bandcamp page here.

Cooke’s release is entitled The Slip and features six tracks that all last two minutes and four seconds. The description for the album features numerous quotes that are derived from various sources. You can stream the album above and purchase it via its Bandcamp page here.

Earlier this year, Nomad Exquisite released four other miniatures. You can view the label’s entire catalogue here.
