Mark Templeton Ballads (2010, self released) RIYL = Tim Hecker, The Field, Belong I'm not much for EPs. Maybe you've noticed, all one bajillion of you who have sent me your debut EPs without a response. Forgive me, really. I don't know what stops me from being able to commit myself to downloading and listening to something of that length. It should be easier right? (Don't give up, send me your full lengths.) Yet, I do take exception for some. Enter Mark Templeton's Ballads . While I genuinely loved his collaboration with aA. [...]
Hellosquare are, as they kept reminding us through the course of this evening, "a small Australian label". Humble Australians. Fancy. They made this voyage round the globe to put on a one-off show at Cafe Oto featuring some friends of the label - not just from Australia, but from Canada, Italy and the UK too. [...]

Among the first artists featured back in our 2007 dawn ( here , in fact), Mark Templeton 's densely dreamy fragilities have become increasingly core, non-negotiable listening for LMYE - one of our 20 artists of 2009 & a lynchpin (alongside two more wonders, Ezekiel Honig & Klimek) of Anticipate , one of our five top labels of last year . All of his releases - including the delicate, classic Standing on a Hummingbird [...]

Mark Templeton's last release Standing On A Hummingbird had me rummaging around in the box of adjectives I normally reserve to describe Fennesz records. Those two artists have since turned their back on each other, musically speaking, with the Austrian marching off into much darker and denser forests, and the Canadian heading into lighter, sun-dappled [...]

Mark Templeton Inland (05.2009, Anticipate) RIYL = Geoff Mullen, Fennesz, Pandatone It was only two years ago when Mark Templeton dropped the flagship release for Ezekiel Honig's Anticipate label and, despite the insanely high grade of releases that have been released on Anticipate since, that release – Standing On A Hummingbird – has remained, for me, the very best. That is until now. Sometimes I wish I could just explode nonsense onto Forest Gospel for miles on end just to display the uselessness of conveying praise and adoration for a specific album [...]

Mark Templeton + aA. Munson Acre Loss (01.2009, Anticipate) Verdict = Geoff Mullen, Colleen, Chihei Hatakeyama It feels kinda cheap to be reviewing solely the musical side of Acre Loss , a truly collaborative effort between Mark Templeton and aA. Munson. The project was conceived as an artistic melding of visual and audio mediums to be produced as a DVD which is supplemented with a CD of the musical tracks. As such, it only make sense that this thing is coming from Anticipate, who has already spearheaded similar projects seeking to [...]

Playing this, I can't help the feeling that I'm turning up at someone's house when he least expects it. It is cold and dark, he seems a bit sleepy, but he is scurrying about, trying desperately to tidy up, stuffing dishes in the bookcase and books in the dishwasher. ( Or is he trying to hide something? What exactly have I walked in on? Is my way back out still clear? Make excuses. Back up slowly. Back up a bit quicker. Slam door, run.) "Standing On A Hummingbird" seems to [...]

Mein Dienstag gehört mal wieder ganz den elektronischen Klängen... Ezekiel Honig hat nun endlich sein Label ans Licht gezerrt, das sich ganz neuen, unentdeckten Klängen öffnet. Er nennt es "electro-akustik, ambient und slow motion techno". Da ich mich mit Genre-Beschreibungen immer sehr schwer getan habe, und schwer tun werde, zitiere ich ihn einfach mal unkommentiert. Als erster wurde Mark Templeton angeheuert, dessen "Holden into Ryley" EP dort zum Gratis-Download vorliegt. mp3: Mark Templeton / I cut along lines Etwas gefälliger ist Yuzo Kako , dessen Klangspiele meistens strenger kalkuliert [...]
