Born: March 1, 1984    Primary Instrument:

Ambient/Improv duo 5turns25 officially announces their release of four debut albums. After forming on the 25th anniversary of the Landsat 5 satellite launch [3.1.2009], John Kasiewicz and Dan Tressler spent several cold winter's nights in a Connecticut barn surrounded with instruments, looping pedals and a straight-to-stereo-mix recording device. Their collaboration resulted in four albums: Cloud Unfolded, Origin Of Claws, Elephant Platform, and Hamsters On Treadmills [all four released on Scattered Disc/April 2009]. In addition to these recordings, 5turns25 also performs live as part of a monthly residency every fourth Wednesday at the Georgetown Saloon in Georgetown, Connecticut [USA].

”Great atmosphere and some nice and long loops. I really liked the subtleties and the noises behind and the everlasting feeling... Great stuff! A lot of blow-instrument-sounds. I like that!... I like the feeling of ebb & flow in your music a lot!... Dreamy, that's what I think ;)... Nice music with a lot of deep feelings... Nice songs and universe in it!... Sounds nice, guys! Some colours remind me on Philip Glass... I like what I hear. Sounds like space we need!... Very very interesting sounds!!!... Sounds very relaxing to me, which is very nice for a change in the sometimes very overloaded my space world!... Relaxing, sounds like effortless but it's awesome, awesome... Sparse electroacoustic images...blurred visions of distant places...familiar areas, I think I have been here before... Nice textures and soundscaping. It's my cup of tea... Your use of minimalism and textures is effective. Great stuff... Your music have glassy beauty. Great!!! I'm charmed with it... Quite ambient and acoustic with some sort of minimalist touch.... It is a pleasure to discover your fine, sensitive music full of atmosphere... I'm thinking 2001: a space odyssey. Very beautiful work!... I like your melancholic, blue mood!... Intriguing world you've managed to carve... Your tunes aren't just stellar, they are interstellar... The structure of the music is especially intriguing... Wonderful music, very slinky and smooth... Really nice and intense stimulating chords... Very quiet and smooth. Very cool and sometimes wet. Atmospheric. Biospheric... Kind of folky in a good way..like John Fahey meets the future... A rumble of joy coming from space... Kind of a John Berry On Psychedelics!!... Awesome tracks. I love how smouldering and lo-fi they are... Your sound = magic.”
