A very special vinyl record lp in full colour sleeve.

Penultimate Press is proud to unveil a global collaboration that harnesses earth with combined members and atmospheres of Santiago, Chile, Salsipuedes, Argentina, Melbourne, Australia and Berlin, Germany.

El Jardín de las Matemáticas (The Garden of Mathematics) was written and recorded by Alvaro Daguer (Glorias Navales/A Full Cosmic Sound/ETCS Records), Pablo Picco (Bardo Todol/Bolinga Everest Records), Tomás Salvatierra (Glorias Navales) and Mark Harwood (Penultimate Press).

Utilising Chinese drum, ocarina, shakers, flutes, whistles, violin, bells, acoustic guitar, gongs, clarinet, n’vike, harmonium, Korg ms-20, moceño, tapes. owl flute and more, The Garden of Mathematics is an alluring, alien, bizarre, colourful, curious, fascinating, peculiar, romantic and astonishing recording where beauty coexists with unsusual atmospheres in an exotic exploration of sound and song.

Navigating waters possibly traversed by Angus Maclise, Pygmy Unit or Charlie Nothing the nine tracks the Garden brings forth take the listener on a journey through sound and song via nature and the expansive mind.

The results are a wild mix of folk, ethnomusicology, musique concrete and psychedelia, acoustic DMT if you will.
