about

After one year of working together, Canigou Records and Breton Cassette are so happy to announce that Homing by Liis Ring (EE) is released today everywhere

Homing is available digitally as well as physically as an edition of 100 limited edition (and rather beautiful) cassette packages containing Liis’ most recent sound work and 72 original photos, collected in handmade cases. You can listen and buy through the link in our bio.

The photos and sound for this release were captured and recorded by Liis between 2018 and 2023 and can be seen as fragmented memories from an ongoing search for a definition of home.

Through “Homing”, Liis shares how she as both a musician and a photographer connects her two practices together, and how she sees them as extensions of one another: the sound prolongs the image; the image concretises the sound.

We are so thankful for the opportunity to work with you for the last year, Liis, and appreciate all the time we have spent together, for the wonderful musician and visual artist you are and for the friendship that has risen out of this collaboration.

Sound, images and text by Liis Ring
Mastered by the legend Adam Badí Donoval
Documentation by Erik Mowinckel

Homing is supported by Association of Norwegian Visual Artists and Arts and Cultures Norway

////

homing is the ability to return home over great distances.

but those distances often exceed physical dimensions.

for a home is much more than just a place.
it is also people.
memories.
feelings.

maybe
a sound,
an image.

’Homing’ is a return to a home in the metaphysical sense; a home
for someone who doesn’t have one to return to, or for someone
whose home is an afterimage of fragmented memories, spread
across the universe.

///
the photos and sound of this release are captured and recorded
with whatever equipment was available, in places that fet like
home, between 2018 and 2023.
the guitar on ’prologue: reverie’ are played by Christoffer Rutström
from our kitchen;
the field recordings on ’after-image III: pärastlõunad’ contain the
songs ’Misty’ being played some kilometers away from our garden
by ensemble Valmieras Muitenes and big band Valmieras Puikas,
as well as ’Tüdruk’ playing on the kitchen radio while we were
talking with grandpa.
thank you Pernille and Carlos for your trust in me and this project;
to Christoffer for your presence and support; to my course mates
and teachers at HDK-Valand for your helpful feedback; to Daido
Moriyama, Luigi Ghirri and Anders Edström for their inspiring work;
to my family for their interest and patience; and to Tõnu and Laura
for hosting me at Tahkuna Lighthouse.
