130701

130701 is a sublabel of the British independent label FatCat Records, based in Brighton. Established in 2001, it serves as an outlet for more orchestrated and instrumental material. The label takes its name from the date of its inception: 13 July 2001. It is also known as 130701.

The label focuses on releasing music that is richly composed and showcases the talents of *artists* who create beautiful soundscapes through their instrumental works. With a commitment to quality and innovation, 130701 has become a respected name in the music industry.

As part of FatCat Records, *130701* benefits from being associated with an established and reputable record label that has been at the forefront of independent music since its formation in 1997. Together, they continue to support and promote talented musicians who push boundaries and create unique musical experiences.

Clarice Jensen is a talented cellist known for her captivating performances and innovative compositions. With a unique blend of classical training and contemporary influences, she has established herself as a prominent figure in the music industry.
Her music is often described as mesmerizing and emotive, drawing listeners in with its rich textures and haunting melodies. Jensen's work has been compared to that of artists such as Ben Russell, Sarah Davachi, and Richard Carr.
Collaborating with renowned musicians like Grace Davidson, Louisa Fuller, and Kassel Jaeger, Jensen has created unforgettable musical experiences that transcend genres. Her contributions to projects with Deutsches Filmorchester Babelsberg and Lawrence English have further showcased her versatility as an artist.

Brooklyn-based cellist Clarice Jensen’s gorgeous sophomore album and first for FatCat’s pioneering 130701 imprint, The experience of repetition as death, was recorded and mixed by Francesco Donadello at Vox-Ton studios in Berlin in late 2018 and mastered by Rafael Anton Irisarri. Following up her hugely impressive 2018 debut, For This From That Will Be Filled, which included collaborations with Jóhann Jóhannsson and Michael Harrison, all of the material on this new album was written and performed by Clarice alone and all of the sounds on it were created with a cello through a variety of effects and effects pedals.

Expanding her sound again, The experience of repetition as death is a warm, deep and cyclical album that explores notions of repetition in both its conceptual underpinning and musical structure. Unlike the easily readable step builds and grid-locked looping of so many artists using the looper as a compositional tool, Clarice’s loops slide across one another in organically morphing structures; align and intersect at different moments, yielding a kind of aleatoric yet minimal counterpoint, with joins overlaid in ways that appear seamless and sophisticated. Where her live performance relies heavily upon the use of loop pedals, in the studio she and Donadello recorded much of the material onto tape to create a series of physical loops. There’s something oceanic in the immensity of the resulting work - in the ebb and flow of her sound and the way it builds and dissipates through swelling and wave reflection.
