On their second EP, Isolated Gate have gone long-form. No Heart No
Home, originally a seven minute piece commissioned by Arts South Australia and the Womadelaide Festival necessitated a longer arrangement into which Isolated Gater Tim Koch threw himself along with additional cello by Sydney-sider Peter Hollo. Extended to its present glorious length of 14:40 allows the listener to fully immerse themselves in the dark world of reluctant but involuntary refuges. The song is sung entirely in Japanese by Ian Masters.

Side two finds IG in a more playful mood with pieces incorporating observations and feelings about gender fluidity "Confusion Is Bliss", multiple realities "Somewhere Anywhere" and the first of many forays into ambient sonic landscapes, "Amniotic Excavations".

These pieces have been in development for some time, along with tracks for the debut album, but working on both releases simultaneously has allowed Tim and Ian to find the logical place to slot them in. - Ian Masters


Hapax Legomenon description:

Isolated Gate is Ian Masters (Pale Saints) and Tim Koch (CPU, Ghostly International). Ian and Tim work together online via Osaka and Adelaide. A full-length is planned for release on Darla in Fall 2022.


Hapax Legomenon is a distillation of ideas brought together in playful collaboration across the sea. The songs bounce and ricochet between all 10 dimensions from A Clockwork Orange to The Expanding Universe to Musik von Harmonia to A Rainbow in Curved Air to Computer World to My Life in the Bush of Ghosts to On Land to Little Fluffy Clouds to Selected Ambient Works and Come to Daddy and beyond.

The EP travels sonically through Krautrock clouds, Poppy fields of fragmented melody and even dips into subterranean experimental bunkers of fractured ambience.

Isolated Gate are presently focused on creating their debut album of thought poems and sound-colour to both distill and expand the energies revealed on Hapax Legomenon.
