Aguirre Records present Ian William Craig's Meaning Turns to Whispers. Ian is a trained opera singer and painter out of Vancouver, Canada. Over the last few years he has proved to be one of the most original artists active in the ambient/experimental genre. His debut A Turn Of Breath (2014) and the follow-up, Cradle For The Wanting (2015) received high acclaim. Meaning Turns to Whispers is a combination of piano improvisations and FM feedback loops, recorded over various winters from 2009 to 2011 and edited down, manipulated and degraded to reveal some of their hidden spaces. The discreet piano layers mixed with waves of white noise are intriguing making you long for more. Meaning Turns to Whispers is a record rooted in a gorgeous neo-classical tradition, but totally fucked up by tape manipulations that made it anything but pretty. For Craig, the use of reel-to-reels is a way of decaying sentimentality: any time his music has come too close to meeting his expectations, he uproots it, creating impervious walls or bursts of modest but stupefying noise. In choice moments on Meaning, you can hear Craig trying to imagine the lived lives of his inanimate instruments; you hear him beam down on the piano, it's wooden infrastructure revealed, sounding like it has it's own set of motivations. "I was living with my sister in Edmonton, and during the ridiculously cold winter, I gutted her piano and mic'd it up in a whole bunch of weird ways. I recorded probably twenty hours of material, and after listening to it I was amazed at how much it sounded like sentimental crap. At that point I was really trying to express something, and afterwards I thought the only way through would be to destroy the recordings, and that's what Meaning Turns To Whispers is. It's completely mangled to remove that struggle for expression. I realized at the end of that album that I didn't want to express, I just wanted to explore." Mastered by Sean McCann at Recital. Lacquer cut by Christoph Grote-Beverborg at Dubplates & Mastering. Edition of 500.

It’s been several months and all 3 still intact!
I have to be very selective because MOST toys labled recommended for “aggressive chewer” last about 20 minutes. Not kidding. These are the real deal. I’ve had these for several months now and all 3 are shockingly still completely intact and look like they did the day I got them.

Great option
Got this pack of toys for my new Great Dane puppy. He is in a very intense chewing phase and so far these are holding up. He loves that they squeak, and make a crinkly noise in the legs. I love that there is no stuffing to clean up if he manages to get it open. They way the arms move and flail really makes him love these toys. Will buy again when he needs new ones.

Great buy! My dogs love e them
My dogs love these things but don't last long with my crew. They aren't meant for aggressive chewers. Which mine are but I still buy them because my dogs love playing with them. I have one dog who is a pro at removing squeaky within 5 secs , no lie she's mastered it. Def do not leave your dog unattended. I immediately take the removed squeaky and toss it. My other dog gets the crinkle plastic out whi h I also throw away. They still play with them. I toss them when they are torn to shreds and replace them. My dogs are picky on which toys they like to play with. Which is why I keep buying them.

Not for aggressive chewers
My dogs enjoy them, but the terrier had holes in the head in minutes. Stuffing and squeaker didn’t last, but they enjoy the legs and crinkles.
