Auscultation is an atmospheric house project of Portland, Oregon-based electronic musician Joel Shanahan, otherwise known as <a href="spotify:artist:4TUHeeBOpN5mFVPorP5OXo">Golden Donna</a> and Purpura. On releases such as 2020 full-length III, he blends sophisticated beat patterns with smooth, shifting textures and uplifting melodies.
Initially based in Madison, Wisconsin, Shanahan started releasing material as <a href="spotify:artist:4TUHeeBOpN5mFVPorP5OXo">Golden Donna</a> during the early 2010s, and ran a small label called Signal Dreams. Golden Donna, an LP of shimmering, arpeggio-heavy electro soundscapes, was released by <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Not+Not+Fun%22">Not Not Fun</a> in November of 2012. While the project continued issuing cassettes and 12" EPs on various labels, including CGI Records and <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22NNF%22">NNF</a>'s sister <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22100%25+Silk%22">100% Silk</a>, Shanahan began releasing more deep house-influenced material as Auscultation. The moniker's self-titled cassette appeared on <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%221080p%22">1080p</a> in 2014, and the more expansive L’étreinte Imaginaire was issued by <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22100%25+Silk%22">100% Silk</a> the following year. A handful of limited releases and compilation appearances preceded Auscultation's first vinyl LP, III, which was released by <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22100%25+Silk%22">100% Silk</a> in 2020. ~ Paul Simpson, Rovi
