Ivan Black

“Genuit Machina EP”

A machine is a tool consisting of one or more parts that is constructed to achieve a particular goal. Machines are powered devices, usually mechanically, chemically, thermally or electrically powered, and are frequently motorized. Historically, a device required moving parts to classify as a machine; however, the advent of electronics technology has led to the development of devices without moving parts that are considered machines. This work explores the making of machines musically, using their sounds to create feeling, ambience and rhythm. A series of electronic parts to flow and move like a created, imagined machine.

In Vitro & Nulix

“Nuevos Tiempos”

This work involves new techniques of In Vitro’s sound production, partly taken from the ‘yosoyunotrotu’ project. Music is inspired by the desire of a new time, another possible world, many better worlds. Focused on making spontaneous textures of sound and strong doses of improvisation Nulix completes perfectly this circle with his unique treatment of resonant waves of energy.

“Deus est Lux I”

//Release Date
August 2012

Deus est Lux I is the first track of what should become, God willing, a series of tracks, perhaps similar to the peacemaker series. Deus est Lux I is a peaceful journey through a sonic soundscape, filled with calm rivers of changing harmonies. This track is a result of an eager desire to create sounds that journey to the edge of unchanging, peaceful solitude.

1 John 1:5 “This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.”

poj.wlkp – Most
[UPL 042]

poj.wlkp

“Most”

While preparing material for the new album, it appeared that between the previous album “Gdybym Umiał Mówić” and the present enough nice songs were created to be issued on a separate record. What sticks out on “Most” are three versions of the title songs, in very different arrangements. As always poj.wlkp tries to avoid obvious solutions and reaches for surprising stylistic and rhythmic measures, keeping in touch with the lyrical melodicism and intimate, somewhat dark atmosphere.

Background Radiation

“False Start EP”

No-Source Netlabel is pleased to bring you the re-release of Background Radiation’s debut EP. The amusingly titled “False Start” was originally released in 2008 on Jog/Shuttle. The 2012 version has been recently remastered and contains a previously unreleased bonus track. This new track, titled “Recovery Basin,” is based upon elements from their 2010 track “Discovery Basin.” “Discovery Basin” can be found on No-Source’s debut compilation “Hey You, Choose Your Own Adventure.” Like Background Radiation’s second EP, “Moot Point,” “False Start” combines acoustic instruments with downtempo electro-pop experimentalism.

Ross Baker – Photographic Reflection

Ross Baker – Photographic Reflection

acoustic, ambient, field recording

[NS054]

Ross Baker

“Photographic Reflection”

Ross Baker has been composing electronic music under the name Second Thought since early 2000. His recent musical endeavors under his birth name have taken a more acoustic path. Ross Baker’s new album, “Photographic Reflection,” is as an electro-acoustic journey through fields and time. The style is in many ways similar to Ross’s previous efforts, “The Blackbird’s Revenge” and “Revolution 2.” The album starts with just field recordings of birds and field work. “Holly Blue” pairs the sound of rain, birds, and an acoustic guitar. “Sleepers Made of Stone” showcases guitar and reverberated vocals in a more traditional folk song structure. “Field’s & Valleys” juxtaposes the sound of birds and a small trickle of water with that of lush ambient textures and grandiose chords. The contemplative title track is a peaceful instrumental with guitar and synths that makes you sit back and daydream. “Song Thrush”, another ambient piece on the album, is coated in distortion. “Clockwork Wasp”, though less traditional, shares similarities with “Sleepers Made of Stone”. “Spires” is an amazing, repetitive, instrumental guitar piece with spoken word dialogue. “Grandpatients” is a lovely reverberated ambient piano piece similar to some piano pieces by Second Thought. The album closes with “Sundown Over Farmer’s Field”, a darker version of “Holly Blue” that fades out in field recordings similar to the opening track. “Photographic Reflection” is an album of contemplation over nostalgia. It makes you want to dig into your past, unearth old photographs, and pour over those memories with a cup of tea.

Thuuooom – remix, repeat
[thump310]

Thuuooom

“remix, repeat”

‘remix, repeat’ is an ep where original rock songs have been transformed into unrecognisable ambient/noise drones. These remixes come from the same sessions that gave birth to Thuuooom’s second full-length, ‘Uinua’, and continue his ambient explorations into deep aural space. This record closes the fourth creative cycle of Thuoom, the so-called spring cycle, which also gave birth to above mentioned ‘Uinua’ as well as ‘re:EP’.

Hielo En Varsovia

“Hielo En Varsovia”

Hielo en Varsovia was born in Madrid in 2010 crossing the dark talents of Narcoleptica (guitar) and the interest of ex-members of 8bits To Die, Ki (keyboard and vocals) and Buddy (drums and vocals), to explore other areas in his new musical project.

The noise accompanying their anguished melodies creating landscapes closer to the subconscious that in real life, opting for a sound that mixes the new/dark/cold wave, with its obvious post-punk will.

His first album with us is the same name and contains 13 songs full of abyss and sulfur. A prodigy.

Paul Wady

“The Terminal Beach”

A soundtrack to the J G Ballard short story.

Linear Obsessional’s first release of synthesizer music (but our second of music related to the work of JG Ballard see LOR010), Paul Wady’s haunting and austere work took something like 30 years to reach fruition. Finally recorded in 2009 “The Terminal Beach” is as strange, emotionally void and as powerfully compulsive as its subject matter

“I found many ways out of this nihilistic world of the early 80s. But it left me with a great deal to express, and for me the only way to do it was with musical instruments cold and mechanical enough to do it” – Paul Wady (from the accompanying notes)

Release comes with detailed 18 page A5 PDF booklet of notes and photographs by the composer.

Leithal – Atonality
[HAZE150]

Leithal

“Atonality”

Leithal based in Leith, Edinburgh, Scotland. Making music for a few years.
It’s the music of differences, a mixed bag of tunes, sounding like a compilation album with no central thread just the knots of sound patterned in a coherent way, sometimes working out. Sometimes sketches of ideas which in themselves are legitimate and complete. Eclectic or random? As the drum machine of eternity reaches tentatively towards one of many infinities, a pattern may emerge. Or something.
Once and only once described as the bastard offspring of Jean Michel Jarre and Aphex Twin.
Anyone want to adopt?

Regina Burbach

“Serendipity Effects”

We are proud to host the first online release by Regina Burbach, a german sound artist based in Bremen. Burbach presents a two-track album full of field recordings and foley materials. Both pieces presented can be heard as a soundscape collage from different locations, sites and places. The two compositions are a very good example of the way Burbach understands as soundscape composition and its usage as musical material.
