Adrien d’Elzius

“Silent Revolution”

New EP “Silent Revolution” from Adrien d’Elzius (formerly known as hosmOz) shows different facets of real IDM music: while taking the roots from the masters of the genre, with the trademark glitches, clicks and cuts, it has its own unique face with all the subtle melodies and atmospheres – and everything between the lines. As everyone else, artists have to find their place and purpose, and in this increasingly cold and surreal world, invaded by artificial intelligence technologies, the task can be delicate. The only revolution worth carrying out is an inner revolution, and the track titles give a clue to where to look to find inspirations from those who can light a candle in our inner chaos.

Fields Ohio- Don’t Stare at the Sun When Your Hands are on Fire

Don’t Stare at the Sun When Your Hands are on Fire

Fields Ohio – Don’t Stare at the Sun When Your Hands are on Fire

Fields Ohio

“Don’t Stare at the Sun When Your Hands are on Fire”

LINER NOTES

Bien que moins souvent à l’honneur dans nos pages que d’autres projets du New-Yorkais Eddie Palmer (citons Cloudwarmer, Aries Death Cult ou feu The Fucked Up Beat en plus de ses albums solo), ce duo plus acoustique et psyché qui l’associe à la multi-instrumentiste et vocaliste Christine Annarino fait preuve d’une belle constance depuis une dizaine d’années d’existence, avec une quinzaine de sorties au compteur, pour l’essentiel en long format.

Déjà auteurs cette année de l’excellent “Valkyrie”, typique de l’univers des Américains entre trip-hop mystique aux accents world music, downtempo-patchouli densément arrangé et touches electro hédonistes, on imaginait les Fields Ohio persister et signer dans leur admirable pré carré Ninja-Tunesque (de la belle époque) avec cette suite. Loin s’en faut ! Si “Don’t Stare at the Sun When Your Hands are on Fire” se décline au gré de la double-hélice d’un ADN désormais bien connu, il donne également l’occasion aux deux musiciens de se réinventer avec subtilité. Les rythmiques ici sont souvent plus feutrées, les textures plus oniriques et gorgées de reverb au diapason des nappes de synthés scintillantes d’Eddie, les lignes acoustiques et vocales de Christine fondues dans l’ensemble avec une homogénéité toute particulière, les mélodies presque serpentines et d’une fluidité qui évoque l’eau, élément omniprésent sur le disque.

Souvent inspiré par la contemplation de la rivière Hudson que surplombe son appartement new-yorkais ou par ses sorties au bord de l’océan, Eddie Palmer y trouve en effet matière à se concentrer sur le présent, autre thème central de l’album. “Don’t Stare at the Sun When Your Hands are on Fire” sonne ainsi comme un rappel à l’ordre que l’on se fait, dans ces moments de chaos que la vie nous réserve : affronter les problèmes un à un, un jour après l’autre, sans se préoccuper de trop d’un futur encore lointain et abstrait. Autant de sensations – ligne d’horizon, impermanence et abstraction – qui président à cette superbe collection d’instrumentaux au groove impressionniste et hypnotique.

ENGLISH VERSION

Although not featured in our website’s columns as often as other projects by New Yorker Eddie Palmer (including Cloudwarmer, Aries Death Cult or the late great The Fucked Up Beat, in addition to his solo albums), this more acoustic and psychedelic duo associating him with multi-instrumentalist and vocalist Christine Annarino has shown great consistency over the span of its ten years of existence, with about fifteen releases so far.

After dropping earlier this year the excellent “Valkyrie”, representative of the band’s signature sound somewhere between mystical trip-hop with “world music” elements, densely arranged downtempo psychedelics and hedonistic electronic touches, we imagined that Fields Ohio would go on with that “great Ninja Tune era” trademark with its follow-up. Not exactly though ! Even if “Don’t Stare at the Sun When Your Hands are on Fire” remains consistent with that henceforth well-known DNA, it also gives the two musicians the opportunity to subtly reinvent themselves. The beats here are often more subdued, the textures more dreamlike and bursting with reverb in tune with Eddie’s scintillating synth pads, Christine’s acoustic and vocal lines melt into the whole with more homogeneity, and the melodies’ fluidity evoke water, an omnipresent element on the record.

The contemplation of the Hudson River from his New York apartment or his outings by the ocean indeed help Eddie Palmer to focus on the present, another central theme of the album. “Don’t Stare at the Sun When Your Hands are on Fire” thus sounds like a reminder, in these moments of chaos that life has in store for us: facing the problems one by one, one day after another, without worrying too much about a still distant and abstract future. So many sensations – the horizon, impermanence and abstraction – which preside over the impressionistic and hypnotic groove of this impressive new collection of instrumentals.

Reversed Bear Trap – Psionic Youth

Reversed Bear Trap

Reversed Bear Trap

“Psionic Youth”

This is the label debut of Reversed Bear Trap, a musical project that draws upon samples to blur the boundaries between mainstream pop and experimental noise music in order to explore what we can learn from sampling. Psionic Youth in particular blends pop rap, synthpop, techno, noise and black metal in a disorienting, chaotic blend that will hopefully at the very least make the listener smile as they recognize familiar sounds in new contexts.

Surreal stories about Cruxorium intergalactic race. Cyber, abstract, underground, sci-fi, ambient, dark, experimental hip hop.

Once upon a time, in a faraway galaxy, there was a desert planet called Cruxorium. The planet was known for its harsh environment, with scorching temperatures during the day and freezing temperatures at night. Despite the planet’s difficult conditions, the Cruxorians, the planet’s strong and brave residents, thrived. The Cruxorians were humanoid beings with skin that adapted to the extreme temperatures of the planet. They were tall, muscular, and had sharp senses, making them excellent hunters and warriors.

Spirit of Gravity – A poem in six parts

Spirit of Gravity

Spirit of Gravity

“A poem in six parts”

This is our brave attempt to epitomise our first 21 years as a Brighton-based platform for out-there music and sound.The album kicks off with Alien Alarms’ spasming sequencer grid trying to overcome the bird like nature of Ieva Dubova’s free and defiant piano, moving into the hypnotic cycles of Ensemble 1, with side one being rounded out by Spirit of Gravity host and overlord McCloud with his Banksy sampling, drone and Casio soup.

Side 2 moves from the introspective minimalism of Andrew Greaves, to Spirit of Gravity founders This Sound Bureaucracy reminiscing on the psychohistory of the ‘Gravity, and ending up with Gun Boiler’s maths-as-mayhem banger.

Representing the range of what we do at SoG, from lurching breakbeats to free noise and many points in between, this album is a slice of our musical life.

Karlheinz Essl – No-Input Mixer Studies

Karlheinz Essl – No-Input Mixer Studies

Karlheinz Essl

“No-Input Mixer Studies”

Karlheinz Essl, born in Vienna in 1960, is a pioneering avant-garde composer known for his groundbreaking work in instrumental and electronic music. Embracing technology from the early 1980s, Essl delved into the realm of computers, where he developed innovative software for algorithmic composition and real-time performance. One of his most influential creations, the RTC-lib (Real Time Composition Library for Max), originated at IRCAM in Paris in 1991 and remains widely used in the computer music community.

In 2022, Essl embarked on a daring exploration of new avenues in electronic music, shifting away from computers and digital tools to embrace the captivating world of analog modular synthesizers. This artistic journey birthed two captivating works: “Coastlines,” a work-in-progress performed on a MakeNoise O-COAST modular synth, and the suite “Throbbing Crystals,” a four-movement masterpiece played on a Doepfer DARK ENERGY synth. In these compositions, Essl discarded conventional keyboards and sequencers, opting instead for non-linear feedback systems that offered chaotic and enthralling sonic landscapes. He likened performing live on this “wild instrument” to riding a spirited horse across Lake Constance, where constant control and adjustment of countless knobs forged an unforgettable sonic trail.

In 2023, Essl ventured further into the uncharted territory of sound by exploring a broken analog mixer he stumbled upon in his studio. Remaining faithful to the concept of non-linear feedback systems, he experimented with different modes of interaction, generating sounds solely by feeding the output back into the input. This unique approach was orchestrated through instrumental control, utilizing faders and knobs to manipulate the sound, with even the slightest finger movement causing dramatic shifts in the sonic output.

In a whirlwind of creativity spanning just three days, from July 3 to 5, 2023, Essl recorded the seven tracks that comprise his magnum opus “Studies for No-Input Mixer.” Each track employed a distinct number of “voices” arranged in counterpoint, paying homage to Conlon Nancarrow’s legendary “Studies for Player Piano,” which served as an inspirational and motivational source, pushing Essl to brave the unexplored territories of sound.

*****

Beyond his remarkable accomplishments as a composer and performer, Essl’s journey in music has been enriched by diverse roles as an improviser, media artist, and software developer. He studied composition under Friedrich Cerha in Vienna and furthered his passion for musicology, completing his studies with a dissertation on Anton Webern. His tenure as composer-in-residence at the Darmstadt Summer School (1990-94) and IRCAM in Paris (1991-93) further fueled his artistic growth.

With a profound affinity for the poetics of serial music, Essl’s pioneering work with computers and algorithmic composition significantly influenced his approach to composition. During the 1990s, he explored innovative projects for the Internet while increasingly immersing himself in the world of improvisation. His prominence as a composer led to his feature at the prestigious Salzburg Festival in 1997.

In addition to his work in instrumental music, Karlheinz Essl is a trailblazer in electronic music, interactive real-time compositions, and sound installations. He crafts software environments to facilitate algorithmic composition and live electronics, allowing him to play his unique computer-based composition setups, as well as an array of instruments ranging from toy piano and electric guitar to analog synthesizers.

Karlheinz Essl’s musical odyssey is one of constant exploration and innovation, pushing the boundaries of modern music aesthetics and leaving an indelible mark on the landscape of contemporary electronic and experimental music.
