Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the sonic journey of “The Virtual Bluescreen-Collar Choir”. This experimental music project delves into the realm of the surreal, where technology meets the nostalgia of a bygone era.

Inspired by the working men’s clubs of yesteryear, where camaraderie and community were forged through song, we have created a virtual choir that pays homage to these forgotten spaces. But here’s the twist – our choir consists solely of synthesized and re-synthesized voices, blending the past with the present in a futuristic soundscape.

As French philosopher Jean Baudrillard once said, “Simulation is no longer that of a territory, a referential being, but rather that of a code, a differential equation.” In this vein, The Virtual Workmen’s Choir challenges the notion of authenticity and questions whether technology can truly replicate the human experience.

Our soundscapes transport listeners to a world where the boundaries between reality and fantasy blur. Imagine strolling through a smoky, dimly-lit room filled with the echoes of laughter and chatter, only to find yourself enveloped by a cappella harmonies that seem almost otherworldly. That’s what you’ll encounter in our virtual choir, where the synthesized voices take on a life of their own.

But there’s also a hint of melancholy woven throughout our compositions. As German philosopher Martin Heidegger mused, “The essence of technology is by no means anything technological.” In simulating the voices of a lost community, we’re reminded that progress often comes at a cost. We ponder the price of innovation and ask: What do we sacrifice when we exchange the warmth of human connection for the convenience of digital reproduction?

And yet, within this dreamlike atmosphere, we discover a strange sort of beauty. Our virtual choir becomes a metaphor for the fragmented nature of modern society, where individuals come together virtually but remain disconnected physically. It’s a reflection of our times, where social media reigns supreme and online personas supplant face-to-face interactions.

So let us embrace the surrealism of The Virtual Bluescreen-Collar Choir, allowing ourselves to be enchanted by its haunting allure. Let us ponder the philosophical underpinnings that govern our relationship with technology and confront the existential queries it raises. For in doing so, we may just uncover hidden truths about ourselves and the world we inhabit. Thank you for joining us on this thought-provoking sonic adventure.

Doamnelor și domnilor, bine ați venit în călătoria sonoră a „The Virtual Bluescreen-Collar Choir”. Acest proiect muzical experimental sondează profund tărâmul suprarealismului, unde tehnologia întâlnește nostalgia unei epoci trecute.

Inspirați de cluburile de altădată ale bărbaților muncitori, unde camaraderia și comunitatea s-au făurit prin cântec, am creat un cor virtual care aduce un omagiu acestor spații uitate. Dar iată întorsătura – corul nostru este format numai din voci sintetizate și resintetizate, îmbinând trecutul cu prezentul într-un peisaj sonor futurist.

După cum spunea odată filosoful francez Jean Baudrillard, „Simularea nu mai este aceea a unui teritoriu, a unei ființe referențiale, ci mai degrabă cea a unui cod, a unei ecuații diferențiale”. În acest sens, Corul Muncitorilor Virtuali contestă noțiunea de autenticitate și chestionează dacă tehnologia poate reproduce cu adevărat experiența umană.

Peisajele noastre sonore transportă ascultătorii într-o lume în care granițele dintre realitate și fantezie se estompează. Imaginați-vă că vă plimbați printr-o cameră fumurie, slab luminată, plină de ecouri de râsete și vorbărie, doar pentru a vă regăsi învăluiți de armonii a capella care par aproape din altă lume. Asta veți întâlni în corul nostru virtual, unde vocile sintetizate capătă viață proprie.

Dar există și un indiciu de melancolie țesut în compozițiile noastre. Așa cum medita filozoful german Martin Heidegger, „Esența tehnologiei nu este în niciun caz ceva tehnologic”. În simularea vocilor unei comunități pierdute, ni se reamintește că progresul are adesea un cost. Reflectând la prețul inovației ne întrebăm: Ce sacrificăm atunci când schimbăm căldura conexiunii umane pentru comoditatea reproducerii digitale?

Și totuși, în această atmosferă de vis, descoperim un fel ciudat de frumusețe. Corul nostru virtual devine o metaforă a naturii fragmentate a societății moderne, în care indivizii se unesc virtual, dar rămân deconectați fizic. Este o reflectare a vremurilor noastre, în care rețelele sociale dețin supremația, iar personajele online înlocuiesc interacțiunile față în față.

Așa că haideți să îmbrățișăm suprarealismul Corului Virtual Bluescreen-Collar, lăsându-ne vrăjiți de farmecul său obsedant. Să reflectăm la fundamentele filozofice care guvernează relația noastră cu tehnologia și să ne confruntăm cu întrebările existențiale pe care le ridică. Căci, făcând acest lucru, este posibil să descoperim adevăruri ascunse despre noi înșine și despre lumea în care locuim.
Vă mulțumim că v-ați alăturat în această aventură sonoră care provoacă gândirea.

Tristan Sotomayor – Conjunto Vacio
[pn228]

Tristan Sotomayor

“Conjunto Vacio”

A journey into emptiness, into the unknown of a knowledge that, because it is known, is forgotten. When the learned becomes commonplace, it disappears, and a new language is constructed to hold ideas. In Tristán Sotomayor‘s “Conjunto Vacío” (“Empty Set”), the primary focus is the body, the way it encounters experience and listening; what is forgotten becomes instinct, ways of inhabiting and traversing the world and its landscapes.

Elements, stories, signs, traces, and references unfold amid pristine, dark, and evocative spaces that challenge and reveal, paraphrasing the musician, artist, and writer David Toop, in sequences where the solid, fixed, stable, and concrete dissolve into the depths of the singular, different, deterritorialized, and immersive.

We witness the construction of a story made up of 7 fragments in which intensities coexist with expansive or contained spaces, traversing moments filled with absorbed information in chiaroscuros that subtly show and hide the place where the sounds originate and coexist.

An invitation to listen to the abstract nature of space, its designs, and structures; the ideas through which one can “float freely in a liquid space of nonlinear time”, as Toop also wrote. It presents an ethereal world translated through aromas, silences, and noises that give meaning in circumstances that constantly change. “Conjunto Vacío” is the sound and image of a story that possesses its own language to narrate the world, its course, and intensity.

Lluvia Acida – Puntarenazo

Lluvia Acida – Puntarenazo
[pncd13]

Lluvia Acida

“Puntarenazo”

The Puntarenazo and the strike of a beast.

We are facing a documentary work capable of communicating an open wound, the slash of a predatory beast that slipped through the cracks of our history. The musical group Lluvia Ácida has offered an account of testimonies and images that document, “El Puntarenazo”, the first demonstration against dictator Augusto Pinochet in his presence, which took place on February 26, 1984, in the main square of the city of Punta Arenas. There, the tyrant in his uniform from uncertain battles and his gray cape encountered the reaction of a people who, behind the bars of the cathedral, accused him of his crimes, baseness, and felonies. All of this led to a series of episodes linked to the political expression of the regime, culminating in the tragic events of October 6 of that same year: the installation of a bomb that destroyed the parish of “Nuestra Señora de Fátima (Our Lady of Fatima)” and which also ended the life of the army lieutenant who placed the explosive.

The music and the progression of the documentary provide the viewer with a significant universe, an eloquence to appreciate, on the one hand, a mark of pain. And in another sense, the beautiful symphony of civic organization. I am aware that as a musical group and also as audiovisual artists, Lluvia Ácida have a long history of developing themes related to the social struggles of our southern community.

“Puntarenazo” is a work where the voices of the past coexist to convey a new pact with history. It goes without saying that many times there is a tendency to emphasize the Coup and the dictatorship as something that mainly happened in Santiago, the political and administrative capital of our country. But there was also Dawson, Tejas Verdes, Isla Quiriquina, Pisagua, and, in the same way, citizens from different areas of the territory protested against tyranny. In this case, the southernmost continental city in the world was the stage for that gesture of rebellion, forged in different town hall meetings held in the heart of the community.

Where do the silenced words and the pains that never healed persist? It is a truth and a certainty that art is often there to interrogate that trauma, to dive into the depths and bring back the lessons of history, sometimes even exposing the matrix of an era. Therefore, Lluvia Ácida has created a unique, impeccable document that unearths a time when horror and infamy were the daily currency. Amid the amnesiac choruses that some propose in our present, they have addressed the need for memory and the epic of a distant community that rose up against the dictates of a hooded and cruel general who betrayed the most elementary principles of a republic.

Lifecutter – Hollow

Lifecutter – Hollow
[KAM069]

Lifecutter

“Hollow”

Lifecutter’s music is a true love affair with saturated frequencies, glitchy anomalies and distorted patinas, exploring the extremes of aggressive electronic music. However, it doesn’t have much in common with mindless fist-bumping, trendy TikTok hard techno dancing and bland distorted techno for big room raves. Although his music is rough and somewhat violent, it still radiates an aura of inexplicable mysticism. He borrows from the post-Einstürzende Neubauten industrial era and the groundbreaking techno sounds of the 90s and wraps them in a high-tech, digitally-enhanced format to underscore the dystopian, post-AI reality we live in.

”Hollow”, his fifth album for the Ljubljana-based label Kamizdat, is a logical continuation of the aesthetic he presented on his last full length album ”Sub Persona”. The new album contains nine powerful cuts that maintain his fascination with the dark and sludgy elements of British industrial techno strains and their connections to EBM, rhythmic noise, no wave and other “dark hued” genres. Melodies are sprinkled throughout the album, but they always verge on “melodic noise” rather than fully-blown melodicism in the… mehr

“Forgotten Frozen Flamingo”

The Necrophile Humingbird Netlabel presents Forgotten Frozen Flamingo by PIRATE Tapes X REfugEEs From Beyond.

“Apocalyptic Post-Rock for Psychedelic Dreamers”

Split album between PIRATE Tapes & REfugEEs From Beyond live improvisation recorded the 3th December 2023 at the Cave Haven in Foucherans.
Members :
Master of Ceremony : Psyché Pelik
Guitar Hero : Studio112
Disc Jockey : Yoshiwaku Mushotoku

There is a rusted flamingo in our garden, I found it in the street years ago… One of his wings is broken, and sometimes he lost his head.

You may notice that we have the same members in this both projects these days. Stu’ told me a few days ago, again, that for him there are no real differences between my projects, and he’s right, at least since there are nearly no more of my sampling projects active, most turning analogic like the last Wild Worm Web.
Each time it’s something different but coming from the same universe. This reminds me a lot the ST Noiz adage of buddies ardleg & KHAOMAN.
Stu’ told too, that for most musicians the way to produce our sound (recording live with a zoom and several speakers to give a chance for random chaos to make the better choice for us) is a heresy and that’s right, maybe a new form of beauty by Virgin Prunes crawled too much under my skin. To decipher this record it’s necessary to understand that in french there is a big misunderstanding about Pink Floyd. I don’t know why, but a lot of people think that mean pink flamingo. When anglophone knows that the pink “floyd” sound came from the blues.
Maybe as big as thinking that necrophile mean something usual when it’s mostly about to spread life in the ears of the dead. Also, perhaps because I enjoyed the “acoustic” approach that buddy Pete explored this year in the Hope Jasnoch Redundant Realities.
Before to play I suggested for guideline the rust. Sometime guidelines do not rebirth in the music but this time, for me, it sounds really a kind of rusty psychedelic postrock.
And while writing I thought about the Necrophile Hummingbird looking like this rusty flamingo in our garden, something surviving from the past, and the more I understand what happens, next year, I think it will be a frozen one for the netlabel. But there is already more to listen in our nest that the time of listen that have most of the people.
So good time to travel in time. To do again and again the same loop.
Or to free your mind.

Special thanks to Philip K. Dick who spelled us the name of the beast.

Dedicated to all whose will not loose their soul with artificial intelligence.
Or…
Dedicated to those who will mutate to be able to survive in a world that sick ?

Rust reminds me of the tendency to abuse editing software to change the saturation of all images to make them prettier standardized, instead to set them in an accurate way. AI should be advised to read books on the art of using makeup subtly or to dig the real beauty. And the public should not forget that the prettiest flowers in appearance are often the most toxic.

Corazón – Corazón – Brazilian Edits (TTRaízes Vol. 1)

Corazón

“Corazón – Brazilian Edits (TTRaízes Vol. 1)”

Please welcome the first edition of TTRaízes, our brand new series focusing on edits of Brazilian traditional music. For the grand opening, we invited our dear friend Pablo Arruda aka Corazón, bringing us 10 of his best original edits.

The idea behind the Corazón project is directly linked to the production of the edits in this release. In the attempt to find a different soundscape from the scene in which he was inserted at the time, the artist reached for Brazilian music in a way to form a unique setlist, bringing an original identity to the project.

Therefore, classical and significant music from Brazilian history were carefully selected and went through an experimental process, by studio or by live edits on stage, the songs started to be reconstructed under Pablo’s unique vision.

Originally from Francisco Beltrão in Paraná, Brazil, Pablo is a musician, DJ, and music producer. Now based in Curitiba, he was a drummer for Audac, releasing an album produced by Gordon Raphael, known for his work on The Strokes’ albums “Is This It” and “Room On Fire”. He has performed at festivals such as Popload Gig in São Paulo, Meca Festival in Porto Alegre, and FARM/Picolé at Circo Voador in Rio de Janeiro. He began presenting DJ sets at James Bar, where he was a resident for four years. As a member of GATOPARDØ, he performed at Adhana Festival editions and has five releases under the record label.

Currently, he produces events with Portal Kirin, with Kirin Sets being the main project he’s involved in.

This series will remain a hidden gem in our Bandcamp for obvious reasons. We will invite different artists with edits from different regions of the country, and each edition will come with exclusive and limited cassette tapes.
