Subterranean soundscapes for Autumn’s turns, shifting perspectives, and uneasy realizations.
Harmonic drones, partial melodies, and skittering rhythms combine as nostalgic, melancholic electronic music.

It could be dedicated to those who prefer each time they can to play their music alive together instead of being stuck behind a screen. I mean it’s like for children, it should be obvious to do not control them and to let them free to find their own ways because it’s one of the better ways to help them love life. To be clear if you have children let them come play music with you if they want, this world is so much under control, that it’s vital to help them feel how it’s good to feel free. After all the most important things in education next to love is to let them follow their dreams free. So :
Dedicated to the children who are not afraid by the dark fairy tales ?

The Necrophile Hummingbird netlabel presents Master Musick Mixtape by Wild Worm Web.
“Industrial Hiphop for Underground Music Lovers”
Musick Master Mixtape or Master Musick Mixtape it’s up to you to choose your favorite joke.
Wild Worm Web was first a DJ / sampling project. Next it joined Vivid Tribe Of Psychic. Now it’s a live project with a close vibe but with real instruments and far more love for the Lo-Fi tunes.
The first record which was already half a compilation and the two first EP Born To Be Cannon Fodder & WURMS is still available in free download. This record is the second part of the anthology it includes a compilation of tracks available on various artists compilations. And the two next EP City Of God & PUKE over the world. The last tracks are a remix and its introduction done to illustrate Dr Thomas Stanley Afro Futurism Ode & Jamal Moore Sax. And the very last Akashic Records comes from a record design to help my french ebooks collection to be spread.
Special Guest Aleister Crowley with his Rhapsody : The City Of God.
Dedicated to all the alternative free medias which debunk the capitalist world propaganda.
“I stood gazing into the night. I knew that we were being stalked by ships of the Imperial Japanese Fleet. We had been trying to hunt them down all day. Enemy planes were flying over our heads, and the islands around us were full of their soldiers. Next to me, on the small bridge, was Lieutenant Kennedy. A boy of twenty-six who looked several years younger. Suddenly, a flash of lightning illuminated the night. It was a Japanese destroyer bearing down on us. Sound the alarm! Kennedy shouted to me. I ran two steps and sounded the alarm… but the destroyer slammed into our ship, splitting it in two. Kennedy fell backwards and I fell with him…. (T. Sartoris, RUMBOS Magazine, 1961).”
The above story, starring radio operator John Maguire and Lieutenant Kennedy, during the attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941 by the Imperial Japanese Navy, presents us with dangers and risks on the high seas caused by the hand of man of war, who does not consider the sea, which can be even more accurate, objective and harmful, without being at war with man. The four tracks of the album La Odisea de Poseidón, are a musical account of some of the most inhospitable places where the sea shows its claw to the ships and their crews. I personally know the Golfo de Penas and the Drake Sea, I have crossed them on more than one occasion. Sometimes it seemed that the sea hated us, or that we were fighting a battle with it, or simply playing. GOZNE’s music could transport me to those moments with every sound and atmosphere. Here is the grinding of the iron bars, wind and sea leading the baton. Poseidon, Greek deity of the seas, seems to sing the lowest tones of the orchestration and his retinue does his thing to put the most technologically gifted vessel and the most experienced crew in trouble. An odyssey indeed, and nothing less than the Odyssey of Poseidon.

The Necrophile Hummingbird presents … by ardleg
“Standby Music for Post Millenarians”
Will this collection of miniatures end up as telephone ringtones or data to feed Artificial inteIligences ?
This new record, prophetic in more than one way, seems to announce the end of transmissions. The particularity of a musical continuum is that through the force of repetition we imagine that it will always be there. But the best things must come to an end. Or rather the ending makes them better. Is the end always the beginning? Is this just a break? Who knows if there will be one after 2023 for this netlabel ? In theory yes, but… what characterizes the Necrophile Hummingbird is that it is a singularity, which should never have existed and which from the first moment threatened to disappear. And this every day for years.
With synthesizers and samplers, next with computer-assisted music, technology has had a Promethean role in liberating music from the old narrow shackles that Edgar Varese already denounced. Today in music and video the disruption of AI has almost the opposite effect for the moment, because what was offered to everyone thanks to freeware, is now only accessible in the form of a paid subscription. Which is paradoxical to say the least given that these companies do not have to pay to draw on the internet the works necessary for deep learning. And given the resources that the operation of an AI requires, there is little chance that free solutions will appear before the diffusion of quantum computers. In an increasingly unequal world, whoever lives will see, whoever hacks will survive.

3 free WAV tracks of deep minimal techno for monoKraK net label (http://www.monokrak.net)
mastering by Pheek
Julian’s slow and cinematic debut EP eases the senses while taking you back to a time when things were easier and the world was a cozy and loving place.
The EP contains a lot of laid back tunes with minimal drumming, accompanied by a wide range of enviromental foley sounds, which even further give the impression of travelling through the memories of things that once were.
Alltogether a great EP for either listening or for use under video productions.
Julian Winter’s latest 5 track EP “Home” is a combination of autobiographical tracks, describing his short journey through Europe in the fall of 2018. Each city is portrayed by a flavor of its ambient sounds combined with Julian’s musical interpretation of the untangleable combination of a city’s impression and his own mind state at the given time.
Each track manages to translate a strong emotional impression, ranging from nostalgic up to a dramatic sense of being overcome by one’s own existence. This wild diversity of feelings enables “Home” to grab your attention, and pull you into the composer’s brain in order to get a clear view from his perspective, to take you along on his journey.
On a musical level, the depiction is realized by laid back guitar melodies and piano parts, which are accompanied by Julians trademark rhythmic variations using real percussion instruments. His use of post production and editing manages to give “Home” an extremely organic and up to date feel, thus making it qualify as a worthy successor to all of his previous work.
All tracks written, performed and produced by Julian Winter, except for “Paris”, which was written by a female member of Anonymous.

The Necrophile Humingbird Netlabel present NIHILLBIENT by REfugEEs From Beyond.
“Post Illbient Music for Dark Ambient Lovers”
Improvisation session recorded the 29th january 2023 at the Cave Haven in Foucherans.
Members :
Master of Ceremony : Psyché Pelik
Disc Jockey : Yoshiwaku Mushotoku
Tracks titles are loosely based on the films of David Lynch & Gaspar Noé.
I can imagine what a lazy Artificial Intelligence or a crazy netlabel runner would say to explain how this album really brought the language of dreams or nightmares to the ears like if these both directors did it :
Every listener is going to get a different thing. That’s the thing about music. Illbient is like a car, a vehicle that allows you to go within. It’s a mental technique. You don’t need a special place to meditate. You can transcend anywhere in the world. The unified field is here, and there, and everywhere. We will not develop the transcendental way the nihilist spirit can upleavel oneself to certain zen spirit. Of course it won’t make disappear the civilians bodies massacred by bombs, but sometime like these days the world is so dark that you need this kind of dark meditation to heal your soul… The current from beyond dictate everything, you have to be true to that or you’re dead.
Life is a short game. If you want to be bisexual, pansexual, do it. Every single life is about construction and destruction. We are happy persons. When happy persons make dark music, it becomes funny. The truth is that… if you put any idea out there that’s kind of flashy, you have many, many people that are going to be copying it. This happens whether you do movies, paintings or music. Death is not evil. Death can be good news. It all depends. Some people come to this world and live in hell so birth is not always positive. Death can sometimes be positive.
Dedicated to those forced to commit unassisted suicides.

Euphoria echoes of unpredictory sensory inputs.
Euphoria echoes of self-justifying circulation of intensities.
Euphoria echoes of the girl that won’t return your love but is totally worth it.
Euphoria echoes of the desert called our culture.
Euphoria echoes of sleeping cat shadow,
of meaning making machines,
of the cognitive dissidents,
of feast that eats itself.
Euphoria echoes of tikkun olam.
Euphoria echoes of veiling their vices in virtuous words.
Euphoria echoes of male desire for salvation through gadgets.
Euphoria echoes of her who was here long before the apes started dreaming of gods.
Euphoria echoes of inotai, adonai, you and i….
Este es un disco que debe ser explorado en detalle, una experiencia auditiva que encapsula la esencia de la experimentación y la evolución constante que define el Techno en su forma más pura. No te pierdas esta joya sonora que emana de las profundidades de la vanguardia electrónica.

The Necrophile Hummingbirds Netlabel presents A SEED IN TIME by Spore Designers.
Composition : HOMO | Recomposition : OresteS
“Timeless Psychoactive Music for Ambient Music Lovers”
In early August 2023, I was having a hard time navigating the Threshold Of Boredom (cf. Sleazy Peter Christopherson). Most of my contacts were on holidays and I was feeling lonelier than ever.
Having too much (?) time on my hands and having just been acquainted with Bull Of Heaven (check them!), I decided to tackle my pathological impatience and gardening disability by creating a sound piece lasting as long as possible (within my possibilities); it ended up as SEED IN PROGRESS, 20 hours long.
I invested, digested and regurgitated a good deal of my released and unreleased music into it, acquiring a small crumb of patience by every sound effect taking, literally, 40 hours to complete, during which I had to go on with the “rest of my life” and wait.
When I made SEED IN PROGRESS available, Orestes kindly offered to rework it into something else, with numerological wisdom, condensing the original 20 hours into 3 hours, 33 minutes, 33 seconds.
Here we are. Here it is. Here we is.
(The original 20-hours SEED IN PROGRESS is freely available from musicforunion@gmail.com. It is very different from this, with much more silence and much less activity, for which i am so grateful to Orestes. All Hail The Necrophile Hummingbirds In Our Souls.)
So these words by HOMO tell all about it, I just answered to the amazing sound piece HOMO did (be sure to check it!), I could add that the essence of creation is that chat through time and space between dreamers, like a being split in so many parts trying to understand what happens. But is it really necessary not to keep silent this, when You can dream of the future ?

Do you remember myspace???
Once upon a time, a long, long time ago, there was a wonderful place called the cyberspace that was like an Eldorado for artists, except you didn’t have to kill its inhabitants to steal their property and land. .
In reality it was more about sharing resources freely, but I won’t tell you the full story of the Internet. Just know that there was a certain idea of a free world that emerged, it was a bit like a second chance for humanity to do not reproduce in virtual reality the errors of the real world. Unfortunately, we can date the death of this utopia with the arrival of Facebook and the massive invasion of settlers that followed. Myspace was therefore a sort of social network for artists and art lovers, to share, discover and collaborate, the ancestor of Soundcloud, and Bandcamp… At one point a horrible mobster called Rupert Murdoch decided to buy it. The artists were surprised to say the least, because as soon as he arrived he decided to show how powerful he was, for him since he owned it, he could do what he wanted with his new toy. He changed everything and removed, among other things, free downloading and triggered a real exodus. Myspace was dead, the website may have continued for a few years as a ghost ship, but nothing more. Today, in theory we should be talking about cicadas, but it doesn’t matter, it’s as if the colony of musical ants had gone crazy. After a first sale to Epic Games with the basic promise of respecting the spirit of Bandcamp, (promises only work for those who believe in them) Bandcamp is sold again, but this time no more promises and the buyer wants to fire the team that has been working for Bandcamp for years. What will the new buyer do with his toy? For him, is Bandcamp anything other than a brand with a huge customer base?
I could also talk about Free Music Archives, it was another very cool place for Creative Commons enthusiasts before it was sold.
Will the community of artists who broadcast their music on Bandcamp wait patiently for the next episode?
Or, following the example of Wire magazine, as many of us use Bandcamp,
Wouldn’t it be really cool to make it a sort of cooperative? Each artist contributing a little money to buy Bandcamp and then it could become a common resource for musicians and music lovers across the planet?
It would be a nice resurrection for the free world utopia ?
Well, I say that… but you will no doubt have noticed the explicit title of this album : No Sales Allowed. We don’t sell our music, both because we don’t want it becomes a merchandise and because we want to show what could be the world if everyone share its best. And for us this resource, this alternative to Bandcamp already exists, it’s called Internet Archive.
Dedicated to those who fight against colonization by commercial society by sharing their creations freely.
