Lenard Ahmad – Nagual
[pn055]
Lenard Ahmad
“Nagual”
So let’s talk about Ignacio Morales. About Leonardo Ahumada. About Nawito Dúo, which isn’t a dúo after all. About the baldy one in El Banco Mundial. About the baldest baldy in Ensamble Majamama. About the only man in Guorl Miusic.
Let’s talk about feedback. But not about electroacoustic feedback – extensively exerted by Nawito – but the one that presents a way of thinking (about) the music one makes when listening to it. That one where the cause is indistinguishable from the effect, where the effect is not necessarily predicated in the cause, where materials precede the shape that forms the materials.
Let’s listen to a jungle music – it’s impossible to avoid metaphores by now – born from José Vicente Asuar Guararia Repanoo; but it is not representing jungle, but coming from there. Infinite organisms in friction, superimposing each other in harmony. At the moment of listening, finding out what was acoustic, electroacoustic or digital is rendered useless in the first place, the jungle factory turns original, filtered or simulated indistinguishable, but the painstaking work which erected it sounds in its complexity, it is the making sounding.
Real hard work: let’s talk about fingers, nails, tact, epidermis of Nawito’s fingertips. That is – in David Tudor’ words – the most sensitive control point in a machine.
Apparati and their connections, colombina’s strings tension, diagrams, patches, springs and iron pieces, are temporary line-ups, nodes, pretexts, software; the operator that sets up and makes the machine, the real jungle territory. There are coagulations, geological faces, pressure points, complex detail zones, energies in the point of transformation, not choosing this or that way: a cave with countless leakage and drain pipes, thick, resounding tones – the wind blows outside the cave – feedback screeches, rumors from a beehive’s working mode, mechanisms rattling, the jingling of exotic birds which cannot be seen covered by the leaves, metal on metal (yes, in every sense of the word); white noise’s faceted roaring, the Mekano girls worn-out sticker; Providencia’s buzzing, hissing in unknown time; an unexpected ringtone; and the most remarkable, particular characterístic in music: a multiplicity of realms and activities, what was called polyphony in the good old days. The mystified concreteness of the on-screen software, where modules are connected, expanding and contracting, and the material proof of the tamed sound idea: a trompe and an mbira.
After almost a decade devoted to electroacous-tic music, Nawito, Leonardo, the ‘noise he-baby’, whoever he would be there inside him, makes news of headway in “Nagual”, not in a militant avant-garde fashion sense – please, let’s keep avant-garde requiescat in pace – but of a curious passerby carelessly strolling thru the park.

Failure Circle – Frozen Clinamen #6
[Eg0_255]
Failure Circle
“Frozen Clinamen #6”
Frozen Clinamen is serie of works by Failure Circle (a solo project of Kecap Tuyul) started on autumn 2017. It follows a simple method inspired by the the possibilities of his no-input mixer set-up (and sometimes other modular set-ups) and the will to use a limited sound material in a posteriori compositions : all the sounds included in these works are recordings of moments that feature no human intervention. Frozen Clinamen #6 was recorded and mixed between March 2019 and June 2022 using no-input mixer and analog synthesizer.
Artwork by Jules-Valentin Boucher
Methodology
step (1) Tweaking the set-up until it produces some seemingly autonomously self-sustained sound sequences.
step (2) Stopping tweaking, then recording for at least 20 minutes without any intervention on the set-up.
step (3) Repeating steps (1) & (2) several times.
step (4) Using the generated sounds as only source in a posteriori compositions. The only variations used while mixing are equalization, panoramics and volume levels.
step (5) play it at low/high volume with open/closed window while complety asleep / fully conscious.

ANTEPOP & PIRATE Tapes – Acéphale
[LCNLP153]
ANTEPOP & PIRATE Tapes
“Acéphale”
ACEPHALE by ANTEPOP & PIRATE Tapes is an album created for Le Camembert Electrique netlabel camembertelectrique.bandcamp.com/ based on the self-titled french poetry review and hosting few other poems by Georges Bataille, available in free download here archive.org/details/ANTEPOP_PIRATE_Tapes_Acephale
For Flac and Wav formats it’s in paywhatyouwant zero include here camembertelectrique.bandcamp.com/album/ac-phale
The Acephalus includes the minotaur, Dionysus, Oedipus. He is an incarnation of the Nietzschean Superman. “He is not a man, he is not a god either, he is not me but he is more me than me”.
Acephalus recognized the intimate link between eroticism and death and he was able, thanks to that, to kill the father, to kill god, he cut off his head to have access to a higher lucidity and to obtain a belief.
This quote from ANTEPOP could suffice as a unique presentation of this album, yet I would detail a little its creation and its underlyings.
Was it chance that put Georges Bataille back in my path?
Years ago, I interpreted the Solar Anus https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m0oPNLBK9-U charmed by its transgressive dimension, without however pursuing the exploration of his work further. Then during the 2016 edition of Back To The Tree event I discovered the existence of Acéphale thanks to a conference by Laurent Devèze https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G4AosZvpo4E more enthused under the trappings of this strange cult is the back-to-nature dimension relatively similar to Henry David Thoreau’s Walden. Poetry is a sensitive tool for connecting to the universe and in the era of screen partitioning this reminder seems relevant to me. Also since the creation of the french website for the review “Le Grand Jeu” morne.free.fr/celluledessites/Game/index.htm it’s been my hobby to exhume the poetic journals that have emerged in over time in France. So after the review “Discontinuity” archive.org/details/pirate_tapes_discontinuite it made sense that PIRATE Tapes presents some excerpts from the review “Acéphale” accompanied by other poems by Georges Bataille. Also we are very happy that the lyrics are in french language, because despite the audience for musical experiments is very small here, it matters a lot to be able to use our native language in our music. If you want to get the english translations seems it’s findable online.
Originally, because of many affinities, I wanted to make an album in collaboration with ANTEPOP for Le Camembert Electrique. Hence the titles taking up the process of making the cancoillotte, just to not take ourselves too seriously and thus enjoy greater creative freedom. A first piece was extracted from this improvisation session and was completed by a field recording in order to participate in the Phonographies compilation camembertelectrique.bandcamp.com/album/v-a-3 This process therefore imposed itself as obvious for the development of the other tracks on the album. It is also the only track that has not been supplemented by poems. Curiously at the beginning we had recorded poems by Apollinaire, it was only later that the paths of intuition led us to prefer those of Georges Bataille. The verses of the unpublished Acéphale questioned me a lot, to the point that I hesitate to include it, but I preferred not to censor it and leave everyone free to make their own interpretation. It may be interesting to keep in tune with the present time, bringing hope and serenity, when its qualities are sorely lacking in the world in which we live. But it would be to misunderstand the mere revealing nature of art to seek to polarize it. It seems to me vital to preserve the roughness, the wanderings of thought, all that for me makes sense in the writings of Bataille is precisely to confront the monstrosities to question our dark side and perceive our deep non-dual nature. For me in everyone is the universe, all the good as all the bad, it is our choices that guide us, our actions that define us. Hence, the importance of the presence of monsters in fiction, like in the subconscious, not only allows them to be contained, but is also a space that allows them to be studied without real risk, like a virtual box machine that allows you to test a potentially dangerous executable. It is not by sanitizing the past, by practicing censorship, by concealing the traces of obscurantism that one can protect oneself from it*. On the contrary, it is by allowing us to experience confronting ourselves with what bothers us and therefore to train ourselves knowingly, that we can develop a critical mind that makes possible a future that does not reproduce the past mistakes.
As for the Acéphale, if my heteronym Ed End has the same meaning, it is not for nothing and that explains why it was difficult for me not to interfere more than I would have liked in the ANTEPOP part of this album. So which is actually more a kind of antepop ante-pirate tapes participation. Isn’t a part of the reason one loses one’s head to try to know the others better?
* Just to be clear, I specify that as much as I find it dangerous to rewrite past fiction as much as I find it necessary to intervene in the public space because in this case it is a question of putting an end to the glorification of monsters. Although my creative vision would be rather than destroying a statue of Colbert to put in front of it a statue of a slave who breaks his chains.

“Cr14tur4s”
The four compositions included in «Cr14tur4s» are songs composed since 2015. The author explores electronic percussive sonorities -from rhythm machines to soundfonts and samples- mixed with mid and high frequency synthesized with a propensity to stridency, adding recursive low-frequency loops, modulated in tune with the generated massive sound.
The Cr14tur4s proposed are forms going from the microscopic to the visible, mutated in imaginaries created under the intense influence of the accelerated, histeric times we are crossing as specie(s).

QK
“For My Cat”
Monofónicos Netlabel está feliz de presentar el nuevo lanzamiento de Sergio Escobar (Qk) con un disco de melodías exquisitas, muy variado y melódico llamado ‘For My Cat’.
Qk nos presenta una dosis exclusiva de ritmos y texturas de música inspirada en su michi, cuyo sonido se conecta directamente del viejo sonido de baile del House y unas líneas melódicas que, entre cálidos juegos vocales de corte retro, parecen avanzar in crescendo dándole así fuerza a todo un disco de tres maravillosas canciones.
‘For My Cat’ es un disco finamente bien producido, en la que la conjunción entre percusiones, melodías y vocales consigue que el oyente evoque indefectiblemente al delicado Deep House de los noventa.
Cada lanzamiento de Qk está siempre bien estudiado para trascender las fronteras de la pista de baile, y no es para menos con este nuevo EP mostrando su más que renovado sonido, un sonido que ha evolucionado hacía un formato mucho más bailable, pero lleno de sabor y calidad, y donde aún tiene muchas más sorpresas que ofrecer.

Talons’ – At Light/Dark
Talons’
“At Light/Dark”
One of the joys of parenting is watching your child learn how to speak. In the process of figuring out which words to use while building a vocabulary, kids come up with creative and poetic ways to verbalize their emotions and describe the world around them. My son started using the word “lightdark” to describe both dusk and dawn and we have adopted it into the family vocabulary over the past few years.
Talons’ at Light/Dark pays tribute to this in-between time. A time between awake and asleep but also a time of uncertainty, transition and change. The music, built out of ebow-ed guitar and synthesizer, is meant to reflect this tension between rest and anxiety, calm and worry, day and night.
Seagulls:
At Light/Dark, I don’t know where I am
Almost 40 and even more lost than I was at 20
And have I ever really said how I feel without overwhelming guilt?
Guilt rules everything
And everyone’s a mess
Broken, broke and hoping for a little bit of luck.
Seagulls circling the dump
But despite what we believe, there is nothing down there for us.

“Abnormal Music for Abnormal People”
Since the very beginning when I coined the “hors-norme” (Outside of the Norm or Apart from Standard) as a style to define the music shared on this netlabel the main purpose was to make room for any musics rejected by the mainstream music. And this was not only a struggle against artistic conformism, but more about the society rejecting any differences by the reign of the Norm. If the society is rule by white old heterosexual you will get racialized people, women, lesbian gay trans queer, people with disabilities and young people, whatever, pushed into the margin.
This is a marginalization process. Same way that when scientists study nature they will not care of the singularity, example if the bonobos are not using patriarchal model they will avoid studying them and focus on other primates to get better proof to sustain their dominant ideology.
The first time we tried to bring the lights on this was in 2004 with the Tribute to Necktar archive.org/details/Tribute_to_Necktar We called this marginalization process “Deviance’s Genocide”. It could seem strong, but this is what it is, people sometime suicide not by choice but because of exclusion making it impossible for them to live. The society, or specifically, those who conform to the norm bullying them to the death, we wanted to say it’s a real genocide.
The normal people or indeed thinking to be normal, pushing the abnormal people to disappear, consciously or not. Same way, the mainstream pushing the underground out of sight.
So now we are in 2022 and there are reactions like Black Lives Matter, Metoo… but often doing like if it was only for certain categories of people, when it’s the rulers of the world against all the others.
When it’s the norm against any differences.
And that’s why I added Epaminondas speech to Spinalonga track, ( archive.org/details/l-ordre-1973-jean-daniel-pollet ) because the inhabitants of this leper colony after knowing what it is to be rejected by the whole society didn’t want to be back to the norm.
That’s what they learned, and I hope it could be an example for any rejected people instead to try to be included choice the sedition, the separatism, and build their own micro society, surely it won’t be perfect, but at human scale there are more chances to avoid exclusion and get more alternatives.
Thus, there are also tracks related to Moebius & Alejandro Jodorowsky Incal for the same reasons. For me in this comic “La Paterne” is more the pattern, alias the norm, and the same way that the energy of the dissident in the snowpiercer is used by the power to regenerate itself, the mainstream music grub everything coming from the underground, removing everything which is subversive inside, keeping only the shapes. Like the industry did for the organic food in the hexagone, when it was first at least half or more about build a local system free of intermediaries than to care about the food being not toxic.
And there is also a track about war, because to be aware that our differences are our salvation, goes to with the idea that no matter who is the other, only few are enough crazy to worship the nations and their rulers. Most are just only not strong enough to create choices when it seems impossible to get some.
Last but not least, the change of internet from a freedom tool to a self slavery tool. People mostly stuck in the social network bubbles except if it’s for buying something. It seems a lot of the remains of free culture may disappear at the same time the new norms are applied to control everything online with help of A.I. when needed. It reminds me imperialism colonization, after taking control of a land they eradicate the previous culture, under the fake excuse of few trolls, they hunt all the witches. For example, few weeks ago the Radio Free Albemut h o r s n o r m radioblog with only legal free download music on Tumblr (nearly 1000 releases) has been suspended without explanations and my main Tumblr Panoramagix too. Few months ago it was the Wild Worm Web YouTube channel erased with no warning despite without new publications for months. Only my personal examples.
Finally it’s only music, but these are the kind of dreams hidden behind that very instrumental album. Stay tuned, and please share your dreams and the other ones.
Dedicated to everyone who will be never define in a single word.

Baradit – Analog Songs
[pn212]
Baradit
“Analog Songs”
“Analog Songs” is an album composed by Felipe Baradit Stevenson, which is distinct in being his first album composed entirely with analog machines. With the creation of the musical instrument store “Midi in Store” directed by Alisú, Felipe began collaborating with synthesizer reviews, which in turn led to his taste for composition with analog hardware and processes. The world of visual and musical art, sexuality, cats, the illusion of a New Constitution that guaranteed multiple rights, the interconnection of analog machines via midi, the possible end of the pandemic, were all influences for the 7 works on this album.
For the graphics, Baradit invited the illustrator Paulina Gutiérrez Paravic to generate an artistic collaboration in Concón, wherein “PaliArt” displays all her talent and interprets the album in an illustration for the cover with her characteristic feminine and oceanic stamp, mixing this with references to the musical themes.
This album incorporates different analog equipment, such as the Argentine GS Music Apollo Mini synthesizer used to make bass lines, and the Korg Volca Keys and Volca Beats used in melodies and rhythms, respectively. The Korg Monologue was also used for basses and leads. Finally, the Korg Electribe EX1 tube sampler was used to reproduce sounds from the classic Roland TR 808 and 909, as well as analog synthesizers sampled from Arturia’s V Collection, such as the Jup 8 V3 or the Jun 6V. All these ingredients ultimately result in a warm, melodic, contemplative sound, yet with character, like a golden sunset by the sea.

“Mourning Music for Deceased People”
The 8th July 2022 Antho is gone in the night. I would like it to be something more magic, like in the OA series : a glide into the multiverse. The only thing I’m sure about is that I miss him so much. And I’m not the only one. The weight of this loss is hard to measure, thru the years it’s one of the very rare friend I had never lost. Without him, perhaps since 1995 I would be stuck in a psychiatric hospital, never coming to the surface behind my chemical straightjacket. I’ve done my first step as bass player at this time, but I had turned the amp nearly to zero because I didn’t know how to play. Many years later I still don’t know, but I can, so we tried in 2014 to play together in another band, disbanded before to release anything. He was not hiding that he was not understanding my experimental sound, mostly outsider music. Despite we were both found of Tuxedomoon, Dead Can Dance, Bauhaus, the Young Gods, Virgin Prunes, Christian Death and of course Killing Joke we were not playing the same kind of music. But we were respectful, like brothers do, to each one’s differences. So perhaps he would not enjoy that much this virtual record, but would understand the intention to say goodbye to him by this way. I asked to Studio 112 who knew him before I do to help me on several tracks. This is our memorial to him.

Finally, I may add I think it’s a blessing to leave such a sick society, death is not for me something to mourn about. At the scale of this world where everyday so many people sink in the sea, die by war or human handmade cataclysms all mostly because of the rich greedy people, it’s only one amongst all the everyday atrocious deaths. But he was a very special friend to me. The only one who’ve been able to write me as birthday gift a portrait poem so accurate that it caught my real spirit.
