bolus

“perceived redness of an evening sky”

Qualia is ‘an unfamiliar term for something that could not be more familiar to us: the way things seem to us’, such as the perceived redness of an evening sky – it cannot be put into words. These compositions are an attempt to describe a space in the artist’s mind, a three dimensional region of emotion and feeling influenced by a fleeting yet intense period of saudade – an indescribable longing for something one never had.

Nortas

“Aukštai”

Aũkštai (“Floors”) is a result of how overthinking leads the mind to multiple directions while searching for answers in the surroundings. These 5 stories reflect on how the mind works in different situations, whether it’s a cup of coffee in the morning by the favourite clock ticking down the time of waiting, taking a dog for a walk with thoughts of self-doubt, or whether it’s stone-tied drowning in the sea of paralysed body cells.

Dreamlike walk through inner depths, as if you were walking on thick ice surrounded by misty void and could wake up any second. The sounds reflect a journey through grief, anxiety, finding peace in solitude.

Wolf Wrams

“Quant Bunker”

Written using virtual machines controlled by haunting Taoist infernal dreams inspired hands. Driven by the awareness of the plaguing fact that the artist has to compete with others by implementing his own ideas, not attached to anything in particular but his mind only. Showing features of artist’s body, heart and soul while he’s being in a state of a magical drive. A theater of mashing abstractions sampled and processed ideas, where complex beats and smashing sounds emerge to evoke energy and will inside the listener’s mind.

Origami Repetika

“Red Zamboni “

=- I sing a lot in this one.. moreso than in any of my previous releases. Most likely personal reflection reasons. I’m about to turn 39 soon and begin my 40th year of life. Red Zamboni was the second track of this family of songs recorded and I like it so much that I made a music video for it and sent it in to VideoRecords.ch. It’s different than the other four songs in that it didn’t receive any vocals, nevertheless, it’s in the same family as it was created the same way (arranging the chord progressions in chordbot on android then dropping them into renoise on pc where I do the recording, tracking, and rendering) as the other four. So instead of making Red Zamboni its own single and the four remaining songs an ep, I just decided to make it one ep altogether.

“The Cat Has Cometh!”

This album is about beat impressionism, when the beat does not make the rhythm, but the mood instead. Breakcore and IDM inspired mess of beats and breaks and plastic.

When I was a child I used to gather all the wooden, metal and plastic boxes to make my “drum set”. I played my drums with spoons and sang aloud: “The cat has cometh!”. My passion for rhythmic music never faded, so, after growing up I still gathered all wooden, metal and plastic samples to make my virtual drum set.

I like when the beat is not merely a metronome, even my favourite rock bands have drummer leaders – “Magma” with Christian Vander and “高円寺百景” with Tatsuya Yoshida. I like when the beat is flow, when it creates melody, when it gives tempo not only by beating the drum faster or slower but by creating the feeling of speed or chill. I do not intend to create a total abstract avant-garde mess, which ceases to sound musical, instead, I want to create the impressionist-like approach, when complex structures give rise to clear and almost tangible impressions.

This “beat impressionism” might sound a bit harsh to an untrained ear, because that is how massive plastic sounds like. Just like metal music is basically harsh rock, so my plastic music is harsh IDM.

Most of the tracks were created 15 years ago. Maybe they were ahead of time? Or maybe they sound like your childhood? Because they definitely sound like my childhood.

As usual, every track has its own artwork.

The cat has cometh!

Number Eleven – Event

Number Eleven – Event
[EEM039]

Number Eleven

“Event”

Complex rhythmic combinations, constantly getting faster to the point of losing the structure and becoming a vast halo of drum-like noise tearing the last orchestral sounds, that couldn’t get ready for an end of a process that didn’t even start, and hopeless melodies that aren’t sure if they are supposed to exist.

Having difficulties to cope with worsening states of disorders, Event leaps to search for an answer by removing the definitions completely and allowing to make connections again, to feel attached to things that were once familiar and welcoming. Knowing that this way of searching for the source of the disorders will lead to a failure, by not being able to relate to those things, renders them strange, wiping all of them away. But one of those gets stuck, resisting to go away and holding everything together. The Event leads itself to disengage from everything that could be described with a definition.

V.A. – Fungi Compilation

V.A. – Fungi Compilation
[NrM082]

V.A.

“Fungi Compilation”

Unlike plants, mushrooms cannot synthesize their own food from the sun’s energy. They lack chlorophyll – the substance which permits plants to use sunlight to form sugars from the water and carbon dioxide in the air. Mushrooms therefore had to develop special methods of living: symbiosis, saprophytism and parasitism.

Most of the mushrooms growing on the forest floor are intimately linked to trees by symbiosis. This association, called mycorrhiza, occurs between the root ends of a tree and the vegetative system of a mushroom. Mycorrhiza benefits both organisms: there is an exchange of nutrients, one providing to other what it cannot synthesize or extract from the soil by itself. In general, the mushroom helps the tree extract minerals and water from the soil; in exchange, the tree supplies the mushroom with sugar compounds (carbohydrates).

Saprophytism is another important living method for mushrooms, especially for species which grow on lawns, on rotting wood or on excrement. Here the mushroom’s role is one of decomposition. It feeds itself by digesting the organic matter and at the same time returns nutrients to the soil.

Finally, some mushrooms are parasites. There are several kinds of parasitism, ranging from the species which attacks a healthy host (tree, plant or insect) and lives on it without killing it, to the kind which attacks only unhealthy hosts, thereby hastening their death. The parasitic species are generally microscopic mushrooms.

Javier Moraga – Rasgos Particulares

Javier Moraga – Rasgos Particulares
[m029]

Javier Moraga

“Rasgos Particulares”

“Rasgos Particulares” is Javier Moraga’s debut release in Modismos catalogue. Its electronic influence can be traced back many years, through diverse publications inside specialized netlabels like EPA Sonidos and Pueblo Nuevo. He is part of the group Mr & Oso, while also working at Radio Valentin Letelier, the University of Valparaiso’s radio station. He produces the program “Sala de Maquinas,” as well as producing direct presentations and selects synthetic sounds for the station through it’s network, among other things. “Rasgos Particulares,” present delivery could be a sample about Moraga’s interests with contemporary electronic, where certain tone quality is acidic and minimal, as small condiments, they go extending upon alternating atmospheric layers, sustained on defragmented pulses, but traces of the music continue. These particular traits are expressed in the track “Tierno Salvaje” dedicated to the memory of Kurt, a figure that insufflated the spirit of the underground scene of Viña Del Mar and Valparaíso in the nineties, which opens the 52 minutes of music. The other tracks of the album spin perfectly, traveling through titles such as “Miaucheck,” “Arena Lunar (a lo salvaje)”, “Dame Cinco”, at certain moments there is something dark, with minor scales in the tones, a cinematic fiction of the digital reality that we consume daily, but allows us to unwind, yet expresses a world where the organic, virgin and primitive can coexist, as expressed in “Cayehuque (localidad)”. But the continuous progression in “Simulación Colectiva,” runs as a transit towards the final melody of “Rasgos Particulares,” from which a flash of faint light seems to emanate; it comes to a definitive closing with “Resolana.” Which offers a halo of light, in where the final harmony, reiterative and kaleidoscopic, solve all anguish, torment and conflict preceding, balancing the darkness.

KiB

“Fixatif.v.”

The sky lets the darkening and rising time to be. Space is conquered by the higher element. Silence… She’s sitting here a couple of hours already. She observes her surroundings with a paraminic look, she waits until she sees again, until she feels again what she saw yesterday. That time northeast wind loudly running by asked her to look at trees standing naturally regularly. They looked calm and stiff, but when the wind passed their leaves whitely, the leaves breathed freely and started whispering silently, moving synchronously with stars.

“Entropy”

Wolf Wrams constantly explores human psyche, the emotion that arises from it and influences it making further steps towards heights and after that falling down into the abyss. Birth, life and death, and then another birth are the results of it. That is expected from Entropy, perhaps all Wolf’s songs are entropic.

bolus

“confirm humanity”

This EP marks a departure from the “usual” bolus sound of cavernous soundscapes and atmospheres to a more rhythmic structure, incorporating elements of the former. This style harks back to the previously released “beacon” EP – electronic percussion and granular synthesis – this direction was in the artist’s mind for a while. Playing with virtual modular synthesis of late (Solorack by Solostuff, VCV rack) and these patches have formed the backbone upon which the tracks of “confirm humanity” were created.

The topic of this EP is the state of being, the shifts in thinking and the question of identity, when the country you were born in does no longer exist on the political map of the world. Thoughts on this topic were gathered from various Lithuanian artists in order to compose this EP, which was initially a performance for a group exhibition “I Was Born in a Country That No Longer Exists” presented in 2017, in Duisburg, Germany.

René Roco – DIT

René Roco – DIT
[M027]

René Roco

“DIT”

In days where freedom around formats in which music is delivered seems to be reaching absolut liberty, Modismo gives us a brief yet overwhelming release by René Roco. With less than 18 minutes in length, we find sounds that manage to immerse us completely in a work of perfect balances. Captivating in its more danceable and pop side, this EP finds a point of equilibrium between melody and beat in ‘DIT’, the shortest of its tracks. In an interesting contrast, ‘TOC’ extends from a more enigmatic side. Curious sounds give the idea of a search that breaks the mold without neglecting the good pulse. Warm Pads are confronted to high frequencies that activate and stimulate our receptors to switch them on and prepare them for a short flight yet rotund. Martial percussive games and ludic keys provide a counterpoint that prepares us for a sudden fall, hanging on notes that fade to silence. In view of this, René Roco offers us a production that invites to start it all over again.

“Conservation of Angular Momentum”

“Conservation Of Angular Momentum” is a touching album full of cinematic ambient sounds. The main attention is paid to the extensive, sublime atmospheres. Convulsing melodies and sound effects in the background do not let the listener fall into a monotonic mood, on the contrary, it evokes a spacious palette of listener’s musical senses.

“Sinwave”

Getting lost and trying to find serenity. Unable to stay calm even for a moment and the unquenched thirst to create new problems. An ear-splitting explosion and a sinful wave of aggression. The solitude and the awakening of the Beast.

“Sinwave”, the second album of Sinage, a neurotic and chaotic trip to the depths of the emotion and feeling. It’s a refined and melodic album filled with dance beats packed inside a unique sound aesthetic that clashes chiptune synths and rave sounds.

Seek Six Sick – Anti-Macho Rockstar (Sunmantra Remix)
[yesno088]

Seek Six Sick

“Anti-Macho Rockstar (Sunmantra Remix)”

Single ini adalah versi edit/remix dari Sunmantra, trio leftfield elektronik asal ibukota. Jojo, Fritz dan Barhel mengambil lagu Seek Six Sick berjudul Antimacho Rockstar secara liar dari YouTube lalu menggubahnya menjadi perkakas lantai dansa bertemakan techno eksperimental/disko-post punk-new beat/ebm atau gaya musik-musik dansa lainnya yang menyampaikan kerasnya kehidupan. Acara dengan genre musik ini sedang berkembang secara signifikan dalam kurun dua tahun ini di seputaran Jakarta-Jogja-Bandung-Bali.

Dibandingkan dengan versi asalnya, remix Sunmantra ini memiliki gaya disko/techno minimal/elektro minor yang tingkat noise-nya lebih rendah dengan tata aransemen yang lebih linear. Repetisi dari potongan lagu asli, unsur elektronik ber-resonansi rendah dan lolongan frasa “Antimacho Rockstar”pun terdengar seiring naiknya tingkat efek delay/echo yang berharmoni dengan ‘acid line’ yang dihasilkannya mampu menghipnotis pendengar dalam lorong ber-strobo diselingi kedap-kedip lampu merah. Ini adalah musik kelab malam bagi orang-orang apatis dan depresi. Musik dansa untuk kaum anti sosial. Inspirasi atas bangkitnya kembali versi lain dari musik dansa elektronik indie/punk electro rock yang bukan metal.

Skena musik eksperimental terus mencari suara-suara dan teknik yang baru serta kemampuan pendengaran baru bagi pendengarnya. Suara lama diolah menjadi gelombang baru. Suasana aneh yang lambat laun secara intens menjadi sesuatu yang indah. Remix ini bukan untuk penggemar deep house, deep techno, deep trance, juga bukan musik kelab malam dengan drum kick macho tebal atau disko gitar wah-wah dengan ketipang-ketipung cerianya. Namun juga bukan hal yang terlalu aneh karena masih mempunyai kick, snare dan suara lain yang ritmis dan konstan yang bisa diikuti telinga dan otak dengan sederhana. Karya ini juga diproduksi/mixing dengan rapi sehingga terdengar jelas dan nyaman. Dansa atau tidak dansa, Anda patut mencoba menelusuri gelombang baru ini. —Aditya Permana (Dekadenz)
