Pavel Richter o albu:
Na začátku roku 2024 jsem byl tak trochu osloven pro mě dosud neznámou elektronickou hudbou, se všemi těmi drony, škrábáním, šušláním, praskáním apod. Což mě popravdě nijak zvlášť neoslovilo. Posléze jsem byl vyzván k účasti na projektu, který se však nevyvíjel podle mých představ. Nicméně inspirován, jsem vytvořil tuto nahrávku. Takže vznikl, ne programově, jakýsi pohled z dronu, který se vznáší nad smutnou krajinou. A raději beze slov.
Pouze bych dodal, že se nejedná o ambientní hudbu, ale o hudbu k spíše zadumanému poslechu.
Many thanks to all artists who make this compilation something very special with their track.
In the symphony of a distant world, seasons were played in chords.
Spring arrived as a light, gentle hum, its notes shimmering through
the air like a distant echo. Summer roared with vibrant,
esonant chords, filling the sky with heat and harmony.
Autumn fell in rich, slow minor scales, leaves swirling
in its fading echoes. Winter, a quiet, hollow hum,
pulsed through frozen air, each note sharp and distant.
The planet turned, its seasons woven in endless cycles
of sound—chords stretching through time, echoes bouncing
softly across the horizon, never fading completely.

Tiago Morais’s latest work is a bold exploration of minimalist and contemporary classical music, drawing deeply from the influences of iconic composers Philip Glass and Terry Riley. With an intricate and meditative approach, the album traverses a landscape of minimalist patterns, cyclical rhythms, and rich harmonic textures. This release is a culmination of Morais’s profound connection to classical traditions, fused with his ongoing experimentation with new sonic possibilities.
The album is a showcase of varied instrumentation, combining string quartets with solo violin performances and experimental re-interpretations of modern classics. Across its eight tracks, Tiago Morais presents a sophisticated interplay between structure and intuition, offering both technical brilliance and emotive depth.
This album is not just a reflection of Tiago Morais’s influences but also a statement of his evolving artistic identity. Drawing from the minimalist masters like Glass and Riley, he creates a sound that is both meditative and immersive. The inclusion of pieces by contemporary artists Nick Cave and Michael Gira adds a layer of modern resonance, bridging the gap between classical tradition and modern experimentalism.
Tiago Morais’s approach seeks to break the boundaries of traditional classical forms, offering listeners an opportunity to engage with music on a deeper, more personal level. Whether through the tightly interwoven lines of the string quartets or the raw intimacy of the solo violin pieces, this album resonates with the spirit of contemporary minimalism while pushing it toward new emotional and intellectual heights.
Cinnabar Club has returned with a four-song EP titled “Machine Magick”. The tracks have a menacing industrial atmosphere and strong motorik rhythms—first energising and then hypnotic—with a dose of satire and humour in the vocal performances.
The vocals and music evoke scenes reminiscent of a beleaguered dictator delivering a last frantic address from a barricaded radio station as ominous synthesisers and mechanical clangs signal the impending chaos. Cinnabar Club uses the format of electronic dance music to create a dramaturgy in which the keen listener can get lost.
The mysterious “Great Artist” is none other than one of Nuno Maltez’s (a.k.a. Fm-Ra, Klyven) alter-egos, and now he brings us a new album of ambient electronics, with sounds blowing in various directions.
Nine themes focused on I.D.M. electronics, but also on repetitions and sound layers.
This is one of those albums that is perfect to listen to while traveling, whether literally or figuratively, so relax and put on your headphones.

You start something – and stop it – but don’t finish. Unceasing conclusions linger, demanding an addendum of effort and tailpiece of thought. But the end is final, even if incomplete, and we are not afforded such supplementary luxuries. Experience, create, and accept.
Featuring clarinet.
Nine months later Takuro Takeda returns with another beautiful EP with just 4 tracks.
These are deliciously down-tempo arrangements, which, when allowed to stretch to five minutes lock the listener into a deep and fantastical daydream.
A collection of four tracks that’s more like a kind of therapy, if that doesn’t sound too New Age – Takeda’s music is much more epic and expansive and emotionally reflective than New Age.
In other words, if you listen BoC you’ll like Takeda’s music.
In the time we have, there is much to appreciate. Fresh angles are precious, as it is easy to fall into a seeming sameness. Though ultimately we tend to opt for comfort, the journey to other perspectives is what gives contentment context. Music is multifaceted.
Featuring clarinet.

Precise and detailed calculations can be unnerving – unerringly uncanny results we know are right, yet feel are somehow off. The universe is parsimonious, and so we expect pithy causes and succinct structures. But information has layers – apparent complexity underlies organization that our intuitions may miss.
This 29/16 track features synthesizers, acoustic guitars, bass guitars, piano, and effects.

Sýček je známý jako posel smrti, ale v české alternativní hudbě byl vždy přízviskem pro hudební antižánr krautrock, který tuzemské kapely do svých repertoárů zařazovali jen velmi sporadicky. Motorické bicí, hypnotické melodie, repetitivní struktury, minimalistické texty a heslo méně je více ale tuto kapelu charakterizovalo od prvních songů. Jejich debutové album „I” (vyšlo u NAAB) bylo v roce 2017 nadšeně přijato hudebními kritiky ( nominace na cenu Vinyla a zařazení do TOP10 českých desek za rok 2017 mezinárodního magazínu Beehype.) Po tom, co kapela hojně koncertovala a absolvovala i několik evropských tour, ale přišlo delší odmlčení zapříčiněné rozpadem původní jihočeské sestavy.
Sýček jako fénix vstává z popela v minulém roce, kdy frontman a zpěvák skupiny Libor Staněk II. společně s kytaristou Richardem Steinem (Pokora) do nové formace přizvali Jakuba Zháňala (ex Acute dose), Ambroze Šuleje (Krstní Otcovia) a Adama Křizovenského s Nataly Středovou (GRÜNT).
V současnosti už tedy česko-slovenská kapela Sýček na podzim 2024 vydává po sedmi letech druhou studiovou desku s lakonickým názvem „IV“. Nové uskupení se navrací tam odkud Sýček vzlétl poprvé: ke krautrockovému vzývání, které fanoušky uvádí do… more

An enumeration of steps and procedures. A notion of what ought to be done – or at least a way to do things. A form of preparation, a preparation of forms, and a gathering of prerequisites. A Plan.
