The Process:
On January 20th, 2021, C. Goff III interacted with the inauguration ceremony for American President Joseph R. Biden through a live electronic audio improvisation. As the ceremony aired through a portable radio in the Kansas City, Kansas, Taped Rugs studio, Goff reacted by creating an interpretive soundscape. This hour-long performance was taped on, and later mixed down from, a Tascam 424MKIII 4-Track Cassette Recorder.
Goff later edited out several portions of the hour-long improvisation, creating Sections 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9 of “One Twenty Twenty One.” No effects nor overdubs were added to these edits.
Instrumentation:
Korg R3 Vocoder/Synthesizer, Korg Z1 Synthesizer, Micro Moog Analog Synthesizer, Billiard Man The Theremin, Voice, Ibanez DM 1000 Digital Delay, Boss RC 20X Loop Station Loop Duplicator
Several days after the inauguration ceremony, Goff reshaped brief edits from a recording of the ceremony’s radio broadcast to create Sections 2, 4, 6, and 8 of “One Twenty Twenty One.” Included in these sections are vocalizations from Lady Gaga, Jennifer Lopez, Garth Brooks, Amanda Gorman, and Leo J. O’Donovan III.
Computer Software:
Cool Edit Pro II, Audacity, Midisoft MIDI Scorewriter, Windows Media Player, Roxio 2011 Sound Recorder, Several Plug-In Audio Sound Effects
Goff mixed together the various edited sections to form the unified recording of “One Twenty Twenty One” on February 20th, 2021.

Eterna – Organix EP
Insectorama 098
Welcome Eterna to insectorama with his incredibly relaxed track “Organix”. The perfect route for a red sunset in spring. Ekodust (Brian Pasmore) and Markus Masuhr each made a remix for the track and thus expanded the dense, deep atmosphere of this track. At the end there is also Ekodust’s track “Magnetic Drift”, which puts you in the effect of floating particles and the echoes make you forget space and time.
Tracklist:
1. Eterna – Organix
2. Eterna – Organix (Ekodust Remix)
3. Ekodust – Magnetic Drift
4. Eterna – Organix (Markus Masuhr Reinterpretation)

The Process:
1) Isolated in their individual recording studios, each artist separately recorded several hours of improvised material.
2) From late January through early February, 2021, Goff performed a number of machinations to these recordings: splitting them apart, mixing pieces together, altering pitches, rhythms, timbres, tambors, etc. In some cases, MIDI and other computer programs were used to change the original recorded bits so dramatically that their antecedents became completely unrecognizable.
The Tools:
Goff:
Korg R3 Vocoder/Synthesizer, Korg Z1 Synthesizer, Billiard Man The Theremin, Five Below Modified Sound Generator, Boss RC 20X Loop Station Loop Duplicator, Cool Edit Pro II, Audacity, Midisoft MIDI Scorewriter, Windows Media Player, Roxio 2011 Sound Recorder, Several Plug-In Audio Sound Effects, Amazing MIDI Wave-To-MIDI, Polysoft MIDI to Mp3 Converter

A romantic, doomed record with a cavernous internal world. It is powered by textures, composed of slowly-gathering layers, and deliberate in its contrasts as clean tones sing through the mist; at once melancholic and warmly soothing. Sombre guitar mantras pool around synths drenched in blue dusk, ushering these thoughts to their resting place.

Words from the artist:
Torre di Fine is a two-piece band who focuses on alternative music with strong influences from shoegaze, post-rock, slowcore and glitch electronics. Born in 2020 after a late work shift, the entire album has been composed, rehearsed and recorded in a 450sq ft apartment in the midst of a decaying suburban area of north-east Italy.
Stripped-down arrangements, a strong focus on ambience and overall bad mood, this first output hits close to themes of isolation, uneasiness and alexithymia. Beside all these pompous words, Torre di Fine is a way to play music we like in the murkiest way possible.

If unconventional 2020 had a soundtrack, this album would be a perfect match. Passeio no Parque sounds like a lighthearted invitation made out of levity, but the 15 songs that the album entails, share the same exasperated sound that leaves little or no room for casual.
With an extremely visual hearing, it strikes all five senses. As the first note hits, we are engulfed by the feeling that we are standing on the precipice of something extraordinary. As if a cinematic filter was applied to our daily lives, adding a profound meaning to the most common situation.
Cheat Code: we recommend listening to it with your eyes closed and following – without hesitation – the tour to another dimension that insists on giving us.

Gun Power is a music band from Moscow. Nevertheless, the band was born in Thailand in 2017 by travelling musicians, who were playing in reggae bars all around Koh Samui and Koh Phangan islands. After returning to Russia, they decided to keep groovin’ together and that’s how Gun Power was founded.
In 2019 Gun Power started working with Culture Horn Sound System, recording compositions that the CHSS team worked on. Later the same year, the band started to experiment with the sound, making improvisational concerts, playing over with jazz, dub, funk, instrumental “chillrave.” In 2020, as a result of the pandemic times, the band was reshaped. But despite these changes, Gun Power is still working on events and a studio album.
This release is the result of their collaboration with Culture Horn Sound System and includes two songs and two dubs, following the format of all the releases of culture horn. The first tune is a rework of the classic anthem of Althea and Donna in a discomix style, while the title track Feel It is their first song ever released, written in a lovers rock style. Both tracks are accompanied by the obligatory dub mixes

eidoscognitio is Alejandro Betancourt, an electroacoustic performer from Venezuela. Alejandro was born in Barquisimeto, Lara and started to compose, play and perform live on his early 30΄s. In his work he tends to explore the richness and the always interesting evolving atmospheres of all soundscapes he can get: Field recordings, sound libraries and synthesizer/sampler generated ones.
His work is heavily influenced by ambient music. He rarely uses rhythm loops, although he creates the sense of a beat using a virtual effect plug-in that allows him to loop a certain fragment of his performance.
Etched Traumas is happy to release the third work of eidoscognitio titled ‘A Pathetic Lounge Act‘.

For its 48th release, Da ! Heard It Records takes a leak into the unknown.
On the sleeve picture, conceptualized by Pia-Mélissa Laroche, Johann Mazé chooses the bag race to cross what seems to be a rural garden. In simple terms, he thus shows the listener the step to follow: one must jump with feet together in this eccentric universe with blurry borders, as if out of some dream, at the very place where a sleepy memory weaves strange links among things.
Here, enigmatic voices escape a house without walls into which one enters through the roof; improbable ritualistic rhythms form alternately the outlet of an imaginary tribe or a parade of a cannibalistic Yellow Jackets’ batucada; elsewhere, a wobbly walz lulls the ear with soft dissonances; farther still, a piano turns off in the night, a harmonica rises, a metronome sets the tone of a charade of diverse and catchy percussions…
Like an exquisite cadaver on a piece of paper that we unfold little by little, each new piece of the puzzle opens the door onto an unexpected territory. Passing from one thumbnail to the next though, the atmospheres answer each other with a clever sonorous montage, a patchwork of field recordings, of sonorous poetry… more
