Depression Embrace

“Вилино коло – Vilje Kolo – Fairy Ring”

Вилино коло – Vilje Kolo, or “Fairy Ring” – is a common toponym. Places with this name were associated with legends that said that fairies used to play there. A fairy ring is a circle or semicircle of grass that differs from the surrounding grass (it is more lush or stunted, a different color). It is often found in a clearing, on top of a hill, or near a spring. It could be marked by a circle of mushrooms in a meadow (a fairy tale). If there was an elevation within this circle, it was said that a bagpiper or some other player was standing on it, while the fairies danced around it. Other similar toponyms indicate the same belief (Vilina Voda, Vilina izvor).

There was a fear of illness and death among the people who would step on the fairy ring. A man who stumbled upon a fairy’s playground (or dinner, found a fairy bathing or enjoying some other kind of pleasure) would be severely punished. The severity of this offense is so serious because fairy rites are mysterious, prohibit the presence of the uninitiated and take place in taboo places. In the legend about the fairy ring, the practice of initiation rites is reflected. A girl is considered a girl from the day she first enters the circle and goes through this important rite of passage. The offender was punished by deprivation of sight or hearing, paralysis, or death.

Forgiveness of sins and healing could only be given to him by the fairy. The trampling of the fairy’s playground and the outcome of this transgression are sung by the Sibinian folk song Janko s vila. For fairies and other demons, the game has a very reasonable strength. Fairies get angry if someone interrupts them in a game uninvited, while, on the other hand, their favorite pastime is to bring someone into the circle and “outplay” them. They would transfer part of their supernatural power to the grass they were playing on, so it became “dangerous” or “miraculous”.

Mod 8c XP

Three years after BERG 7, The Committee For Sonic Research are pleased to present another volume of archival recordings from the British Experimental Rocket Group.

It would have been naive to assume that the global Covid pandemic and subsequent geopolitical and socio-economic events would not have impacted on the BERG audio publication project. As a noted physicist once said, “When b + b/1+b2 < = 1{5r9} You’re bound to have delays.”

Over the past year, individuals have continued to contact the Committee offices with hard media or potential sources or leads where BERG material from the various research branches were once located. We thank everyone who has contributed material that has been incorporated into this latest edition. Much has been kindly donated from private collections whilst other finds have been acquired via more clandestine methods and so we have agreed to protect the anonymity of these donors. Of particular note however, we must thank and acknowledge the meticulous investigative work of staff from a research establishment near Oppdal who’s work authenticating BERG recordings has been critical to the project.

The recordings within this latest collection represent a pivotal moment in the BERG story representing as they do, a sizeable collection of sonic experiments we believe to be associated with the long abandoned ‘Project Echo-Hammer’ which, post schism, was sadly developed for military applications. Much controversy exists today about the alleged consequences of the testing that took place at a purported remote arctic research facility, but we feel that the inclusion of a sample of these recordings which have been rendered safe for human hearing ranges, is justified for it’s historic significance and will be of interest to the casual listener as well as those engaged in serious academic research.

With more material yet to be assessed, cleaned and compiled, we expect that there will be more fascinating BERG releases to come in this series.

Superfreak – Explain to me your meme

Superfreak

“Explain to me your meme”

It had been a while since Superfreak had started pretending to understand what everyone was talking about. He looked at the memes and smiled just for fear of being left out. At that point he decided to update himself by opening the semiotics manuals.
This album is on his journey between the generation of meaning and the memetic irony. A failed journey translated in music in a cheerful but melancholic Casio tone-saxophone-drums weird pop.

Superfreak quote: “Special Thanks to Lexia. Rivista di Semiotica Viralità. A book that turned me on Memes, semiotics and all that boring stuff that I put in the lyrics. Music, English, Theories in this album are wrong or imperfect, as imperfect is my life”.

Eduardo Only

“Panspermia”

“Panspermia” es el tercer lanzamiento del productor Eduardo Only para Pueblo Nuevo. Desde la sureña ciudad de Concepción, el artista nos presenta este nuevo EP ofreciéndonos 4 tracks que continúan con el ejercicio de abarcar sonoridades cercanas al Breakbeat y al Drum’and’bass. A los potentes beats y breaks habituales, se suman voces sampleadas que humanizan el desborde, dándole una continuidad a las secuencias y depositando en nuestros oídos referencias reconocibles para el buen auditor entrenado. La recomendación entonces es: déjese transportar por el espacio a unos buenos decibeles y contamínese de estos microorganismos sónicos, que el viaje es corto pero intenso.

The recommendation then is: let yourself be transported through space at good decibels and get contaminated by these sonic microorganisms, the trip is short but intense.

Arabia Saudade – Estudando a Am​é​rica do sul

Arabia Saudade – Estudando a Am​é​rica do sul

Arabia Saudade

“Estudando a Am​é​rica do sul”

PLOT
The third and last album of ARABIA SAUDADE completes the sad story of their Arab Character. Arrived in Brazil with big luggage full of Saudade on the first album (Americ) our character started loving the carnival frenzy of its new home (Le Petit Senegallia) and now is ready to discover all the countries of South America. His trip driven by Wikipedia info leads him to unconditional love for the continent. But when the joy reaches the apex it is time to go back home. As Joao Gilberto taught us: joy has an end and sadness doesn’t.

ALBUM:
The 12 new tracks recorded by ARABIA SAUDADE are one for each South American country (except Brazil which was the main theme of the previous albums). Each lyrics is focused on something taken from the Wikipedia page and then explored live by the Italian band. It took four years to check all the news with real intercontinental trips. During these trips Arabia Saudade embedded Cazzurillo because their Portuguese was still translated with Google Translate, and she was the only one that could understand our sad guys.

REFERENCE:
The travelling helped Arabia Saudade to discover tons of new music and evolve their arabpunk sound. We can sum up in these references:

Downtown Boys, Gal Costa, Bad Bunny, Gong, La Tigresa Del Oriente, Wendy Sulca

released February 28, 2023

PIRATE Tapes

“McClintic Sphere”

The Necrophile Hummingbird Netlabel presents McClintic Sphere by PIRATE Tapes.
“Intuitive Music for Instrumental People”

Sometime words are useless, when they are right above the surface, whispering so loud that you can nearly catch them, that’s why we kept raw this improvisation session.
Music is universal because instead of our own words, you can let your one’s talk on this music.
What to say more… This has been recorded around one year before our common friend departure.
It’s not our usual psychedelic noise, it can be perturbing first, far further into the darkjazz neverland, but once you shift with it, you’ll reach this reality like a kind of parallel universe of Thomas Ruggles Pynchon novels. If Hum Antenna was the psychedelic side, here come the neo-noir.

Recorded the 29th June 2021 at Cave Haven in Foucherans (france).
Members :
Studio 112 (electric guitare and FX)
McClintic (electric guitare and percussions)
Ed End (kaossilator, turntable, sounds)

Dedicated to the keeper of Tom thumb’s cave and to all smugglers who cultivate the imagination from generation to generation.

CIALYN – OMEGA (Soundtrack)

CIALYN – OMEGA (Soundtrack)

CIALYN

“OMEGA (Soundtrack)”

OMEGA is a Science Fiction film directed in 16mm by Donald Fox and produced by Alan Singer in 1970.
The film is entirely composed of special effects which gives it great visual interest.
Seized with an irresistible desire to give this film a soundtrack that could support both its narration and its typical atmosphere of the 70s, I set to work and imagined a music in “Berlin School” vein.
A version of this soundtrack synchronized to the film is available here : youtu.be/VDRTpw2o2aU
this soundtrack was recorded to “illustrate” and echo the images as much as possible. So, this work takes on its full meaning when coupled with the film.
