A journey from the interior of the earth to the most remote corners of the universe, searching in this experimental and mental sound space gives us an idea of what could be out there, we explore in this musical platform and find it, some contact with these creations; how far could the imagination go? Possibilities hard to visualize but that have traces going through complex evolutions, entering unknown sonorous territories. With the strength and resistance of Pueblo Nuevo, these winds have allowed us to explore more complex musical possibilities, opening up new places. The contact and search for intelligent life in other worlds has few wings of being, but here is an air of hope with sound languages based on machines that assimilate transmissions or voids in space.

Overview by Iron Mon
In the fall of 2020 my regular gig playing piano for ballet classes was forced by COVID to go virtual. I still commuted to campus and broadcast my playing from an empty studio. The building was being renovated, so a small group of construction workers walked the student-less hallways. Between classes, I began to experiment with recording my playing from a small portable recorder placed in the hallway outside the studio–partly to capture the strange whistle that one particular corridor often produces. The result is a hiss-heavy album wherein construction workers are heard walking by, an instructor’s voice is faintly heard far away, and the piano also sounds like a distant thing.*
The resulting recordings resonated with me emotionally in a way that felt appropriate for the year. It’s been hard to see and recognize beauty. Truth is relentlessly attacked, obfuscated, and denied. It feels like we’re stuck in a room outside the room where something beautiful may be happening. We know or believe that it exists, but we can’t see it or touch it. We’re being kept out of that space.
Headphones are recommended.
*(There is also one song recorded at home from the hallway outside my office–the recorder set next to a dog who is resting in his bed, nervously smacking his lips. Is it a strange kind of ASMR? Is this whole album? It may be to me.)

violence happens against humans, animals, the earth. not property. looting & vandalism ARE non-violent protest. burn down the symbology of oppression—this is a powerful gesture. don’t compare it to the loss of life by using the word “violent.”

AARD had an intense existence for three years, performing several electronic improv sessions, all recorded at the University of Sheffield Studios, also known as The Sound House, they also had several live presentations at various opportunities and spaces in the city of Sheffield.
These tracks correspond to rehearsal sessions for a concert given at the Foodhall, located in the city centre and which performs a great social work as community kitchen and public dining room.The title refers to a nearby avenue where the duo traveled numerous times in search of a concert or a few beers.This is a surrealistic dark journey into the night flying over an imaginary version of that avenue…
The necrophile hummingbird presents the third issue of Studio112 staggering “Radioactive Trilogy”.
Welcome to the depths of sound science experiments. Sometimes we would like to be able to glide into a parallel universe, music could be this place, to escape this universe where all the living are stabbed to death by industries, all victims of the capitalism’s insanity. And especially the humans killed by industrial junk food, air pollution, the consequences of the climate crisis and others horror. It is the slow genocide of our loves, of our friends, of our children. Will we let this system destroy life on earth any longer? Adjust sunglasses and cry, or struggle to end this race for false promises, there is no happiness in consumerism!
Studio112 is the main project of Alain Grille also electric guitarist and musicmaker in rADio eNd / Multiple Personality 3 / PIRATE Tapes / EVA Vertigo / TKno BeurK / MK-Ultra
The two previous issues Radioactive Woman and Radio Play will be publish next on the netlabel… time is a reverted process.

Home Office Ambience
“When almost every other aspect of human society is suppressed, production must continue. The boundary between private and work life is sometimes non-existent and the dream is fulfilled. Every lockdown consists of moments of despair, hope and obligatory cover songs. It is what it is.”
Recording, mix, most of the sounds and cover photo by Márty.
Track 2 contains various samples from covid-era documents and news and intro from the 1968 WKBW Adaptation of “War of the Worlds” by Orson Welles.
Mastered by Daremes.
Recorded with significant pauses between spring and autumn 2020 at home, office and very few outdoor locations.
