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)

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.

released February 12, 2023

El zoológico

“The Jungle & The Aquarium”

Your favorite zookeeper is back from the petite&jolie zoo!

We, at Petite&Jolie, are excited to present you the second release of petite&jolie and not only because it’s a wonderful travel through poptronics, melodies of “joie de vivre” and, let’s dare saying so, zoomotions, but also because it’s not everyday we’ll be releasing a double EP.

Indeed, El Zoológico is back at Petite&Jolie with his concept of catching the “essence” of animals through small’n’catchy tunes, classifying them by ecosystems.

Await emotions driven through pitzacattos and fuzzy synths, get ready for cuteness, fasten your belt, and don’t believe what they are saying around you, it’s really cute and fancy animals you see jumping all over your head when you’re listenning to this sweet release from El Zoológico.

WEEKS – WXY

WEEKS – WXY

WEEKS

“WXY”

As music reviewers, we’ve been following Chris Weeks for more than 10 years now and can easily count him as one of our most praised artists of the 10s. Among those, he might as well be one of the most underrated, whether under his birth name with numerous albums and EPs of radiating drone and dreamlike scintillating ambient, his Kingbastard moniker exploring territories closer to electronica, IDM and experimental techno, or as Myheadisaballoon, showcasing more pop and psychedelic elements. In short, imagine if Primal Scream, Autechre and Brian Eno were all one and the same person, and you’ll get an idea of the man’s creativity… suffice to say that his lack of recognition still comes as a shock to us at IRM. For this new release, that we are proud to share digitally as an exclusive, the UK producer takes on yet another alias, or so to speak. So, why WEEKS ? Probably because “WXY” didn’t exactly belong to any of his aforementioned identities : too ambient for Kingbastard, too minimalistic for Myheadisaballoon, too raw maybe for simply signing it Chris Weeks or make it fit with the apparently short-lived C\/\/\/\ project and its fragile chamber electronics. With massive layers of hiss, static and instable textures, hazy synths, syncopated drums and glitchy rhythms, this new album sounds very much spontaneous, which has been a dominant trait of Chris Weeks’ music of late. It feels organic and yet abstract, as much delicate as it is hefty, vast and intimate at the same time. Sometimes playful as well, but always filled with anxiety and unstability… so many paradoxes and seeming contradictions that make “WXY” quite captivating, another peak in Chris Weeks’ substantial body of work.

BRITNEY25

“Division Joie”

The Necrophile Hummingbird netlabel presents Division Joie by Britney25.
“Depressive Music for the Incurable People”

Whatever the bloody waves of dark thoughts, only the corpses return to the shore, but then they straighten up to scream in the wind: not even dead yet !

If a Goth spirit exists, it’s not a poser thing, not even the romantic taste for eros & thanatos, but a visceral thing, the malaise that transpires from the survivor who refuses to let himself be condemned, by the oppression of the system , to mark the end of his life. Exhibition of a skin-deep sensitivity, the echo of our shared nightmares, in a sound orgy. Journey through suffering. Cursed desperate, still laughing in the face of death ! Oscillation, like the flame that resists the night. Always on the verge of extinction, but still burning. Exorcism of emotion, ritual remains that are priceless. Fully aware of vanity, shouting not to be heard, but to hear that one is still alive. Aware that it is a downward spiral, the more darkness you feed on, the more darkness you invite into your life. Creative vicious circle that inevitably leads to the end. Isn’t life a form of agony ? Perhaps the exhibition of atrocities helps overcome damnation. Or maybe our pain can heal the wounds of the listener. Anyway, might as well have fun with the grace of those who know that life is a joke. When I talk of this album, because of the visual she chose to represent herself as Besançon’s “soeur sourire”, I call it the “black virgin”, I’m wrong, indeed the title is perfect, it is really the joy division, one side is in darkness, the other in the light. We are all walking on the borderline, and sometimes we slip… So don’t forget, don’t forget the fallen angels, because they are legion.

It seems that horsnorme music has always been too much gothic for experimental music audiences and too much experimental for gothic audiences. Britney25’s music is horsnorme, with no assigned place, always on the move, never where you expect it, cynical until the last moment… and beyond. It is a joy to welcome the latest offspring of this hyperactive outsider musician who refuses to return to her niche in the society of the spectacle.

By the way, a big fuck to the french governement which is trying to make the people work after their death… and the same way to be sure they have no time of life left to help the non-profit associations or any kind of non-governmental organizations. Their goal is clear, to erase any form of dissidence as well of margins, calling them separatism.

Philippe Neau – A Quiet Place

Philippe Neau – A Quiet Place
[mhrk325]

Philippe Neau

“A Quiet Place”

“”A quiet place” is an album where we are immersed in the imaginary and sound vision of a motionless traveller. This trip was built from field recordings recorded in real places, inside or outside. To these sounds are added analog ambient sounds. This sound mass is worked, mixed, kneaded, “sculpted” to create a “new landscape”, stratified and polyphonic. This vision took shape during more or less dreamy encounters and walks with the elements of the landscapes. The sounds mingled and overlapped, as did the places, gradually in my memory. From layer to layer, I let the “sound material do” in order to prolong its meditative states. I followed the vibrations. The sound material has thickened to give shape to a long reverie in one/several imagined/invented places, sort of separate spaces …. non-places? My thoughts and sounds are thus fixed around the trees, the clouds, the light, the movements of the sun, the sea, the water, the birds, the night, the wind, the little secret noises, the displacements. Of the fullness of the landscape, of the perception of the landscape, of the impressions. From the sound of my mind. From the presence…”

Le netlabel le Colibri Nécrophile présente forget mi note par Britney25
“Unforgettable Music for the Forgotten People”

Quelles que soient les vagues, elles reviennent toujours à la plage, aussi surement que le bras d’un tourne-disque, même si celle-ci a disparu depuis longtemps sous les détritus, eux même recouverts d’algues vertes potentiellement mortelles.

Si un esprit punk existe, ce n’est pas un truc de poseur, mais bien viscéral, genre la rencontre de l’urgence du futur présent et de l’écorché vif qui refuse de se laisser broyer par la machine du système.
Exhibition d’une sensibilité à fleur de peau, l’écho de nos cauchemars, partagés, dans une orgie de son. La résistance face à la souffrance. Porteuse d’espoir : même pas mal.
Résistance à l’oubli, du sel sur les plaies et au milieu du vomi, du trop-plein d’émotion, des caillots de sang qui n’ont pas de prix.
Oscillant à la frontière du grotesque, révolutionnaire ? Seule l’authenticité change la donne et nous donne envie de hurler nous aussi.
On est toutes et tous nés pour crever. Alors autant s’éclater avec la grâce de celles et ceux qui n’ont rien à perdre. Même pas mort encore. N’oublie pas, n’oublie rien.

Il semble que la musique horsnorme ait toujours été trop punk pour le public de la musique expérimentale et trop expérimentale pour le public punk. La musique de Britney25 est horsnorme, sans place attitrée, toujours en mouvement, jamais là où on l’attend, vivante jusqu’au dernier instant… et au-delà.
C’est une joie d’accueillir le dernier rejeton de cette voyageuse apatride qui refuse de rentrer dans sa niche à la société du spectacle.

Au passage, un gros doigt à l’État français qui expérimente le R.S.A avec travail forcé pour faire disparaitre un peu plus celles et ceux qui créent dans les marges.

“Unforgettable Music for the Forgotten People”

Whatever the waves, they always come back to the beach, as surely as the arm of a record player, even if it disappeared long ago under the rubbish, themselves covered with potentially fatal green algae.

If a punk spirit exists, it’s not a poser thing, but a visceral one, like the meeting of the urgency of the now future and the living skinned who refuses to let oneself be crushed by the machine of the system. Exhibition of skin-deep sensitivity, the echo of our shared nightmares, in an orgy of sound. Resistance to suffering. Bearer of hope, not even hurt !
Resistance to oblivion, salt on the wounds and in the middle of the vomit, the overflow of emotion, blood clots that are priceless. Oscillating on the border of the sublime and the grotesque, revolutionary ? Only authenticity changes the game and makes us want to scream too. We are all born to die. So might as well have fun with the grace of those who have nothing to lose. Not even dead yet. Don’t forget, don’t forget anything.

It seems that horsnorme music has always been too punk for experimental music audiences and too experimental for punk audiences. Britney25’s music is horsnorme, with no assigned place, always on the move, never where you expect it, alive until the last moment… and beyond. It is a joy to welcome the latest offspring of this stateless traveler who refuses to return to her niche in the society of the spectacle.

By the way, a big fuck to the French State which is experimenting a new RSA (the french solidarity allowance) with forced labor to make those who create on the margins disappear a little more… in the hands of the firms.

Grosso Gadgetto

“Come With Me”

Since 2002, far away from the classic formats, Grosso Gadgetto puts his mark in contemporary indie hip-hop, the music of movies, contemporary shows and video games. He voluntarily destabilizes the listener by these sound deluges, under a fire nourished of scary atmospheres, drone layers, pervert breakbeats, metal guitars and catchy and addicting melodies, perfect soundtracks for a sick and claustrophobic science fiction movie that John Carpenter would probably not deny.

20 years on in Grosso Gadgetto’s extraordinary artistic endeavours, we are delighted and proud to present his Mahorka debut “Come with me”, coming out also as beautiful limited edition cassette, as a notable addition to his impressive discography.

Released November 19, 2022

“Utopie 13”

Utopie 13 – A quel monde les adultes de demain rêvent-ils ?

Deux adolescents de 13 ans ont participé à cette création sonore. Durant un entretien improvisé, dans le sous-sol de leur lieu de villégiature estival, loin des autres adultes, sans consigne, sans censure, sans limite, les deux adolescents se plongent dans leurs fantaisies pour mettre les utopies issues de leur imagination à l’épreuve des expériences sensibles qu’ils ont vécues.

Comment se construit l’imaginaire des adultes en devenir ? L’utopie survivra-t-elle au récit qui en est fait ? La matière du rêve peut-elle être explorée, dite, partagée ? Peut-on la mettre à l’épreuve du vécu, des valeurs, des récits et de l’expérience que les adolescents ont acquis au cours de leur début de vie ? L’utopie est-elle amenée à advenir ?

Les mondes imaginaires des deux collégiens laissent deviner les préoccupations et les inquiétudes qui les habitent, mais aussi leurs espérances et leurs espoirs.

Utopie 13, une création sonore de joseph enregistrée en août 2022 au Havre (Seine-Maritime), production, réalisation, mixage en novembre 2022 à Gennevilliers (Hauts-de-Seine).

Toutes les illustrations musicales et visuelles ont été composées, interprétées et dessinées par joseph, explorateur sonore, musicien.

The imaginary worlds of the two teenagers reveal the concerns and worries that inhabit them, but also their hopes and expectations.
