We already know to avoid yellow snow – but that isn’t the only danger. More insidious, subtly causing ill effect – bad cream enters, lingers, grows. As with all things, it will eventually pass – though, it is a question of direction.
Featuring synthesizers, generative sequencers, arpeggiators, electric keys, and effects.
GoH-817: Mazinkhaos – First Alert 01: Simulation Case
Conceptual, thirty minutes long soundscape joining dreamy, cinematic space ambient with a handful of post-industrial components like heavy pulsations, distorted drones, strange noises and speech processed beyond recognition. Relaxation meets underskin tension and impression of touching a great mystery. A sonic ingredient completing artist’s visual work over gnostic/mecha themes.
“…A creation turned reflex and an almost immediate – and sharp – realization: Christophe Bailleau O’Farrell refuses and abhors the obvious.
This new EP, marking yet another milestone in an already rich collaboration with the Mahorka label, denounces in every way the easy choices – too often deliberate – and the nervousness of an era where frequency has replaced rarity as a standard of value. “Locust bean gum” is a work that seeks the unexpected, the possibly necessary coherence, and finds a new sensation.
From the porous boundaries of an acoustic approach to the deepest and most striking abstractions, “Locust bean gum” continues to open countless perspectives – and just as many present thrills.
Endless investigation deserves a few rewards!”
–Thierry Massard

Roberto Vodanović Čopor is a multimedial artist from Zadar, Croatia. He has released on various independent labels, including Asonu., Green Field Recordings, Sonospace, Nowaki, Camembert Électrique, Warm Milk Recordings, The Church Of Noisy Goat, Mahorka… In his music he often combines the sounds of nature or the sounds of cities, and as background he uses sounds created from everyday objects.
“What happens when we become silent” is an experimental dark ambient music project that explores the multifaceted nature of silence. The album opens with evocative field recordings of birdsong at dawn and raindrops tapping gently against a window – fragile sounds that draw the listener into a contemplative space.
Through immersive textures and shadowy sonic landscapes, the project delves into our complex relationship with silence. It asks: what does silence reveal, and what does it conceal? Is it a refuge – a trusted companion in a noisy world – or a haunting presence that unsettles the soul?
Blurring the boundaries between the natural and the abstract, “What happens when we become silent” invites the listener to sit with stillness, to confront it, and to find meaning within its depths.
Produced by Roberto Vodanović Čopor in 2024-2025

Sunnesther’s latest addition to her prolific catalog keeps reassuring her place as one of Mexico’s cult, independent artists that have found in electronic music an outlet, not just for experimentation, but for deeply personal expression as well. It should go without saying, but Sunnesther has always been able to endow her music with raw emotion that oozes through her excellent use of sampling and sound manipulation, and this album is no exception.

Analogic musical improvisation recorded live in the 5th December 2024 at the Cave Haven in Foucherans. (The Cave Haven is dead but The Possible Field is back…)
Special Thanks to Wilhelm Richard Wagner for the music.
And to Poussière d’étoile d’araignée, our home rabbit, who drew the artwork.
In December 2024 it was no more possible to download the netlabel albums on internet archive. So I added all my 5 Bandcamp profiles here https://www.horsnorme.org (Also if you are not afraid by the changes you may check Subvert the own by artists alternative…) It’s fixed since but it was quite heavy to our little musical community to do not know the future at this time. Sad. Not the better days. Thanks so much for your interest in Free Music.
Dedicated to the team and the donators who are keeping the Internet Archive alive.
In May 2025 I moved from Foucherans to Dole, not that far, but really different. I’m still running Radio Free Albemuthorsnorme audioblog despite it’s now open to name your price and pay what you want zero include albums. And the web radio will be back on air in a few days…

Eight thousand and thirty days later.
The known world lies in crumbs.

22 years later: the desire is still there with the musicians, the skills are there as well. Much more equipment has moved into the houses and and studios. The software is paid for, the incentives or new life contents are numerous. The musical styles have somehow changed. But the desire to express ourselves, to express ourselves in our cosmos still exists.
The first issue delves into more serious electronics. Included old friends, but also musicians that we have not yet not yet heard on Phonocake.
If you like, please send in a track! For the later editions of the celebration compilation. Find the link at release page 150.
“Mahamboro menulis dan merekam album ini sebagai respon terhadap komodifikasi musik menjadi pola-pola populis yang mudah dikenali dan dicerna. Lewat sudut pandang tersebut, projek ini menjadi kritik terhadap absuritas dalam menilai dan atau mengukur suatu gaya musik; bagaimana musik eksperimental ataupun jazz melampaui pelabelan karya seni yang dijual di pasar tertentu, pada waktu tertentu, panggung tertentu dan ketentuan tertentu. Judul album ini mengadopsi judul album ketiga dari Throbbing Gristle.”
Multi-instrumentalis yang juga berperan sebagai individu penting di kalangan musik eksperimental, Mahamboro menunjukkan taring tajamnya di album “7 Jazz Pop Greats”. Dari judulnya sudah membuat mata tertegun, diikuti oleh judul lagu yang membuat penggiat musik Jazz seperti saya sedikit terkikik. Di semua track, Mahamboro tetap menunjukkan dentuman dan tekstur yang khas, bunyi gemuruh ala dia ditambah sentuhan manis Saxophone khas Joe Lovano di album Nocturno-nya Charlie Haden.
Saya menyebutnya sebagai pribadi paling berbakat yang pernah saya temui. Tidak hanya talenta, Mahamboro mempunyai kepekaan yang luar biasa terhadap segala seuatu yang ditekuninya. Biarpun kadang saya gemas karena kurangnya fokus di bertahun-tahun masa karirnya, tapi semua orang selalu menganggumi beliau dari jauh. Tidak hanya sebagai seniman suara, namun kontribusi dia di lingkungan musik sekitarnya.
Entah ini intrepretasi trek-trek musik hits Jazz dunia, atau sekedar plesetan, atau mungkin juga cemooh terhadap genre tersebut. Apapun itu, saya paham bahwa ada kelas yang seharusnya dilenyapkan di genre musik di Indonesia. Tidak merasa lebih hanya karna nada/hitungan lebih rumit, tidak memicingkan mata hanya karna bunyinya berbeda, dan menghakimi padahal tidak mengerti.
Dibuka dengan Track manis dibalut oleh kekacauan. Diikuti Track 2 yang menunjukkan benang merah album ini yang terlalu cepat diurai dan ditutup dengan bunyi saturatif yang menarik. Track 3 digempur dengan dentuman keras semi rapat dan Saxophone serupa rapalan musik Rap. Pertengahan Track 4 dikejutkan oleh Altissimo dari Saxophone. Lalu ada bunyi distraktif di Track 5 seperti detik jam dan diakhiri helaan nafas serupa kabut. Track 6 diawali dengan bunyi strobo dan airy saxophone lalu disambut ketukan drum ala Nate Smith, membuat Track ini terdengar seperti musik ritual dibanding musik dansa. Track 7, Nada-nada Arpeggio dibalut dengan efek suara ditemani bunyi angkasa ala Ryoji Ikeda, membuat Track penutup ini menciptakan visual berbayang.
Tidak hanya panggung dengan tata suara megah, ini adalah album yang seharusnya menemani para pencinta kopi di interior brutalist alih-alih bossa nova yang kian tidak selaras dengan situasi negara yang carut marut.
Tesla Manaf, Bandung 30 Mei 2025
An event, not quite right – but, it works. Unindicated, not unerring, simply suggestive. Follow the suggestion, and vindicate retroactively. Resonances rebound, and eventually align.
Featuring improvised piano.
GoH-815: Malísima – The Art of Slowly Being The Only One Left
Massive work of greatly crafted, distant, blurry drones with industrial and noisy edge, shifting between realms of dark and dreamy. Another excellent creation from Spain’s Malísima.
This is the latest release from Japanese multi-instrumentalist Reiko Nonoyama.
This work, consisting of only two tracks and it’s the third in the series titled “Solo” In this album, Nonoyama explores the sonic possibilities of free improvisation, playing drums, piano, and percussion.
“Solo 3” reflects her intimate and experimental approach, which is a hallmark of her musical journey.
An album that offers a unique auditory experience, combining elements of free jazz and sound art, and stands out as an authentic expression of Nonoyama’s creativity.
GoH-746: Mass Graven Image – Crime Meridian
Two massive tracks filled with heavy industrial drones, distorted speech samples, dark, cinematic ambience and crushing waves of electronic noise. Mass Graven Image, as usual paints a pessimist reflection of the modern reality filled with soulless mechanization washed of the foundation of primordial spark, that used to make us human beings. A grim testimony of the last days – no need to say more, get this!
The syntax of sin, the tax of sines – a trial to share, a signal from tines. To see and to stare are two different things, so to those bemused – beware puzzling.
Featuring synthesizers, drum machines, flute, orchestral strings, brass, choir, piano, kitchen cups, baby toys, and effects.
On July 6, 2017, a gathering took place at El Foro, that is, Madrid, Spain. In La Tortuga de Lavapiés, a very active social and cultural center in the neighborhood, we witnessed a four-part concert organized by Eventos Latimeria / Almudena Villar. The beautiful title of the sound recording you now hold in your hands — “Madrid Austral” — is also her creation.
Javier Piñango, Juan Antonio Nieto, and Mika Martini each offered a solo piece before coming together in a joint performance. A memorable evening, further validated by its release as a record, as it includes a sound document by the great Juan Antonio Nieto aka Pangea, who crossed the Rainbow in Madrid on February 27, 2022.
And who are they? A brief introduction…
JAVIER PIÑANGO. MADRID, 1962.
A key figure in the sonic landscape since the 1980s. Summarizing his work and career in just a few words would be impossible.
A few of his activities include:
Director of the international experimental music festival Experimentaclub and of the experimental music dissemination project of the same name. Co-director of the Ibero-American artistic exchange and cultural cooperation project Experimentaclub LIMb0. In short, nearly forty years of dedicated work within the Spanish avant-garde sound scene across many fronts: musician, cultural programmer, founder of record labels, music journalist…
As a musician, Javier Piñango‘s sonic body of work is vigorous and tactile, with the power of analog instruments such as his inseparable Korg MS-20 synthesizer.
Ode from Javier Piñango to the Korg MS-20: «A few more words for and about the Korg MS-20. I’ve always considered it, in some way, to be a punk-era synthesizer. Probably first for purely chronological reasons — Korg manufactured it in 1978 and it remained in production until 1983. Secondly, because its excellent price-to-quality ratio made it an affordable tool compared to other synthesizers, opening up access to synthetic means for many noisy, unorthodox, and transgressive musicians. Finally, because of its own special characteristics, it perfectly matched the ‘do-it-yourself’ spirit of punk: it was a two-VCO, semi-modular, patchable synthesizer whose fantastic and versatile connection panel allowed for a vast range of creative possibilities. Add to that the MS-20’s uniquely thick sound, and you have a simply fantastic synthesizer.»
JUAN ANTONIO NIETO AKA PANGEA. MADRID 1961 / MADRID 2022.
His presence lives on in us — a beautiful human being and a masterful sound artist.
Juan Antonio collaborated with great creators across the world. His works have been featured in art installations in numerous countries.
“The main idea behind my music is to explore the evocative power of sounds, outside of the conventional elements found in most musical compositions, such as rhythm or melody. The different timbres must stand on their own, and it is their interaction that brings emotional content to the work, aiming to establish a bond between the composition and the listener. These sounds — harsh, even irritating on their own — acquire an entirely different dimension when combined.”
And now, the guest of the evening, Hugo Espinosa Chellew. Written like that, many might say: All right, and…?
But everything changes when we say:
MIKA MARTINI. SANTIAGO DE CHILE, 1967.
With studies in architecture, a degree in design, and a relationship with music that began in 1996, he gave life to his alter musicus Mika Martini in 2004:
“I began my solo music work in early 2004, with a clear objective: to rescue and blend sounds from the Chilean ethnic heritage with abstract elements, drawing on techniques such as microsampling and minimalism. In parallel, I also developed work more closely tied to experimental music and electronic improvisation.”
To date, Mika Martini has released 12 albums under his name, in addition to appearing in compilations and collaborative works. On July 1, 2005, he co-founded the label Pueblo Nuevo Netlabel, which now boasts over 240 published albums and counting. He was also part of the collective Electroacoustic Community of Chile (CECh) — and the story could go on. In 2011, he gave birth to another alter musicus: Frank Benkho — music that is playful, analog-digital, and full of energy. Hyperactive? Perhaps.
“I make music according to the people I meet.”

You may notice it was a special month focus on REfugEEs From Beyond, next month the other projects will be back.
So after ten years of insane dreams the Cave Haven (2015-2025) is now dead, I’ve spent the last two weeks moving everything in a new place.
The good side is that Saint-Nazaire’s possible field (1997-2012) is reboot here in Dole. A few information already available in french here http://www.horsnorme.org/ak/ (mostly it explains that the possible field home studio will be also an open third place)
Special thanks to life to never let me fall asleep in comfort.
Dedicated to all those who continue to live in permanent mutation because this will change society soon or later.
