Four psychedelic drones on the border between oblivion and reality, recorded over several nights in the summer of 2022 during live improvisation sessions.
Released May 27, 2023
Recorded and mastering by Skopje in Akko, Israel. August 2022
“London based acoustic slide guitarist Geiger von Müller takes the listener on a trip to outer space on his new album Slide Sonatas II.. He takes it slow, conjuring images of asteroids passing by as tumbleweeds in a Western movie. His blues-based instrumentals honour the less-is-more approach of a musician who is set on discovering limitless possibilities within the space of a couple of choice notes.”

Here we’ve got Girl Boy Moog (a band who took its band name from the three members which is nothing but a boy, a girl and a Moog (a broken Moog that doesn’t work apparently, but nevertheless a Moog.)) and we also got their “Hum The Beat EP” which originally was released in 2001 in a limited edition.
When we asked the members of Girl Boy Moog about re-releasing their masterwork online, as an mp3-release, they said that they really wanted us to do so, cause they lost the tracks a long time ago and wanted to hear the music again themselves…
With “Hum The Beat”, Girl Boy Moog takes us on an unforgettable journey full old trains, cute girls, happy Japanese people and most of all broken Moogs.
1. MORNING EUPHORIA IN TOKYO SUBWAY
Tokyo subway is always busy and full of motion, and this morning is nothing different. But wait!
Everyone’s happy and the station is also full of Japanese people painted in green, red and bright yellow!
2. GETTING ON A TRAIN
Here our train-journey starts. Girl Boy Moog takes up their guitars and sings this song about pretty girls and happy trains. We like it!
3. SHE’S A CATFISH
This is a song about ghost houses, healthy people and communication problems over languages. Who’s a catfish? You’re a catfish? Are there any catfishes at all?? She’s a catfish!
4. ABOUT THE THINGS I HAD TO SAY
Synthesizers, funky guitars, kazoo and Girl Boy Moogs trademark basslines blends in this pretty laidback tune. And Paris is a palindrome. But is it really?
5. HUM THE BEAT
Aren’t you also sitting and humming the beat all day long? Girl Boy Moog is, be sure!
6. TOTTENHAM COURT ROAD (STRAWBERRY ICE MACHINE)
An unforgettable classic, this “Tottenham Court Road (Strawberry Ice Machine). Girl Boy Moog’s singing, “I’ve never been to London.” But we on Candy Mind have heard that the truth is that it’s not true. Apparently both the Girl and the Moog have been to London. The Boy however was forced to stay home. Someone must guard the house you know.

For this work I used solely the sounds of a typhoon that I experienced over the summer. That day, I recorded what happened during the 24 hours from the arrival of the typhoon, then, I composed a track upon these materials.
The strong winds caused abrupt changes in the soundscape, hitting the surface of things outside. Rain washed over the streets, water flew rapidly, and insects seemed to respond to the surrounding noises with their singing.
This track was created as part of my study to understand how intensely humans and surrounding objects/beings are subjected to external natural forces. If you happen to be outside during a natural hazard, there is no way you can avoid being involved in it. Throughout human history, we have continuously tried to protect ourselves from the force of nature, but that is still an impossible task, and we always find ourselves vulnerable to it. In this work, I wanted to explore the theme of vulnerability of human existence within this world. Tufan means “rainstorm” or “flood’ in Turkish and it has its origin in Arabic, but similar words are found in many languages, including the Japanese “Taifu”.»

En 2019 se inició el proyecto Archivo Veintidós, un netlabel con un manifiesto claro, que buscaba desde su plataforma promover prácticas sonoras y música experimental al margen de la industria global. En los últimos 4 años, se han publicado 30 discos, entre compilados, LPs y EPs, de artistas provenientes de toda latinoamérica, además de algunas excepciones fuera de este continente. Actualmente, el Archivo busca infiltrarse poco a poco en las capas de las plataformas de streaming actuales, siempre defendiendo el espacio de libertad y gratuidad que entregan los demás soportes que utilizamos, evitando siempre depender de una sola entidad que aloje los archivos sonoros aquí presentados. Además, luego de la pandemia, buscamos generar nuevos espacios donde se recupere la presencia y reivindique la materialidad sonora más allá de lo digital.
En esta versión del compilado, recibimos trabajos de artistas de varios países, que habían publicado en el sello con anterioridad, y que trabajan hoy desde prácticas que transitan por el noise, el ambient, el paisaje sonoro, exploraciones vocales, uso de sintetizadores y guitarras distorsionadas, y todo el mapa posible de cruces que se podrían realizar entre estos formatos. Muchos de estos trabajos son inéditos, y son parte del ecosistema que ha tejido el Archivo a lo largo de este tiempo, y esperamos se siga fortaleciendo.

“PsychoActive Music For Experimental People”
I was digging in my hard drive then I found this track of incredibly sad music. If there was a contest like in Guy Maddin’s “The saddest music in the world” perhaps I should submit this track. To be clear, when you listen it there is something inside which grab your soul, and it’s nearly impossible to listen the whole without to burst in tears. Maybe if you have too much high expectations it will not work as well as with me, feeling like digging my own grave and it will sound more for you like a busker asking for a silver penny ? But you can believe me that if there is real ASMR music, that’s this really special kind of psycho-active music.
Thus, the artwork is mainly this equation (money+oil=world’s end) I don’t know from where come this sadness, but this could be the origin. Or more generally that despite we know the reason most of the time we are unable to avoid any cataclysm, instead it’s like we try to dive further into. This time in france it seems a lot of people realized this, because nearly all are struggling to get rid of a dictator apprentice, and would change this archaic system into something more accurate to the present time needs. I hope we will able to do this revolution and stick all together till find new ways to live and then to save the world of the climate disaster.
Last but not least, this is the first part of the trilogy “Under the ground, inside the flesh & over the sky” including, in second Häxan Cult and in third Remembering The Comet. And this episode more than the others is very close of CorteX project so if you want find something really nearby try “Undone Ceremony”.
Dedicated to those who know how to mend the broken hopes with gold.
Throughout the album, glitchy textures and unexpected audio artifacts will punctuate the music, creating a sense of disorientation and otherworldliness. The soundscapes are complex and intricate, with layers of glitchy percussion, warped synths, and distorted vocals, drawing on the legacy of electronic music pioneers while pushing the boundaries of what’s possible with modern technology. An immersive experience that will transport you to a world of glitchy beauty and electronic wonder with some retro vibes added for good measure.

In a quaint village nestled ‘neath the night’s embrace,
Where stars adorn the sky with celestial grace,
Cassiopeia’s queen, luminescent and bright,
Guides the way with her radiant light.
In the stillness of eve, a symphony unfolds,
Field recordings of nature, stories untold.
Whispers of wind through the towering trees,
Chorus of crickets, nature’s melodies.
The village sleeps, tranquil and serene,
As moonlight dances on meadows so green.
The night sky, a canvas painted with care,
Nature’s masterpiece, a vision so rare.
Embrace the serenity, let your spirit unfurl,
In this village where nature’s wonders swirl.
Beneath Cassiopeia’s gentle gaze, we find,
A haven of peace, a solace of mind.

“Witch house for Queer people”
Live improvisation recorded in April 2023. As you may notice, it’s a kind of alternative soundtrack for cult film Häxan by Benjamin Christensen…
You can watch on internet archive this version slightly enhanced with super 8 film here with William S. Burroughs voice https://archive.org/details/Haxan-akka-Witchcraft-Through-The-Ages-Benjamin-Christensen
Dedicated to all the witches & other outsiders killed through the ages by the undergods & conformists.
Last but not least, this is the second part of the trilogy “Under the ground, inside the flesh & over the sky” including, in third Remembering the comet and in first Music To Burst In Tears.
On the attack, not just the prowl – seizing initiative means going now. Strategic demands make us all follow through, yet strategy seems unexpected when new.
Featuring electric guitars, bass, drum kit, and synthesizer arpeggiation.

“Minimal Music for Serial Listeners”
This is the third part of the trilogy “Under the ground, inside the flesh & over the sky” including, in second Häxan Cult and in first Music To Burst In Tears. The tracks are really at the frontier between CorteX and Yoshiwaku.
Because I’m really fan of Terry Riley’s Serial Music the first 3 tracks are a blink eye to is “A Rainbow in Curved Air” album, but the music is not that much sounding like serialism, more the usual hypnotic improvised music I do.
Recorded between April and May 2023 at the Cave Haven In Foucherans.
Dedicated to all those who release free their dreams.
Building on the foundation established by their praised debut Pacification (Kamizdat, 2013), the diverse artists complement and upgrade the sounds of their upcoming new record with a live performance that reconceptualises their musical hybrid within the framework of intermedia and dance arts. Sensuality meets anger, passion cavorts intellectually with rebellion, yet at the same time, without endangering their own principles, the duo successfully follows the unwritten rule – this kind of music simply has to catch one’s ear willingly, sink in and touch the listener.
