Invisible Illusion – Thee Mystery Unveiled

Invisible Illusion – Thee Mystery Unveiled
[LCNLP147]

Invisible Illusion

“Thee Mystery Unveiled”

The Necrophile Hummingbird Netlabel presents Thee Mystery Unveiled by Invisible Illusion.
“Esoteric Music for Illuminated People”.

About the surface of this album :

“What the caterpillar calls the end, the rest of the world calls a butterfly.” (Fake Lao Tzu quote, which might come from Chuang Tzu talking about the transformation of things )
Unthinkable, like in the psychedelic experience when you touch something and are unable to be bring it back in human consciousness, letting us with the question : from where this is coming ?
Indeed, the trademark of this netlabel…
Really the fruit of many changes. Another Invisible Illusion’s album more noise was planned to be release first but it’s now in standby, maybe because it’s too long for my actual tastes. Also, because despite there is a plan I try my best to learn and it seems the split form of the two first albums is not so relevant. Finally, I prefer the form we used with the two sides of Beyond Magick Dreams A-Side & B-Side by Multiple Personality 3 for example. This record could sounds like the right next after OVER CAN, but in fact it’s the opposite, we achieved it just before to worked out OVER CAN.
So, don’t be surprise if the borderline between Invisible Illusion and Pirate Tapes is actually very thin : it’s a collaboration with Studio 112.

About the depths of this album :

Perhaps I could talk about the super ego in Isis Unveiled by H.P Blavatsky. And so explain that the mysterious signal, that many sensitive persons or precogs, like would say Philip K. Dick, is only coming from another part of each one hidden beyond a veil. Because of the latency, some do not understand that it creates a kind of reflection of our acts. So if instead to use it like any feedback system, we try to follow these orders we just get insane, the same way that someone looking into the mirror will fall into a mise en abîme…
I could…
But I may already talked about it in the presentation of the Necktar 2017 v2 related to this book… or somewhere else. And it’s definitively better to understand it by yourself than to read it from someone else.
If not, at that point you could feel close to face a magician showing his tricks…
What’s the point to live, if we can’t experiment by ourself ?

Good listen & thanks a lot for the support.
Love+Share+DIY

Special thoughts to someone very dear to my friend Studio 112.

Dedicated to everyone aware that despite trying to live without any veils, behind each one there is another one, only invisible at this point. May the sūtra of the diamond be a blessing to advance in your quest.

Palancar – Aliquid Ex Nihilo

Palancar – Aliquid Ex Nihilo

Palancar

“Aliquid Ex Nihilo”

Most scientists today believe in reductionism, a principle that says all phenomena in nature can ultimately be reduced to just two physical theories: general relativity and the standard model.

Another way of saying this, perhaps more interestingly, is that all phenomena we see in the macro world around us are derived from uncountable (but finite) numbers of fundamental interactions that together add up to results of amazing complexity and intricacy — results that seem impossible given how elementary are the fundamental interactions.

Scientists call this sort of thing “emergent phenomena”, the situation when an entity has properties its component parts do not have on their own. Everything we see around us, including life and consciousness, happens as a side effect from vast numbers of fundamental interactions, all taking place simultaneously and purely by accident. I’m no deist, but this state of affairs feels to me uncomfortably like magic. My thoughts as I write these words are just physical accidents derived from all the known physics churning inside me? Untenable. There has to be more to the story than that.

For this reason, emergence in nature has always fascinated me. I’ve long felt there is something profound lurking in emergence that our science and philosopy today do not yet understand. Why does the random statistical behavior of a sea of particles add up to life and sentience, and not just some bland featureless noise? And where did music come from in all this miraculous emergence?

This is precisely what I am studying in the method for this album. What happens when I stochastically combine musical phrases and ideas that are themselves self-generated? Will emergence occur? Or will I end up with bland featureless noise?

The rules for the method are simple: 1). constrain myself to (virtual) analog modular synthesis; 2). construct generative musical phrases in isolation of each other that share only a few basic properties; 3) combine these phrases stochastically; and finally 4). orchestrate the results so there is a human element involved and the results feel intentional. The hope is that with this method I can construct music that is only partially of my own creation, that somehow enlists the help of emergence, so that nature itself is also helping to construct the music.

That’s the idea, anyway.

Did I succeed in causing emergence to spontaneously occur? Well, I don’t know about all that, but I can say that I enjoyed the method and will certainly continue to explore the world of generative music. I find the results worthwhile, and so I thought I should share the music with you, the listener, so you can form your own opinions about whether nature intervened to create listenable music.

So I am happy to unveil my latest release, called “Aliquid Ex Nihilo”, which is Latin for “something out of nothing”. Did I create something or did I create nothing? You be the judge. I’m just here having fun and loving the process.

Jorge Grela – SCRUM

Jorge Grela – SCRUM
[pn204]

Jorge Grela

“SCRUM”

Dance and music since prehistoric times have developed hand in hand as a form of ritual, and it is from this bodily connection that music becomes so decisive in many dance works. Jorge Grela from Argentina, is the musician who scored part of the dance work “Manada” by Julieta Rodríguez Grumberg, which premiered virtually in 2021 in Buenos Aires. The sound result is compiled in the 4 track EP “SCRUM”, composed completely for corporal movement, with ambient rhythms that will delight us, making us participants in a flock, in a very profound auditory experience that proceeds from evolution to resistance, with musical arrangements of voices, guitars, bass, drums and synthesizers, passing through instrumental music to electronic music, which will undoubtedly make us feel the dance in our ears.

Oberlin – Dymaxion Variations

Oberlin – Dymaxion Variations
[mhrk304]

Oberlin

“Dymaxion Variations”

“Imagine yourself having the chance to take a ride in Richard Buckminster-Fuller´s fully developed Dymaxion-car and float ergonomically and ecologically through every imaginable landscape. What music would you like to hear in it? This was the question i asked myself one day and these 4 tracks are the answer to it. I thought I´d like something floating, developing very slowly and droning very softly as I am gliding slowly though any given landscape. So this EP is dedicated to Buckminster-Fuller and I hope you like the drift.”

Released April 19, 2022 as free (cc) digital download and limited edition cassette tape.

The album was recorded by Alexander Holtz with a eurorack-synthesizer and an electric guitar in his homestudio in Koblenz, Germany during the winter of early 2021.

Ok, so this is my first EP. It was all recorded with a shitty condenser mic and a cheap Behringer audio interface. I just wanted to finally publish something to just add to the world, even if it’s mediocre teenager music.

Huge thanks to daffon, aze, daniel, jackie, wiz and pretty much everyone that has supported me while making this little thing.

Reeder – It Is The Nature Of Dreams To End (Anniversary Remaster)

Reeder – It Is The Nature Of Dreams To End (Anniversary Remaster)

Reeder

“It Is The Nature Of Dreams To End (Anniversary Remaster)”

Notes On The Artwork:

As you’ll read below, the original name and artwork of this album came at a pessimistic time of my life. Five years later, I decided that the whale deserves another chance to fly.

~~

A Letter From The Composer:

After a decade of making music I didn’t think I’d write another album after this one. At least, not publicly.

In 2017 I was kinda miserable. It was my first year as a full time teacher, which was a source of an incredible amount of stress. I was living on my own for the first time, making just enough to pay rent and my bills, in a tiny little apartment I have since come to refer to as “the shoe box”.

The thing with teaching is that it largely obliterates your spare time, if you let it – and gosh was I letting it. I didn’t foresee a future where I could continue doing that work and also have music as a quasi-professional pursuit on the side. There simply wasn’t enough time.

To quote a certain supernatural whale in a video game…

So I went about figuring out what an album would look like. I’d only written one in the past – a daft little thing called Wednesday I wrote when I was an even more miserable university student who’d just discovered brickwall limiting and was listening to too much Ben Folds. I thought if I was going to stop I should at least stop on my own terms and put a capstone on the whole thing. I reinterpreted and renamed some older pieces (Time, Relic, Home, Owl Temple, Theme For A Friend) and wrote some new ones (Farewell, Castle Gate) and also for good measure snuck in that one piece of mine that had actually got any traction. We all know the one and why. I packaged it all up with a collage of public domain images, put it out into the universe, and stepped back satisfied that it was over.

That didn’t work out, did it?

2022 marks a decade of being Reeder, and five years since this record, so I thought I’d finally get around to mastering it. I kinda skipped that part the first time around because I didn’t really think anybody would listen and people mystify the mastering process so much that I thought I wouldn’t be able to do it justice. Now, with five more years of production experience behind me, I finally feel confident enough to go back in and finish Dreams.

I am unfathomably grateful that this music has reached the number of people that it has, and continues to. I’m thrilled that it has found people’s hearts the way I had only dreamed it would. That this only happened because of a wild stroke of luck and one person with a large audience is not beyond me.

Thank you to everybody who listened, and a special thank you to everybody who hung around. I can’t wait to see what I’m gonna make in the next decade. I hope it’s good.

88756 – TOOLKIT II

88756 – TOOLKIT II

88756

“TOOLKIT II”

Twelve moons following the initial provision of it’s stripped-back techno tooling, the 88756 project returns with a sequel. As far as we’re concerned, an upgrade – the manual coercion of it’s output towards this overly hypnotic, functional sound is proving easier with each release.

Limbo in both name and nature, the opening track; a relentless polyrhythmic whirlpool of sound and 909s; has been stuck in the release backlog for a considerable time now, and is finally making it’s way out of the project’s DJ sets and into your gleeful little hands. The Void tells the story of a solitary synth line caught up in the perpetuity of existence, whilst Space Whirlpool swirls in a smug, self-satisfactory manner. Latent Reality is, to the best of our knowledge, a genuine attempt at interplanetary communication, and finally, Come Get It closes out the extended EP with an invitation of physical violence.

As always, these mechanical outputs are free to download straight from Bandcamp. Your support keeps us safe, and additional commentary is welcomed.

[BSOG0116]

Fields Ohio

“Neopagans”

Today we’re incredibly thrilled to be able to bring you new music by the intriguing and talented Fields Ohio, the long distance collaboration of Christine Annarino in Ohio and Eddie Palmer in New York. Their sound can best be described as trip-noire, consisting of lofi beats, banjo, ukulele, guitar, bass, percussion, synths & keys. Over the past 9 plus years, they’ve released ten albums packed with hypnotic and funky sonic adventures and now they bring blocSonic listeners new music!

With the new album “Neopagans”, Fields Ohio had so much in them to get out that they ended up with two albums worth of material ready to go. That’s right, twenty-six tracks and none of it filler. This is both moody and funky music that you’ll likely play all day in loop mode. Enjoy.

Hey Christine and Eddie, thank you both for allowing blocSonic to release such a fantastic release! Oh… Christine, welcome to the blocSonic family!

Of course, thanks once again to you for downloading & listening. We always strive to deliver the music you’ll love. Please spread the word about blocSonic, if you enjoy what we do.

Jenn Kirby – Ravel

Jenn Kirby – Ravel
[pyr315]

Jenn Kirby

“Ravel”

This album explores different aspects of the manipulation of time. I have been asking myself how the digital results of manipulating time relate to my perception of time in the physical world. Having become comfortable watching videos at 2x speed, I recently found myself wanting to 2x a video call. In that moment, getting the information in real-time seemed inefficient. I wondered if I saw efficiency as simply squashing as much as possible into as little time as possible, and what does that mean for making and experiencing music.

I chop up the sounds as I chop up my time – squashing some meaningful moments and escaping from time through rituals of repetition. I enjoy the frantic sound of fighting time, but I am equally interested in the moments of surrender.

I wanted to create and experience music in different time scales. While there is no auditory container for sound, there is a time frame. We have physical limitations to how we can perceive music as the perception of sound is directly linked to time.

The artefacts that are produced from extended time-stretching are processed further to create textures and glitches. The results appear to me as fragments that suggest something lost or something found. Through a collapsing, expanding and ravelling of information, something new is created. It is not simply the same thing played fast or slow, but a new ‘thing’ that is very different to the original source, though still connected to it.

All these tracks began as improvisations. There are no restrictions to the processing and production, except that nothing gets redone. There is some quality in the spontaneity that I want to preserve. Though the material is shaped and transformed in many ways, it has an origin that is connected to a time, place and emotion.
