“2022”

“2022”, the latest album from sternenspringer, marks the 20th anniversary of this multi-talented duo, a milestone that not only commemorates their past achievements, but also anticipates the future directions of their musical exploration.

but it is also a reflective endeavour in which gerd and jürgen present the essence of their artistic partnership and explore the dynamics that have defined their creative process over the years. “2022” is a testament to the duo’s ability to fuse their distinctive influences into a harmonious and compelling listening experience. and it documents their journey through the changes of the past two decades.

the year 2022 is representative of all the challenges and achievements they and we have gone through. this year serves as a canvas that encapsulates moments of turbulence and triumph both on a global scale and in everyone’s personal lives, inviting the listeners to immerse themselves in this narrative that is as introspective as it is expansive.

[pn229]

BraKhaGe

“Bocetos, Diarios y Sonidos 2”

Imaginemos un oído libre de las leyes de la perspectiva creadas por el hombre, un oído libre de prejuicios de la lógica compositiva, un oído que no responde al nombre de todo pero que debe conocer cada objeto que encuentra en la vida a través de una aventura de percepción. ¿Cuántos sonidos hay en un campo de hierba para que el bebé que gatea no se dé cuenta del sonido del “verde”? ¿Cuántos arcoíris puede crear la luz para el oído inexperto? ¿Qué tan consciente puede ser ese oído de las variaciones en las olas de calor? Imagine un mundo lleno de objetos incomprensibles y brillando con una infinita variedad de movimientos e innumerables gradaciones de color. Imaginemos un mundo antes de la palabra y el sonido, no para ser simplemente imitados, sino para combinarlos según nuestra fantasía. Nada es verdad, todo está permitido.

Imagine an ear free from the laws of perspective created by humans, an ear free from the prejudices of compositional logic, an ear that doesn’t respond to the name of everything but must know each object it encounters in life through a perception adventure. How many sounds are there in a field of grass for a crawling baby to be unaware of the sound of “green”? How many rainbows can light create for the inexperienced ear? How aware can that ear be of variations in heat waves? Imagine a world full of incomprehensible objects, shimmering with an infinite variety of movements and countless shades of color. Envision a world before words and sound, not to be merely imitated, but to be combined according to our fantasy. Nothing is true, everything is permitted.

Released January 27, 2024 as free (cc) digital download and special limited edition digipak CD.

Last July saw the release of “Spirit Guide” – a brilliant EP from Skyjelly out of Boston, Massachusetts, which was definitely one of 2023’s highlights in the music world! Now, in partnership with I Heart Noise (out of Boston too, who did the original release) and Wormhole World (UK) we’ve prepared an expanded rerelease foray, also bringing a sweet dejavu of collectible editions on CD!

Original can be found here

“Wandering vocals fall somewhere between David Byrne when he gets weird and David Bowie on a good day” – Dig Boston

“Makes me think of “My Life in the Bush of Ghosts” -Byrne/Eno Just as inventive. But its own entity. Somehow both catchy and experimental. Well done.” – Joe Imwalle (Aux Meadows)

All three expanded editions feature the 6 original EP tracks and additional 4 unreleased tracks from the “Spirit Guide” sessions.

ASI-3 – Altered States
[Nu-Logic098]

ASI-3

“Altered States”

It has been almost four years since our last release, and that’s why we are back with a very special release. Introducing ASI-3, a Spanish producer based in London, who presents to us, after releasing some singles in recent years, his first full-length release. “Altered States” is an album where the artist explores themes of anxiety, loneliness, fear, and rejection. Through sonic experimentation, ASI-3 employs his own field recordings captured in his daily life in a city that gradually engulfs you until you become a part of it without even realizing. These glimpses of a sonic diary are fused with passages of raw electronica and industrial textures, making “Altered States” a work that may require attentive listening but holds the promise of ultimate gratification or understanding. Electronic, IDM, Ambient, Techno — a full sonic palette at the disposal of an artist eager to shout to the world and with a strong determination to learn to live with his own demons. An intimate and complex listening experience that we at Nulogic Netlabel wholeheartedly recommend.

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the sonic journey of “The Virtual Bluescreen-Collar Choir”. This experimental music project delves into the realm of the surreal, where technology meets the nostalgia of a bygone era.

Inspired by the working men’s clubs of yesteryear, where camaraderie and community were forged through song, we have created a virtual choir that pays homage to these forgotten spaces. But here’s the twist – our choir consists solely of synthesized and re-synthesized voices, blending the past with the present in a futuristic soundscape.

As French philosopher Jean Baudrillard once said, “Simulation is no longer that of a territory, a referential being, but rather that of a code, a differential equation.” In this vein, The Virtual Workmen’s Choir challenges the notion of authenticity and questions whether technology can truly replicate the human experience.

Our soundscapes transport listeners to a world where the boundaries between reality and fantasy blur. Imagine strolling through a smoky, dimly-lit room filled with the echoes of laughter and chatter, only to find yourself enveloped by a cappella harmonies that seem almost otherworldly. That’s what you’ll encounter in our virtual choir, where the synthesized voices take on a life of their own.

But there’s also a hint of melancholy woven throughout our compositions. As German philosopher Martin Heidegger mused, “The essence of technology is by no means anything technological.” In simulating the voices of a lost community, we’re reminded that progress often comes at a cost. We ponder the price of innovation and ask: What do we sacrifice when we exchange the warmth of human connection for the convenience of digital reproduction?

And yet, within this dreamlike atmosphere, we discover a strange sort of beauty. Our virtual choir becomes a metaphor for the fragmented nature of modern society, where individuals come together virtually but remain disconnected physically. It’s a reflection of our times, where social media reigns supreme and online personas supplant face-to-face interactions.

So let us embrace the surrealism of The Virtual Bluescreen-Collar Choir, allowing ourselves to be enchanted by its haunting allure. Let us ponder the philosophical underpinnings that govern our relationship with technology and confront the existential queries it raises. For in doing so, we may just uncover hidden truths about ourselves and the world we inhabit. Thank you for joining us on this thought-provoking sonic adventure.

Doamnelor și domnilor, bine ați venit în călătoria sonoră a „The Virtual Bluescreen-Collar Choir”. Acest proiect muzical experimental sondează profund tărâmul suprarealismului, unde tehnologia întâlnește nostalgia unei epoci trecute.

Inspirați de cluburile de altădată ale bărbaților muncitori, unde camaraderia și comunitatea s-au făurit prin cântec, am creat un cor virtual care aduce un omagiu acestor spații uitate. Dar iată întorsătura – corul nostru este format numai din voci sintetizate și resintetizate, îmbinând trecutul cu prezentul într-un peisaj sonor futurist.

După cum spunea odată filosoful francez Jean Baudrillard, „Simularea nu mai este aceea a unui teritoriu, a unei ființe referențiale, ci mai degrabă cea a unui cod, a unei ecuații diferențiale”. În acest sens, Corul Muncitorilor Virtuali contestă noțiunea de autenticitate și chestionează dacă tehnologia poate reproduce cu adevărat experiența umană.

Peisajele noastre sonore transportă ascultătorii într-o lume în care granițele dintre realitate și fantezie se estompează. Imaginați-vă că vă plimbați printr-o cameră fumurie, slab luminată, plină de ecouri de râsete și vorbărie, doar pentru a vă regăsi învăluiți de armonii a capella care par aproape din altă lume. Asta veți întâlni în corul nostru virtual, unde vocile sintetizate capătă viață proprie.

Dar există și un indiciu de melancolie țesut în compozițiile noastre. Așa cum medita filozoful german Martin Heidegger, „Esența tehnologiei nu este în niciun caz ceva tehnologic”. În simularea vocilor unei comunități pierdute, ni se reamintește că progresul are adesea un cost. Reflectând la prețul inovației ne întrebăm: Ce sacrificăm atunci când schimbăm căldura conexiunii umane pentru comoditatea reproducerii digitale?

Și totuși, în această atmosferă de vis, descoperim un fel ciudat de frumusețe. Corul nostru virtual devine o metaforă a naturii fragmentate a societății moderne, în care indivizii se unesc virtual, dar rămân deconectați fizic. Este o reflectare a vremurilor noastre, în care rețelele sociale dețin supremația, iar personajele online înlocuiesc interacțiunile față în față.

Așa că haideți să îmbrățișăm suprarealismul Corului Virtual Bluescreen-Collar, lăsându-ne vrăjiți de farmecul său obsedant. Să reflectăm la fundamentele filozofice care guvernează relația noastră cu tehnologia și să ne confruntăm cu întrebările existențiale pe care le ridică. Căci, făcând acest lucru, este posibil să descoperim adevăruri ascunse despre noi înșine și despre lumea în care locuim.
Vă mulțumim că v-ați alăturat în această aventură sonoră care provoacă gândirea.

Takuro Takeda – ETHEREAL
[mi308]

Takuro Takeda

“ETHEREAL”

“Extremely light and delicate, as if not of this world” is the definition of Ethereal in the Online Cambridge dictionary.

On this record, electronics and field recordings intersect in a dialogue between the earthly and the ethereal.

There is something visceral in these sounds, in this combination of noises, organic and minimal sounds.

Halfway through the record we enter a hypnotic trance, we ascend to a place of peace and harmony and then, in go, we become irritable, disruptive and we come in direct confrontation with our brain.

xenoton – un

xenoton – un
[tonAtom.145]

xenoton

“un”

un’ is built on a linguistic motif, with each track’s title (whether in German or English) beginning with the prefix ‘un’, such as ‘unRest’, ‘unStet’, ‘unBalanced’, ‘unStern’ and ‘unErwartet’. the album’s structure allows each track to function independently, while collectively forming a narrative that is intricately detailed and gains depth with repeated listening.

musically, this album marks xenoton’s shift towards more ambient and cinematic soundscapes. while it may seem like a departure from previous work, it maintains continuity with his artistic journey. “un” continues to blend deep, reflective soundscapes with his signature melodic style. the album echoes his previous works ‘crescent’ (2020) and ‘traveller’ (2015), but also explores new sonic spaces, offering a sophisticated and layered listening experience, a journey into the unexpressed and undiscovered in sound.

Valentina Maza and Veronica Zondek – Cantos a la grieta encendida

Valentina Maza and Veronica Zondek – Cantos a la grieta encendida
[pn227]

Valentina Maza and Veronica Zondek

“Cantos a la grieta encendida”

The story of Vagido, the poetry book by Verónica Zondek, is intense and extensive. The first publication in 1990 (Ediciones Embalaje, Colombia) took its author by surprise. The second edition appeared the following year at Editorial Último Reino in Buenos Aires. It wasn’t until 2014 that we encountered it in Chile, thanks to Alquimia Ediciones, in a special release that included a new poem, a work of poetic art, fragments of interviews, and critical texts. A perfect box set, as we might call it in musical terms.

Some of these texts are heard in Cantos a la grieta encendida, ), this album published by Pueblo Nuevo, a label that, while offering its productions for digital download, takes care to surround the music with reviews, credits, and artwork, all those elements that belonged to the album covers of our cassettes and CDs and that have now disappeared inside streaming lists. Thanks to this information, then, we can learn in more detail that, in addition to Verónica Zondek‘s poems, Valentina Maza composed, produced, interpreted the machines and violas, and participated in the mixing. A mix, by the way, in which the author’s voice is predominantly in the foreground most of the time.

In the epilogue to the second edition of Vagido, María Teresa Adriasola (Elvira Hernández) warned of “the phonic redundancy of this poetry (internal rhymes, alliterations, assonances, annomination, etc.), repetitions that also extend in words, verses, without harmonizing. These sounds, producers of a concert of disconcerting internal echoes, beats, clatter, are relentless, and their discord is part of the anguishing migraine that surrounds childbirth and the wails of the newborn.” It is very valuable to read this description in light of the interpretation that unfolds here: fragmented words, detached from their pronouns, where some playful acts stand out, like the “T” of the first track (which, as noted in a footnote of the book, refers to both the dative condition and the “T” of the intrauterine device, as well as the first letter of the name Tamara and “anything else that can be attributed to the sound of that letter that drumrolls and makes itself present”). These repetitions remain rooted in a constant rhythm, where the anxiety of the pulsations that are piling up is perceived.

“She found the rhythm”, Verónica tells me about the music that Valentina Maza created after recording her voice. And she has also created a completely different dimension. If we imagine the interior space as a flow of slow and muted sounds, here the exterior emerges, and we can hear birds, winds, stars, galactic explosions, as real as unreal, populating an immense landscape. A symbol comes to mind, the mandorla, wherein the superimposition of two circles produces an almond shape that, as Juan Eduardo Cirlot explains, represents the “union, the zone of intersection and interpretation” of the upper and lower worlds, of heaven and earth, and also represents “the perpetual sacrifice that renews creative force through the double current of ascent and descent (appearance, life and death, evolution and involution”.

I believe I have heard something of that sacrificial character in some specific moments where the scraping on the viola’s strings sounds with clear definition, those strings that must be sufficiently tense to vibrate. Perhaps in this we can find the point of greatest connection between Valentina Maza ‘s music and Verónica Zondek‘s poetry, for whom the word “must sometimes twist to find the way it returns to be charged with meaning. (…) Poetry estranges the word from its natural habitat to make it speak. The poetic word stretches an unquestioned reality.” Let’s adjust our eyes, our ears, and our bodies to vibrate in sympathy with that same tension.

“Povestea mea 2 (Original Music by Makunouchi Bento)”

The original soundtrack we made for Reniform’s “Povestea mea 2” / “My Story 2”.
These are not songs, but background sonic illustrations, meant to play along with AR 3D animations and people telling their stories. Normally, they are designed to play continuously: there are 3 looped audio tracks, of different length, for each “song” – when played together, the overall sense of repetition is less obvious.
Here you can listen to short, ~2m rendered demos. We strongly advise you to download the album, find the 9 images included in the archive, install the Reniform app on your smartphone and use it to see the whole thing. The texts / vocal tracks are Romanian only.

“Slow Movement”

Julian’s slow and cinematic debut EP eases the senses while taking you back to a time when things were easier and the world was a cozy and loving place.

The EP contains a lot of laid back tunes with minimal drumming, accompanied by a wide range of enviromental foley sounds, which even further give the impression of travelling through the memories of things that once were.

Alltogether a great EP for either listening or for use under video productions.

Jayson Hernandez – Flayte Neo Sur

Jayson Hernandez – Flayte Neo Sur
[pn226]

Jayson Hernandez

“Flayte Neo Sur”

“Flayte Neo Sur” summarizes the methodologies of 10 years of sound composition for performing arts by the composer Jayson Hernández (1992). The main inspiration for this work is the collaboration with five electroacoustic composers: Valentina Aguilera, Ariel Fernández, Matias Alarcón, Antonia Valladares and José Miguel Candela, who, in a featuring capacity, contribute to the composition of the album.

The album comprises 5 pieces, each of which is infused with elements inspired by Granja Sur, multifocality, and the re-signification of a territory that emerged post-dictatorship in Chile, located in the southern outskirts of the capital. Each piece is associated with an aphorism proposed by the composer. The invitation was to improvise in an electroacoustic key and then compose based on this experience, induced through a somatic practice that allowed a connection with the archives and repertoires of the geography.

Inspired by observation and recording, the album seeks to challenge the concept of the periphery from a political perspective. Its primary influences are local artists from the southern area of the capital, such as muralist Oficio Erico and the UFO Group, poet Juan Carreño and the Vlop Cinema Collective. The album also reflects on aesthetic experiences in peripheral territories, particularly in Granja Sur and its surroundings, where the composer gathers local testimonies and symbols as elements that shape the soundscapes of the compositions.

“Reckoning (Creation)”

released November 2, 2023

sevensy (aka Austin Brooks) creates music that directly facilitates imaginal sojourns, wherein the message is the sound itself. sevensy mixes electronic and natural sounds with processed guitars and acoustic instruments and has released his music with Mahorka from the time of the label’s inception.

His musical themes ‘unfold into an unusual landscape’ so that it is often impossible to tell where one ends and another begins.

“Form emerges, as fragile as a snowdrop’s blossom, as solid as a mountain, then recedes and is transformed. Awareness witnesses the interplay of all things. “Reckoning (creation)” aims to musically depict this metamorphosis. Acoustic or treated electric guitar forms the basis of every piece, though this may not be evident upon first listening. Layers of synthesisers and bass are interwoven with fragments of melodies that coalesce and dissolve.”

“Attack, Decay”

Wires, knobs, keys, a modular synth rack. Jonny3snareS’ twisted, plugged, pressed his home studio equipment to birth eight braindance tracks in the style of the greats – as one residing in Cornwall should. A blizzard of acid bleeps and blips, pounding drum patterns, good vibrations and a touch of melancholy; a mixture wonderfully crafted for ravers and couch listeners alike. Attack, Decay is just that: it punches your eardrums and dance buttons with shrapnel synth shot and rhythms on one track, then turns things around with nostalgic melodies and more laid-back beats.

Released 17. Oktober 2020
