A man forever alters his life by purposely hitting a pedestrian with his car, spiraling out of control with a warping definition of vengeance.
Bludgeon is a tale of descent, delusion, viscera, and vulnerability.

Member of the band Blue Haired Girl, which supported him in the recording of this first solo effort touched by a similar spirit of musical nomadism, Hideor Tild started “Home Directory”, published by IRM Netlabel and Les Disques Normal, with songs composed on his acoustic guitar.
From that breadcrumb’s thread and without losing any of this initial spontaneity, the French musician has woven unique and varied atmospheres, mixing pastoral ballads and electrified cavalcades, western folk elements and instruments from Africa and Asia (from Mali to Uzbekistan), intoxicating strings and percussions of all kinds, hints of electronic music and unusual sounds ranging from vocoder to drum machines through field recordings and mystical chants coming from multiple geographical origins : voices from Mexico to Japan, Touvain and Inuit songs, etc.
As a result, the mostly instrumental “Home Directory” is an album filled with spirituality that invites you to travel far but also to make your own inner journey, summoning previous adventurers of acoustic guitars such as Mice Parade, Gustavo Santaolalla, Ry Cooder or Tunng’s early records.

For the release of our first Queensland-based artist, we are stoked for CVU008 to have come from a connoisseur of all things electronic, and burgeoning producer, dj, and programmer: 88756.
88756’s multidisciplinary, focused approach to music and art has seen a torrent of releases since 2019, almost always accompanied by imagery generated through an automated video generator that was written in python. Concurrently, this approach has honed a certain sonic precision that is ever present in these tracks; everything from oldschool electro to modern polyrhythmic madness.
On remix duties – Olympic Pool Maintenance League, another one to watch in Brisbane – takes us through a mind-altering remix of Self, one that churns and wavers through a broken soundscape.
As always CVU008 is free to download straight from Soundcloud. All Australian music, all the time. We’ll also have some videos generated by 88756 and their python script coming soon.

The Portuguese netlabel Green Field Recordings joins, for the 11th year, the World Listening Project, through World Listening Day, with another field recording sound compilation, under the theme “The Unquiet Earth”. Thanks to all sound artists that participate in this special edition.
“Fame is an Addiction” sounds like a cassette you found while walking on the beach, half burried in the sand, case slightly warped by the heat of the sun, little pebbles and bits of seashells embedded inside, tape loose and almost melted. You rescue it, clean it up, spool it in, and when you play it you discover that the noise of the sea waves somehow got imprinted onto it and melded with the music.
Every tune is deep within its own comfortable bed of noise, each sound treading through thick viscous aural quicksand, beats pop in from behind lush canopies of strings and pads, flocks of melodies swirl above, clouds of frequencies cast their shadows on top of everything else and the place becomes that bit cooler. Every tune does paint a scenery indeed, each is really alike a place you inhabit for a few minutes. They all feel tangible and expansive, they welcome roaming and exploration, so much is happening there, so much to see/hear/feel, so much to discover each time you return.
It all sounds old and fresh, damaged yet fully contained, at the verge of collapse yet tightly controlled. There is certainly a story being told in this music, but it’s a different story for each different listener. It’s the kind of music that burrows in and pulls out of you as much as it brings and it’s that mix of the internal and the external, right here and right now, that makes it an entirely personal experience.

“ARS CONTEMPORANEA”
1 Fernando Curiel “Vectores Mágicos 3”
2 Eduardo Wilde “Trío para oboe, clarinete y piano”
3 Damián Ratto “Hitherto”
4 Néstor Ciravolo “La permeabilidad del tiempo”
Los compositores Fernando Curiel, Eduardo Wilde, Damián Ratto y Néstor Ciravolo son, a día de hoy, los integrantes de la asociación musical argentina sin ánimo de lucro Ars Contemporanea, que promueve y difunde obras de autores locales y del exterior.
En nuestra primera aproximación a esta asociación desde el sello Fortín Artesonoro, hemos querido dar muestra de su faceta acústica instrumental, reuniendo cuatro obras, una por cada uno de los miembros. Damos lugar, de este modo también, a la primera referencia con obras exclusivamente acústicas en nuestro sello. Una selección de obras en las que intervienen la flauta travesera solista, un trío para oboe, clarinete y piano, el violonchelo solista, y un cuarteto de viento madera (flauta travesera, oboe, clarinete y fagot) y que tiene una muy bella y elegante expresividad tímbrica e interpretativa, ofreciendo un repertorio especialmente emocionante y cuidado, y que tiene también el atractivo de una concepción en la que la energía de cada gesto de los intérpretes es correlativa a una energía sonora musical a través del instrumento, sin otros ingredientes.
A Netlabel Day 2021 Exclusive
Inspired by The Caretaker, Azerty returns more subdued than their previous outing, but with a sound drenched in the pure melancholia and static of anxiety; from a tattered amp the waves reverberate on a stranger’s bare floorboards and crumbling ceramic tiles.
MUSIC FOR PEOPLE WITH NO WORK, FAMILY OR INTERNET
“A collection of pieces from the last 10 years gathered around the idea of listening as a state of trance. Listening without distraction, without measuring time, without hurry. Clearing the mind, a bit of melancholy, an endless loop, a hovering thought, urban meditation somewhere in the suburbs. Instead of TV, instead of a smartphone: “I have to do something, I have to be somewhere”. Slow listening, room for feelings.”

Brain factory in Metropolis.
Lofi plough and extended lunch break.
The supervisor bends his head, and bangs.
From Dresden’s electronica underground comes Plutonien and ploughs our brain walls with experimental-beat-heavy lofi art, most of which was produced using Sunvox, which is of course great. Head banging is allowed, even dancing is possible with some of the tunes. The artist of the project Plutonien has a liking for all arts, art history, but also for more or less strange human creations of all kinds. The openness and at the same time strictness associated with this is easy to hear in the tunes. The sounds are not charming at all, more like sitting in the middle of a mechanical clockwork, listening to and watching its production. The big machine is rolling. And it is not soothing but, to put it mildly, revealing.
This is the first time we have re-released a musical work that was already published under Creative Commons before. With a licence that is given and somewhat different from our standard licence.
Basically, a re-release of CC music is possible at any time. In the context of attention islands in media oceans, this somehow also makes additional sense.
It also makes sense from a long-term perspective, because digital releases are much more ephemeral than, for example, records and CDs that are still traded.
>From the time of the beginnings of music publication on the net, almost none of the hundreds of labels are active or accessible any more.
Archive.org is of course a wonderful implementation, especially thanks to Simon von Monotonik, who recognised the potential early on and built the bridge between the netlabels and archive.org.
The contact to Plutonien was established via Rajko, thanks.

Dj Malaït is a Russian producer based in Barcelona. Better known as ZebaKnizel for his work in the offline meeting point collective, where he releases most of his tracks.
He has performed (and still does) alongside several bands of different genres, but his interest in electronic music grew a lot in the last two years and currently he’s fascinated with experimenting and mixing different patterns and genres. His style is influenced by IDM artists, poly rhythms, and wandering harmonies.
This particular release was created with the intention of mixing all sorts of latin percussion vibes, adding some more electronic elements, and some rhythm complications that might make the listener count each beat before dancing confidently.
