Codes&Notes – Aftermath

Codes&Notes – Aftermath

Codes&Notes

“Aftermath”

This track has a story.

Initially, it was about managing to make a decent track out of a melody that had been playing in my head for… about 10 years. The first attempts were put together years ago using LMMS. They were not good at all: LMMS is great for certain things, but not as great for others. Then this year, when I rebuilt a decent studio setup and went back to Reaper, I gave another go at it and… oh joy! It started to sound decent.

So far I had a house-ish track with a vibe similar to those romantic french movies from the 70s and 80s. Those who grew up watching “La Boum” and such will know what I mean.
But then I stumbled upon a movie on archive.org called “My Man Godfrey”, a delightful romantic comedy from 1936 starring Carole Lombart and William Powell. The movie being Public Domain I thought it would be okay to sample dialogs from it and rearrange them to tell a slightly different story. I added them to the track and… a miracle! It sounded fantastic! I was in heaven!

Unfortunately (or maybe fortunately), I decided to be 100% sure and checked whether it was actually legal to sample a movie in the Public Domain and… I got serious doubts. From what I understand, the movie could still be copyrighted in other countries, or its soundtrack (or its written dialogs) might still be protected. The joys of the current copyright mess… The only way to be sure would be to ask a lawyer to check whether the sampling is legit as far as his knowledge goes.
Right.
This is exactly why I believe copyright has it sooo wrong.

So I decided not to take the risk. I do find the whole thing ridiculous, but I don’t want to create any sort of trouble to the kind hosters of my tunes so I did a version without the dialogs. This is why this release has only one single track: a “romantic”, instrumental house tune. A bit of a shame if you ask me, but better than nothing!

The good news is: the track is under CreativeCommons BY-SA 4.0, which is as permissive as it gets while respecting intellectual property. So share it, mix it, spread it as you wish. Just leave my name next to it ;-)

Sounds of Silence; Richard Bentley; François Dumeaux

“3pr(iii)8ses”

1- Sounds of Silence “Friendly Storm”
How to make a recording so that the whole body can hear it, a soundscape that passes its secrets from one body to another? Friendly Storm opens with a machine breath, passing voices, a river trek. Hydrophone instants and domestic reveries. The ghost dogs bark all night, while the storms blow in news from the North African coast sending passenger pigeons scurrying across the roof. Missives from the global village. Sealed with a stretched kiss of male harmony, offering a slower sound of silence. Recorded in Toronto (Canada) and Bocale (Italy) in 2019-2020.
mikehoolboom.com

2- Richard Bentley “Hedgehog Shelter”
The discovery of a hedgehog tormented by lungworm, wheezing, snorting and struggling for air, prompted a visit to the local rescue centre. The outing afforded me an opportunity to get close to the animals and their crunching, rustling and huffing. The recordings were made in August 2017 with assemblage by François-Emmanuel Fodéré in 2020. anoisysilence.com

3- François Dumeaux “Harmonikoak”
Paysage sonore enregistré en septembre 2017 en Basse-Navarre (Pays Basque nord) aux cabanes d’estive de Muskuldi, près de la forêt d’Irati.
Le vent joue avec un portail ; au loin le berger, mène son chien et son troupeau de brebis.

Oss

“Ola de Cristal Mixtape”

That imagery of flags fluttering in the wind as a sign of resistance and fight, takes real strength when you remain. The slogan is beautiful for an experimental and underground music label in Chile, but when it is done by publishing more than 160 titles from all over the world and during 15 years without interruption, I take a breath and shout: bravo!

A collage made with fragments taken from PN100 onwards to which are added recurring waves of masters Asuar, Becerra-Schmidt and Schumacher. A unique live take trying to represent the diverse and mixed ethos, but essentially the free spirit of this Pueblo Nuevo.

This no longer stops. Soon the silver wave and, afterwards, the golden wave.

Die Leere im Kern deiner Hoffnung – Es ist schwer ein Gott zu sein

Die Leere im Kern deiner Hoffnung – Es ist schwer ein Gott zu sein
[Wuerfel28]

Die Leere im Kern deiner Hoffnung

“Es ist schwer ein Gott zu sein”

The title of the album refers of course to the novel by the Strugatzki brothers. But it is also the expression of the desperate realisation that the world is probably unsavable. The problems are obvious, everybody knows everything, but nobody is willing to do anything.

We oscillate faster and faster between hysteria and agony, blind actionism and panic. And again and again we get fast and easy answers to complex questions with the certainty of a placebo.

Clicktivism as a digital balm for the poor afflicted souls. The mistaken belief that you can save the world through your consumerism.

We dream of electric sheep.
Technomagic thinking.
The illusion of freedom.
Welcome to the age of transfiguration.

We rather bear those ills we have than fight them.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims.

THE GOUP

“THE NOUP GORGE REMIXES”

岡山を中心に活動する3ピースバンド、THE NOUP。時に暴力的に時にミニマルにグルーヴを波打たせるドラムとベース、それに寄り添うように空間を切り裂くギターと電子音、そして艶めかしく絡みつくボーカル。
そのサウンドは、形容詞に収斂不可能な独創性で構築されており、「ロック」の歴史的な進化を独自の論理で仮想的に再現させたかのようである。その佇まい、そしてそのワイルドなリズムのあり方は、とにかく「ゴルい」。
そのあり方に共鳴したGORGEのトラックメーカーがアルバム『Flaming Psychic Heads』をリミックスしたのがこのアルバムである。
歴史的なミッシング・リンクとしてあり得たかもしれない「ゴルジェ・ロック」が目の前に現れたかのようなこのサウンドは、このコラボレーションでしか成立しない独自のロジカルでエモーショナルな美しさを持つ。

Fm Outt – Incomplete Kisses

Fm Outt – Incomplete Kisses
[ST018]

Fm Outt

“Incomplete Kisses”

Fm Outt is a romantic and a futuristic alter ego with a focus on the beautiful and the good of sadness.
This is music without reference to genre orientation, a rhythm cataloged or its complete absence.

Fm Outt try to write music from images, music for storytelling, music to reflect a calm environment.
He is inspired by his family. Watching his wife walk around the room, his daughter does her homework quietly and his son plays-I he makes compositions based on those feelings and moments, that is his inspiration.

He is inspired by the silence or lack of it.
He learned one simple thing from some people:
Everything is Sound…
Music is all around us the music is allways within us…

“Access Frame: Equity”

Kamizdat is proud to present a 2020 Netlabel Day release.

Access Frame: Equity is a compilation of 20 local electronic artists with many original works that span a wide spectrum of electronic music genres: from noise and sonic art, via bass, breaks, all the way to acid techno. The concept of the compilation is to bring attention to the conflict between necessity of free culture and enclosure of culture by copyright law. The conflict which is temporarily solved by Creative Commons licences.

Access Frame is a series of compilations of adventurous music published by Kamizdat under a Creative Commons licence on 14. July – International Netlabel Day. It tries to establish a practice of thinking critically about access to, and distribution of, art. It poses a question: what is the frame through which we are allowed, and able, to access culture? How is it created, by whom, and can such frame of access be modified and transgressed?

Review:

SMOK – Brain Damage

Who is behind this curious musical project called SMOK? It is a question I made to myself a couple of years ago after listening to a collab between Andrés and Nicolás (a.k.a Slang). Time has passed and I have discovered that this curiousity comes from Andrés, who is music studious and part of the new generation of producers from Quinta Región. Brain Damage is the result of his curiosity. Accelerated beats, bass drums, violent boxes and acid basses; a sharp chaos which is tidied up within mysterious and obscure melodies. An album that brings me back to the 90’s and spotting strong influences of the electro, such as Underground Resistance, Drexciya, Aux88, or Radioactive Man, among others. Nineties reminiscence that mixes technological advance and that succeeds in locating us nowadays, thus giving life to an album which treasures the origins of the electro-techno, but at the same time adapts perfectly to the present.

SMOK – Brain Damage

Quién está detrás de este curioso proyecto musical llamado SMOK? Es una pregunta que me hice hace un par de años después de escuchar una colaboración que hizo Andrés junto con Nicolás (a.k.a Slang). Pasado el tiempo, he descubierto que esa curiosidad es parte de Andrés; estudioso de la música y parte de la nueva generación de productores de la Quinta Región. Brain Damage es un resultado de su curiosidad. Ritmos acelerados, bombos y cajas violentas, bajos ácidos, un caos agudo que se ordena dentro de melodías misteriosas y oscuras. Un disco que me traslada a los noventas, reconociendo fuertes influencias del electro como Underground Resistance, Drexciya, Aux88 o Radioactive Man, entre otros. Reminiscencia noventera que combina un avance tecnológico logrando ubicarnos en la actualidad, dando así vida a un disco que valora los orígenes del electro-techno y que a la vez se adapta al presente.

“Elogio della follia”

It was a real treat for the new label administration when composer and fellow musicology graduate Slow Wave Sleep appeared out of the blue and gifted 20kbps with this beautiful song of his, which he had chiptune producers Megus and Tiasu arrange into two masterfully crafted versions. Built around a clear‑cut vocal line, sung in Italian in one of the two versions, this release is a strong example of netaudio as a melting pot for traditionally oriented composition and digital genres, producing alloys that can have intriguing properties.

Wankers United – Solo Romance
[dhr-46]

Wankers United

“Solo Romance”

Pour sa 46ème sortie, Da ! Heard It Records fait dans la haute fidélité.

Les années passent mais la passion reste : voilà ce que semble raconter Wankers United à travers Solo Romance, un nouvel album où l’Audonien continue de créer de belles histoires avec ses machines.

Deux ans après Polygon Soup (2018, Da ! Heard It), Thomas Lanza affirme encore un peu plus son amour pour les sonorités franches héritées de l’électro de Détroit. Ce laps de temps a permis à son funk robotique de prendre un peu de vitesse, de s’étoffer de multiples mélodies chaleureuses et de s’offrir un son plus épais, notamment grâce au travail de mastering réalisé par le Finlandais Mesak, compagnon de longue route du musicien.

Il faut dire que contrairement à ce que le titre de cette cassette laisse entendre, Thomas montre au fil des morceaux qu’il reste toujours bien entouré. Au-delà du portrait ornant la pochette dessinée par son ami marseillais Poborsk, ce faux solitaire prend ainsi plaisir à émailler le nom de chaque instrumental d’allusions à son entourage ou à d’autres bons souvenirs bien enfouis dans la bobine. L’ensemble, s’il laisse percevoir une petite pointe de nostalgie, n’est pas passéiste pour autant : il rappelle surtout à ceux qui l’écouteront tout le chemin parcouru par ce fin connaisseur de sonorités électroniques.
