Duelling Ants – Random Gestures
Duelling Ants
“Random Gestures”
Random Gestures is an exploration of organic and spacial textures emerging from controlled and uncontrolled (random) processes. Soundscapes are «carved» out of landscapes of field recordings and sonic textures, with asynchronus parts and overdubs that creates micro melodies and unexpected bits. Improvisation with piano and acoustic guitar.
Tracks were recorded in 2019 using tape and tape loops on Tascam 414 mkII and Marantz pmd221, OP-1, Organelle, VCV Rack, Ableton and Max For Live, Avalanche Run, guitar, piano (Labs and Lekko) and field recordings.
The album is mastered by myself at a very basic level, so please listen on a good stereo or on decent headphones.
Thanks for listening !

Monkeeastronaut – The Jungle Within
[SR218]
Monkeeastronaut
“The Jungle Within”
Monkeeastronaut is a solo project of the Italian musician Riccardo Occhionero. The purpose is to bring an experimental mixture of soundscapes trying to evoke for the listener a sense of bewilderment, fear and astonishment, just like a monkey could feel travelling through space. Basically it’s an attempt to explore how human curiosity and arrogance can generate forms of evil that are against the nature of things, using innocent living forms as oblivious witnesses of the utopistic reach of a knowledge that is far beyond the present step in evolution. Oh and there’s some random improvisation as well.
“Beware the beast Man, for he is the Devil’s pawn. Alone among God’s primates, he kills for sport or lust or greed. Yea, he will murder his brother to possess his brother’s land. Let him not breed in great numbers, for he will make a desert of his home and yours. Shun him; drive him back into his jungle lair, for he is the harbinger of death.”
(Planet Of The Apes – 1968)

Terranigma – HydroZone EP
[KAM043]
Terranigma
“HydroZone EP”
Slovenian producer meets Drexciya’s aesthetics on a new electro-tech EP.
After many long years of steady growth as a DJ, selector, and electronic producer, the Ljubljana-based Črt Trkman alias Terranigma has taken another important step to becoming one of the most interesting electronic producers in the region. Kamizdat is proud to present HydroZone EP, Terranigma’s second 3-track release, with which Terranigma has taken form and at the same time become a mystery, an enigma.
As an attentive listener, Trkman went through a significant change over the past years, working as a sound technician in Ljubljana’s main electronic venue, Klub K4. His first recognisable moniker was Freeverse and he was one of the first DJs to introduce UK bass and trap derivations. But in 2017, he turned to his roots – to jungle, acid, electro – and started reperceiving the music of his youth under the pseudonym Terranigma.
Terranigma first got noticed for his tracks on two compilations of local electronic music in 2017 and 2018, but it was not until Booster Pack EP (released in March 2019 at Kamizdat) that he started attracting wider attention. The EP was a tribute to adolescence, which caught the careless joy of opening booster packs, the naïve shine of an honest, although commercial surprise.
In a very important year that followed, Terranigma found the foundations, the imagery, the sound he feels comfortable with, and released HydroZone EP. The three songs on the EP show the growing maturity of his sound and the spectrum of what Terranigma is all about right now. The opener Dark Fin strengthens discreet flirtation with Drexciya’s immersive aesthetics, the late night club hazes, and the forward-pushing electro rhythms. The transition from digital to digital-analogue gear is perhaps most clearly heard on the second track, Deep Sea Oddities, where Terranigma shows a new approach to music-making and his hidden potentials. But perhaps saving the best for last: there is the title song Hydrozone with a twist: soft-ambient evolution with a seemingly long fade out for the end of this short-and-sweet EP.
With HydroZone EP, Terranigma is creating his own space, his sound territory, a place where he is most comfortable at. Although clearly envisioning a toxic-water world, embraced also by the cover art by visual artist 5237, his approach is not straightforward. On HydroZone EP, he highlights the possibilities of techno-inspired electro, from club bangers to goosebumped pleasers. The rawness and the broadness.

Special Request – Zero Fucks
Special Request
“Zero Fucks”
Special Request drops the fourth and final album of 2019. Concentrating purely on the heavyweight original hardcore ethos of taking whatever you want from anywhere, these tracks are made for shelling down dances and losing your marbles.
Those who have been paying close attention will recognise the face-melting drum treatments from those instagram clips, constructed using purpose-built equipment and a healthy amount of irreverence.
Elsewhere we find clock mechanisms worked into the layers of various tracks, the voices of Francis Bacon, David Lynch and others & eventually one such clock speeding up to oblivion, merely hinting at where Special Request is taking you next…
Vinyl editions to follow in 2020 and will be released and deleted on the same day. Pay 0.00 for these downloads. Enjoy life.

Cyff Gwawd – Cyff Gwawd
Cyff Gwawd
“Cyff Gwawd”
Cyff Gwawd is Stuart Estell, a piano, and a couple of barely-functional tape machines. The project draws on his love of Satie, Cage, Feldman and Basinski while also being a logical step from his compositions for drone/doom tuba outfit ORE, which he left in 2014. Cyff Gwawd is named in tribute to Mark Hollis. It means “Laughing Stock” in Welsh.
The pieces on this release started as miniatures, some of the material freely composed, and some of it restricted to sets of just four pitch classes. In performance, however, they took on a life of their own and didn’t seem to want to be constrained to what had been written down — resulting in what might be better described as planned improvisations.
The same side of the same C90 — an old and far-from-clean TDK SA90, naturally — was used to record all four pieces. The older cassette machine’s completely unreliable motor and faulty tape head resulted in some happy accidents (speed changes, incomplete erasure) that would be impossible to reproduce. Apart from EQ, some additional reverb and the occasional overlaying of additional tracks (from the same source material), the only editing here has been structural. Other than that, what you hear is how it… more

Ethernet Orchestra – Oceans between Sound
[pn150]
Ethernet Orchestra
“Oceans between Sound”
REVIEW / RESEÑA
Oceans between Sound is a selection of live improvisations by the internet based music ensemble, Ethernet Orchestra. The album was recorded during located venue performances and online sessions between 2014-2019, featuring musicians from a diverse range of cultures, performing across international time-zones and physical locations in Brazil, the USA, Canada, UK, Germany and Australia. The music was inspired by the ebb and flow of network data as a metaphor for the world’s oceans and waterways separating the members of the ensemble, and their geographically dispersed lives.
Oceans between Sound includes performances by internationally acclaimed improvisers such as guitarist Chris Vine, best known for his work with the British post punk band Blurt (Factory Records), and Elliott Sharp and Bob Boilen in the downtown music scenes of New York and Washington D.C. The ensemble founder, trumpeter Roger Mills, came to prominence during the 1990s with his work with the Bristol-based free jazz ensemble Space Ways and the trip-hop collective Statik Sound System (Cup of Tea Records). Performing on many of the tracks is the UK based free improviser Hervé Perez, acclaimed German pianist Holger Deuter, as well as world-renowned Moorin Khuur player and throat singer, Bukhchuluun Ganburged. The album also features a performance by the late Richard Lainhart, who worked and performed with John Cage, David Tudor, Steve Reich, Phill Niblock, David Berhman, and Rhys Chatham. His musical contributions to Seymareh ensure his presence continues to live on in our music.
A salient characteristic of the recordings on Oceans between Sound is how they reflect the materiality of the telematic performance medium. Musical sound travels through multiple networks, and is subject to a variety of operational conditions, latency, speeds, compression, and jitter. These phenomena imprint themselves on the sound as an aesthetic parameter within the music, rather like the crackle of an old vinyl album. These sonic qualities are also a testament to the incredible feat of musicians performing in real-time across distances of thousands of kilometres.

Nicolas Tourney – Ram
[BN_LP028_02_20]
Nicolas Tourney
“Ram”
Nicolas Tourney is a french experimental musician and sound designer, also owner of the label Snow in Water Records. With Ram, he offers us an electronic work focused on perception and act of listening, with the use of various sound devices and drones. Ram is a work in-progress with long-sustained tones. Ram submit to the listener some perceptual experience: there would be a “sound” as object of perception and source of this same perception. This held sound that we dress by calling it a soundscape, spacing exploration from the gesture. Look at what draws us to a sound, how listening gets caught up in it, and how it draws our attention to an experience. Ram sounds like a suspense that opens onto interiority. In this silence, the listener finds himself contemplating the act of listening, as if it is the constant noise of natural electricity.

Laurent Fairon – QUIRKS
Laurent Fairon
“QUIRKS”
Hi, there,
Maybe you’ll fing something to your tastes in my new project QUIRKS:
https://laurentfairon.bandcamp.com/album/quirks
The blurb:
The QUIRKS mini album combines various scattered audio remains –vinyl detritus, found sounds and spoken word– to produce new sound chimeras and audio collages with a life of their own.
The QUIRKS concept and methodology were inspired by a famous US boardgame from the 1980s, where cards of various animal parts combine to create new, imaginary creatures – the cover artwork chosen for this Bandcamp album intended to emulate the mood as well.
This project is also indebted to US provocateurs Bill Buchanan and Dickie Goodman, who pioneered the “break-in” record in the 1950s, or plunderphonics avant la lettre.
L.F.: vinyl, found sounds, loops, artwork
Best,
Laurent Fairon
