M-PeX

“Livre”

LIVRE is the new album by M-PeX, a work that celebrates freedom and the essence of being free. With the collaboration of André Coelho on double bass, this primarily acoustic album, enriched with elements of ambient electronics, offers a deep exploration of dialogues and improvisations between the Portuguese guitar and the double bass. Composed of 15 tracks, including improvisations captured in direct take, LIVRE invites the listener on an introspective and liberating journey. Highlights include tracks such as ‘Balada da Costa Azul’, ‘Canto Al-Ulyã’, ‘Cónios’, and ‘Al-Çonik’. Released as part of the PRALAC artistic residency, with edition by Enough Records and artwork by Marco Madruga, this album is a reflection on the importance of freedom in artistic creation, in life, and in the world.

[zen295]

Cristiano Bocci & Smiltzo

“SATOR AREPO TENET OPERA ROTAS”

This is an album inspired by the “Sator square” (also known as “magic square”), a paleochristian inscription found in several places around Italy (the most famous is in Pompei), whose meaning is mysterious even today.

Five tracks; each one of those is a word of the square, and each one consists of five sonic ambients, which are the letters that make up the word itself. Each letter has its own melodic and harmonic content. In order to respect the palindrome pattern of the square, negative harmony was applied.

An instrumental concept album.

“Train to Nowhere”

⚠️ 80% des profits faits grâce à l’achat de cet album seront renversés à une association ou cagnotte pour la palestine !

« Train to Nowhere » est une partie de la soundtrack de mon émission « OddTheater », que j’essaie sans succès de continuer et d’entretenir depuis presque deux ans maintenant. Ainsi, dans le cas où je décide d’abandonner la réalisation de vidéos sur internet, j’ai pris l’initiative de tout de même partager les musiques d’ambiante que j’ai composées et produites pour ladite émission, afin qu’elles ne pourissent pas dans mes dossiers, restant complètement inutiles.

Il n’y a pas de réel lien entre les différents morceaux. Ils peuvent être écoutés dans l’ordre de l’album, tout comme séparément.

Certains morceaux comme Detectives (2), Lost Files (6) ou The Lair (7) sont faits pour pouvoir être joués en boucle.
Par ailleurs, The Woods (4), Silent passenger (5), Lost Files (6), ou Red Hand (9) peuvent être séparés en deux parties chacun. Vous retrouverez en morceau bonus (en téléchargeant l’album), les morceaux 4, 6 et 9 séparés en deux parties. Le 2nd morceau étant divisé en cinq parties, ce serait franchement un peu chiant de toutes les séparer, donc flemme pour celui-là. (vous les séparerez vous-mêmes si vous êtes motivés, les distinctions entre parties ne sont pas si floues)

Enfin, une version acoustique d’Alleviated est disponible en morceau bonus avec le téléchargement de l’album. Celui-ci est entièrement gratuit mais si vous estimez que mon travail le mérite, un achat à prix libre est bien évidemment le bienvenu.

Stanley Hottek

“Stupid Love”

At the beginning of the year, Sascha Müller (Psychocandies) asked me if I wanted to do my part for Netlabel Day and contribute a track. Full of enthusiasm, I immediately agreed, only to later realize that time was running out. Too much on my mind, too many projects at once – my problem again. At the last minute, I found a track that had been hidden in my infamous drawer since 2021. Since I recognized potential, I got to work on it, as always at the last minute, changing a few nuances here and there and giving my Waldorf Pulse a voice again.

The theme of the track is “Stupid Love” – ​​a reflection on how crazy love can sometimes be. Whether it’s the passion for music, the relationship with your better half or the incessant urge for toxic bonds and intense, physical music – love has many facets.

As always, you can download the track for free from my Bandcamp profile and from today you can also hear it somewhere in the vastness of this stream during the online stream for Netlabel Day.

Support is welcome, downloads are welcome, sharing is welcome.

WUSA – WUSA
[YESNO 112]

WUSA

“WUSA”

Wusa, formerly known as Band Zoo, has officially adopted its new name – a moniker inspired by the rich history and philosophical teachings of the Khawagaka tradition. Khawagaka itself is a doctrine inscribed on ancient manuscript leaves from the Samasthamarta civilization. The discovery of these Khawagaka manuscripts has unlocked a gateway to delve deeper into the history and traditions that gave rise to this profound teaching.

The Khawagaka doctrine, along with its spoken language and script, was first introduced in the band’s previous album. This latest release delves even further into the origins of Khawagaka teachings and the culture from which they emerged. It also explores the impact of knowledge industrialization and technological advancement on cultural values and traditions.

Wusa’s musical project is part of Rully Shabara’s long-term artistic endeavor centered around the Khawagaka manuscript, which encompasses language, script, belief systems, mythology, philosophy, history, and culture. This ambitious project operates under the auspices of the Khawagaka Historical and Cultural Archives Institute, an independent organization dedicated to tracking, excavating, preserving, and disseminating all findings related to Khawagaka history.

The Wusa music group functions as a division within the Rijmana Council, tasked with interpreting Khawagaka teachings and culture, and popularizing them among contemporary society through modern mediums such as music, film, and other formats. The names of the Zugrafi script and the Zufrasi spoken language were also coined by the Rijmana Council.

“downdriver drift”

Richard Mariconda and I have yet to meet and make music together in-person, and the recording process for the downdriver drift triptych was done exclusively through file-sharing. I have always dreamed of meeting an electronics-wizard like Richard who can use various tools beyond my level of understanding to sort of decorate and enhance certain aspects of the language I generate on the guitar. The three tracks on this release were essentially constructed through the process of myself sharing a guitar track with Richard and telling him to do whatever he wants with it.

Joachim Stiller – Music For Wireless Telegraphs

Joachim Stiller – Music For Wireless Telegraphs
[mhrk398]

Joachim Stiller

“Music For Wireless Telegraphs”

Two one hour sound works inspired by and based on, and I quote: “the ominous feeling of winter, dark clouds, the fear of getting lost – and nesting somewhere that feels safe”.

Influences include the soundtracks of Petscop and Nier: Automata, Autechre, 7038634357, COIL, ‘Tomorrow, In A Year’ (The Knife, PlanningToRock, Mt. Sims) and a recurring nightmare.

Released on Mahorka June 17, 2024 as free (cc) digital download and limited double cassette edition.

Commissioned by Sanneke Kleingeld, one of Radio Tempo Não Pàra’s curators, for their ‘ik houd het nest warm’ radio program that aired on the 15th of December 2023.

TNP’s curator Kleingeld had heard an episode of Sounds Between Here and Nowhere (a radioshow by Luca Heydt and Mees Joachim) on Big Toilet Radio and proceeded to discover the artist’s Paradise Mixes made for the 2023 Birds of Paradise exhibition – which featured many unreleased tracks made under Mees Joachim’s Joachim Stiller, Absolute Candor and Zalmroze monikers – and proceeded to commission the artist to create a special mix for the radio station.

The sound work began to live a life on its own – becoming a sound collage of self-sampled unreleased works and new recordings centered around, but not limited to, synthesized sound.

As a fairly ambient / new age sound was warranted for the occasion, Mees Joachim took on their Joachim Stiller moniker to create two entirely original 1 hour sound works, with ‘Radiophonic Sound bath #2’ being the selected piece to be aired on Radio TNP.

The Stiller moniker has been around for a while, albeit used for art / karaoke performances, installations and video works prior to 2023, when it was first used for a music release: ‘And The Overstaying of Welcomes’ in collaboration with Absolute Candor.

Joachim Stiller’s debut album, ‘In Shallow Water’, was released by Bad Boy Jesus Tape Club in April 2024. With these two sound works, released on Mahorka in May 2024, expanding the sound of Joachim Stiller even further.

Credits:
Performed, Produced, Recorded, Mixed, Mastered, etc. by Mees Joachim as Joachim Stiller in 2023, with some recordings dating back to 2021.

Featuring several synthesizers, sequencers, guitar, harp, trumpet and a Nintendo DS.

Valentina Maza – Busco espacio

Valentina Maza – Busco espacio
[pn232]

Valentina Maza

“Busco espacio”

Como “composiciones intensivas” define Valentina Maza las piezas que componen su más reciente disco. “Busco espacio” es un trabajo solista ideado, interpretado y registrado en vivo durante tres semanas de residencia artística en el Centro GAM, de acuerdo a un proceso creativo a tiempo real.

Tres piezas electroacústicas y dos remezclas proponen a quien escucha reflexionar de cuántas formas se puede “hacer espacio” a través del sonido, pues la música ocupa tiempo, cuerpo, equipamiento, decisiones. “Esa idea fue dando lugar a un sistema híbrido de grabación y a una música que casi no tuvo edición posterior. Son piezas que no quise cortar ni maquillar, en el sentido de que me abstuve de muchos efectos, y dejé un sonido más de cámara”, describe Valentina.

La creadora combina su trabajo con máquinas y viola, como instrumentos principales, con el uso de su voz “como gesto performático, para marcar ciertos momentos. Como sucede cuando se cantan canciones de cuna”, en sus palabras. Puede escucharse como una invitación a insertarse en un ritmo alternativo al del ajetreo urbano, más íntimo y atemporal. En ese “busco espacio” del título hay, en realidad, la creación de un entorno sonoro nuevo.

Valentina Maza defines the pieces that comprise her latest album as “intensive compositions”. “Busco espacio” (Searching for Space) is a solo work, conceived, performed, and recorded live during three weeks of artistic residency at Centro GAM, and arising from a real-time creative process.

Three electroacoustic pieces and two remixes invite listeners to reflect on the myriad ways one can “make space” through sound, as music occupies time, body, equipment, and decisions. “That idea led to a hybrid system or recording and music that had almost no post-editing. These are pieces that I didn’t want to cut or manipulate much, in the sense that I refrained from using many effects, and left a more chamber-like sound” , describes Valentina.

The creator bring her work together with machines and viola as the principal instruments, using her voice “as a performative gesture, to mark certain moments. Like when lullabies are sung”, in her words. It can be heard as an invitation to immerse oneself in an alternative rhythm to that of the urban hustle, at once more intimate and timeless. In the “searching for space” of the title, there is, in reality, the creation of a new sonic environment.
