The Hathaway Family Plot – The Next Room

The Hathaway Family Plot – The Next Room

The Hathaway Family Plot

“The Next Room”

In the fall of 2020 my regular gig playing piano for ballet classes was forced by COVID to go virtual. I still commuted to campus and broadcast my playing from an empty studio. The building was being renovated, so a small group of construction workers walked the student-less hallways. Between classes, I began to experiment with recording my playing from a small portable recorder placed in the hallway outside the studio–partly to capture the strange whistle that one particular corridor often produces. The result is a hiss-heavy album wherein construction workers are heard walking by, an instructor’s voice is faintly heard far away, and the piano also sounds like a distant thing.*

The resulting recordings resonated with me emotionally in a way that felt appropriate for the year. It’s been hard to see and recognize beauty. Truth is relentlessly attacked, obfuscated, and denied. It feels like we’re stuck in a room outside the room where something beautiful may be happening. We know or believe that it exists, but we can’t see it or touch it. We’re being kept out of that space.

Headphones are recommended.

*(There is also one song recorded at home from the hallway outside my office–the recorder set next to a dog who is resting in his bed, nervously smacking his lips. Is it a strange kind of ASMR? Is this whole album? It may be to me.)

Robot Speaker – Plasmatica

Robot Speaker – Plasmatica
[KOF #344]

Robot Speaker

“Plasmatica”

A hazy 40-minute mind-altering, mood shifting amalgamation of sound. “Plasmatica” is a fuzzy, distorted OST recovered from the rom file of a cancelled japan only Super Famicom title that doesn’t exist.It’s funky, soulful and scratchy with breakbeats and sample work. It all sounds very “classic” in a way that’s hard to explain. When I hear Takuma’s music It feels like deja vu. Not just like I’ve heard it before but almost as if I should already have it memorized.

FFO: Enduser, Pop’n TwinBee, Hitori Tori, Jikkyō Oshaberi Parodius, Manapool, Bahamut Lagoon and Masaya Matsuura

Various Artists

“2020 Compilation”

We round off a disturbing year to say the least with a new edition of the annual Atomnation compilation series. Across 10 essential tracks, this year’s selections touch on some of the best music released in the last 12 months as well as serving up some new tracks. Exclusive to download for free on Bandcamp for the next few days. Thank you for your support, stay safe all and take care of each other.

The exclusives on this year’s collection include ‘Off The Ground’ from Sky Civilian, the New Mexico artist who spans many musical worlds from pop to house to techno. Her track is a gorgeous ambient and classical fusion that washes over you like a dream. Another exclusive comes from dark disco innovators Bufi and the Mordisco duo, who between them have credits on labels like My Favorite Robot and Duro. Their ‘Los Pilares’ is a rugged, textured chugger with slapping hits and pixelated cosmic leads.

Leonardo Di Fiore aka NOCUI is a new Italian composer, producer, and sound designer whose exclusive ‘All Night’ is a breezy deep house groove with machine made soul and heart warming chords from the future. Lastly for the exclusives, Dutch duo Polynation are known for improvisational, spontaneous dynamic live performances. They capture that here with a freeform and jazzy synth style as they carry you away to the heavens on shimmering breakbeats with ‘Humming’.

Elsewhere, Applescal serves up the supple and melodic deep techno of ‘Cymbals Rush’, which is taken from his Diamond Skies album back in May, while Gidge also serve up ‘New Light’, a track taken from their album of the same name and one that is awash with heavenly vocal chants, melancholic chords and expansive post-pop beats. Add in tried and tested favourites from Millio, David Douglas, Sam Goku and boys be kko and you have another well-sequenced journey through many shades of electronic music that are all united by emotive feelings and great craft.

Luka Prinčič – ark​/​d, amorphic

Luka Prinčič – ark​/​d, amorphic

Luka Prinčič

“ark​/​d, amorphic”

“an uninterrupted journey of purely computer music, which moves through diverse sonic fields and eavesdrops on the darker aspects of contemporary human condition”

The newest work by the Slovenian intermedia artist Luka Prinčič, the continued piece ark/d, amorphic is somewhat minimal, but a complex composition and an example of computer music in the new decade. With SuperCollider and computer programming Prinčič has managed to use various sound-generating algorithms to form a lengthy non-linear sound story. Searching for the amorphousness in the absence of form, he programmed the sound generators and transformations using the programming language like a loom, sewing the code into repetitive pulsations and ambiental scenery that eavesdrops on the darker aspects of contemporary human condition.

Deliberately in small initials, the title ark/d, amorphic alludes to a minority philosophy that seeks a world in the shadows of the spectacle and activates against the domination of the majority and the megalomania of post-objectification.

Chapters of ark/d, amorphic:
· be back lighter
· gcdmod
· AKJ
· shippo
· wranglemel
· lcmnoi
· s1dist
· padme
· lorenzp

Source code to album is published free under conditions of Peer Production Licence – available as bonus material in the download, but also currently on this link: git.tmp.si/luka/ark_d.amorphic/src/branch/master/ark_d.scd

Roy Guzman – Logica Axiomatica

Roy Guzman

“Logica Axiomatica”

Roy F GuzmanAlgorithmic and instrumental electronic music composer, improviser, and poet born in San Juan, Puerto Rico on June 28, 1987. His previous and current research topics are chaos theory for structural musical material, abstraction as a subject worked through the instrumental interpretation of sound scoresusing them as a metaphor of the perception of all reality,resilience, the authentic limitations of systems, non-duality, aximoms of conceptual and phisical objects, geometrical abstract forms in musical structuresand the study and formalization of the reading action of non traditional scoresand the expansion of the musical parametrizationandconstructs.Recently he explores Meta Composition where the metaphysicsand physics are affected by thestructuresand objectsof compositional forms, symbols and texts.He created Concrete Multi Semiotic Poetry where synchronous and asynchronous multi semioticism is explored and Integral Poetry where a semiotic color is explored as an integral of a multi semioticism of a universal and popular gestalt.He also investigates and creates deductions about the metaphysics of ancestral Latin American spirituality and its axiomatic potential and abstract development for the creation of new constructs and philosophies that have the potential to alter the perceptual reality and metaphysical or spiritual space.

Lógica AxiomáticaThis series of piecesdeals with the concept of Axiomatic Logic. It is a synthesis of two philosophical conceptsand its lay definitions: Axioms and Logic. The intention of thisconceptual musical work is to dive into the essence of geometrical structuresinthis case the square,the triangle and the circleand to dive into a higher level of the abstract ethereal space were the macroscopic view or meta-scopic conceptLogic reignsin the semiotic field. Logic is taken here as the material that allows information to be generatedor understood. This would be the essential elements that allow the decoding of information generated through logical associations or logical structures therefor the word Logic. In my examination and proposition of this ethereal abstract space the totality of the material individually as particulars exists in the lower levelsand the logos or objects, conceptual substances growsin power and abundance as the word or logos encompassin its definition a range of the totality from below. There are certain concepts and words that tend to surpasstaxonomically the semiotic totality like the word or field of Logic were actions of structuring material in order to create truths and information that are relative truths are done. We can associate this as the highestlevel of control of the semiotic whole in a hierarchicallyorganized ethereal space were the popular universal gestalt reignsbeing the colors the most higherform, then followingthe asemic forms, symbols and structures and then follows the language where Logic and Algorithmic meta control reigns.The word Axiom here is used to state that I am using the essence of this geometrical simplistic and powerful forms elaborated on a simple minimalsemiotic sound as a clickwhichstates mainly proportional forms in the duration of the musical eventswhich are taken as the axiomatic color in sound of these geometrical structures.

sin-título[10-27-20]This work is part of a series of work named untitled or sin-título[date] were I am focusing on pure abstract forms in sound and music.In this piece I tend to stand conceptually with amthe ideathat sounds and music are a-symbolicphenomenological substances and that this art of sounds should be perceivedwith a synthesis of a concrete, primitive, eideticandexperiential consciousnessin order to enjoy the pure forms, the tension and release, without the confusionand obstruction of semiotics.

we stand in unequivocal solidarity with black americans begging for their FULL liberation.

violence happens against humans, animals, the earth. not property. looting & vandalism ARE non-violent protest. burn down the symbology of oppression—this is a powerful gesture. don’t compare it to the loss of life by using the word “violent.”

we are committed to listening, learning, & using our voice to help fight for the change that is so desperately needed in this country.
