Nearly eight years after he coined the phrase “SIX ONNA 7” for the first volume of his innovative fortyFive sub-series (which has gone on to have a life of its own with other artists releasing their own volumes), Gregory ‘Tha Silent Partner’ Davis returns with Volume 8, this time closing it out with a THANK YOU to those heroes in the medical field without whom the world would be in much more dire straits. Download and enjoy.
Thanks once again to TSP for delivering some great new music. I’d also like to echo his sentiment with a sincere thank you to him and all in the medical field. Thank you all so much for risking your lives everyday for everyone of us.
Of course, thanks once again to you for downloading & listening. We always strive to deliver the music you’ll love. Please spread the word about blocSonic, if you enjoy what we do. Remember… everything we release is cool to share! Always keep the music moving… share it… blog it… podcast it! If you’re in radio… support independent music and broadcast it!
For the first time in 3 years, C-Doc returns with a solo release. This time around it’s the latest installment in his own series of SIX ONNA 7s (a fortyFive sub-series originally created by Tha Silent Partner in 2012). Inspired by the giant public outcry for significant change in how black folks are treated in the United States, “Division 5: BLACKOUT!” is music for and from the times we’re living in. Download, listen & when done… find some way to do your part to bring about change.
Rest In Power to all those who have lost their lives at the hands of Police. We have to make sure that they haven’t died in vain.
Hey Doc… it’s been a minute since we’ve had the pleasure of dropping a C-Doc release, I’m glad it’s this. We’ll let the fans determine its significance, however I feel that any art speaking truth is incredibly important. Thank you, sir!

Originally set to be part of his next project, M.V.A felt that this one had to be released right now. Enjoy. More art speaking the truth that is all around us. Please find ways that you can help bring about change.
Thank you so much for the art, M.V.A! There’s never enough that speaks truth to power.

Centrul Isteric (FR: Centre Hystérique; EN: Hysterical Center) is the brainchild of Romanian A/V artist Gili Mocanu, better known for his abstract electronics project, Somnoroase Păsărele, which saw over a dozen recordings released on Baba Vanga (CZ), Anti-Everything (US), Czaszka (UK), OBS (RU), OTA and URUBU (PT). His style is distinctive, utilizing atypical synth sounds and asymmetrical or non-rhythmic elements, with several successful incursions into minimalist ambient/drone as well.
When not orchestrating his own samples as Somnoroase Păsărele, Gili has initially (circa 2009-10) used Centrul Isteric as a side-project for messing around with rhythmic loops extracted from popular music – sometimes matching the BPM while other times not. Over time, the experiment has evolved into long-form spectral explorations (2010-16), and has recently settled into a 3rd approach to “organized hysteria”, as illustrated by KISI. On this 36-minute piece, which utilizes source materials provided by his SP companion, Miru Mercury, only the 3 or 4 opening seconds of each soundpiece are sampled and looped, in such ways that would allow for maximum dramatic effect with each subsequent maneuver. KISI thus marks a shift from previous formless ‘agglutination’ to more considered ‘superordination’ in time and space.

At times, a tent appears in the hallways of a giant shopping center announcing a collective desire to elope. The times of cynicism and sitting on the beach chair, believing that nothing was going to melt from its foundations, are over.
The exercise of power is a pressure cooker, using (re)pression. Machinery requires to generate a drowning, and drown every slap made by the oppressed. It represses it with physical and economical violence, and with tons of images alluding to static structures. A majority category, a common point, to agree, but fundamentally unreachable and inaccessible in its totality. And there is a minority counterpart: poor, ugly, violeted, spectator of its own minority but immersed in the dream of being included, someday, by the majority.
But there is a third category, the one who does not want or need to continue playing the rules of a game that was created so that they would lose it. People with defective bodies, physically weak, second-level genres, depressed, shy and mutant, although they don’t stop moving. They require shaking and articulating themselves, know each other and look at each other, and so they realize that they were not so alone, and that they did not need the normality that the repressive images proposed to them. Seek the not obvious and realize yourself as a constant flow, that shakes and makes uncomfortable the status; questions, says and screams, and whose only way to be stopped completely, to be killed, is by condemning it to oblivion. Unfortunately, we have a good memory.
“minoritario” is an album that inserts us in a constant intermittency. Short rhythms and textures that draw a landscape where we are forced to be alert. The challenge of paying attention and perceiving what is around usduring a change of decade where we have the challenge of living with uncertainty every day. Musical pieces that announce the arrival of a momentthat does not stop becoming present, and in turn the challenge of facing what surrounds usto follow our constant march.

Marghera
Presentazione dell’album
Marghera è un’esperienza sonora. Marghera è un itinerario musicale ed emotivo che porta a interpretare i suoni, a interiorizzare un messaggio soggettivo, personale, privato. Marghera è un’elaborazione di idee. Marghera è un riappropriarsi di un luogo-non luogo non antropizzato. Marghera è un gioco velato di sfondi.
Tinte malinconiche si alternano a spazi meditativi, tra densità e rarefazione. Suoni scolpiti, dialoghi, rumori, ritmi discreti; luoghi virtuali che diventano intimi, familiari; atmosfere eteree, vibranti, gassose, prodighe di suggestioni a tratti quasi rituali; ambienti sonori in cui abbandonarsi a sequenze di elettronica sofisticata, con tessiture ambient-glitch, o che indagano con pennellate tenui i diversi territori del suono. Un mondo ambient, lievemente pianistico. Un album che gioca sulle immagini, che presenta visioni di spazi esterni e di luoghi interni, da indagare con un punto di vista nuovo. Tutto questo è Marghera. Il resto va scoperto…
