SMILTZO – A LIFELONG QUARANTINE

SMILTZO – A LIFELONG QUARANTINE
[IYE38]

SMILTZO

“A LIFELONG QUARANTINE”

A collection of electronic paintings, suffused, decisive and revealing, an opening of the veil that imprisons us. Exciting and never obvious, it ranges from the ambient to the purest electronic music, conceived by a superior musical mind. Longlife Quarantine is good beyond this period we are experiencing, and will give you lots of emotions.

The titles are in Sanskrit. the most perfect and musical language we have, and this work is connected with the whole just like the oldest language.

Smilzo (aka Francesco Monaci) was born as a guitarist, but develops around the age of 20 his passion for the enormous compositional possibilities that software and electronic music in general provide. For about twenty years he has been part of the electronic pop songwriting band Liberal Carme (initially only as a guitarist, now also a singer), which has three assets, and in which they have collaborated with exponents of Italian indie music such as Paolo Benvegnù, Alessandro Fiori (Mariposa) and Massimo Fantoni (Marco Parente, Andrea Chimenti).

Since 2000 he has collaborated on soundtracks for Lorenzo Pecchioni’s Video & Archeos project, and produces music for other exponents of the Italian underground video scene.

As an electronic music composer he does not rely on a defined genre, but ranges from suggestions ranging from Apex Twin to Andrew Lloyd Webber, going from World Music to the noise of Einsturzende Neubauten, considering electronics only the means of expression that in the new millennium he exponentially expanded the compositional possibilities once reserved for symphonic music.

Pablo Gomez Bate – Conflicto Belico

Pablo Gomez Bate – Conflicto Belico
[pn154]

Pablo Gomez Bate

“Conflicto Belico”

When listening to “Conflicto Bélico” (War Conflict) we can immediately contextualize the situation
of the country in the album’s first track, a track that evolves and begins to distance itself from
external discourse, while unveiling its own story through noise, tension and depth.

Over the course of the LP, we are offered ambiences of constant sounds achieved through low
frequencies, generating a contrast with the high and rhythmic frequencies present through much of
this work. The rhythm develops in an imprecise way, with the beginning marked by the absence of
a beat, and when it appears it is not repetitive, it is only used as a gesture that disappears
among other elements. The lack of beat generates uncertainty for us as we wait for possible
cinematographic elements, suspenseful ambience and sound landscapes that produce a feeling of
hoping for something, while generating an anxious tension in the environment set forth.

As we approach the middle of the disc, the first melodic elements appear, allowing the sound
developed by Pablo Gómez Bate to approach a dreamlike state. The calm after the storm with an
ascent to the hopeful, demonstrating an excellent handling of the intensities that appear.

At the listening’s end, the same timbres and protaganistic frequencies from the first compositions
remain present, hinting that the total work can be considered as chapters telling us a complete
story that leads us either by reason or consequence to reflective and meditative states.

This creation shows an exhaustive exploration of timbres and various sound sources, including
samples, synthesizers, acoustic and organic sounds. Compositions made over low heat, allowing
the author to test and polish each track until everything was in its right place.

MR.SMiFF – 5SSENCE

MR.SMiFF – 5SSENCE
[mhrk242]

MR.SMiFF

“5SSENCE”

Absorbed in music for about 20 years, with many solo and collaborative releases, MR.SMiFF is continuing to experiment with various musical forms and styles. He is deeply immersed in observation of feelings, emotions, psychology and behaviors, in constant search of new means of musical expression, through old and new technologies. “5SSENCE”, his debut release on Mahorka, is inspired by the alchemy and recent personal experiences. The music has been influenced by and bears the same name as Neda Ruzheva’s audio-visual-dance performance, for which MR.SMiFF performs the music live. The five pieces follow the alchemical processes and correspond to different elements and senses. Through the use of slow and trippy ambient movements, the composer tries to freeze the time or delay moments indefinitely, with the glitchy twists and surprises interfering as result of unexpected and compressed reactions of the unpredictable interfusion of the “elements” – both in alchemical and psychological aspects.

Mild Wild – Vol. 1

Mild Wild – Vol. 1

Mild Wild

“Vol. 1”

This music is written and recorded quickly to capture the emotion of the moment. It’s lyrics are mostly taken from stream of conciseness and short journal entries. Some sections work to tell a story while others are content to depict abstract thoughts and feelings. The songs contain themes of selfishness, youth, consumerism, relationships, pollution, drug use, duality, religion, and employment to name a few. Although it is up to the listener to take away whatever messages they hear.

The project has been a work in progress since 2018, picked up when it felt right and not forced. All 12 songs were recorded to cassette tape using a Tascam Portastudio. Guitars, and ukulele make up the majority of the instrumentation but banjo, synth, harmonica, and bells can be found throughout. In place of traditional drums found objects and small percussion have been layered and sampled to build a backing rhythm. While tracking a variety of guitar pedals were placed in line to manipulate the sounds. Nearly all of the vocal tracks have been run through a “Hall of Fame” reverb pedal and very little post production work was done. Vocal doubling and hard stereo panning aim to give the tracks a spacious and ambient feeling. Each track is different but the methods used to capture the audio give the project unity.

Mild Wild has taken it’s influences (both sonically and visually) from the writer’s experiences and upbringing, many of which are subconsciously sourced. However some artist that have directly shaped the direction of the music include The Beatles, Kool A.D., Mac Demarco, Pavement, The Kinks, Stanley Kubrick, Wes Anderson, George Orwell, Ansel Adams, and Vincent Van Gough. Although that list could be much longer with more self reflection.

Mild Wild creates music not for profit but to share a brand of creativity that is truthful. All the songs included in Vol. 1 are free to download and use however others may see fit. The music is licensed under a Attribution Creative Commons. The hope is that the sounds when set free will organically find their way into other creative places.

Biocym – Narrow Slopes
[ST015]

Biocym

“Narrow Slopes”

Artists: Biocym [Andria, Italy]

Format: Digital
Release Date: May 4 2020
Cat: ST015

Biocym is an artistic project from southern Italy that seeks to awaken emotions by expressing its feelings towards reality and the use of atmospheres and scenarios reflected in its sound.
The main nucleus of his work reflects the attitude that man must embody in order to move in a dark and inscrutable reality that he must face when he inevitably explores it.

Biocym represents the way in which the artist approaches the way of awakening in himself by contemplating the infinite variety of landscapes of reality and proposes his progressive deepening.
His music is the meeting point of his two influences: natural sounds and those other sounds generated by his creativity.

Sampling, ‘micromontage’, and subsequently identifying pitch from objects, which will then be used through virtual instruments. This is how you introduce yourself to the Wild Breath world. Being the result of the process of deconstruction of the compositional act from the visual conceptualization. Which, attempts to communicate the existing language in a solo instrument (the clarinet) designed from an improvised approach. And that explores and cultivates the relationship between the performer and the drawing. In a very particular sound conception.

High Step Society – Perception

High Step Society – Perception

High Step Society

“Perception”

In the midst of overblown computer noises and a rainbow LED sea, the man felt beckoned by a soft, distant light. Upon entering the fantastical shanty village known as The Folly, he and his tribe happened upon an debaucherous, balcony-shaking dance party, thumping to a sound that fit just as readily into a gilded vintage ballroom as a digital desert playground. In that moment, Music, Love, Art, and the Present Moment were the only things that mattered; this was the day Gravitas and High Step Society united.

High Step Society’s new EP Perception, out via Gravitas Recordings, boldly combines the driving beats and bass drops of modern electronica with the hallowed tones of jazz. Through exploring this fusion, the result is an EP that is unstoppably danceable and overflowing with creativity. High Step Society evokes subtle nostalgia for another era, while authentically translating timelessness into a form of contemporary grit. A work spawned from a diverse group of creatives – trained jazz musicians, dark folkies, seasoned funk/rock players, and bass music aficionados – Perception represents a melting pot of collaboration and blending of styles.

Revisit the past with “Side Step,” where a luscious sonic soundscape is concocted from perennial jazz and dreamy, euphonious ingredients. After communing with the past, “Back to the Roots” extends an energetic groove that leaves all worries behind. Title track “Perception” is a dynamic, alluring killer that dances along the concepts of perception, attraction, and infatuation. Woefully rolling through the night on “No. 9,” imaginative instrumentation drives you back into your darkest hour. Transfiguring into a ghostly escapade, “Howlin” is an unearthly companion that escorts you to the brink of the multicolored musical cauldron.
