Toni Dimitrov – Bucharest Sketches (GFR, 129)
This is the fifth in the series of field recordings albums from the field recordist and sound artist Toni Dimitrov dedicated to a city. After the field recordings from Athens (released on Green Field Recordings), Milan and Ioannina (released on Auriculab), and Belgrade (released on Silber Records), this time the sketches are recorded in Bucharest during his stay in Romania for field recordings residency in the Danube delta, in the summer of 2019. In the piece you can hear the recordings from the Bucharest streets, parks, the noise from the rain, fountains, etc., interweaving subtly, blurring the line between field recording and sound art.

Big Blood is:
Colleen Kinsella
Caleb Mulkerin
Quinnisa Kinsella Mulkerin
Written and recorded at home by Big Blood.
This album is dedicated to Paul Yves Reny, Greta Thunberg and Fred Cole. Thank You to Feeding Tube Records.
Taken From Feeding Tube Records:
Wow! Great new LP by the full trio version of Maine’s Big Blood. Colleen, Caleb and Quinnisa are all present and accounted for at every turn on this one!
Unlike their last LP, The Daughter’s Union (FTR 459) (which seemed like some sort of experiment involving glam-rock-readymades), Do You Wanna? is awash with crazily re-imagined girl group dynamics. Some of these tight-sparkly-dress recreations have a savage teenage authority, but others wiggle more like dreams stolen from the nodes of Julee Cruise, Angelo Badalmanetti or David Lynch. Sometimes there are style-ghosts standing in all the expected places, but none of them are behaving the way we’d expect.
But I do not wish to paint the sound here as monochromatic. There are many of Big Blood’s classic elements employed with trademark pluck — witchy patches recalling early Spires That in the Sunset Rise, small balloons filled with glitter & gas-pulses, bubbling pools of pure psychedelic confusion. But the strange sophistication of children wearing Diana Ross masks is something new. And it’s such a mesmerizing vision, I find myself paying extra attention to it.
But then again, that’s just the surface. The lyrics here are of a piece with Big Blood’s patented approach of creating surrealist poetry in a rural and arrestingly original American style. Quinissa’s newly rampant influence seems to be grounding some of the lyrical imagery in more quotidian scenes (”Insecure Kids,” etc.), but with the parental examples she’s afforded on a daily basis, this may just be a phase. But whatever else it is, Do You Wanna? is another amazing spin from Big Blood. And there’s even a poster you can pin on your memory board. Talk about your win/win situations!

In times of social revolution against an abusive economic system, in a Valparaíso that does not yield to brutal police repression, there is also a strong cultural response to this unpopular government that does not listen to any slogan. The artistic expressions that confront this whirlwind of state violence are varied, contributing with creative beauty influenced by the social movement, and it is there where electronic music is also present.
Javier Moraga is one of the most important representatives and diffusers of this musical style in the Valparaíso region. Week after week he delights us with records on his radio program “Sala de Máquinas” (Room of Machines) on the radio Valentín Letelier, broadcasting on the modulated frequency of the “V Costa”, new albums by producers of national and international electronica. His musical knowledge is vast, he has publications in the most important Buenos Aires netlabels such as Modismo and Epasonidos. Furthermore, as a sound technician, we can affirm that his new album “Violence is in the air” leaves no doubt about his great musical experience. We will listen to nine songs that cross the sounds of ambient, glitch and experimental, with great sonic amplitude, expressive frequencies, varied and enveloping samples with a clear avant-garde tendency both musically and conceptually, understanding that, in Chile, today more than ever there exist winds of profound social change.

Doctrina Natura
[Spain]
Format: Digital
Release Date: April 13 2020
Cat: ST014
The Doctrina Natura’s project was born at the end of 2017, with the need of experiment with instructive, organic, hypnotic music, a sound intimately linked to nature. Ambient, experimental, slow techno rhythms and the influence of ethnic sounds, is what best captures this project.
This album represents fantasy and mythology through sound. Reading a book is imagining stories through words. In music, those words are transformed into sounds; this is a story to be told through the sounds.
>From the shadows stands, oh Queen of ghosts, Goddess of Sorcery.
Protective of the roads, observer, guardian of the crossroads.
Goddess of the three forms, bearer of keys, maker of light and darkness.
Half goddess, half witch, the moon and fire coexist there.
Guardian of the woods, connoisseur of magical plants, priestess, healer.

ALL TRACKS EXCLUSIVE FOR THIS COMPILATION
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 !

The music of WHΛLTHISИEY here is served with the usual tones of his ambient compositions, which, except for the exceptions, are generally piano based, accompanied by drone soundscapes, which in this Mahorka debut for the artist were developed further into noisier territories, yet containing even heavier calmness.
Sounds of noisy guitars stand out around and through the slow reverberating piano flows, presenting an environment more dense and obscure than usual that provides a solitary soundtrack to nowhere, really an aural pilgrimage with no destination in time and space.

Music and artwork by WHΛLTHISИEY
WHΛLTHISИEY is Fernando Cerqueira from Lisbon, Portugal
Born in 2011, JOAN’S DIARY made their debut with the ep HYSTERIA for Toten Schwan Records, followed by the album AND OR NOT (Toten Schwan / ® esisto) and HELLO, BLOODY SISTER also on Toten Schwan (which will make use of graphic works by the master Sergio Padovani) and in 2015 TSUCHIGUMO (latest release for Toten Schwan Records).
They partecipate in several compilations and a 4 way split with Luciferi, OV Temple and Inghippo. The latest album was called SINDROME VAUCANSON and was released on Tu-Fa Records in Palermo. The group is made up of Davide Rossi, Luca Rossi and Eleonora Frascatore.
This is a tribute to the memory of DAVIDE ROSSI who in September of the year 2019 had decided to end his existence by giving us an appointment somewhere else.
The tracks that make up this album are drafts of what could have been something new for JOAN’S DIARY and which I found in a forgotten folder on my computer.
I completed them myself, trying to keep faith with Davide’s approach, as far as I could. They represent one of the many ways that I put in place not to forget him and to alleviate the pain still alive for his silent escape.
If he had had them in his hands they would certainly have been different, probably better, but I am not and will never be like him, so take them like this, as they came out.
It is an album that does not seek glory or complacency, but which only aims to keep his memory alive.
Many Thanks to Marco Valente of Toten Schwain Records, and Anime Nere.
