“A Thousand Concreted Perils”

Richard Sanderson – A Thousand Concreted Perils
New album of experimental improvisations for melodeon (diatonic button accordion) from London based squeezebox player, morris dancer and head of Linear Obsessional Recordings. “A Thousand Concreted Pearls” goes even further than previous albums, the melodeon is amplified and put through effects pedals and mixed with feedback, or put through a modular synth. This resolutely melodic instrument, and workhorse of English folk is here thrust into an entirely new world.

Dirch Blewn

“Capacity and Resistance”

Dirch Blewn – Capacity and Resistance
Dirch Blewn is the project of musician David Bloor. He records and performs the instruments of Peter Blasser. Recorded live with a few overdubs this music is the sound of capacitors charging and dissipating, of gesture with no finesse, of fish guts and physical connection with wires. Flexing wood and the smell of tung oil. It’s about the drum of Tommy Lee added to some drama from Pamela, the heady mix of surfboards and silicon. The remnants of squeezing jelly ass signal into 8 bits and ultrasound. The sound of woodpile, chaos theory, kiri with a cardboard box, industrial components and paradox.

Linear Obsessional is delighted to release this mesmeric work as a free download as a precursor to an album of shorter works to be released later in the year…

released July 17, 2016

Capacity & Resistance was recorded on two plumbutters, cocoquantus, sidrax and tetrax.

Luis Marte – Routier

Luis Marte – Routier
[pn109]

Luis Marte

“Routier”

Luis Marte – Routier
“When the diverse tendencies of electronic sound are combined, they create style. The form in which the style is crafted provides variety to the listener. As such, it is natural for the inspired musician to suddenly perceive the different forms of noise and interpret it in relation to a work. Luis Marte establishes the union of rhythm and sonic experimentation in a persistent manner, wide and fleeting, with passages (and/or landscapes) “from other worlds” injected from minimal percussion, clear and at the same time deep beats, synthesizers strange for the neophyte and beloved for the initiated.

I have no doubt that Routier (pn109) was composed for the most part with hardware; its sound betrays it. Each beat has its own personality, every glitch, strike, synthesizer and noise in general is carefully aleatoric (Is it possible for the casual to be meticulously cultivated also?) and fits perfectly.

The experience of the autor is also important when it comes time to produce. The broad musical baggage of Luis Marte, the production of numerous festivals, collaborations, and his constant research with new media allows him to interpret through his own prism tendencies that are raw, that do not tend to sail together in the ocean of electronic sound.

What do we have then?

Seven sessions riddled with singular concepts , rhythmic and minimalist, analog and digital, interlaced into a whole and conforming parity, exquisite and of good taste when it comes to relating each noise, beat, glitch, synthesizer, machine, module and who knows what other gadget worthy of praise between the jumble of cables and connections in the studio of Luis Marte.”

[SE073]

See Pereria

“Bodies”

See Pereria – Bodies
Stato Elettrico presents Bodies by See Pereria from Sheffield, UK.

“An electronic blend of sounds, with bubbled up basslines, funky acid looniness and a sensual voice that sings as if she is one human synthesizer”. (‘Yeah I Know it Sucks’, Oct 2015)

See Pereria has a process led approach to making experimental electronica. Preset loops are used as set parameters with the addition of vocals as a further instrument. These limits and boundaries allow for See Pereria to really experiment with the software to create new sounds. Each track in the song is manipulated and sculpted by being layered, cut up and/or looped. Songs are made with heavy emphasis on synths, beats, harmonies and repetition.

The Cream Canteens

“Moderate Peril”

The Cream Canteens – Moderate Peril
The Cream Canteens bring you ‘Moderate Peril’

Feast your ears! This eagerly-awaited EP is a musical summit in all respects: a meeting of minds returned from remote audio peaks with a knapsack of treasure.

The Canteens fuse their digital experiments with the wiles of ancient folklore, creating a palette that is all their own. Each track is a bittersweet quest, moving from melodic flute ditties to sonic fuzz barrage, from lo-fi tinkering to laser-synth pyrotechnics. These warm-hearted tunes are guided by a firm hand on the tiller, with a daydream nod to the darker shores…

So, lay back and relax on this trans-Europa express and immerse your lobes in a mildly-threatening aural treat!

“Monoliths”

Thuuooom – Monoliths
Monoliths, the fourth full-length Thuuooom release (released on the same day as Aste EP), was conceived during the Kaiut sessions in 2014. With these four tracks, Tuomo experimented with even longer form than on the Kaiut tracks. As result, each of these tracks – dubbed ‘monoliths’ by Tuomo – clocks between 22 and 28 minutes.

Instruments used on this record: acoustic guitar, human voice, music box, piano.

Phobos 3

“La Casa Del Drago”

Phobos 3 – La Casa Del Drago
Dragon has its place, where the music becomes material and breathes playing. The new work of Phobos 3 is a journey from old coordinates to regain what we have lost. La Casa Del Drago is the second work of a triptych that will unfold as the culmination of a great power. A very delicate music and totally out of our dimension.
At the top as at the bottom, in a timber as in one quantum.

La casa del Drago è dove il potere ha la sua dimora, dove la musica diventa materia e respira suonando. Il nuovo lavoro dei Phobos 3 è un viaggio secondo antiche coordinate per ritrovare ciò che abbiamo perso. La Casa Del Drago è il secondo lavoro di un trittico che avrà come culmine il dispiegarsi di una grande energia. Una musica delicatissima e totalmente fuori dalla nostra dimensione.

In alto come in basso, in un legno come in un quanto.

Home is where the power of the Dragon has its place, where the music becomes material and breathes playing. The new work of Phobos 3 is a journey from old coordinates to regain what we have lost. La Casa Del Drago is the second work of a triptych that will unfold as the culmination of a great power. A very delicate music and totally out of our dimension.

The Impossebulls

“The Devils You Know”

The Impossebulls – The Devils You Know
Today The Impossebulls return with their first album of all new material since 2014’s impressive “Everything Has Changed; Nothing Is Different”! The new album, “The Devils You Know” is another dope selection of joints that simultaneously take you back to that classic boom bap sound, while also remaining fresh and new.

As with the previous album, The Bulls enlist a little help from good friends and legends… the most notable of which is one of the founding members of the great Stetsasonic and one of the most distinctive voices in hip-hop… Daddy-O! Of course that’s not all… the great Kyle Jason lends his voice to the album… as does the talented Anime Oscen. Last, but surely not least… our own The Honorable Sleaze drops a verse!

This dope new album isn’t all, though… in the coming five months, The Bulls are dropping the 5×5 series of EPs. One each month featuring more new music! Also, very soon, fans will be able to purchase “Devil’s Work”… a limited edition box set containing the album and all five EPs, so fans don’t have to wait to get all that fresh music into their ears! We’ll let you know when that becomes available. For now… we hope you enjoy the new album.

A very sincere thank you to The Impossebulls and all collaborators for delivering yet another underground / independent / netlabel hip-hop classic. Sleepers will sleep… those who are woke will hear it. blocSonic’s going to continue to wake ’em. Word.

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!

V.A. – Access Frame: Property

V.A.

“Access Frame: Property”

V.A. – Access Frame: Property
Democratization potential of online distribution of music has disrupted the landscape of music industry. While life is moving into information networks and capital and desire for profit are creating unregulated attention economies, an artist is able to create her own production, distribution and communication channels. By using Creative Commons licenses she ensures that the listeners and users are not criminalized for sharing. “Some rights reserved” also supports the idea that without free culture we are doomed to corporatization and control of all culture and art. The commons might cease to exist. Perhaps the role of the netlabel in the neo-liberal late-capitalist landscape is to help with curation, filtering, distribution, promotion and communication of unfettered and uncompromising artistic sonic output and making sure it is properly archived for future generations. A netlabel, an entity that is objectively external, allows the author to be critical about her work, while making sure that her work is published, shared, heard and archived.

With all that in mind Kamizdat is joining the celebration of low-barier D.I.Y. music publishing revolution, the annual celebration day called The Netlabel Day on 14. July.

The title of this collection of Slovenian artists refers to an idea that the debate around free, libre and open access enabled almost costlessly by the Internet is framed by the understanding of the concept of property. This seems almost an historical point, a disruption that has marked almost two decades since the appearance of the MP3, but we believe it is still one of main roots of the many problems regarding online culture and art today.

Svann Langguth

“Drei- und Vierstimmige Interventionen & Polymorphe Vivisektion”

Svann Langguth – Drei- und Vierstimmige Interventionen & Polymorphe Vivisektion
Over a couple of months, Svann Langguth soldered numerous electronic tone and noise generators and finally packed them in lunch boxes (Tupperware, anyone?). Therein, boards with the following chips are used:

40106 Schmitttrigger / 4093 Quad NAND / 4006 18-stage Shift Register / 555 Timer IC

The recordings are experiments with DIY tone and noise generators, with Svann working systematically, exploring the unique features of the specific circuits of his lunchboxes on a track-by-track basis.

Track titles should be understood according to this classification, and consequently also the separation into part A and B. A number of rhythmical and enriched Bass’n’Noise tracks are mixed in between pure complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor tracks.

The release is conceived as a classic double album, with two covers, two titles and two chronologies regarding the tracks on the respective album. Please consider these chronologies.
