{AN} EeL & My Hidden Agenda

“Higher Standards”

My solo track “Higher Standards” reflected the desire to rise above challenges. It was truly wonderful to see how sharing the stems of this track with the Canadian artist Neal D. Retke a.k.a. {AN} EeL evolved into an entire album filled with beautiful ambient soundscapes inspired by Pauline Oliveros’ deep listening philosophy.

Interestingly, it also echoed Dawn Landes’ approach of turning Rachel Carson’s birdsong notation into music. Carson, a marine biologist and the author of “Silent Spring”, sparked massive changes in the US environmental laws after the book’s publication in 1962, which ultimately led to the ban of DDT. She had documented bird calls and transcribed a melody of birdsong on a piece of railway stationery from the now-defunct Portland Rose train line. Landes took that melody from Carson’s notes and turned it into music. The album cover of “Higher Standards”, photographed by Neal, complements the music on our collaborative album beautifully and draws yet another obvious parallel to Landes’ creative approach. You might wonder if birds have higher standards than humans. It seems possible – after all, they certainly know how to reach great heights.

“Echoes Through Time”

This archive includes past projects that document my activity as a music producer over the years. It offers a glimpse into my earlier music endeavors (2004-2019) and includes the collection of works as Nova Beat Estate (2019-2022), a production alias that evolved from the eponymous label. Also, the archive includes work from Nierika Productions, a successor to Nova Beat Estate. The previews showcase subjective highlights from both Nova Beat Estate and Nierika Productions, featuring collaborations with various artists, all of whom I appreciate for their contribution to my artistic growth.

Elektro-City-Trio

“Aglada”

It’s interesting to see how things have evolved over time with this project. With one member leaving and another joining, and the added contributions from another artist, this collaboration has been ongoing for almost a year now. Wilfried Hanrath from Germany, Jon Shuemaker from Virginia and LR Friberg from Sweden made this project come to life. Ahrien, the mysterious rapper from Greenland, has also played a part in this extensive collaboration.

Produced by Wilfried Hanrath, Jon Shuemaker and LR Friberg during 2023-2024.

Paul* Hermansen – act

Paul* Hermansen

“act”

Worked on this on and off for about 2 years, because I occasionally felt nostalgic for bass wobbles, wonky beats and lofi atmos.
This schizophrenic EP sits uncomfortably somewhere in between early 2000s UK dubstep and the kind of computer music I normally do.
The last tune is a “proper rinsin” dubstep banger, whereas the rest of the pieces of this EP refract the idiomatic timbres and rhythms of dubstep through an abstracting prism.
Although download is free, please consider paying something, because Saoirse and I are very poor, and in order to make music, we have to eat something.

M-PeX

“Livre”

LIVRE is the new album by M-PeX, a work that celebrates freedom and the essence of being free. With the collaboration of André Coelho on double bass, this primarily acoustic album, enriched with elements of ambient electronics, offers a deep exploration of dialogues and improvisations between the Portuguese guitar and the double bass. Composed of 15 tracks, including improvisations captured in direct take, LIVRE invites the listener on an introspective and liberating journey. Highlights include tracks such as ‘Balada da Costa Azul’, ‘Canto Al-Ulyã’, ‘Cónios’, and ‘Al-Çonik’. Released as part of the PRALAC artistic residency, with edition by Enough Records and artwork by Marco Madruga, this album is a reflection on the importance of freedom in artistic creation, in life, and in the world.

Jazzaria – Convivial Eve

Jazzaria – Convivial Eve

Jazzaria

“Convivial Eve”

Liminal in time and space,
In between a social place –
This is where the eve of Eves occurs.

Civilly inept? Not quite –
But inclined to times of night
When all is quiet save that which reverbs.

Yet when it has a gentle frame,
When those involved can feel the same,
Convivial events can be enjoyed.

Consider those who feel as one,
Separate for many suns –
Reuniting fills a certain void.

Featuring improvised clarinet.

Pablo Gomez Bate – Dinamica Estructural

Pablo Gomez Bate – Dinamica Estructural
[pn234]

Pablo Gomez Bate

“Dinamica Estructural”

Right from the opening bars of the album, prominent, deep, and well-defined bass lines emerge, hinting at the sonic textures to be discovered throughout this journey, accompanied by syncopated pulses flirting with hip hop, IDM, and, why not, nods to urban rhythms.

As the minutes pass, playful elements come to the fore. Samples sourced from various places, such as movies or cartoons, bring a smile to the listener’s face upon recognition, revealing a different musical approach from this artist compared to his previous works. We can also recognize small synths (almost toy-like) that complement the sonic spectrum with subtle textures and melodies, along with other analog elements like guitars that occasionally appear within the soundscape, transporting us to different terrains within the same track.

As we approach the middle section of this work, the path becomes more intricate. The landscapes take on a grayer hue, and the textures surrounding us transform into denser layers, making us pay more attention to the details and pause to contemplate with greater precision what Gómez Bate is proposing.

Finally, we arrive at a more tranquil harbor, with the sensation of having completed a diverse sonic journey, filled with curves and nooks that leave us in a pleasant state of enjoyment, having listened to a well-told story with corners to explore the next time we embark on this voyage.

Cristiano Bocci & Smiltzo – SATOR AREPO TENET OPERA ROTAS
[zen295]

Cristiano Bocci & Smiltzo

“SATOR AREPO TENET OPERA ROTAS”

This is an album inspired by the “Sator square” (also known as “magic square”), a paleochristian inscription found in several places around Italy (the most famous is in Pompei), whose meaning is mysterious even today.

Five tracks; each one of those is a word of the square, and each one consists of five sonic ambients, which are the letters that make up the word itself. Each letter has its own melodic and harmonic content. In order to respect the palindrome pattern of the square, negative harmony was applied.

An instrumental concept album.

“Train to Nowhere”

⚠️ 80% des profits faits grâce à l’achat de cet album seront renversés à une association ou cagnotte pour la palestine !

« Train to Nowhere » est une partie de la soundtrack de mon émission « OddTheater », que j’essaie sans succès de continuer et d’entretenir depuis presque deux ans maintenant. Ainsi, dans le cas où je décide d’abandonner la réalisation de vidéos sur internet, j’ai pris l’initiative de tout de même partager les musiques d’ambiante que j’ai composées et produites pour ladite émission, afin qu’elles ne pourissent pas dans mes dossiers, restant complètement inutiles.

Il n’y a pas de réel lien entre les différents morceaux. Ils peuvent être écoutés dans l’ordre de l’album, tout comme séparément.

Certains morceaux comme Detectives (2), Lost Files (6) ou The Lair (7) sont faits pour pouvoir être joués en boucle.
Par ailleurs, The Woods (4), Silent passenger (5), Lost Files (6), ou Red Hand (9) peuvent être séparés en deux parties chacun. Vous retrouverez en morceau bonus (en téléchargeant l’album), les morceaux 4, 6 et 9 séparés en deux parties. Le 2nd morceau étant divisé en cinq parties, ce serait franchement un peu chiant de toutes les séparer, donc flemme pour celui-là. (vous les séparerez vous-mêmes si vous êtes motivés, les distinctions entre parties ne sont pas si floues)

Enfin, une version acoustique d’Alleviated est disponible en morceau bonus avec le téléchargement de l’album. Celui-ci est entièrement gratuit mais si vous estimez que mon travail le mérite, un achat à prix libre est bien évidemment le bienvenu.

Augen – Driftia Diaries

Augen – Driftia Diaries
[[mi317]]

Augen

“Driftia Diaries”

Twelve years later Gabriel Mendes (a.k.a. Augen) is back. Over this time he hasn’t stopped releaseing and his music is becoming more interesting each time.

Driftia Diaries is a journey into abstract electronics and the result is a complex and even paradoxical musical balance, disconnected and interconnected, fresh and warm, lyrical and strange, all at the same time.

So if you’re in the IDM scene you will find here a remarkable recommendation for a stimulating and captivating musical immersion on headphones.
Bon voyage!!!
