“Plays Away”

Dental Drill is autistic and so not big on collaborations. However over the years he has cropped up on a few compilations on other labels, sometimes as part of tourmaline hum. We are taking the 10th anniversary of TCFSR on Bandcamp as an opportunity to pull these tracks together to make a complete set of the work of Dental Drill available on the label that he oversees.Many of DDs ‘away’ tracks are from the early days of the Naviar Records Haiku Music Challenge. naviarrecords.bandcamp.com www.naviarrecords.com
The Naviar Haiku is music inspired by a weekly assigned Haiku poem. It is also ten years old this year and is well past the 500th iteration. Dental Drill contributed to five of the first twelve Haiku, and number 131.
Just Around The Bend appears on the first compilation of Naviar Haiku naviarrecords.bandcamp.com/album/haiku-1 and Tilt is on the second compilation naviarrecords.bandcamp.com/album/haiku-2

In 2015 Dental Drill teamed up with Trixie Delight to create the track Urball for the compilation Ursonate on the Institute For Alien Research label. As the title of the album suggests the goal was to create a work of musique concr​è​te inspired by the sound poem Ursonate by Kurt Schwitters.

Fantastique Plastique [Drillmix] is a collage of a work of the same name by Roofhare that appeared on the album of the same name released on the Mobius Spin label. mobiusspin.bandcamp.com/album/mbsspn010-fantastique-plastique

In 2020 dog park invited artists from across the world to create their own track using Furchick’s raw recording of making pancakes in her kitchen. Two and a bit kitchens is Dental Drill’s contribution dogparkrecords.bandcamp.com/album/kitchen

In the days before TCFSR launched on Bandcamp tourmaline hum created the track Strange Appetites for The Sound of FAG ASH Volume three released by FAG ASH Records. fagashrecords.bandcamp.com/album/the-sound-of-fag-ash-volume-three

Some artists from Burnt Seed Records contributed to the TCFSR Solo Word Project compilation EPOCH released in January 2024. In the same month the track 9224 by Dental Drill appeared on volume 3 of Burnt Seed’s annual showcase ‘Sprouted’. burntseedrecords.bandcamp.com/album/sprouted-volume-3

“S​á​t​á​ntangó (Part I)”

Fading Tapes was formed in 2014 by Krzysztof Siwkowski (guitars and synths) and Marcin Lasek (drums and other effects) in Szczytno, Poland, mainly playing space-rock / post-rock and ambient music. Their main inspirations are independent cinema and life itself.

tourmaline hum – choreography

tourmaline hum – choreography

tourmaline hum

“choreography”

The history of The Committee For Sonic Research is entwined with the band tourmaline hum and its precursors. So when in 2014 TCFSR was resurrected in digital form the first thing that we did was to release material that tourmaline hum had self released in our absence.
This included three of four albums, however for some reason their first album, choreography, was omitted.
Thinking back no one can remember why!

The tenth anniversary of TCFSR on Bandcamp seems a good time to correct this oversight.

Vanishing – Corridor Vanishing Corridor

Vanishing – Corridor Vanishing Corridor
[mhrk385]

Vanishing

“Corridor Vanishing Corridor”

Vanishing Corridor is the synthesis of American sound experimenters Kingo Sleemer (Western Maryland) and Chris Campbell (St. Paul, Minnesota).

Campbell has been recording dark ambient/sound collage/field-recorded soundscapes as The Creeping Man since 2017, both as self-releases and on various labels (Hrea’m Recordings, Mono Time, Dub Cthonic, Veinte 33, Preston Capes Tapes, Wormhole World, and Shady Ridge Records), most recently finding inspiration via collaborations with like-minded artists.

Kingo has been part of the experimental music collective Halaka since the late 90s, with whom he’s recorded and released many albums in many formats; he has recently recorded and released music as Allele Cog Experiment, HOZ and Experimental College. He is also a co-founder of Pile Records.

The two share an affinity for the absurd, the obtuse, and the off-kilter.

Vanishing Corridor started as a back-and-forth exercise of sound sharing and manipulation, without preconceived themes or intentions.

The project debuts on February 18, 2024 on Mahorka with a beautiful self-titled cassette release.

Takashi Kusano

“Computer Music Self Portrait 2”

I like techno and I make music. This is the calling card of Takashi Kusano, the new member to join the MiMi Records family.

The delicacy and musicality of this phrase are evident in his musical productions.

Computer Music Self Portrait 2 is an interesting record that revolves around elegant variations of electronic music, as well as an excellent musical portrait of Kusano.

‘Believe’, the opening, is the most environmental track on this 5-track album. A hypnotic theme with multiple layers of synth pads.

Other highlights: ‘Frontier’, a melodic and minimalist slow-tempo slow-techno track that unfolds over 7 minutes. Or ‘Fragmentary impromptu’, one track that shows the artist’s versatility in other electronics.

Without a doubt an album to discover!

“Latent Sonorities”

What might the latent sonorities of ‘traditional’ instruments sound like if their tunings were unlocked for different modernities? Where might the diasporas of trans-Asian sonics intersect and rematriate?

Recorded on September 15th and 16th, 2023 this album features new compositions and semi-improvised work from 8 trans-Asian artists exploring southeast Asian tonalities using traditional instruments, digitized tunings, and sampled recordings.

Thanks to cooperation with Haus der Indonesichen Kulturen – Rumah Budaya Indonesia – Berlin (RBI), select instruments from their Javanese gamelan ensemble were sampled to create Berlin’s first publicly accessible sonic archive of Indonesian instruments and temperaments for electronic musicians.

Following the creation of the sample pack and tuning files, a short residency, open studio, and final performance series of new work using the materials was produced in collaboration with Morphine Raum.

Included with this album download is a PDF booklet where you can get historical background on the instruments and read interviews with stewards, artists, and researchers involved in this project.

The companion site at https://www.latentsonorities.org hosts the sample pack and tuning files recorded and developed by Bilawa Ade Respati and Khyam Allami, an Ableton Live Pack with custom Ableton Instruments by Morgan Sully and Khyam, a Native Instruments Kontact Library, as well as other resources for artists and researchers curious to expand their gamelanic palette.

This open archive has already provoked and stimulated public discourse around the complexities and nuances of musical rematriation, trans-Asian identity, and its political expression through non-Western temperament and tonality.

We hope it serves as a starting point for future exploration of musical cosmologies you may be curious about, a recentering beyond what is sonically inculcated.

This project is co-funded by Musikfonds e.V., Die Beauftragte der Bundesregierung für Kultur und Medien/The Federal Government Commissioner for Culture and Media and supported by the National Arts Council of Singapore.
