Fabio Keiner

“Hymne an die Nacht”

‘this album is a tribute to the fascinating work of romantic poet Novalis – each track a poem of Novalis rendered with the exellent generative software ‘chant’ (which transforms each letter into a single tone to render it into chords and melodies) at www.waterplea.com.
I hope you enjoy the musical interpretation as much as I enjoyed reading the poems.’

Markus Masuhr

“The Dub Theory “The Last Chapter””

In ethereal echoes, roots find their way,
Beneath the veil of night, they gently sway.
Through enigmatic depths, they spread and roam,
Resonating whispers, finding their home.

Celestial dubscape, a symphony divine,
Nebulous rhythms, in cosmic design.
A dance of stars, a celestial ballet,
Harmonizing galaxies, light years away.

In tranquil resonance, the worlds align,
Subterranean pulse, a heartbeat so fine.
Through layers of earth, the secrets unfold,
A mystical journey, ancient and bold.

Amidst the unseen, where mysteries lie,
Roots and rhythm touch the sky so high.
With every pulse, with every breath,
A cosmic dance, life’s song and death.

In the depths below and skies above,
Nature’s harmony, forever in love.

Lonerist

“Attic Dub Demos”

in the depths of dub’s embrace, echoes play,
A journey through delay, where shadows sway,
Safe spaces found within each sound’s bloom,
Apothenia’s release, a soul’s cocoon.

Project Zero, a canvas to explore,
Breaking chains of time, forevermore,
A captive of time’s grasp, seeking light,
In endless nights, stars guide our flight.

In Chapter Houses, secrets intertwine,
This brain on dub, a mystical shrine,
Destiny dub, the beats align,
Ripchords of fate, intertwine.

Locked in syndrome, mind’s voyage untamed,
Dream logic dances, reality maimed,
Amidst the long goodbye, we find our way,
Lost in rhythms, where dreams sway.

[Insectorama162]

Davor Tosovic

“Dark Forest”

In the depths of the dark forest’s embrace,
Where shadows dance with mystery and grace,
Stands a night house, cloaked in eerie haze,
Whispering secrets of forgotten days.

Within its walls, a haunting octave range,
Unveils melodies that speak of change,
Like chords that vibrate through the silent air,
Echoes of a timeless, ethereal affair.

We are this way, seekers of the unknown,
Roaming through the forest, not alone,
Drawn to the enigma, the mystic allure,
Where secrets dwell, untamed and pure.

In the dark forest’s depths, we find our home,
Where night and day forever interweave and roam,
A symphony of whispers, ancient and profound,
As we dance to the rhythms of a world unsound.

XYIZ

“Basal Alignments”

In the night, the streets come alive,
With the bassdrum’s pounding drive.
Chords in 4/4 for the floor, they soar,
Guiding our souls through the city’s core.

Echoes dance with delays, whispering low,
As melodies bloom, like stars aglow.
The bassdrum pulses, a rhythmic beat,
A steady heartbeat on the city’s heat.

Through the night, we wander, hearts aflame,
Lost in the music’s hypnotic frame.
The streets embrace us, a nocturnal stage,
Where dreams and passions intertwine on this page.

“Staring into Oblivion”

From the eg0cide Productions release notes:

“We welcome back long time contributor John Beers aka Luciftias with a new album of subtle droning ambient, featuring contributions of his cousin and collaborator Caleb Beers. Like most of their work, Staring Into Oblivion is based on guitar sounds, often heavily treated but more recognizable on some tracks here – always hypnotic.”

Fields Ohio- Don’t Stare at the Sun When Your Hands are on Fire

Don’t Stare at the Sun When Your Hands are on Fire

Fields Ohio – Don’t Stare at the Sun When Your Hands are on Fire

Fields Ohio

“Don’t Stare at the Sun When Your Hands are on Fire”

LINER NOTES

Bien que moins souvent à l’honneur dans nos pages que d’autres projets du New-Yorkais Eddie Palmer (citons Cloudwarmer, Aries Death Cult ou feu The Fucked Up Beat en plus de ses albums solo), ce duo plus acoustique et psyché qui l’associe à la multi-instrumentiste et vocaliste Christine Annarino fait preuve d’une belle constance depuis une dizaine d’années d’existence, avec une quinzaine de sorties au compteur, pour l’essentiel en long format.

Déjà auteurs cette année de l’excellent “Valkyrie”, typique de l’univers des Américains entre trip-hop mystique aux accents world music, downtempo-patchouli densément arrangé et touches electro hédonistes, on imaginait les Fields Ohio persister et signer dans leur admirable pré carré Ninja-Tunesque (de la belle époque) avec cette suite. Loin s’en faut ! Si “Don’t Stare at the Sun When Your Hands are on Fire” se décline au gré de la double-hélice d’un ADN désormais bien connu, il donne également l’occasion aux deux musiciens de se réinventer avec subtilité. Les rythmiques ici sont souvent plus feutrées, les textures plus oniriques et gorgées de reverb au diapason des nappes de synthés scintillantes d’Eddie, les lignes acoustiques et vocales de Christine fondues dans l’ensemble avec une homogénéité toute particulière, les mélodies presque serpentines et d’une fluidité qui évoque l’eau, élément omniprésent sur le disque.

Souvent inspiré par la contemplation de la rivière Hudson que surplombe son appartement new-yorkais ou par ses sorties au bord de l’océan, Eddie Palmer y trouve en effet matière à se concentrer sur le présent, autre thème central de l’album. “Don’t Stare at the Sun When Your Hands are on Fire” sonne ainsi comme un rappel à l’ordre que l’on se fait, dans ces moments de chaos que la vie nous réserve : affronter les problèmes un à un, un jour après l’autre, sans se préoccuper de trop d’un futur encore lointain et abstrait. Autant de sensations – ligne d’horizon, impermanence et abstraction – qui président à cette superbe collection d’instrumentaux au groove impressionniste et hypnotique.

ENGLISH VERSION

Although not featured in our website’s columns as often as other projects by New Yorker Eddie Palmer (including Cloudwarmer, Aries Death Cult or the late great The Fucked Up Beat, in addition to his solo albums), this more acoustic and psychedelic duo associating him with multi-instrumentalist and vocalist Christine Annarino has shown great consistency over the span of its ten years of existence, with about fifteen releases so far.

After dropping earlier this year the excellent “Valkyrie”, representative of the band’s signature sound somewhere between mystical trip-hop with “world music” elements, densely arranged downtempo psychedelics and hedonistic electronic touches, we imagined that Fields Ohio would go on with that “great Ninja Tune era” trademark with its follow-up. Not exactly though ! Even if “Don’t Stare at the Sun When Your Hands are on Fire” remains consistent with that henceforth well-known DNA, it also gives the two musicians the opportunity to subtly reinvent themselves. The beats here are often more subdued, the textures more dreamlike and bursting with reverb in tune with Eddie’s scintillating synth pads, Christine’s acoustic and vocal lines melt into the whole with more homogeneity, and the melodies’ fluidity evoke water, an omnipresent element on the record.

The contemplation of the Hudson River from his New York apartment or his outings by the ocean indeed help Eddie Palmer to focus on the present, another central theme of the album. “Don’t Stare at the Sun When Your Hands are on Fire” thus sounds like a reminder, in these moments of chaos that life has in store for us: facing the problems one by one, one day after another, without worrying too much about a still distant and abstract future. So many sensations – the horizon, impermanence and abstraction – which preside over the impressionistic and hypnotic groove of this impressive new collection of instrumentals.

Moki Mcfly

“Tabernacle Sanctuary Alligator Soufflé”

Moki Mcfly describes “Tabernacle Sanctuary Alligator Soufflé”, his 7th blocSonic release, as “a token of creative cross-pollination, assimilating influences from a multitude of origins”. That hits the nail on the head. A culmination of years of influences and experience, the new eleven track album is a sonic joy to listen to.

Moki goes on to say “At its core, the driving force of jungle and drum and bass forms a rhythmic foundation that propels the sonic narrative forward with an invigorating cadence. The interaction between these varied components cultivates a layered auditory experience, the intrinsic swing and bounce derived from Memphis rap harmoniously converge with the pulsating energy of electronic rhythms. Intertwining the resonant harmonies reminiscent of the soulful era of the 1970s. These harmonies evoke sentiment, weaving an emotional tapestry that resonates across time. It serves as a conduit between genres and decades, evoking a sense of musical nostalgia while breathing fresh life into the sonic landscape.”

So whatever you do, be sure to download and listen to this fantastic new album. Please enjoy & spread the word.

Moki… thanks for another incredible album! You never disappoint.

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!
