George Christian – Longes

George Christian – Longes
[mhrk235]

George Christian

“Longes”

“This album is the first work I’ve done in 2019 and also part of a series of instrumental works that reflect upon absence in different ways, in a pentalogy. All of them expresses what I felt after the latest political misfortunes in my country (Brazil) and overall social-political state of mind in the world. In “Insomniac Dreams” – the absence of rest and sleep to convey life in its existence. In “Antimanicomial” – the absence of sanity in its helplessness in a political system that doesn’t give a care. In “Duets for Balogh” – the absence of a friend, despite his presence in sound conversations. In “Cinzas” – the absence of care on nature, a mourn for dead rivers. And this, “Longes” is about absence of faith. However, there is no particular order, nor any sound similarities for this pentalogy, despite being linked thematically. “Insomniac Dreams” was the first published one, but “Longes” was the one recorded first, with later-on finalizations.

”Longes” is my second work in which I play electric guitar (a Telecaster) as a main instrument (first one was “Electric Ramblings” (2014) in most of the tracks). It was conceived as a series of variations on the final motif from the coda of the song “Muito Mais Longe do que o Bastante”, which was originally recorded for the album “La Géographie sans Regret” (2012), made in collaboration with Mehata Sentimental Legend. In this album, I explore on electric guitar both timbral and electronic experimentations whereas the themes are extended without regard on time and space, despite having their own implicit structure. Apart from the last track (X), the pieces were all improvised in their performances. Somehow, it’s a spiritual manifesto on struggling for survival, in electric mantras; against all odds, a life-affirming statement.”

Mariano Rodriguez – Huesos Secos

Mariano Rodriguez – Huesos Secos

Mariano Rodriguez

“Huesos Secos”

We are very pleased and grateful to share Huesos Secos (Dry Bones), by Mariano Rodríguez through Carbono Proyecto Records. The idea has been brewing for a long time now, but as we know, in our sound, musical and self-managed projects, if we have anything, it is the freedom to let the processes flow until the ideas and personal planets align.

It’s been already four years since we last published a disc by this guitar artist-craftsman-monk based in Bariloche for a couple of decades. It was Praise the Road, first edited by the American label Grass-Tops Recordings and currently available through his own bandcamp. Anyway, he frequently participates in various compilations that range from the experimental to specific tributes such as the recent one to Jack Rose, another of Mariano’s acoustic guitarists of reference.

In many ways inspired by the logic of the “American primitive guitar” (a term that designates a “transitional” genre according to Wikipedia, to which a legion of guitarists from pioneer John Fahey in the 50-60s, through Leo Kottke, Robbie Basho and the aforementioned Jack Rose until today), Mariano Rodríguez’s music does not focus on the technical deployment of the guitarist, but on the more spiritual or meditative dimension of it. And in connection with all this, although not as conditioning, of course, his deep Christian faith intervenes since his adherence to the theology of Third World liberation. Listen for example to Liberation Theology for beginners, described by him as a Christmas album.

Somehow the tracks that make up Huesos Secos synthesize the mental and sound journey that Mariano started with his family in southern Argentina. This experience was also rooted in half of his life living in Buenos Aires, forming part of different rock and punk bands, and projects with the excellent singer-songwriter Adrián Paoletti among others. But without a doubt his current music is an inseparable part of a Patagonia that he has made his own, resignifying a whole set of influences, which finally act as tools to establish a back and forth movement with his perception of those places of the Argentine interior and its story.

Teeth Of Divine – Act I – Genesis
[mhrk228]

Teeth Of Divine

“Act I – Genesis”

“This album is a long-standing exploration of the juxtaposition between physical presence and mental boundaries that emerged during the creative process. Our bodies are matter physically present in the present reality, but our psychic capacities can be distanced, reaching parallel inter-temporal spaces. They aim at creating internal and external associative representations between presence – happening – reflection directed at the senses. The immediate primal feeling in one present is lost or renewed, disappears or reappears after nothing is the same again.”

aaahhchestra

“Bralitz Vol. 1”

The music you are listening to was recorded in the last week of August 2012 in Bralitz/Brandenburg, Germany. That year, there wasn’t a Braaahhlitz Festival yet, just a small concert at the end of the week. So there was plenty of time to play music.

The basic tracks with guitars, drums and bass were mostly recorded live, on a stage in the old railway station’s former waiting hall. After that, the musicians from the aaahh-records family contributed their parts. No boundaries – there is soul infused pop, folky acoustic songs, quirky raps, and beautiful melodies.

Monplaisir

“Un jour je saurai”

A delicately lo-fi offering beaming in from the banlieues of Paris. This sequence of free-improvisational drones and dark chamber pieces seem to be channeling haunted memories of the fin de siècle via a dusty apartment mirror: wintry, intimate, and melancholic.

Lavoura – Ayizan

Lavoura – Ayizan
[foot282]

Lavoura

“Ayizan”

Formed 16 years ago, Lavoura is a reference in future jazz made in Brazil. The group debuted two more songs, after a series of singles started in 2018. “Ayizan” is the first single. Climatic, the track brings in its DNA the Brazilian rhythm and the psychedelia, amplified by the arrangements and the accurate production, that confer a certain epic tone to the sonority, without losing the characteristic groove. The other single, “Bossa Exploitation”, refers to the anthropophagic research involving African music. It is the result of impromptu sessions that the group held between 2017 and 2018. Integrated by composers, producers, arrangers, beatmakers, musicians, visual artists and inventors, Lavoura makes a cinematic sound, referenced by the rhythm science and inspired by the concepts of phusion (fusion of the 21st century) and psychogeography, transform spaces in sensory experiences).

[ST005]

Юродивый

“Fallen Expectations”

Project made by polish, Warsaw based anonymous artist.

The sound of юродивый is closely related to the emotional side of everyday life in a modern world. Acoustic piano recordings combined with electronic instruments and samples are the main components of the atmosphere of this project.

The name юродивый means the fool for Christ which was one of the main models of the sanctity in the Russian orthodox catholic church. Foolishness, emotions and disappointment are the three elements which gave life to the “Fallen expectations” – debut release of this project.

The three productions were recorded during one night studio session in winter 2018/19.

Dave Schoepke – Before Black And White
[djummi.015]

Dave Schoepke

“Before Black And White”

Before Black and White is a song exclusively written for drumset, which definitely provoke usual listening habits kindly. His percussion instrument becomes a storyteller. No longer convinient drumbeat, but sounding drums. Dave causes the drumheads to oscillate, so that you inevitably start to pause and pay attention.

The inspiration for single spawns from the thought, that black and white photography was the first real step in the direction of mass documentation of humans to where we have gone to today and reminds one that those things that we hold so dear are not permanent. Like us. Humans focused more on life and living it back then and less on documenting it like we constantly do today.

[VULP-0146]

Lately Kind Of Yeah

“Sturm und Drang”

Lately Kind of Yeah – Sturm und Drang (VULP-0146)

Part of the Lately Kind of Yeah archive series.

Sturm und Drang is a greatly improved and expanded Storm and Urge, originally released on Vulpiano back in 2011. Awash with noise but still so sweet, and perhaps one of the warmest, coziest releases LKOY’s discography.

Words from the artist:

“Marking a start to the singer-songwriter transition, I went away from sequencing synths and into learning how to sing. It was ultimately influenced by relationships and usually from the perspective of ‘me to you’, but its turn-around was that I always sang them to myself. Despite drowning most lyrics in delay and noise, it only mattered if I knew what they were. This was my practice of reminders and rewiring.

There’s always been recordings from each cycle that sang and latched onto other people, giving reason into sharing the music at all, but that did eventually mutate why I liked to record. Once anyone else heard my voice, it wasn’t really mine anymore.”

En décembre 2017 nous avons enregistré, lors d’une session live, les dernières pièces instrumentales de Tintamare.
À cette date, l’idée était de faire une petite pré-prod pour un futur album. N’ayant point l’idée que le projet s’acheminerait vers une fin si proche, nous offrons aujourd’hui ces enregistrements, sous la forme d’un E.P. conclusif très Lo-Fi, très cru et très instrumental.
Voici donc les toutes dernières compositions de Tintamare afin qu’elles fassent aussi parties de la discographie.Merci pour le support et toutes les années. À tous et à toutes.
