Max writes: “My father was deeply passionate about music, physics, general science & socialism – all passions which I not only share, but which have shaped my life in ways that are impossible to understate. This track is dedicated to him with love.”
“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.”

The album “Cells for Replication” by Yadak immediately captures attention, generating a deep emotional connection from the body, primitive and animalistic. Its sound envelops and invites the listener to immerse themselves in an existence that flows in waves, awakening profound states that are increasingly restless and connecting with internal places that express themselves in intimacy. I can’t separate it from the image; it moves, transitions, evolves, it carries you… As I listen, oscillating landscapes slowly unfold, swaying between stillness and darkness, then gliding towards crystalline lights and fluid pulses. Yadak‘s sonic gestures manifest in imaginary landscapes, full of texture and color. I feel as if I’m traveling through time, traversing vibrant and diverse atmospheres that are almost palpable. At certain moments, the music emerges with a hypnotic intensity, shifting tones and providing sharpness and timbral brilliance even in the darkest segments. That contrasting luminosity of textures resembles a glow that sparkles in a deep blue twilight. The chiaroscuro is ever-present, carried by mechanical impulses that convey a sense of different spatial planes, with a manifest intention to take us on the journey to the end.
“Cells for Replication” obeys nothing more than its own emotion, and it drags you through time with determination. The music permeates attention, generating an immersive sensory experience, playing with images of our era, human beings, life, and artificial intelligence. It’s impossible not to feel the territorial vastness it proposes, situating the physical sensation in this subtle yet robust imaginary landscape. The rhythms carry you forward, anchoring a precise point of contemplative stillness while awakening memory. As I approach the end of the album, an image appears in which the sea is close. In my mind, I can almost imagine what it would be like to immerse myself in it. I breathe deeply and ponder the question: how can one not be carried away?

This mixture of climates with apparent sequences is very well coordinated, there is a profound sense of melancholy with sparks of light, as if to say that you can still float and see positive things in a dark ocean.

Lunetta is a modular synthesizer built using mostly digital logic chips.
All of the Lunettas are unique and different, because they allow creative and irregular ways to patch them up, since they are mainly made out of CMOS chips and allow completely different ways of modulation compared to analog electronics.
Lunettas share their specific tonal character, which is a complex pulse modulation, rich in high frequency harmonics, making them sound alike. The differences come from individual design and the chosen chips resulting in sometimes quirky or unpredictable behaviour.
Lunetta’s nametag comes from Stanley Lunetta, who was a classical and experimental musician. He is thought to be the first one to bring cheap digital logic chips to the table for making electronic instruments usually used in avant-garde music.
This album is a compilation of home, studio and live performance recordings, with a home-made Lunetta synthesizer, sound effects and feedback loops.
Breezy beats and relaxing reflections inspired by listening to Beachy Head Radio. https://beachyheadradio.com/
Most of these tracks were recorded in one go, as inspiration struck. The bass, core melodies and rhythms were created on the Teenage Engineering Pocket Operator 33, to which was added a sprinkling of sounds from other gadgets, and samples of Kai’s own voice for percussion purposes.
Toxic Chicken is Dutch musician, composer, visual artist and all-round good egg Kai Nobuko. Besides being a keen listener to Beachy Head Radio, he presents one of the music shows on BHR, ‘Funderground’.
Vulpiano Records is proud to present a sprawling chronicle of the transcendent compositions released through the label during 2022, including Netlabel Day, by our generous and talented collaborators for a singular listening experience.
There is a continuous sonic motif of the sublime, and the possible impressions within contain multitudes: time and place, knowing, chaos, Gaia, the vastness of space, death, life, suffering, nirvana…In the long traditions of drone and ambient music, it is a canvas for the listener and an acoustic salve that opens channels new and subtly re-wires our senses.
Breathing out while listening, you sense the artists vaporizing and reshaping the rubble of the last few years – gifting us precious moments to do the same.
The label will likely be on hiatus for the rest of 2023 while we regroup and ascertain where to go from here.
