Fabio Keiner makes his debut on Vulpiano with a masterful droning-ambient work – quintessentially meditative, even ominous in its awesome scope. In the tradition of classic ambient it enchants, electrifies and transports the listener into different states of consciousness (if they are willing to give themselves over).
Words from the artist: ‘shiva-rudra’ – a longform ambient dronescape improvisation in honor of lord shiva, ecstatic creator and destroyer god of the hindu pantheon – was inspired to a great extent by the works and theoretical approach of italian vanguard composer and musician Giacinto Scelsi. I owe a lot to Scelsi’s music and understanding of sound; so ‘shiva-rudra’ shall be a modest tribute to his works.
‘shiva-rudra’ is a soundscape to be listened to as entire experience without interruption: eyes closed, ears open
for reference to and experience of Fabio Keiner’s works – now almost a 20 year time-span in ambient, minimalist and drone improvising noise-making, have a look and listen also at fabiokeiner.bandcamp.com and vimeo.com/fabiokeiner
Laurie Akerman’s first appearance with Vulpiano is a deep and broad journey through manipulated recordings that transits through many phases and sonic environments: a Tarkovsky-esque space of peeling paint and trickling water, haunted church ruins, light falling upon a book on a desk, and the amplified expansions of prosaic actions (a phone call, washing dishes) that somehow tease out the quantum threads sprawling outward and therein.
Words from the artist: Wood Ship is a project by Laurie Akerman from the former English post-rock band This Sea Reflects Stars. Creating ambient drone pieces with field recordings and Contact and Electromagnetic microphones, these releases are usually conceptual and have their own ideas and themes behind them.
Hunters was recorded last year and hints at the notion of historical Royal Lodges and their trappings.

Surrounded by and giving life to one of the northern-most, temperate rainforests in the world, the Pacific Northwest’s chalak’At’sit (Hoh River) carves its way from the glaciers of Mount Olympus towards the Pacific Coast.
Close your eyes and let the soundscape of chalak’At’sit envelope you in her emerald, verdant embrace. Layered embers of ethereal tones flicker, then quickly disappear across undulating waves of pirouetting idiphonic vibrations. Thus begins a psychedelic trip through exothermic rainforest-scapes and climaxes nestled in lush, majestic reverie.
Headphone listening recommended, for the sonic details.
The immersive audio-visual trip is best viewed in HD on Youtube:

“TOTEM” is Abu Ama’s most personal and most varied release to date, a heavy trip through his musical ways, moments and directions, a stunning album that has been in preparations and waves of reiterations for almost as long as the earliest incarnations of some of the songs were done and, finally, towards the end of 2021, reached the stable form, monumentized on a limited edition of two c90 tapes.
released December 24, 2021
“Abu Ama’s new album TOTEM is a feast for the ears and eyes. Abu Ama, the driving force behind Arabxo, brings dub, experimental, Arabic and Sufi dub in one. On this beautiful double binding he gives an overview of his work. A beauty of an album. As I have known Abu for a long time, full of dedication, always innovative, he takes this album to an amazing height.” — Pedro Maras a.k.a. BedouinDrone
“Abu Ama is an uprising worldwide artist in dub kind of music but presented in his very unique way and style. He’s giving it many names. Lets point out “arabxo”, as an abstract mixture of futuristic middle eastern scapes, voices and instruments with subsonic echoes of dubbed out bass. Sound manipulations far beyond the known in all its features. New and retrospective sounding at the same time. Messages in pads and atmospheres brought in a dub manner. All tunes recorded in one shot, one version at a time. Far further and further in dub science innovation his own way, Abu gladly represents his gypsy roots and creates his own roots mixture of beats and sounds that takes you on a journey with each tune. Each track has individual soul that can be literary felt from the speakers. Each tune carries different specific message, either spiritual, soul, social, ecological, political or related to many different things of today’s earth life he cares about. Abu is displaying a channel of communication between his soul and you, the receiver, whose radio is set to receive this frequent waves of music. Music at its best. Music representing earth and universe at the same moment. All computer made, all dubs and overdubs compiled and arranged as perfect matter wall of sound. Welcome to the world of Abu Ama and dance till you get excited and incredibly overjoyed with warmth and wealth.” –esoundc a.k.a. Autonomaton

Bobby Jewell is a musician and ambient dj/radio show host on Resonance Extra and elsewhere and “Songs to the cistern” is his artist debut on Mahorka that was assembled and finalised during the last year specially for the label and also comes out as special limited cassette edition.
“This EP is made from scraps of sounds from various harddrives, phone videos, field recordings and youtube links over the past eight years. Stitching these parts together was just as much down to chance as it was intent and any additional music made to accompany serves sunderpin the found sound or sample. Though I hesitate to say ‘scrapbook’ or ‘collage’ hopefully these tracks point more at importance of wearing your influences on your sleeve working with the media that surrounds you rather than stressing your own individuality against it”

The Necrophile Hummingbird netlabel presents The Riviera Suite by Studio 112.
“Impressionist Music for Inner Travelers”.
A kind of out of your daily space symphony, as the title told, a music enough transcendental to transport you into the mythical Mediterranean Riviera.
As a character of Tony Gatlif’s Tom Medina said “there is something magical about this region”. Well put your sunglasses on and press the buton play to dive slowly into this stuffy atmosphere, dreamy but tense as a dental floss …
Studio112 is the main project of Alain Grille also electric guitarist and musicmaker in rADio eNd / Multiple Personality 3 / PIRATE Tapes / EVA Vertigo / TKno BeurK / MK-Ultra
