Dominik Vogel – Emails from my Future Self
[Wuerfel33]
Dominik Vogel
“Emails from my Future Self”
A new album, then. Seemingly casually screwed together from the wrist. Dominik doesn’t make many words about it:
“The tracks are (as usual) one-take recordings of the modular system, partly also with generative elements.
Often carried by 2 modular CS-80 voices and almost beatless, the tracks on this album are rather minimalistic, emotional and intimate.”
This description is technically accurate, but of course does not do justice at all to the monumental sound and sense spaces of his music. It’s about as if a Cologne resident would say, “Yes, and at Roncalliplatz there’s a big church, quite a lot of stones were laid for it.”
And indeed, Dominik Vogel’s tracks are surrounded by a certain sacral air. On the one hand, because they come along carried and in places dissolving in long reverb tails. On the other hand, because all the titles can be understood as small, spiritual impulses. If you want to.
Of course, you can also simply enjoy the whole thing as ingenious sound play and not be misled by the titles. And yet we have the well-founded suspicion that there must be more than we initially want to perceive.
Great art always holds a secret.

“Paroxysmic Rhapsody [Part 2]”
The Necrophile Hummingbird presents Paroxysmic Rhapsody by rADio eNd. “Dialectic Music for Holistic people”
The origin spark happens while I was reading the notice of that George Gershwin record “Rhapsody in Blue”.
So this album maybe also a kind of experiment in modern music. It seems that in this album there are two points of view on the reality around, first from… an isolated cell, next from.. the subconscious constellation. The album is split in two parts because of this, and also to fit with that time of small attention span.
Where is the synthesis ? Anyway music is worth more than any talk and deeper than any thoughs.
This said it could seems to be a conceptual avantgarde album. Maybe it’s more a primitive recreation of classical music.
My only certainty is that to be free generate more freedom. What you are listening is building up your reality.Our balance balance the world.
May I dream ?
Thanks so much to all the friends who are members of rADio eNd in this album. For the first part long time friend Ben Presto & Planetaldol. For the second part Innocent but Guilty, Tarka & Myrh, Studio 112, Walt Thisney.
And to you dear listener for welcoming our dreams in your reality.

Projection d’un film catastrophe pour annihiler toute résistance.

qui s’inscrit en chacune et chacun, le jour où il née de l’expérience de la vie.
Which is inscribed in every one, the day it is born from the experience of life.
Dans l’amour, il y a toutes les autres émotions, comme en toi, pas d’adversaire,
In love there are all the other emotions, like in you, no adversary,
si tu te diriges tu n’as plus besoin d’exclure, si tu n’as pas peur, chaque chose t’apporte du bonheur, dans la souffrance comme dans la joie.
if you direct yourself you no longer need to exclude, if you are not afraid, everything brings you happiness, in suffering as in joy.
La réalité est une lecture consciente d’une trame non déterminée, nous façonnons nos vies.
Les histoires figées, les livres, les films ou les jeux ne sont que des reproductions extrêmement limités de la vie. Les sacraliser c’est nous condamner à ne pas pouvoir apprécier ce qui nous rend réellement heureux.
Reality is a conscious reading of an undetermined frame, we shape our lives.
Frozen stories, books, movies or games are only extremely limited reproductions of life. To idolize them is to condemn us to not being able to appreciate what makes us really happy.

PIRATE Tapes – A Live Au Sanctuaire
[LCNLP130]
PIRATE Tapes
“A Live Au Sanctuaire”
The Necrophile Hummingbird presents “A Live Au Sanctuaire” by PIRATE Tapes. Last of 2 concerts recorded before and after the first lockdown. A way to show how the spontaneous music that we call “improvisation” is slightly closer of Karlheinz Stockhausen’s intuitive music than of the jazz improvisation. Indeed it’s mostly a live session as we use to do when we record one of our album before split it in several parts and title them as tracks… but with public.
Merely nothing prepared, we plug and play that’s all : total improvisation.

Richey Hackett – The Nightmarist
Richey Hackett
“The Nightmarist”
Following his eclectic opus ‘A Space For Your Dreams’ (released earlier this year on Vulpiano), Richey Hackett continues on his parallel path as an electronic composer with ‘The Nightmarist’. Richey takes ideas and delves into them, skillfully weaving atmospheres throughout his kaleidoscopic chords: bitcrushed echoes, fizzing electrical signals, distorted percussion, and ambiguous vocal samples.
Themes pervade: of digital consciousness as a spirit that haunts, disturbs, and blesses our synaptic essence, of a parallel plain that melds with an ancient and bone-deep wilderness expressed in our occult – a sort of ‘Life In The Bush of Ghosts’.
This is not to pigeonhole it as merely a dark-cyberpunk-ambient album; there is too much sweetness and pathos. The tones deployed are often sweeping and celestial, with everything from a subliminally disquieting music box waltz to anxious techno; and at various times recalling Vangelis, Burial, and Trent Reznor’s solo work. Yet another display of range and sophistication from Richey Hackett.
Words From The Artist:
“I really enjoyed the challenge of trying my hand at something new with You Are Nothing But Light. So making a second collection of dark ambient music felt only natural and this time I’ve tried to make the pieces even more expressive and cinematic.
I’ve always enjoyed ambient music and how much freedom it gives the listener; I may have composed a track with certain images and emotions in mind, but without lyrics to define those things you leave it much more open to interpretation. And I really like the idea of the listener being able to create their own scenes in their minds using your music as the soundtrack.”

Kai Nobuko – Ober Attached
[earthrid-028]
Kai Nobuko
“Ober Attached”
Kai Nobuko is a Dutch musician and producer who has released countless albums (he has definitely lost count!) under his own name and as Toxic Chicken and Covolux.
Kai was recently reunited with his Oberheim OB•12 synthesiser, which he had lent to a friend and then sort of forgotten about. He quickly fell in love with this intrument again, and with this album he presents a sincere homage to the OB•12 in the shape of imagined fantasy “demo tunes”, which showcase what this sky-blue beauty can do. To add to the challenge, no sequencing software or hardware was used. What you hear was played live, in just a few layers of tracks.
Within this dreamy album you might be surprised by what the synth is capable off when treated with love and kindness, but it’s even more likely that you will simply zone out as you find yourself floating away into a cloudless sky, with the OB•12 as your magic carpet.

Wolne Pokoje – Kostropate
[mhrk285]
Wolne Pokoje
“Kostropate”
1: Common quantum physicists’ interpretation and statement is that there is no such thing as matter and what we all call matter, in reality is energy. The whole universe is energy, frequencies, vibrations. What we observe is energy vibrations that are slowed down to a level that is perceivable by our senses and sensors. It all exists thanks to forces which make particles quiver and yet keep the whole system together. Many spiritual or metaphysical things in essence have always been just physics which we have not properly seen and understand yet.
2: “Spaces lost, abandoned, cheated by history and nature have an odd, somewhat surreal charm … When things and places lose the context that gave them function or meaning, you can rediscover them. Useless, even freed in a sense, they gain a specific aura. Not only do we see them as new, but they also turn their surprised sights towards us and try to ask us a question … Sometimes an accidental glance is enough to give in to the force of that place for years. Sometimes a place lives in a person since childhood.” — Katharina Raabe, Monika Sznajderman, taken from the intro to„Znikająca Europa”, Wydawnictwo Czarne, Wołowiec, 2006.
These two contexts were the inspiration for the energy, frequency and vibration of Wolne Pokoje’s “Kostropate”.

For The Glory Of Nothing – Garmonbozia
[UKRec004]
For The Glory Of Nothing
“Garmonbozia”
“Garmonbozia” – an uncanny hidden plot distinguishes the For the Glory of nothing’s EP debut – out on 22nd September for UKhan Records.
It seems that a thin red red red line binds events and pheanomenons apparently not bound to each other; subterranean connections typifying paranoid constructs of alienated conspiracionists and some historical facts that are marked as truth only after centuries, with no more risk of being considered fool just for the fact of whispering about it.
Based on this necessary premise,the purpose of For The Glory of Nothing’s EP Garmonbozia is to tell us that a strong relationship stand between the first nuclear tests in the American desert, the dark ritual of Sexual Magic pursued by Alaister Crowley, Roy Hubbard and Jack Parsons from Ordo Templis Orientis, the opening of dimensional gates, several ritual murders who feed the modern press (some of them happened in the moonless evenings of the Tuscanian countrysides) and UFO phenomena as subtle events of demonic nature, as per the “interdimensional hypothesis” of Vallée, Hynek and Keel.
For the Glory Of Nothing are not alone in believing in this apparent madness, as David Lynch’s Twin Peaks universe seems to refer to the same strong bindings. The purpose of all this is given by the artist itself: “It happens that men divided from their souls secrete the favorite nourishment to the lords of the infrahuman abysses. They know all the secrects of the matter; in an era where every contact with the First Light is cut, the unbearable vertigo eases men to trade with filthy beings.
The four tracks of Garmonbozia offer an oneiric, sophisticated and allucinatory ambient, with tribal and psychotic IDM elements, substained by unsetting industrial grounds. Eerie atmospheres find a vessel into UKhan Records catalog.
“Garmonbozia” will be released on 22nd September 2021 by UKhan Records and will be preceded by the single “Anti-world, overnight” which will be made available from 8th September 2021 on label’s channel

BIOGRAPHY
Due to the fact they are a hidden couple, For the glory of Nothing are forced to stay unkown and unable to perform live. First encounter took place in an extremely confidential context as anonymous subjects; months after, a random detail in the everyday life gave them the chance to recognize each other. Beyond any self preservation logic, they decide to compose something to witness the fellowship of these two souls. They can’t predict anything any further; those who will benefit their works, they will take them as they will be, if they will be and the way they will be.
“Non nobis Domine, non nobis, sed nomini tuo da gloriam”.

Luke Lund – Vaporous Passage
[TERR115]
Luke Lund
“Vaporous Passage”
TERR115: “Vaporous Passage” is a ruminative distillation of Luke Lund’s hypnagogic drone guitar and obsession with fx, dedicated to exploring textural properties and limitations of the EBow.
Inspired by revisiting recordings from 2011, this hourlong improvised guitar journey harkens back to his EBow worshipping “Infinite Sustain” albums from former ambient project Light Overhead, but importantly bears no efforts to purely retrace those recordings a decade later.
Split into two contrary forces, the album opens with bittersweet, swirling vignettes saturated with ferric fuzz — the dreamlike, chiming breeze of “Deliverance From Doubt” arcs to elegant organ-like tones before dissipating away into the glistening, soporific kaleidoscope of “Far Peripheral” — A reprise bridges the warm soundscapes into a despaired flipside of unholy drone — The depleted discord of “First Encounter” paints a monochrome, void-staring picture — The churning phantom rhythm of quasi-industrial “The Ache Beneath” crushes across spiraling walls of doom — The searching album finale floods over with a heart-stricken motif as a closing gesture…
“Vaporous Passage” is a vehement step forwards, revitalising his relationship with weightless guitar by a more mature approach.

Musica Casual – Hegemonias
[pn194]
Musica Casual
“Hegemonias”
“Hegemonías”, the most recent album by Santiago’s Rodrigo Mardones aka “Música Casual”, is an ode to abstraction revealed through 4 small suites that will feed the most unsatisfied needs of contemporary music lovers.
Starting from tools that are not necessarily the latest trend in fashion, Mardones manages to construct a meta-music that is desired by both collectors and addicts to the accumulation of gadgets with little or no talent for the inventiveness that we happily encounter here. The notion of less is more finds its newest exponent in “Música Casual”. It follows in a legacy of stars that have made of electronic music paradises of plenitude. You name them.
A poisonous industrial environment is what the ex-manager of the group “Sintra” delivers in “Hegemonías”, a record that affirms him as a reference point when talking about post-Chilean psychedelia.
Wilder Gonzales Agreda
(Lima, Perú. Agosto / August 2021)
“Hegemonías” (“Hegemony”) is a concept borrowed from the thinking of the Italian philosopher Antonio Gramshi/ we live in full pandemic hegemony/ the question was how do I continue to cross through it/ making music/ yes, with what I had at hand/ obsolete technologies/ a way of being in the world/ at the beginning was all noise/ step by step/ less is more/ while the more restrictions the more music is made.
