Brainquake – The Ongoing Sequence Of Events
[mhrk257]
Brainquake
“The Ongoing Sequence Of Events”
“Tick tock tick. Time trickles away softly and time flows off hard, steadfast as ever. Time travel might make you dream off but you cannot stop time or turn back, even if that is your dearest wish. The hourglass is running, at that steady pass, water is flowing, an ongoing stream, and everything we do or did is in the past. Time is ticking and will not stop, not for anyone, not ever …”
Unlike on his debut EP on Mahorka – a trip through abstract territories, blending dissonants and rough waves of emotion rumbling, here on this 9 track album Brainquake explores common songstructures and sounds. Overtones, dissonants and layers still provide that emotional layer but with a softness uncommon for his works. There is even some optimism in the sound palette and melodies? In sound it kind of reminds of those great 90’s electronica/ambient/idm albums we all grew up with but adding that minimal touch and rhythms and some more contemporary production. As a whole this album evolves presenting a changing approach to a constant, common sequence. Variations on a theme but quite diverse. All tracks are at 110 beats per minute and as the ongoing sequence flows on, it showcases the different interplay of underlays and thrifty build up.
As most albums this one is best listened to in full but that doesn’t minimalize the vigour of the compositions by themselves. Take your time and use the strength of repetition. Sleep, snooze, listen, dance to it, it’s ambient, idm, experimental, leftfield, pop and endzeit emotronica as much as it is not.

Gaetano Fontanazza – On A Winter Day
[SCM-2002]
Gaetano Fontanazza
“On A Winter Day”
On a Winter Day, first released for streaming and download in digital stores, is gifted by Gaetano Fontanazza to the beloved Sucumusic so that also the Creative Commons community could enjoy this album of ambient music.
On a Winter Day is a state of mind, where everything may seem frozen to the eyes but not to the soul.
It is that right time to slow down and let the nature and the heart speak.
It is a deep journey where every emotion is dilated.

about
Music which captures the underlying relation between human beings and natural forests: Lifecutter presents his vision in the soundtrack for the short film and research-art installation Sub Persona.
Managing forests is not a subject of everyday conversations, seldom even theoretical thinkings. But for the art tandem PLATEAURESIDUE these topics are the core of their artistic and also research work in which they connect landscape ecology and new media like film and photography and later exhibit them in various gallery spaces.
For the project Sub Persona they invited Domen Učakar to accompany their visual work with the audio setting. Domen Učakar has been performing and publishing music under the moniker Lifecutter for more than six years now and Sub Persona is his fourth album and a second one (after Safe Place – 2016 with Iztok Klančar) which has been made with a tight connection to a strong visual work.
The music captures the relation between humans and forests, which are the condition for life existence on Earth and at the same time an important economic resource. The ambient sonic structures may at first seem to communicate a feeling at peace with the current situation, but as the unnamed compositions progress they unveil the sheer brutality, the suspense of the dead silence and the… more

Carlo Giustini – Colla (Double Album)
[LONTANO-TP06]
Carlo Giustini
“Colla (Double Album)”
Imagine waking up in the middle of the night, looking outside the window and noticing that something has actually changed. The world is still there, it sleeps but it is present, mocking you constantly and slowly showing itself .
Anyway now something seems to cover reality with a thin layer of bright glue, an ambiguous material that hides the features of things and that unfolds the world under a different, bright light.
You walk, this concrete is soft, the walls of the houses are covered with morbid, viscous, beautiful materia.
This world speaks to you, it tells you a different story. You could stay here forever and forget an imposed, harsh past. In this new vision, however, the past coexists, it lives and it embraces you, forever wrapped in a flaming rodeo loop. A giant puppet show put up by family and friends.
“Colla” is a metaphor, a hope for a different dimension, where thought generates tangible content without too much effort.
The streets of Sant’Angelo are now populated by… more

Discontinuation Of Teatment – Far Aay
[IYE39]
Discontinuation Of Teatment
“Far Aay”
A dark electronic lullaby, hidden into us there are a lot of dark realms, and this nightly vision makes them real and noisy.
Second time for Giuseppe D’Aiuto from Savona in our netlabel, and it’s getting better anytime. Darkwave, gothic, maybe blues form the soul.
A travel into our deepest fears and our greatest pleasures, really hurting and really good. Synths from the eighites, reminescens of a past tense, electro visions and a musical impulse to disorder.
A masterpiece for the people that live in the dark, that’s better that their light. A song like Fraternal Twin will change your life.
A special thanks to Giuseppe D’ Aiuto for the music of Discontinuation Of Treatment.

Thuuooom – Natur
[thump324]
Thuuooom
“Natur”
Natur is the fourth proper Thuuooom album, showcasing the more ambient side of Tuomo. As the other full-length album released on the same day (Luonto under the monicker Thuoom) the sounds on this record consist 100% of nature field recordings. The recordings contain mostly birds but you can also hear bumblebees, deer, fishes mating, hints of human voices, small insects, sounds of walking through forest, wind, and windchime. Or maybe you can’t hear them, as the sounds have been mutated into something completely else.
Instruments used on this record: Field recordings captured with a binaural Soundman OKM II Classic Solo microphone attached to a Zoom H4n Pro portable recorder.

The 4 tracks of La réponse des nuages was recorded between February and April 2011 but never published before. This shows the quietest side of the project, focusing on deep drones and simple distant melodies.
