Cat: ST015
Biocym is an artistic project from southern Italy that seeks to awaken emotions by expressing its feelings towards reality and the use of atmospheres and scenarios reflected in its sound.
The main nucleus of his work reflects the attitude that man must embody in order to move in a dark and inscrutable reality that he must face when he inevitably explores it.
Biocym represents the way in which the artist approaches the way of awakening in himself by contemplating the infinite variety of landscapes of reality and proposes his progressive deepening.
His music is the meeting point of his two influences: natural sounds and those other sounds generated by his creativity.
「近年、京都アニメーション作品に影響され宇治市に聖地巡礼を重ねるうちに、現地そのものに魅了され、「この景色を音に収めたい」と胸に抱く様になりました。
写真や動画、あるいは京アニ作品のブートレグに収めるのも良いですが、ここの空気の美味さは収めきれないでしょう。音にすることでいつでもその間宇治に帰れると思いました。
2019年11月にフィールドレコーディング後、暫く音源や制作に手つかずのまま、時勢は思わぬ方向に進み、遠い場所が更に手の届かない遠くへと離れていってしまいました。ようやく2020年3月に全ての収録曲を完成致しました。
この作品はアンビエントミュージックとして、リラックスした環境で楽しんで頂けますが、特に、このご時世で行きたくても行けない、帰りたくても帰れない、そんな方々の元に寄り添えられれば幸いです。」

Late-night mystery abounds in this enchanting new single from Brevyn.
Words from the artist:
My current projects are under various delays, so here’s something from my backlog (January 2018). I was inspired by the look of city windows late at night and early Mount Kimbie.
Haze takes you to a trip with
Substak’s hypnotic,dark & drone sounds from previous releases

Words from Kaelin Bougneit:
Devon and I recorded this (almost) entirely improvised record in short, scattered sessions in early 2019. There was essentially no planning between us and no communication between our equipment, and I think the tenuous, spontaneous nature of that was liberating for both of us. For the first half of this album I focused mostly on guitar and granular resampling; the last half is mostly vocal improv, all within Ableton Live. Thanks for your ears.

Words from Devon Ford:
My part of the project comes from a 9U/312HP Eurorack built around drones, granular synthesis, tape splice/samples, and heavy modulation. I knew I wanted to get into this style when I was first introduced to the sounds of Lustmord. I have always been into crazy psychedelic music as well, so the sound takes on a mix of dark ambient and psychedelia.

In times of social revolution against an abusive economic system, in a Valparaíso that does not yield to brutal police repression, there is also a strong cultural response to this unpopular government that does not listen to any slogan. The artistic expressions that confront this whirlwind of state violence are varied, contributing with creative beauty influenced by the social movement, and it is there where electronic music is also present.
Javier Moraga is one of the most important representatives and diffusers of this musical style in the Valparaíso region. Week after week he delights us with records on his radio program “Sala de Máquinas” (Room of Machines) on the radio Valentín Letelier, broadcasting on the modulated frequency of the “V Costa”, new albums by producers of national and international electronica. His musical knowledge is vast, he has publications in the most important Buenos Aires netlabels such as Modismo and Epasonidos. Furthermore, as a sound technician, we can affirm that his new album “Violence is in the air” leaves no doubt about his great musical experience. We will listen to nine songs that cross the sounds of ambient, glitch and experimental, with great sonic amplitude, expressive frequencies, varied and enveloping samples with a clear avant-garde tendency both musically and conceptually, understanding that, in Chile, today more than ever there exist winds of profound social change.

Doctrina Natura
[Spain]
Format: Digital
Release Date: April 13 2020
Cat: ST014
The Doctrina Natura’s project was born at the end of 2017, with the need of experiment with instructive, organic, hypnotic music, a sound intimately linked to nature. Ambient, experimental, slow techno rhythms and the influence of ethnic sounds, is what best captures this project.
This album represents fantasy and mythology through sound. Reading a book is imagining stories through words. In music, those words are transformed into sounds; this is a story to be told through the sounds.
>From the shadows stands, oh Queen of ghosts, Goddess of Sorcery.
Protective of the roads, observer, guardian of the crossroads.
Goddess of the three forms, bearer of keys, maker of light and darkness.
Half goddess, half witch, the moon and fire coexist there.
Guardian of the woods, connoisseur of magical plants, priestess, healer.
THE CULT TO THE TRIMORPHIC HÉCATE
Random Gestures is an exploration of organic and spacial textures emerging from controlled and uncontrolled (random) processes. Soundscapes are «carved» out of landscapes of field recordings and sonic textures, with asynchronus parts and overdubs that creates micro melodies and unexpected bits. Improvisation with piano and acoustic guitar.
Tracks were recorded in 2019 using tape and tape loops on Tascam 414 mkII and Marantz pmd221, OP-1, Organelle, VCV Rack, Ableton and Max For Live, Avalanche Run, guitar, piano (Labs and Lekko) and field recordings.
The album is mastered by myself at a very basic level, so please listen on a good stereo or on decent headphones.
Thanks for listening !

The music of WHΛLTHISИEY here is served with the usual tones of his ambient compositions, which, except for the exceptions, are generally piano based, accompanied by drone soundscapes, which in this Mahorka debut for the artist were developed further into noisier territories, yet containing even heavier calmness.
Sounds of noisy guitars stand out around and through the slow reverberating piano flows, presenting an environment more dense and obscure than usual that provides a solitary soundtrack to nowhere, really an aural pilgrimage with no destination in time and space.

WHΛLTHISИEY is Fernando Cerqueira from Lisbon, Portugal
In a noisy and chaotic world, many of us are looking for calmness or emptiness. And when we finally find some pieces of silence, we understand that they are not empty at all.
Nicolas Lafay aka Noise Ladder presents “Noise is color in silence”. Behind this name, there is a series of releases, each of them consists of a cassette tape with original artwork and a digital version. For every new release, a new artist is invited to propose a visual universe for the music of Noise Ladder.
Jeanne Van Monckhoven, a French artist from Bordeaux, has drawn 4 gorgeous cassette covers for the first issue, so 4 copies of the tape are available.
The music is downloadable for free.
