Jeff Gburek

“Muqarnas”

“Walking into a mosque one enters into the space of a very strong idea. Although these architectures reflect the human universe of the believers, the principles of their construction obey the laws of the creator of the universe. Walking in a valley, into cave or forest presents an equally strong idea, if one listens carefully. The natural world is also created by an unknown, undefinable creator. The creator, singular or plural, incarnate in the creation of spaces like valleys and forests and caves doesn’t speak our language but what we have of the language of architecture and speech is drawn from the resonance and the laws of such spaces. Listening itself becomes an architecture. We reflect on how and when we listen. Simplicity and complexity convolve an infinite interaction.” — Jeffrey Alan Gburek

OMBRA OBSCVRA

“LA NIT ETERNA”

Memories; under the table.
Hidden object games; at work.
The dialect of a dialect.

Here comes the debut of OMBRA OBSCVRA, a musician from Valencian region in Europe. The artist plays with light detuning, portamento, piano, as if the world was in constant uncertainty. A relaxed base makes it possible to have an overview position, while distant bells of the night offer attention.

Cyff Gwawd – Cyff Gwawd

Cyff Gwawd

“Cyff Gwawd”

Cyff Gwawd is Stuart Estell, a piano, and a couple of barely-functional tape machines. The project draws on his love of Satie, Cage, Feldman and Basinski while also being a logical step from his compositions for drone/doom tuba outfit ORE, which he left in 2014. Cyff Gwawd is named in tribute to Mark Hollis. It means “Laughing Stock” in Welsh.

The pieces on this release started as miniatures, some of the material freely composed, and some of it restricted to sets of just four pitch classes. In performance, however, they took on a life of their own and didn’t seem to want to be constrained to what had been written down — resulting in what might be better described as planned improvisations.

The same side of the same C90 — an old and far-from-clean TDK SA90, naturally — was used to record all four pieces. The older cassette machine’s completely unreliable motor and faulty tape head resulted in some happy accidents (speed changes, incomplete erasure) that would be impossible to reproduce. Apart from EQ, some additional reverb and the occasional overlaying of additional tracks (from the same source material), the only editing here has been structural. Other than that, what you hear is how it… more

t16c

“re”

t16c is a duo formed by underground Slovak musicians. Two friends, Peter Kudlička (16 colours, EGA) and Andrej Nechaj (Tatratank) have been making music for over 20 years. t16c is a natural result of their unceasing commitment to diverse sonics.

“re” is a debut collaborative album of t16c. Post-apocalyptic space exploration, transmitted over lo-fi radio signal back to the Earth. Grid-less, yet pulsating culmination of eerie field recordings, samples, and electronics. Alluring melancholic glimpses of an unclear future.

Sinistra

“I”

Dave & Suzan Vega Combo hit the minds,
bleak winds in the back,
rolling words of wisdom, techno style.

Out of the cold depths new art forms appear.
This year Phonocake presents sinistra,
first digitally, later on tape.

sinistra is a blend of dark ambient, techno and poetry made by
composer Daniel Williams and author Anne Seidel.

“Our aim is to head for the ritual and the hidden, and to open
everything up into a warm sonic and literary darkness. We do
not write or prepare the music for any of the tracks or material.
All performances in the combination of words and music are
improvised.” (Daniel Williams)

02 ocean facile4:13
03 (is the genuine unintentional?) 4:40
04 nada te turbe 4:26

Nicolas Tourney – Ram

Nicolas Tourney – Ram
[BN_LP028_02_20]

Nicolas Tourney

“Ram”

Nicolas Tourney is a french experimental musician and sound designer, also owner of the label Snow in Water Records. With Ram, he offers us an electronic work focused on perception and act of listening, with the use of various sound devices and drones. Ram is a work in-progress with long-sustained tones. Ram submit to the listener some perceptual experience: there would be a “sound” as object of perception and source of this same perception. This held sound that we dress by calling it a soundscape, spacing exploration from the gesture. Look at what draws us to a sound, how listening gets caught up in it, and how it draws our attention to an experience. Ram sounds like a suspense that opens onto interiority. In this silence, the listener finds himself contemplating the act of listening, as if it is the constant noise of natural electricity.

Scenes from Suburbia – Cousin Silas & Candy L

Scenes from Suburbia

“Cousin Silas & Candy L”

For me, it is wonderfully bittersweet to release “Scenes from Suburbia (waag_rel136)” by Cousin Silas & Candy L so close to Candy’s birthday … I’m not sure how old she would have been if she had not lost her battle against cancer and, to be honest, it doesn’t matter … what matters is that the world and our wee community of DIY ambient musicians is considerably poorer for her not being with us.

“Scenes from Suburbia (waag_rel136)” was created in collaboration between the adorably prolific Cousin Silas and Candy, who somehow managed to fit in recording her parts to their album while running a netlabel that I, for one, was equally proud and envious of. Candy’s work ethic was unparalleled, as was her creative expression. The atmospheric expressions contained within this album are truly extraordinary, they are varied and engaging … and serve to remind us how much poorer we are for not having Candy in our midst.

This album was earmarked for release on Candy’s label – Studio 4632 – but wasn’t released due to Candy’s untimely passing. I don’t think I am alone in thinking that Candy would not have wanted it to languish on the digital equivalent of a dusty shelf, Cousin Silas certainly didn’t think so when he offered it to waag. I am proud to give this album a home and hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

A 320kbps version of this release is available here for free with a lossless version available over on Bandcamp for ‘pay what you want’.

Walter Fini + Philippe Neau

“white project”

Spectra collide in synergy in “white project” – the essential result of the continuous collaboration between Phlippe “nobodisoundz” Neau and Walter Fini, which began a few years back. The release comprises of 3 compositions that revolve around the deafening and conflicting relationship that man has with nature, the dominant force and protagonist of our doings. The sounds shine through and envelope our daily lives totally, in a deafening, chaotic way. White as the color, which absorbs everything, which contains everything, wrapped in nothing. White is a sheet, where instinctive sound dimensions take shape, where a simultaneously abstract and concrete vision takes us to the ancestral roots of the human being.
