Pablo Reche

“Horizonte”

Pablo Reche – Horizonte
Pueblo Nuevo Netlabel se complace en presentar su release numero 86, cerrando la breve pero interesante cosecha 2013 con el disco “Horizonte”, trabajo del precursor musico argentino Pablo Reche.

Review / Reseña:

“La musica de Pablo Reche es un desafio y reclama un esfuerzo por parte del oyente, un perceptor que vive en una epoca en que existe una gran cantidad de material musical disponible para el publico y en que los modos de escucha se han vuelto fragiles mediante el zapping, los altos niveles de compresion en las masterizaciones y la transformacion de ciertas musicas (por no decir la mayoria), en accesorios tribales sin valor en si mismos.

Este trabajo del artista argentino requiere una escucha activa. No es un material que pueda ponerse de fondo y menos en parlantes mezquinos. El audifono podria ser un dispositivo util, siempre que la actitud sea de atencion y no la de una escucha de acompañamiento para cualquier otra actividad.

¿Pero, por que estos requerimientos?.

Reche nos entrega un pieza que en sus casi 18 minutos y medio progresa delicadamente a traves de zumbidos electricos que tienen una componente compleja, mezclando ciertos tonos con distorsiones. A estos “drones” se suman en distintos momentos algunos materiales de ruido muy probablemente provenientes de grabaciones de campo. El flujo de estas sonoridades es de un desarrollo y fluctuaciones delicadas, pero no por ello escasas. La atencion y su propiciacion mediante condiciones de escucha aptas permitirian una apreciacion del dinamismo de la pieza y, al contrario, una reproduccion donde existan materiales enmascaradores (ruido ambiente, zumbidos de pantallas y otros aparatos), junto con una pobre reproduccion, impedirian la correcta estimacion de todos estos detalles.

Si bien el trabajo se enmarca dentro del habitual caracter contemplativo de Reche, todo ese movimiento que comentamos mas arriba junto con un despliegue en distintos estratos del espectro, nos hace percibirlo como uno de sus trabajos mas consistentes, por supuesto dentro de nuestra acotada opinion.”

“Pablo Reche’s music is a challenge and it demands effort on the part of the listener, a recipient who lives in an era in which a large amount of musical material is available to the public and in which the modes of listening have become fragile through zapping, high levels of compression in mastering, and the transformation of certain musics (though not necessarily the majority) into tribal accessories without value in and of themselves.

This work by the Argentine artist requires active listening. It is not material that can be placed in the background, and even less on paltry speakers. Headphones may be a useful device, but always with an attitude of attention and not to listen as an accompaniment for any other activity.

But why these requirements?

Reche gives us a piece that in its almost 18 and a half minutes delicately progresses through electrical hums that have a complex component, mixing certain tones with distortions. To these “drones” some noise materials, likely derived from field recordings, are added in certain moments. The flow of these sonorities is one of development and delicate fluctuation, but not through scarcity. Attention and its propitiation through suitable listening conditions will allow an appreciation of the dynamics of the piece and, to the contrary, a reproduction where there are distracting elements (ambient noise, hum of screens and other devices), along with a poor reproduction, will impede the correct estimation of all these details.

Although the work is framed within the usual contemplative character of Reche, all this movement discussed above, together with a deployment in distinct strata of the spectrum, makes us perceive it as one of his most consistent works, of course within our humble opinion.”

Various – Dissonance
Finally after months of organising and collecting submissions, the Kahvi VA for 2013 is here. And as its a special compilation, we’re putting it out as the Christmas release for 2013 also. You’ve got a huge amount of styles and artists on this years VA, from 32 tracks combined to over 2.5 hours of quality music. Be warned that the download is hefty at 500MB for the MP3 version, and the podcast is over 350MB itself.

Artists found on this years VA include some Kahvi regulars including Brioskj, 4T Thieves, Polaski, MigloJE, Madstyle and Acrilic Colours and a lot of guest artists bringing some very interesting flavours to the mix. There are ambient tracks along with retro beat driven acid, something for everybody. We hope you enjoy this years VA, and remember the other Christmas releases from 4T Thieves and Reii released last week.

Tracks of choice are too many to mention but for something really refreshing check out Serhio Efremis – Mystery for a real taste of Russia.

Merry Christmas from all at Kahvi!

Radio Libra – Magic Land
‘Magic Land’ is a journey into childish fantasy. The artist’s primary task was to dip the listeners into a beautiful world of fairy tale. It is dedication to novels of Alexander Volkov who made the wonderful world of Magic Land based on Baum’s ‘Oz’. Every track is a trip to different realm of that Land. Godspeed!

Reii – Fixme
The second of the Christmas lineup for 2013 is a welcome return to one of the Kahvi favourites – Reii!

Back from the depths of Russia, we have a five track ep (playing time 30 minutes) of some of the coolest ambient and easy listening tracks to hit Kahvi this year. But of course, you expect no less from Reii!

Some amazing depth features in the tracks, with a slightly ‘imperfect edge’ to the tracks, giving them more of a human feel. Love Is is an epic journey into sound, where sqnc3 is a fantastic look at just how great arpeggios can sound with a master at the controls! Each track is a work of art, so enjoy this fantastic EP before the Kahvi Christmas release 2013!

4T Thieves – The Expanse
As part of the Christmas release lineup, I’m extremely proud to introduce my first ever album called ‘The Expanse’. Completed during the last half of this year, there are 12 tracks of completely new material never before released. A few tracks having been lying around my hard disk for a while which I tidied up and included, but the majority were written for this album.

There are a few different styles – drum and bass with an IDM ambient edge, my tribute to the Commodore 64 and a couple of classic 90s techno sounding tracks (similar to orbital or underworld).

Carlos Suárez

“Fin Da Terra”

Carlos Suárez – Fin Da Terra
Carlos Suárez is, now a days, one of the most interesting musicians exploring the compositional possibilities of field recordings in Spain. His work has been widely regarded as a revelation on how to present processed field recordings as elements of a very bast and complex symphonic music system or language.

Moreover, Suárez has been able to develop something quite bold in the realm of field recordings, this is his ability to have a certain sound identity that defines his oeuvre. Through the usage of silence, textures and noise, Suárez has been able to create a very personal and creative sound world that ultimately becomes a language by itself.

After his acclaimed work “Transit Mundi” (Luscinia 2012) Suarez has been developing that very own language, following that premise, a month ago Exp_Net released “O Tempo Do Desengano” which explored similar accents and phrases such as the ones found on this album but reversing the sound sources. In the album at Exp_Net Suarez focuses on the us e of a modular synth (Doepfer A-100) and here, with Fin Da Terra, Suárez tries to do the opposite, to work mainly with field recordings and just a bit of analogue synthesis.

Fin da Terra is a compositional exploration of sounds gathered in costal areas, beaches, breakwaters and different locations in the Atlantic galician coast, where Suárez currently lives. What’s interesting of this piece is the usage of those recordings and how they have been moulded to become “voices” at the service of Suárez sound language.

Also, Fin Da Terra uses field recordings as a canvas, a surface where to play different experiments and combinations. The soundscapes are relegated and become background to the sonic accents that define Carlos Suárez oeuvre, even, he allows himself to add, here and there, elements such as a modular synthesizer that appears hidden but present if we carefully listen as a reminder of his previous work on Exp_Net.

The overall conclusion is that Fin Da Terra cannot be understood if not listened after “Transit Mundi” and “O Tempo Do Desengano”, all of it form a consequent evolution and exemplification of creative process.

“Remember the clear light, the pure clear white light from which everything in the universe comes, to which everything in the universe returns; the original nature of your own mind. The natural state of the universe unmanifest. Let go into the clear light, trust it, merge with it. It is your own true nature, it is home”.

it will also brighten your path”.

“Music For Toys Meditation”

Gaetano Fontanazza – Music For Toys Meditation
Gaetano Fontanazza, a.k.a. Pseudo, guitarist and musician extraordinaire, offers his first release on Sucu Music, the beautifully entitled “Music for Toys Meditation”. As usual, he explores all of the most extreme and fantastic territories his guitar and his array of effects, musical skill and inventive, can take him (and us) to.
It is a short-length release, clocking off at 25 minutes, where ambient, glitch, noise and soundscapes create a unique aural and emotional experience in the listener. Not to forget some acoustic moments which, unexpected as they may sound, given the profoundly electronic feel of the work, do not appear strange or gratuitous at all.

“Nothing to Fear”

Mood481 – Nothing to Fear
Nothing to Fear is the 8th Mood481 album, composed and produced entirely on a pair of iPads.

Nothing to Fear brought a marked departure from the space-themed ambient compositions of previous Mood481 albums, moving into the realm of abstract, dark ambient exploration that has become the cornerstone of Mood481’s sound. Like many previous works, the majority of the tracks on Nothing to Fear find their genesis in algorithmic and physics-based generative composition techniques.
