founded in april 2012 by macarena montesinos and niet f-n and based in spain, 23RedAnts is a cello/electronics duo who try to explore new territories between free improvisation, glitch music, and noise.in their first two years they have collaborated with different musicians and released four digital albums available for free download. they also collaborate with other artists such as dancers, visual artists as well as performing live during art exhibitions.

pablo orza is a self taught multi-instrumentalist from galicia, spain, primarily working in free improvisation. in 2003, he collaborated with parto duo to create the centro de novas tecnoloxías do pico sacro (TPS) – an artist collective interested in real time creation.

their first album for pyr consists of conversations that took place between cello, electronics and guitar. macarena, niet and pablo documented the conversations in 2012 and organized them into three volumes that all relate. the sound is micro, patient and highly fluid.

Free Variety Theatre

“Galactic Anatomy”

Free Variety Theatre was founded in early 2013 by Alexander Cutteridge and Daniel Moschopoulos as a vehicle for online collaboration—initially non-realtime distance collaborations with likeminded artists on SoundCloud. We have already established working relationships through attentive offline collaboration with musicians and producers in North and South America, Australia and throughout Europe, and have recently extended our outlook into the realm of tele-musical internet performance.

In parallel to our collaborative efforts, we have, over the last year or so, been developing and refining more conventional modes of improvising (namely playing in the same space and time). “Galactic Anatomy” is FVT’s first collection of recordings featuring the two of us playing alone. We have cautiously defined the genre as “techneurotic jazz”. The main intrigue/challenge from the outset has been to convincingly integrate improvised performance on traditional acoustic instruments (piano, electric guitar, trumpet) with digital electronic devices (laptop, samplers, analogue modelling).

bristophe

“die ersten zwei kirchen”

bristophe is an improvising duo that consists of brice catherin (from france, based in geneva) and christophe schweizer (from switzerland, based in germany). between them they play instruments like: cello, trombone, a bit of electronics, tuba, a touch of clarinet, plus e.g. recorder and other flutes, double bass, alpine horn, voice, bird calls, a few toys, etc. occasionally the two meet in one place, and that’s when sound happens.

their second album for pyr, die ersten zwei kirchen, is another two disc set – this time documenting two sessions of improvisations that took place in two different churches in germany and switzerland. to explore these spaces, the duo used: strings, brass, church organ, piano, harpsichord, clavichord, and the alphorn as well as their voices, electronics, birdcalls, and little instruments. as always, listen carefully.

Basciano

“Le 7 perle di Belzebù”

The electroacoustic opera “Le 7 perle di Belzebù” by Fabrizio Basciano (Lamezia Terme, Italy) is divided into 7 movements preceded by a short overture for piano solo . The work is inspired from the book “I racconti di Belezebù a suo nipote” of the armenian philosopher and mystic George Ivanovitch Gurdjieff. About the work of Gurdjieff, Basciano selects 7 by more than 40 chapters and attempts to transpose a musical key philosophical and conceptual content of the same. The work is recorded at the studio Lante Records and is edited by the Associazione Culturale Lante Arte. With this work Basciano fully realized, for the first time, his musical ideal, a very well-balanced fusion between electronic nature and derivation of orchestral timbres. There are also a whole season the timbre of an ethnic nature, such as the sitar, lute, turkish, the native american flute and other instruments belonging to various cultures and music systems far. A long research for harmonic sense, with musical atmosphere as hot as ethereal, much sought after because, in fact, unique. Along with the search for harmony looming experiments on several other fronts, from the tone (which was mentioned above) to the rhythmic, from the linguistic to the inherent sound synthesis, the latter side on which the author of leads a long and painstaking. This opera was performed at Teatro Politeama di Lamezia Terme on June 3, 2013 and by request of the artist composer, now officially, released in Nostress Netlabel.

“Calls and Echoes”

Well, Kai Engel didn’t just sit around doing nothing at all. That kind of person can’t afford to. So, what is his brand new album like? It’s pretty much a soundtrack to a movie that never was and never will be. Yet we can get a glimpse of it by exploring the palette of sounds and listening to every note closely – there are landscapes and images, characters and stories, scenes and moods. There are calls and echoes. So, after all that film probably does exist.

“Button Box”

Button Box” is a collection of 46 mixes constructed from elements taken from the Linear Obsessional album “Air Buttons” by Richard Sanderson (LOR046)

“After releasing my album of melodeon and electronics improvisations, I decided to ask my friends whether they would be interested in reworking any of the material- ‘Please take any music at all from the new release (“Air Buttons” by me) and do what you want with it – mangle it, remix it, add things to it, sing over it, play a duo with it, slow it down, turn it into a tune, cut it up, whatever. BUT please make your contribution EXACTLY TWO MINUTES LONG’.
I was astonished by the reaction- soon sound files were flying at me from all over the world, including from friends of friends of friends, as well as from people who I’ve known since school days- collaborators from my post-punk days, free improvisers, morris dancers, other Linear Obsessional artists, even my next-door neighbour! The results are amazingly varied in style – and all are fascinating, and of course, none of them outstay their welcome.
So- enormous thanks to all my friends in the UK, France, Spain,Ireland, Sweden, USA and Malaysia, you have made me very proud”
-Richard Sanderson 2013

All tracks include at least some elements taken from the album “Air Buttons” by Richard Sanderson.

“le fils de la prophétesse”

bristophe is brice catherin and christophe schweizer.

they play instruments like: cello, trombone, a bit of electronics, maybe some tuba, a touch of clarinet, plus e.g. recorder and other flutes, double bass, alpine horn, voice, bird calls, a few toys, and whatever else they come across that might produce some type of sound.

they improvise.

they are half swiss living in hamburg (germany), half french living in geneva (switzerland).

occasionally both halves meet in one place, and that’s when sound happens.

their first album for pyr, le fils de la prophétesse is a two disc set that clocks in at over two hours. the first disc contains almost sixty miniature improvisations the create a whole. the second disc is more long-form, but the two relate as one.

Carlos Suárez – Fin Da Terra

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.

“We Are Forever”

“Dawn breaks up behind the eyes, where sun doesn’t shine”. We Are Forever goes out to all those emotive experiences that let us dream, that went deep into ourselves and that we’ll never forget. Things that we want to keep close or need to get rid of in order to escape from ourselves. A caress. A consciusness. A drop of eternity lost beneath our souls. Sebastian Love’s 4th ep.
