Break On Beacons – An uninterrupted flow of images, shapes and colors…
Break On Beacons
“An uninterrupted flow of images, shapes and colors…”
Que d’émoi lorsque deux artistes que l’on a défendus séparément avec d’autres projets joignent leurs forces pour un premier album en commun… et d’autant plus lorsque la réussite est au rendez-vous. C’est le cas de Break On Beacons, où l’on retrouve aux beats le Rennais Valgidrà et aux synthés le Bordelais Innocent But Guilty (moitié entre autres de Wintermute : indierockmag.bandcamp.com/album/rubber ), deux musiciens électroniques dont la collaboration trouve sa source dans les projets de remixes et autres albums collectifs du second, auxquels a maintes fois participé le premier. Ainsi, si Valgidrà suit depuis un bon moment les travaux d’IBG, se reconnaissant notamment dans sa fibre trip-hop/abstract, le patron de Foolish Records a quant à lui découvert la musique de son nouveau compagnon de jeu par l’intermédiaire d’IRM Netlabel, citant tout particulièrement l’album “Watched Watchers” (indierockmag.bandcamp.com/album/watched-watchers) et l’EP “Daily Grinders” en duo avec Konejo (indierockmag.bandcamp.com/album/daily-grinders-ep), tous deux sortis en 2021. D’emblée avec ce projet commun, dont le nom évoque l’exploration de voies non balisées, l’idée de sortir des sentiers battus et en particulier des limites que l’on s’impose soi-même inconsciemment, on est à la fois en terrain familier et dans un inconnu plus stellaire que ce à quoi les deux compères nous avaient habitués jusqu’ici. On reconnaît ainsi les nappes à la fois profondes, sombres et éthérées aux subtils motifs mélodiques d’IBG dont le son a évolué cette dernière année d’un drone massif et radical (cf. le génial duo Anteraks qu’il forme avec le Roumain Uburgründ) vers quelque chose de plus aérien, entre electronica et trip-hop, et les beats à la croisée d’un groove abstract et d’une IDM aux ponctuations sèches de Valgidrà, de même que son sens du sample vocal rythmique, sur le morceau-titre par exemple. Et pourtant, “An uninterrupted flow of images, shapes and colors…” donne constamment l’impression de tendre vers des horizons inexplorés, à la frontière du cosmos et des grands espaces intérieurs de ses auteurs, un album qui largue les amarres vers un ailleurs fait à la fois d’aventures et d’introspection, de moments épiques et d’instants suspendus, de rêves et de désillusions. En un mot : un bijou !—–
ENGLISH VERSION
ENGLISH VERSION
What excitement when two artists that we have published separately with different projects join forces to release a first album together… and even more so when it sounds like an achievement. This is indeed the case of Break On Beacons, where we find at the beats Valgidrà from Rennes and at the synths Innocent But Guilty from Bordeaux (half of Wintermute, among others : indierockmag.bandcamp.com/album/rubber ), two French electronic musicians whose collaboration finds its origin in IBG’s remix and collective projects, in which Valgidrà took part several times. The later has been following the work of IBG for a while, finding common ground in his trip-hop/abstract fiber, while Foolish Records’ founder discovered the music of his new playmate through IRM Netlabel, particularly with the album “Watched Watchers” (indierockmag.bandcamp.com/album/watched-watchers) and the EP “Daily Grinders” recorded with Konejo (indierockmag.bandcamp.com/album/daily-grinders-ep), both released in 2021. From the start, when listening to this joint project whose name evokes the exploration of unmarked paths, the idea of getting off the beaten track and especially the limits that we unconsciously have imposed ourselves, we feel both in familiar territory and at the same time heading towards the unknown in a more cosmic way than expected from the two. We recognize the deep, dark and ethereal textures with subtle melodic patterns of IBG – whose sound seems to have evolved this last year from heavy and radical drone (cf. his brilliant Anteraks project along with Uburgründ from Romania) towards something more aerial, between electronica and trip-hop, and also Valgidrà’s signature beats at the crossroads of abstract groove and dry IDM as well as his sense of rhythmic vocal samples, on the title track for example. And yet, “An uninterrupted flow of images, shapes and colors…” constantly gives the sensation of tending towards unexplored horizons, somewhere between outer space and inner landscapes, an album which casts off towards an “elsewhere” made up of both sonic adventures and introspection, epic times and suspended moments, dreams and disillusionment. In a word : a gem !

Batfinks – So If You Want
Batfinks
“So If You Want”
Batfinks became part of the Caoutchou family since he contributed the track ‘Shamalaalaa’ for the second Rubber Beats compilation back in ’09. 5 years later we released ‘Bibobleyboo’ on our label and early 2016 he sent us new material for an album named ‘Mosisac’. Later that year we heard the sad news that Ste had passed away.
‘So If You Want’ is the lyrical counterpart of the dark, at times unsettling ‘Mosisac’, and this compilation is a collection of mostly unreleased Batfinks tracks. He had been testing , with ‘lathe cut vinyls’, three albums, Dolly, False Fades and Wasps At Home. His family decided to carry on having a few albums made for his friends, later uploading them to Bandcamp. ‘Suzy Said’ and ‘All the Same’ are on the albums because Ste’ had originally released them on cassettes.
‘So If You Want’ is unmistakably Batfinksesque, but we also discover another side of the multi-faceted artist. We’ve heard him sing before, but never on ten tracks in a row – and on such a serious note. Quirky. Multi-instrumental. Eclectic. Absurd. Touching. Out there. Godspeed, wherever you are.
Many thanks and an incredible amount of respect to Chris for contacting us about these unreleased tracks.

Jonny3snareS – Attack, Decay
AOU027
Jonny3snareS
“Attack, Decay”
Wires, knobs, keys, a modular synth rack. Jonny3snareS’ twisted, plugged, pressed his home studio equipment to birth eight braindance tracks in the style of the greats – as one residing in Cornwall should. A blizzard of acid bleeps and blips, pounding drum patterns, good vibrations and a touch of melancholy; a mixture wonderfully crafted for ravers and couch listeners alike. Attack, Decay is just that: it punches your eardrums and dance buttons with shrapnel synth shot and rhythms on one track, then turns things around with nostalgic melodies and more laid-back beats.

Sermons is bolus’s first full length release and originally started as a soundtrack to an imaginary film, but became a composition in it’s own right during production.
It moves from undulating rhythms and samples derived from satanic possession and religious fervour, to organs and the drone – drone-like compositions usually attributed to Bolus.

occasional psychedelic nightcap. A quiet room, with quiet clicks, plucks
and taps over muffled looped up weirdness leaking out of headphones.
Homebrewed beer, hardware and software, all very much alpha stage. Ten
hours of backlog, edited down to thirty minutes of almost music. Staged,
committed and mixed down to a beta version. Served to you over TCP/IP

Christophe Bailleau – Vertical Moon Phase Charm
[mhrk369]
Christophe Bailleau
“Vertical Moon Phase Charm”
“Vertical Moon Phase Charm”, Christophe Bailleau’s debut on Mahorka, is the second album out of his meta-vision of electronic and electro-acoustic music trilogy on the theme of creativity in the face of autistic disorders, following the excellent inauguration “CHUVA ORBITAL : Armadillo Time” on Lotophagus Records. Here the artist again asserts his unique craftsmanship in balancing and naturally blending low-fi and high-tech sounds, acoustic sources and digital synthesis in another powerful, immersive work. “Vertical Moon Phase Charm” notably includes quite the strong and special list of collaborators: A Limb, Stanley Christiaensen, Konejo, Innocent But Guilty and Paradise Now.
“Supradyne” (tracks 3 and 4) exists in a rather different version (and as one-part track) on “Optionnal essentials, vol V” on 3 To The 3rd Music.
Track 5 is based on “Konejo – The Rotten Cycle of Life and Decay (Christophe Bailleau Remix)” released on “The Moodygoer Remixes Part I” on Mahorka.
Track 6 is a different version of the track “Spaceform (free)” in collaboration with Innocent But Guilty for the 413 project on Foolish Records.
“A monument of fluctuating abstraction, Vertical Moon Phase Charm has no known safety measures or possible precautionary principles. A multi-dimensional mutant emulsion, we navigate in turbulent waters, no need to look for a secure anchor. Conceptual chimera, beautifully produced, each track … proceeds through systemic enchantment, it quickly becomes unnecessary to resist – a variant geometry.”
— from Thierry Massard’s review on nocoVision

Singing bowls, field recordings, drones and synthesizers merge into one.
>From a spiritual point of view, the soul is made to vibrate on a sound journey. This can lead to a self-awareness through the intensive perception of the senses.
Healing sounds are intended to bring the body into a deeply relaxed state so that it can let go and reorient itself and rearrange itself.
During the application, the soul should be cleaned and freed in order to be able to recharge your batteries.

Matt Jah
“Enlazador De Mundos”
It’s a pleasure to welcome the talented Italian DJ and Producer Matt Jah to our family! His debut EP “Enlazador De Mundos” brings us 3 original groovy downtempo tracks, with remixes by our dearests Kadum and Kika Deeke.
Inspired by travels between Mexico and Bolivia “Enlazador de Mundos” is an Ep that takes its name (the one who unites the worlds) from the Maya Toltec culture. “Isla de la Luna and Isla del Sol” two songs that try to evoke the environments and vibrations of the two islands that bathe the titicaca lake. Suggestive places that could almost seem from other worlds.
In this work Matt Jah tries to combine analog electronic sounds and acoustic instruments, environments and natural spaces with unexplored dimensions, reality and dreams, a timeless world described by music.
With a continuous and careful research into ancient and ancestral that blends with electronic and psychedelic. Matteo La Motta (Matt Jah) is always looking for new sounds. Accompanied by his voice, guitar and some synths, his musical research goes into organic textures and tribal rhythms that try to evoke inner rituals and deep emotions.

LYNN NANDAR HTOO – Jamadevi
[YESNO 107]
LYNN NANDAR HTOO
“Jamadevi”
Jamadevi is a meditative composition consisting of 6 tracks produced by Myanmar sound designer, Lynn Nandar Htoo unmasking the brutality of the political event that happened in 2021 in Myanmar through her sentiments of sound designing & storytelling. Lynn Nandar Htoo’s EP explores minimalistic tones overlapping syncopated Myanmar traditional percussions that creates a hypnotic effect – slowly transitioning into dronelike territory synchronized by subtle noises & glitches. Fascinated with traditional tunings and compositions that resembles her Myanmar cultural traditions, Lynn Nandar Htoo integrates the rhythmic essence of Nat Pwel, a ritual that is led by a queer character into haunting ambience depicting the alienation that many has felt since the condemned political event. Jamadevi is an enigmatic piece of electronic music work that yearns to form dialogues of displacement between sound & the effects of politics through her intricate compositions.
Lynn Nandar Htoo is a sound designer, composer & music producer based in Yangon, Myanmar accomplished in both the realm of filmmaking & electronic music. She explores Southeast Asian tuning systems and scales through modern music technologies and was chosen to be part of South East Asia’s music research development by Nusasonic & »Listening to the World – 100 Years of Radio«, an initiative of Goethe Institute.
