Bon-Psy – Cursed Life

Bon-Psy – Cursed Life
[07]

Bon-Psy

“Cursed Life”

On his latest release, Bon-Psy promotes empowerment of the mind, or at the very least, the notion that we all have the ability to control our own negative thoughts.

Cursed Life begins in a bleak state of affairs, murky pianos fill the space whilst a poignant commentary details the mental challenges people face in their adolescence. With this, Bon-Psy sets the scene, and provides insight into his own circumstances growing up.

As the track progresses, we are exposed to a variety of moods and styles. Bon-Psy navigates this gloomy world he has manifested, exploring its depths and finding glimmers of hope intertwined with jazz infused Electronica.

The closing stages of Cursed Life suggest a newfound sense of power. The once disheartening commentary now appears imbued with a fighting spirit, suggesting to the listener that they have the power within themselves to control and appease the mental anguish that plagues them.

“Many times in my life I have felt cursed. On my worst days, the mental anguish of just being a human, and the trials and tribulations associated with it feel like too much of a burden to bear. At some point in our lives we are all destined for a degree of extreme hardship, sadness, depression, anxiety, death or despair, and it can appear at times that as humans we really are cursed in that sense. We find ourselves lost in these states, and digging ourselves out of that hole is a task too big and monstrous to even begin contemplating. But Whilst the world can be daunting and cold beyond measure, you as an individual have the facilities and resources to make your life better. You can get yourself out of those states if you do everything within your power to do so. Take control, move towards a better existence, as there’s something to be said, to know that you’re the sort of creature that can look mortality and catastrophe straight in the eye, and nonetheless, stand up.”

Lhas Fawn – Numb Terra

Lhas Fawn – Numb Terra

Lhas Fawn

“Numb Terra”

Lhas Fawn is a new artist to Vulpiano, bringing an intoxicatingly vast palette of tone and noise to a musical dialect recurring throughout the label’s history. There is a sophisticated progression to these drones, pulling in synths and rock instrumentation, with each track trailblazing an utterly distinct character.

When listening, one feels the deep reflectiveness of living in a depopulated area on a cacophonous globe. Whether with hints of Fawn’s home range of Finland or the neo-noir frontiers of the Western US, we see boreal forests and semi-arid plateaus stretch out before us, with nothing but twinkling lights on the distant horizon and a universe of sound emanating psychotropically from a device in our pocket.

Words from the artist:

“The music on this album came about through the months of spring and summer. For a long time i’ve been interested in music that sounds like it has it’s own living ecosystem. The more you listen to it, the more you hear different elements and particles, how they react to each other and co-exists in the beautiful chaos.

I let the sounds linger, build up on them, sometimes destroy them and morph them into different species. An adoration of the bloom, decay and preservation that i see in nature.”

Laptop Kid – 4 Shades of Medusa LP

Laptop Kid – 4 Shades of Medusa LP
[rod010]

Laptop Kid

“4 Shades of Medusa LP”

Despite what the moniker suggests, Laptop Kid is no newcomer on the electronic scene.

Over the last twenty years we have seen him work on a number of EPs and albums – often distributed for free on his website or lately on his bandcamp page – under several pseudonyms that allowed him to explore a very wide range of styles.

We had been talking for some time about resurrecting Rodoid to give some of his most recent work the exposure it deserved when he submitted a four track EP that we instantly recognized as the next recording we wanted to release.

We were impressed from the first listening, as it sounded very clear to us that the countless influences that had so far been compartmentalized in a plethora of different projects had eventually been digested and carefully combined into a very personal and coherent musical aesthetic.

The initial four tracker was later expanded into a full album, and we are very proud to present you the first LP ever released on Rodoid.

Over the course of a forty-minute ocean themed journey, Laptop Kid leads us through carefully crafted electronic landscapes where experimental beats meet ethereal atmospheres, and where glitchy textures coexist alongside organic elements as well as the occasional obscure film sample.

The opposites frequently collide in the most beautiful manner, and despite the abundance of influences at work, the album flows seamlessy, delivering a mature and coherent artistic vision.

Enjoy the ride, and come back craving for more.

Luis Marte – Space Mobile

Luis Marte – Space Mobile
[pn197]

Luis Marte

“Space Mobile”

To be in a state of resolve toward art means that the ways of approaching form or sound are always changing, beyond what could be called a style or a habitual manner of creation. It is this doubt that drives curiosity and determination to venture into unknown fields.

The music of Luis Marte in recent times has been prolific and now, with the release of “Space Mobile”, we find ourselves face to face with one of his many outlooks, in which he moves away from the nature of machines and dives headfirst into digital processes.

We begin to hear a theme in which time is a diffuse entity that is paused before taking course. Sound speaks more of volumes and places than of events, where what we hear can be recognized with physical and tactile references.

The city resounds like a specter. All this to place us in a sort of canon, in which its two stories modulate a haze with blows, interruptions, and knots.

The third piece features the collaboration of Pablo Reche. Together they create a series of rolls in which the grains of noise contract and disappear. Changes are outlined before the shapes and timbres of things.

Time keeps ticking, the reverberation becomes the pulse and a piece of techno places in order that from which almost everything has been subtracted.

This work forms a reconstruction of the environment, as if the processes were a lens for looking at things again from another place. Thus, all the information and data to which we are exposed day after day is transformed into material, in which the sonic conception of Luis Marte digs to reveal the light of isolation and singularity.

[mhrk289]

Per Scelstak

“Tentativas Frustradas”

TENTATIVAS FRUSTRADAS (Failed Attempts), Sept. 18th, 2021

“Sometimes you get bored with yourself and, simply, want to get rid of your old life. In pandemic times, such thing is easily possible when you feel in such a bore in lockdown, in isolation. Per Scelstak came into existence when George Christian felt disgust with himself and, also, with the way virtuality has become something exploitative in his life.

In fact, Per was born only as a pseudonym when he sent a concert piece for a competition (for which he didn’t win or earn anything). The secret behind his name can be found in contemporary classical music composers: Per Nörgard, Giacinto Scelsi and Walter Smetak. Influential to the mind behind Per, a certain guy whose last name is Pereira? Quite possibly. Per has only gained an image, though, when his creator felt in a real distress, in his personal life. Per killed the past social profile of George Christian, which was too revealing of his thoughts, too personal, too disastrous to be reached, too naïve. Per is the result of George’s anger against the way personal life is treated in the virtuality, by the social networks. Nowadays, Per is in conciliation with his creator. But not for so long.

Per is different. Per never talks in 1st person. Per is never personal. Per can be read here, or not. You might not understand why such distance, but probably you are closer to him. More than you imagine. Per is another face of reality that wants to be in the realm of different senses. And the reflection of such persona is in his music.

It took a long time to George Christian figure out the existence of Per. But Per has been following his steps since the days he decided to experiment only with electronics in his 3rd album, Three Dimensions of Unrecognizement and Other Unknown Reaches. Maybe he can be found in Exílios 3. Per can also be found in Secretos Universos. His real debut, though, is with two other crazy fellows from India: Hatiyar and Hazardnaut. Per is George into electronic extremities.

TENTATIVAS FRUSTRADAS is the first album under Per’s name and a sum of principles that have been guiding his electronic experimentation. In fact, this principle is just a single surrealist one: automatic writing. Per is completely ignorant concerning on how a machine language operates. Per IS a machine. Per IS a computer. Per IS nothing.

These pieces can be understood as inner failures. No songs, no hooks, no melody that can be easily sung. It requires a real deranged mind to deconstruct and build another world. Per is no strange to post-minimalism, post-spectralism, post-jazz, post-rock, post-psychedelia. His electroacoustics comes from the inwards of MIDI and tone colors’ researches to the spontaneous structural architectures.

Per is NEVER quiet. His brain listens to several voices and do not find peace in a single one. Per embraces all the voices. Heaven, hell, purgatory. Per has been in all of these places. He invites you to dance with your wrist and dry yourself into the waters. His manners may be of electronic, artificial gestures. But what he delivers is plain and pure reality. Cruel REALITY. Your nightmares should be dancing.”

[Eg0_253]

Failure Circle

“Frozen Clinamen 8”

Frozen Clinamen is serie of works by Failure Circle (a solo project of Kecap Tuyul) started on autumn 2017. It follows a simple method inspired by the the possibilities of his no-input mixer set-up (and sometimes other modular set-ups) and the will to use a limited sound material in a posteriori compositions : all the sounds included in these works are recordings of moments that feature no human intervention. Frozen Clinamen #8 was recorded and mixed between february 2019 and september 2021 using the Neutron analog synthesizer as only sound source.
Methodology
step (1) Tweaking the set-up until it produces some seemingly autonomously self-sustained sound sequences.
step (2) Stopping tweaking, then recording for at least 20 minutes without any intervention on the set-up.
step (3) Repeating steps (1) & (2) several times.
step (4) Using the generated sounds as only source in a posteriori compositions. The only variations used while mixing are equalization, panoramics and volume levels.
step (5) play it at low/high volume with open/closed window while complety asleep / fully conscious.

[EEM062]

Ilsól

“Sarmata”

Sarmata is an analysis of emotional concepts that do not give in to any intuitive format of explanation.

A few years ago close members of my family had tragically passed, several dear relationships had been severed and multiple toxic ones established eventually leading me to a complete breakdown.

With nothing else but wonky synthesizers and impractical sound design choices to keep my company an idea to rip out the heavy emotional background noise that I experienced daily was born.

Through audial exploration I managed to return to my child-like self, along with values I thought I had scattered along the way.

I leave this with you as a monument to the time I believed to be the dawn of my being.

Fractales Multipolares – particulas secuenciales de un Octubre electrico

Fractales Multipolares – particulas secuenciales de un Octubre electrico
[pn196]

Fractales Multipolares

“particulas secuenciales de un Octubre electrico”

A Fractales Multipolares sonic epiphany/experience

“There is no Brian Cox-style smiling mediator to console the listener, nor any daft simulation of alien invaders or meteor attacks. Just an immense suspension of light and sound, not cool, not cold, not warm. Their very relationship to time and place, their evocation of those distant corners of space that always existed and always will, irreducible to melody or narrative, accounts for their timelessness.”

Excerpt From: David Stubbs. “Future Days.” Apple Books. Pages 497-498.

I remember sitting beside a small stage at Universidad Católica de Chile’s music school auditorium. In front of me, a 24-channel mixing desk, panning and amplifying an impressive array of synthesizers, rhythm machines, effects, cables and keyboard stands stacked in front of an eager audience, ready for a “sonic epiphany”. It’s a “Fractales Multipolares” concert, booked as part of the second “Voltajes Aleatorios” synth event, curated by the homonymous Foundation. I’m still holding the mike I introduced Renzo Torti-Forno and Guillermo Morán with to a crowded space. The experience starts slowly, mysteriously: “guttural”, unaccurate. Metallic sounds take over the first minutes of the concert. Machines warming their transistors, microchips, and circuits up for performance. Slowly, but persistently, a thick, fat, subtle sonic palette takes over the entire auditorium, wrapping us around.

Electronic dinosaurs awakening, roaring in large numbers, delivering a varied sonic palette (once again!). Electricity takes over the auditorium and us, attentive listeners identifying and vibrating with the landscapes, textures, sonic atmospheres, subtly, accurately mixed by the synths. Shrieking, elated sounds coming from those machines, resonating with their surrounding sonic range on us all. These experimental surfaces by “Fractales Multipolares”, Renzo Torti-Forno and Guillermo Morán, took us on a textural, atmospheric trip, reminiscent of the 1970s Tangerine Dream. Torti-Forno and Morán painstakingly set up a huge collection of synths and rhythm machines on that small stage before, just to play it in front of an excited audience, yearning for the event to come.

Around minute eight, a low, reverberant wave emerges, filling up the place and setting us on an thick realm: melodies, rhythms, moving in slow intervals, reappearing along different scales; a dense, powerful journey for the listener, result of the experienced link between machines and the two synthesists. Sound history echoes old school step sequencers, invoking that glorious, epic Tangerine Dream, Klaus Schulze Berlin scene to the experienced listener.

While listening to “Fractales Multipolares”, it is worth bearing in mind that, according to Wikipedia, a fractal is “a rough or fragmented geometric shape that can be split into parts, each of which is (at least approximately) a reduced-size copy of the whole”. We can find this particular geometry in Nature itself. Multipolarity points to an absence of a center or unity, favoring diverse poles of action, imaginary and ideology. A multipolar fractal, then, is a geometric experience that acquires a fragmented and irregular quality in a diversity of poles of action, no center needed. An infinite repetition of different scales. Considering this definition, it contains a repetitive, irregular, fragmented reverberation that, as the quotation above suggests, generates a relationship with time and space, an evocation of those distant corners of the universe that existed and will exist forever, irreducible to any melody or narrative, accounting for the timeless character “Fractales Multipolares” melodies, leads, and sequences presented that 2019 evening. Towards the end of almost 35 minutes of music, a synesthetic, angelic image brings us closer to pop, Air-like structures, calling and sonically opening those doors, delivered by additive sounds from a Seiko DS-250 synthesizer. It feels like entering the sky, driven by high-quality, deep atmospheres, a soft, but steady rhythm, presented at the end as a mysterious whole before the applause, like briefly meeting an entity that, despite my efforts, I’m not able to describe.

Listening to this only performance (by now) by this learned, fragmented, repetitive duo, opens up a multiple experience, meeting a complex and vigorous palette, connecting different synthesizers, rhythm machines, and effects styles, techniques, treatments, taking us through ambiences in deep darkness, opening up the ether of Heaven. But this experience, beyond possible visual projections, is multi-sensory, “the kind of music you saw as well as heard” as David Stubbs states in his book Future Days. Krautrock and the Building of Modern Germany (Faber & Faber, 2014) dealing with Tangerine Dream -an important “Fractales Multipolares” reference-, who developed a unique sound palette using modular systems, sequencers, effects and tape hiss, a language “that drew on a wider, academic training rather than simply looking to hone iconic postures of rock attitude.” (excerpt from: David Stubbs. “Future Days.” Apple Books (492)).

My experience is over, while I remember and listen to the audio file again, an imaginary and synesthetic meeting in mind, but, alas, unable to figure out what it is made of. We just rejoice ourselves in the powerful, different, necessary delivery that, at times, stays away from both a certain rhythm and the usual genre frames, raising up glimpses of a multipolar, multi-referential way of understanding, feeling and making synthesizer music at this southern end. I can remember that sonic epiphany now because of this recording. “Fractales Multipolares” delves into strange regions, not included in Chilean cartophony or sonic maps, but roaring to get on the scene. The invitation is to make yourself comfortable, turn the volume up and travel freely through this sonic landscape!

Dominik Vogel – Emails from my Future Self

Dominik Vogel – Emails from my Future Self
[Wuerfel33]

Dominik Vogel

“Emails from my Future Self”

A new album, then. Seemingly casually screwed together from the wrist. Dominik doesn’t make many words about it:

“The tracks are (as usual) one-take recordings of the modular system, partly also with generative elements.
Often carried by 2 modular CS-80 voices and almost beatless, the tracks on this album are rather minimalistic, emotional and intimate.”

This description is technically accurate, but of course does not do justice at all to the monumental sound and sense spaces of his music. It’s about as if a Cologne resident would say, “Yes, and at Roncalliplatz there’s a big church, quite a lot of stones were laid for it.”

And indeed, Dominik Vogel’s tracks are surrounded by a certain sacral air. On the one hand, because they come along carried and in places dissolving in long reverb tails. On the other hand, because all the titles can be understood as small, spiritual impulses. If you want to.

Of course, you can also simply enjoy the whole thing as ingenious sound play and not be misled by the titles. And yet we have the well-founded suspicion that there must be more than we initially want to perceive.

Great art always holds a secret.

Brevyn – Seahorses

Brevyn – Seahorses
[VULP-0204]

Brevyn

“Seahorses”

Electronic composer Brevyn’s latest platter for Vulpiano and landwalkers everywhere is a compilation of older recordings, themed around aquatic tone colors and ambiently-oriented rhythms.

An established connoisseur of library music and videogame soundtracks, Brevyn fully explores this ethos as applied to the strikingly exotic and delicate environs that hum beneath the waves: short motifs (pale crabs clustering around a hydrothermal vent, seahorses weaving through coral forests) that are beguiling in their own way, but are generously reproducible and can be imagined as BGM in a video installation, its walls a wide projection of bioluminescent jellyfish.

Words from the artist:

Seahorses is a dive into the strange, alluring yet often creepy ways of marine life. Being my second archive release, these are songs I made back in late July (2, 4, 6-10, 11, 13) and December (1, 3, 5, 12, 14) of 2016. #11 is download-only. Given that I previewed many of these songs over the past months it’s become a compilation of sorts.

My inspiration was a mix of Spencer Nilsen’s Ecco The Dolphin music, ocean-themed library music like Eric Vann’s Water World and quirky old space-age/lounge. A particular riff actually reoccurs in about three tracks, somewhat like a library record or soundtrack. I was obsessed enough with this idea of ‘aqua lounge’ to make a companion mix of these influences for Vulpiano: http://www.mixcloud.com/camp_fr/vulpiano-records-12th-may-2021/

Note:

I might suggest using headphones here. Tweaking such old tracks for publishing was a very drawn-out and frustrating process that I underestimated, so I still don’t feel too satisfied with the mix on certain tracks/sections. If you notice a glaring / distracting flaw then, you could always specify it to me.

Louis Lingg and The Bombs

“>…checking system… disruption detected…”

Today, we’re thrilled to finally bring you “>…checking system… disruption detected…”, the fantastic new album by Louis Lingg and the Bombs! An album packed with catchy hooks and massive punk tunes. LLATB have always found a way to bridge the punk spirit and sound with a pop appeal and this album is no different. Anarcho-Pop has never been better! The stress of the past year and a half with its shutdowns and political divisiveness brought out a fire in the band that resulted in them firing on all cylinders. Tune after tune grabs you and refuses to let go! After teasing you with the 3 singles we’ve released so far, we’re psyched that you finally get to hear the whole album! Oh… and be sure to check out the album on streaming/digital outlets like Spotify and Apple Music for a great cover of Charli XCX’s “Break The Rules”. Anyway… we hope you enjoy the album as much as we have been. If you do, spread the word!

Yo… Louis Lingg and the Bombs… WOW! What an incredible piece of work! Thanks for making your first album for blocSonic such a masterpiece! Many, many thanks also goes out to Stranger Wolf for the album and single art! It’s fun to be able to present all the releases in such a cohesive visual identity.

Of course, thanks once again to you for downloading & listening. We always strive to deliver the music you’ll love. Please spread the word about blocSonic, if you enjoy what we do. Remember… everything we release is cool to share! Always keep the music moving… share it… blog it… podcast it! If you’re in radio… support independent music and broadcast it!

Minuk – Aurora Remixed

Minuk

“Aurora Remixed”

“I have known Alejandra (one half of Minük) for many years, back from her days with Lulacruza and she always struck me as having one of the most beautiful voices in our scene. I’ve been lucky enough to work with her over the years on different projects, from Lulacruza’s participation in the first Birdsong album to collaborative tracks like ‘Corazón de Rubi’ and ‘Mirando el Fuego’.

When I heard Aurora, the debut album by Minük (the duo she formed with husband Marcus) I instantly asked if I could do a remix but not of one track… the whole album! It is rare when you have the opportunity to work with such finely crafted, quality and beautiful material. As a producer, this project was a dream and, luckily, Ale and Marcus agreed to the idea. The whole album happened effortlessly and I think there is just a fit between my own production style and Ale and Marcus’ songwriting, singing and instrumentation.

The album is meant to sit side by side with the original, showing the tracks in a new context, reimagining them for a sound system or a dreamy dancefloor without straying too far from the original intentions.”

El Buho, December 2020

“We started working on Aurora, right after meeting in Bali in 2016, while we were touring with our personal projects (Lulacruza and Markandeya). The making of the album was a deep journey of weaving our musical landscapes into a single tapestry of sound.

Aurora took us three years to complete, with production seasons in Peru, Ecuador, Bali, India, Sweden and finally Colombia. During that process, we had a strong intuition about collaborating with El Búho, and even gave him a raw version of “Corazon de Rubi” in 2017, which ended up being part of his debut album Balance.

We have been fans of El Búho’s melodic sensibility and deep sounds for years now, and its a true honor to have him work on this material for a full-length album. In many ways, El Búho’s version of Aurora is a true expansion of our expression.“

rADio eNd

“Paroxysmic Rhapsody [Part 2]”

The Necrophile Hummingbird presents Paroxysmic Rhapsody by rADio eNd. “Dialectic Music for Holistic people”

The origin spark happens while I was reading the notice of that George Gershwin record “Rhapsody in Blue”.
So this album maybe also a kind of experiment in modern music. It seems that in this album there are two points of view on the reality around, first from… an isolated cell, next from.. the subconscious constellation. The album is split in two parts because of this, and also to fit with that time of small attention span.
Where is the synthesis ? Anyway music is worth more than any talk and deeper than any thoughs.

This said it could seems to be a conceptual avantgarde album. Maybe it’s more a primitive recreation of classical music.
My only certainty is that to be free generate more freedom. What you are listening is building up your reality.Our balance balance the world.
May I dream ?

Thanks so much to all the friends who are members of rADio eNd in this album. For the first part long time friend Ben Presto & Planetaldol. For the second part Innocent but Guilty, Tarka & Myrh, Studio 112, Walt Thisney.
And to you dear listener for welcoming our dreams in your reality.

Nous connaissons les émotions qui palpitent en toi.
We know the bursting feelings in you.

Animal en cage dans une société d’esclavage.
Caged animal in a slavery society.

Nous te comprenons. We understand you. Nous sommes avec toi. We are here with You.

Nous sommes un appel à la vie.
We are life. Life is calling you.Listen the call of life.

Pulsations qui franchissent l’espace et le temps,
Pulsations from beyond time and space,

pour atteindre celles et ceux qui dorment derrière leur écrans.
For reach those asleep behind their screen.

Nos clameurs percent les ténèbres.
Our clamors break through the darkness.

Nous ne sommes pas des étoiles lointaines.
We aren’t distant stars.

Nous sommes les étincelles originelles,
We are the origin sparks,

qui cherchent à entrer en contact trying to get in touch avec toi. with You.

Nous sommes ta part d’humanité qui cherche à te réveiller.
We are your humanity core trying to awake.

L’humanité aveuglée s’est condamnée à la peine capitaliste.
The blind humanity condemned itself to capitalist punishment.

Blessure mortelle qui ravage cette terre.
Deadly wound which ravages this earth.

A travers leurs barreaux virtuels les prisonniers entendent nos musiques étranges.
Through their virtual bars the prisonners listen our stange music.

Ils pensent à une hallucination, alors que c’est ce qui leur semble réel l’hallucination.
They think of a hallucination, when it is what they think is real the hallucination.

Leurs cerveaux l’ont construite pour supporter la dure réalité de la prison de fer.
Their brains built it to face the harsh reality of the iron prison.

Déconnectés de la vie, Disconnected from life, ils sont bombardés d’informations, they are bombarded with information, comme on gave les passagers des avions transcontinentaux, like cramming passengers on transcontinental planes, pour oublier la mort qui guette. to forget the lurking death. Programmés à se soumettre au dictât du profit et de la dette.
Programmed to submit to the dictates of profit and debt.

Nous étions les rêveurs de ce monde, ce que nous rêvions prenait forme.
We were the dreamers of this world, what we dreamed of came to life.

Le poison injecté dans nos cœurs nous a fait croire que nous étions incapables.
The poison injected into our hearts made us believe that we were unable to do so.

Le pouvoir occulte nous a volé le pouvoir de la création.
The occult power has robbed us the power of creation.

Sur ce qui était un jardin, il a étendu l’uniformité du béton,
On what was a garden he extended the uniformity of concrete,
une science sans conscience, des lois et des dogmes pour donner l’illusion que tout est sous contrôle. A science without conscience, laws and dogmas to give the illusion that everything is under control. Jusqu’à ce que tout soit sous contrôle. Until everything is under control.

Projection d’un film catastrophe pour annihiler toute résistance.
Projection of a disaster movie to annihilate all resistance.

L’humanité a été condamnée le jour où elle a accepté cette sentence comme une fatalité.
Humankind was doomed the day it accepted this sentence as fatality.

Nous sommes nos propres bourreaux chaque fois que nous portons un jugement.
We are our own tormentors whenever we judge someone.

Nous exécutons la sentence chaque fois que nous oublions l’amour.
We carry out the sentence whenever we forget about love.

Chaque fois que nous renonçons à la liberté.
Whenever we give up to freedom.
Il n’y a pas de savoir à transmettre, pas de solution, autre que l’amour est la vie.
There is no knowledge to impart, no solution, other than love is life.

Mais l’amour n’est pas ailleurs qu’en toi.
But love is not elsewhere than in you.

Si tu vis, tu aimes et tu crées l’envie autour de toi, l’envie de la vie, de connaître l’amour en soi.
If you live, you love and you create the desire around you, the desire for life, to know love in yourself.

Celui qui libère, qui invite au partage, à dépasser nos peurs, à faire nos propres choix.

Quels qu’ils soient.

Notre message répété sans fin, sous toutes formes, spolié et dévoyé par les religions,
Our message repeated endlessly, in all forms, despoiled and misled by religions,
qui s’inscrit en chacune et chacun, le jour où il née de l’expérience de la vie.
Which is inscribed in every one, the day it is born from the experience of life.

Dans l’amour, il y a toutes les autres émotions, comme en toi, pas d’adversaire,
In love there are all the other emotions, like in you, no adversary,
si tu te diriges tu n’as plus besoin d’exclure, si tu n’as pas peur, chaque chose t’apporte du bonheur, dans la souffrance comme dans la joie.
if you direct yourself you no longer need to exclude, if you are not afraid, everything brings you happiness, in suffering as in joy.

La réalité est une lecture consciente d’une trame non déterminée, nous façonnons nos vies.

Les histoires figées, les livres, les films ou les jeux ne sont que des reproductions extrêmement limités de la vie. Les sacraliser c’est nous condamner à ne pas pouvoir apprécier ce qui nous rend réellement heureux.

Reality is a conscious reading of an undetermined frame, we shape our lives.

Frozen stories, books, movies or games are only extremely limited reproductions of life. To idolize them is to condemn us to not being able to appreciate what makes us really happy.

PIRATE Tapes

“In Extremis Ex Nihilo Sound Artefact Capture Performance”

The Necrophile Hummingbird presents “Performance d’extraction d’un artefact sonore ex nihilo in extremis” by PIRATE Tapes. First of 2 concerts recorded before and after the first lockdown. A way to show how the spontaneous music that we call “improvisation” is slightly closer of Karlheinz Stockhausen’s intuitive music than of the jazz improvisation. Indeed it’s mostly a live session as we use to do when we records one of our album before split it in several parts and title them as tracks… but with public.
Merely nothing prepared, we plug and play that’s all : total improvisation.

Improvised music recorded live the 23th February 2023 at the 36 Art Gallery of Dole (france) “In Extremis Ex Nihilo Sound Artefact Capture Performance” aka “Performance d’extraction d’un Artefact Sonore Ex Nihilo In Extremis”. Musique quasi totalement improvisée à la Galerie du 36 de Dole (france) le 23 février 2023. Si le titre n’est pas assez explicite, la performance improvisée consistait a dévoiler les mystères de la capture d’un Objet Sonore Non Identifié…

Richey Hackett – The Nightmarist

Richey Hackett – The Nightmarist

Richey Hackett

“The Nightmarist”

Following his eclectic opus ‘A Space For Your Dreams’ (released earlier this year on Vulpiano), Richey Hackett continues on his parallel path as an electronic composer with ‘The Nightmarist’. Richey takes ideas and delves into them, skillfully weaving atmospheres throughout his kaleidoscopic chords: bitcrushed echoes, fizzing electrical signals, distorted percussion, and ambiguous vocal samples.

Themes pervade: of digital consciousness as a spirit that haunts, disturbs, and blesses our synaptic essence, of a parallel plain that melds with an ancient and bone-deep wilderness expressed in our occult – a sort of ‘Life In The Bush of Ghosts’.

This is not to pigeonhole it as merely a dark-cyberpunk-ambient album; there is too much sweetness and pathos. The tones deployed are often sweeping and celestial, with everything from a subliminally disquieting music box waltz to anxious techno; and at various times recalling Vangelis, Burial, and Trent Reznor’s solo work. Yet another display of range and sophistication from Richey Hackett.

Words From The Artist:

“I really enjoyed the challenge of trying my hand at something new with You Are Nothing But Light. So making a second collection of dark ambient music felt only natural and this time I’ve tried to make the pieces even more expressive and cinematic.

I’ve always enjoyed ambient music and how much freedom it gives the listener; I may have composed a track with certain images and emotions in mind, but without lyrics to define those things you leave it much more open to interpretation. And I really like the idea of the listener being able to create their own scenes in their minds using your music as the soundtrack.”

Javier Moraga – Sofismo

Javier Moraga – Sofismo
[pn034]

Javier Moraga

“Sofismo”

(UPDATED SEPTEMBER 2021 in FLAC)

Restless Javier Moraga has conceived this set of atmospheric tracks that are no easy stuff to our ears at all.

‘Sofismo‘ appeals to the mother’s womb, taking us there, eliciting our arcane memories: our mother’s blood feeding and warming, hearts beating at the same time, becoming rhythms we will remember for life… a missing quality this release brings back in full glory.

This set of tracks grew along his daughter – the most wonderful thing in Moraga’s life. This may explain their sonic quality, as if they were heard thru the womb, coming from a cold, unknown outside, but turning into something cosy and warm while inside.

Filled with unrecognizable – though identifiable -, organic, thick sounds, stimulating imagination, this album deals with its title not in the sense of thought’s depth or truth seeking thru knowledge, but rather in the sense of sonic exploration: Javier intends to rule over machines, synthesis, tools… the final word is up to you.

Kai Nobuko – Ober Attached
[earthrid-028]

Kai Nobuko

“Ober Attached”

Kai Nobuko is a Dutch musician and producer who has released countless albums (he has definitely lost count!) under his own name and as Toxic Chicken and Covolux.

Kai was recently reunited with his Oberheim OB•12 synthesiser, which he had lent to a friend and then sort of forgotten about. He quickly fell in love with this intrument again, and with this album he presents a sincere homage to the OB•12 in the shape of imagined fantasy “demo tunes”, which showcase what this sky-blue beauty can do. To add to the challenge, no sequencing software or hardware was used. What you hear was played live, in just a few layers of tracks.

Within this dreamy album you might be surprised by what the synth is capable off when treated with love and kindness, but it’s even more likely that you will simply zone out as you find yourself floating away into a cloudless sky, with the OB•12 as your magic carpet.

Hideor Tild – Home Directory

Hideor Tild – Home Directory

Hideor Tild

“Home Directory”

Member of the band Blue Haired Girl, which supported him in the recording of this first solo effort touched by a similar spirit of musical nomadism, Hideor Tild started “Home Directory”, published by IRM Netlabel and Les Disques Normal, with songs composed on his acoustic guitar.

From that breadcrumb’s thread and without losing any of this initial spontaneity, the French musician has woven unique and varied atmospheres, mixing pastoral ballads and electrified cavalcades, western folk elements and instruments from Africa and Asia (from Mali to Uzbekistan), intoxicating strings and percussions of all kinds, hints of electronic music and unusual sounds ranging from vocoder to drum machines through field recordings and mystical chants coming from multiple geographical origins : voices from Mexico to Japan, Touvain and Inuit songs, etc.

As a result, the mostly instrumental “Home Directory” is an album filled with spirituality that invites you to travel far but also to make your own inner journey, summoning previous adventurers of acoustic guitars such as Mice Parade, Gustavo Santaolalla, Ry Cooder or Tunng’s early records.

Wolne Pokoje – Kostropate

Wolne Pokoje – Kostropate
[mhrk285]

Wolne Pokoje

“Kostropate”

1: Common quantum physicists’ interpretation and statement is that there is no such thing as matter and what we all call matter, in reality is energy. The whole universe is energy, frequencies, vibrations. What we observe is energy vibrations that are slowed down to a level that is perceivable by our senses and sensors. It all exists thanks to forces which make particles quiver and yet keep the whole system together. Many spiritual or metaphysical things in essence have always been just physics which we have not properly seen and understand yet.

2: “Spaces lost, abandoned, cheated by history and nature have an odd, somewhat surreal charm … When things and places lose the context that gave them function or meaning, you can rediscover them. Useless, even freed in a sense, they gain a specific aura. Not only do we see them as new, but they also turn their surprised sights towards us and try to ask us a question … Sometimes an accidental glance is enough to give in to the force of that place for years. Sometimes a place lives in a person since childhood.” — Katharina Raabe, Monika Sznajderman, taken from the intro to„Znikająca Europa”, Wydawnictwo Czarne, Wołowiec, 2006.

These two contexts were the inspiration for the energy, frequency and vibration of Wolne Pokoje’s “Kostropate”.

“Grooves”

Synthesizers, keyboards, and programming by Darrell Burgan.

No guitars were harmed in the making of this album.

Some synthetic vocal performances were made using Marie Ork. Yes, Mike, this really is fully licensed. And yes, I really did play her in real time on a keyboard. Amazing synthesis technology from Plogue. Visit her at the following URLs for more information:
