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.

Dans la nuit dansent des lueurs.
In the night glowing lights are dancing.

Nous ne sommes pas des balises de détresses.

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.

The one who liberates, who invites us to share, to overcome our fears, to make our own choices. Whatever they are.
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”

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.

[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”.
