“Entropic”

Savvas Metaxas – Entropic
Entropic was recorded during a long period of dysphoria, dyspnea, and anxiety. These feelings are the canvas where the music begins, evolves, and come to an end. It is a soundtrack of days marking the closure, the relief, and the faith. It sets the end and the beginning. It is hated and loved at the same time. It is emotional music from the brink of darkness.
Notes

These recordings are based on the use of analog semi-modular synthesizers, analog sequencer, recordings of found sounds, vinyl samples.

All tracks written and produced by Savvas Metaxas. Mastering by Yannis Tsirikoglou. Cover photo by Nikos Kostopoulos.

“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.

Former Descent is the new Electronica project of Bas Welling, best known for previous works under the names Neurobit, R10T33R and Rioteer. Bas Welling created loads of chaos the past few years with his label Crackbeats wich has a focus on the extreme side of Breakcore, Noise and Digital hardcore.

But he is also known as a producer and remixer for artists like Ra-X, The C64 Orchestra, Deathmaker, Meldy Peaches and Maurizio Bianchi. With Former Descent his music goes in a new direction, with strong influences by his aliases.

“Free Sprite”

Gab Pearson – Free Sprite
Continuing our crusade against explainable styles and the comprehensible, we here at TWG are incredibly proud to throw this chunk of jaunty and experimental swing-laden gold at you.

Mixing inexplicably catchy phrases with hugely emotive tonal tapestries and a healthy spooning of the esoteric, Gab Pearson exudes subtle and eclectic mastery. Sounding like a jazz-fuelled romp through polka, Russia, and hip-hop, ‘Free Sprite’ is by no means a simple listen. From the touchingly ballad-esque bridges of ‘universalizable’, through to the left-turn rap of ‘movezherb’ and Indian percussion spread throughout ‘action caption’, this EP never starts to make sense, or lose an inch of its huge groove In fact, it manages the insane feat of being both completely bonkers and touchingly emotive in one fell swoop, and all with some giant beats driving it throughout.

Wirewound vs. Datacrashrobot – Xylogic Splitter
Machines Collide
Coming from the recesses of an obscure computerized coding mechanism, the impossible has happened!
Forget about Cyberdyne Systems taking over the world, the machine onslaught is happening now, in the shape of proto beats emanating from Bucharest’s own Sorin Paun.
Yeah, you guessed it: the electro bursts of Datacrashrobot have probed the aggressive electronica of Wirewound, merging amorphous glitched up machines and obscure textures, struggling against some of the heaviest beat work he’s produced. It’s an always intense, gripping experience through the realms of abstract and thought-provoking electronic music, the binary codes have taken over and all we can do is to allow these electro shocks to please our ears and mind as they see fit.
Prepare not to feel human for a while. Get ready to experience the cyborg transition through the simple click of download. (F.G.)

“Second”

Cryptic Mao – Second
Artist : Cryptic Mao
Title : Second
Catalog # : TXR058
Duration : 41:42
Date of release : November 06, 2013
Genres : dark ambient, drone, noise
Format : digital (FLAC and MP3)
This is the second independent release from France’s drones creator after a multi-year hiatus, and while it offers no surprises, Second still yields plenty of satisfaction. It may seem strange to categorize an album of noise-tinged drone as “dark ambient” but Cryptic Mao has been working for several years now, and it continues to perfect what has become a well-established musical recipe: sweeping synthetic and electroacoustic sounds, slowly moving frequencies, distant pulsating noises. Each element is here to construct a description of a pure mental landscape.

Cherubim

“The Joyful Shrieks of the Cherubim!”

Cherubim – The Joyful Shrieks of the Cherubim!
Cherubim makes noises, drones, pulses and melodies with guitars, trombones, trinkets and computers, sampling and swirling it all into an unearthly sound. After a few years of playing together in the 12,000 Trees collective, guitarist Yuko Pepe and laptop/trombonist Brett Sroka splintered off as a duo, with a strange, yet overlapping aesthetic.

Yuko Pepe is an experimental/noise/improvisational musician based in Brooklyn, NY, born in Tokyo. She started playing the guitar in 2001 at university in Tokyo, where she also received her nick name, Pepe. Currently, Yuko plays with 12000 Trees, Cherubim, Helioscope and has performed solo in NYC, Berlin and Tokyo.

Brett Sroka is a trombonist, computer musician and composer for film, dance, installations and his own ensembles. He has performed at BAMcafe, the Sonic Circuits Festival, the Guggenheim Museum and the Teatro Fondamenta Nueve in Venice, Italy. His minimal, electro-acoustic jazz trio Ergo released it’s third recording, “If Not Inertia”, on Cuneiform Records in 2012.

“Eliane”

Matt Rogalsky – Eliane
This music did not really begin as an hommage to Eliane Radigue, but I did come to think of it in relation to her work with slowly changing timbres, which I love, and I ended up calling it by her name. My recordings are drone textures made up of many oscillators continuously detuned according to changing ambient light levels. A single photocell placed outside brings into play the movement of isolated clouds passing across a clear blue sky. Eliane was created using the SuperCollider programming language with homemade sensor hardware, and recorded in real time to analog tape.
