cátodo dúo – al tiro

[pyr073]

cátodo dúo

“al tiro”

based in chile, the cátodo dúo consists of amanda irarrázabal on double bass and ramiro molina on electric guitar. they began playing together in 2012 as a way of sharing their experiences in the field of the improvised music. built around a string concept, the duo easily moves from intense rhythmic situations to dense layers of noise. the music is totally improvised and their sound arises from treating instruments as sources of sound in every sense of the word using prepared instruments and avoiding conventional playing.

al tiro, their first album for pan y rosas discos, documents their first public performance. the sound is: chime snake swirl. metal scratch skree. quiet long note bends. physical percussion. staccato footstep notes. process vibrato. glass string flow. reverse polarities, cross streams. pierce pulse. low drone feedback string punch. objects falling down hills. black lodge bass descension glissando treble string ambiance.

Mekha – Immersion LP

[CUT015]

Mekha

“Immersion LP”

Experimental bass and deep techno tracks.

Mekha provides a deep, introspective selection of tracks, working in his own dark glitchy beeped-up dub-techno style of beatmaking with a range of collaborators.

Spaceape-esque vocals from MegaZimze, dusty female focals from Snowflake and a host of far-out remixes from Dsve Hosx, The Raging Sea, Emmerichk and Plug.

This is headphone electronica at it’s most polished.

Mika Martini – Los Hanoish y otras subculturas extintas

[pn073]

Mika Martini

“Los Hanoish y otras subculturas extintas”

By the end of 1978, a group of visual artists from USA know as The Residents published, among others, one of their masterpieces: ‘Eskimo’.

This was a conceptual album organized around a very special subject: fake folklore eskimo music (Cutler 1993).

To achieve that, the collective not only invented a tale that could base the album; a specific language variant for the ritual songs ‘recreated’ here was even delivered.

As it was expected, all of this huge frame didn’t made up anything but another one, designed to keep on laughing at, making a parody of, and comments on recurrent study objects such as: pop, publicity, big scale marketing (op. cit).

By the end of 2011, the local artist Mika Martini, grown surrounded by the visuality, give us ‘Los Hanoish y otras subculturas extintas’ (The Hanoish and other extinct subcultures), a conceptual album organized around a very unusual clue: imaginary pre-Columbian cultures.

The starting point was given at playing with Ursula Calderón’s voice (1923-2003), that, processed and manipulated, it becomes quite unrecognizable and distant about its time, telling and metal.

Martini also gives a quantum leap in respect of his previous release, ‘Mestizo’ (pn014 / 2007), abandoning the melody and danceable beat at all, to achieve the sound in its maximum amplitude and possibilities.

We’re hoping that, joined by the cold, the distance and the starting point, both works intersect in our ears, more and more each time, so they could expand our anxiety and imagination.”

Cutler, Chris: “The Residents” – File Under Popular: Theoretical and Critical Writings on Music (Autonomedia, N.Y., 1993) pp. 74-85. In spanish by Gerardo Figueroa Rodríguez.

andrea pensado – teraz, tak!

[pyr074]

andrea pensado

“teraz, tak!”

andrea pensado works with sound as a performer, composer and teacher. she has been using digital media and live interactive musical systems since 1995. she studied in argentina and poland. at first she composed mainly for acoustic instruments, however, she gradually felt more attracted by different sound realms. today, the abrasive digital noise of her improvisations is far away from her earlier pieces. harsh dense layers of sounds, often interwoven with her voice, combine hybrid synthesis and sampling techniques to create a highly personal sound language, which reflects an intuitive, emotional and paradoxically also logical approach to music making. she currently lives in the united states.

teraz, tak!, her first album for pan y rosas, begins with a solo performance by andrea and is followed by a series of duets between andrea and the musicians: walter wright, davindar singh, adriana de los santos and alexei borisov who provide additional electronics, saxophone, piano and guitar respectively.

Origami Repetika – Into The Ether

[TWG006]

Origami Repetika

“Into The Ether”

TWG is proud to present to you the newest work by Origami Repetika. Much like his previous efforts, ‘Into The Ether’ focuses on subtlety and melody. Esoteric phrases glide over each other whilst soft FM sounds coax ethereal atmospheres and throat-catching beauty every second. Instead of sticking to traditional song structures, ‘Into The Ether’ swoons from one euphoric high to another, forming a free flowing wash of genres, inspirations and experiences.
At its very core, this release embodies understated glory, and repeat listens will leave a more bombastic and lasting impression than the previous spin. From the melancholic serenity of ‘honeyknocker meadows’ to the quiet groove of ‘love your handy hands’, from the enveloping samples and elation of ‘gaily into the ether’ to the quiet grandiloquence of ‘cure’s climax, ‘Into The Ether’ is delicate, elusive and so incredibly at home on TWG. 12 minutes of ingenuity and bliss.

EFFICIENT REFINERIES – Spéléonaxis

[NN_LP042_07_13]

EFFICIENT REFINERIES

“Spéléonaxis”

Spéléonaxis is the newest acoustic document by Miguel A. Ruiz and Siegmar Fricke who collaborate since the mid 90s on their project EFFICIENT REFINERIES. Produced again like the former three albums at Pharmakustik’s studio in Germany, the album contains six improvisational studiosession-recordings involving lots of new hardware and plugin-synthesizers. On Spéléonaxis EFFICIENT REFINERIES combines retrocosmic structures similar to the late 60s with innovative glitch-electronics and the newest technical possibilities in sound-processing. In addition very contrary elements are involved, ranging from melodic minimalism to pulsating psychotronics. Spéléonaxis can therefore be characterized as the most accessible and at the same time most experimental E.R. album so far.

Claudio Nuñez – End of a story

[BS081]

Claudio Nuñez

“End of a story”

“I use the same modus operandi for most of my albums (except the ones that are composed): I lay some free improvised moods (usually on rhythm instruments) that serve as the frame or background for the rest of the piece… I call this process ¨real time compositions¨ as I never have any ideas or plans before the actual recording starts… When I feel that the group or orchestral feelings reflect the mood I stop adding new layers or instruments… On my solo guitar or piano sets & albums I do the same, just once… Sometimes I decide that format for the instrument group that is going to appear on the album (a piano trio, a guitar trio= piano/guitar, bass & percussion), do so that all the pieces are going to feature those elements as in real group or just limit myself to focus on one of my main instruments… Little games that add to the music a little more mystery… or (as in this album) I use any combination randomly…” – Claudio Nuñez

Electric guitar, fretlles bass, percussion & voice by Claudio Nuñez.

Recorded in January 26 & 27 2013 in Caballito, Buenos Aires.

Trivia: The cover and title are a tribute to Schulze Irrlicht. When I was seventeen, one of those special people that come and go in your life gave me the vinyl Schulze. In turn, this year appeared the cd of La Légende d’Eer of Xenakis. Along with reading Silence, Cage, this would form in my young mind a kind of altered sense of perception of the music that survives until now.

[HAZE225]

VA

“Sound Interpretations — Dedication To Samuel Beckett”

The long blue days, for his head, for his side, and the little paths for his feet, and all the brightness to touch and gather. Through the grass the little mosspaths, bony with old roots, and the trees sticking up, and the flowers sticking up, and the fruit hanging down, and the white exhausted butterflies, and the birds never the same darting all day long into hiding. And all the sounds, meaning nothing.

Jorge Marredo – Uéyiga

[at065]

Jorge Marredo

“Uéyiga”

“Uéyiga”, in the local language of Extremadura (bast territory at the Spanish western border with Portugal) means trace, footprint or marks on the ground, left there from past activities. This is what is all about on the fourth album by Jorge Marredo – this time signing in as himself – and leaving apart the “Satisfaccion Lab” nickname, with he has been releasing for the past years.The four left traces found on this album are a rabbit hole in which Marredo enters, starting up with a clear image, a simple idea, a barely audible soundscape that early is being transformed until no recognition through signal processing with various synthesisers. By the half of the first track we are already in a multilayered scenario of analogue signals processed in various ways. So, the soundscape that started up the album as a clear statement, just fans out, and dissolves into a bast array of textures, rhythms and environments.

Traces are left of various abstract soundscapes present through the album, scenarios in which Marredo, through analogue signal processing devotes himself to the craft of synthesised sound, still even that we hear echoes of the psychodelic and kosmische music he loves to perform an explore (for instance with the duo project Marredo & Montag) this is pretty much a textural, and soundscapist-point-of-view album, even that those electric signals place us in the uncanny territory of machine sound we cannot forget about what started it all, the soundscape, or field recordings. It’s all there, as a trace, a footprint, something that doesn’t needs to be there because Marredo is very capable of listening through soundscapes and present them under his own umbrella, rearranged, transformed and created from nothing but electric signals.

Truly a pleasure to have him in our catalogue, specially when we are very focused on releasing works by our local artists, working neighbourly a few blocks away of the Audiotalaia Headquarters, just like Avelino Saavedra, Jean Montag and a few more.

Tongue Bundle – Salty Language

[AT044]

Tongue Bundle

“Salty Language”

This work is a tribute to the italian mercury mine of Abbadia San Salvatore. It’s an occasion to shape – both visually and musically – this “epic” element of the collective imagery and milestone of the common history of the community.

This set of paintings seeks, therefore, to harness the aura of the surreal structures, immersed in nature and witnesses the technological past rooted in the mechanics and in the flesh of workers as well.

The music goes inside the structures of the paintings and inside the feelings of the miners, creating a synaesthetic interpretation of the two artistic languages. This soundtrack has been performed live on December 4th 2011 during the vernissage of the exhibition “Acetilene – Sounds And Visions From The Belly Of The Mountain” that took place in the Museo Minerario of Abbadia San Salvatore.

An album to watch and listen.

* Acetylene gas lamp is a simple lamp that produces and burns acetylene which is created by the reaction of calcium carbide with water. It was used by the workers in the mines during the 20th century.

Emiliano Baiocchi is a Berlin based Italian artist who has been working for the last 10 years on developing an expressive visual language mostly through painting. He has participated in numerous group and solo exhibitions in various parts of Italy, Germany, France. His works are in private collections in USA, London, Paris, Monaco, Munich, Dusseldorf, Berlin, and many Italian cities.
He uses his imagination only to design images that explore painting as a means of pure expression leading to a series of inner landscapes that showcase a singular materiality of accumulated layers of acrylic paint. In his dreamlike images, there is no pre defined intention to figurate a given narration, for he is rather interested in constructing a contrasted space where casualty and accidents are to be balanced with controlled detailed areas in order for a sense of spiritual movement to emerge. He lives and works in Berlin.
