I'd especially appreciate hearing from anyone who runs a netlabel with free Creative Commons music. Thank you! Konrad from clongclongmoo

Nava Spatiala and Secrets Of The 45 – NSSOT45

[UPL 051]

Nava Spatiala and Secrets Of The 45

“NSSOT45”

This is a joint project by polish Secrets Of the 45 and romanian noise/ambient unit Nava Spatiala. Each project received three tracks of the other project and remixed them, using primarily only the track itself as basis for the remix. The resulting album is an exhilarating trip through glitchy landscapes, blurry drones, rumbling basslines, electronic chirps and whistles, enveloping the listener with alternating waves of noise and melodic hums, echoing in space, at the same time digital and organic.

Nava Spatiala enjoyed a lot playing around with SOT45 tracks and, at first, sampled what they liked. Then they took the parts and ran them through lots of delays, reverbs and various synthethic manipulaton techniques. Every track was performed and recorded live at the studio and compressed through some nice tubes.

Secrets of the 45 decided to take a melody-oriented approach, immersing himself in the noisy world of Nava Spatiala and then through careful filtering picking out hints of melodies, then layering them into humming and whistling soundscapes, as well as reshaping them live via granulator software.

Daniel Barbiero – Allusions to Fogs & Liquids

[cs37]

Daniel Barbiero

“Allusions to Fogs & Liquids”

Live improvisations for solo double bass and for prepared double bass were recorded and then manipulated to create slowly moving sonic environments which remain fundamentally rooted in the nature of the instrument.”

Allusions to Fogs & Liquids represents a type of music concerned with sound as something in itself, a material externality. But it can’t help but carry associations. Here the listener takes over from the composer/performer.

Jenseits – Nomade Psichico Suite

[NN_LP041_06_13]

Jenseits

“Nomade Psichico Suite”

Jenseits

At the origin of this project there is Jenseits (Francesco Vecchi from Milano), who wishes to revisit, cite and recite poetry and texts of some songs from “Nomade Psichico”, music work released for “I dischi del mulo” / “C.P.I. (Consorzio Produttori Indipendenti)”, an historical group of the Italian 90s underground music, the AFA (Acid Folk Alleanza) and an oniric “reading” an excerpt from the book ” Provincia Exotica” by Fabrizio “Taver” Tavernelli (voice and leader of the AFA), all complemented and enhanced by two original Jenseits tracks. The project is developed in collaboration with the indie label “Lo Scafandro”, delivered by “Taver” himself. We like to define this second Jenseits work as “psycho-electro sci-fi cover music”.

Nomade Psichico Suite

Imagine yourself suspended in the empty icy, adrift in a diving suit, immersed in an infinite silence, away from anything that could be reassuring. You are finished in a space gravitational cemetary, a space debris landfill, spaceships and satellites damaged pieces. Now with these objects try to rebuild a module with ingenuity and desperation, a new building of rough technology survivalist, a rickety space station, a survival structure in a hostile and empty universe. The same space recovery operation performed by Jenseits, tracks, records abandoned in a vacuum. An suite of expansion where pulse signals and messages are collected, processed, analyzed and finally remixed with what remains of a technology of a race once projected into the future and now more closer to a final entropy. Clusters, reverbs, loops dirty and corroded, echo that rebeats between unknown dimensions. “Nomade Psichico Suite” is a meticulous archeology cosmic work, a decipher of distant and unknown languages. As the last light that travels through time to give us news of the death of a star. As in the last human civilization reigns a daily apocalypse. Jenseits is a collector, just as they were the first hominid groups on planet Earth, nomads in search and discovery. Abandoned riches founded on the route, sounds, words, feelings, everything useful for use for reassembly. Forced to the invention, to restore energy and life to what seemed lifeless, but still maintains, in a property, a memory. Fossil life forever seared, enclosed, preserved for that and for those who will come. Matter to be reassembled in an abstract and astral. Giving a new function to sound objects destined to eternal silence. My fossil is “Nomade Psichico,” an album that I jealously protect in a remote part of my soul, a work that marked me, a building and a project that I projected far away, where I thought impossibile to get. An astronomical platform from which I could see, to listen what I had never been able to receive. And just by observing and traveling into the endless space, only the moment of maximum expansion of consciousness, I discovered that I was traveling in myself, in my subconscious, in my deepest own. In the best science fiction interior. So admirable and captious like a black hole, the work that you add in this monolithic work, a labyrinthine inlay pictures, films, literary references, visions and illuminations. Jenseits understood what was behind it, what was there before, what was inside and what was beyond the album “Nomade Psichico.” It’s an amazing kaleidoscopic refraction, a sister galaxy, which is reflected in the multiverse. A ring structure, a circular breathing, a trance, a spiral nebula. Jenseits is the continuation of a trip to an indefinite time, which requires a change of generations for a dark path is revealed by light years of wandering. Reach a new planet, attain a truth, there be achieved, only one destination and now the command of the starship has a new crew brave and utopian, decided in the unexplored walk over the border. Until the next dimensional shift. Good Voyage Major Francis and remember the flight codes.

midnightradio11 – recirculation

[midnightradio11]

midnightradio11

“recirculation”

“The music of midnightradio 11 is subject to no form and no rule established by me. It happens in the moment that it happens. It is not being formed in my head in advance. It is formed during creation. midnightradio11 and eisenlager are the two projects I have been pursuing since the year 2000. The sounds that evolve during creation reflect my humor, my fear, my life, my experiences and current events. I do not fit in any category but if I had to I would describe myself as an electric krautrocker. It makes me happy when people go on a journey with my music, when they tell me what they felt, what they remembered. When that happens I have reached my goal.”

BOOL

“I eat phantom”

“Style of this album is a Poem core.
Based on the impact of the Japanese sub-culture (anime, music, comedy, game, radio) it was created in a room of small dark home.
It is said to emerge from the magnificent strain of day-to-day trivial matters.
In this album, abstract language has been used in addition to the Japanese.
Even a man speaking in Japanese when listening will not understand half.
I believe that there is value in that kind of chaos.” – BOOL

Surely what drew me to Indonesia was the gamelan. A connection through years of practice with the New York new-music group “Son Of Lion.” And there I met three marvelous musicians and played with them, drawn together by shared mind-in-the-moment music making – the only way it becomes an “universal language.”

the collection is divided into three boxes and contains six and a half hours of music. the first box consists of two separate performances with percussionist yasudah s. and the dancers susana miranti kroeber and phoebe neville. the second box consists of four performances with the singer and dancer restu kusumaningrum. the third box consists of two performances with the percussionist jalu pratidina and dancer phoebe neville.

“morti fire”

agnès pe works on sound beyond the limits enshrined by any genre. her work is characterized by a fun and overwhelming attitude – an all or nothing style that covers the parameters of lo-fi music. this self-taught musicologist is a multidisciplinary researcher that is encapsulated by mystifying melodies and is always seeking new ways of relating to the elements she re-composes. she is interested in the non-common, regardless of their label.

her first album is based on electronics and samples. beats, mechanics, factory work, pummel.

Steve Hilmy – This Space Occupied (by Maida)

[zero147]

Steve Hilmy

“This Space Occupied (by Maida)”

This is a recording of a performance at the Barents Spektakel Festival in Kirkines, at the top of Norway in the Arctic circle February 2013. This recording is the work *as performed* captured by streaming 18 stems to disk during the performance and mixed later on the plane on the way back to the US.

This Space Occupied (by Maida) was originally commissioned by the Washington Project for the Arts for a 5-hour endurance performance in an elevated glass cage at the Corcoran Gallery of Art, Washington, DC fall of 2012. It is an interactive performance of structured improvisation, stream of consciousness choices by Maida Withers as performer and dancer, and Steve Hilmy as musician and composer, that reveal the precariousness of life in the glass cage. The 5-hour endurance event was inspired by notions of the Occupy movement. Portions of Maida’s text are fragments of poetry of David McAleavey who is a professor of literature and creative writing at George Washington University, and Alex Caldiero a poet, polyartist, sonosopher, and scholar of humanities and intermedia and a professor of Philosophy and Humanities at Utah Valley State College.

In this recorded performance Maida Withers wears a headset mic and Steve Hilmy processes her speech and movement while performing on keyboard, computer, and miscellaneous controllers, making all sonic decisions in the moment.
