Yulio (Julio Muñoz) presents his fifth album “Cosmic Fractal”, an album combining electronic, ambient and cosmic elements to create a soundscape that transports you through space and time.
Cosmic fractals are geometric patterns found in nature and repeated at different scales throughout the universe. These patterns can be found in cosmic structures such as galaxies, nebulae and in the large-scale distribution of matter in the universe, generated through complex physical processes such as gravitation, turbulence and radiation.
Cosmic fractals study has helped scientists to better understand the structure and evolution of the universe. In addition, their beauty and complexity has fascinated artists, people interested in science and nature.
All this mystery was studied and clarified by Benoit Mandelbrot (1924-2010), a mathematician known for his pioneering work in fractal theory and fractal geometry. Mandelbrot was one of the first to realize the importance of self-similarity, scale in nature and complex phenomena. His work opened a new field in mathematics and computer science. His ideas have been applied in many areas, including physics, biology, economics, engineering, and music (why not?)..
From the very start, a unique atmosphere can be perceived, due to evolving and constantly changing sound effects. Yulio adds an extra complexity and texture layer to every composition, developing a character and personality of their own, wrapped by an exploratory approach, leading to even more intimate discoveries.
These energetic pieces make your senses vibrate with space-like sounds, while the more relaxing ones motivate self-reflection and contemplation.
Summing up, “Cosmic Fractal” is a fascinating listening experience, taking you on a journey through galaxies and the cosmos – a house trademark . The elements mixture, as well as sonic fractality, create a unique music work – one we recommend to any electronic music fan.

OXYGEN
It’s a sound journey about city and nature, artificial and natural environment.
By an interesting coincidence, Yenting Hsu and Rani Jambak both had same experience by living in Australia several years ago. Being far away from their own land made them more aware of their own culture or environment. That was their big inspiration to start their own project about environment “Waterland” and #formynature. By then, Rani and Yenting keep following their interest and exploring their own culture and environment through sound.
Although both grew up in the city, but they are fascinated by their own natural scape. Yenting lives in Taiwan, with the sea surrounded. Rani lives in Medan, close to the rain forest – Leuser Ecosystem. Two different nature scene make them connect through OXYGEN where rain forest and ocean are the most important to produce oxygen.
All tracks are composed by 2 different soundscapes of city and nature from Taiwan and Medan, North Sumatra. Experimenting many style of composition, Rani and Yenting collaborate in different type of production by sharing their sound collections and mixing each sound back and forth. They try to meditate on how human and nature coexist and question the possibility of harmony.
This album is the final result of an online residency project “∀ Flλ ≡nters. ∥mmense βreath of ⊥he ∫ea：ℝesidency” organized by Open Contemporary Art Center in 2021-2022.

For my ears, Lately Kind of Yeah and evocations of nature come packaged as one, accompanying or even transcending literal lyrical interpretations or impressions one might scoop from track titles. Melodies plod like footsteps on dunes; guitar riffs swirl through crunching distortion like leaves in a windstorm. Looping vocals become the benevolent mantra of waves rolling against the shore, especially notable in the release’s centerpiece, “Zones” — let it wash over you.

“London based acoustic slide guitarist Geiger von Müller takes the listener on a trip to outer space on his new album Slide Sonatas II.. He takes it slow, conjuring images of asteroids passing by as tumbleweeds in a Western movie. His blues-based instrumentals honour the less-is-more approach of a musician who is set on discovering limitless possibilities within the space of a couple of choice notes.”

En 2019 se inició el proyecto Archivo Veintidós, un netlabel con un manifiesto claro, que buscaba desde su plataforma promover prácticas sonoras y música experimental al margen de la industria global. En los últimos 4 años, se han publicado 30 discos, entre compilados, LPs y EPs, de artistas provenientes de toda latinoamérica, además de algunas excepciones fuera de este continente. Actualmente, el Archivo busca infiltrarse poco a poco en las capas de las plataformas de streaming actuales, siempre defendiendo el espacio de libertad y gratuidad que entregan los demás soportes que utilizamos, evitando siempre depender de una sola entidad que aloje los archivos sonoros aquí presentados. Además, luego de la pandemia, buscamos generar nuevos espacios donde se recupere la presencia y reivindique la materialidad sonora más allá de lo digital.
En esta versión del compilado, recibimos trabajos de artistas de varios países, que habían publicado en el sello con anterioridad, y que trabajan hoy desde prácticas que transitan por el noise, el ambient, el paisaje sonoro, exploraciones vocales, uso de sintetizadores y guitarras distorsionadas, y todo el mapa posible de cruces que se podrían realizar entre estos formatos. Muchos de estos trabajos son inéditos, y son parte del ecosistema que ha tejido el Archivo a lo largo de este tiempo, y esperamos se siga fortaleciendo.

The Necrophile Hummingbird netlabel presents Music To Burst In Tears by Yoshiwaku.
“PsychoActive Music For Experimental People”
I was digging in my hard drive then I found this track of incredibly sad music. If there was a contest like in Guy Maddin’s “The saddest music in the world” perhaps I should submit this track. To be clear, when you listen it there is something inside which grab your soul, and it’s nearly impossible to listen the whole without to burst in tears. Maybe if you have too much high expectations it will not work as well as with me, feeling like digging my own grave and it will sound more for you like a busker asking for a silver penny ? But you can believe me that if there is real ASMR music, that’s this really special kind of psycho-active music.
Thus, the artwork is mainly this equation (money+oil=world’s end) I don’t know from where come this sadness, but this could be the origin. Or more generally that despite we know the reason most of the time we are unable to avoid any cataclysm, instead it’s like we try to dive further into. This time in france it seems a lot of people realized this, because nearly all are struggling to get rid of a dictator apprentice, and would change this archaic system into something more accurate to the present time needs. I hope we will able to do this revolution and stick all together till find new ways to live and then to save the world of the climate disaster.
Last but not least, this is the first part of the trilogy “Under the ground, inside the flesh & over the sky” including, in second Häxan Cult and in third Remembering The Comet. And this episode more than the others is very close of CorteX project so if you want find something really nearby try “Undone Ceremony”.
Dedicated to those who know how to mend the broken hopes with gold.

“Witch house for Queer people”
Live improvisation recorded in April 2023. As you may notice, it’s a kind of alternative soundtrack for cult film Häxan by Benjamin Christensen…
You can watch on internet archive this version slightly enhanced with super 8 film here with William S. Burroughs voice https://archive.org/details/Haxan-akka-Witchcraft-Through-The-Ages-Benjamin-Christensen
Dedicated to all the witches & other outsiders killed through the ages by the undergods & conformists.
Last but not least, this is the second part of the trilogy “Under the ground, inside the flesh & over the sky” including, in third Remembering the comet and in first Music To Burst In Tears.

“Minimal Music for Serial Listeners”
This is the third part of the trilogy “Under the ground, inside the flesh & over the sky” including, in second Häxan Cult and in first Music To Burst In Tears. The tracks are really at the frontier between CorteX and Yoshiwaku.
Because I’m really fan of Terry Riley’s Serial Music the first 3 tracks are a blink eye to is “A Rainbow in Curved Air” album, but the music is not that much sounding like serialism, more the usual hypnotic improvised music I do.
Recorded between April and May 2023 at the Cave Haven In Foucherans.
Dedicated to all those who release free their dreams.
Zum Einsatz kamen die Volcas Beats und Keys, eine Bassgitarre und der Waldorf Rocket. Ergänzt bei einigen Liedern vom Korg Minilogue. Die Aufnahmen begannen im Cubase SX3 und endeten im Studio One 5.
So wenig wie möglich, so viel des Guten.
Mögliche Ähnlichkeiten mit lebenden Personen sind rein zufällig und meine Gedanken keine der möglichen Realitäten zuzuordnen.

Everybody knows about the disaster origin, everybody knows what economic system is the plague devastating the planet.
It’s an expansionist system, which annihilates all forms of alternatives, which contaminates everything it touches.
This system is the death pulsation that creeps into our lives.
Dedicated to every living surviving to the capitalism.
Recorded live the 5th December 2022 at the Cave Haven in Foucherans.

A Piece of Eternal Consciousness, is René Muñoz Córdova’s sixth digital Album, which again leads us towards a deep musical universe created by a constant deconstruction and abstraction of sound elements. The work is based on stochastic models, atonal and classic, in which priority is given to digital manipulation of sound sources, while in isolation, perceives the presence of both conventional and unconventional musical instruments as well as poetry. In the words of the author “The work was conceived throght deep introspection”.
Composed and produced by René Muñoz Córdova.
Cover art and poetry by René Muñoz Córdova.
