entropija – genealogija A: 2017-2018
[EEM054]

entropija

“genealogija A: 2017-2018”

The first part of a retrospective collection, documenting live concert excerpts and private experiments between October 2017 and June 2018. Dynamic, rhythmically active, contrasting motifs dominate the album, emanating shades of IDM, glich, and post-industrial music. Beats and tonalities assemble, clash together and disintegrate, giving way to the next cycle of entropic interactions. The album attempts to construct a sonic narrative from disparate recordings, recontextualizing them into a new whole, but retaining the eclectic nature of entropija‘s live performance.

“Hayagriva”

Vulpiano Records is pleased to present the enchanting ‘Hayagriva’ – five psychedelic, drone-drenched landscapes that inspire the imagination and offer an escape into another world.

Words from Kaelin Bougneit:
Devon and I recorded this (almost) entirely improvised record in short, scattered sessions in early 2019. There was essentially no planning between us and no communication between our equipment, and I think the tenuous, spontaneous nature of that was liberating for both of us. For the first half of this album I focused mostly on guitar and granular resampling; the last half is mostly vocal improv, all within Ableton Live. Thanks for your ears.

Words from Devon Ford:
My part of the project comes from a 9U/312HP Eurorack built around drones, granular synthesis, tape splice/samples, and heavy modulation. I knew I wanted to get into this style when I was first introduced to the sounds of Lustmord. I have always been into crazy psychedelic music as well, so the sound takes on a mix of dark ambient and psychedelia.

Soul Flask – The Cassandra Complex

Soul Flask – The Cassandra Complex
[mhrk240]

Soul Flask

“The Cassandra Complex”

“Basically the project came into being from the job I do. I work in the waste/recycling industry and have done for 3 years. When I first started I was absolutely mortified at how wasteful we are in this country and likely most of the developed world. There is so much food waste (tins, dried goods that get thrown away even though they are perfectly fine). I eat what I think is OKay. Me and others also find gold, silver, rolex watches etc. I found a bottle of whiskey valued at 1400 pounds. So i was seeing all this waste and then seeing homeless people in the street asking me for money. I would buy them a sandwich and a drink. I sank into a place of strange but thoughtful depression and anxiety. Then we had this idea that you could look inside a skip and come up with a quality band name. I came up with ‘Half eaten loaf’, The rotten carpets, Then I saw a broken thermos flask with all these old photos next to it. Peoples memories… Soul Flask just popped in my head. I then set about taking inspiration for a musical project with influences taken directly from rubbish. Some musical instruments and old vhs tapes provided a catalyst of at least creating a musical message to this madness.

The flask appeared empty, but it wasn’t. It triggered a thought.. That our bodies are vessels. Our Soul can either be damaged or enlightened throughout life. We boil down our whole life’s experience, knowledge and thought, then we carry forward that knowledge and information within ourselves. Within our Flasks, keeping that liquid warm. It’s important that when the liquid overflows out of our Flask, that it does so in a positive way. A helpful and responsible way that can only promote good, so as that other peoples flasks don’t get contaminated. It’s only by following that lifestyle that we can truly transform and then together, we can all go into the future.

With a clarity of soul.

Most tracks have a direct message to them. Usually just questioning our accepted culture as normal without challenging it. But when looking at the bigger picture of which society does its very best to hide. You can’t help but wonder just how long we can sustain ourselves like this. I mean, we all need things to survive. But when these things come to their expiry. We cannot just bury them in landfill. That behaviour is the equivalent to the whole of the human race burying its head in the sand.”

Javier Moraga – Violence is in the air

Javier Moraga – Violence is in the air
[pn152]

Javier Moraga

“Violence is in the air”

In times of social revolution against an abusive economic system, in a Valparaíso that does not yield to brutal police repression, there is also a strong cultural response to this unpopular government that does not listen to any slogan. The artistic expressions that confront this whirlwind of state violence are varied, contributing with creative beauty influenced by the social movement, and it is there where electronic music is also present.

Javier Moraga is one of the most important representatives and diffusers of this musical style in the Valparaíso region. Week after week he delights us with records on his radio program “Sala de Máquinas” (Room of Machines) on the radio Valentín Letelier, broadcasting on the modulated frequency of the “V Costa”, new albums by producers of national and international electronica. His musical knowledge is vast, he has publications in the most important Buenos Aires netlabels such as Modismo and Epasonidos. Furthermore, as a sound technician, we can affirm that his new album “Violence is in the air” leaves no doubt about his great musical experience. We will listen to nine songs that cross the sounds of ambient, glitch and experimental, with great sonic amplitude, expressive frequencies, varied and enveloping samples with a clear avant-garde tendency both musically and conceptually, understanding that, in Chile, today more than ever there exist winds of profound social change.

Doctrina Natura – The Cult to the Trimorphic Hécate
[ST014]

Doctrina Natura

“The Cult to the Trimorphic Hécate”

Doctrina Natura
[Spain]

Format: Digital
Release Date: April 13 2020
Cat: ST014

The Doctrina Natura’s project was born at the end of 2017, with the need of experiment with instructive, organic, hypnotic music, a sound intimately linked to nature. Ambient, experimental, slow techno rhythms and the influence of ethnic sounds, is what best captures this project.

This album represents fantasy and mythology through sound. Reading a book is imagining stories through words. In music, those words are transformed into sounds; this is a story to be told through the sounds.
>From the shadows stands, oh Queen of ghosts, Goddess of Sorcery.
Protective of the roads, observer, guardian of the crossroads.
Goddess of the three forms, bearer of keys, maker of light and darkness.
Half goddess, half witch, the moon and fire coexist there.
Guardian of the woods, connoisseur of magical plants, priestess, healer.

Noise Ladder

“Noise is color in silence #01”

In a noisy and chaotic world, many of us are looking for calmness or emptiness. And when we finally find some pieces of silence, we understand that they are not empty at all.

Nicolas Lafay aka Noise Ladder presents “Noise is color in silence”. Behind this name, there is a series of releases, each of them consists of a cassette tape with original artwork and a digital version. For every new release, a new artist is invited to propose a visual universe for the music of Noise Ladder.

Jeanne Van Monckhoven, a French artist from Bordeaux, has drawn 4 gorgeous cassette covers for the first issue, so 4 copies of the tape are available.

The music is downloadable for free.

Amotken – Life’s A Glitch

Amotken – Life's A Glitch

Amotken

“Life’s A Glitch”

How do you think life originated?
Since bacteria were underwater, the first step in evolution was a mistake.
Thus all the steps that have led to evolution and survival have been errors and accidents: a deformation caused the bacteria to perceive light and develop eyes.
That genetic line survived, and it reproduced by inheriting its genes.
There have been errors in the genetic lines that allow organisms to perceive more information from their environment. By perceiving more information, they are able to survive and develop, protect themselves, and even manipulate this environment.
Natural selection and evolution are just mistakes…
Glitches in genetic systems.
Maybe it has no purpose at all.
We are all the result of a series of mistakes … We are all the result of a series of glitches.

Amotken presents his 4th album: “Life’s A Glitch“, the result of a two-year exploration where a synergy fusion between organic textures and digital and analog glitches takes place. Where electricity adjoins a wooden body and strings to explode in endless textures and changes, taking the narrative through the most innocuous places.

“Low Season Carnival”

“What happens where nobody wants to be,
in the forgotten places, in the shunned times?
Rage and melancholy, decay and hope – moods and voices
captured in the crisis zone at dawn,
at the fair during the low season,
in the abandoned arcade.”

Monkeeastronaut – The Jungle Within
[SR218]

Monkeeastronaut

“The Jungle Within”

Monkeeastronaut is a solo project of the Italian musician Riccardo Occhionero. The purpose is to bring an experimental mixture of soundscapes trying to evoke for the listener a sense of bewilderment, fear and astonishment, just like a monkey could feel travelling through space. Basically it’s an attempt to explore how human curiosity and arrogance can generate forms of evil that are against the nature of things, using innocent living forms as oblivious witnesses of the utopistic reach of a knowledge that is far beyond the present step in evolution. Oh and there’s some random improvisation as well.

“Beware the beast Man, for he is the Devil’s pawn. Alone among God’s primates, he kills for sport or lust or greed. Yea, he will murder his brother to possess his brother’s land. Let him not breed in great numbers, for he will make a desert of his home and yours. Shun him; drive him back into his jungle lair, for he is the harbinger of death.”

“El Color que cayó del Cielo”

[pn151] 03.04.2020 “El Color que cayó del Cielo” by F600 feat. Mauricio Garrido [Chile]

REVIEW By Vicente Ruiz.

Collaborating is a contemporary exercise. Authorship in art through a common creation outcome dissolves the limits and merges personalities. “The Colour out of Space” has H.P. Lovecraft as the first collaboratorby creating the literary work in 1927. A story that describes the fall of a giant energy like a meteorite from outer space to planet Earth; the energy stains the place where it has fallen with a colour that is just the opposite, in fact it is the absence of colour and which is non-existence itself, capable of corroding the living forms of a palpable reality, although the confirmation of the birth of a proper field of subjectivity as well. Mauricio Garrido interprets the text and transfer it to collage (122 x 69 cm. Expo LEER 2018) where is possible to see a column of colour vibrations that upon reaching the earth enters nothing less than to the heart of the Pantheon building, iconic place precisely for its opening in the dome – The eye of God?- sweeping with a force of abduction simultaneous to the one that invades, so everything he finds begins to rise to infinity, bringing at the same time materials from space to establish them as a conjunction of materials and souls.

From the original text and the collage, Miguel Conejeros creates a musical composition that reflects the journey of a monstrous force that is falling from the sky in a sharply way. A voice recounts the events of the impact that is gradually transforming the landscape, giving birth to a gray wasteland which expands precisely in the space and life of the protagonists. This is described through Garrido’s voice, who is a central character in the story acting as a bridge between literature, sound and the visual workthat he himself gave birth to, coming to occupy the place of a mediator who glimpses within creation the possibility of magic.

The musical work manages to fully capture the terror that Lovecraft has put in the literary work. The different moments are shot in a kind of futuristic fictionthat takes the classic aspects of an audio work and at the same time brings them together to make way for a creation that reaches the human, not only for its ability to generate realities, but also by proposing a sound certainty which multiplies in different but harmonic directions, where the intimate structures of music are moved in community with the lyrics and the plastic creation.

Contemporaneity is manifested in the artistic collaboration of these three creators: Lovecraft, Conejeros and Garrido. The mysteries described through the audible are part of the world as is seen today: large devastated territories that move like a destructive plague where there is usually nothing or very little left to restart life or at least continue it. Spaces where the sinister rises with ominous aims. And the journey manifests as displacement of forms and senses.

However, pleasure prevails, one that arises from within the sounds and their relationships. One that drags Mauricio
Garrido’s visual work and passing through the sensitivity of Miguel Conejeros and gives way to an inevitable torrent of lights in the midst of shadows, the non-existent confirming the existent, what is destroyed as part of the shapeand emptiness as a symptom of the universe.
