philip corner’s second album for pan y rosas, java improvs, is a box set that collects eight improvisations that were recorded over the course of a year during his travels in indonesia. from philip:
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.
We introduce you the new album of Mtu, 97 a darker work than the previous one.
It harbours melancholy, memories and rage. An emotional release that pretends to be a farewell to the experienced sullen moments.
Experimentation in sound manipulation in order to convey these feelings is present through the five songs offered in the album.
volcano radar is a fusion of ecstatic improvisational energy and apollonian intellect. a power quartet with dual free jazz/noise/avant guitarists elbio barilari and julia a. miller, legendary bassist harrison bankhead and incendiary drummer avreeayl ra, volcano radar moves fluently through a stylistic range from noise-funk improvisation to structured sonic forms.

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.

The music tracks is original summa of avant-guard and classics for chamber orchestra and a piano pieces. The sharp sound of glass and the scream of violins meets here the bullfrog of storyteller. A bucklet is illustrated by photos of Nikolai Zaikov, Pavel Proskuriakov and Tatiana Suvirko. The mastering is by Alexey Muhmood Biriukov.

Picking up right where the project last left its listeners, furniture music #2 is a high bitrate sequel to the lobit volume 1 released on the SPubsidiary SPTOtfSP (catalog number 011), consisting of all new material except for furniture music #14 – cheap soundtrack for daily accidents, which originally appeared on Hal McGee’s Cheap and Plastic compilation. isteronproject describes its sound as principally what it calls furniture music, “a low-budget parody of the commercial music, inspired by people as residents, devo and, of course, erik satie,” qualified with the further labels kraut punk and cheapadelic. The reference to the Residents feels particularly accurate, especially on the plodding, playful last piece; listeners familiar with the Residents’ Commercial Album will quickly find themselves anticipating the familiar refrain “I wish I was a picnic boy”. Much like the bands mentioned in the genre description, the structure and execution of the songs on furniture music #2 are simple, odd, and quite catchy, with the jovial quality of songs children sing to themselves. In fact, the melody to the song furniture music #13 – corna prendete aria, was first conceived between isteronproject’s Stefano Balice and his cousin when they were children. The instrumentation is also threadbare, consisting of two small Casio keyboards, a small circuit bent Yamaha keyboard, and two Korg pocket-sized ribbon synths. In its very essence, furniture music #2 exemplifies the lo-fi aesthetic, that stripped of complex songs and fancy recording setups, an artist’s true talent and ingenuity can shine through.
El primer disco de Arín Dodó con La Gramola Netlabel consta de seis temas de una duración total de poco más de media hora. Es un trabajo que exige a quien lo escucha y no válido para oídos cómodos, pero realmente fascinante y que merece el esfuerzo de entrar en él.
Este trabajo está dedicado a Alberto Díaz Díaz, miembro y fundador de Arín Dodó.

Rete del Disagio (the uneasiness network) is not a band, and has no stable line-up.
Rete del Disagio was born when followers and supporters from different web communities as upupachan, vaporized art movement, deep lake records and mav [0kbps] records, start to physically meet to bring the noise from the net to the streets.
La Rete del Disagio non è una band, e non ha una formazione stabile.
La Rete del Disagio è nata quando frequentatori e sostenitori di diverse comunità del web come upupachan, movimento arte vaporizzata, deep lake records e mav [0kbps] records, hanno cominciato ad incontrarsi fisicamente per portare il rumore dalla rete alle strade.

British guitarist John Bisset presents a fantastic selection of his film soundtracks. Originally released on YouTube, the music has been remastered to super Hi-Fi quality.
“I sat in the sun, with the birds making merry, and played my guitar; I took refuge from the rain, wind and even snow, and played my guitar; I repaired the van, and when it was coffee time, I played. In motion, whether on foot or behind the wheel, I sang. As in any other improvising situation I had various options: to follow, to mimic, to conjoin, to oppose, to play on in spite of the racket going on around, to rest on the ambience like a ground bass, or even not to improvise at all but to play a tune… ”
For this album I have selected those pieces which stand alone without imagery.” -from John Bisset’s sleeve notes.
Available as a free download with accompanying 14 page PDF booklet, and as a numbered, limited edition double pack of DVD and audio CD.

Coming from Toon, a small Japanese town which belongs to the Ehime province, Hitoshi Asaumi delivers very unexpected sounds when compared to contemporary beat culture. Leedian disguise has been around for two years now and listening through his work one can find it difficult to categorize his music. From extreme noise, he switches fast to melodic pop backed by organic beat, then quickly back to the extreme noise .
There is an inevitable innocence deriving from his tracks, mainly with regards to their length. His music feels like an “arranged marriage” of the punk approach to composition with experimental electronic sounds. The result is rewarding and raw sounding. Jazz and electronic influences melting together in a chaotic doom-sounding noise.

The twelfth release of ionosonde recordings is all about dub techno on a micro scale. An analog synthesizers were used in this album which explored the the sonic wonders of the super high frequency (SHF) electromagnetic band where radars listen intently. This freqency rang goes by the name “the Ka band” or Kurz-above.
Using only analog gear to produce the best sound quality as posible, Telegraphy recreates sounds that might be heard by a person who’s in control of one of these radars. Atmospheric noise mixes with the steadily cycling “on’s and off’s” of the radar signal, are mimic by synthesizers. Echo’s from distant targets shows up on the view scope in the radar room, the same goes for Telegraphy as he echos his target chord.
With a compute only used as a MIDI source, Telegraphy produces ionosonde recording best sounding album.

“French new breakcore on NKS by Méconium, newcomer from Lille. If you’re into hard electronic sophisticated destruction, this is what you need, a very promising first ep.”
[fr]
“Un nouveau venu : Méconium de Lille, qui frappe fort d’entrée. Son 8 titres est un joli massacre aux selles noires finement orchestré qui démarre presque tranquille, comme on chie un gosse dans un monde de merde, avec amour et fleur bleue. Puis la sauce monte au fur et à mesure, et plutôt méchamment, en passant par Thérèse, les panzers et la Pologne.
Les 2 derniers tracks sonnent un poil plus légers, 2 explosions bien jouissives de chansons pop acidulées, notamment le Haddaway qui nous a labouré le crâne à longueur d’antenne radiophonique dans les années 90. Juste retour de boomerang. La musique pour adoucir les truffes n’a qu’à bien se tenir. J’en profite pour lever mon chapeau en hommage aux majors company à peu près décédées et aux marchands de machines musicales dernier cri toujours fringants je crois bien, genre tu en branches 11 pour sortir le dernier son trop classe.
La relève du breakcore a sonné, et je vous jure que nous les finirons, même s’il faut faire des heures supplémentaires, même le dimanche, on va tous à la chasse aux breaks et ce, dès cette seconde (j’offre une caresse sur le nez à celui qui retrouve le nom du film d’où vient cette réplique à peine modifiée).
Trève de bavardages, écoute Méconium, il te chie des briques d’un chic époustouflant.”

“These tracks are about stasis.
“Living Grass on I-70” started as a short percussion solo. I slowed it way down–something like 800%–until the sound became really degraded. Then I kept altering the pitch until the sonic degradations became the main voice in the track.
“The Finger Can’t See” is an experiment with out of phase repetition, boredom, and annoyance.
“Delicate Clock Runs the Street” is the result of a set of rules that force harmonic motion while simultaneously preventing resolution.”
“The Second Fawn” is an arrangement of a single sample (at different pitches and durations) of a Thor’s Hammer virtual synthesizer being turned off in mid-note.” – Cagey House

Sebastien desconstructs his way through Erik Satie’s work in these reimaginings of his gnossienne suite. While conserving the original work’s nostalgic, burden-heavy tones, Trans Alp breathes in what seems to be a carefully executed attempt at suspense and space. Erik Satie’s compositions wander in Trans Alp’s vast and deep world, drenched in texture and echoing in space, like a drop of water falling in a pool of static.
BeatLove is an experimental electronic music duo of Seville. It’s formed by singer Myriam Fernández and producer Benjamin Jiménez. His style mixes downtempo, ambient rhythms and breaks.
“Oscillations” is an album composed of 6 tracks, we find a crunchier style than the previous works. In this EP, BeatLove use drum machine, atmospheric chords and melodies to develop an identity and a meaning of its own within a soundscape particular.
