Ethernet Orchestra – Oceans between Sound
[pn150]
Ethernet Orchestra
“Oceans between Sound”
REVIEW / RESEÑA
Oceans between Sound is a selection of live improvisations by the internet based music ensemble, Ethernet Orchestra. The album was recorded during located venue performances and online sessions between 2014-2019, featuring musicians from a diverse range of cultures, performing across international time-zones and physical locations in Brazil, the USA, Canada, UK, Germany and Australia. The music was inspired by the ebb and flow of network data as a metaphor for the world’s oceans and waterways separating the members of the ensemble, and their geographically dispersed lives.
Oceans between Sound includes performances by internationally acclaimed improvisers such as guitarist Chris Vine, best known for his work with the British post punk band Blurt (Factory Records), and Elliott Sharp and Bob Boilen in the downtown music scenes of New York and Washington D.C. The ensemble founder, trumpeter Roger Mills, came to prominence during the 1990s with his work with the Bristol-based free jazz ensemble Space Ways and the trip-hop collective Statik Sound System (Cup of Tea Records). Performing on many of the tracks is the UK based free improviser Hervé Perez, acclaimed German pianist Holger Deuter, as well as world-renowned Moorin Khuur player and throat singer, Bukhchuluun Ganburged. The album also features a performance by the late Richard Lainhart, who worked and performed with John Cage, David Tudor, Steve Reich, Phill Niblock, David Berhman, and Rhys Chatham. His musical contributions to Seymareh ensure his presence continues to live on in our music.
A salient characteristic of the recordings on Oceans between Sound is how they reflect the materiality of the telematic performance medium. Musical sound travels through multiple networks, and is subject to a variety of operational conditions, latency, speeds, compression, and jitter. These phenomena imprint themselves on the sound as an aesthetic parameter within the music, rather like the crackle of an old vinyl album. These sonic qualities are also a testament to the incredible feat of musicians performing in real-time across distances of thousands of kilometres.

Sinistra – I
[phokes139]
Sinistra
“I”
Dave & Suzan Vega Combo hit the minds,
bleak winds in the back,
rolling words of wisdom, techno style.
Out of the cold depths new art forms appear.
This year Phonocake presents sinistra,
first digitally, later on tape.
sinistra is a blend of dark ambient, techno and poetry made by
composer Daniel Williams and author Anne Seidel.
“Our aim is to head for the ritual and the hidden, and to open
everything up into a warm sonic and literary darkness. We do
not write or prepare the music for any of the tracks or material.
All performances in the combination of words and music are
improvised.” (Daniel Williams)

Nicolas Tourney – Ram
[BN_LP028_02_20]
Nicolas Tourney
“Ram”
Nicolas Tourney is a french experimental musician and sound designer, also owner of the label Snow in Water Records. With Ram, he offers us an electronic work focused on perception and act of listening, with the use of various sound devices and drones. Ram is a work in-progress with long-sustained tones. Ram submit to the listener some perceptual experience: there would be a “sound” as object of perception and source of this same perception. This held sound that we dress by calling it a soundscape, spacing exploration from the gesture. Look at what draws us to a sound, how listening gets caught up in it, and how it draws our attention to an experience. Ram sounds like a suspense that opens onto interiority. In this silence, the listener finds himself contemplating the act of listening, as if it is the constant noise of natural electricity.

Laurent Fairon – QUIRKS
Laurent Fairon
“QUIRKS”
Hi, there,
Maybe you’ll fing something to your tastes in my new project QUIRKS:
https://laurentfairon.bandcamp.com/album/quirks
The blurb:
The QUIRKS mini album combines various scattered audio remains –vinyl detritus, found sounds and spoken word– to produce new sound chimeras and audio collages with a life of their own.
The QUIRKS concept and methodology were inspired by a famous US boardgame from the 1980s, where cards of various animal parts combine to create new, imaginary creatures – the cover artwork chosen for this Bandcamp album intended to emulate the mood as well.
This project is also indebted to US provocateurs Bill Buchanan and Dickie Goodman, who pioneered the “break-in” record in the 1950s, or plunderphonics avant la lettre.
L.F.: vinyl, found sounds, loops, artwork
Best,
Laurent Fairon

Tijana Stanković – Freezer
[LOM17]
Tijana Stanković
“Freezer”
Freezer is an album of raw and emotive improvisations by Serbian violinist-vocalist Tijana Stanković. Her chosen theme, the proverbial ‘freezer’, makes for a stark setting, serving as both a musical metaphor and literally the echoey meat freezer in Bratislava where the music was created and recorded. “Freezer is a place of cruelty and hope,” Stanković says. “It is a metaphor – an inner place where thoughts and feelings wait to be addressed.”
Though a dedicated free improviser, Stanković’s background in folk and Ethnomusicology puts her in touch with an ancient emotional syntax. Her key tools – violin and vocals – both yearn with an organic and creaking fragility, tied irrevocably to old cultures. As a means to express, they offer boundless possibilities (something Stanković has long explored in a vast array of collaborative groups, ensembles, and projects), but locker herself in the Freezer, on these recordings Stanković gains access to some potent introverted sonic realms, putting them in stasis to keep them at their most genuine, honest, and revealing. “To freeze,” she explains, ”is to preserve.”
Each of the four lengthy improvisations captured on Freezer takes its aesthetic to a logical endpoint. For example, ‘From dust and shine’ is a trip into gentle bow strokes over jarring and… more

Great, Green Stones…
“Works from the Absurd Pool in January”
This mini-album contains created tracks based on field recordings that have been minimally edited with a ‘gate’ effect on Ableton Live. The recordings on this album mainly contain sounds of background noise, the experimentation of blowing into pool noodles to make a horn-like timbre and some other electronic experimental glitches and minimal sounds. This is delivered all in 8 kbps MP3 files, which are all converted to a Mono output. The sample rate of all the files is placed at 12.000 kHz.

LUIS MARTE – A PICTURE
[PT098]
LUIS MARTE
“A PICTURE”
This is a work that combines two different disciplines, one visual and one auditory. By combining the photographs of several visual artists, it is mixed through a conductive thread, so that in this conjunction it achieves the perfect union of two aspects of art, photography and sound.
The methodology used to realize this work was to ask each guest artist for a photograph, allowing absolute freedom in its composition. At the same time the guests were asked to create an ambient sound recording from the place in which the picture was taken, using any medium they had on hand (cell phones, recorders, cameras, etc.)
Then each of those recordings was processed using different techniques. They were passed through tapes, processed with pedals, digitally processed on iPad, looped on tape, even sound degradation was used.
