This album is dedicated to the moment I stopped screaming at the Octatrack manual and watched a bunch of instruction videos on Youtube instead.
So, my thanks to Cuckoo, Ron Cavagnaro, Max Marco, Loopop, Ricky Tinez, André Neumann, Kenny Zhao and Dataline.
Apparently many people use this to make dance music. I found that you can give each of the eight tracks a different time signature, so these wobble along in a decidedly unstable manner. You might need to get drunk to dance to it…
“‘Abstrakthas’ by the Cuban artist Baltazár, is a work that was published independently in 2009, and which now
sees the light of a label release for the first time.
A mix between the classical, the digital, music concréte, architecture, voices and endless possibilities, all of
them modulated by infinite reverberations that merge as the tracks develop, with sounds that oscillate in all
directions while delivering an overwhelming listening experience.
In its composition, the album ‘Abstrakthas’ uses the violin as a conductive thread that pulls the different
works of the publication together into a melancholic story that, in some way or another, incites a deep
reflection on the various sounds that are revealed as the work progresses, playing with the mood perception and
delivering a wide range of sensations.
Recorded mostly as independent stereo tracks, which are subsequently superimposed with the purpose of realizing
a maticulous and patient sonic construction, based on the sonic blocks resulting from these recordings,
‘Abstrakthas’ is also the first chapter of the larger work ‘bordermuzak’, which collects all the artist’s
works from 1999 to 2016. It should be noted, however, that ‘bordermuzak’ does not compile the works
chronologically but rather as chapters of a novel written over the years.”

Release notes
~~~~~~~~~~~
This album had as source material only audio from the performance of Tiholaz appeared on Videorecords.ch. Neither synthesizer nor other audio samples were used for this remix. All extracted audio samples were then processed and put together to songs.
The parental advisory’s warning, is no longer used today. the language of everyday life has broken the glass of censorship in the face of mothers against rock.
However Plastika would not need any stamp: your ears are ready to swallow this poet ante litteram that chews digital hardcore, cantautore and do it yourself. Proudly self-produced in everything from texts to recording.
Plastika are 12 tracks of a continuous loading and unloading of energy, in the form of syncopated shots and more intimate and rarefied passages.
Approved with the stamp by In Your Ears Netlabel.
A system created to analyze reality and perception got its inputs removed because it was going out of control. This fix damaged the reality by feedbacking the system on its repercussions causing incorrect analysis until the dream of reality became a stream of negative numbers. The resistance against the system was initiated to prevent it from corrupting the perception of reality, even though, it was already shaping the perception the way it wanted to, because the reality did not favour the system.
Broken and syncopated stream of percussive attack, punching through disharmonic leftovers in reverberation, not welcoming you at all by constantly reminding of its continuously corrupting state.
Recorded Live at Sala La Fusa (Valparaiso), Chile on March 2019.
Drums: Israel Tenor
Alto Saxophone: Lucas Pizarro

Jean Ray is the sound project of pluridisciplinary artist Romain Arnette, based in Paris and initially formed in London in 2009.
Experimentation is at the heart of his creative process. He uses different instruments such as guitar, harmonica, percussions, also fields recordings to create a bank of textures and sounds that he transforms and manipulates. The superposition of these fragments combined with electronic sound sources and some software such as pool creates minimalist compositions, an enveloping sound mass where repetitive structures meet sometimes abstract rhythms.
“Le Refuge” album was composed at the end of a two-years stay in Canada, from 2017 to 2019. This album is marked by several isolation experiments in various natural environments, during his crossing of Canada from east to the west by the road.
It also reflects the gradual slowing down of time that allowed him to observe more precisely the environment in which he has evolved, and brought him to moments of deeper introspections.
All tracks recorded and mixed by Jean Ray.
Mastering by Jan Wysozky.

This album was written over a two-year period with a great amount of effort and psychological experiences, inner turmoil – I understood that I was falling into an abyss with no bottom… no bottom…
“Replika” offers many doors to other dimensions, to other universes, and to other worlds. This is the starting point of an endless journey through the secrets of the universe, where each track is a separate journey through different worlds.
This album was recorded using analog and digital synthesis with instruments such as KORG PROPHESY, KORG M3, and KORG-Z1.

DR (Dominic Razlaff), born 1982, is a sound artist from Lower Saxony, Germany.
He usually plays synthesizers, acoustic instruments (Ukulele & Cavaquinho) and he uses field recordings, tape loops & granular synthesis for composing slow ambient and drone soundscapes.
Over the years (he has a long discography) he developed his poetics focusing on an open approach and on a precise choice of making beatless music.
This is his second appear on IYE label after Nina Sergejewna. This time is more focues on long patterns of deep ambient vaves.
Before Black and White is a song exclusively written for drumset, which definitely provoke usual listening habits kindly. His percussion instrument becomes a storyteller. No longer convinient drumbeat, but sounding drums. Dave causes the drumheads to oscillate, so that you inevitably start to pause and pay attention.
The inspiration for single spawns from the thought, that black and white photography was the first real step in the direction of mass documentation of humans to where we have gone to today and reminds one that those things that we hold so dear are not permanent. Like us. Humans focused more on life and living it back then and less on documenting it like we constantly do today.
