Far Rainbow – Somwhere Out There Was the Wave

Far Rainbow – Somwhere Out There Was the Wave
[LOR 083]

Far Rainbow

“Somwhere Out There Was the Wave”

Far Rainbow create vast neo-psychedelic slabs of gradually developing sound. “Somewhere Out There Was The Wave” is perhaps their darkest and purest release so far- a single expanding piece created from murky drones and loops and ominous percussion, the work has enormous dynamic control and intensity that sustains interest for its full duration.

“Somewhere Out There Was The Wave” was
improvised live to tape by Far Rainbow
(Emily Mary Barnett & Bobby Barry)
at Gunfactory Studios, London.

Downbeat – Introspección

Downbeat – Introspección
[DPH029]

Downbeat

“Introspección”

Downbeat is a project that mutates, changes with the time, transforms itself with life, without limits and without borders. Their second album takes the sound a step further towards experimentation. Downbeat look at their interior and connect themselves with genres they always got inspired from: Dub, Dubtronica, Jazz and Fusion.

“Introspección” is the beating of their heart, each heartbeat navigated by a different state of mind. Looking at oneself is like a magical journey within, guided by the mystical power of the ancestral plants.

The dub sounds are present throughout the album with atmospheric musical landscapes. This is not the typical dub album, trying to look like its coming out from an island … this is the dub of the mountain … the dub of the Andes … the dub of the Aconcagua … the dub of Las Heras. That’s why it’s hard, dark, cold and different. That is why it has power, hypnotism, strength and a sound of its own.

Let us navigate within ourselves, with the heart pulsating on each beat. Heavy Dub, experimental Dub, dedicated to the universe and its infinite power. A triangle for all to travel (SOUND-LIGHT-SHAPE)!

Kid Schurke & Brain Hall

“Haen Zikum Ulus”

The Swiss duo consists of Andreas Glauser, an experimental artist and musician, who is running the Zürich based art production label brainhall, and music producer and synthesizer wizzard Roman Schürch who aside from his own music has produced numerous remixes for various projects such as Saalschutz, Egotronic, Sedlmeir or Karpartenhund.
The two musicians exclusively use analogue gear such as the Korg Monotribe and manipulated mixing boards to create their amazing and unique electronic sound textures and beat patterns.

Daniele Ciullini – Forgotten Monuments

Daniele Ciullini – Forgotten Monuments
[SE078]

Daniele Ciullini

“Forgotten Monuments”

It is a real pleasure for us to present this new album by Daniele Ciullini. An intense three tracks album features ambient sounds and industrial atmospheres, endless sonic rugs hanging in the fog that envelops the forgotten monuments of the title.

“Cemetery of the rusty ships”: playing the gap between the spaces of abandoned industrial ruins imagining the noise they were now lost in the mists of a rusty future already past.

The cosmic odyssey of “Empty Factories” is a hymn to industrial decline to the emptiness from its center emerges around degrading and wrapping everything in an infinite melancholy fog.

Something is moving in the “Frozen Abandoned Buildings” where the ice becomes static straight beat, dense implacable as a tribal rite from an ancient future.

Vicnet – Voilé

Vicnet – Voilé
[D!HR-32]

Vicnet

“Voilé”

For its 32nd release, Da ! Heard It Records introduces Voilé by Vicnet, a music to explore like an unknown space and inviting to seek out the hidden behind the visible, the unheard-of behind the audible.

What can freedom possibly look like in 2017, when everything and its opposite has already been tried, contradicted, canceled, and retried? Vincent Tordjman has asked himself this question many times, especially over the last few years. Since his last album (Mr. Hadopi, released in 2010 on Da ! Heard It Records), despite being busy with adult life, he has kept his passionate heart, and surrounded with three towers filled with machines, keyboards, and rare contraptions, he has not stopped recording, recording, again, always recording. Over seven years, he has evidently accumulated the equivalent of five albums. But too indecisive, too disappointed by the ever fluctuating state of the scene around him, he hasn’t finished anything, or almost nothing. He abandoned two or three skweee disks, an electronic jazz-rock disc, more acid house, as well as compilations of hand-tweaked music composed for the nocturnal electronica scene.

Yet finally, he finished Voilé, an album of a genre that doesn’t exist, without spite and without any other ambition than that to render the unique music that hides within it—and he might have been right to wait.

For the aptly named Voilé, which title matches the impossible-to-source visuals that adorn its sleeve, is so much more than just a new album by an all-too-rare artist that too few in this unjust world would still await. It is the personal diary of a musician too talented for his own good, who, in twelve very generous pieces, poured out all that is most personal, thus best and undoubtedly most beautiful, that his musician heart could produce.

The windfall for the listener is that it doesn’t look like anything. Yet while listening to Aladin, Princess, or Bamako, the listener’s head will not be lacking in images. From the theme of the imaginary film Idée de Question to the psychedelic explosion that is the title piece, historical references are not scarce either. But locking oneself into any which song with eyes closed is all that is needed in order to understand that one is dealing with a rare case of a record played, conceived, and operated with old synths, without resembling a museum visit. A windfall, we said. Or a senseless freedom concentrate.

Csum and Sacha Rush – Portable
[COTA009]

Csum and Sacha Rush

“Portable”

Well-structured selection of rhythms, noises and melodies synthesized by the collective consciousness of two authors that were connected through the HTTP wires. Sampling is in their blood, whereas glitch for them is a well of wonderful inspiration. The final result of distant virtual interaction is a portable album of synthetic music of the third millennium.

Thomas Park – North Side Three Thirteen AM
[mn001]

Thomas Park

“North Side Three Thirteen AM”

from Thomas Park:

Incidentally, this song fits both minimalist and “New Industrial” standards– I used only sounds I collected in my South Side apartment years ago, which I then processed and composed. The main sounds are from an old set of windchimes I had– also there are sounds of bedposts and other apartment accouterments. I wanted it to use sounds from the city, to sound like the city.

Luís Antero – Sound Places: Serra do Açor, Vol. 1

Luís Antero –  Sound Places: Serra do Açor, Vol. 1
[PT047]

Luís Antero

“Sound Places: Serra do Açor, Vol. 1”

Este trabalho sonoro foi produzido com base em gravações sonoras de campo realizadas na Serra do Açor, nomeadamente na Mata da Margaraça – Área Protegida da Serra do Açor – e nas aldeias
de Monte Frio, Porto Silvado, Pomares e Gramaça, pertencentes aos concelhos de Arganil e Oliveira do Hospital, respectivamente.
Sound Places: Serra do Açor, Vol. 1, como o nome indica, constitui o primeiro trabalho de uma série dedicada à Serra do Açor e a algumas das suas aldeias.
As paisagens e marcos sonoros que as compõem, que delas
fazem parte e lhes conferem identidade, são a base de trabalho para esta série, no seguimento do trabalho artístico de arquivo e documentação sonora que venho desenvolvendo desde 2008, apelando igualmente à escuta criativa dos lugares que fazem parte deste território e a um conhecimento sensitivo dos mesmos.
Assim, uma vez mais, dá-se a conhecer a Beira Serra através
da arte dos sons, na sua multiplicidade e dinâmica sonora. Uma Ruralidade Sonora, que se sente.

This sound work was produced based on field recordings performed in the Serra do Açor, namely in the Mata da Margaraça – protected area of the Serra do Açor –and in the villages of Monte Frio, Porto Silvado, Pomares and Gramaça, belonging to the counties of Arganil and Oliveira do Hospital, respectively.
Sound Places: Serra do Açor, Vol. 1, as the name indicates, is the first work of a series dedicated to the Serra do Açor and some of its villages.
The landscapes and sound frames that constitute them, which are part of them and give them identity, are the groundwork for this series, following the artistic work of the archive and the sound documentation that I have been developing since 2008, also appealing to the creative listening of the places which are part of this territory and to a sensitive awareness of them.
Thus, once again, one gets to know Beira Serra through the art of sounds, in its multiplicity and sound dynamics. A Sonorous Rurality that one can feel.

‘Please, listen with headphones’

Luís Antero – field recordings, sound composition, photos and text
Locations – Mata da Margaraça, Monte Frio, Porto Silvado e Pomares (Arganil); Gramaça (Oliveira do Hospital) | Portugal
Date of recordings – october and november 2016

Jimmy Watt – Capture Emplace Recovery

Jimmy Watt – Capture Emplace Recovery
[SE077]

Jimmy Watt

“Capture Emplace Recovery”

Stato Elettrico presents a brand new release by Jimmy Watt from Santiago, Chile. His work methodology focuses mainly on the capture, extraction, editing and storage of audio samples from different sources:

records on the street
dialogues extracts 
audiovisual edits and converts of radio signals
uses a shortwave radio to capture foreign broadcasts
uses EVP
911 calls 
Transforms, relentlessly, curtails, beheads and sews sound works from different backgrounds and authors, providing the glue that comes from analog-digital instruments and audio processors and resulting in a “sound narration” split into parts. 

His sound works do not drop below 20 minutes for just such narrative, where there is a development from defined introduction to epilogue. 

Detests the “digital finishing” of sound with a computer. For that reason dirty, gnawing and saturated sounds prevail (but without spoiling the record), thus achieving kind of a sound archeology. 

His creative concepts pursues mysticism, the occult, time, religions, the process that leads to contemplation, the silence, the pause, the suspension, death and upstarts. 

Abuse of rhythm and melody is a necessary evil for those who can not handle a drift.
It’s like being in a large room without light. You need to touch the walls and artifacts that fill the room to feel welcome in the position and perspective.
