Thuuooom – neo ep
[thump326]

Thuuooom

“neo ep”

This ep is a result of an evening session conducted in 2020. It mixes rhythmic patterns of the previous full length Thuoom album Luonto with the sounds of a live performance at Ambient Evening “Lux Archipelago” November 22nd, 2019 where Thuoom, using exclusively nature field recordings, performed alongside other musicians. The resulting sounds are more ambient-y than rhythmic, hence the use of moniker Thuuooom.

Instruments used on this record: Field recordings captured with a binaural Soundman OKM II Classic Solo microphone attached to a Zoom H4n Pro portable recorder.

Spore Designers – A SEED IN TIME

Spore Designers – A SEED IN TIME
[LCNLP177]

Spore Designers

“A SEED IN TIME”

The Necrophile Hummingbirds Netlabel presents A SEED IN TIME by Spore Designers.

Composition : HOMO | Recomposition : OresteS

“Timeless Psychoactive Music for Ambient Music Lovers”

In early August 2023, I was having a hard time navigating the Threshold Of Boredom (cf. Sleazy Peter Christopherson). Most of my contacts were on holidays and I was feeling lonelier than ever.
Having too much (?) time on my hands and having just been acquainted with Bull Of Heaven (check them!), I decided to tackle my pathological impatience and gardening disability by creating a sound piece lasting as long as possible (within my possibilities); it ended up as SEED IN PROGRESS, 20 hours long.
I invested, digested and regurgitated a good deal of my released and unreleased music into it, acquiring a small crumb of patience by every sound effect taking, literally, 40 hours to complete, during which I had to go on with the “rest of my life” and wait.
When I made SEED IN PROGRESS available, Orestes kindly offered to rework it into something else, with numerological wisdom, condensing the original 20 hours into 3 hours, 33 minutes, 33 seconds.
Here we are. Here it is. Here we is.

(The original 20-hours SEED IN PROGRESS is freely available from musicforunion@gmail.com. It is very different from this, with much more silence and much less activity, for which i am so grateful to Orestes. All Hail The Necrophile Hummingbirds In Our Souls.)

So these words by HOMO tell all about it, I just answered to the amazing sound piece HOMO did (be sure to check it!), I could add that the essence of creation is that chat through time and space between dreamers, like a being split in so many parts trying to understand what happens. But is it really necessary not to keep silent this, when You can dream of the future ?

“Klangreise”

cover photo & design by EMERGE
steel sculpture “In Position” by Moretto (1992)

Inspired by the healing effects of music, Sven Phalanx provides meditative deep relaxation on this release and embarks on a dream journey into his inner being together with the listener.
Singing bowls, field recordings, drones and synthesizers merge into one.
>From a spiritual point of view, the soul is made to vibrate on a sound journey. This can lead to a self-awareness through the intensive perception of the senses.

Healing sounds are intended to bring the body into a deeply relaxed state so that it can let go and reorient itself and rearrange itself.

During the application, the soul should be cleaned and freed in order to be able to recharge your batteries.

9VoltDisaster – Film Space

9VoltDisaster – Film Space
[mi303]

9VoltDisaster

“Film Space”

This album undertakes an experimental journey through the realm of short films that have crossed my path. Its intricate melodies weave sonic landscapes that breathe life into scenarios existing solely within my dreams, mirroring the narratives of ordinary souls adrift in the vast cosmos.

As the music unfolds, it metamorphoses into a vessel, carrying listeners to distant galaxies, where shimmering starships navigate celestial highways, and the boundless cosmos beckons with its unfathomable mysteries. Within these intricate layers of sound, the memories of ordinary individuals lost in the cosmic expanse and encounters with celestial entities come to life, resembling living constellations adorning the canvas of space and time.

Film Space serves as a radiant portal to nostalgia, an auditory journey that invites us to cherish our precious planet over the relentless pursuit of new worlds, echoing the wisdom found in classic science fiction tales.

It stands as a testament to the eternal power of human imagination, where the echoes of retrofuturism resonate, encouraging us to protect our Earth and explore uncharted territories within our dreams and aspirations.

3 priiises V/A project come back with a new volume.
01 – Sonido Postal – Confluence

De forma artificial, el audio toma forma de collage progresivo, donde la mezcla de grabaciones de campo comienzan en entornos naturales, con sonidos que representan esa espacialidad, poco a poco va mutando hacia sonidos en los cuales los humanos tienen alguna participación más directa, dilucidando de a poco un sonido más urbano, hasta terminar en el ruido de la ciudad, que refleja más la parte industrial de la misma.
Confluencia retrata una mínima posibilidad de las diferencias y similitudes que pueden contener estos entornos, pudiendo ser apreciados a través del sonido y la representación visual imaginativa, ya sea del lago o el mar, hasta la ciudad.

El audio es una recolección de grabaciones de campo realizadas en diferentes lugares de Argentina, realizado por Damián Alférez:
– Playa acantilados, Mar del plata (sonidos de piedras y el mar).
– Laguna de los Padres, Mar del Plata, Buenos Aires (sonidos del agua, cotorras, gente, insectos).
– Chapadmalal, Buenos Aires (sonidos de ranas y perros).
– Mar del Plata, Buenos Aires ( sonido de gotas de agua en un departamento).
– Puerto Madryn, Chubut (sonidos de la calle, llamadores de ángeles, skates).
– Centro de la ciudad de Mar del Plata (sonidos de vehículos, ventiladores, interferencias).
– José Marmol, Buenos Aires (sonidos de vehículos, y vendedor de chatarra).

Artificially, the audio takes the form of a progressive collage, where the mix of field recordings begins in natural environments, with sounds that represent that spatiality, little by little it mutates towards sounds in which humans have some more direct participation, elucidating little by little a more urban sound, until ending in the noise of the city, which reflects more the industrial part of it.

Confluence portrays a minimal possibility of the differences and similarities that these environments can contain, being able to be appreciated through sound and imaginative visual representation, be it from the lake or the sea, to the city.

The audio is a collection of field recordings made in different places in Argentina, recorded by Damián Alférez:

– Cliffs beach, Mar del Plata (sounds of stones and the sea).
– Laguna de los Padres, Mar del Plata, Buenos Aires (sounds of water, parrots, people, insects).
– Chapadmalal, Buenos Aires (sounds of frogs and dogs).
– Mar del Plata, Buenos Aires (sound of water drops in an apartment).
– Puerto Madryn, Chubut (sounds of the street, angel callers, skates).
– Mar del Plata city center (vehicle sounds, fans, interference).
– José Marmol, Buenos Aires (vehicle sounds, and junk dealer).

03 – Les Soulèvements du Vivant – Flagrance

Extrait de la Casserolade du Lundi 17 Avril 2023 à 20h à Dole (France). Captation réalisée pour documenter le mouvement de résistance à la politique antidémocratique d’Emmanuel Macron.
Il n’a pas hésité à imposer sa réforme des retraites à l’aide de l’article 49.3 sans vote de l’assemblée nationale et ce malgré une opposition massive de la population à son projet de réforme des retraites : 93 % des actifs en janvier selon une étude de l’institut Montaigne et 80% de l’ensemble de la population selon un sondage Odoxa-Agipi en janvier 2023. Refusant de prendre en compte les manifestations qui ont eu lieu pendant des mois. Se drapant dans le mensonge de sa légitimité alors qu’il n’a été élu qu’en s’appuyant sur le rejet du rassemblement national. Spontanément la population a repris le principe des casserolades du printemps d’érable pour lui signifier que ses mensonges ne feraient plus jamais illusion. Les coups de sifflets annoncent le moment où la casserolade est partie en manifestation sauvage.

Extract from the Casserolade which took place on Monday April 17, 2023 at 8 p.m. in Dole (France). Recording made to document the resistance movement to the anti-democratic politics of Emmanuel Macron.
He did not hesitate to enforce his pension reform using Article 49.3 without a vote from the National Assembly, despite massive opposition from the population to his pension reform project: 93% of the labour force according to a study by the Montaigne Institute published in January 2023 and 80% of the entire population according to an Odoxa-Agipi poll, also published in January 2023. Therefore refusing to take into account the protests that took place for months across the country. Selfassuming the lie of his legitimacy when he was elected on the rejection of the National Gathering only. Spontaneously the population took up the principle of maple spring casseroles to let him know that his lies would never deceive anymore. The whistles announce the moment when the casserolade turns into wild protests.

Illustration de la prise de son photographiée par Christophe Martin lors du rassemblement en soutien aux victimes des sbires de la macronie à Sainte-Soline, afin de montrer que la lutte écologique et la lutte sociale sont désormais indissociables.

This illustrates the sound recording that was pictured by Christophe Martin during the protest in support of the victims of the macronie’s henchmen at Sainte-Soline, in order to show that ecological and social struggles have now become inextricably tied up.

Rani Jambak & Yenting Hsu

“《O​-​ksi​氣​-​2》”

OXYGEN

It’s a sound journey about city and nature, artificial and natural environment.

By an interesting coincidence, Yenting Hsu and Rani Jambak both had same experience by living in Australia several years ago. Being far away from their own land made them more aware of their own culture or environment. That was their big inspiration to start their own project about environment “Waterland” and #formynature. By then, Rani and Yenting keep following their interest and exploring their own culture and environment through sound.

Although both grew up in the city, but they are fascinated by their own natural scape. Yenting lives in Taiwan, with the sea surrounded. Rani lives in Medan, close to the rain forest – Leuser Ecosystem. Two different nature scene make them connect through OXYGEN where rain forest and ocean are the most important to produce oxygen.

All tracks are composed by 2 different soundscapes of city and nature from Taiwan and Medan, North Sumatra. Experimenting many style of composition, Rani and Yenting collaborate in different type of production by sharing their sound collections and mixing each sound back and forth. They try to meditate on how human and nature coexist and question the possibility of harmony.

This album is the final result of an online residency project “∀ Flλ ≡nters. ∥mmense βreath of ⊥he ∫ea:ℝesidency” organized by Open Contemporary Art Center in 2021-2022.

YAMA YUKI – Tufan

YAMA YUKI – Tufan
[IHab154]

YAMA YUKI

“Tufan”

For this work I used solely the sounds of a typhoon that I experienced over the summer. That day, I recorded what happened during the 24 hours from the arrival of the typhoon, then, I composed a track upon these materials.
The strong winds caused abrupt changes in the soundscape, hitting the surface of things outside. Rain washed over the streets, water flew rapidly, and insects seemed to respond to the surrounding noises with their singing.

This track was created as part of my study to understand how intensely humans and surrounding objects/beings are subjected to external natural forces. If you happen to be outside during a natural hazard, there is no way you can avoid being involved in it. Throughout human history, we have continuously tried to protect ourselves from the force of nature, but that is still an impossible task, and we always find ourselves vulnerable to it. In this work, I wanted to explore the theme of vulnerability of human existence within this world. Tufan means “rainstorm” or “flood’ in Turkish and it has its origin in Arabic, but similar words are found in many languages, including the Japanese “Taifu”.»

Recorded and assembled by Yama Yuki.
