Takuro Takeda – Reflection

Takuro Takeda – Reflection
[mi320]

Takuro Takeda

“Reflection”

Nine months later Takuro Takeda returns with another beautiful EP with just 4 tracks.

These are deliciously down-tempo arrangements, which, when allowed to stretch to five minutes lock the listener into a deep and fantastical daydream.

A collection of four tracks that’s more like a kind of therapy, if that doesn’t sound too New Age – Takeda’s music is much more epic and expansive and emotionally reflective than New Age.

In other words, if you listen BoC you’ll like Takeda’s music.

“METAVERSE”

What a strange “Best Of” ?

“Electromotorik Hardtek for Post-Industrial lovers”

Outrageous long for a best of indeed, but how to make a smaller one with such a project ?
I wanted to make it since few years in fact, but it’s only with the DRACO accident that I understood I’ve got the final piece of this puzzle. I recorded a two hours session with my very enjoyable new set, I listened it and it was pretty like a new start for the project, but the morning after when I wanted to edit it, I was no more able to listen it, the sd card had a problem, and after the fix the data was moved on another track impossible to be read. Then I only had the seven last minutes on another track, this is this DRACO track. So I kept only that rescued part and decided that it’s fine like this. What would have been able to do with so many music when the two parts of METAVERSE are already 6h long ? I had planned to add already 2 other unreleased tracks Night And Day & Day And Night, but more would have been too much.

I need to explain a little the origin of this project it was at a time I noticed that in the concerts as well than beer drinkers only need a drummer for enjoy the music,
the same way the ravers only need a bumper. That’s why the early steps were without any rhythm at all. From this kind of enjoyable challenge came something like forty cassette tapes of improvisation called “Agonies”.
The reason of the name is because of the electric charge I was receiving while playing, doing the junction with my fingers in the electric circuit of old toy synthesizers.
It was a strange sensation, this electric venom making my glottis curl up all the session long. Next I began to use an electric frequency generator.
Strange “best of” because there is none of this agony tapes. From the early time I only kept two tracks from Necktar compilation. So no one will ear early tapes like the insane concerto for whales or the last state of euphoria…
Also in electronic music there is often remix albums, a way to connect with friends :
S K U M / Berthelot / Damaryliss / Flying Species / KHAOMAN / MARUDA / ardleg / Planetaldol / M. Nomized. The upgrade album being done by Studio112.
For METAVERSE, You have a first part track 01 to 17 only solo.
and the second part 18 to 33 with friends.

“I Joyfully Await The Exit”

The Necrophile Hummingbird netlabel presents I Joyfully Await The Exit by Yoshiwaku.

“Suicidal Music for full of Hope People”

Live improvisation recorded in July 2024 at the Cave Haven in Foucherans.
This is a kind of tribute to Frida Kahlo.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frida_Kahlo
Beware If you are fragile avoid to listen this, because it’s quite heavy material. Suicide is a no return operation, think twice before to exit.
If you know what you are looking for turn off the light and listen loud.

Special thanks to the Studio112’s urban explorer for the sleeve photography.

Note that the quote on Bizarre Death Wish is not by Frida Kahlo but Rebecca Martin.
Same thing for Viva La Vida…

Dedicated to those conscious that they are human viruses and prefer persevere to survive because they know that staying in this world will change it at some point. Well, never give up. And you will see the dawn.

This album and all the albums of the netlabel are now on air on the Internet Radio Free Albemut h o r s n o r m e

Wahn – Drifted Vol. 2

Wahn – Drifted Vol. 2
[mhrk409]

Wahn

“Drifted Vol. 2”

Following the spectral echoes of “Drifted Vol. 1” (on AFTER AFFECTS REC, France), Wahn returns, debuting on Mahorka, with “Drifted Vol. 2”, a deeper plunge into the abyss where despair looms heavier, yet faint glimmers of hope still emerge like distant stars in an endless night. The soundscape is darker, more cinematic, with grainy textures crackling like fractured memories. Lush, slow-motion atmospheres stretch into the void, embracing the listener in a weighty melancholy, where piano keys occasionally pierce the darkness like fragile rays of light, offering fleeting moments of solace.

In this second chapter, Wahn pushes deeper into the balance between hopelessness and the persistence of light. Cinematic undertones weave through the tracks, amplifying the immersive sense of narrative. The sub-bass resonates like a rumble from the earth’s core, making the body itself an instrument in this journey, grounding the ethereal melodies with a tactile, visceral presence. The ambient realms are thicker, more haunting, yet at times they break open to reveal a brief but tender embrace of warmth. Each track unfolds like a slow, mournful exhale, drawing the listener deeper into an intimate dance of sorrow and fragile hope.

Join Wahn as he continues this odyssey, where textures grow darker, the light more elusive, and the journey more introspective. Drifted Vol. 2 is a cinematic exploration into the profound depths of despair, with sub-bass vibrations and fleeting moments of light that make the experience as physical as it is emotional.

MRTN-CSTR – Radiam

MRTN-CSTR – Radiam
[pn236]

MRTN-CSTR

“Radiam”

MRTN-CSTR‘s recent offering to Pueblo Nuevo, the EP titled “Radiam”, appears with music soaked in the “gamer” spirit, but not necessarily in its sonority, which is developed through other methods. By this I mean that while it alludes to the aesthetics of video games, in terms of speed and energy, at the same time it moves away from the rudimentary 8-bit sound associated with its origins.

Castro has labeled his work “Midi Art”, a production based on the use of sequencers that interact with both hardware and virtual devices, and whose characteristic is music that circulates in fast tempos, perhaps relating to the AFX world or the more digital Squarepusher, to name a couple of popular references. In this album we can hear short melodic lines that overlap and evolve carefully and, sometimes, frenetically, as in “Integraton” or in “Radiam”, the title track for this release.

These are four carefully crafted compositions, which enjoy a well crafted audio mix, with a mastering that does not sacrifice timbres in favor of volume, and an interesting point of view and musical personality, which strengthens the career of the Argentine musician, who has already traveled the label’s road with two previous releases, oscillating in different electronic styles, always with his ears set on personal experimentation.

Orghanon – Future in Motion

Orghanon – Future in Motion
[mhrk406]

Orghanon

“Future in Motion”

Orghanon is the solo venture of Sergio Calzoni, producer and musician active since the nineties in various musical outfits (Act Noir, Colloquio, ILUITEQ).

His 2015 debut “Figures In Slow Motion” (Eibon Records) seamlessly fused trip-hop sonorities with jazz, ambient and glitch elements. It was followed by soundtrack for the theatre performance “F_rankenstein” (2016), the sophomore “Retrospectre” on the cult-boutique Time Released Sound and, after a little hiatus, “Droneworks I-V” (2022) on the Italian label St.An.Da.

While 2023 and early 2024 saw some spectacular output of ILUITEQ (Sergio Calzoni & Andrea Bellucci), August 2024 sees the return of Orghanon with a debut on Mahorka, “Future in Motion”, an album which reconnects with the multifaceted sound that distinguished the first album of Orghanon, but in which the concept of motion becomes more dynamic and accelerated, compared to the static nature and slow movements of “Figures In Slow Motion”

Released August 22, 2024 as free (cc) digital download and beautiful limited edition Digipak CD.

“Sane Beats”

The only thing that matters is beats.
This album is compiled from various tracks spanning two decades – starting from experiments while I was still at school, and ending with the ones composed during the middle-age crisis.
You will hear that there are differences in the way they sound, but my love for rhythm-focused music has never changed.
It’s a journey through a world of beats, exploring the depths of minimalistic techno, the heights of uplifting drum and bass complexity, and transcending dimensions with conceptual IDM conceptuality.
All of those beats are sane – but due to careful and patient hand-crafting they seem to be insane.

{AN} EeL & My Hidden Agenda – Higher Standards

{AN} EeL & My Hidden Agenda

“Higher Standards”

My solo track “Higher Standards” reflected the desire to rise above challenges. It was truly wonderful to see how sharing the stems of this track with the Canadian artist Neal D. Retke a.k.a. {AN} EeL evolved into an entire album filled with beautiful ambient soundscapes inspired by Pauline Oliveros’ deep listening philosophy.

Interestingly, it also echoed Dawn Landes’ approach of turning Rachel Carson’s birdsong notation into music. Carson, a marine biologist and the author of “Silent Spring”, sparked massive changes in the US environmental laws after the book’s publication in 1962, which ultimately led to the ban of DDT. She had documented bird calls and transcribed a melody of birdsong on a piece of railway stationery from the now-defunct Portland Rose train line. Landes took that melody from Carson’s notes and turned it into music. The album cover of “Higher Standards”, photographed by Neal, complements the music on our collaborative album beautifully and draws yet another obvious parallel to Landes’ creative approach. You might wonder if birds have higher standards than humans. It seems possible – after all, they certainly know how to reach great heights.

Paul* Hermansen

“act”

Worked on this on and off for about 2 years, because I occasionally felt nostalgic for bass wobbles, wonky beats and lofi atmos.
This schizophrenic EP sits uncomfortably somewhere in between early 2000s UK dubstep and the kind of computer music I normally do.
The last tune is a “proper rinsin” dubstep banger, whereas the rest of the pieces of this EP refract the idiomatic timbres and rhythms of dubstep through an abstracting prism.
Although download is free, please consider paying something, because Saoirse and I are very poor, and in order to make music, we have to eat something.

Pablo Gomez Bate – Dinamica Estructural
[pn234]

Pablo Gomez Bate

“Dinamica Estructural”

Right from the opening bars of the album, prominent, deep, and well-defined bass lines emerge, hinting at the sonic textures to be discovered throughout this journey, accompanied by syncopated pulses flirting with hip hop, IDM, and, why not, nods to urban rhythms.

As the minutes pass, playful elements come to the fore. Samples sourced from various places, such as movies or cartoons, bring a smile to the listener’s face upon recognition, revealing a different musical approach from this artist compared to his previous works. We can also recognize small synths (almost toy-like) that complement the sonic spectrum with subtle textures and melodies, along with other analog elements like guitars that occasionally appear within the soundscape, transporting us to different terrains within the same track.

As we approach the middle section of this work, the path becomes more intricate. The landscapes take on a grayer hue, and the textures surrounding us transform into denser layers, making us pay more attention to the details and pause to contemplate with greater precision what Gómez Bate is proposing.

Finally, we arrive at a more tranquil harbor, with the sensation of having completed a diverse sonic journey, filled with curves and nooks that leave us in a pleasant state of enjoyment, having listened to a well-told story with corners to explore the next time we embark on this voyage.

Cairo Braga

“JUVENILIA: Originals, Vol. 4”

as 2004 went on, I ended up going into deeper experimentation with samples and beats, eventually pairing those with dissonant and obsessive melodies. it was one of the most musically prolific years of my teens. thanks to that, I was finally able to feel my evolution as a producer in real time. before that year all my music sounded the same to me. after that year I learned how to listen to myself and to notice that I could sound very different from song to song without ever letting go of being me: maybe I was developing a style?

com o andar de 2004 acabei entrando em experimentações mais profundas com samples e batidas, eventualmente combinando-os com melodias dissonantes e obsessivas. foi um dos anos musicalmente mais prolíficos da minha adolescência. graças a isso, finalmente pude sentir minha evolução como produtor em tempo real. antes daquele ano, todas as minhas músicas soavam iguais pra mim. depois daquele ano aprendi a me ouvir e a perceber que podia soar muito diferente de música pra música, sem nunca deixar de ser eu: talvez eu estivesse desenvolvendo um estilo?
