The second album by Everywhere Kingdom follows the strict rules of the first release: All the sounds here are improvised, with no specific ideas as to style, rhythm, with open mind, letting whatever happens to happen. That said, this offering is quite different from the previous release – the recorded melodies, improvised using synths, guitars and effect pedals, were trimmed from meaningless meanderings and the most lyrical, trancelike repetitions were chosen and then meticulously layered atop one another in order to create bigger, sparkling wholes. However, apart from layering, no further processing was done post-recording.
The result is “2 (Blue)”. Often not sounding improvised at all, due to the melodical motifs developing gradually and being repeated to achieve hypnotic effects. Reverbing walls of guitars, blurry or shapr clear synth melodies flowing and intertwining, bubbling and gurgling effects combine into a pleasant, if often bordering on noisy, hallucinogenic sound trip.

on trevas redux, his first album for pan y rosas, o divino reprocesses the sound of his saxophone and adds intermittent percussion and electronics to create a dark dream world. black lodge jazz club silencio action. a ship at sea. wood under duress. riverbed percussion. low throb of the old ones. glacial pack ice friction. radio transmissions to and from.
D’incise: laptop, objects
Marcel Chagrin: guitare, amp, bass drum
Almost twenty years ago, large scale protests against the construction of the road were ignored and Wanstonia was one of several ‘free states’ set up by occupying environmental activists along the proposed route.
The album, although at times resonant of sadness felt, is also a resilient, optimistic and an occasionally humorous expression of sonic life by the fast lane.
Previously known as Vole and ViV, the group’s third release is also a photographic exhibition with the recordings
Release includes PDF Booklet of notes and photographs.
Available soon…
his first album for pan y rosas discos, winterreise, is a concerto for cello and free ensemble. the orchestra part of the concerto is conceived for a “free ensemble,” wherein the different parts, entirely written, can be played on many different instruments – invented, traditional, or otherwise (as long as it exists). sounds like – instant action. thump glissando murmur. string pulse. swirl breath taps. rise fall tones. build repetition drone.
In the foreground, ethereal vocals and frenzied guitar carry on an improvised dialogue. “Forget The Theory” captures the energy of their alternating conflict and cooperation. Behind them there’s tension of another kind, as club-inspired drum beats threaten to melt into jazz cross-rhythms.
This album was built off basslines: some abstract and symmetrically structured, some just funky. Either way, every tune was designed to make you nod your head. Enjoy the bouncy pulse and powerful perfomances of a young band playing with passion.

on their first album for pan y rosas they use various percussion instruments; wind instruments; and the sound of their environment – friends and family, water, wind, bonfire, etc. all these elements combine to form a bridge between ritual and improvisation. objects. night. voice. wind. sparse. rattle. quietly passing through the gateless gate.
CoEx adds another country – ireland – to the tonAtom map. and CoEx adds a new facet to the tonAtom styles of music with his own sound between sequential music and live improvisation, influenced by dub reggae, afro beat and art rock.
9 instrumental tracks, well-polished and mostly electronic. served with some topping of violins or percussion resulting in what the artist’s bio rightly calls the CoEx signature sound.
The two musicians collaborate for many years in different formations in improvised music contextes. The duo developp a subtil work that explores the relations between the very electronic sounds of the accordion and the instrumental potential of the electronic. They create a fragmented and tensed sound univers, always open to the present and the accidents.

He collaborates regularly as accordionist in improvised and conceptual contexts with musicians such Michel Doneda, Christian Wolfarth, Olivier Toulemonde, Hans Koch, Alfredo Costa Monteiro, Duo Diatribes, Jacques Demierre, Christian Kesten, Gaudenz Badrutt, Chris Heenan, … .
