Sergi Boal – Cercle

[AT036]

Sergi Boal

“Cercle”

“A transposition of the soul into sound waves” NetMusic Life

“Cercle” is my most spiritual project. the most introspective. In this little EP the music flows, the themes don’t have any concrete structure, and maybe this gives the sensation of a visual dream, the sensation that you are floating, and you could create images, thoughts, sensations…. Not having a concrete structure, there’s no beginning, no end ; it’s like a circle! All the songs were recorded in one or two takes.only with a nylon guitar.
The music was almost improvised, except the theme “NILS” that was a rework of the pianist Nils Frahm, from one song of his album “Screws”, trying to “move” the sounds of his personal piano, to the guitar..
I recorded this EP with Hector Xiqués ( I/O Estudi de Gravació, Barcelona),and we tried to give that especial sound of the guitar, with some delays, and reverbs.
Nuvol ( Cloud) Angel Blau ( blue angel) Cercle (circle) Nils ( rework of Nils Frahm Composition ” LA” Sense tu…res… ( without you…..nothing)
please, sit down and dream……………..

This is a joint release with Alchemistica netlabel

Zeus Scientist – Zeus LP

[djummi.004]

Zeus Scientist

“Zeus LP”

ZEUS LP is the first collection of sounds that were discovered by the Zeus Scientist Research Group, led by physicist Eric Rogers at Princeton University from 1942 until 1971. The twelve sounds which can be heard are in chronological order, dating back to the 19th century. Strange as it seems, ZEUS LP follows musical structures that were completely ahead of its time. How could these sounds be made? Who made them? And why would someone do that?

Sergi Boal – Silenci

[AT035]

Sergi Boal

“Silenci”

This is my second Cd. After “Nylon and Turtle”, that was only guitar, I tried to experiment with other instruments and other musicians. In the work “silenci” I composed for trumpet, for cello, oud and voice, but always with the sound of the guitar like the principal instrument. “Silenci” reflects a mood, a declaration of intentions, in this convulsed times. The first notes the work, a Oud solo ( Origen,played by the Oud Player Yannis Papaioannou), it’s a metaphorical way to say that the music is a spiritual thing, and you have to sit down, cease your minds, and only listen to. i think you will need to listen this work during a Sunday evening, in the dawn,during a raining day or just when the house is almost in silence. Like the last word in the David Linch’s film Muholland drive:..”silence”…. My intention is summarized in the words written on the back cover (translation from the catalan language):The silence is the origin
The absence of sounds
The silence is the utopia
listen the silence, not the noise.EL SILENCI ÉS L’ORIGEN
L’ABSÈNCIA DE SONS
EL SILENCI ÉS LA UTOPIA
QUE EL SOROLL NO ENS
IMPEDEIXI ESCOLTAR EL SILENCI

■ Leedin
Coming from Toon, a small Japanese town which belongs to the Ehime province, Hitoshi Asaumi delivers very unexpected sounds when compared to contemporary beat culture. Leedian disguise has been around for two years now and listening through his work one can find it difficult to categorize his music. From extreme noise, he switches fast to melodic pop backed by organic beat, then quickly back to the extreme noise .
There is an inevitable innocence deriving from his tracks, mainly with regards to their length. His music feels like an “arranged marriage” of the punk approach to composition with experimental electronic sounds. The result is rewarding and raw sounding. Jazz and electronic influences melting together in a chaotic doom-sounding noise.

Claudio Nunez – December last poems

[AT032]

Claudio Nunez

“December last poems”

“…the music loosely evokes the feeling of some of my favorite jazz piano trios (the udu replacing a regular drum set): Paul Bley, Bill Evans, Keith Jarrett… a little more toward free improvisation since there are not tunes or structures previous to the playing itself…”

Nature – Forget The Theory

[AT031]

Nature

“Forget The Theory”

“Forget The Theory” features two arrangements and five original pieces written by Kevin Higgins for his group Nature – a quartet with voice, electric guitar, electric bass and drums. The material was honed in a dozen live performances, then recorded over two days in spring 2012. The result is an album of dark grooves, mixing techno, funk and dubstep with contemporary jazz.

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.

Nature is:

Georgia Cusack – voice
Chris Guilfoyle – electric guitar
Kevin Higgins – bass guitar
Tommy Gray – drums

All compositions by Kevin Higgins except “Hard Time Killing Floor Blues” by Skip James and “I Remember You” by Victor Schertzinger and Johnny Mercer. Lyrics in “Mic Check” by Kevin Higgins. Lyrics in “In The Techno Tent” and “Extraordinary Vibe” by Georgia Cusack.

Recorded by Michael Buckley. Mixed by Shane Glynn and Kevin Higgins. Mastered by Scott Halliday.

tomás gris – arche

[pyr064]

tomás gris

“arche”

the olatunji duo (txema fernandes and tomás gris) began playing together in 2000. their first recordings were improvisations for alto sax and drum. they have continued to play together when they can. this recording was made in asturias where txema lives with his family. as a duo they are interested in ritual and improvisation which provide the basis for a dialogue between the musicians and their environment.

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.

David Scott – The Unjazz

[016]

David Scott

“The Unjazz”

“When I started writing the music for The Unjazz, I was attempting to create a jam session between technically advanced jazz musicians that could only exist in the hyper-realistic realms of sequencers and digital audio synthesis. After the first song was finished, I realized that it was too clean. So, I went back into the track and carefully created small misalignments in timing and rhythm to add the human factor into the music. As a result, the parts jump, move, and slide around as if performed by professional musicians.”

Proyect? Moone Jazzers

“Jazzing To The Cat-like Moon”

Proyect? Moone Jazzers, a mysterious musician from Western Europe, returns and this time presents ethereal, soothing melodies. Jazzy melodies are underpinned by a homemade, diy atmosphere, resounding on the background of a car alarm or dogs barking out on the street – which adds an intimate, mysterious dimension to the whole.

Clarabella Olssen – Rosalong

[WOND001]

Clarabella Olssen

“Rosalong”

We are very happy to present you Wondermachine 001. The title of the opening EP is “Rosalong” by Clarabella Olssen, it includes a remix by Storlon.

Clarabella Olssen is the alias of Andres Marcos Revellado used for spontaneous musical structures based on improvisation, live and field recordings. The music produced under this moniker is focused on trial concepts and impulsive arrangements. Andres Marcos never liked rules, Clarabella Olssen is the perfect alibi to share his vision.

Andres Marcos and Storlon have been collaborating on several projects already so they know each other very well and have a very compatible taste in music. Storlon has developed an unique and recognizable style, his interpretation of Rosalong is an illustration of his approach.

Let’s air the dirty laundry in public!

01 – Rosalong
02 – Atlantic
03 – Regulations
04 – Confluence

Sergi Boal – Nylon & Turtle

[027]

Sergi Boal

“Nylon & Turtle”

“My ear were literally staggered as soon as the first notes of this disk” La Grosse Radio Rock

“An album you can taste listening after listening” NetMusic Life

“An interesting and pleasing album” iThink magazine

Nylon and Turtle was recorded after that, while he was watching jazz pianist Brad Mehldau, Sergi boal, guitarist and composer, had a revelation: the necessity to create his own music. This necessity led him few months later to record this CD. There are 9 songs, most of them recorded in one or two takes, so it’s almost a live recording. It is an organic and intimate album, in which the guitarist tries to make a little travel. As in Ice Voice, where it can be appreciated the Nordic influences of Jose Gonzalez, or Yorke, where we can hear echoes of Radiohead. Fukushima is a tribute to the victims of the tsunami in Japan, in where it mixes anger and calm; The incident of the Bell features great tecnique and sounds with a mixture of pop and grunge music, all with the same nylon guitar. In Frontera, the flamenco sounds in his fingers, and take us to Orecchio di Dioniso, and then we get carried away through the last song of the album, “Is anybody out there?”, a composition that borrows the title from Pink Floyd, ending with a question. This album is the starting point of this guitarrist of Barcelona, who decided one day to make his own music with the guitar. Sit back and listen … is anybody out there?

(this album is a joint release with the No-source netlabel)
