Bon-Psy – Cursed Life

Bon-Psy – Cursed Life
[07]

Bon-Psy

“Cursed Life”

On his latest release, Bon-Psy promotes empowerment of the mind, or at the very least, the notion that we all have the ability to control our own negative thoughts.

Cursed Life begins in a bleak state of affairs, murky pianos fill the space whilst a poignant commentary details the mental challenges people face in their adolescence. With this, Bon-Psy sets the scene, and provides insight into his own circumstances growing up.

As the track progresses, we are exposed to a variety of moods and styles. Bon-Psy navigates this gloomy world he has manifested, exploring its depths and finding glimmers of hope intertwined with jazz infused Electronica.

The closing stages of Cursed Life suggest a newfound sense of power. The once disheartening commentary now appears imbued with a fighting spirit, suggesting to the listener that they have the power within themselves to control and appease the mental anguish that plagues them.

“Many times in my life I have felt cursed. On my worst days, the mental anguish of just being a human, and the trials and tribulations associated with it feel like too much of a burden to bear. At some point in our lives we are all destined for a degree of extreme hardship, sadness, depression, anxiety, death or despair, and it can appear at times that as humans we really are cursed in that sense. We find ourselves lost in these states, and digging ourselves out of that hole is a task too big and monstrous to even begin contemplating. But Whilst the world can be daunting and cold beyond measure, you as an individual have the facilities and resources to make your life better. You can get yourself out of those states if you do everything within your power to do so. Take control, move towards a better existence, as there’s something to be said, to know that you’re the sort of creature that can look mortality and catastrophe straight in the eye, and nonetheless, stand up.”

A Symbiotic Experience – Open Source

A Symbiotic Experience – Open Source
[LCNLP134]

A Symbiotic Experience

“Open Source”

The Necrophile Hummingbird Netlabel & HAMFUGGI Records present Open Source by A Symbiotic Experience.
The first part of a trilogie with Oneiric Sound and Original Subversion.
“Free Music for Open People”.

About the depths of this album :
Do you remember ?
The first time you did a step outside the mainstream, the revelation when you discovered that without any wave your own breath propels you wherever you want it.
There are many kind of demonstrative musics, showing technical skills, epic apex, feelings tearing up you eyes, whatever…
Open Source music, a kind of Inconclusive music, open up space for differents forms of life.
Our music is for me a sincere example of what Hamfuggi Records curation made possible to come alive online to keep awake your ears.
Only essential music trying to do not stay stuck in any common paths, not even our own way. Not for seeking this for itself but by love of freedom.
It is the pathfinders harvest that we deliver.
Do you wanna keep your ears free from the strayjacket’s habits ?

About the surface of the album :
A Symbiotic Experience more than a concept is obviously an experience. I mean it’s no just a name, it’s how we really operate.
More than any sound brilliance, it is the mind singularity that should take you by the hand for this journey.
Perhaps our first albums were more dream projection or capture,
but the further we go the closer it seems to
merely be… the dream.

The fourth album is here Gesamtkunstwerk

The Third Near Death Experience is here

The second Rebirth is here archive.org/details/Rebirth_A_Symbiotic_Experience

The first Renaskigo is here hamfuggirecords.bandcamp.com/album/renaskigo

Also there is a prequel to A Symbiotic Experience : Dawn of the Damned.

A Symbiotic Experience is a project created for HAMFUGGI Records, but we really love Non Exclusive Concept so we chose to do a double release. More informations here hamfugi.wixsite.com/hamfuggirecords/a-symbiotic-experience

Recorded between Buenos Aires (Argentina) and Foucherans (France)
Dedicated to everyone who keep the fire of hope within and share it freely with the world

Boyan & Bon-Psy – Legacy (Bon-Psy Remix)

Boyan & Bon-Psy – Legacy (Bon-Psy Remix)
[SFX030821]

Boyan & Bon-Psy

“Legacy (Bon-Psy Remix)”

Melancholy and dance-friendly are moods that are uncommonly found in the same track, although that is exactly what UK producer Bon-Psy offers us on his interpolation of “Legacy (To Georgi)” – originally by Bulgarian piano whiz Boyan.

The two producers Boyan and Bon-Psy are not only worlds apart when it comes to location, they traverse different realms of genre too as Boyan leans towards soul and jazz-infused chillhop, while Bon-Psy pleasures audiences with forward-thinking electronica.

Through Stereofox Records a connection was established and the result… Bon-Psy transforms the serene and stripped-down composition “Legacy (to Georgi)” by Boyan into an electrifying remix by fleshing it out with glossy electronic textures, while keeping the melancholy of the original. Its Bon-Psy’s garden-fresh sound and his ability to take risks with his music that’s frequently garnered attention, and his “Legacy” (Remix) is yet another example of him pushing the boundaries of his genre.

David Gotham, Bon-Psy

“Enter, The Holy Divine (Part I) (Bon-Psy Remix)”

Bon-Psy provides a contrasting take on David Gothams Enter, The Holy Divine (Part I) in spectacular fashion.

The dark but moving original is transformed into the grooviest version of itself as Bon-Psy works his jazz influences into an intoxicating remix.

Though short, it is still every bit as sweet with Bon-Psy making use of walking bass lines & cello riffs to compliment his soothing blend of experimental beats.

Coletivo NSLO – Rosa dos Ventos

Coletivo NSLO

“Rosa dos Ventos”

CD only bonus tracks:
B1. Por que o pôr do sol fica rosa às vezes (6:01)
B2. Futuro (7:55)

Remixes:
R1. Coletivo NSLO and Trixie Delight – CharlaTrix (remix) (4:11)
R2. Coletivo NSLO and Lone Cosmonaut – Novos Sururus E Quiprocós De Um Convescote Chumbrega [Enhancement] (9:33)

Rosa dos Ventos presents instrumental compositions by Heitor Oliveira, performed by Dario Rodrigues Silva (piano), Gina Arantxa Arbeláez (flute), Renan Simões and Sabrina Souza (guitars). With significant independent artistic and academic trajectories, the musicians join forces for a collaborative endeavour that result in a series of phonographic releases, of which Rosa dos Ventos is the third.

The album Rosa dos Ventos presents three more pieces from the authorial repertoire of Coletivo N.S.L.O, closing the cycle of phonographic releases related to the founding project of the group. In the pieces of this album, the musical materials are cells that at times support games of guided improvisation, at other times they are presented with ostinatos and rhythmic lag procedures. In the duos El viejo de bien, for flautist and guitarist, and The meme loop, for pianist and guitarist, references to memories shared by the performers frame energetic instrumental performances. The track Rosa dos Ventos is a quartet that refers to the very experience of the group’s creative process in its multiple movements, directions, alternating roles and encounters.

The original tracks (guitars, drums, voice of Štěpán Pečírka, cyclophone, Romo T57 and steel spring) were recorded live during rehearsals (1-5) and concert (6, 7) of Noční pták in Albeř, August 2019. Instruments marked * and Radka Fiedlerová’s voice were added in 2021.
nocniptak.cz (in Czech and English)

Noční pták (Nightbird) was formed ten years ago as a project of Luboš Fidler and Zdeněk Konopásek. Luboš Fidler is one of the most important and uncompromising performers of the Czech alternative scene. As a bass/acoustic guitar player, he was founding member of alternative rock groups of 1970s and 80s, such as Stehlík or Švehlík, he played with MCH Band, Kilhets etc. In early 1980s he was involved in the minimalist-experimental trio Janota-Fidler-Richter (together with Oldřich Janota and Pavel Richter). Zdeněk Konopásek was drummer of the early and late 1980s band Dvouletá fáma. He also played, e.g., in the Dr. Konopný Quartet (together with Joe Karafiát, Jan Štolba and Radomil Uhlíř) and also collaborated with Oldřich Janota. Currently he is involved in theatrical-musical performances of Divadlo Vizita and, as a second drummer, in the band Fish, Flesh, Field & Henry $. Occasionally, he plays solo on his drum set. The two are joined, in recent years, by a “permanent guest” Štěpán Pečírka (Vyšší popular, Kolotoč theater, Richter band).

The album “I am healthy and things are going well” is based on live recordings from rehearsals and home concert that took place in summer 2019. These recordings were revisited and reworked into original compositions by Luboš Fidler in early 2021.
Fidler explains the title of the album as follows: The phrase “I am healthy and things are going well” (or: I am healthy and fine) was pre-printed in all languages of Austrian-Hungarian monarchy on postcards sent by soldiers from the trenches of the First World War. This album can be understood as a flare fired from the trenches in which we have been for more than a year in 2020-21.

Bon-Psy

“Elation”

Continuing a successful string of releases, Bon-Psy once again offers a new piece synonymous with his innovative style.

Enlisting elements of traditional Electronic music but combining them with an experimental aesthetic, ‘Elation’ presents a dynamic release bursting with infectious yet eloquent vocals which highlight the producer’s exceptional ability to create forward thinking music.

This new release captures a sense of euphoria and passion that is often lost in today’s Electronic music landscape, reminding producers and listeners alike what is capable with only a laptop and an intense fascination of sound.

Closing off the production, Bon-Psy experiments with his interpretation of a Jazz/Electronic hybrid invoking images of an artist joyous and at play with his craft.

Lavoura – Deep Safe / Aleyda

Lavoura – Deep Safe / Aleyda
[foot286]

Lavoura

“Deep Safe / Aleyda”

we received 2 tracks from Lavoura, and decided to release them as a “double-sided” EP.

Deep Safe

Deep Safe is the new Lavoura collective’s track, produced during the Covid-19 pandemic. It is the first single to be released in a series that is being produced by its members remotely, each from their home studio. Based on influences of electronic music, Deep Safe dialogues with deep house – subgenre of house music – and with french touch. It brings a more dancing and hypnotic footprint, without losing the jazzy, psychedelic and futuristic essence. The production process was initiated by Fernando TRZ, on the pianos, who composed a backing track, following the recording of the overdubs, one by one, recording from their homes, first Marcelo Monteiro on saxophones, then Thiago Duar on guitars, Caleb Mascarenhas a.k.a. Zydron on synthesizers, Paulo Pires on drum machines and beats, and, finally, Junião on percussion and effects.

Aleyda

After Deep Safe, Aleyda is the new single from the collective Lavoura. The two tracks are marked by bringing together electronic music and jazz, a characteristic of the group. The sonority achieved is formed by multiple layers, at the same time that it is structured as a flow. Based on influences of spiritual jazz, electronic music, broken beat and downtempo, Aleyda is inspired by Wayne Shorter, Alice Coltrane, Sun Ra, Cinematique Orchestra, Jazzanova, 4Hero, Bugz in the Attic, Kaidi Tatham, IG Culture, Mark De Clive Lowe, Quantic. The production process was started by Thiago Duar, on bass and guitar, who composed a guide, in the preceding sequence the recording of the overdubs, one by one, recording from their homes, first Fernando TRZ, on the pianos; Marcelo Monteiro on saxophones and flute, after Caleb Mascarenhas also known as Zydron on synthesizers, Paulo Pires on electronic drums / beats, and, finally, Junião on percussion and effects. “Aleyda came from a root to contemplate time. The moments in the middle of the pandemic chaos, finding an inner peace was necessary. Aleyda was born from this inner search”, says Duar. As well as a river of multiple affluents, jazz, electronic music and Brazilian music are expressions of diversity and freedom. They are technological tools for solutions and struggle.

“Ikigai”

British producer Bon-Psy is back again with another grandiose production off the back of ‘Onyx’.

‘Ikigai’ (the Japanese concept related to finding one’s purpose), is a leap into uncharted territory in the Experimental Electronic scene, and once again an artist defining piece nailing down the staples of the Bon-Psy sound.

A sprawling exploration of the depths of Electronica, ‘Ikigai’ is mosaic in nature, presenting a driving groove, majestic vocal lines and goose bump inducing progressions that are nothing short of a spectacle.

With this new single, the young artist takes strides into discovering his capabilities as a musician, but also, identifying his purpose as a human being.

[SR226]

Ghobi

“Stele / Wollstonecraft”

Ghobi are : Lele: guitars , effects, French horn
Giro: bass, effects
Palla: drums, percussions
Mastered by: Simone Giorgi

The “Wollstonecraft / Stele” project is a split within Ghobi itself, originating from works on improvisational and transversal material, where horn color most of the tracks creating atmospheres which can be dark and then turn into airier stanzas. The project is the result of transversal listenings that inevitably had a significant impact on the sounds and structures of the tracks. The recording is rather lo-fi by choice, bringing out the specific and living atmospheres of the parts which recorded live, and this would have otherwise meant losing its true nature. The project is divided ideologically into two parts: Wollstonecraft (more airy) and Stele (darker). We can’t forget to mention the vocal contribution on some occasions (on the tracks Julian date, Volgo, Eleven Days…) by Anna with whom we have active a collaborative project/ensemble named Wollstonecraft Air
