Darkwave music posits that your ambient background could be a bit gloomy and your dance music could be a bit funereal. Here is a solid example ripe with possibility as the best psychological thriller. Caul is among the most ethereal and sublime of this genre. See yourself sleeping on the black and gray beach of an ocean full of a viscous, glistening, dark-blue liquid. Storms act on the horizon in the cinematic metaphor of this audio vision. Extremely downbeat and minimalist, this is noise rock reduced and removed to a far location.

This karaoke was recorded somewhere on the Baltic sea on a night ferry going from Stockholm (Sweden) to Turku (Finland) in May 2008.

The DJ was a fat tattooed balding rocker, the public was getting drunk on duty free alcohol an the tv was on the sports channel. Gangs of aging ladies all dressed up for the night out were roaming back and forth competing only with the students wearing their graduation cap and preparing for the early disco... Meanwhile one could enjoy finish tangos, drunker's classics and melancolic ballads sung by the best...


“In the evening you can enjoy live entertainment and a delicious dinner. On board there's always something for everyone”




Second 'studio' album from Berlin-based Adam Thomas. 30 minutes of understated melodic drones, cassette symphonies and analogue disintegration taken 'live' from over 100 salvaged and reconstructed tapes found, bought & borrowed over a two year period.
100 Cdrs with commissioned artwork and inserts.

***************

Formed in May 2006, Preslav Literary School is the project of Adam Thomas, a writer and musician based in Berlin. Previous albums released on Glosses Fur Die Masses and Clinical Archives (first 'studio' album Autumn Bricolage had over 7500 downloads from archive.org).

**************

Artist Notes:
“Beautiful Was The Time is the result of two years of listening. The sounds are almost exclusively taken from 100 cassettes and microcassettes found, borrowed or bought in that period, with each having had their own journey before coming into my possession. Recording onto a C90 is both an act of erasure and creation. Every centimeter and second of magnetic tape holds a narrative, but stories only truly live in the associations formed through giving, finding and listening.

Early in 2009, in a Berlin apartment, I began playing back the cassettes. Over one week, sets of coincidences emerged from the tapes' contents that identified themselves as structures previously hidden. Using simple equalization I began to uncover more ghosts, sounds from old recordings by others and patterns within the tape hiss. Using a four-track tape recorder, a microphone and a Casio PT-80 (owned since I was three years old), I began to enter my own sounds directly onto the tapes, into the mechanism of retrieval. Before long I could not remember which were my sounds and which belonged to the original tapes. Organising memories of the tapes using diagrams on paper, adding occasional radio overheard broadcasts, I recorded these findings as a composition directly onto the computer with minimal editing.

The resulting album is an archive of sounds that should have been lost. It is also a homage to my surprisingly effective ability to forget. While I can be held responsible for certain duties of arrangement, no blame or credit can be attributed to me for the sounds within. Those that I did not make will hopefully be reclaimed by their creators, just as an author might notice an idea he once had in the sentence of another. Those sounds that I did create, I have long given up hope of remembering.”


First “studio” album from the French duo. Field recording based compositions from concrete to abstract, often narrative never illustrative. A warm and playful album with the real ability to transport the listener to imaginary places ...
100 Cdrs with color artwork and inserts.

**************

Biog:
Since 2008, Hotel Gromada is the sound project of Nicolas Perret and Cédric Anglaret. Using reality as a raw material, Hotel Gromada always oscillates between the extremely concrete and the abstract creating imaginary places through a non-pictorial narration, getting close to what could be a cinema of sensations where images are made up by the public's own imagination. Far from an objective point of view their way of working -traveling, meeting people, getting involved in local life...- implicates from the beginning the presence of the recorders and hence the subjectivity of the recordings.
In between concert and live installations each presentation is a live set especially prepared to fit the space and context: very soft and quiet sounds for a headphone festival (Paris, Bruxelles 2007-2008), abstract and loud for noisy places (Finland, Berlin, 2008) or precise and wide sounds for an ancient church (Galeria El, Elblag, 2008).

**************

Artist Notes:
“The three main tracks of Amazonian Rovers, each with a totally different atmosphere, were composed separately during the winter 2008/2009. In the idea of a live set for a Spanish tour, they were put together and transitions which soon became new tracks were added in order to create a 35 minutes piece. The piece was then cut into tracks back again and arranged for this cd version.
All the sounds used were recorded by ourselves in the ten past years in various places around the world including: France, Poland, Russia, Peru, Portugal, Finland, Spain, Romania, Bulgaria, etc... recording devices ranging from DAT to mobile phone.

For us, the act of composing begins with listening. Improvising a lot, we are first of all active auditors of our own recordings looking for their texture, timbre, melodic or rhythmic quality, details or imperfections.
When a structure is found, we then refine each layer for what it brings to the overall composition and, through mixing we sculpt atmospheres that we like to be serious and playful at the same time, strange and sometime uneasy but also sweet and warm; imaginary places we hope to transport the listener to.”




This recording was made on a very sunny spring afternoon strolling around place de l'Albertine in Brussel during the Fête de l'Iris, the city's days. For this occasion various sound sculptures by Etienne Favre were installed on the square to be manipulated by the passerbys... Under the amused and a bit jealous eyes of their parents, children were playing focused on their music without paying attention to the activity around, chips and Ricard vendors as well as the DJ checking the sound for the night show. Sweet as the wine...
30 Cdrs with lino block printed artwork and inserts.




Second album of Cawa Sorix, Pipistrello is a mix of various compositions recorded over the past few years. Working with tapes he writes his poetry with his dictaphones mixing found footage, music and his own voice in a playful collage cut up. Sometimes violent or epileptic, sometimes sweet and touching but always humorous such is the bizarre universe of Cawa Sorix.
50 mini Cdrs with original handmade artwork (3 drawings/cd) and inserts.

*************

Biog:
Cawa-Sorix is the sound project of Grenoble (fr) based poet, drawer and artist Tito Gascuel. Since 1995 he sometimes works as an illustrator, has released several books and images -recently for the Orbis Pictus Club, but also fanzines, tracts, collages, mail-art, micro-edition and cut-up comics. He has also composed writings and soundtracks for theater, radio pieces, movies, and showed cheap videos and exhibitions in such places as squats like "Le Brise Glace" or "La Generale" (Grenoble, Paris, etc.). His first album Fledermaus was released in 2004 by french label universinternational.

*************

Artist Notes:
“C’est le moyen pauvre qui m’a donné l’idée. Tape-to-tape = vampire business. One night, Bruce Wayne saw a living bat, as an omen : « I shall become a bat ! », he said (1939). C’est la superstition qui fait les noms d’artistes, as the college’s names : Aragon, Prévert, Pablo Neruda. Nothing to do with that stuff, my loving technique ISN'T about FAME. Just need some good sounds, voice, a floor, a machine. Sometimes i stop, but mostly i don’t. J’ai seulement besoin d’appuyer sur les touches du lecteur, un besoin inutile : unusefull is my lovable technique. Originally, my audio-tape player was defective; so, i obtained double tracks, and often overdubbed them. A rub’a’dub style is born. Not my voice, not my music, mais something like le kung-fu. Ou pire. Meanwhile, i met some clever people that loved that. This is writed, this is done.“

Asher - Landscapes Elsewhere (CONV, 2006)

1 Where The Blue Appears Not Quite Blue (20:08)
2 There's No Color Besides A Blue (6:29)
3 The Traveller Pierced By Arrows (6:09)
4 Last Rays Of A Painted Sun (20:09)

landscapes elsewhere is Asher Thal-Nir’s third release on netlabel Conv coming after “graceful degradation” (cd-r) and “invariably the blue” (mp3). It’s also the follow-up to “Directions” (cd-r) released by Leerraum. A noticeable difference in this newest album when compared to the aforementioned is the inclusion of more harmonious and organic elements. But Asher’s music is more than just about sounds - it’s also about images, perception, and emotion.

Having listened to landscapes elsewhere two things come to mind. The first is the soft chroma of a favorite color - grayish-blue - a diffused and pleasant hue, that I find very soothing. The second is the most enjoyable season to me - Indian Summer (actually an atypically stretch of temperate and sunny weather occurring in late Autumn in the Northern Hemisphere) - with its comforting warmth and subdued, hazy sunlight. Asher has said that he is reluctant to talk about his music and a little reflection on my part reveals why. The music that he composes is more than just about him and the sounds and the minutiae of their creation. More importantly, it’s about the listener and about how the sounds are interpreted and what affect they have on the listener.

On the surface level I can easily describe the music because all listeners will hear similar sounds although we might use different words to describe them e.g. soft, harmonious gently resonating above a layer of the light static pop-and-crackle of an old vinyl record coupled with field recordings of watery noises, birds, and other organic sounds and even traces of a subtle, but noticeable, high frequency droning whine. The album consists of four compositions: “where the blue appears not quite blue” (1) and “last rays of a painted sun” (4) both exceed 20 minutes in duration while “there’s no color besides a blue” and “the traveller pierced by arrows“ (2 and 3) are considerably shorter each being near 6 minutes in length. As is with much of Asher’s work, there is an unmistakable homogeneity between the compositions which gives the album a very coordinated ambiance, but concentrated listening reveals enough divergence between the compositions so that each stands on its own.

landscapes elsewhere has the quality of being variable relative to the listener‘s present state of mind. As I write this review, the weather is unusually pleasant here in the Midwestern United States for this time of year and life is good right now. The sounds as I perceive them from listening to these compositions in this existing moment are relaxing and emotionally reassuring. Were the weather more unfriendly or life more difficult, my experience of the music might be considerably different. How we perceive the music is partly colored by the present moment.

If you’ve enjoyed Asher’s other works, then landscapes elsewhere will not disappoint you. If you’ve found his previous work to be too minimal and abstract for your tastes, then you will be pleasantly surprised with the inclusion of more harmonious sounds and field recordings which make for an overall more organic release.

1-4 Insect Strategies (12:19)

The rich lowland diptercarp forests are rapidly giving way to Oil Palm Plantations, but there are still some pristine forest areas where ancient primary forest trees can be seen, their massive trunks rising straight up for over a hundred feet.
Out of the steamy lowlands, the massive bulk of Mt.Kinabalu rises to a height of 14,000 ft, providing a refuge for many endemic species that prefer a cooler climate.
Here, northern hemisphere trees like evergreen Oaks and Chestnuts mingle with southern hemisphere conifers like Podocarpus Agathis and Dacrycarpus.

These montane forests provide shelter for a variety of tree ferns, rattan palms and climbing Lycopodiums, Higher still is a cloud-forest of twisted Leptospermum and Dacrydium trees, whose nearest relatives are found in Australia and New Zealand.
The highest slopes of the mountain are mostly bare rock, scoured clean by the glaciers found here until just 3000 years ago.

The Rafflesia are a strange genus of parasitic plants, famous for producing the largest flowers in the world. They are root parasites, completely invisible above ground until one of their enormous flower buds breaks the surface.
Their life cycle is poorly understood and ther seem to require a certain amount of disturbance. Since a nature reserve was declared to protect their most well known locaton at Poring, they have ceased to flower within its boundaries!
We were able to find one flowering on a farm nearby, and the owner was kind enough to let me attach electrodes to one of the flowers.
The flowers smell of rotting meat, and attract numerous files.

Tongkat Ali (Eurycoma longifolia) is an indigenous tree of Borneo, whose powdered bark enjoys a reputation as the local equivalent of Viagra!
It is also mixed with ginseng and coffee to make a very refreshing hot drink.
I was pleased to find a tree that had been included in the planting scheme of a gold course popular with local businessmen.

The genus Nepenthes is notorious for containing the world's largest carnivorous plants. Some of them have pitchers large enough to drown a squirrel, and they can climb high into trees in search of prey.
Finding a specimen to record involved climbing My. Kinabalu, and I soon found that my portable recording equipment began to seem much heavier than it did at sea level!

Finally, I was able to record specimen of Nepenthes x kinabaluensis growing in ultramafic scrub not far from the summit trail, as other exhausted climbers trudged past to use the facility at a small rest stop.

All Living organism produce a faint electrical field, which constantly fluctuates according to the state of the organism.
In Plants, these fluctuating voltage potentials can be seen to reflect a number of natural cycles, as well as transient events like water stress, attacks by predators etc.
The bioelectrical field varies not only with periods of light and dark, but also with cycles of the moon, magnetic storms and sunspots.
By connecting plants to a bioactivity translator, we can listen in to their life processes, and even hear them reacting to transient events.
Plants are able to react instantly to charges in their environment.
Do we consider this to be a form of consciousness?

The bioelectrical sounds I recorded in the field are used mostly in manipulated and intermodulated form in the compositions here, but always retaining their natural rhythms.
In the field, choices have to be made about the parameters the translator is set to, which will affect frequency range and other aspects of the sound.
Nevertheless, the rhythms which emerge are very much a reflection of the life processes of the plant.
A dead plant, or a fruit or vegetable which has been picked, produce only a static tone.

Two Ultrasonic transducers with heterodyne frequency conversion were used to record the ultrasonic sounds of bats and insects.
These recordings have not been manipulated, edited or latered, the listener can follow the movements of the bats in real time as thery locate insects and zoom in, speeding up their echolocation sounds to obtain better resolution in the ''sound picture'' they are receivin of their prey.

Unless mentioned otherwise, all acoustic recording were made on the move, using a pair of binaural microphone, as well as making bioelectrical recordings of plants, and ultrasonic recordings of bats and insects, I also set up small installations, ''stalking'' with the binaural microphones.

''Banana Rattan'' contains a live recording of an installation that featured the amplified bioelectrical signals of a Rattan Palm, and an as yet undescribed species of Banana, recorded beside a mountain stream.

The installation featured on ''Hungry Ghosts'' used voices from a local shortwave station, undergoing live processing on a laptop. I trecked into the coastal forest just before midnight to record this, and on the way there, suddenly found my feet sinking rapidly into a clammy ooze. The rising tide had turned what had been a dry creekbed into quicksand.
I Managed to sit back onto dry land, and then rashly dipped my foot into the quicksand to retrieve the sandal. Though only a couple of seconds had passed, there was no trace of it, as if it had been pulled down by unseen hands. I took off the other sandal, and proceeded on bare feet.

"a discreet history of bone" is taken from a live show this past april. the players include gabe wingfield (who runs the maritime fist imprint) and r. loftiss (of the magical gray field recordings) and the music is heavy on the jams but easy on the ears. the electric wreckage here is nothing short of beautiful. and tribal flow mixes with free-flowing psychedelia to offer up something sensational and new. but the ragas? they've simply gone home.

Stefan Roigk - Up.Rising (Tochnit Aleph, 2008)

A1 Walkman (6:11)
A2 Bilder Meiner Ausstellung (11:31)

This is a review about something that is no longer available in this form. Stefan Roigk 's single sided LP was also available in a limited edition of 20 copies with a bonus CDR. Roigk is a visual artist, who released in 2006 a catalogue of his work of sculptures along with a CD, which is also part of the edition of 20 copies. In his sculptures textiles play an important role, but also sound elements. On 'Up.Rising' you will find a pure sound installation, if I understood it well. Other things that were not easy to understand was the sound origins of this record. I believe it is based upon sounds from the building in which the exhibition took place. There is a lengthy description on the insert, dealing with space and air. But that is not easy to understand, nor does the music give that many clues. The music is collated together from various sound sources, a bit like Schimpfluch or Dave Philips would do. Short, loud sounds interrupt the general atmosphere. Even with missing a bit of the context in which this was produced, I found it all quite fascinating. Certainly something to hear and watch (the exhibition catalogue that is) and let your own imagination run wild.

Wow! An exceptional release from Akifumi Nakajima aka Aube!

Psychedelic synthesizer trippiness in the vein of Klaus Schulze (the liner notes say "Timemind" is dedicated to him), Tangerine Dream, Terry Riley and Doctor Who! the second installment in Alchemy's incredibly awesome "Inner Mind" series of cosmic-psychedelica!

P_SH - Changed Weather Melodies (Top-40, 2009)

Reçu un mail de Vasiliy de Moscou à propos de son projet, P_SH / Received a mail from Vasiliy from Moscow about his project, P_SH....

I first explored P_SH with his EP's on Tru Type Sounds net-label - "Herret EP" was a good signal to keep an eye on this guy, and his second mini-album "Ll & Pii" was no disappointment - very enjoyable, and a great source of inspiration; shortly after, I was introduced to Vasya and he gave us a great demo called "Piece of Overloads" for top- 40.org...
Unfortunately, we never had a chance to release it - not that we didn't like it, no, it simply never happens.
Long story short - recently P_SH sent us his brand-new album, and it's terrific! He really pushes the limits of his own creativity, and goes far beyond any possible definitions for this genre.
What a fine piece of musical art to share with each one of you. And we're delighted to do so.
Flowing, soft, tender, delicate, undoubtedly refreshing gentle ambient, cozy glitch soundscapes, naive piano pieces, beautiful and sublime abstract scenes. Try it, enjoy, left aside all your worries and preconceptions...
