“This release is a very special one, because it is not only significant to the evolution and revolution of our vision here at Random Access, but also points out what special talent we have. It is autumn again and it is time to pull out the big guns. Always seaching low and high and in every corner of the globe we found a very talented producer from Cagliari, Italy that goes by the name of Jak. He got our attention when we happen to stumble accross his latest offering on French netlabel HaPpy_MekAnism entitled ‘The Walk In Moon EP.’ Our release, which is entitled Dub Elements is very inspiring, comprehensive, and totally unique to say the least and is a sort of continuation of the deep, raw, minimal dub funk we heard before and fell in love with. Jaks sound is perfect for the season as we walk out and feel that nip in the air, see the leaves changing colors, and see that first sign that winter is right around the corner as we look out the corner of our eye and spot that snow flake or two floating by. Simply put, this release is magnificent; fusing together back drop dark synth melodies with raw techno funk bass lines and percussion. Enjoy and look forward to more funk from Jak in the future on Random Access Recordings.”

“One of the first No Type releases & also, hands down, our most popular release ever with over 20,000 downloads so far! This 5-track album goes from the seriously epic space age ambient improv of Part 1 & Part 2 to the baffling Hammerhead screamadelia of Futility.

[and a personal description by Kaia: Hardcore filmscore: Epic, romantic, rough, raw. Friends let loose in a dorm room at U of Delaware, ~1997, with homemade PVC 3ft tall stringed monstre (& screaming into it), electric violin, synth, Hammerhead, and more!]”

“The spalmidon is the first sonic universe composed by electro acoustic generators capable of reproducing and evoluting. These generators constitute the elements of a population. They have the ability to move within a temporal space, to be transformed and to be merged with other generators, in order to reproduce and to finally die.

During their existence, some of them will be affected by dramatic mutations (distortions, delay) modifying their harmonic spectrum, but adding new colors to the whole spalmidon. Some others will become parasites by hijacking the sound functions of their congeners to their advantage.

All of these mechanisms allows the constitution of a new artificial life form: the spalmidon.”

“Meet the voice & performance artist Miwa Momo Hojo and her colleague, the media & sound artist Yuichi Nagao from Tokyo, Japan. The combination of their works is a tidal wave of dense, digital recordings, loaded with compact melodic structures, shifting voice patterns & fuzzy electronic noise. Some of these songs are meandering from improvised acoustic basics to richly layered compositions, some have an almost romantic quality, taking the listener from from gasping emptiness to scratchy indeterminacy. The music by Miwa Momo Hojo & Yuichi Nagao is a breathtaking update to the idea of digital songwriting.

Miwa Momo Hojo, born in 1982 studied Imagine Arts & Sciences at Musashino Art University, Japan. Her solo-works are mainly influenced by traditional japanese music and its instruments. Yuichi Nagao studied media/soundart with Christophe Charles at Tokyo Arts University and musicology with the jazz musician Naruyoshi Kikuchi. His solo-works are defined by the search for new musical structures.”

“The 4th release at Frozen Elephants features the spanish/canadian Composer & laptop Musician Pau Torres. His John Leo Crow album (FE004) includes nineteen short and yet impressive compositions based on various Max/Msp patches using skipped recordings as source material. With hardly one track longer than 60 seconds Pau Torres manages to create a dense, disturbing atmosphere, leaving the listener haunted by his imagination, trying to catch breath. There is no obvious comfort in this Music, Pau Torres cut-up compositions ask for close attention. Not unlike an abstract sculpture they present themselves defined by empty spaces, gaps or hollow forms, all wrapped up and stuffed as an unusual idea of sound.”

“Claudia is Justin Varis from Los Angeles, United States. His surprising work primarily consists of found sounds, noise, vocal clips, acoustic instruments by taking elements of mundane existence, cutting it to pieces, filtering and arranging the sounds into an almost documentary narrative. Repetive figures & clear computer tones, detailed music that glides in and out of focus, interupted folk aesthetics. Some meticulous sense of structure and planning, much note taking, color coding, charts/graphs/numbers and in addition abstraction and silence.”

“Please welcome our first solo release ‘Enoh Pollatem’ by the japanese artist Akihiko Taniguchi from Tokyo/Saitama. His astonishing artwork includes audio, live-performances, mediasculptures, flash animations/max patches, videoworks and even instrument engineering. Most of his pieces are based on on his interest in the humans perception and complex systems. Apart from those activities Akihiko Taniguchi is also a member of the music group named the Dauding Club. His FE002 release ‘Enoh Pollatem’ at frozenelephantsmusic.com features six tracks characterized by grinding digital textures, glichy edges, artful manipulation of structures & frequencies, all electronically transformed and with human touch hidden in the cracks of the sound.”

“Free electronic music on the Internet has reached a peak point of abstraction and metaphor, presenting a remarkable range of open sound archives led by Artist-identities barely visible, gigabytes of fragmentary ideas and sketches, spliced, compiled and assembled into works of strange beauty. The territory of creative potential is nearly impossible to mark, neither to define and picture considering the number of artists and concepts. The first compilation by frozenelephantsmusic.com therefore aims to simply start an ongoing presentation of compositions from this wide field, presenting individual artist personalities and their work, considering the artistic process and its manifestation.

For ‘The Map is not the Territory’ F.E.M. gathered 11 pieces by artists from the UK, France, Sweden, Ireland, Germany, USA and Japan. The collection includes minimal, computer-based aesthetics, sensitive undulations of sound, natural reverberations, organic structures and fragile sonic architecture. To hear is not to listen.”
