LEEP #046 [d’incise - c’est juste les murs qui changent]

Friday, August 31st, 2007

“C’est juste les murs qui changent (’its just the walls which change’) is an allusion to Jim Jarmuch film Permanent Vacation, with this feeling of drift, this detached glance which graze abstract.

Behind the series of tracks which make the album, there is a will to create an introverted and detailed music, carved in the almost nothing, (micro) daily mirror, a music for the inner ear where equilibrium is to be reinvented.

Between evocations of melodies and rhytmic prances, an holded electronica scrapes with the nail end dirt and memory and slack acoustic sources and numerical languages .”

COD #013b [ocp - interludes part two]

Friday, August 31st, 2007

João Ricardo produces music under the name OCP (Operador de Cabine Polivalente). After several releases at the MiMi netlabel, recently his album length work Sound Check has been published at the well-known TestTube netlabel, and now he is here at Complementary Distribution with a release in two parts entitled Interludes.

Many people praise and enjoy OCP’s unreleased open source audio works at archive.org: Interludes originally was one of those open source materials. In terms of genres OCP creates minimal and glitchy dubambient in a healthy, unconventional and creative way. This first part has an equal and powerful atmosphere. The listener can meet up wet grooves, long and flowing harmonic synthpads accompanied by so called glitchy sounds which are exciting but never disturbing. The release ends with one gentle remix done by Hungarian minimal 4p4 artist Ferenc Vaspoeri (ChiWare, Cod – HU, Standard Music – FR).”

Tube #078 [quest.room.project - room number - fiducial banality]

Wednesday, August 29th, 2007

“A gentle flute motive introduces us to the world of Quest.Room.Project from Russia, and one might at first expect a relaxed listening experience. But by the time more voices chime in, it becomes obvious that these spotlights are going to be swallowed by shadows of tragic compassion. ‘Room Number: Fiducial Banality’ is organised in 4 parts (one could as well define them as movements, because there are some key themes occuring throughout the entire release) and each of them features a room with distinct acoustic characteristics:

‘The reason for surfacing’ appears like a shadow of a doubt that gradually turns into overwhelming certainty. Almost inaudible at the beginning, ‘Assemblage’ soon escalates to several emotional outbursts, before exhaustion will take its tribute in ‘Possesion’ and create a haunted, threatening atmosphere. As reminiscence of the beginning, ‘Combined Exercises’ begins with a flute solo and continues to pick up previous motives to escalate them to a wall of sound. Finally the dissonances wither away and make room for the last remnants of the ever occuring flute theme. A cycle has been completed and we are at the beginning again…

Bogdan Dullsky, the creative head behind the Quest.Room.Project, describes his intentions on the project’s website as ‘a search of space for the life leaving for borders of habitual linearity.’ But ‘Room Number: Fiducial Banality’ doesn’t attempt to descibe a solution to break free: It’s left up to the listeners themselves to recognise their personal ever returning patterns of life and change them by their own strategy. Or - as Bogdan concludes - as an attempt to live by some own rules on which borders it is possible to breathe freely”

PS #021 [door - planetarium sky EP]

Wednesday, August 29th, 2007

“Student of the surreal, Door, has ventured for the first time into Piston Source domain with the release of his/her Planetarium Sky EP. A collage of both the simplistic and complicated, rough and smooth, a picture is painted in your mind of staring up in awe into the summer night sky wondering if you are really looking into the vastness of the unknown, or simply staring a wall closer than you think made up to look like the far reaches of space. These 5 songs won do anything to convince you either way, but they will help you relax…”

[As usual with Piston Source releases, they are open source format designed for the free player/editor (available on the CUTS page) PxTone by Pixel of Cave Story fame. Enjoy.]
