CA #009 [himmelkommando - arctic linqua]

Posted in Abstract, Ambient, Dub, Experimental, Field Recording, Noise by bleepwatcher

“The most clear in language happens not a word, and tone, an accent, rate with which a number of words is said, — to tell more shortly, the music disappearing under words, the passion disappearing behind music, the person disappearing behind passion, that is all that cannot be written.” (F.N.)

AC #024 [qb - abstract works]

Posted in Abstract by bleepwatcher

“Contemporary glass blowing can be your failure to think of yourself or simply your inability to doubt what you hear.

The present recording is more like your underlying motivation. This work, at once tasty and conscious, invites us to the experience the classic paradoxical anti-realism, represented here as a 8 tracks recording.

You know, abstract works, the new LP from the hand of QB.”

birdsong #018 [dudu geva - tumba zombie + streets of tomorrow]

Posted in Abstract, Alternative by bleepwatcher

“This collective of lunatics (named after the great Israeli cartoonist) comes to us all the way from the land of baguettes and cheap red wine. This short two track album spans no more than 3 minutes. The music is a combination of psychedelic mayhem, progressive chord structures and cats in heat being tortured. This is just an introduction to this great band, so be sure to check out more of them. “

FE #005 [miwa momo hojo & yuichi nagao - kiechimae]

Posted in Abstract, Improvisation, Noise by bleepwatcher

“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.”

FE #004 [pau torres - the john leo crow album]

Posted in Abstract by bleepwatcher

“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.”

FE #003 [claudia - you can do it]

Posted in Abstract, Noise by bleepwatcher

“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.”

EXC #003 [Joe Colley, Jessica Rylan and Kevin Drumm — Pure]

Posted in Abstract, Compilation, Experimental, Noise by sergi

excentrica003.jpg““Pure” is a compilation of strictly complicated experimental music from United States of America, provided by artists that are known as pure experimentalists without any admissions. Joe Colley base his sound on the studying of various randomized processes, static noise and urban objects. Jessica Rylan designs her own synthesizers and accomplishs audacious voice performances. Kevin Drumm is fond of playing guitar by everything he is able to get in his hands: from piece of glass to electromagnet.

The result can be listened as hard, but rather charm liveset, that took place in Moscow DOM club.”

GFR #05s [dj.noizcut - blossom air]

Posted in Abstract, Drum & Bass by bleepwatcher

“Ready for another release? This time it’s the single called ‘Blossom Air’ by dj.noizcut, as we mentioned earlier. It’s all about abstract, although one part bangs as some alternative d’n'b stuff, so don’t be lazy and do some dancing - we’ll appreciate that :) Blossom Air track will be also featured on upcoming EP ‘Community Cut’, so you can get little imagination of how it will sound - many digged samples, muddy beats, lo-fi parts… you get the point.”
