AH #018 [ophibre - reference]

Tuesday, October 2nd, 2007

“Set to stand alone with a strong physical presence is Ophibre’s REFERENCE. This sonic sculpture communicates through complex interconnected paths that breathe as natural forces allow them to adapt. The track begins with a prickly textural abstraction, both organic and mechanical, and then continues to a melodic and psychedelic outgrowth of the original movement.

Unified by layers of recordings the first half of REFERENCE is shaped by the experiences of the past, not directly representational but guided by spiritual and intellectually developed sonic imagery. The floating quality of atonal noise creates a moving mirage of thoughts and memories that are shifted and refracted through the second movement. The melodic movement solidifies the references to the past as it allows for meditative tones to set a common focus that acts as a guide to self-awareness.”

ONMP #060 [zero v - nameless]

Monday, October 1st, 2007

“A fusion of 90s electro and its requisite Twin Peaks fixation with the hilarious concept feel of a Parliament-Funkadelic LP, Nameless sees Zero V on a continuing mission to ‘publish whatever possible!’

Included are remixed versions of demo tracks from his unpublished album, To Dance or Not To Dance, and new tracks which make up for a slight lack of ideas of the re-release of Leaves of Grass. ‘Thinks’ works around the drone from a moog and the occasional radiowaves are spot-on. The album is produced by Zero V and DJ PulseID.”

RB #004 [adrián juárez - caleta uno]

Sunday, September 9th, 2007

“Adrián Juárez was born in La Plata (Buenos Aires, Argentina).

He studied piano for seven years and then he got close to other musical instruments in an intuitive way. Besides his role as an artist he’s in charge of Frígida Records netlabel where he edits music by artists from all over the world.

In his large output he comes near a long genre list, but on the two ‘Caleta’-Volumes he celebrates 4 calm, tranquil ambient tunes. Slightly vibrating soundscapes and soft drones guide the listener through over 90 minutes of deeply emotional music.

So close your eyes and put your headphones on.”

One #031 [machinefabriek - stuip/staar]

Sunday, September 2nd, 2007

“Machinefabriek’s Stuip and Staar are two minimal drone performances captured at the Cross Street Chapel, Manchester (UK) and the Toneelschuurm, Haarlem (NL). Running just under an hour his processed guitar textures rise and fall, stretching their substance through etheral minimalism, slowly evolving epic heights, and moments of sublime symphony.

Rutger Zuyderveit’s work has gained much attention over the past few years through performance, his self-titled imprint, and releases at labels such as Type and Lampse. We’re pleased to have him join our ranks and carry forward the ambient series of One releases previously visited by past alumns such as Loscil, Makunouchi Bento, Kaneel, and Kwook.”

AMR #024 [cronus - intervals]

Wednesday, August 29th, 2007

“This EP is a selection of ideas and techniques I’ve learned in the past year– its a beginning to a record of steady streams of visions, shapes and colors I see in my head interpreted into sound. It deals with experimental sounds and tones made from scratch, and vocal samples destroyed and arranged into organic textures. Drones, soundscapes, thoughtful melodies and glitchy rythyms are the flavor of choice. Each track on this EP was written with a non traditional arrangement in mind for the reason of letting the sounds play their full part for the people who enjoy sound in its full glory.”

JON7NET #029 [V.A. - disturbing music for disturbing times]

Friday, April 27th, 2007

“Different artists were asked to submit material of a dark/disturbing nature. The resulting tracks explore these themes through dark ambiance, noise, lo-fi electronics, and sound collage.

The compilation begins with the droning ‘14k scumbag’: a resonance of distorted synths and insect-crackle. Next, ‘Swed_Fl’ lures us into the darkness with its deep bass and cheerless ambiance. Belgium’s Roebin de Freitas delivers the circuit-bent noise of ‘Trailblazers Anthem,’ which is followed by the Merzbow-like assault of Rotted Brain’s ‘Misunderstood.’ The next two tracks, ‘Battle Ready’ and ‘Rumr’ feature lo-fi electronics and misfiring drum machine patterns.

Turmoil returns us to the darkness with ‘Auditory Hallucinations,’ a night-time walk through an unfamiliar landscape. ‘Waxing Elephant’ shifts and jostles like a carnival ride gone haywire, while ‘Armaments’ sounds like a cheap video game being eaten by a distortion pedal. Aptly named, ‘Transmissions from the Asylum’ creates a disturbing atmosphere where disembodied voices cry out in the silence. The haunting ambiance of Wavespan’s ‘The Bridge’ evokes a sense of being followed, as footsteps echo amidst a background of dark drones and chiming metal.

Mystified expands his netlabel discography with ‘Instability 2′: an unsettling arrangement of shifting electronic tones. The compilation finishes with the urban field recording of ‘Drugs and Our Youth,’ by label head Jon7.”
