“Second EP by yan_g, released October 06, consisting of, let’s say, 4 melodic electronica tracks, spiced up (or down) with elements of glitch.
Dark and bright, worried and hopeful, messy and crystal clear, lots of paradoxal feelings, moods, states of mind… expressed in a melodic fashion with a particular attention paid to production.”
“Premeditation. Instinct. Improvisation. Design. ManB and Pseudo, from Italy, formed NenTE to explore the contours of spontaneity. They develop their live shows around a ‘leading theme’, and then improvise upon that theme. The result, using this jazz methodology, is electronica of subtlety and power. Their music lives in the same spaces as Italian cinema– existential, complex and elusive.”
“Death On Glamour is famous Ukrainian electronic underground band, with unique sound and artistic vision, playing unusual experimental music. Released two albums: ‘TRD Generation,’ on its own studio in Ukraine, and ‘Sad Of Dying Crazy,’ in Hungary. Death On Glamour is one of the worlds most brutal and hard-edged underground bands.”
“Relationship with a new hairdryer in a multicolour sexy-shop arises from the necessity of being moulded in loud fabrics of the little emotional fractures with the surrounding environment, the title of cd and some tracks although they can appear paradoxical and grotesque always come from traumatic and not actually happen situations. The title of cd and some tracks, although they can appear paradoxical and grotesque, always come from traumatic and not actually happen situations.
One tries to melt the ‘aseptic’ noise produced by dental studies and domestic recordings prevalently made in the late afternoon together with the abounding in images and dreamy matter of audio-reminders through continuos cuts and sudden overturnings discordances. It is however a grotesque sad work for certain directions really for his take form from innumerable personal experiences which in some way have marked, only hope that this side of his cannot weigh subject to neuroleptic material engagement during the listening.”
“Old Strikes New releases his Arcade Awake EP after a lengthy period making final production tweaks and the results are simply outstanding. The title track is a 9-minute centrepiece of hip-hop beats and free jazz noodlings that blends the experimental sounds of Tortoise and the Anticon label into a fluid audio collage. This is surrounded by six pieces of deep, moody electronica that combine lulling piano, pensive dialogue, jittery beats and an overall sense of stark, aesthetic beauty.”
“Behind Ideell is 16 year old Alexander Eldefors, from Ã…re, Sweden. Grunn is his first ep, but it has been lying on my harddrive collecting dust so long that Alexander managed to record and release a beautiful mini-album since I got the ep. To me Grunn sounds like summer nights, the sun slowly starts so set with ‘Someone had a thought, I know who’. When ‘So beautiful outside, so sad inside’ comes along, we can clearly see the stars. The nights ends with ‘Happy ending’, the sound of the sun rising up again. A perfect soundtrack for sleepless nights when you just sit, waiting for the day to come.”
“The musical orthodoxy imposes rigid dogma: hymns of notes and beats per minutes, dirges of technics and technique. Pseudo explores the ways to enlightenment which arise from sound, not notes, from wave frequencies, not scales, and from emotions rather than the limitations of method.
His electronica seeks to be a music which is experienced, and not merely heard. A note, a phrase, a guitar pad or even casual frequencies must recall for the listener something seen, felt, or lived.
Just like the process of enlightment of the gnosticism, Pseudo composes with this ‘non-rational’ approach. Within the sounds are the opportunity to work out different possible truths. The work revels in the process of receiving signals by the real world for further transcending, re-organizing them into instinctive systems capable to open new scenes of reality–maybe even to catch glimpses of a ’supernatural project’.
To accomplish this sense of spiritual experiment, Pseudo recorded this tracks live, improvising upon some effects setup and live loops combined together in different ways to give different feels. The goal is a kind of gnostic guitar–a knowing within the sounds. Whether the listener is the most devoted materialist, the orthodox traditionalist or the experimental seeker, we invite you discover what Pseudo has moved from imagination into reality here.
Pseudo hails from Enna (Italy)”
“Renu has greeted us with his latest release ‘Hello How are You’ which delivers beautiful melodic electronica with an urban twist. Deep bass, hard beats, and chilled melodies are a reoccurring characteristic of his sound.”
“Intervall-audio releases Sora’s ‘Live at Metro’, a richly textured, playfully arranged, crisply analogue-sounding electronica opus that evokes that the peacefully relaxing atmosphere and emptiness of mind that an entire day, from sunrise to sunset, of a summer holiday spent at the beach brings.
‘Live at Metro’ features remixes from Sora’s first full-length album ‘re.sort’ (Plop 2003), as well as hitherto unreleased material. Sora is the alias of Kyoto-based electronic musician Takeshi Kurosawa.”
“[What is contained in darkness holds the greatest potential for light]
This compilation is slightly darker than the previous ’selected works #1.’ More than 1 hour of typical tripper styled melodic electronica, spacepop and softtech.
We have a dualistic view of our world, we tend to categorize things as positive vs. negative, light vs. darkness, evil vs. good, me vs. everyone else. Our thinking processes happen in left (logical) and right (intuitive) sides of our brains.
Left brain thinking dominates our world today. We are not our minds and as quantum-science proves: we are at the most fundamental level ONE consciousness that is NOT connected to the body. Most of our DNA is behaving like an antenna that receives and transmits energy (possible ‘quantum internet?’). The cutting edge science is actually finding our roots again by connecting true spiritual/ancient knowledge with todays technological mindset and knowledge. (tripper)”
