RB #008 [astrowind - somewhere the music had been played]

Wednesday, October 3rd, 2007

“After two amazing releases (The Night The Stars Flew/Electrosound & Into Vernadsky/12rec), Astrowind come up with another great 7-track-EP.

Deeply influenced by german krautrock, Somewhere The Music Had Been Played puts you in a warm blanket and let you float in time and space. This deep harmonic athmosphere guides you through the complete release.

From the first track soft bubbling synth-patterns and soundscapes take you by the hand and let you forget time and space around you. And leave you after 35 minutes in a calm and peaceful condition.

By the way: The whole EP was recorded during a live improvisation on soviet-era analog synth and desktop FX. An exciting example of creating music together spontaniously.”

AMR #017 [weimar - basement rock]

Tuesday, October 2nd, 2007

“Weimar is a solo project of Radek Kordasiewicz, a polish musician known for such bands as Ollin, Elvatorium and multimedia group MusicWordArt. Improvised sounds, crossing the borders of genres and musical ethics– these are the aims for Weimar’s existence. The project was born in the summer 2005 (July/August) with a series of improvised, rapid recordings released later as the ‘Calling’ album (strongly limited home made self release).

Weimar was always there, with Radek searching for new ways of expression.  From totally horrible noises to ambiences and acoustics. In the meantime, there was a ‘crash’.  The greater percent of Radek’s recordings done under the name of Weimar have disappeared from his computer due to some hard drive and system complications (they included a legendary session with female singer, Midia, that took place in late autumn, 2005).

In 2007 the project faced its return, due to the rise of Amduscias Records. His first full album, ‘Basement Rock,’ was released in April, presenting the chosen recordings from Calling, aswell as many new ones. There are a series of ‘Ambiences’ EPs planned (many contributors will appear), also a re-release of Calling should take place with partly recovered 2005’s autumn sessions. More albums, more rapid and strange sounds– lovely and frightening at the same time. That’s Weimar.”

IA #003 [kumiko okamura - mdda]

Monday, August 27th, 2007

“Kumiko Okamura, a current resident of the megalopolis of Tokyo, but born in the snowy regions of Niigata prefecture, is a self-proclaimed ’broken composer’ and ‘accident life player.’ Her MDDA album, a collection of improvised first-takes recorded onto four-track tape, is full of elegy, poetry and violence — a dream world that does not serve to prevent, but rather to invite, shock.”

NSI #015 [nente - eareye]

Monday, April 16th, 2007

“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.”

SND #004 [old strikes new - arcade awake]

Thursday, March 29th, 2007

“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.”

Lofty e#001 [johannes b., bazterrak, edorta izarzugaza, tüsüri, and xedh - living room 443]

Saturday, March 24th, 2007

“Living Room 443 is the name of the first reference in Lofty Escala. A composition in three parts signed by johannes b, bazterrak, edorta izarzugaza, tüsüri and xedh. Utilizing the improvisation as vertebral axis in the creative process, this recording winds the lands of the experimental music colder and occlusive. With a markedly industrial influence, these five basque artists situate us in environments and devastating and certainly marginal landscapes. A debut of luxury for Lofty Series in Escala Netlabel.”

NSI #014 [pseudo - gnostic guitar volume 1]

Saturday, March 17th, 2007

“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)”

CA #015 [V.A. - clinical sounds - vol.1]

Sunday, March 4th, 2007

“‘Clinical experience, and also carried out practical researches show, that simultaneous use of two hearing aids allows to distinguish more precisely sounds and, that is especially important, better to understand speech even to people with serious loss of hearing of one ear and full deafness of another…’ (from ‘Binaural prosthetics’)
