“Hi Netaudio dudes and gals, mOOdSplateau has a new release for you! A live performance by Tracker, formely known as Stark. Their sound is a tightrope walk along house and tekkno with elements taken from pop, dub and soul.” – elapse
“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.”
“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.”
“A great harsh noise production that will make your ears bleed. It’s a verrry long noise track played live at Radio Takkeherrie.”
“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.”
“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)”
“Clemens Hausch is not just one of many experimental musicians. He knows how he wants his music to sound and knows how to do it. Broken is a live session performed January 2007 by Clemens Hausch at the elektrogönner club in Vienna. The session is divided in three parts. The first part: Movement 1 / static, raises the imagination with a warm droning atmosphere. One of the few actual samples in the session is used here. Listen for the pad sound!
The second part: Movement 2 / moor, distinguishes some very original bell like sounds run through different effects. This is done with frequency divisions of simple saw waves (manually edited into more complex waves during the course of the session) and treated with various effects like filters, resonators, etc…The result is very original, light and airy, and makes you start wonder and discern the uniqueness of Clemens Hauschs niche in music composition.
The third and last part: Movement 3 / lift, combines the two previously parts and builds up to a crescendo. It might be a cliché to say, but in this case it’s true: after listening to ‘broken’ you wished you were there! But if you weren’t, well… you know what to do!”
“With an emphasis on live performance, dug is heavily infuenced by the music produced by record labels such as tresor, basic channel and m-nus among others. Ekwals second release, a 3 track e.p. entitled the okyo e.p. is dugs first attempt to contain his frantic live style into a few tracks. The Tokyo e.p. develops from a laid back opener to a more intense delivery of minimal techno. Thanks to John McCaig at PanicStudios for his mastering skills!”
“Noise64’s recently recorded liveact. It is as energetic as his Live At Cod Estek, so this archive is a must have for all those who liked his previous live act, and it is a must have also to those who like quality mixtures of electro-8bit-techno with a tremendously healthy sense of humour.”
“Live at Cod Estek is a monthly issued 3 part series of releases that contain the recordings of the very first mini-festival dedicated to Complementary Distribution netlabel that took place at Szovetseg 39 Gallery, in Budapest on the 6th and 7th of October 2006. Our third and last artist is Noise64, a new Hungarian electronic musician with only few releases yet at Complementary Distribution and Bitlab Records. Noise64’s music is powerful electro-techno and 8bit related dance music. The simple plus healthy mixture of these stylistic elements gives the listener fresh and intelligent movers, as it can be seen in this live set as well. The concert ends with the world’s most fantastic Loituma bootleg. “
