“Roman Kutnov from Kazan, Russia, who stands behind the Nole Plastique moniker, prepared for us something much different from his previous works released on Nexsound, Arterija, 20kbps rec and other net- and regular labels.
Until now he has been best known for electroacoustic, impressionist soundscapes but with this release he goes into a brand new territory.
The five tracks presented here are the result of two jam sessions with his fellow musicians.
The result is an album with psychedelic, avant-rock’esque songs, intense and hypnothising music consisting of both, live instruments and electronic sound manipulations. “

“Student of the surreal, Door, has ventured for the first time into Piston Source domain with the release of his/her Planetarium Sky EP. A collage of both the simplistic and complicated, rough and smooth, a picture is painted in your mind of staring up in awe into the summer night sky wondering if you are really looking into the vastness of the unknown, or simply staring a wall closer than you think made up to look like the far reaches of space. These 5 songs won do anything to convince you either way, but they will help you relax…”
[As usual with Piston Source releases, they are open source format designed for the free player/editor (available on the CUTS page) PxTone by Pixel of Cave Story fame. Enjoy.]

“I first heard the songs of Elliot Little aka Grounded Circle in early 2006. Since then I have never stopped playing his music. He is the first artist I invited to join memoryformat and in fact one of the artists that inspired its creation. During this period of time, whenever I listened to a new tune from Elliot it felt like reading the latest chapter in a wonderfully strange story, then looking forward to the next one. This release is that story put together in the order that I received it. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.” — sk

“Free Us Machinus is nkaspiration’s debut release with Custom. This spaced out, twenty+ minute EP is a mix of both laid-back beats and hectic percussion; an enjoyable collection of drill and groovy melodies. Best taken before sleep.”

“Everybody needs a place where its nice– Deymare shows us where it is. Straight from Finland this talented Producer brings us two moody Deephouse numbers, driven by the Percussions and a Piano, that builds up a synthline halfway into the track.”

“OK, listen up… this release is a little different and we like it that way. Be prepared for a little dose of chaos– CMR style. C-C proves that genres are for suckers with his Custom debut: Muse Ick Fact Or Y. You’ve been warned, now check it out.”

“We’d like to welcome you to the new year with one of our most ambitious releases to date, Xedh’s Composition in red. Clocking just under 24 minutes, Miguel A. Garcia gives us motion, enhancing and pushing the limits of perspective, leaving prudence and opening the listener to unpredictable movements. In a constant struggle for balance, Xedh explores mathetmatics and cognitive logic on one side and pits it against nature and harmony. The result is an abstract brawl for domination, as you can discern the organic tissue from the synthetic in their collisions. There is an uneasy, but raw, universal beauty to this track, like throwing paint on a wall with rage and watching it trickle down. Composition in reds dichotomy, dynamic and intrigue is both sonic and visual, and it feels like you’re bearing witness to the creation, and destruction, of a Pollock or Rothko.
Also included in this release [within the compressed archive], is a 4 part video release, directed by Sara Paniagua, and she rightfully explores Xedh’s music with compassion, distance and romanticism. She melds chaos and staticity into one hour of recordings; including a walk in the woods, a choreographed presentation and various visual experimentations.”
