Bulbs - Color Attic

Bulbs

Color Attic

12inchSP066
Shelter Press
18.03.2016

Two years ago Shelter Press was based in the Alps where Pete Swanson made a s stop while he was on tour. Not sure why we started to talk about this LA-based duo he released a few years back but the idea of having Bulbs doing a new recording for Shelter Press came up before dessert.
If you've never heard their music befofre they sound like Stars of the Lid jamming with Seekers International and a lucky dip of quaaludes, they turn a standard guitar/drums set-up into apparatus for loosely fluid adventures between the plunging, exploratory dub and chant of 'Ladder Wing', thu the amniotic ambience of 'Skylight', to pursue the beautifully elusive dub spectres in 'Yoke' As Pete Swanson explains:'Bulbs is a band that I like so much that I started a record label to rep their work. I put out their 'Light Ships' album in 2008 because I was so impressed with how futuristic their music was.
They've remained active on their own terms since then, releasing a number of microeditions of their music including a few incredible tapes. Generally Bulbs' music does not sound like the guitar/ drum instrumentation would indicate.
They have much more to do with Chain Reaction than White Stripes, but with the benefit of live instrumentation and an adventurous edge, they end up much wilder, looser, more organic than anything coming out of Berlin...'

The Tapes - Selected Works 1982 - 1992

Ecstatic offer a fascinating, often dizzying insight to the primitive industrial minimalism of Italian siblings, Giancarlo and Roberto Drago, a.k.a. The Tapes, via Selected Works 1982 - 1992 sourced from original tapes and pressed to vinyl for the first time ever.
Following on from Ecstatic's issue of 'mail artist' Danielle Ciullini's Domestic Exile Collected Works 82-86, this set surveys a blind-spot in most people's knowledge of early '80s Italian underground music, framed against a backdrop of the Anni di Piombo, or Years of Lead - a period of domestic political turmoil between the late '60s and early '80s - and the mushroom shadow of nuclear war.
Like their international tape-scene allies, The Tapes reacted to this world thru a matrix of mono-synths, drum machines, microphones and 4-track recorders, mostly recording/ experimenting ideas direct-to-tape in one take and making a virtue of their lo-fi set-up's infidelities and imperfections - randomness and mistakes were embraced rather than discarded - whilst absorbing the counter-cultural influence of William Burroughs or Throbbing Gristle, and the sci-fi dystopia of J.G. Ballard and John Foxx.
These 21 tracks, drawn from 10 different, limited tape releases, perfectly distill a wandering, weirdo spirit, ranging from the funereal swagger of Tanz Fabrik and the darkwave hip-thrust
of The Day of Silence to freeform, motorik trajectories such as Time Out of Joint and singular enigmas like the Actress-esque bobble of The Wait and Falso Movimento B2's weightless, hyaline spindles.
Collected and compiled by Alessio Natalizia (aka Not Waving) and remastered by Matt Colton, Selected Works 1982 - 1992 represents a decade of modest but searching and instinctively
grooving experimentation of the rarest, precious and compelling kind.
As Giancarlo Drago explains:
'The Tapes was an unplanned experience, an unplanned need to express myself Looking back on this music I wonder sometimes how I did it - the whole process from the concept to the completion. Everything I do now seems trivial and obvious and I just end up aborting the idea. And exactly for this reason I think that everything has its time, with a beginning and an end...'

Mmoths

Luneworks - 1lp+cd

12inchBEC5156268
Because Music
14.03.2016

Luneworks was created during a period of personal upheaval for Colleran, who headed out to a friend's tiny spare room in L.A with just a laptop and a few changes of clothes. What ensued was an intense month of twelve hour night-time writing and recording sessions, where Jack sought to isolate himself in order to keep the songs as pure as possible. The quietness of the city at night was a real inspiration, and the constraints of an alien environment proved something of a liberation. The ancestral, ethereal spirit of Ireland is also present throughout Luneworks. Kevin Shields (My Bloody Valentine), one of Dublin's most famous sonic outliers, is a noted influence - another musician who has wrung sweet emotion out of chaotic noise. The result is Luneworks, a fully immersive head-trip, a record that is at times brutal and at others unbearably beautiful, sometimes in the overlap of a single track. Luneworks is a mirror to the soul - a gorgeous, wordless expression of unedited, unfiltered emotion, heralding the arrival of one of the most important electronic artists of our generation. Key Points: ' Played on BBC Radio1: So much love for this, it's epic' - Phil Taggart ' Mmoths has previously played shows as special guest of Aphex Twin, and The XX, putting 'Luneworks' on the stage. ' Great support from tastemakers Media: Thump, DIY, Stereogum, The Line of Best Fit, Wonderland... ' First track Deu premiered on XLR8R

Francois De Roubaix Et Bernard Maitre Le Labyrinthe Des Onix - Le Labyrinthe Des Onix

In 1972 Francois de Roubaix and Bernard Maitre composed together the music of a TV series for children presented by puppets, called the Onix. The musical oddity here released by WeMe Records is a part of this OST. This piece of music demonstrates once again that Francois de Roubaix was in touch with all kinds of music of his time, including contemporary music. In this experimental track we can feel the influences of the composer Pierre Henry, an other explorer of unknown sounds. On the B side Jodey Kendrick makes his own interpretation of this music with current tech and sounds while keeping the atmosphere and fantasy of the original sound. Attention "Non music" !

Sova Stroj is the nom de plume of Luxembourg-based producer Michel Flammant. With a history in black metal, rock and synth pop bands, he has now ventured out on his own, delving into experimental and electronic music. Sova Stroj's debut album 'Silent Earth' explores feelings of willful desertion through forty minutes of highly concentrated and almost teleologically dark ambient patterns. Musically the album is centered around an abstracted industrial music influence paired with precise and evocative melodic and harmonic explorations.

Brave Timbers - Hope

Brave Timbers

Hope

12inchGZH63LP
Gizeh Records
26.02.2016

Hope is the new album by Newcastle-based Brave Timbers, originally the solo-project of multi-instrumentalist Sarah Kemp. This is their second album following 2010's For Every Day You Lost, which quickly sold out its limited pressing. Sarah is joined on this album by Andrew Scrogham and together they recorded Hope in a Victorian concert hall in Salford, UK. Their music has also been featured on Second Language's Minute Papillon and Music & Migration compilations alongside Peter Broderick, Vashti Bunyan, Hauschka and Dustin O'Halloran.Hope is a reflective, pastoral album that carefully builds its ambient landscapes. These eleven instrumental compositions demonstrate the minimal clarity of Brave Timbers, the piano and violin circling one another, creating a sense of space and terrain. There's also dreamy timelessness within the music's flow and weave, from Swimming in the Isar's gauzy atmospheres to the brittle warmth of The Well Worn Path. Hope has a purity and a simplicity which Brave Timbers bathe in a golden, spectral light.

A Sagittariun - Elasticity

A Sagittariun

Elasticity

CDEDREAMSCD002
Elastic Dreams
25.04.2016

Ambient techno exponent, A Sagittariun, fires off another full-length album transmission this April on his own Elastic Dreams label. 'Elasticity' is the Bristol based artist's second long player, and the follow up to his acclaimed 2013 debut, 'Dream Ritual'. Having last released a trio of singles in early 2015 (for Hypercolour, Secret Sundaze and Elastic Dreams), 'Elasticity' marks a return for A Sagittariun, and fans of the slippery and elastic sounds that hallmarked his debut album will not be disappointed. 'Dream Ritual' helped firmly establish A Sagittariun as an artist whose musical chops and integrity operate largely outside of the mainstream and a producer who chooses to put the music firmly center stage, whilst opting to remain relatively anonymous within the music scene. A Sagittariun explains; 'Elasticity was recorded over quite a short period, but the sketches and ideas have been germinating for some time, so sonically it's very coherent and consistent and moves in a way that I personally like albums to move in, with a narrative and flow that holds you right to the end. The recipe for Elasticity was always to be malleable and pliable with the sounds and tempos; for me it's all about the listening experience, and creating a landscape and a world within that one can really get deep into and explore, it's optimistic and progressive music for the head, heart and feet. I really do advise the listener to don headphones and take the trip with me".

Mika Vaino & Franck Vigroux - Peau Froide, Lmger Soleil

Peau froide, lèger soleil, is the result of a three year recording process, initiated by Mika Vainio and Frank Vigroux after a series of shared live experiences. Sprawling after a show in Paris in 2012, their collaboration is an exercise in sensitive intensity, drifting the whole space between minimalist meditations and maximalist kinetics. Vainio's signature brutalist production resonates all throughout the record, constructing a psychic scenario for Vigroux's researches in spatial abstraction and tonal radicalism.Densely built though free-from structural limitation, this album is an intense 9track motion, serving as the third installment in Cosmo Rhythmatic's catalog and acting as new chapter in the label's construction an uncompromising sonic identity.

Rafael Anton Irisarri - A Fragile Geography

After famously having his entire earthly possessions stolen from a van parked outside his house the night before he was due to relocate from Seattle to New York, Rafael Anton Irisarri returns with "A Fragile Geography', his first album since 2013's "The Unintentional Sea'.

In some respects it's his most convincing work to date, perhaps perversely benefitting from having to completely rebuild his studio, affording Irisarri the opportunity to re-assess his production style and opt for something altogether more original and intuitive then his previous albums. "A Fragile Geography' is a more fluid prospect than its predecessors, the production seems more detailed and the transitions from barely-there drone to towering layers of noise seem relatively effortless.

Reprisal' achieves this with the kind of serene intensity that might give Tim Hecker a run for his money, while "Empire Systems' repeats the trick with a more euphoric palette, sounding somewhere between early, instrumental Sigur Ros and prime Ulrich Schnauss - epic in its scale, intimate in its effect. Hiatus', however, is perhaps the best thing here - a classic Badalamenti backdrop offering Irisarri the opportunity to try something different up top, a disharmonious fragment of melody imbuing proceedings with the feel of something genuinely menacing lurking around the corner, something that no amount of bombast could achieve.

In all - it's a rewarding listen, especially recommended to those of you into the darkened aesthetic of classic Miasmah releases or the smokey, Lynchian ambience of Bohren and Der Club of Gore, minus the jazz.

Walls And Dimensions I

Blkrtz
03.08.2015

In November of last year I closed up my studio in Berlin to embark on a 3 month journey with my family primarily to Chile where my wife is from with several other stops across Latin America. Having just completed the production process for the box set of my first 3 ~scape albums on one hand, and looking toward the upcoming work on what will be my 10th artist album, the trip provided a unique opportunity to take stock of where I've been as an artist and what I wanted to say in the next chapter of this process. Due to the extensive travel schedule and few hours I would have for music making each day, I limited myself technically to focusing on collecting field recordings and renewing my interest in free form software synthesis experiments with no consideration of how they may later fit into a traditional song context. These limitations created a framework in which I spent the first few hours of each day creating what affectionately came to be known as the daily drone. While this in and of itself provided a wealth of inspiration and a reconfirmed that deep, patient listening is as an important part of my creative process, the tragic death of my father in law in an accident in mid December would ultimately lend these exercises an entirely new level of gravitas. The death of a loved one brings with it a full spectrum of powerful emotions and inescapable reflections of both one's self, place in the world, and ultimately one's own mortality. As such, what began as a collection of daily musical exercises was suddenly transformed into a virtual space for my own quiet contemplations. Music offers a singularly powerful opportunity for catharsis beyond any written word. It is my hope that others may find similar room for reflection amongst these humble drones.' Deadbeat, March 2015

Lawrence - A Day In The Life

A Day In The Life

12inchMULE180
Mule Musiq
24.11.2014

all art has to be combined with the notion of outlast. this can be only realized when the energies of the expenditure do not disappear and get stored in the creation. to get this creative process started, an artist needs to open himself to the world collapsing upon him.

'a day in the life' - the brand-new ambient and beyond album by lawrence, confirms this assumption - yet no world really collapsed on the dj and producer from hamburg. instead his emotional perception danced upon friendship and wanderlust and he put together twelve tracks for an album dedicated to his long lasting relation to toshiya kawasaki, man of action behind labels like mule musiq, endless flight and mule electronic, and the artist stefan marx.

besides co-running the label dial and the mathew gallery in berlin lawrence is constantly releasing music on his own labels and befriended platforms like smallville records. furthermore the north german regularly contributes to kawasaki's imprints mule musiq and electronic. just recently he dropped the ep 'blue mountain' on mule musiq - a deep emotional foretaste of what 'a day in the life' delivers on album length.

the music he shares on his latest long player isn't linked to a special place or event. he mostly produced it up-road on his dj trips around the globe including toshiya's homeland japan. back in his cosy backyard studio in hamburg he finished all musical pieces and mixed them down with a lot of joy.

they are listening to great track names like "nowhere is a place" or "lost in joy", which allow in combination with the lovingly detailed sounds imaginative mind games. in terms of style ambient calls the tune and opens the genre into the wide open with the very own musical and emotive language of lawrence.

a track like 'nowhere is a place' spreads smoothly twisted spectral vibes with blurring sounds that could easily originate from alienated instruments like a damaru or a conch horn. lawrence himself keeps it secret and let the music speak for itself. sometimes soft sizzling noise slides under gentle balanced ambient air like in the track 'the visit'.

in other arrangements he let the chords dance with cute smacking electronic glimpses or odd slow-motion melodies remind on the work of hans-joachim roedelius and his love for the gentle swing.

all compositions float and sound like the improvisations of a virtuoso who has forgotten his virtuosity in order to drown real deep in his creations. for lawrence the album is 'a triple buddy record' as not only his emotional content is included in the finished product. also his friends stefan marx - who is in charge for the artwork - and mule musiq head toshiya kawasaki have been profoundly involved in the outcome.

'since ten years the three of us work together. the record shows this very nicely in terms of our love for ambient music and cover artwork. the cover shows stefan's sublet apartment in nyc - also a very ambient place.
the idea for the record emerged out of a sudden inspiration and this fits prefect to the way how toshiya runs a label where sharing a good natural wine is more important than marketing.'

lawrence confesses about the genesis of 'a day in the life' and its emotional content. it is a weightless one where all feelings are stored supremely in what you can hear, see and hold in hand. and they are not made for them alone. they are there to share.

Skam Records are very proud to release an album of unheard tracks from one of our very first artists and it feels good to have him back home.

Jega has always provided his own slant on the genre, with warm standout melodies and his always edgy solid beats driving it all. Its good to hear his machines working again after all these years.

Jega returns with a selection of the year before his seminal first release (Ska006). A collection of unreleased tracks from 1995, recorded live to Cassette Tape and DAT, and gathered 20 years later to form "1995".

This album provides a glimpse into the fledgling electronic music scene of the 90's.

Jega has released three albums on PLANET MU.

The centre of the release comes with duo Fini & Lamanna,a unique guitar and synth piece representing the exact feelings of the compilation as well as sentimental tracks from Spygeist, Giuseppe Marra and Phooka. Enrico Cosimi aka Tau Ceti releases an incredible classic drone modular manipulation and analogue music from Livio Improta and Phorm to close the circle.

* Final tracks in a post Balearic Ambient mood provided by artists Valerio Moscatelli and Loris Ligonzo.

Amaeth - The Roman

Amaeth

The Roman

CDGZH64DP
Gizeh Records
12.02.2016

The first in Gizeh's new 'Dark Peak' series of CD releases and limited to just 175 copies. - Should appeal to fans waiting for a new A-Sun Amissa record and good press coverage expected from

Heavy, reverberating drones and bleak orchestral passages form the soundtrack to the independent, silent film The Roman. Æmaeth is the project of Owen Pegg (A-Sun Amissa / Hundred Year Old Man) and The Roman is his latest piece of film scoring. Pegg has also recently composed scores for The Raindance 10 minute short 2014 winner Man Can and Raindance 2015 'Dark Wave' entry To Catch A Butterfly."

The Roman's 60 minute journey is dissected into 10 pieces and the stark atmosphere remains throughout, with fleeting moments of hope and light emerging from time to time. It's an altogether immersive experience, and one that works equally with or without the accompanying film and imagery. The bone-chilling soundscapes move almost in slow-motion, the claustrophobic tones are bordering on suffocating at times, but there is always sweet relief close at hand; a break in clouds and a crack of light for company.

The record started life as a series of improvised drones and motifs played on guitar and piano to rough cuts of scenes during the film's post production. At this point the production was unravelling the story and, as edits were made and initial cuts started to filter through, the rough improvisations began to find their place within the context of the film. This process allowed for the gradual addition of further instrumentation and players as a 'building-block' process, where the mood and requirements for each scene dictated the direction of every movement. This allowed each piece to develop independently while simultaneously maintaining and even revisiting sounds over and over, creating themes for characters and a memory of the path already travelled. This idea is typified by the recurring saw-like bowed guitar which repeatedly breaks through, reminding us of what follows the two companions - death.

Upon completion of the film, and its premiere on May 10th 2014, work began to piece the score together into a cohesive album in its own right. Further studio time was logged with long standing friend and collaborator Richard Knox (A-Sun Amissa / Shield Patterns / The Rustle of the Stars / Glissando) to hone and polish the individual musical 'scenes' into a flowing album that seamlessly moves between the delicate structured melodies and dense uneasy drones.

This record forms the first release in Gizeh Records' new 'Dark Peak' series, a collection of limited CD editions, housed in special hand-crafted packaging, designed and assembled at Gizeh HQ.

  • 3: It's My Forest
  • 4: Follow Me
  • 5: The Unexpected
  • 6: Just When I Think About You

  • 10: If (Feat. Antonello Salis)
  • 11: Summary
  • 12: And It All Ends Here (Feat. Antonello Salis)

And it All Ends Here (feat. Antonello Salis) Short info: As both a producer and the helmsman of the Outis Music label, Dino Sabatini has carved out a distinctive musical style that shows a great reverence for both ancient archetypes and future possibilities for change (see, for example, his Mnemosyne' co-release with Edit Select, in which each track is dedicated to a separate Greek goddess). With one foot planted in a mysterious past and the other foot planted in a world yet to arrive, Sabatini's works are carefully realized emotional journeys that intertwine shimmers of optimism with undercurrents of poignancy or nostalgia. His latest full-length offering, Omonimo' (that's homonym' for non-speakers of Italian), brings all of this to fruition on a record that demands (and rewards) deep listening. After a pulsating Foreword' massages the mind and prepares it for the story that Sabatini is about to tell, Choosing the Right Way' blankets the listener in a rainy day ambience punctuated with tantalizingly distant vocal refrains and nimble piano. At once solemn and erotic, it sets the pace perfectly for a set of tracks that have a cohesive feel, yet all use their own sonic vocabulary and color palette to tell unique variations on the story. It's My Forest,' for example, sticks to the reliable trip-hop / mid-tempo framework while introducing quick snatches of tabla and signaling, hovering synth arpeggios. Follow Me' retains the lush synth pads and cycling percussive loops of that track, and then things take a turn for the slightly darker with The Unexpected,' a sudden uptick in percussive punch and apprehensive intensity.

Tagwell Woods - Mecca

Tagwell Woods

Mecca

12inchPF11
Photic Fields
15.01.2016

It's been two years since Tagwell Woods first appeared on W.T. Records. His rich and refreshingly unique techno style caught the ears of the faithful. Finally, finally, the Londoner is back on vinyl with six pieces of his original brand of machine music. And the wait is worth it. Tracks like "Christmas" and "Training" pulsate with feeling. Others like "Rabbit Society" and "Chance" build on that emotion. Crisp percussion and heartening strings are weaved as lush moments and textures unfurl. The 12" is incredibly deep and flooded with sentiment. But don't be mistaken into thinking Tagwell Woods deals in weight, instead it's his lightness of touch that sings. "Tied Waves" is fragile and delicate, whispering before blossoming into being. The finale, the beautifully uplifting "Velocity", has that same deftness. Mecca defies classification. Electronica. Techno. House. Acid. All are lovingly melted together to produce an absorbing and soulful second release, a release which is testament to the talent of this fledgling musician. Limited to 300 copies, 180 gr vinyl.

Further
16.06.2015

With a quiet intensity over the last 12 years, Strategy has proven himself to be an incredibly resourceful and rewarding musician in both group settings and as a solo artist. In the latter guise, this Portland producer/multi-instrumentalist (aka Paul Dickow) has released a prolific amount of excellent work for quality indie labels such as Kranky, Idle Hands, 100% Silk, Endless Flight, and Entr'acte, putting a cerebral yet sensual spin on dub, ambient, post rock, and house music. For his Further Records debut, Noise Tape Self, Strategy delves ever deeper into his more ambient inclinations and experiments with tape loops. Most of the six tracks bear titles more suited for a library record, but Noise Tape Self lacks library music's faceless functionality; rather, it's an immersive soundtrack to stimulating one's imagination or losing one's bearings. Dickow says he became obsessed with making tape music in 2008, after tiring of using the computer as his main instrument. Fellow Portland producer/ingenious gear-tinkerer David Chandler (Solenoid) taught Dickow 'how to make a tape loop that could be put inside a cassette tape. I got really into this, and got a 4 track, knowing this would allow me to have four synchronized loops per tape. I would then run each channel through a series of effects and 'perform' live mixes using the loops. I alternated between using source material of my own devising and using whatever source material happened to be on the cassettes I was hacking.

Charlemagne Palestine + Rhys Chatham - Youuu + Mee = Weee (first)

This is the first recorded collaboration between Charlemagne Palestine and Rhys Chatham. And it's precious. After the musical meeting with  Tony Conrad (SR204), and with Z'ev (SR340), this new Sub Rosa sessions creates a form of trilogy. Rhys Chatham
Rhys Chatham began his musical career as a piano tuner for avant-garde pioneer La Monte Young as well as harpsichord tuner for Gustav Leonhardt, Rosalyn Tureck and Glenn Gould. He soon studied under electronic music pioneer Morton Subotnick and minimalist icon La Monte Young and was a member of Young's group, The Theater of Eternal Music, during the early seventies; Chatham also played with Tony Conrad in an early version of Conrad's group, The Dream Syndicate. In 1971, while still in his teens, Chatham became the first music director at the experimental art space The Kitchen in lower Manhattan. His early works, such as Two Gongs (1971) owed a significant debt to Young and other minimalists. His concert productions included experimenters Maryanne Amacher, Robert Ashley, Philip Glass, Meredith Monk, Pauline Oliveros, Steve Reich, and early alternative rockers such as Fred Frith, Robert Fripp, Arto Lindsay, and John Lurie. He has worked closely with visual artist/musician Robert Longo, particularly in the 1980s, and on an experimental opera called XS: The Opera Opus (1984-6) with the visual artist Joseph Nechvatal. By 1977, Chatham's music was heavily influenced by punk rock, having seen an early Ramones concert. He was particularly intrigued by and influential upon the group of artists music critics would label No Wave in 1978. Members of the New York City noise rock band Band of Susans began their careers in Chatham's ensembles; they later performed a cover of Chatham's "Guitar Trio" on their 1991 album, The Word And The Flesh. (This parallels the way that members of fellow NYC noise rockers Sonic Youth began their careers in Branca's ensembles; Thurston Moore of Sonic Youth did play with Chatham as well.) Chatham began playing trumpet in 1983, and his more recent works explore improvisatory trumpet solos; these are performed by Chatham himself, employing much of the same amplification and effects that he acquired with the guitar, over synthesized dance rhythms by the composer Martin Wheeler.

02.03.2015

Since its inception at the end of the last century, POP AMBIENT has always been a labor of love: meticulously curated by Wolfgang Voigt, these releases never showed much interest in any particular style of the day. Much more genre-defining than trendsetting, they followed their own path and established a unique aesthetic sitting somewhere between experimental field recordings, no-age music and smooth synth pop - we like to think of it as elevator music for the vertically challenged. It's also been an overflowing pan these last years, with a dizzying array of musicians trying their hands at beatless eletronics with certain time-transcending properties - as good a reason as any to take the brand one step further and introduce our listeners to our freshly minted Pop Ambient album series, where we'll spoil you with full-length offerings from top-tier tinkerers in the field. Serving as the series' glorious first instalment is EL REINO INVISIBLE, a diverse and conclusive collection of beautifully rendered synthscapes from none other than Pop Ambient staple LEANDRO FRESCO.
