New York experimental musician/writer Dominic Coles released a limited edition of 2023 CDs from New York's experimental label Tripticks in June 6.Contains 100 pieces of computer collage sound poetry.Below is a commentary by the author himself. "Alphabet* Interpretation aims to find the determinants of the behavior of the whole subject by reducing the signifier to its non-meaning (absence of meaning) rather than clarifying the meaning. *Mama's Words I When I was a kid, I used to play a game where I could repeat any word over and over and hear it lose its meaning in my mouth, each time it became weirder, clumsy and alien. There is something alien about our language, and the voice as a conductor to that language: think of the endless awkwardness of hearing a recording of your own voice. No awkwardness when listening to recordings of our own voice, and it is only in the mouths of others that our words become clear. The words inside are actually foreign, not our own, because we are born into a world of premade discourses, the linguistic world of our parents and caretakers. From the beginning we have rooms and names and spaces in the linguistic world of our parents, this language is placed in us and in so far as it brings us the desire to be its favorite companion, it is also our It is also their desire placed within.Listening to the alphabet materializes this alienation in language.It begins didactically.Each word taken from a fragment of a narrated dream is an abstract The alphabet is developed in this electronic sound, and repetition reinforces the association between the word and the synthesized sound, allowing the listener to continue the association even after the sound disappears.The two types of alphabet listening The research was an early attempt to activate this process and evoke a newly coded voice in the listener's mind.Alphabet 3: push uses its own synthetic alphabet and uses it as a musical Placed in context, these speech-related sounds are brought into contact with uncoded musical tones (sounds that are not known to be speech-related), which become a form of interference and signal jamming that the listener loses contact with the original word.Although the synthetic alphabet is still easy to associate with the voice, it becomes almost impossible to find the original word content.This lost word becomes the content of the recollected dream fragment. It is the auditor's power that can operate through the medium of the listening context and the auditor's ability to speak with his tongue, his language, his associations where meaning has been lost. can be sandwiched.Once a language is fixed, it becomes a cage.Language determines our movements within it and our ideas about what is possible and what could be.Working with the signifier or signifier itself is to transform this cage, to understand that nothing in the world is fixed, but fundamentally transmutable and subject to transmutation. .For this purpose, both the listener and the subject of the listener itself are transformed in the audition.But work is needed to make this transformation a reality.At this point, I would like to emphasize the great effort required on the part of the listener to work with the signifier.It takes real effort to hear each word as a new codification.It is a demanding, difficult and sometimes tedious process.But isn't that true of all the work we do with ourselves? " +++ Below is a commentary by Sunik Kim. "Dominic Coles' introduction of the possibility of boredom into the act of listening is in itself admirable.We are exposed to passive boredom every day.Whether it's a job, the endless logistics of making a living, or more precisely, a bottomless flood of art that seeks to minimize the friction between the listener and the sound, listening devices and It seeks to hide, rather than expose, the many mediation layers and barriers between the bare waves.Traces of difficulty and ease are all too easily transferred to the surface of the sound material itself.Friction, or lack thereof, is only given formal life in the inevitable sorting and categorization into separate, readable genre buckets.It's wonderful that this collection of studies (lessons) is permeated with humor and wittyness.This dynamism is manifested through layers of misalignment, discontinuity, and contradiction.Between pre-written texts and sometimes sloppily spoken, trailing recordings, seemingly utterly abstract and almost snappy moments of aural expression (insect chirps here, muted trumpets there). between text and synthesis.By bringing these discrepancies to the surface rather than hiding them, the work finds a fulcrum of piston movement that not only easily pushes us from one module to the next, but also creates a strange artificiality in the act of listening itself. Shining a light on sex and stubbornness inseparable from the world.The work leaks out, but this maintains and enhances rather than cuts off its primal roots.By being organically drawn into this pedagogical process, this is a natural invitation that is welcomed, not simply commanded, but laser-focused on the qualities and interactions of the material at hand. .The moments when everything comes together, when patterns and gestures that were once strangely connected become familiar, even catchy, precede moments when everything falls apart and meaning disappears.In the process, we become active, creating a new, unheard of language made up of fragments of the old and the familiar.This newness, like our own transformation, is entirely private.But as a result, the joy and intensity of the work disappeared.And the world begins to hum and tremble at the newly discovered possibilities of change. " +++ Below are the names of each song.

An album jointly produced by two experimental musicians, Mark Fell from England and Will Guthrie from Australia.Below is an explanation by the label. "Will Guthrie's album "Nist Nah" (released on Oren Ambarchi's label Black Truffle), which came to fruition during his residency in Indonesia, has made a further leap forward, and Mark Fell explores the possibilities of polyrhythms in gamelan and Karnataka music from South India. "Infordings" was completed while talking to.Recently, Mark has been composing and collaborating a lot with acoustic instruments, but the fluid, life-like, undulating sequences that make full use of MAX/MSP have evolved further, and Will's drums/percussion that intertwine with them are raw and electronic sounds. However, they blended so well that it was hard to tell which one was making the sound.Oren Ambarchi, Mark Fell, Will Guthrie,...

The latest batch 2023 of Kirigirisu Recordings, a label presided over by Tokyo-based experimental musician Broken Shoulder, has arrived in June 6.This work is the debut CDr released by Kobe ambient duo Minor House in a limited edition of 2 copies.Includes 40 impromptu ambient folk songs with keyboards and guitars recorded at various locations in Kanazawa. Comes with DL code.Below is a commentary by Asuna Arashi. "After living in Tokyo for 5 years, I moved to Kanazawa. After moving, I was often invited to the events of the label Sukima Industries in Kansai, and the venue in Kobe was often used as a live venue. It was SPACE EAUUU.At the time, the owner of the space often performed with a group called Minor House, and although it was a simple duo of keyboard and electric guitar, it was an adult performance that knew how to choose sounds and where to listen. It was like a veteran carpenter wielding a plane with a delicate hand, sharp but idyllic, as if they were sharpening it while drinking tea on the porch of the sound house they wanted to build. There is also one side: the eccentric character and self-consciousness that are common among musicians in the Kansai region, the live performances are frank and indifferent, and the content of the performance itself tends to be pulled by the human relationships and images of the music scene. (This kind of improvisation is not a performance.) (It may have been a problem that I talked too much about my love for B-grade kung fu movies during the improvisation.) For a while. As a result, I was invited to participate in their projects, and I even planned a Minor House concert in Kanazawa. I thought it would be a good idea to record their outdoor performances on the streets of Kanazawa, using a karaoke tape deck I found on their days off, starting in the deserted temple precincts, then going underground to Kanazawa Station and parks. , We played around the garden of the museum, and at night we played in various places such as the fish market and the streets after the shutters were down, and finally we played and recorded at the ruins of Kanazawa Castle.Although it was an outdoor recording, we used two keyboards and guitars. was recorded directly with line input, so the sounds of the surrounding field recordings were not captured.However, the performance itself was greatly influenced by the surroundings, and this album was produced as a record of that.However, after that, It's been a long time since Minor House's activities stagnated due to various circumstances, and I myself have been busy with overseas tours, etc. However, this time, with the release of an album from kirigirisu recordings, the shadow of that shadow has finally come to an end. The building will see the light of day, and we may see them in action again. " Click here for labels and other works /// Click here to...

"A memorable first solo album by Noah Ophoven-Baldwin, a multi-instrumentalist living in Minneapolis, USA and a member of the music group "Realtree". This work has the theme of "time/clock", and Baldwin plays the metronome. Combining cyclical sounds with acoustic instruments, I tried to traverse performance and conceptual sound art.The cornet and harmonium create organic textures (Mitch Stahlmann joins the flute on the second track), while the metronome repeats sharp, short notes like driving stakes.The instrumental sounds that sound like they were played in a relaxed room and the sharp metronome sounds seem to be in contrast, and the careful arrangement of the field-recorded sounds creates a wonderfully beautiful unity. ing.

Daisuke Suzuki from Japan and Andrew Chalk from the UK, two experimental musicians, collaborated on a CD released from Siren in May 2. This is a sound drone work that was made in 2023 but remained buried.Below is an explanation by the label. "Collaboration does not require sharing everything or doing everything together as a team. If your words and sounds inspire someone to take on new challenges or possibilities. You can call it a collaboration if you open the door to the .The sound you personally record will always reveal who you really are, and the sound will always say more than words. 'Drifting' is the first collaboration between Andrew Chalk and Daisuke Suzuki, and has remained in obscurity since the two made a personal recording in 5. In early 1996, Daisuke Suzuki sent Andrew Chalk his DAT tapes, which included unedited fragmentary recordings of him playing junk in the garden.These fragmented recordings inspired Andrew to mix live directly onto his cassette recorder with intuition and an old-fashioned creative vision. "Drifting" is an old-fashioned lo-fi recording, but it's a perfect blend of special atmospheres and textures that the duo create. 'Drifting' was both the prelude to their long-running collaboration and the beginning of a shift in Andrew's approach to music.Remastered by engineering maestro Denis Blackham to breathe new life into the work.

A CD released in May 2023 by Hania Rani, a neo-classical artist from Warsaw, Poland.Includes 5 neo-classical songs produced in a mountain hut in Switzerland in the middle of winter for the documentary film of Alberto Giacometti.Comes with a photo booklet.Below is a commentary by the author himself. "When I was asked to compose the soundtrack for a film about the Giacometti family, I had no hesitation. Alberto Giacometti is a Swiss artist, mainly a painter and sculptor, who has been working for a long time. was one of my favorite artists, and his unique style, aesthetics, and creative process still fascinate me in many ways, so I wanted to delve deeper into his world. , it was an unmissable opportunity for me to get to know him as well as his family.How far this "Jesus" has taken me, not only on a mental and creative level, but also on a physical level. I could never have imagined that they would.Thanks to Susanna Fantun, the director of the documentary, and thanks to some good luck and some additional questions, I spent a few months exploring the place where Giacometti was born and called home even though he didn't live there. I decided to move to the mountains of Switzerland, not far fromSusanna told me about a place near her hometown where she could rent a studio and use it for other projects, not just the soundtrack.It was midwinter that day, and the area was covered with ice and snow.The residence house is located in a valley surrounded by high mountains, and the sun didn't come up very long during the day in winter.I remember her telling me about it and adding, "Not everyone is sick over there, but I want you to be."I did so.Almost detached from reality, away from everything that normally draws my attention, the city, the entertainment, the people in a hurry, I am able to concentrate completely on the music and the soundtrack, spending most of my day with my thoughts. I had enough space to spend time, experiment and be free in the creative process.This soundtrack would probably be very different had it been written where I live.I took this opportunity to go in the opposite direction, to explore something new, both as a composer and as a human being.The album "About Giacometti" contains excerpts of representative songs and songs in which the voice itself has become stronger from the soundtrack.Based on improvisational melodies, simple harmonies, structures and stillness, the work is reminiscent of her debut album Esja, written and recorded in the cold of Iceland.Mentally and physically, these elements led me to my primary instrument, the piano, and I sought to redefine it with the language of the space I was working in.Space is usually the key element that gives me answers about the layout and character of a project.Space seems to come first, and music is the invisible force that transforms the angels.As Alberto Giacometti wrote in a letter, living surrounded by mountains changes your perspective and your understanding of scale.Things that are far away, like mountains, feel closer, and things that aren't far away, like people, seem smaller from a distance.Touching the top of a mountain with your fingers feels like touching the tip of your nose.The snow protects the whole from noise, and each sound lands softly on the ground, accompanied by immeasurable spatial resonance.Each scratch and whisper becomes an autonomous entity, opening the door to a world of ghosts and lost children.At first glance, it is easy to think that nothing is moving, that nothing has changed, that time has stopped.However, ice and snow reveal the passage of time, and the frozen waterways morph into raging streams of water day by day, hour by hour, second by second.It melts and disappears, white powder and noise covering the surface, clearing the space.It's invisible to overnight travelers, but it's a painfully real process for those staying longer.Time flows with new waves of sound flowing down the river, reminding us that we are part of an endlessly repeating cycle.I left this valley with the first breath of spring.

Jean Noël Rebilly from France and Andrew Chalk from the UK, two ambient writers, collaborated on a CD released in April 2 from the French experimental label An'archives with a limited edition of 2023 copies.Contains 4 ambient-ambient drone songs by clarinet and strings.It is a handmade gate fold specification.Below is an explanation by Jon Dale. Jean Noël Rebilly and Andrew Chalk pay homage to the late French writer and sculptor Cécile Lance.Lance is best known as an interpreter and engraver for the surrealist Hans Bellmer, but also worked with Leonor Fini and briefly with Salvador Dali.Her most powerful and enduring work in Reims is her collaboration with her husband, writer-artist Fred Deux (her collaborative work was signed "cf deux"), or her Made by myself.In Lance's later works, such as the "L'Elan Vitale" suite and the "Histoires Naturelles" series, destroyed and vanished landscapes, swirling abstractions, sculptures trembling with an unknown brilliance, and highly intricate etchings evoke a speed of intimacy and exultation. We see it allude to and then open up into a painful void. Tsilla's music is likewise a gentle weave of emotional complexity, carved with simple tools of craftsmanship.Like Lance, Rebilly and Chalk express the transformation of their base materials.For Lance, the natural order was "made more sinuous and wondrous by the round flow of her chisel," Kate McCrickard once remarked. For Rebilly and Chalk, these seven pieces, placed under the shadow of a great artist, harbor their suppleness and draw out the eternal flow of tone. ----------------------------------...
