A cassette released in July 2023 by Lucie Vítková, an experimental musician from the Czech Republic who lives in New York, USA, from the Slovakian experimental/all-genre label Mappa.Includes 7 noise drone tracks recorded in caves and ruined churches. Comes with DL code. "In 4, New York-based composer and improviser Lucie Vítková recorded in a cave in the Czech Republic and an abandoned Gothic church in Slovakia. Their album Cave Acoustics is , combining a fascinating exploration of the physicality and acoustics of these unique places with deeply personal themes of family heritage and roots.Lucie is a vipstek consisting of underground tunnels and ex-Soviet bunkers. Performed with her sisters in a cave, this choreography-based piece creates a crescendo of metallic sounds as the trio move through space, beginning with the clanging of cans and coins, then singing from deep within the shadows. Bearing in mind that the brothers and sisters have never played together, their enthusiastic movements feel all the more special, and there is a non-verbal bond between them. Clearly, Lucie doesn't shy away from the experience of being at full physical exertion: they climb steep hills, cross rivers, and carry heavy props to reach the inaccessible Yachimika Caverns. A Fitzcarraldo-esque journey, Hair Score is an attempt to process the death of a brother's mother through a tranquil and slightly disturbing rocking ritual, while waves of lamentation and the sound of emergency sirens are a mourning mouth. After cavernous acoustics, Stones by American experimental classical composer Christian Woolf, with its textured sounds and fast, relentless rhythms, reveals the composer's "what's that?" Listening to the sound of stones of different sizes being slammed together in accordance with the instructions, it feels more real. Inside the Ritual was a 'transformation' experience for Lucie as she felt her body merge with the forests and hills of Slovakia. At 2018 minutes, the song is hypnotic, like hearing cowbells and bugs chirping on a hot summer evening.The situation becomes even stranger when the metallic notes are punctuated by Lu Lucie's voice and the reedy tones of the Japanese hichiriki.Calm and contemplative, yet energetic and moving, the album reflects Lucie's reunion with these rare and unheard environments and the people and places that have shaped them.

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.

Comes with DL code.It is out of print.I also recommend the previous work.Below is a commentary by Nick Klein, president of Psychic Liberation. "The first time I saw Patrick Gallagher perform was in a North Carolina afternoon in 2 at a venue named 'The Nightlight.' His dual improvisational concrete style hung in an interesting juxtaposition with the daylight shining down on him from the skylight above. Revisiting the use of a laptop computer as part of a live performance, honing frequencies and using them to compose in a masterful way, moments of high and low tones are a physically enveloping experience. , which transformed my ear and stomach's accustomed response to hertz delivered in relation to the lack of standard auditory intelligibility commonly encountered while touring America's DIY networks around that time. In order to understand the importance of frequency allocation in American personal amplifier systems, especially within the framework of America's "underground" and "experimental" infrastructure, a kind of tone spectrum must be considered. You need to understand a set of terms around expectations.Totality of the frequency spectrum is not always fully realized due to many mitigating situations.The legal issues of zoning, budgets, basic levels of access to technical information, and how this is achieved all plateau within this social framework for sound in America. become.In America, the loosely defined "counterculture...

Comes with DL code.Mastered by Giuseppe Ielashi.Below is a commentary by the author himself. "This release is all about engaging with your actions in the present moment. These two recordings are improvisations with synthesizers and field recordings. They were made at my home in Glasgow, at the time. I was unable to see or play the music with others, and it felt strange to perform these works without others to inspire me to guide the sounds. It was hard to decide what to choose, what to keep, and what to leave out, so I decided to record all the songs, the good and the bad. The two pieces were made over the course of two or three days and started with similar vocal compositions, the results are very different, and in that moment they took me to different places. When I listen back to the recording of , I feel a range of emotions, from excitement to embarrassment.As time passed, I came to the conclusion that the recording was an attempt to express it.The recording is a kind of loss that makes me grow. I hope that you will be fascinated by these works and somehow ignite your thoughts, feelings and emotions." Labels and other works here /// Click here to see more Calling Cards. ..

This is the debut record released by Italian experimental musicians Gianluca Ceccarini and Alessandro Ciccarelli duo Damāvand in June 2023 from the Italian experimental label Die Schachtel.Includes 6 deep-listening collage drone tracks inspired by Soviet film director Sergei Parajanov's masterpiece "The Color of the Pomegranate". It is a 6g weight board.Below is an explanation by the label. "The film is a tribute to the Armenian poet Sayat Nova and was inspired by Sergei Parajanov's cult film The Color of the Pomegranate (Nřan guynə, 180, USSR) about his life. This feature film, which depicts the life of a 1968th-century poet through a series of episodes, from his childhood in the royal court to his retirement and death in the monastery of Hagpat, is as static as a painting. Rather than tell, he shows, evokes, suggests through metaphors and analogies, surrealist flair, dreamscapes and liturgical poses, ranging from ambient to noise to references to Middle Eastern musical traditions. Inspired by the dreamy imagery contained in the film, Gianluca Ceccarini and Alessandro Ciccarelli work on analog synths, drones and amplified general Generative music, audio samples from movies, and acoustic instruments such as tar, trombone, and cornet, which are string instruments originating in Persia, are alternately played without fixed roles. Two songs on the album contain Sayat Nova poems read in Persian by Nahid Rezashateli, whose sound material is revealed episodicly and directed by Parajanov in the film. Evoking visual allusions, 'As long as you come to my garden' is intended to be an imaginative journey into an archaic time of distant space and amorphousness.The iconic cover of the series is a deep black cardboard with silver silkscreen, featuring a photograph (by the author) of a mysterious semi-circular structure as the main image, As long as you come.. .

This is a record released in June 2023 on the Portuguese jungle label Discrepant by Kink Gong, a psychedelic jungle writer from Berlin, Germany who has released on Sublime Frequencies in the past.This work is based on materials collected during a stay in a Hadza village in northern Tanzania.Includes 6 psychedelic collage strange beats. DL link included.Below is a commentary by the author himself. "I've been in Tanzania for over 8 years now, but most of my so-called remixes started in Tanzania and were unfinished and retouched in Vienna, Paris, Shanghai, Kunming, Dali and Vientiane. 20 years later, I searched through my files in Tanzania, rediscovered the unfinished track and decided to refresh it with this new record.At the beginning of the 20th century I was in good health to survive with the Hadza, the last Bushmen of northern Tanzania. James Stephenson in New York invited me to join the Hadza in 20. The only instrument I recorded with the Hadza a lot was the marimba. I bought a variety of marimbas in Arusha and brought them back to Europe.Some of the tracks are either original recordings or I played the marimba and processed it electronically.The original recordings are Nights with the Hadza. Related to the bonfire scene, it also includes three different festivals: Epeme Men was recorded on a moonless night in Mangora, the Hadza camp, in total darkness, with men and women singing and dancing. "Irawk Drum Under the Rain" is a multi-ethnic gathering held at the Franciscan Spanish Catholic Mission in the daytime, and recorded dancing and singing while IRAWK's big (and wet) drums were played in heavy rain. (Northern Tanzania) "Makonde Island" was recorded in southern Tanzania, on the border with Mozambique, where Makonde fishermen off the coast of Mtwara made sounds by banging plastic containers, getting drunk and not drunk.

Nicholas Bussmann, a cellist from Berlin, Germany, and Werner Dafeldecker, a contrabass player from Vienna, Austria, collaborated on a limited edition record of 2023 copies released in March 3 from Luxembourg's experimental/contemporary label NI VU NI CONNU.Includes 300 hardcore minimal sound drone songs with no melodies.Comes with insert and DL code.Below is a commentary by New Zealand multi-instrumentalist Dean M. Roberts. "The lockdown in early 2 brought silence to Berlin. "It was like the early '2020s in East Berlin," recalls Nicholas Bussmann, as he grew up and embraced social change and uncertainty. A place of experience, perhaps with many empty and quiet spaces pervasive.In a duo with long-time partner Werner Dafeldecker, the two instrumentalists explore the nature of their respective instruments, receiving timely and thoughtful instruction, to express their sound without intervention or overt display of virtuosity. can hearPablo Casals famously instructed his students to ``Put air around the instrument.''The instrument is stripped bare of its obligation to produce 'music'.The creaky sound recalls the atmosphere of tragedy that prevails in Fellini's Orchestral Rehearsal (90).As the boundaries between sound and society become blurred and the medium of music becomes a metaphor for the conundrum of composition and performance, psychodrama unfolds through scenarios of despair and questions of purpose.When the dust of music piles up, all that remains are surface sounds, scratches, creaks, scratches. Freed from the obligation to support established narratives and politics, the two performers engage in a tactile relearning of sound while teaching each other new airs.For centuries, imagine violoncellos and double basses enduring physical strain and mental stress, being taken to remote locations to perform historic grand symphonies or frantic jazz performances. please.And in 2, put on indefinite hiatus due to a global pandemic, they will be taken out of their cases like sleeping giants, dusted and groomed by their keepers.In recent years, Dafeldecker and Bussmann have made a name for themselves with work that critically and inquisitively examines the medium of music and, to some extent, concerns about the meaning and purpose of the sound-making process - research as a practice, a language in itself. It is practice as research that becomes.This project is a consortium that aims to scratch the fringes of formal music by questioning the limits of classical instrumentation and ensembles and experimenting with extended techniques. In recent years, Bussmann has embarked on participatory vocal ensemble performance works, such as News Trilogy/Songs of Revolution in an AI Environment.The reason for this is that improvisational music is biased towards what he calls "a kind of sonic dress code", and he began to question it. As Bussmann says, algorithms can provide a framework for musicians from very different backgrounds to make music together.Other algorithm-based works include performances and installations for a robot piano and the duo Kapital...

Experimental musician Noah Ophoven-Baldwin from Minneapolis, USA released this CD in June 2023 from Tokyo's experimental label zappak.Includes 6 improvisational songs with acoustic instruments and noises.Below is an explanation by the label. "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.

"The works contained here are the result of my research on database-driven reconstructions based on sound analysis. All sound sources were created using a graphical computer system called the UPIC system (Iannis Xenakis). , where the user draws shapes, waveforms, and modulations on a "page" to form a composed or composed sound.This material was recorded between September 4 and March 2006 at the CCMIX laboratory in Paris.These recordings use SNDArchive (github.com/bjarnig/SNDArchive), a newly developed system that can reconstruct and combine sonic parts based on different dimensions discovered by an offline analysis process.

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.

Introducing Jan Jelinek's soundtrack for visual software "SEASCAPE - polyptych". "SEASCAPE - polyptych" is based on the image and sound sources of "Moby Dick". Ahab's voice takes center stage in Jan Jelinek's soundtrack, while Holden tackles the manipulation of film sequences.The dynamic volume and tone of the Captain's speech control a synthesizer system that transforms Ahab's voice into ten abstract soundscapes.In this work, the voice gives impulse and controls things, but what we hear is not the sound of the spoken word itself.Occasionally, only fragments of speech are heard in which syllables and sounds are recognizable.Instead, we hear compositions made up of hiss, soundscapes and bursts of sound.The atmosphere is dark and ominous.However, each song has a clear sonic structure and follows an easy-to-understand dramatic structure.This music is abstract but never overwhelming.On the contrary, SEASCAPE -...
