Taken from the forthcoming "Sea Songs" single by ex-Indirect band member Hennadii Boichenko. Pre-order 7" vinyl record.

This is the 3rd appearance of Odesa-based Hennadii Boichenko (ex-Indirect) on Muscut, after his contribution as a part of the Indirect band (Ab Pharmacy / Waltz - 2014, Ode To The Sea - 2016 with Nikolaienko). 7” single, “Sea Songs,” - is a record mixed and tape mastered by Dmytro Nikolaienko. This is also the first episode of a newly started series of analog production chain releases with master reel tape transfer to lathe cut (the label has only been sending digital master files to the record plant before that). This year, Muscut twists from electronic music to instrumental and eclectic ones with more similar releases in the queue - Cukor Bila Smert's recordings from 1990-1993, Nikolaienko's "Meta" (exploration of metallophone on tape loopings), Fleischesmarkt's - disbanded Odesan punk/kraut band from the late 2000s.

Hennadii Boichenko - Detouch (Muscut 32)

Having first captured our attention with Monolithic Nuance (2018) for Longform Editions, Megan Mitchell’s Cruel Diagonals has continued to impress with each new work. With Fractured Whole, she set herself the task of producing an album using nothing but her voice as raw material. While she deserves recognition as a gifted vocalist, she deserves at least as much praise for her production work, alchemically transmuting her voice into a wide range of instruments and textures.  In this episode, she discusses the production challenges posed by Fractured Whole, her background in musical theatre, her work with the feminist archive ⁠Many Many Women⁠, and much more.

@finforce + @saturatedcolor = Believe <3

Трек відображає спільні переживання про світле майбутнє, натхнення та віру. В комбінації техно, брейкбіту та ейсіду. Рішучі барабани разом з глибиною басу, просторові елементи, які свідчять про свободу, а ейсид є невід'ємним атрибутом клубної сцени, який об'єднує наше бачення танцювальної музики. Трек доступний для скачування безплатно на Bandcamp: https://finforce.bandcamp.com/track/believe

neue medecina/Semi Al-Zubi an artist based in Berlin. Organizer of a series of parties in Kropyvnytskyi "trip report", a project that revived the electronic scene of a small town. 
neue medecina/Semi Al-Zubi about his livecast:
"After a series of parties, "be.love" which was quite famous in narrow circles, a few years later, our project with friends, from the first party at the big bread factory, fell into the heart of many lovers of electronic music. I prefer a slow industrial sound, but at the same time, it is somewhat melodic. The story of the live performance has no deep meaning, but still, in the conditions in which it was written, it carries a certain message. The recording includes tracks written during a trip to Copenhagen with a friend of mine to do some graffiti there, and under the influence of this 5-day lifestyle, a few tracks were born. You can also hear tracks from my latest album, "Trial Vision", which was written during synthesizer sessions on a ship."

neue medecina/Semi Al-Zubi - артист, що мешкає в Берліні. Організатор серії вечірок у Кропивницькому "Trip report", проекту, який відродив електронну сцену невеликого міста.
neue medecina/Семі Аль-Зубі про свій лайвкаст:
"Після серії вечірок "be.love", які були досить відомими у вузьких колах, через кілька років наш з друзями проект, з першої вечірки на великому хлібозаводі, припав до душі багатьом поціновувачам електронної музики. Я віддаю перевагу повільному індустріальному звучанню, але в той же час воно дещо мелодійне. Історія живого виступу не має глибокого сенсу, але все ж, в умовах, в яких вона була написана, вона несе певний меседж. До запису увійшли треки, написані під час поїздки до Копенгагена з моїм другом, щоб намалювати там графіті, і під впливом цього 5-денного способу життя народилося кілька треків. Ви також можете почути треки з мого останнього альбому "Trial Vision", який був написаний під час синтезаторних сесій на кораблі".

Liky Pid Nohamy: Andrii Kunin @ 20ft Radio - 15/03/2024

У сиву давнину, найтаємнішими закутками гуцульщини блукали мольфари – ворожбити, що бачили майбутнє та зналися на травах.  Вони залишили нам невидимий надприродній спадок – енергію, прагнення до духовного, позаматеріального.

Data Molfar стане вашим провідником до цих знань. У своєму новому міксі він шукає відповіді на фундаментальні питання про світ і місце людини у ньому. Ми публікуємо запис, у якому сучасний мольфар чаклує у кіберпосторі, де музика - це інструмент, необхідний для проведення ритуалу.

Профіль артиста: @datamolfar

In ancient times, molfars, fortune tellers who could see the future and knew about herbs, roamed the most secret corners of the Hutsul region.  They left us an invisible supernatural heritage - energy, the desire for the spiritual, the non-material.

Data Molfar will be your guide to this knowledge. In his new mix, he is looking for answers to fundamental questions about the world and the place of man in it. We are publishing a recording in which a modern molfar conjures in cyberspace, where music is an instrument necessary for the ritual.

tofudj - recollections

Since 2012, A Closer Listen has claimed a specialized niche in the music industry: instrumental album reviews!  By concentrating on this above all else (singles, videos, concerts, interviews, lyric albums, announcements), we’ve built a healthy fanbase and a strong reputation.

If music is recorded and nobody listens, does it still make a sound?
