TR161 - Rob Lye - 'Brace'

ANE introduces Bristol based newcomer Rob Winstone, who enters the fold with 6 electroacoustic vignettes awash with frosty crackle and plaintive timbres in the form of ‘UG 18-21’. A collection born through a process of organising old hard drives, discarded tapes, and compositions. Unresolved abstractions and memories flicker through the haze of Winstone’s work which conjures a distinctly British gloom. 

Concrete smears of noise and grit are prominent throughout, at first as just a whisper on opener ‘Untitled Ghost 1’ but the cracks begin to show at an alarming pace. ‘Untitled Ghost 6’ enters with a malleable hiss giving presence to Winstone’s reflections. ‘Flowers Of Decay’ has a corrupted, hymnal quality whilst “Untitled Ghost 3’ haunts searingly with piercing sonic manipulation. A hypnagogic piano riff flutters along another cold, fizzing noise bed on ‘Untitled Ghost 7’ offering a hopeful potential until the mist descends on the closing track. ‘My Eyes Are Wide Open And I Will Never Sleep Again’ dials up the power ambient to a grand scale to see out the collection in a string-laden crescendo.

From yolabmi's Before Your Past Lives, out on Nov.25 on tape and digital:
https://muzaneditions.bandcamp.com/album/before-your-past-lives

"A longtime friend of Muzan, yolabmi's Before Your Past Lives pulls the listener into prehistory (or perhaps pre-existence) with a suite of tracks structured around gently vibrating synths, crisp field recordings, and expertly manipulated samples that fizz and crackle and whirr in rich stereo. Secure your headphones, close your eyes, and think back to before there was a before."

Manja Ristic / Toni Dimitrov - Dystopian 001

1. Manja Ristic - Nothing Has To Happen, Fortress Europe
2. Toni Dimitrov - Against Civilization

🏴 'Dystopian 001' is split release between the sound artists Manja Ristić and Toni Dimitrov, and it is part of the new 'Dystopian series', showcasing a more abstract, darker, obscure and politically infused side of the sound of élan vital artist roster. Inspired by everyday life in the last several years living in realized dystopian visions and darkest predictions, the sound on this series will be the soundtrack for our daily dystopian reality. We are all aware that the future of our civilization is not bright, but that doesn't mean we are not living in an exciting epoch.

🏳️ Part one brings two longer pieces, presenting the dark side of the mystical long form experimentations by the Serbian violin and field recordings diva Manja Ristić and the latest field recordings experiments of the sound art naturalist Toni Dimitrov. Through this joint release the artists are trying to explore the potential for change of the society, resulting in a mature, expressive and complex album.

Louise Le Du & Michael Speers Field Recording Excerpts

Eventless Plot, Schemata

Kino - Jeden

American avant-electronic musician and essayist Bret Schneider holds no institutional allegiance to one artistic medium. His background encompasses a wide range of work experiences and reveals a man who is connected to the world around him in complex, alienated ways. His thoughts on music and philosophy are intertwined into a billowing exposition. But when exploring the dark recesses of his more aural works, there is an inherent flexibility. Phasing percussive elements and frayed droning lines all lead to a perpetually shifting feeling for an aural uncanny. As fractured as his music can be, there is a dim spark of rumination that threads through his synthetic machinations.

On his latest release, “Xilinx,” Schneider taps into a primordial electronic noise—the kind that rests just on your periphery, unwinding itself to reveal myriad sordid circuits and disjointed projections. These tracks maintain a wired mania, expressing an unsettling undercurrent of ragged repetition and warbling drones. There’s an unexpected elasticity to Schneider’s cabled rhythms, and they often shift across several temporal lines before turning inward, struggling to illuminate an intimate dissonance or imagine a multi-chambered core. Displaying a raw and unusually concise knowledge of how these sounds might fit together, “Xilinx” is part zoetrope, part post-industrial dreamscape. It is an inquiry into the idea of internal movement, a contorted experiment in musical patterning, and an experiment in self-replication.
