L'Adieu au Jour

Edit taken from Not Knowing CD (Tangent001)
We are pleased to present the first release of our Tangents CD Series from Nicholas Szczepanik entitled Not Knowing. Originally released as an 18 minute piece for the Ante Algo Azul series, Not Knowing has been expanded to a 53 minute masterwork. As each minute of the work unfolds, the music blossoms and the petals unfurl to reveal a constant and evolving beauty. A slow and steady throb lulls the listener into a soft molasses; a spark is ignited, becomes a glimmer, before turning into an all-encompassing radiant glow. Dedicated to Eliane Radigue.

“New Roof EP”
Karen Gwyer
Limited 12" vinyl through No Pain In Pop
Out 17 Feb 2014


Karen Gwyer is a London, UK producer raised in Ann Arbor, Michigan.

Debut album 'Needs Continuum' was released in Feb 2013 through No Pain In Pop. It's a deeply personal homage to classic house and deconstructed psychedelia built on organic cyclical rhythms and tempered synth washes. Dazed and Confused called it "impressively unusual and poignant.. a uniquely dark, brooding and slow-burning masterpiece", FACT Magazine "an intimate and beautiful record", and it was released to acclaim following the birth of her son.

Whereas “Needs Continuum” was a largely intimate record, “New Roof” lead tracks ‘Lay Claim To My Grub’ and ‘Missisissipippi’ are monolithic pieces; more mechanistic and weighty compositions than Gwyer’s previous work. Both vocalless 15 min+ tracks are built from a tough analogue-techno template, with Gwyer’s distinctive impressionistic synthstrokes sitting above the pulsing rhythms. ‘Nail Bars Of The Apocalypse’ is the ambient break between the two, a coo-ing necessity of an interlude. Much like Gwyer herself, it’s borne from a place within listening distance of Detroit, the Midwest noise scene, and NYC’s avant-house heyday.

The “New Roof EP” release comes following a summer ’13 white label remix EP through No Pain In Pop - “Cowboys (For Karen)”, credited to NYC visual artist and producer Torn Hawk (L.I.E.S Records) - and a winter ’13 cassette EP of original productions on UK experimental label Opal Tapes. Karen will play shows across Europe through January and February as part of the Opal Tapes 2014 tour.

"Only the forest withholds the memory of the past. 
As dawn drew near, light shone upon the leaves, 
piercing through the layers of green.

Slowly, the massacre appeared from the fog infested darkness. 
With a fire shimmering in the distance, the scenery was imminent.

Reality took its toll"

Synthwave Diva audio demo by synthwave pioneer Timecop1983. The soundset is available at www.luftrum.com

The Unfinished and Luftrum have teamed to provide the Sound of Summer with their brand new collaboration, Diva Synthwave.

Like the perfect, golden child, born from a union between Jan Hammer and John Carpenter, Synthwave is one of the hottest electronic genres of the moment. Artists such as Mitch Murder and Powerglove have raised its profile, with guys like TimeCop1983 and FM-84 (who have both provided demo tracks for Diva Synthwave) continue to keep it fresh and alluring. Synthwave’s influence can even be heard in the cinematic work of M83, Cliff Martinez and Trent Reznor. 

Diva Synthwave provides 128 patches for U-He’s Diva, glistening with 80s nostalgia and dripping with analogue warmth. Chunky bass, smooth pads, flickering keys and lush leads, with that unmistakable synth cool. Matt and Soren have taken their love for the genre and given it their very own contemporary twist, providing all the sun-kissed retro joy necessary, but with an added touch of their own inimitable imaginations.

If your head is full of thoughts of Amigas, betamaxes and white men doing kung fu; the music of Vangelis and Tangerine Dream; films such as Breakfast Club and Beverly Hills Cop; and if you’re writing synth pop, outrun music, or just want a hint of that retro, analogue magic in your music, then Diva Synthwave is for you.

So, take a sip of your tequila sunrise, roll up your pink jacket sleeves, push the latest tunes into your eight track and drive that Testarossa deep into the heat of the night.

πουθενά [2014]

Quindar

Originally a beautiful instrumental piece by David, entitled "In the Shadows of Zen", I suggested adding a Zen poem by Takijiro Onishi, who sadly is remembered only as "the Father of the Kamikaze".  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Takijir%C5%8D_%C5%8Cnishi  

Many kamikaze pilots wrote their death-song quoting from Ryokan, an eccentric 18th century monk, "Some cherry blossoms are falling.  And the remaining blossoms will fall too".  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ry%C5%8Dkan

Thanks to my long-standing Japanese friend, Nobuko Hamazaki, for her help with translation!

Diana Mavroleon in conversation with Annemarie Borg 12 May 
"Annemarie Borg's work is eclectic in that it traverses both mixed media and the individual/separate forms of music, words, poetry, sounds and the visual arts. As Founder of the ‘Antara Project’ Borg uses art forms as tools to deal with her main concerns: the fundamental changes in social and cultural environments and how these affect the present day and generations to come. “In today's world we have created our own challenge, are we now up to the task of facing it? In this task what is the part Artists can assume?” (AMB). Antara aims to build a louder voice through Art and will result in a compilation album and a day conference/performance later this year. Borg’s ‘live’ shows range from classical repertoire to experimental music with organic sound-scapes, electronica, improvisation, often in collaboration with other musicians...
Resurgence Magazine Dec 2012 Jan 2013: review by Lorna Howarth
