[AREAZT011] MIND/MATTER - Staring at the Void

[AREAZV005] Uncanny Valleys (Vol.IV)

Plaster and Rivet join forces to offer the first track of Uncanny Valleys (Vol.III)

“Uncanny Valleys” compilation series is related to the theory introduced by japanese robotitian Mori Masahiro back in 1970, referring to the paradoxical perception of the existing similarities between robots and human beings.

This third opus focuses on Modern sonics, through a variety of genres and interpretations of these aesthetics. While the volume opens with a aerial and breaked track, it unfolds with ritual and 'techno' blending, before stepping into deconstructed territories with heavy vocal and digital manipulations. Finally, the final contributions open up sharply designed sounds and noisy atmospheres, which maintain the link within the compilation series.

Taking a look at music that is influenced by a genre - Industrial-, created in the times where the concept of Uncanny Valleys was created, helps us to grasp the links between the theory and art, both inspired by the development of technologies and its influences on both personal and societal aspects.

Franck Vigroux - Xtotal [Area Z]

Premiere: Area Z presenta la serie recopilatoria “Uncanny Valleys” vol III.

 Esta tercera obra se centra en la sónica moderna, a través de una variedad de géneros e interpretaciones de estas estéticas.  Mientras que el volumen se abre con una pista aérea y rota, se desarrolla con una mezcla ritual y 'techno', antes de adentrarse en territorios deconstruidos con fuertes manipulaciones vocales y digitales.  Finalmente, las aportaciones finales abren sonidos de diseño nítido y atmósferas ruidosas, que mantienen el vínculo dentro de la serie recopilatoria.

 Una mirada a la música que está influenciada por un género - Industrial-, creado en la época en que se creó el concepto de Uncanny Valleys, nos ayuda a captar los vínculos entre la teoría y el arte, ambos inspirados en el desarrollo de las tecnologías y sus influencias.  en aspectos tanto personales como sociales.

[AREAZT011] Mind/Matter - Staring at the Void 

We are extremely happy to announce our new release by french, Paris-based producer Mind / Matter.

Additionally, the release features 3 banging remixes from Elements Of Joy (UVB), Randolph & Mortimer and our homie Arabian Panther.

Premiere: “Uncanny Valleys” de la serie recopilatoria AREA Z y está relacionado con la teoría introducida por el robotista japonés Mori Masahiro en 1970, refiriéndose a la percepción paradójica de las similitudes existentes entre un robot y los seres humanos.

Representado gráficamente en el centro de la obra de arte como el momento en que la curva pasa por debajo del eje horizontal, Sven incorporó elementos humanos y no humanos con la técnica del collage, difuminando la línea donde los humanos y los robots difieren.

Esta primera obra está hecha de pistas Techno-EBM que abarcan desde la identidad EBM de la vieja escuela hasta un enfoque más contemporáneo de la música corporal.

During his career Ah Cama-Sotz has carved a niche for himself as one of the darkest industrial acts around. His music is steeped in a multitude of mythology, occultism and bloody history, which lend a context and significance to the individual works that is noticeably absent from a lot of contemporary industrial / noise music. The past 26 years (1993 - present) have seen the Ah Cama-Sotz sound progress from cold, minimalist electronics through to dark ambient soundscapes and pounding techno floor-fillers.

Premiere: La serie recopilatoria “Uncanny Valleys” está relacionada con la teoría introducida por el robotista japonés Mori Masahiro en 1970, refiriéndose a la percepción paradójica de las similitudes existentes entre robots y seres humanos.

Esta segunda obra se centra en la música "industrial" a través de una variedad de géneros e interpretaciones de la estética de los mismos. Abriéndose con una selección de cuatro infundidas en la pista, cortada con una porción de power ambient, la compilación evoluciona hacia una forma más cruda, con noise industrial que abarca intenciones nihilistas o románticas.

Echar un vistazo a la música que está influenciada por un género, creada en los tiempos en que se creó el concepto, nos ayuda a comprender los vínculos entre la teoría y la música, ambos inspirados por el desarrollo de las tecnologías y sus influencias tanto en los aspectos personales como sociales.

Somaticae - Finspy

For our 10th release, we are very stoked to welcome Italian artist Chris Shape. 

Chris Shape is Cristian Camporesi, a producer, live performer and sound designer for over 25 years. He starts his career in some local new-wave electro bands, but his debut came in the early '90s, when the techno's wave broke in Riccione and the pyramid of Cocoricò (the biggest italian techno club) has spread it everywhere. He later on became a member of the emblematic electro duo « Franz & Shape ». 

Originally released through Unknown Pleasure Records, this dense electro-techno album features collaborations with our hometown's Blind Delon, as well as HIV+, IV Horsemen, Black Asteroids and Dave Inox. 

We’ve extended the album with two original tracks by Chris Shape, Orac and Scia, as well as remixes by Qual, Chainbreakers and OTHR.
