Sewer Goddess - Nature Of The Black Liquid

Сonsecration

Terry Riley - démo

New full length album by France’s most singular contemporary composer. Reflecting on ancient culture’s use and reverence for emblematic monuments which most often represent myths and stories, the album’s narrative has been infused with such symbolic and depicts an envisioned mythology, unfolding through it’s 10 aural pieces. Franck Vigroux‘s music is unique and comprised of tectonic tension, pulsating rhythms and abrasive analog textures like few can produce. Applying his own calculated personal signature in his sonic explorations his distinctiveness comes not only by his unique approach to sound but also by his incorporation of new media practices and performing arts into his A/V work.
Mastering by Denis Blackham.

Ecker & Meulyzer “Carbon” (SUB033)

Digital & CD: https://eckermeulyzer.bandcamp.com/album/carbon

Koenraad Ecker and Frederik Meulyzer make their Subtext debut with Carbon. 

Based on field recordings made at Norway’s Svalbard Global Seed Vault, a secure seed bank located on the island of Spitsbergen, Carbon grapples with the many contradictions that lie at the heart of our shift into the capitalocene. The project began in 2017, when Ecker and Meulyzer scored the performance “Frozen Songs,” a commission by Zero Visibility Dance Company led by Ina Christel Johannesen.

The Svalbard Global Seed Vault was conceived of as an effort to preserve copies of seeds from key crop varieties, ensuring their persistence in the event of large-scale crises. Yet the area is warming faster than anywhere else on earth, causing the permafrost to melt and putting the seed vault at risk. 

Across from the Seed Vault lie the decrepit remnants of Svalbard’s mining activities of the early 20th century; Carbon wrestles with the incongruities nestled in the town’s landscape. Reflecting on dissonances of stasis and change, closeness and distance, enclosure and expanse, as well as cynicism and hope, Ecker and Meulyzer consider the urgency of our situation while trying to sidestep all-too popular depictions of dystopia. In Ecker’s own words, “we don’t have the luxury to afford that kind of pessimism.” 

From close, supple sounds to cold, brutal sonics, Carbon meditates on the many challenging questions and contradictions raised by the Seed Vault and its surroundings—a landscape that embodies and makes visible the many intertwined phenomena that shape our current predicament.

Ecker and Meulyzer, formerly known as Stray Dogs, have released works such as Wasteland, recorded in deconsecrated church in Antwerp, and Kalkar, recorded in the cooling tower of a former power station in Germany. 

Koenraad Ecker works in the fields of electro-acoustic music, field recording, radio plays, stage performance and text. Together with Andrea Taeggi, he is part of the Opal Tapes-affiliated duo Lumisokea. His output encompasses studio albums, audiovisual installations, texts, performances, and sound design for film. 

Frederik Meulyzer is a percussionist active in projects including Belgian jazz band Hamster Axis of the One-Click Panther, contemporary music and theatre company Post uit Hessdalen, and experimental psych-krautrock band Slumberland.

The ecological impact of the production of this record will be compensated through a carbon offsetting program .

Entropic Shores

We dont really have many "songs" or even permanent sketches that we flesh out live. Most gigs its all off the cuff. so its nice and odd for us to present an actual song with a title that we kind of play the same notes/riffs when ever w do it. Invented on a freezing night at an outdoor festival a couple of years ago .. warning - potential stoner rock like fuzz bass lines : )

Track note: It can be said that this track just happened, as ordinary events in life happen. I rode the train and was alone in the compartment. Taking advantage of the moment, I pulled out recording devices and captured the rustle of the night road, the waves of oncoming trains, the silence of small stations. Then at home, I played some music: a tambourine and drums, bass, guitar, keys.

The city and the road are two aggregate, almost palindromic, states of the same element, same movement, same stillness, same dream is out of sight. The language of the city sounds like the rustling of trains. The sound of a train is an internal dialogue between cities, stopped in a fast night timelessness.

Premiere:
Zan Heimer - Lack Of Empathy [Roue Records]

Music has the ability to place the listener in a real or imaginary geographical position, or to make him/her participate in a specific situation, or to convey a state of mind. Imaginary situations and realities that can be interpreted differently by each user, although normally it is the author himself who tries to infect the listener with his sound design, with previous work induced by the creativity of the artist. 

Damage Kontrol is Zan Heimer's debut album and a good example of how the artist is not just limited to creating music, but is much more involved with the environment of his work providing it with landscapes, atmospheres and even cinematic aspects, all within the dark and forceful context of industrial techno.

It is precisely Elysium, which is the opening track of this double album, that alludes to this cinematic aspect with an intro worthy of the soundtrack of an epic film in which somber harmonies are interspersed with imposing timpani. Chained To Extinction emerges from the chaos and confusion, hard and abrasive techno of syncopated metrics with a loud beat. Vertigo closes the A-side as Attila and his henchmen did, ending everything that gets in their way, with a disproportionate and marked aggressiveness.

Hell On Earth introduces you first to a story of a mysterious nature, but at the same time it also intersects with several other sensations that can be as distant as well-being and restlessness. Once again, Zan exposes a great ability to literally smash any hint of relaxation with a crushing punch.  Secrecy And Oppression completes the B-side along with Hell On Earth with an energetic and marked track from the first kick, which is the ruling element in this piece. Direct, hard techno with a hesitant atmosphere.

With War Of Rights we already enter the second album, this track stands out for the different perceptions that each listener can acquire and the subsequent disorientation that it can generate, and technically it stands out for the combination of its textures and the mixture of these with the rhythm. Void Of Existence immerses you in a vegetative state in which your mind prepares your body for battle. Constant rhythm with a great progression of the harmonic structures. With The Black Sacrament, Heimer once again shows his more rudimentary and solid charisma with a track that balances the intensity of the percussive part and the acidic elements with the great power provided by the other harmonic clusters.

Lack Of Empathy infiltrates the emotional disorder and soul isolation of the human being, the opacity and the bad vibrations. Perpetual chords with transitory ingredients that emerge and vanish along the panoramic line of the stereo. Nordica is the second cut on the D-side and the last one on this album. Initially, this track is not what it seems, since what happens later is not a mere extension of industrial cadence, since the base itself is enriched with a melodic arpeggio.

Release date: February 24th, 2020.

noxpox - bad flash

Recorded in various undisclosed caves and secret locations within the French Pyrenean landscape, we are now witness to a very unique channelling of forces emanating from these two singular ritual acts. In textual studies, a “Palimpsest” is writing material, such as a parchment or tablet, used one or more times after earlier writings have been erased from it. It can also be regarded as something having usually diverse layers or aspects apparent beneath the surface. The conductive element within these recordings is water, sound sources recorded from cave lakes, streams and rivers are featured through out these recordings, carefully merged with stark, cavernous drone soundscapes and disquieting chants, guiding us to unknown territories as we venture within these singular chambers and places. The whole transpires as an hymn to the power of water, to cleanse and purify, and even destroy all it touches.
