Mixed Emotions

athing - 06 gg

In 2020 the first release in guides, a new publishing initiative set up by outlines owner Pawel "Paide" Dunajko, was released. guides is intended to be a label less burdened by formal requirements but - like outlines - still trying to present the most interesting and innovative music at 160 bpm.
 
The second tape in the guides catalogue is the result of a collaboration with Japanese producer otomoni. The Tokyo-based sound artist owns the Minzoku Tapes label, where his original productions have mainly been released.

otomoni's "super u" tape consists of nine tracks for which Chicago footwork is the starting point. However, the Japanese producer creates his own individual version of this genre, using such compositional techniques as sound design, field recording and musique concrete. otomoni's sound palette is extremely rich and characterised by a multitude of details. The rhythmic layer is non-obvious, driven by a microcosm of sound particles and melodies.
 
The very beginning of the release ("mizurizu") presents before us evocative images of some undiscovered anime world, in which a delicate impressionistic narrative merges in the finale with noise blurring details. "hanoi" relieves this moment of tension with a melodic intro that, after a while, launches into a footwork groove. "kenka" is a sweet miniature with echoes of reggaeton rhythm. Finishing the A side of the cassette "misago" is a futuristic minimal footwork set on an ear-piercing synthetic sound, around which surprising noises are lit up.

In the opening B-side title track "super u" otomoni continues to create his sound world. It's transformed vocal samples, expressive and juicy rhythmics, on the background of which unexpectedly appears the sour sound of Roland's 303. "ooree" takes the listener to a different, but equally surprising corner of otomoni's world full of plasticity and colours. In "amenoi" the listener lands in the middle of a jungle of sounds creating an unreal scaffolding for an alternative reality. From its very beginning "mikudro" fits into the narration started in "amenoi", but it tries to burst this created structure with a vibrating stroboscope of sounds. Seemingly chaotic percussions create a new physics of music. The album's closing "akumu" begins with a vast looped drone, against which ritual simple vocalizations are sung. After a while the drone and the voice are joined by other sounds of a new world coming to life.

otomoni's music has an extraordinary gift for illustrating alternative realities. However, this does not happen with a flourish, pathos or overload of meanings. The sounds he uses are characterised by subtlety and minimalism of expression. It is an autonomous and living world. Footwork in its basic form is a musical genre which is supposed to accompany the movements of dancers competing with each other. otomoni's Footwork is music detached from this tradition, but using the components of this genre to create a completely new reality.

NUNU ★ "USER FRIENDLY" (99CTS_016) PREVIEWS

The 38th release of katharsis and our final release of 2023 is the prodigious compilation "Embracing Darkness, Absorbing Light" featuring a vast array of artist beloved by the label. Throughout the grandiose line-up of the 36 tracks, the listener is absorbed by various differing interpretations of the theme outlined in the title of the album. Some of the invited artist went full into introverted progressions and meditative sounds, while others focused on aggressive rhythms or anthemic melodies. But even though the styles and techniques of the songs differ from each other, the artists seem to have some commonality in their sonic palettes that binds it all together in a mutual love for music as a healing force of nature <3

‘Chyo’ is the debut EP for Rest Now! by Tristan, the French multidisciplinary artist Tristan Brundler. Tristan makes music like he sculpts: by shaping voices, empty landscapes, organic forms, melting plastic and vegetals to create spaces and dimensions to walking in.

It goes through stages of recovery, deconstruction, reassembly and fusion of sound materials. Tristan's musical will meets his sculptural desire: to create places, atmosphere and poetry. Swaying between electronic violence and mental sweetness, between ambient, club, neo-trap and darkwave influences, Tristan tries to move forward in the construction of his psychological projection space.

‘Chyo’ is a poetic area of future inquiries. During the production, Tristan worked with the artists Migu and Whiterose for the vocal parts. Tristan describes ‘Chyo’: "all is falling out, and I don’t understand what I’m doing here, what is the sense of my presence in this environment."

In 2020, we started the BAM compilation series in order to raise money for the organization Hoodstock Montreal, more specifically towards their workshop “PROJECT S.T. ARTS.”, a music-oriented project that provides at-risk youth with a chance to create music in a professional studio environment.

With your help, we donated $2000 to this cause in May 2021! Thank you.
