Genoasejlet - Portugal, 1992

New on the Notwist's label, Alien Transistor comes a new album from two veterans of the famed Weilheim scene. Carl Oesterhelt is best known for his work as Carlofashion and with bands such as Ms John Soda, while Johannes Enders is a veteran of Tied & Tickled Trio, as well as his own Enders Room project. For Divertimento Fur Tenorsaxophon Und Kleines Endembe the duo adopt a musical policy that seems to restlessly shift between fiercely modern classical styles and more polymorphous, jazz-influenced sounds. It's not too commonplace to hear a saxophone leading an ensemble as is the case here, but Enders is an extraordinary player, exhibiting a versatility and level of musicianship that sees him glide fluidly through the schizoid soundscape of this suite. The percussive elements are key to the record's unique sound too, occasionally evoking Moondog's strange homemade arrangements, while in other moments absorbing the vocabulary of the Indonesian gamelan. Excellent. BOOMKAT 



Carl Oesterhelt / Johannes Enders : Track 4

from 'Vantdraught 10 Vol. 1' [CD|LP|DIGITAL]
Denovali Records · den225
available on all formats at [http://denovali.com/kubakapsa]

Kuba Kapsa is a Polish pianist and composer being the leader of the avant-jazz combo Contemporary Noise Sextet (2006-2014). Beyond that he is a renowned composer for film and theater plays. His latest venture is the first of a sophisticated series of projects of modern classical music bearing the common title "Vantdraught".

The first part of the "Vantdraught" series is called "Vantdraught 10" written for ten classical instruments - 4 violins, 2 violas, cello, vibraphone, marimba and piano. The music is largely based on a repetition of individual melodic motifs, which are also quite multithreaded within a given composition. Vibraphone, piano and marimba are written in a “push-pull” combination, being the rhythmical base for every piece, while strings are instantly “questioning and answering” each other whether being supportive to the rhythm or used for the presentation of themes. The common feature of every composition is symmetry, which has been applied to almost every aspect - rhythm, harmony, motifs and themes. The first four pieces of "Vantdraught 10", which are inspired by the works of classical minimalists, early 20th century composers and 20th century Polish composers such as Steve Reich, Igor Stravinsky, Edgar Varesè, Henryk Mikołaj Górecki or Wojciech Kilar, have been recorded in December 2014 with musicians from renowned Polish ensembles such as Neoquartet and Kwartludium at the concert studios of Radio Gdansk. "Vantdraught 10 Vol.1" will be released on Denovali Records in April 2015. For Vol. 2, which is following up, Kuba Kapsa will present a rather asymmetrical approach to voice leading and rhythm. 
"Vantdraught 10·Vol.1" features an astonishing artwork based on "Brotmorgendämmerung" (breaddawn) by the seminal artist duo Kahn & Selesnick.

Farbwechsel's co-founder S Olbricht aka Martin Mikolai from Budapest has been quite active in the lo-fi techno scene over the past few years. Having already dropped numerous EPs and LPs on established labels including Opal Tapes and Vertikal Records, the Hungarian producer makes a return on London-based imprint Lobster Theremin with an album called "For Perfect Beings". The LP's opener "Asterid" featured here is no less than a fantastic piece of ambient and grainy techno, driven by an obsessive woodblock and slowly morphing along some haunting cinematic synths. One for the dreamers and the techno geeks out there. "For Perfect Beings" reaches the shops on April 8, props to Lobster Theremin for another beautiful release.

Dag Rosenqvist - Come Silence (from 'elephant' CD)

over the last couple of years i’ve been making really really really quiet music to listen to when i do yoga or sleep or meditate or panic. i ended up with 4 hours of music and have decided to give it away.

you can download it for free here: http://moby.com/la1 or stream it for free on soundcloud. or you can get it on spotify, apple music & itunes & deezer & tidal.

it’s really quiet: no drums, no vocals, just very slow calm pretty chords and sounds and things for sleeping and yoga and etc.

and feel free to share it or give it away or whatever, it’s not protected or anything, or at least it shouldn’t be.

thanks,

moby

FatCat Records’ 130701 imprint has played a pioneering role in the development of today’s vibrant post-classical scene. It has introduced the likes of Max Richter, Hauschka, and Set Fire To Flames, and been home to Sylvain Chauveau, Jóhann Jóhannsson, and Dustin O’Halloran. 

With its fifteenth anniversary approaching on 13th July 2016, 130701 is celebrating with the release of a compilation featuring eleven exclusive tracks - one from each of the artists to have graced the roster over the past fifteen years, plus three new signings - Ian William Craig, Olivier Alary and Resina - whose first 130701 albums are each set to appear this year. Curated and compiled by 130701’s David Howell, none of these tracks has previously seen a physical release.

Confess is a sound installation inspired by the confession ritual. It places the listener in a dark and empty room where the music, generated by random sections of organs, drones and bass amplifiers noises, explores the battle between the different layers of sounds and the spoken decalogue. This track is a randomly generated stereo mix from the quadraphonic setup.
