https://soundcloud.com/luispestana approaches the pagan nature, according to a filter of the saturation of humanity and its technological achievements. A recent but already solid heritage of people like Oneohtrix Point Never, James Ferraro or Ben Frost, who distilled the popular sphere into a dystopian and yet effervescent digital alchemy. A utopia made reality. The fauna and flora summoned by Luis Pestana are still existences to be verified. The kind we read about in sci-fi books and popular legends: so unreal and yet so familiar.

''What was a crucial sonic experience in your life?’'
Listening a strange pipe organ drone coming from a little church in Palmela, near my hometown. Never heard a pipe organ sounding like that, as though as it was slowly being consumed by fire, singing melting blue dirges. What a strange and beautiful thing. The door was closed; no info outside. Occasionally I would pass by but never heard it again. Ten years later I found out it was a Tim Hecker gig.

MNEMOSYNE #023 - LUIS PESTANA

U-nA rawdraft [a500]

Mademoiselle Anne Sanglante Ou Notre Nymphomanie Auréolé, the double-barreled name for Masonna , of course, is one of most prolific, adventurous, and respected noise artists, making dozens of releases on his own legendary and astonishing label Coquette, presenting them in very limited editions, sometime totally confidential (one sole copy), and reflecting his predilection for 60’s psychedelic music revisited in its own very peculiar way. He transforms his voice into noise, feeding the microphone back through a process of extreme distortion. His shouts become clipped bursts of overloaded sound, doubled and extended by a delay that displace the sounds into stuttered blasts of static. From noise lines, to minimal, warbling  expanses, to the ambiences and schizoid thinking effects, it’s a journey into a versatile mind who we clearly never heard enough from.
Released by Coquette on cassette in 1995 in just 15 copies with handmade covers, composed of different materials and inserted in transparent envelopes, the album Hate features one of Masonna’s most exciting and extraordinary work.  By deploying stripped down microphone-and-scream foundations, Masonna’s ingenious sonic palette and his unerring sense of rage are cast in thrilling, clear-eyed relief. The use of pedals and effects overwhelms the vocalizations that are practically not heard and creates an irresistible tension, layering a dazzling array of rich sonic colors, hard fragments, and unsettling timbres over the sort of taut psychedelic feedback used in Kosmische Musik and the echo of Tangerine Dream 's masterpiece Zeit ring out in the grooves of the double vinyl reissue. The polarities are pronounced and brilliantly assembled, injecting even the most rough brushwork with an inescapable air of suspense; it’s a real gem, deftly balancing harsh noise and otherworldly effects.
A towering holy grail of Japan noise music, Urashima is proud to present the first ever vinyl reissue of Masonna’s astoundingly ambitious and very ultra limited cassette, Hate, in one stunning gatefold cover double LP, in a limited edition in just 299 copies. Among the most ferocious and rare cassette from the artist discography, finally entering the light of day on vinyl analogue support. Grab a copy while you can. There aren’t many, and they’re not going to sit around for long.

An emotional journey based on a slow rhythm flowing over wide dubchords, with a voice full of phatos telling stories.

Unnoticed

[slp019] George Kostopoulos - Unnoticed [Snippets]

Pre-order date: 11th February 2022
Release date: 18th February 2022
Format: CD, Digital

"A cloud gathers at the peak of a green mountain,
a living curtain of leaves that could have been a
garland laid to rest upon the brow of the stone
apex, where the clinging arms of roots recede and
give way to progressively whiter stone faces,
pockmarked and stoic, a wisdom of bones.

Beneath the Urth, the hollowed cavity of Hell
wells up, an ironclad chasm full with hot black air,
delivering the profane names of the great thralls
it has called downward, like a long hissing
poisonous tongue, curling into a meaningless
symbol, thrust into the narrowing ceiling of the 
pyramid.

From a great distance apart, lowered eyes
consider the reverberant Urth, and the buried
dead. A hand turns, with an opened palm, and the 
seas reply, enveloping the landscape, reclaiming
its long forgotten inheritance."
