@Ainsworthless: 
this is a song about trying to stop hurting yourself solely for the sake of not hurting yourself

Lyrics:
"put down the scissors, pick up the pen 
another night of red blood on your shirt won't help anyone 

even if you feel already ready to go, 
you may miss out on helping someone you don't already know 

so write to your heart's content 
and share it with all your friends 
and if it doesn't interest them 
then submit to your misery 

you've been wanting to say so long for so long 
and now you've wasted twenty-five CD-Rs and the time of some 

so pick up the scissors, put down the pen 
another night of unread ink on paper won't help anyone"

Premiere: Ainsworth - The Time Of Some

AKE is the name - a typographical divertissement - of the solo music project of Elia Pellegrino, member of the Italian band Pugile, currently living in Turin, Italy. AKE's first compositions were published in 2013, in an EP named Sunset, by the italian label forevergreen.fm. They were the result of a biennial cumulation of live experiences: be it in some of Italy's finest festivals (Club To Club, Jazz:Re:Found), be it in the local club scene of which AKE was one the key figures.

Rafael Anton Irisarri from "The Shameless Years"

Post-minimalist American composer Rafael Anton Irisarri makes his Umor Rex debut with bold new album, The Shameless Years. Inspired by a troubled socio-political climate, buried melodies punch their way through a bleak cover of noisy drones, periodically veering into some of Irisarri’s most eerily pertinent music to date.

One of Rafael Anton Irisarri’s most thematically and sonically cohesive records to date The Shameless Years came together in a relatively short burst of creativity starting at the end of 2016. Rediscovering some relatively older tools - namely Native Instruments’ Reaktor, Absynth, and Kontakt software - Irisarri combined them with his collection of guitars, pedals, amps, and analogue processing gear, turning his Black Knoll Studio north of NYC into a powerful writing tool. Completed quickly by Irisarri’s standards, let alone during a period of social upheaval in American society, the record faces down several key personal themes. The title, suggests Irisarri, could in fact be seen as a reflection of the era of shamelessness we’re currently living in; a time of fake news and alternative facts.

Two tracks were completely remotely between Irisarri in New York and Umor Rex veteran Siavash Amini from his home in Tehran, Iran. This music came together at the peak of all the anti-Muslim and anti-immigrant rhetoric happening in the USA, not to mention the banning of Iranians from entering the country, explains Irisarri. The diptych with Amini, ‘Karma Krama’ and ‘The Faithless’, seems bathed in additional waves of sorrow and dread. The wash of symphonic stormclouds of synth drones and processed notes on the latter gradually appears and disappears over the course of thirteen mournful minutes.

‘Rh Negative’ marches gigantic guitars through towering valleys of scarred ambient noise dealing with Irisarri’s own heritage, many of his ancestors having come to America to escape poverty and oppression. The refusal of modern America to extend similar sanctuary to refugees escaping turmoil weighs heavily on the composer. Elsewhere an emotional onslaught of notes buried in mounds of greyscale noise on ‘Sky Burial’ aims to deal with Irisarri’s very own mortality – something he was recently confronted with following health scares, an accident, and a near-death experience in 2016. Pushing 40 as this album was being made, the composer is constantly aware that he’s already outlived his own father, who died at the age of 32. Facing down both intolerance and the void, the epic soundscapes of The Shameless Years are a vast cry of emotion from Irisarri. The clock is ticking - gotta make the most out of it while you still can.

All songs written and performed by Rafael Anton Irisarri, except #5 & #6 written and performed with Siavash Amini. Design by Daniel Castrejón, photos by Camilo Christen. Mastered by James Plotkin.

FOUNDLING - A MAN WHO HALLUCINATES

TMRPOE, or 'the most remote place on earth', is the moniker of Japanese composer and sound artist Kee Yawne. on Keep Dreaming - his debut release - he layers natural sounds to craft subtle melodies and blissful sonic soundscapes. this album is pure magic - ideal for a meditative, introspective evening. 

--- 

"...meditative atmosphere where sounds drift lazily by but aren't directionless. There's a definite sense of purpose in their movements even when that purpose isn't always clear. With a keen eye and ear toward the construction of overlapping melodies, he subtly arranges these sounds in hallucinatory patterns and tones. With each dynamic bit of music, he further draws you into these emotionally responsive landscapes that seem to change and alter their appearance with subsequent listens. Possessed of a brilliant and gorgeous electronic foundation, "Keep Sleeping" evokes vast distances and open horizons through a variety of natural and artificial sounds." - Nooga.com 

"abbandonarsi in contemplazioni estatiche e sogni ad occhi aperti." - music won't save you 

"Its power comes from exploring new niches in familiar, interesting territory, and musically, it’s unafraid of contrast—after all, dreams wouldn’t be dreams without a sense that anything might happen. For you, on Keep Sleeping, it might." - Brown Noise Unit
