Hirotaka Shirotsubaki - Pre-Winter Forest 
V.A - United Soundscapes Oriented to Nature [USON03 / USON]

Produced by Hirotaka Shirotsubaki
Mastered by Pobla Studios
Artwork by Marco Aurelio Usón
Released by USON from Madrid, Spain
Release Date : December 17th. 2021

Abstracting the voice of a single creature from a habitat and trying to understand it regardless of its own context is a little like trying to comprehend an elephant by examining only a single hair at the tip of its tail. On the contrary, integrated sounds of nature in a given time and place of an environment have a specific context and meaning. In many regards, it mimics a modern-day orchestra: the voice of each creature has its own frequency, amplitude, timbre, and duration, and occupies a unique niche among the other musicians; the sum of each of these voices gives birth to a biophony. This bio-orchestra or biophony represents a unique sound grouping for a given biome with diverse “bio-vibrations” and an array of messages for the soul; one of them is that sound is discontinuous. If nature “vibrates” sounds, every bio-vibration of the biosphere is a finite and discrete time instant. However, from a “macroscopic” view point, biosounds are, on the other hand, continuous, which results from superimposing one bio-vibration to another and linking them together. The continuity of biosounds is just a matter of integrated global perception, which in many cases is deeply memorized by our central nervous system. The same incredible system that builds consciousness, multimedia memories, creative dreams, as well as our sense of life and love.

Reaching Out (feat. Chapelier Fou)

ILUITEQ + Lorenzo Montanà - Noesi

Iconoclastic Buddhist Línjì Yìxuán once remarked, "The miracle is not to walk on water. The miracle is to walk on earth." This profound statement serves as a reminder of the sheer beauty of our planet. We often take for granted the ground beneath our feet and the simple wonders that our ecosystem supports. Everyday activities like walking under a blue sky, feeling the breeze on our skin, or listening to a songbird's melody remind us that Earth is a precious host offering endless marvels.

"Breath," the latest album by Bordeaux-based producer Frank Zaragoza under his Ocoeur project, is a heartfelt tribute to these earthly wonders. This album, perhaps his most sincere and ambitious to date, comprises seven tracks that reflect Zaragoza's deep appreciation for the world around us. "Breath" is tranquil, peaceful, and meditative, yet its expansive, cinematic scope evokes vivid images of Earth's stunning landscapes. The album is both elegantly captivating and a poignant call for peace on our planet.

With "Breath," Zaragoza elevates his Ocoeur project to new heights, celebrating the marvels of the physical world around us. Breath is out on September 6th 2024.

Today Kiasmos, the duo of Icelandic composer Ólafur Arnalds and Faroese musician Janus Rasmussen, release their long-awaited second album.

Kiasmos are returning, renewed and restored, with II. It’s the triumphant follow-up to their universally acclaimed self-titled debut in 2014, which re-envisioned minimal techno with orchestral flourishes and weightless production. They’d made most of that album in just two weeks; this time it’s been 10 years. The making of II was a test of their friendship, but also testament to how great musical chemistry can always go the distance and be just the same as it ever was. “In the beginning, we hadn’t established any sound, so it was easy to write,” says Janus.

Following the recently dropped EP Flown, today they share new single Burst which Janus describes as being “the moment when the whole album started coming together. A lot of work went into making this track what it is, making it an anchor for the rest of the album.”

Ólafur adds: “when we finally arrived at Burst it felt like a key to the puzzle of what a new Kiasmos could sound like.”

Kiasmos - Squared (Edit)

I created The Blast EP as an experiment in chance. I assembled a collection of different MIDI sequences and routed them to various hardware synthesizers and drum machines in my studio. I triggered these different clips and had a synth open, allowing me to respond and play melodies and bass lines that matched the presented chord progressions, moods, and ambiences. This process was performed live as a loose improvisation on an internet radio app called Blast. Blast is a platform for a community of artists and DJs to stream their performances live, which are then available for 24 hours before disappearing.The initial performance was recorded, and I found a kindred spirit in Aaron Shaw, a remarkable saxophonist. He embellished the 30-minute journey with additional melodies, adding layers of soul and emotion to this piece. Truly meant to be listened to front to back!

The Album Leaf - Blast

I'm back from my summer vacation, folks! Did you miss me? I spent about a week on a beach [in Italy] doing absolutely nothing. I don't think I even listened to music much [okay, I think there was some early 2000 trance - In Search Of Sunrise]. And now it's time to buckle up and catch up to new music as the labels prepare to unleash the usual torrent of releases before the year's end. And, once again, it is the labels that I have to trust here. And so, today, I turn to the French imprint InFiné, curated by Alexandre Cazac and Yannick Matray, “to pulse with love and passion", which previously brought us Bruce Brubaker, Francesco Tristano, Vanessa Wagner, Murcof and Rone. It's a nice collective of contemporary classical crossover with electronica, and I'm always curious about what they put their stamp of approval on next. Today, it's Japanese electronic musician Hiroshi Watanabe, who records under the alias of Kaito and previously put out half a dozen releases on Kompakt in the early 2000s. The Kanji character, for his moniker, represents and captures the act of "unravelling the enigmas of the universe." And this is what he tends to explore with his music in the latest Collection - a handful of EPs and singles from the last few years compiled on this upcoming release. There are some beat-driven versions in this selection, but I seem to mostly connect with the drifting ambience of this "Summer Ocean", and I hope that you do as well!
