56 ✖ PHILIPP OTTERBACH

Recorded in Montreal (September 2021) by https://soundcloud.com/snows_ov_gethen, radio host on Internet Public Radio (https://internetpublicradio.live/) and La Face B (http://lafaceb.live), musicologist, classically-trained musician, obsessive vinyl collector, and producer of electronic music residing in Montréal

"This mix is a meditation (in a radio-essay format) on music and sound design in film. I am mostly concentrating on my favourite soundtrack music, which happens to be tied to the art films, 1970-80s horror (both American and European), cult flicks, animation and documentaries.
Although tracklist features some big-name soundtrack composers who ended up involved in the big Hollywood projects (Ennio Morricone, Howard Shore, Pino Donaggio, Angelo Badalamenti) I tried to focus more on their experimental, earlier work." V.P.

62 ✖ JAN FIETSER

From the vault of Studio Presqu'île's sleepless nights comes a bangin' of a two-header in the form of 'Hitherto', Brittany Dubson's debut on Chambre Noire.

The brainchild of former DJ and rave organizer Philippe Gratton, Brittany Dubson was conceived with no fixed intention in mind but the one to exorcise his creator from the limitations of functional dance music by way of spontaneous collaborations and freeform studio experimentations.

Limited edition of fourty 7” lathe cut vinyls + digital

CN005 - Brittany Dubson - Hitherto EP (7")

Recorded in Montreal, QC (November 2022) by https://soundcloud.com/leeff

"This recording kicks up dust with bonkers basslines, funk-inspired feel, waves of weirdness, and a post-punkish attitude from musicians and bands I've been keeping close to my heart for some time now. No particular continent, nor era, just pieces that I drew from my collection and relate to Chambre Noire's soundscape." P.B.

64 ✖ LEËF

Recorded in Montreal, QC (January 2023) by https://soundcloud.com/lnrdcroy

"Starsystem endurance. Arrival station Centauri RY70X. Cryosleep memory leak; maunder sterile corridors. Grit thoroughfares. Recollect high ability: wildstyle! Abandon former life isolate. Art-zeal-fixation.

Beyond all mire.

The heavenspot ensures death, tag it anyway.” L.C.

Artwork by Bunzinelli

65 ✖ LNRDCROY

where lava turns into new land
ridges collapse, and bottomless crevasses breathe
light moves weightlessly from aphotic blacks to the purest blues
sinking deeper and deeper into the disintegration of time
pulling you into a wordless state

Paris' dub luminary Alan Briand hits the Chambre Noire imprint with a face-melting trip into the abyss - an artifact that would creep in just as easily in some obscure research lab than your favourite listening bar.

It's music for the deep sea dwellers.
Scientists dig it, diggers too.

66 ✖ MEREL RHIZOOM

Brittany Dubson’s « Hitertho » EP is one year old and we’re celebrating it with this beautiful dub version of « Querelle » he made for the occasion! Here are few words by the man himself: 

« navigating through space-time at tangible speed, one could be forgiven for not noticing change, or more precisely for not being able to define it. the quarrel i'm speaking about is one i engage in every time i regain consciousness, every time some sort of equilibrium claims victory over chaos. the water surface becomes an immersive mirror every once in a while though, and as millions of h2o molecules come back together to form a perfectly still, flipped up image, i breath the fugitive air of reconciliation. 

hoping this new version of Querelle incepts some peaceful reflections in your psyche »

You can get it on Bandcamp with the full EP or individually here: https://chambrenoirerecords.bandcamp.com/track/querelle-reconciliate-dub

"A bodyless soul is sinful
Like a body without a shirt—
No intention, nothing gets done,
No inspiration, never a line.
A riddle with no solution:
Who is going to come back
After dancing on the dance-floor
Where there's nobody to dance?"

- Arseniy Tarkovsky

42 ✖ MARIE DAVIDSON

Chambre Noire is proud to present its second record: an EP by Québecois artist Vromb, a veteran producer around since the mid-90s, known in particular for his releases on Ant-Zen. Over the course of five tracks on vinyl (six in the digital version), the artist’s sounds seem to take on physical shapes, like living origami: constantly mutating as they open, close and transform into something else. With attention to movement and boundary-challenging textures, this EP is ready to ensnare listeners in a variety of contexts, from club environments to more contemplative environments.

A2 - Extraction (Digital Bonus) (05:24)

Chambre Noire n10.as Show #20

Recorded in Montréal, Québec (April 2020) by https://soundcloud.com/emreplatz, member of https://soundcloud.com/little-tapes

“Forgetfulness heals everything and song is the most beautiful manner of forgetting, for in song man feels only what he loves.” Ivo Andrić, The Bridge on the Drina

"A meditative collage of sounds near and dear to my heart. Started as a nostalgic love letter to home that quickly evolved into a kaleidoscopic genre-hopping experiment, flowing as chapters that carry the listener from the swamps of Louisiana to the underwater lands of Mu. I took great pleasure in putting this together, hope it induces some forgetfulness in our lonely housebound days." E. A.

Chambre Noire n10.as Show #21

Recorded in Barcelona, Spain (July 2020) by https://soundcloud.com/aliciacarrera

Originally hailing from Galicia and with a long stint in Berlin behind her, Alicia Carrera is a graphic artist and music explorer. Her vision has been cultivated in smoky bars, second-hand buckets and underground publications. Perhaps those could be the reasons why her sets always scape from a common place. Her musical obsessions embrace genres such post punk, dub, psych or experimental electronics among other sonic passions that led her to create the fanzine Zauberstab in 2014, dedicated to unusual sounds. 
Perceiving the music as a way of self-emancipation, her sonic approach has no boundaries. These are some facts that led her to play clubs and festivals all over Europe, building her own reputation as a DJ. She also co-organizes party series Curva Imposible in Barcelona event that explores the most enigmatic margins of music in unique spaces.
