Nice! :) not heard this species before. Weirdly I've not heard that many frogs around this year in large choruses as I usually do. Wonder if somethings changed...Not seeing so many tree frogs either. Usually spotting them in the grass by now. Was this chorus going all night? Thanks for sharing!

CRAVINGS OF PEGASUS
The third album, October 2021
A journey between organic and artificial soundscapes,
between verbal and non verbal sounds, with mythological guides and impulsive language. 

“Pegasus is the body that does not follow words, it is the one who doesn’t need to behave, the one who plays hide and seek when you’re not able to fall asleep. It is the urge to speak another language.
It’s there. When you finally trust yourself and the world around you.
It’s that voice that asks you to play in the mud, 
to sing,
and just be. ”

Composed and recorded by Emma Grace
Mastered by Capitano Merletti at Studio Garp

Blocking Behaviours concerns the real-time interpretation of two simulations of complex behaviour through an agent-based system. The simulations enforce a way of thinking that revolves around balancing behaviours. An attitude that considers musical output as something that emerges from an interaction with an autonomous system.

The simulation acts as a generative, rule-based system producing output that is subject to different kinds of observation algorithms. The idea is that evolving processes are set in motion where the creator/composer becomes an observer of various developments. The output can not always be controlled in detail but is instead interpreted and further processed. The interpretation involves a mapping between different modes of representation in order to simplify or combine. In Blocking Behaviours the idea is to explore the boundary of generative behaviour, control and and direct access to computer sound synthesis.

Blocking Behaviours premiered during the ICLC (International Conference on Live Coding) in April 2023.

Picture spectral rays of light darting around a huge warehouse space in a way you suspect subatomic particles might - sporadically changing shape, bursting with colour and full of dynamism - could also be said for the music of Yu Miyashita.

Performing as Yaporigami for A NEW WAVE the Berlin-based artist has been something of a revelation since discovering his label The Collection Artaud, a super massive independent back catalogue of radical sound design, and home to Yaporimagi and other Miyashita aliases.

With the artist’s foremost production skills also drifting into sync, video editing and soundtrack work, Yaporigami, albeit @underarram in general, gives rise to a truly innovative and boundary-breaking approach to the creation of sonic and visual art.

ALxFW: Yaporigami (17.12.23) - Live

The Marais Du Verdier is a rich marshland made up of four former fishponds totalling 120 hectares, with a variety of habitats (reedbeds, bulrushes, salt meadows, ponds, tamarisk groves). This recording captures the intense amphibian chorus after dusk, with many Stripeless Tree Frogs (hyla meridionalis) vocalising.

Kaya North's album 'Myths' is the first album released as part of our Maps album series.  More info: https://lnk.to/poisonmaps

Lost Tribe Sound's 2023/2024 album subscription series “Maps To Where The Poison Grows” or if you prefer “Maps Series” for short. The subscription series features 11 new full-length albums by From the Mouth of the Sun, Skyphone, Claire Deak, mastroKristo, R.A Sanchez (Black Baptist, Pale Hearse, Tokyo Bloodworm), Lavatone, Kaya North (Caleb R.K. Williams, Eagle Stone Collective), Drawing Virtual Gardens, Civic Hall (Euan Millar-McMeeken and Craig Tattersall), and Corrado Maria De Santis.

Like the lava that forges the mountain, by the solar blood that burns the destiny, We recite the forgotten rites. Marble is death, Dark are the offerings. The farewell to the void hums, primitive hymns building the temple. Circle of hands and bones, we sing the collapse, let the beings of the ritual be born.
