Lucrecia Dalt - Mirage

BCL052223

from the album Charles Cohen - "Brother I Prove You Wrong" out on Morphine Records 2015 - doser026LP

Composer, improviser, and Buchla Music Easel master Charles Cohen returns to Morphine with a suite of new material. In keeping with the timbre spectrum of his semi-modular system, Brother I Prove You Wrong is built around pointillist analog tones—Cohen's cosmic "beeps and boops"—that swarm and scatter in mesmeric patterns across four sides. Moving through surrealistic textural overlays and industrial miasma, the album's nine tracks reveal a more introspective and personal side of the artist, following from a retrospective LP trilogy released via Morphine in 2013. Those assembled works, dating back to the late '70s, quickly became essential listening and brought Cohen—at the time largely unknown outside Philadelphia's experimental circuit—to critical renown. 

Brother I Prove You Wrong was recorded in Berlin in September 2014 using the Buchla Music Easel, with production help and support from Rabih Beaini. Mastered by Neel and curated and designed by TankBoys; cover art by Nathalie du Pasquier.

'Unstable' [CD|LP|DIGITAL]

Dictaphone are back with their 6th full length called "Unstable". In the 25th year of the project Brussels born composer and mastermind Oliver Doerell is surrounded again by a lot of musicians & friends. Roger Döring is there, his clarinet and saxophone play has always been a trademark sound of the band - also Alexander Stolze's ghostly violins. The dark atmosphere and experimental sound of the new album is a reference to the 80s belgian art music scene, which Doerell had the luck to experience in his formative years. Minimal jazz meets musique concrete meets a postpunk mind. On this new album “Unstable“ more voices and vocals than usual can be heard - especially Helga Raimondi (who already sang on the last album “Goats and Distortions 5") . As a collage artist she is also responsible for the visual side of Dictaphone - she designed the cover artwork and the visuals for the live shows.

The Brussels-Berlin-Teheran connection: Other guests on "Unstable" are the voices of Kaveh Ghaemi and Ashkan Afsharian, who Doerell met during a modern ballet production by Modjgan Hashemian (2008). The trumpet of Shahab Anousha can be heard in the track “La fin“ - Oliver Doerell and Shahab Anousha also share the spoken words Project “Noufān”. For nearly 20 years Oliver Doerell is linked to the Iranian Diaspora in Berlin and the Dictaphone track “Rattle” from the classic album “ Poems from a rooftop “ (2012) has been a hit in Teherans underground scene since the beginning. Furthermore the title track “Unstable“ is a homage to Ian Curtis of Joy Division. The words of this piece are based on the setlist of Joy Divisions last show.

Dictaphone played more than two hundred shows all over the world (including festivals Mutek, Transmediale, Unsound , Benicassim and many others). Their music can be heard in countless films, tv series and theatre pieces - (“the responder“ (BBC) , “the love he knows” (Ali Mohammad) , “Don´t move“ (Modjgan Hashemian) , Ring (Felix Ruckert) among others.

My Heart Waits For You
© 2007 Gary Pecorella
Lyrics & Music by Gary Pecorella
						

My love, can you hear me?  See me?
There’s so much I want to say						
My lips long to taste you, embrace you
But I have to go away						
I’m crossing over

Chorus 1:
I’m the rain that whispers in the wind		
Dancing ‘cross the stream
I fill your every thought  				                 	 
And every dream 
Breathe me, feel me						
But, love, please release me	

‘Til time takes you tenderly						
And brings you home to me
I send you this message        
I’m right here    
Where my heart waits for you				


I see the answer now so clearly, completely
I finally understand
This life is just another journey, precious memory
Of footprints laid in the sand
I’m crossing over

Chorus 2:
I’m the shining star that flashes by             			
Light years ‘cross the sky				
To sing to you a cosmic lullaby                          		
Breathe me, feel me
But, love, please release me
		
‘Til time takes you tenderly							
And brings you home to me
I send you this message        	
I’m right here    
Where my heart waits for you

I’m right here    
Where my heart waits for you

MY HEART WAITS FOR YOU

A mutant offspring of diverse stylings, unlikely convergences, unfixed constellations, ZEBRA, Alexis Georgopoulos’ - aka Arp - fifth full-length album, is a post-everything symbiosis of ancient to future psychotropics, emphasizing points of connectivity between far-flung traditions. ZEBRA is as naturalistic as it is alien, disrupting outdated boundaries between musical traditions, hierarchies and genre politics. 
 
Using forward-looking production techniques and an idiosyncratic instrumental palette — analog synthesizers, double bass, Fender Rhodes, electronic and acoustic drums, flute, vintage harmonizers and tape delay — Georgopoulos proposes a vast, shimmering prospect, floralizing an array of styles and smiles  — Fourth World tremors, vibey Cosmic Jazz, 80s Japanese production, floating kosmische drum atmospherics.
 
Emphasizing 'points of connectivity' in a time when reactive and fractious isolationism threaten in divisive ways, ZEBRA is the sound of interaction. ZEBRA seeks something beyond definition of singularity perspective and division. It is constructive instead of flippant: ecstatic instead of wallowing; clear-eyed instead of opiated, romantic instead of cynical. 
 
Like the zebra, Georgopoulos’ latest album revels in contrast / duality - Naturalistic + alien. Urban + rural. Calm + unsettling. Lucid + mysterious. Bold simplicity + fiendish complexity. The result is a portal to a more curious world that compels repeat visits.

Resignasjon no. II

Admiring traditions of jazz, funk, and Shona music while pulsing with post-genre nuance, the duo of old friends known as Honey Oat is drawing silk diagrams of oblique time through sound.

Honey Oat’s tiered walls of vocal layerings and blissful Wurlitzer glissandi condense into clouds of complex melodic residue. Gabe Stout’s evocative jazz drumming clusters together beats of improbability and wonder, a bedrock for his own tenderly leaping falsettos. In tandem, Janak JP paints timescapes with an electric piano, coursing through progressive jazz and keys-forward pop features with fluidity. In intimate cross-chatter, Honey Oat activates intensities ranging from knuckles-on-the-keys vamps (‘Wonder In Sights’) to delicate, youthful lullabies (‘Wallpaint’) and levels in between.

In and around core duets of Wurlitzer and traps, Honey Oat weaves a dotted arrangement of musical idiosyncrasies. On ‘Loopspool,’ between sustained synthesizer mid tones and a three-over-two hosho ostinato, a driving impulse emerges that conveys an ever-peaking and ever-evolving emotional state. The collaboration of rapper Maassai on ‘A Small Piece Of String’ disperses a sense of calm against ring-modulated synth leads that drone like the landing of a UFO. ‘Lizard Brain’ and ‘Wallpaint’ call out to Shona music, the Zimbabwean tradition Stout and JP have studied since they met in a marimba class at age 6. Today, continuing to write with the mbira and marimba helps Stout and JP to ground and celebrate their bond of mutual creative becoming, which has lasted nearly a lifetime.

Honey Oat’s debut album renders time wavering and unpredictable. The music sits still as much as it departs in oneiric spirals. Against the current of social media and its loops of endless replayability, Honey Oat’s music sits with hyperlocal remembrance, spontaneity: the mortality of the moment. (“I’m gonna find me a stranger from a past life and hope that you remember me / When you get gone”) What must be forgotten to remember? Pockets of crooked temporality bead into capsules of emotional clarity on the brink of annihilation: “I will not forget you / But you will forget me / When I disappear.”
