Warsaw-based cellist/composer Resina (Karolina Rec) returns with a first standalone album in three years, taking a big step forward on a bold and brilliantly expansive record that explores ideas about language, the voice and the unpredictability of nature. Recorded by Resina and Michał Kupicz, with striking additional mixing & production work by Daniel Rejmer (Ben Frost, Björk, Foals, Girls Names), 'Speechless’ is fluid and muscular, with wide dynamics and a dark and powerful dramatic weight. Across nine tracks, Resina's cello, voice and electronics are set alongside drummer Mateusz Rychlicki and the 23-piece 441 Hz choir.

Sieste Ambient #78 w/ Frédéric D. Oberland

Boy Is Fiction - Disbelief

Just yesterday I shared the news of a recently released album by Sinemis (that's Sine Buyuka) who is the founder of Injazero Records. And today I'm happy to follow up that announcement with a sequel release to the acclaimed Volutes (2020) by Snowdrops, which is a French-based chamber duo of Christine Ott and Mathieu Gabry. For this follow-up, they are joined by violist Anne-Irène Kempf, who also appears on this seventh and last piece on the album, which I am premiering for you today. Here, the piano, played by Ott, and the Rhodes in the hands of Gabry, create a soft fabric of acoustic harmonies that lift up the veil with strings and lush pads. It's a gentle track, which slowly evolves into an ever-expanding space where it disperses into the ether. "The piece develops a lot around repetitive but evolving motifs played by all three," says Gabry of music on "Mémoires Élementaires". "We are more and more distant from each other, but still connected. The viola played by Anne-irene takes the lead, and the Rhodes dissolves into a deep magma. The phrases slow down, and the reverberated space becomes larger." Perhaps the most cinematic out of the seven tracks on the album, the piece beautifully concludes this sonic painting which is a crossover genre, somewhere between modern classical, post-folk, and electro-acoustic music.

Made with discarded scraps of 35mm photographic film, flashes of texture move to collect a body of material, whilst the sound waves develop a physicality as they propagate through the space between the viewers’ ears.

Waxing Moon

Rebecca Foon • "Another Realm"

Folk music from another dimension by singular artist Kaboom Karavan and his new album "The Log and the Leeway", following a 6 year journey of personal exploration and drastic change. 

"The Log and the Leeway" is released 17th of July 2020 and features amongst others a bizarre cover painting by John Lurie (of The Lounge Lizards). It also comes with a 16 page booklet of musical illustrations by Walter Doogh & Erik K Skodvin that more or less connects and confuses the stories behind the record.

Red and Black LP editions.

Kaboom Karavan - Silk Skin Armor

from 'Karma' [CD|LP|DIGITAL]
Denovali Records · den345
available on all formats at http://denovali.com/mansur

MANSUR is the newly initiated project by Jason Kohnen (ex-The Kilimanjaro Darkjazz Ensemble) joined by Dimitry El-Demerdashi (ex-Phurpa) and introducing Martina Hórvath on vocals. The sound of MANSUR navigates between the waters of musical fantasy and reality - it morphs and blends traditional instrumentation with modern day electronica.

Horváth, El-Demerdashi and Köhnen return to their otherworldly worldbuilding with their debut album ‘Karma’ on Denovali. MANSUR leads the listener into mystical and magical unknowns, that lie far past the realms of material perception.

As astronomer Carl Saga once wrote “Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known”.  Universal lessons of life, brought by teachings and teachers of ages. Unimaginary worlds in all our capacities of being created.  MANSUR is the transformational vessel guiding you to these non-physical realms. The realms you seek are already there, its up to you to find them.
