Human Endeavour is the newest addition to Ransom Note Records’ family of sub-labels. Curated and run by Ransom Note Editor, and one half of DJ duo Kiara Scuro, Rosie Ama Cain, the label will be a “space for artists who are exploring the dark, deep and hypnotic corners of the musical spectrum.”

For the inaugural outing, which is out now, six artists have come together for ‘Trains Of Thought’: a Various Artists EP that gives a window into some of the sounds, styles and names that you’ll be hearing on the label in the future.

Berlin vocalist and producer ANGST vor GRETA brings things to a close with the psychedelic Cold Wave of ‘Infinity’. Atmospheric pads and an eerie synth line are punctuated by crisp percussion and a steady beat, while ghostly wolf howls and Greta’s sultry, whispered spoken word evoke an overall sense of mystique.

Her track appears alongside contributions from Albino Sound, Reda Saiarh, Double Helix, Anatolian Weapons and Nandele, which span everything from UK techno, acid post-punk and EBM to cold wave and new beat.

Human Endeavour, a name inspired by a mathematics talk penned by Rosie’s late father, which drew its own inspiration from quotes by Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking, works on the belief that as long as there’s life there will be creative endeavour, and that no matter what you create, the action of bringing something into the world is an achievement in itself.

HE001 'Trains Of Thought' is out today on Human Endeavour Records.

PREMIERE: ANGST vor GRETA - Infinity [Human Endeavour]

Her favorite concert, the year before the accident. The details, a little blurrier with each retelling. The t-shirt, a little thinner with each cycle through the machines. The memories, slowly transforming into lint.

Disquiet 0695 invited us to take a piece of our own music and put it through a metaphorical dryer. What would be cast off, and what would remain?

I decided to start with "Mise-en-scene", the piece that I made back in September for prompt #0665: a glitchy, minimalist homage to Achim Szepanski. The original track featured a Møffenzeef Mødular Stargazer drone synth performance over complex 5/4 rhythmic patterns voiced with drum machine samples. 

To put the piece through the dryer, I decided to underlay a more regular and machine-like rhythm (an 8-bar 4/4 percussion part) and make the song get thinner over time. The 4/4 under 5/4 made for some interesting polyrhythms. I thinned out the song by slowly converging the cutoff frequencies of low- and hi-pass filters applied to all of the original tracks. By the end, nothing is left but the 4/4 rhythm of the machine winding down.

Premiere : Bagarre Perdue - 'Cowboy'

Tofistock have decided to take us to the movies for their fist compilation, enlisting the help of Olsvanger, Lily Haz, and Emma de Seze among others to help us settle for the main feature, complete with popcorn, trailers and anti piracy messages.
One of the standout performances and shoe in for an Oscar nominee is Drama Goddess, with Holy Mountain. Inspired in no small part by the Alejandro Jodorowski avant garde classic, the track rings out with droney guitars distant echo of birdsong, tabla drums as a quiet psychedelia sets in and overcomes the atmosphere of the track which doesn't sound a million miles from bands like the Brian Jonestown Massacre at their very best. 
If you only see one movie this year, make it one of those big Marvel franchise films. but if you only buy one compilation based on an EP, make it Movie Makers on Tofistock.
