Suspicious Moon
A collection of Elvis Presley covers recorded by the duet David Fenech & Pierre Bastien

The idea of “Suspicious Moon” started at a party around the topic of blue color. David Fenech had chosen to play “Blue Moon” and Pierre Bastien asked to join in. It was a very enjoyable party and then they recorded the song and decided to plan an album exclusively based on covers of the King. Not that we were absolute fans of Elvis… but as a starting point to go somewhere else. And this is what we reached: in many aspects a premiere for the two musicians. Pierre focuses on (prepared) trumpet for the very first time, while David is heard extensively as a vocalist and is more than ever responsible for all arrangements and textures.

Playing other people’s material is also a premiere for both of them. 11 tracks around very well known standards. Like familiar places that are changed when seen in a different light. Please enjoy.

“Our choice of the Elvis Presley song book for this record may seem strange to many. It seems strange to me as well. Not that I dislike the original music, but before our sessions it had never been a direct source of inspiration. Paradoxically, this distance gave me freedom and flowing ideas. I hear similar qualities in David’s parts too. We hope that our relaxed attitude and its positive outcome will be reflected in this album” – Pierre Bastien

“The strange thing about these recordings is that the creative process was so fluid and natural… that it seems that through playing other people’s music, we almost reveal something of ourselves. As if these tracks were our creation, as if they were our own children!” – David Fenech

Pierre Bastien (born in 1953) is a French musician who builds his own machineries, at the cross between music and visual art, that blends live trumpet sounds with screen projections of on-site, mechanical sound sculptures in a very poetic way. His work is described as “a timeless sounding orchestra, both futuristic and slightly dada, conjuring ancient traditions in its surprisingly sensuous music.”. Around 1986 he started participating in Pascal Comelade’s Bel Canto Orquesta. At the same time he created – and literally built – his own orchestra called Mecanium : an ensemble of musical automatons constructed from meccano parts and activated by electro-motors, that are playing on acoustic instruments from all over the world. Collaborating in the past with video artist Pierrick Sorin, fashion designer Issey Miyake, singer and composer Robert Wyatt and Aphex Twin (who released three of his albums on his label Rephlex) to name a few, he is one of the most influential experimental musicians working in the field. In 1986 he formed his own self made one man orchestra, Mecanium and made over 20 records over the years. “A mad musical scientist with a celebrity following” (The Guardian ).

Canedicoda/Renato Grieco - Ehm
LP on Xing (XONG collection XX07) out February 2023, order at  https://www.soundohm.com/product/ehm-lp-white
Collector's edition available at https://www.soundohm.com/product/ehm-lp-art-edition and at https://shop.flash---art.it/products/canedicoda-renato-grieco-ehm

Xing presents the new LP Ehm by Canedicoda and Renato Grieco, seventh release of XONG collection - artist records. The release is on white vinyl, in a limited numbered edition of 150 copies. The collector's edition consists of 15 copies, each accompanied by a screen-printed robe designed and hand-tailored by Canedicoda.

Ehm bypasses the problem of articulation and meaning. Canedicoda and Renato Grieco, both also known under other artistic guises (Ottaven and kNN), are the sound forgers who have combined these spaces of presence and present in a paralyzed intersperse. A composition in the making, sensitive, which almost builds itself. Backgrounds of the environment, silence and noise ferment in a flow of micro-dynamics, moments of intangibility and turning nodes. Ehm is concrete music and tactility of hearing: powder sound. In that sleep cycle where the dream occurs only to be forgotten. In search of a non-narrative, Canedicoda and Renato Grieco propose stasis as will. A two-part suite, whose titles speak for themselves: A): "It is possible that the focus falls on an impalpable matter. I address the body of the volume, as if it could take and not take place at the same time. They are not hairs but teams." and B "Readily exposed to the cold and folded in three moments. A space, a sharp pain shrowded in the air: contact generates rustles. The sound of nothingness, the name we would like to give to void for a moment, rising beard."

Xong is the name of the new collection produced by Xing, a vinyl-only record label of works by both Italian and international personalities linked to the variegated worlds of live performativity. The collection explores a geography of artists who present this sonic field as a platform to expand their staged worlds. "The space of the record" is given focus and amplifies their poetics as both a sonic and physical phenomenon. Xong is a unique project that draws out divergent understandings of the performative and live arts, beyond genre and intersecting between different practices. Xong collects a series of original creations that constitute an expanded program. Each physical record is a numbered edition on white vinyl hosting the solidification of the gesture. A wave upon wave, a series of "Music-Non-Music" to actualize both the artists and listeners imagination.

Gintas K Zoviet France second one

@texturcph is proud to present The New Old, the first solo album of Nathan L. The New Old is de-composed chamber music on ketamine. The New Old is a performative practice based on improvisation and chance (& ketamine). The New Old is noise. The New Old is not noise. The New Old is an emotional act of transforming, of doing violence to the integrity of the original material as a constructive act of demolition.

The album surfaces from a unique and inordinate working process in which sonic material from various traditional classical instruments are shredded, forced into feedback loops, and mixed with recordings of crashing software, futuristic self-built instruments, and tender
manual processing. 

The New Old is the eighth release on Textur, a non-profit label and music collective rooted in Copenhagen, with an ambition to create a platform for exposure, collaboration, and community among artists outside the commercial music scene. 

Nathan L. is a musician, composer, and visual artist who thrives in uncertainty and finds delight in the entropy of noise. Originally trained in classical flute, jazz composition, and arrangement, L. is now involved in various experimental and genre-breaking contexts spanning improvisation, electronics, installation and performance.

Format: Digital 
Release Date: April 21st 2023

Virtual Debris ~ Beyond (Snippets)

Wet and muted
I breathe the air
heavy like rain
we sit quietly
feeling the timbre
of echoes
and the fragrance
of atmospheres
before they were clouds
I look into the stream

For piano and tape:

Lerkenfeldt explores minimalist structures with stillness and intensity. Her imaginative process is poetic and precise; distilling new registers in the field of consciousness through electroacoustic composition, like a torchlight in the dark.

Alongside classical instrumentation, she augments abandoned technologies into new hybrid forms through handcraft, digitisation and experimental digital processing. Flickering piano, tape systems and their spatialised distortions unfold in repetitive motifs on With Water Up To Her Knees. In Before They Were Clouds, multi-layered acoustic refractions speculate on atmospheric systems.

With Water Up To Her Knees is produced by Shelter Press in small series cassette single edition and digital with a limited pullout poster and poem by the artist. The work has its world premiere at eminent electronic arts centre The Substation, Melbourne on 24-25 November 2022, with a hybrid performance in collaboration with filmmaker Tristan Jalleh.

Written and recorded on unceded Wurundjeri and Boon Wurrung country, Summer 2022.

“I love the sound of mechanical failure, when the sophisticated machine collapses into itself.”

"One of my alltime favourites" (Felix Kubin)

"Truly unpredictable, you never know where any given tune is heading, or which stylistic outfit he is going to whip out next from his magic trunk of disguises. He makes it look easy, but you can bet there’s 500 kilograms of sheer talent and hard work behind his every move. Recommended! " (Ed Pinsent - The Sound Projector)
