Since we started our Sound Postcards feature earlier this year, we’ve had a lot of fun in sharing with you our Field Recordings, Auditory Portraits and Creative Phonography. Recently we have invited a group of your favorite artists to contribute to the project, and submit their own creation. Here are some of the entries from Stephan Mathieu, Lawrence English, Autistici, Marcus Fjellström, Richard Chartier, Yann Novak, Clem Leek, Scanner, Loscil, Simon Scott and many more to come!

Stephan Mathieu – Two Clocks

Lose yourself in the circuitry of the original 1965 Buchla 100 with NYZ (Dave Burraston) as he utilizes Barbara Hero's Lambdoma tuning theories to create two slow, deeply layered, subconscious, organic and meditative compositions.

NYZ's split 12" with ELEH will be released at the same time as Millz Medz and both records are available in a first pressing of 500 copies.

David Burraston is an award winning artist/scientist working in the areas of technology and electronic music, operating Noyzelab as an independant art/science music studio since 1981. His experimental arts practice encompasses field recording, landscape-scale sound art, chaos/complexity, practice-based research, sound synthesis and electronic music. He performs, lectures, conducts workshops and creates art installations in Regional NSW and around the world. David also designs and builds sound synthesizers based on his theories of chaos/complexity science. He was recently interviewed by Bandcamp Daily and The Wire Magazine.

David has worked with many diverse collaborators such as Aphex Twin, Chris Watson, Doug Quin, Russell Haswell, Robin Fox, Oren Ambarchi, Sarah Last, Cat Hope, Garry Bradbury, William Barton, Alan Lamb, MIT Media Lab and the Australian Broadcasting Corporation. In 2014 he independently published the legendary "SYROBONKERS!", the most technical and in-depth interview ever given by Aphex Twin.

Leave it to Glyn Maier (fka Lack) to bring the perfect soundtrack to the malaise of our current pandemic. As you know, Maier is an ongoing contributor and collaborator of Blissing Persons and my personal projects as well, so it comes as no surprise he has brought his brand of haunted DJing to this platform once again. In this short but fierce mix Maier has disassembled and reassembled the soundtrack of the ever popular Silent Hill gaming series to offer a new age mood to our new world ennui. Arriving in at just under 40 minutes, this mix is not one to miss. Download, as always, enabled for all of your hard-drive hoarders out there.

Tomutonttu – Alku: puhtaat kädet

Composed in 2019 for the opening night of ZEZ Festival as part of a series of sound installations and performances and performed on April 10, 2019 at KSET in Zagreb. 

Large majority of pieces produced originally for the performance. There are sound bites and snippets from some tracks that have now been released — others that are yet to be — including the kanda blueprint series (https://soundcloud.com/n-obezg/kanda-insert-24xlii?in=n-obezg/sets/kanda-blueprint) and a rough early piece of mine at the end featuring a sample from the film Zvizdan. Performed entirely through remix/stem decks in Traktor.

The performance part of the evening also featured pianist Alen Ilijić, Branimir Štivić (Die Zoone), and the Ad hoc collective from the New Media faculty of Zagreb’s Academy of Fine Arts.

This recording premiered on the @Ambikronia radio show, broadcast on April 15, 2019 on Radio Student, 100,5 mHz.

Live at ZEZ Festival, Zagreb (Izložba zvuka)

A series of bleak, blustery scenes make up Nazanin Noori’s Farce. Noori, who also works as a theater director, conjures glacial storms and buzzing subterranean server farms on this album; but such scenes were far from the artist’s guiding narrative as it was being produced. The two tracks, clocking in at 80 minutes total, were envisioned as an enraged argument (or a "modular heartbreak") unfolding between two groups of people about a pothole in the road, told from the perspective of the road, and then the pothole.

This surreal, mundane plot device is nowhere to be found on Farce in any concrete way. And this is intentional. Noori, inspired by Artaud's concept of the theatre of cruelty, wants listeners to develop their own sensorial world separate from the musician's. When not darkly ambient, the tracks are full of drama and whimsy, as if a spotlight is following a character along a wayward path, into the hands of fate. The emotional hooks in the sound include a sense of desperate desolation, optimistic reprieve, and of course, the sense that ritual repetition is both a curse and a blessing—but they resist obvious imagery. Exactly what kinds of characters or settings get hung on the album's scaffolding is up to the audience. Listening with a hi-fi sound-system is highly recommended.

Nazanin Noori is an Iranian artist living and working in Berlin, Germany. Her work includes theater and radio play direction, music, and text. She focuses on atmospheric narratives in sound, and works to overcome cultural reliance on sentiment by making dramatic adaptations of non-dramatic texts. She studied theater, film and media sciences at Goethe University in Frankfurt and worked at Deutsches Theater and Schauspiel Hannover. She currently selects Acid Folk for POMP, a sound scenario series on Retreat Radio, and is an artist-in-residence at the Young Academy of the Arts in Berlin.

Nazanin Noori - IMAGINE ALL THAT FALL IN A POTHOLE ON A BEAUTIFUL DAY (ENMX09)

UVL is proud to release two new side-long compositions from Max Eilbacher. Edition of 150 three color risograph print.

Digital Sketch For Strings
One morning I had an idea for a string composition. The tonal colors of the strings would be constantly morphing between shifting intonations. A rising and falling spectrum of many different sonorities would construct a throbbing, living whole. The gestural and perceptive qualities of the stringed accumulation would exist somewhere between glacial and in constant motion. I ended up using saw waves instead of string samples or acoustic instruments, as I found the harmonics of a saw wave helped achieve what I was hearing in my head that morning.

Spectral Masking Room Construction
A work exploring onset partials on audio perception and spectral masking. I started with a woodblock sample. For me, the woodblock's harsh yet beautiful striking sound is complex. The short burst acts as an extremely salient and trepidatious sonic cue. After listening for hours to a single strike and performing in-depth spectral analysis, I began to hear and comprehend the strike’s intricate material composite as extending beyond its short temporal life. The burst started to exist as an impulse response. With each strike, information about the space in which the woodblock’s material existed for the recording was communicated. The room in which the wood was struck was just as much a part of the sonic material being heard as the wooden material colliding with one another. Synthesizing the woodblock sound from scratch turned into a minute study of individual partial’s attack and decay times. I used the results of spectral analysis and composed around the initial short strike. The pitches comprising the fundamentals and overtones in the sample were extracted in various clusters and used to create a few different digital synths. The timing structure of the sampled and synthesized strikes are controlled by a simple counting transform. By doing so I set conceptual throughlines for the variants of struck sounds. The many variations of partials being highlighted or sent to the audio background serve to imitate “fake” spaces in which these sounds exist and convey subtle architectural information to the listener.
