Far far away in the infamous Saint-Etienne Kingdom live and breath Anouar Redjem Cheibane, Guillaume Lamorte & Jacques Satre. The three members of Le Marais surfaced from the gloomy waters of 2020 fall to gather balearic, folk, new age and ambient trance inspirations over an amazing eponymous LP on French Besoins Premiers.

Following the label taste in flowery, poetic music (with Organizatsiya's 'Strane Leoni', Lenny Frings' 'Ontological Outlines' or Modeux des Cieux's 'Constant Run'...), the trio definitely defined its own touch with this 11-track release, made of dreamy synths, autotuned lyrism & spoken words, tremendous electric guitar leads and nebulous sounds, set against an ogre-and-fairy-tales medieval background.

300-vinyl edition to be released during the summer:

Hey! How was your summer? Did you manage to pass through the tracks of travel restrictions before another gloomy fall? No? Then wipe away your tears and board along Bamboo Shows’ next release, from Brussels-based Naomie Klaus.

Through her ‘A Story of a Global Disease’ debut-EP, the French Producer offers us a tale about the artificial paradises of globalization, a melancholic stroll through the exotic relics of free trade, where appearances matter more than knowledge. Here, geishas eat fries, Europeans confuse Tokyo with Beijing, tribal ceremonies start with drum rolls and exotic travelling dreams are fulfilled on ephemeral food courts.

Treat yourself on November 3 with the last dose of sunshine for 2021, thanks to this 6-track floral EP of exotic wave, synth-pop and dub on a flashy-pink cassette, limited to 40 copies only.

Release Infos:
Limited-edition of 40x C32 pink tapes, including download code and cherry flowers.

Pre-order : https://stereogramme.bandcamp.com/album/interactive-pictures-vol-2

"Stéréogramme returns with the second opus of his “Interactive Pictures” series. Walking the same road as last year, paved with new age, freak folk and leftfield synths, the Paris-based label also ventures to new paths like minimalism, no wave and vocal experimentations. Once again divided in two musical panoramas, this 11-track tape will definitely bring back your happy childhood memories to the surface. First, take a nap with the soothing lullabies of Héron Cendré, Peter Graf York, Les Echos Primitifs, Lamina & Bravo Tounky, only to be interrupted by Ronan Riou’s feverish contribution. Then, hear the spooky, harebrained stories of Aymeric de Tapol, Leoni Leoni, Houschyar, Geier aus Stahl, Zad Kokar and Firmaet Forvoksen. In short, another marvelous line-up gathered by head-honcho Rako, who made its specialty of unearthing spontaneous yet skillful compositions. 
So, stay on the lookout until July 7, 2023 and entertain your inner-child’s fertile imagination via “Interactive Pictures Vol. 2” and its limited-batch of 100 cassettes offered in different artwork versions designed by Structure Bâtons.

Various Artists - Interactive Pictures Vol. 2 (Previews) - OUT NOW

You Found Me

Personal Wastelands is an album rooted in contradiction. Although FOQL and Fischerle are both based in Poland, these two artists—who are working together here for the first time—come from distinctly different backgrounds. FOQL, a former member of the groundbreaking Oramics collective who’s currently a part of SHAPE’s 2020 artist roster, usually operates in the margins between IDM and industrial, while Fischerle, a sonic nomad who heads up the Pawlacz Perski label, is someone whose detailed creations routinely bust through established notions of genre.

Forged over the course of a few sessions in FOQL’s Warsaw studio, the album began with improvisation, as the two artists—armed only with two identical drum machines—gradually discovered some remarkably potent common ground, a nebulous "wasteland" of bleak atmospheres, hypnotic dub and corroded rhythms. There’s a bleakness to the music, yet the album's percolating percussion and robust basslines—which nod toward the more experimental end of the UK hardcore continuum—are downright lively, even when they've been slathered in sludgy reverb. Like many releases on Paralaxe Editions, Personal Wasteland defies easy categorization, but despite its many contradictions, it's a compelling document of what can happen when two exploratory talents join forces and simply let their creativity run free.

Personal Wasteland

Swimming Pool 2.0

Artist: Frank Bretschneider
Album: abtasten_halten
Label#: faitiche21
Format: LP/DL
Release: Sept 18th 2020

Faitiche is delighted to present a new album by Frank Bretschneider. abtasten_halten was made as part of the raster.labor installation first presented at CTM Festival in 2019. It is perhaps the most radical work in Bretschneider’s distinctive oeuvre: abtasten_halten is a self-generating composition for synthesizer modules whose sole sound source is the movement of two VU meter needles. The resulting percussive sounds coalesce into rhythmic combinations – all random, without repetition. The album resembles a meditation on infinite rhythmic variation. abtasten_halten is Frank Bretschneider’s first release on Faitiche.

"One sound can give birth to thousands of tones through self-fertilization." Pierre Henry, 1982

Frank Bretschneider on abtasten_halten:
abtasten_halten (sample_hold) is a largely self-generating composition for a modular synthesizer system. Self-generating here means that as soon as a current flows, the various modules interact, but within limits set by the composer via the connections between the modules (patches): timing, tempo, timbres, dynamics. These conditions are kept variable to a certain extent or left to chance, so that the composition created is always similar but never the same. On the one hand, the use of random generators opens up possibilities that would not otherwise have been considered. On the other, it offers the fascination of the unfinished and the unique: totally unexpected musical events that you might hear only once.
abtasten_halten combines my preferences for percussive music in general and electronic music in particular. Largely avoiding repetitive structures, the piece is more like a free improvisation, quiet and diffuse, but also extremely dense, in ever-changing contrasts and transformations.
The tone generators are two modified VU meters whose needles, driven by trigger impulses, create a simple one-bar pattern by hitting against a metal spring that is connected to a piezo element (thanks to Gijs Gieskes / Gieskes.NL). The tempo is continuously varied over a period of about ten minutes by several mutually modulating LFOs, ranging from about 0.06 Hz up to the lower audio range of about 18Hz.
The percussive sounds thus obtained are then passed through low-pass filters with moderate resonance and random frequency modulation to additionally colour the sound. Further processing is then executed by an echo module whose tempo and repetitions are again determined by random parameters. Finally the audio signal is occasionally enriched with reverb to add more spaciousness to the sound.
The concept for the installation raster.labor was developed by Olaf Bender, Frank Bretschneider and David Letellier. Many thanks to raster - artistic platform.

On Frank Bretschneider:

Frank Bretschneider works as a musician, composer and video artist in Berlin, making mainly electronic work based on complex rhythmic structures and interlocking textures, whose many-layered sound is inspired by the experimental set-ups of modern physics, often supplemented by perfectly synchronized computer-generated visualizations. In 1986, he founded AG Geige, one of the most influential underground bands in East Germany. In 1996, he co-founded the label raster-noton and has since released many solo albums.

@organizatsiya

An extraordinary twilight world opens while listening to Organizatisya. Adventurous yet humble, they push the limits towards the unknown. One thing’s for sure, it’s fresher than the juiciest peach on a perfect summer day. 
Organizatsiya hail from Lyon, France. Leo and Zoe clearly have strong roots in folk and acoustic music. These ‘old worlds’ blend in surprisingly well with more contemporary digital, futuristic sounds. Soothing analog recordings meet hyperdigital compositions reminiscent of IDM creations and peppered with spoken words that dance around in unexpected ways.
Seductive, intelligent and deeply hypnotic, this esoteric material delivers a dreamlike experience.
Like finishing a game and celebrating victory with cheap champagne in a neon light lit bubble bath with the end tune of The Legend of Zelda in the air. 
With Maxime Bisson on bass, and several great contributions by guest musicians on this record. Designed sleeve and printed inner sleeve by Guilhem Prat.

Release date: 12 October

Pre-order

Organizatsiya - À l'ombre des roches [album preview]

Paralaxe Editions is based in Barcelona, and Ylia (a.k.a. Susana Hernández) has long been one of the city's most well-regarded musicians. A classically trained pianist who came of age DJing breakbeat raves in Andalucia, she easily maneuvers between disparate scenes and styles; she's as comfortable dropping electro and techno records as she is performing alongside experimental flamenco artist Niño de Elche (she's a member of his touring band).

Following her appearances on labels such as Lapsus and Hivern Discs, Dulce Rendición is Ylia's first full-length effort, a cinematic collection of meditative and richly melodic tracks that largely grew out of her intimate live sets. Weaving together analog synths, field recordings and fragments of her own voice, much of the music was directly inspired by her dreams—and more specifically, the seemingly impossible sights and sounds that populated them. Working to recreate their lingering silhouettes in the light of day, Ylia oscillated between moments of deep introspection and playful fantasy as she settled into the hazy space between sleep and consciousness.
