Bichkraft - Neathriver Chain (House Of Feelings Remix)

Two track preview of the upcoming LP, Antologia de Música Atípica Portuguesa. Featuring Live Low, Negra Branca, Eitr, Gonzo, Luar Domatrix, Tiago Morais Morgado, Filipe Felizardo, Calhau! and Peter Forest.

Antologia de Música Atípica Portuguesa (Anthology of Atypical Portuguese Music) is a series of volumes focussing on new strains of Portuguese music with an (un)characteristic foot in the past musical traditions of the country. The aim being to re-evaluate its musical history, de-construct clichés and re-assemble preconceptions into a new and daring musical landscape.

Each volume will have a loose theme and will be comprised of Portuguese artists working on the fringes and not following obvious and commercial paths of musical homogenization.

Various - Antologia de Música Atípica Portuguesa (LP preview feat. Live Low & Negra Branca)

This project was a collaboration with Felix Obelix (aka Wendy Spitzer), which explored how vulnerability and openness plays out in artistic practice and collaboration. The experiment consisted of five consecutive days of musical improvisation from July 11th to July 15th, 2016. The improvisations were based on photographs we chose, which depicted different themes of vulnerability.

We used the photographs’ histograms (i.e. curves which indicate shadows, highlights and mid-tones in a
photograph) as our graphic score for the improvisations. 

In the improvisations Felix Obelix played different instruments, while I played live electronics.

Memorias Vol1

Ross Alexander - Wood of the Lusamba (from Memorias Vol.1 tape)

Iury Lech is a transdisciplinary artist of Ukrainian origin part of the few pioneers in the Spanish electronic and digital audio-visual scene that began to develop during the 80‘s. 
His open and unclassifiable style made of eerie sonic atmospheres, arrhythmic structures and dense textures create hypnotic ambiance and a new way to conceive experimentalism.
Wrongly described as New Age music at that time, “Música para el fin de los cantos” is a stunning and deeply emotive ambient work, that stares down at the eternal enigma, giving a glimpse of Iury Lech’s classical music of the future.
Iury recorded this blissful masterpiece in his Barcelona’s studio in 1989. It was then published in 1990 by the unique Spanish label Hyades Arts.
It’s 2017 and it’s time to unearth this magical piece of vibrating chords to please your sensitive yet hungry ears. Sit back and enjoy the meditative state.

B2 - Posmeridiano

Taken from "Trax Test excerpts from the modular network 1981-1987" 2LP/Download

'Trax Test’ is the first ever survey of Italy’s pioneering, visionary and influential label and mail art collectiveTrax, which ran from 1981 - 1987 as a network for the creation of collaborative projects. The collective included a pre-NWW Colin Potter and some of the earliest work from Masami Akita aka Merzbow, but also had deep connections with the art world; a few trax members went on to be be famous designers and artists -  Ettore Sottsass of hugely influential Memphis Group even guests on vocals on the last track of the compilation. The whole selection here is rare as heck and sorely in-demand by collectors, much of it now making its vinyl premiere some 30 odd years after the fact.

With credit due to compilers Vittore Baroni of Trax and Ecstatic’s avowed wave fiend, Alessio Natalizia (Not Waving) - who was also behind the Mutazione (Italian Electronic & New Wave Underground 1980-1988) - ‘Trax Test’ is a portal to the international scene which laid the grassroots for a proliferation of electronic music over the proceeding decades - a pioneering part of the infrastructure for independent music distribution which could be said to pre-echo the myriad social networks and platforms which exist for sharing music today.

As Frans De Waard astutely points out in the 16-page booklet, there were no ‘templates’ for this thing back then - as opposed to the forms of Soundcloud, Spotify or YouTube nowadays - meaning artists did everything DIY: from cutting, pasting and xeroxing their artwork to experimenting with recording techniques and disseminating their work; all resulting a wonderfully daring and freeform mosaic of ideas which valued the virtues of ostensibly ‘unfinished’ or open-ended work, when compared with more expensive, ‘proper’ studio output.

That’s not to say the music is a happy mess, it’s just that matters such as perfecting your mixdown or getting that hi-hat to sing just right weren’t a priority, whereas making and expressing something personal and non-mainstream were of upmost importance. These guys definitely didn’t have sync for TV and film in mind, or even dream of having their records available in shops. Rather they drew strength in their far-flung unity and counter-cultural resistance in a way that could still be learned from today.

Preview of Kink Gong's Xinjiang LP on Discrepant.
Since the end of the 90s Laurent Jeanneau has been recording the music of endangered minorities of South East Asia. Alongside his relentless pursue of remote exotic and unpublished musical traditions, he also started creating electronic versions under his Kink Gong monicker, by combining raw recordings with electronically treated sounds.
For Voices LP, Laurent based his alternate re-versions around the extensive voice recordings he made on location in the southern regions of Yunnan and Guizhou in China as well as in Sapa, North Vietnam and Phongsaly, Northern Laos.
Special vinyl one time pressing. Vinyl cut at Dubplate @ Mastering by Christoph Grote-Beverborg.

Our aim is to deconstruct, distort and re-assemble the lore of (un)popular music. 

Discrepant: inconsistent; conflicting; at variance [from Latin discrepāns, from discrepāre to differ in sound, from dis-1 + crepāre to be noisy]
