“Apocryphal Life” es un tema cinematográfico que evoca el ambiente de una serie de ciencia ficción y terror. Una composición de texturas sonoras en constante transformación, casi orgánicas, que generan tensión y misterio a lo largo del viaje auditivo. Cada capa evoluciona sobre la marcha, creando paisajes inquietantes y atmosféricos donde lo desconocido cobra vida.

Since its inception in 2019, the Porto based Eastern Nurseries label has released a string of noteworthy titles, yet the first two outings by Canadian Rifles, the solo moniker of label founder Rui P. Andrade, remain defining pillars in the labels discography.

These first two releases, Canadian Rifles ‘Eastern Nurseries’ album and the follow up single ‘Of Course I Still Love You / Geranium’ sprawl with acute emotive clangour and venerable opulence, their soundscapes conjuring visions of windswept cities, blemished technology and inherent tenderness. 

Now these works have been carefully reassembled on one expanded reissue, remastered by Daniele Antezza of Dadub mastering and featuring two new remixes by Dino Spiluttini and Burning Pyre.

Premiere: Canadian Rifles - All My Life I've Been A Star (Dino Spiluttini Remix) [Vaknar]

Compilations fulfill a task both delicate and essential of offering us a
perspective as concentrated as precise of a specific artistic context,
congregating many voices in a single place and, in the process, giving them a certain cohesion. “Ferramentas Vol. I” is what we have when an artist such as Martinelli faces this curatorial challenge and takes charge of providing us with a glimpse of what his peers are creating, while always having in mind what we will be doing. Here the core idea was to collect a wide array of qualities that could cover a
vast universe of usages: percussive bluntness with ‘c66’ by Kakubo and ‘Maria Ferramenta’ by Martinelli; sonic effervescence with ‘Sensus Lex’ by Letrícia and ‘Rebimboca’ by Zelada; rhythmic malevolence with ‘Discrete System’ by
Bad_Mix ‘ and ‘Thriller’ de b144; tonal bubbliness with ‘Glok’ by Dreams and ‘Confucian Scrolls’ and Xiao Quan among many other tools that flow through varied pH levels and types of groove. The overall result is a versatile set of useful instruments for anyone’s routine, as they encompass all kinds of musical delight -
be them personal, professional or passional, as long as we are listening or dancing.

Letricia - Sensus Lex

“Névoa” is the latest beguiling mutation from the Brazilian producer Naves Cilíndricas for Domina Label, where his shape-shifting sound design skills come to the fore as an ever-morphing, hyper-modern feature that never shies away from its highly affective if not androgynous paths; beneath its multicolored digital simulacrum, one can still find traces of human vocalizations next to fragmented robotic speech. Its ultra-stylized tones and somewhat percussive ghostly presence should perhaps be perceived more as sonically sculpted environments where one can navigate and drift through rather than tracks per se.

At times melancholic and ethereal but on the other hand hermetic and noisy, his melodic arrangements composed of digitally generated timbres and hyper-processed vocals evoke simultaneously dystopic images and videos in an attempt to extrapolate limits between body, sound, and image.

"Field recording, that cherished technique of electroacoustic artists, gets fresh conceptual treatment with “Eaves Drop” by Horaflora, one of the aliases used by Raub Roy (Oakland, CA). Using a Sennheiser AMBEO binaural headset, he collected a year’s worth of public and private footage, then collaged it with sparse, yet pointed, instrumentation. Straddling diarist and voyeur, Roy evokes and lingers upon questions about field recording in the context of surveillance capitalism—and the purposes of music made in its purview.

There’s kids’ playground babble. The artist striking a piano key on his porch, as a train sounds in the distance. Like rummaging through the NSA’s trash, these sounds are irrelevant to governments or corporations (for now), but fruitful for more generous listeners. The crow caws, the dog barks, the door creaks. And then a firecracker explodes, and you throw off your headphones as it seemed a real firecracker actually exploded just above your right temple.

The realistic yet aestheticized arrangement of sounds in space is where the dynamism of this album lies. There’s a moment of beautiful clarity when we hear a woman singing along to Jazmine Sullivan’s “Bust Your Windows.” Her voice, going along with the song that’s playing in her own headset, cuts through all the noise, making a poignant threat. But then she’s drowned out by some bureaucrat’s intercom as the album flows onward, each cataloged and collaged sound seamlessly shifting into the next arrangement.

Lines between composition and chance blur; the tapping on a snare, the languid strumming of strings could be read as a musician’s self-surveillance. The fact that these are recordings from the Bay Area, where he lives, is not coincidental. Such methods are at the heart of big tech’s empire, and though “Eavesdrop” is not explicitly confrontational regarding such concerns, the album does tap the sense that we, as privacy erodes and mutates, are becoming voyeurs of our own lives."
