[ S O U L O N F I R E ]

An exclusive soundtrack by Nina Buchanan (Mel. Created for Ears Have Ears on FBi Radio Sydney.

Buchanan is a musician and composer, working across live performance, sound design and soundtrack composition for film, theatre and performance art. She mostly works with synth/keyboard/electronic sounds, with a fondness for improvisation, weird dance music and the areas between sound design and popular music. Her soundtrack for Ears Have Ears is called 'Everything is Faster':

"Everything Is Faster' is a semi-improvised experimental synth/dance track. The result of an ongoing series of improvised analogue synth experiments, the piece plays with speed and tonality to create relentless warped synth patterns over dance beats."

Debut release of hi-res, bare bones hardware techno from Melbourne-based synthesis explorer Nina Buchanan. Parallel to creating woozy extended synth pop jams in duo Video Ezy (Paradise Daily) as well as pushing dynamic textural noise forms into unique shapes in UTI (duo with Maya Kjellstrand of Bleach Boys, Leopard Leg), Buchanan has arrived at a precision nexus of brutalist techno and a truly uplifting style of ecstatic melodic synth riffage. Conjuring thick atmospheres and tonalities with almost blu-ray levels of vibrancy is perhaps in essence attributable to the simplicity of her chosen elements; 1 synth, 1 drum machine - the rest is purely incendiary sparks, resonating brightly in the spaces in between. For fans of Helena Hauff, Regis, Nitzer Ebb.

From the city that brought you LSD comes a new album by Marco Papiro, a Swiss-Italian musician and graphic designer who has gained some notoriety with his album covers for the likes of Panda Bear and Sun Araw. "Automare" is Papiro's seventh solo album, recorded on 4-track cassette, on hard-disk, in public and in private, entirely self-produced and now released on Nikolaienko's Muscut label.

The five hauntingly evocative tracks offer a variety of atmospheres from surreal to arcane, from celestial to subaqueous. Synthetic sounds (some mature EMS, Moog and Roland) are combined with other assorted instruments (organ, shehnai, electric guitar and bass,) and emulsified through various time-and-space-bending devices. There are no percussions, with one surprisingly groovy exception, in which a drum machine is being generously treated with phaser and envelope filters – think of early Cabaret Voltaire with a North Saharan touch.

Papiro's handcrafted artificial vocals are anything but human, but all the more compelling: out of the fluorescent Plankton of the side-long opening track "Rhenus Rebus" rises a siren's voice, reminiscent of Alide Maria Salvetta in Battiato's "Campane", joined in a final mantra by an oboe borrowed from an inebriated Third Ear Band. Entering a chimeric karaoke bar, the title track "Automare" makes the album even more bizarre by introducing a distinctive pop feel. Back to the abstract world, the following "Polmonella" – a live recording with additional musicians Anthony Glass (aka Antenna Tony Monorail) and Markus Stähli (of Roy & the Devil's Motorcycle) – is a fevery exploration of cosmic territories in the manner of Harmonia, while the alien articulation of "Incom" sounds unlike anything else ever recorded.

‘Re_Calibrate’, the companion piece to Donoso’s 2018 acclaimed album ‘Calibrate’ continues to obfuscate any clear definition of genre or style and continues to push his music into stranger, more complex and extreme territories. Equal parts tender and twisted, cynical and honest, beautiful and obnoxious, ‘Re_Calibrate’ shines through as a major point in the composer’s discography – and provides a glimpse into the new directions being taken. ‘Re_Calibrate’ is a challenging listen; void of any trendy tropes or appeal for consumers of watered down, homogenized and dogmatic electronic music.
A truly honest and original work in an ocean of clones.

I Like To Sleep - Circles

Avis de tempête est une création sonore collective née d'une déambulation dans les rues de Dinard, en août 2020. Les enregistrements de terrain explorent l'identité sonore de la ville : ses habitants, ses plages, ses cafés et ses parcs, ses cris, ses oiseaux et ses profondeurs marines. 

Ils ont été réalisés dans le cadre du workshop field-recording de Phonurgia Nova avec Félix Blume, par Aurélien Caillaux, Eric Mezan, Ganaëlle Maury, Gerald Wang, Grégoire Chauvot, Jérémie Faivre, Mélia Roger et Richard Federmann.

*live zoom recording

a mobile pocket opera in 4 movements

+4 radios (AM/FM) and 2 radio transmitters

Echoic memories is conceived as a singular long-form piece/audience experience of approximately 60 minutes, consisting of three different movements structured around the physical layout and performance spaces of Villa Romana. Each space acts as a movement, or 'variation,' of musical gestures that recur and transform throughout the piece, interacting with the changes in locations and instrumentation. It is a mobile performance where the audience changes locations and the different ensembles and movements overlap, beginning and ending their respective movements as the audience transitions between locations. This mobile interaction allows the composition to explore both the locations of the musicians in each movement's ensemble, and the position of the audience themselves as they move toward and away from the sound.

This piece is focused on audience experience and how time, sonic distortion, and spatial context inform our perception, amplifying and unveiling different elements and layers of recurring material. The movements act not as linear developments of musical material, but as distorted 'variations' and spatial transpositions of the same experience.
