taken from Nina Buchanan 'Sunk' NM009

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.

Nina Buchanan 'Waiting Game'

Our favourite bothy botherers Mac-Talla Nan Creag (comprised of Hoch Ma Toch, Other Lands and Lord Of The Isles) return to Firecracker Recordings, channeling ancient rites, the mysteries of the Scottish landscape and its elements through technologies both old and new for your listening pleasure.

This time round the archaeological work of Forestry Commission Scotland at Dun Deardail in Glen Nevis, and the links between that site and the ancient Celtic myth ‘The Sorrow Of Derdriu’ provided fertile ground for new exploration and response. Accompanying the music once again will be a lush booklet containing some of the stunning imagery that results from the work FCS have done there, all packaged and silk-screened with the usual finesse we've come to expect from Firecracker Recordings and their chief visionary House Of Traps.

Captured in part in a high vaulted medieval church, then in home studios, bouncing ideas back and forth over the internet, MTNC have once again drawn on field recordings, traditional instrumentation, analogue electronics and the simple power of the human voice to create a shimmering and expansive song cycle.

Whereas the first album was borne out of an intense period of field trips and whisky fuelled jam sessions in brochs and had a loose approach overall, the second is perhaps more focussed in its themes relating to the ancient tale - love, war, beauty and tragedy all intertwined - and they arguably go deeper this time, conjuring up something of the Fourth World feel, by way of the Firth Of Forth.

With additional contributions from Professor John Kenny - whose primal Zummoesque playing on a range of horns including a giant conch shell and a replica of the ancient Deskford carynx underpins several tracks on the album - and Eva Sutherland (daughter of Other Lands) who provides a reading from the myth at the very beginning, this is an album that not only carries the heaviness of history but also looks to the light of the future.'

>> Coming in late November 2018 as 2x12", CD and digital. Distributed exclusively worldwide by Rubadub.

In what could be seen as an effort to redefine or decode the core idea of the field recording as simply the aural equivalent of a photograph; the works of Zhuravkova casts an effortlessly clear spotlight on a new vision of nature. A nature which is connected and wi-fi accessible, a nature of which every part is browsable via satellite view in Google Maps. A nature which might never know true solitude beyond that which we project unto it. 

And yet our idea of nature as a place outside of society is inherently a definition of solitude due to its lack of people. One might have thought that the advances of modern communication technology would make us immune to solitude; as we are always a phone call, video call or text message away from just about anyone else. Does anyone even enter a forest without the safety net of a smartphone these days? However, the biology of our minds cannot be fooled - we are hardwired for physical contact. In light of this, the voice samples on Unseen only serves to haunt the album with a hollow presence, enforcing the notion of solitude. 

But this is not solitude of the desolate kind. While equally tapping into the emotional potential of longing, there is tranquility and harmony in the soundscapes Zhuravkova envisions. The opaque haze of these compositions keeps one grounded in their eternal presence. This experience which Zhuravkova aims to capture reveals an intimacy with oneself in our relation to the “nature” of the outdoors. However transparent the world may seem through the lens of modern technology, there is still the possibility of the unseen. 

Vision itself is a key element to Zhuravkova’s music; as her daytime job is as a video editor, she often draws from this experience when composing. “It happens naturally” she says. “For instance, as a visual story unfolds it has a rhythm, a picture, a sound, and a meaning. They come together to produce an image in one’s mind. People only hear sounds, while I know all the intimate feelings, which were put into each track.”

‘Bioschismic’ 
“Time becomes plastic. Your experience of time morphs................And when you come out of it, on the strong days right before the next scheduled infusion, all of that time compresses into blurry waves of noise.” Xeni Jardin

Time is defined by and within the human experience yet the dominance of ‘linear’ time prevails. We are inextricably linked with time, ‘Life’ is measured in time.

Depending on particular situations our experience of time can be elusive, appear stretched, accelerated, and on occasions all too specifically in synch with defined parameters. Audio recordings, film, Internet, and photography are some of the means by which we choose to mark ‘times’. Such documentary methods signify our need to externalise particular events and also to activate memories.

‘Bioschismic’ is created solely from audio and photographic documentation of Xeni’s time spent receiving chemotherapy. The repetitive drip drip rhythm of the toxic chemicals measured in precise doses over a specific period of time provide the prospect of extending (life) time. Time is the dominant force yet the effects of the drugs change the experience of time to a space that is other worldly - a different time zone - a schism within and for life itself.

Bioschismic

A spontaneous feeling produced by Zoé Couppé and Eo Eintu,
in 48h on the island of Skopelos, during the equinox storm.
Remember that the equinox is the time of year when day and night are of equal length. The spring equinox takes place in March
The track has been thinked, created and mixed in a car, and then represent how we feel inside it : in a box, so close yet so far from what you see through the window, protected from the outside, still in your home but finally at 3000km from it.

Our own writtings for...
I feel it starts again, Why does it go on?
Aujourd’hui les choses se sont accélérées, et, parodie de la vitesse, les avis vont de même.
Peu de doute, moins en tout cas -en est-il si sûr finalement ?- :
l’implication s’est vue,
au coin d’une altercation,
à l’ombre d’une caméra : pour une lutte déterminée,
par-là la perte d'un peu de soi,
