Etched Traumas is more than happy to release Lord Havoc's work titled 'Futuristic Space Invasion'. A cosmic journey into uncharted territories. Celestial drones, low and high frequencies experiments in a science fiction lab.

Lord Havoc, or Rakun, or Jus, is a (dark) ambient artist from Slovenia. His ambition to make music comes from life, experimentation and science fiction. He has been making it for a few years, mostly experimenting, but occasionally deciding to do more serious music. Lord Havoc likes to read a lot, is a mudder and very interested in science, nuclear stuff and astronomy.

Lord Havoc - Dysthymian Nebulae [ET48]

This is the second release of Kaztalien for Etched Traumas titled 'September October November'. The work consists of three amazing naturalistic folk ambient tracks. 
Kaztalien is an ambient project from Tambov, Russia. He creates rich drone ambient textures enhanced with field recordings since 2010. Kaztalien appeared in the summer of 2010 as a single experiment with natural sounds. Later these experiments evolved into mono-project «ПБН» - russian acronym of «no name yet». The summer of 2011 was a period when natural sounds of this project were mixed with synthesizers and low drones. This new sound became the starting point of «Kaztalien». Main theme and inspiration source of the project is the coexistence of Nature and Civilisation in the modern world.

[ETS01] Yaws - Seventh Continent

We are proud of releasing this amazing album titled A Budget of Paradoxes by Canadian experimental music project Their Teeth to Points. The album title comes from an eclectic collection of fringe/alternative scientific theories, published in 1872 by a British mathematician named August De Morgan. The album can be understood as a kind of alternative science project in itself: both as an effort to make sense of a tumultuous life transition, and also because the five tracks presented here rely on custom sound effects and sound manipulation software which the artist has developed over the last year. The album cover art is by Sean Gadoury.

Their Teeth to Points - Limits were fettered [ET84]

The voice of the city 

A listener from an outer reality approaches the modern metropolis and perceives a version of the contemporary urban sound. Noises, words, roars, whispers and melodies merge together to construct the semi-logical language of a bio-mechanical, hyper-organism. This language is the mental space in which new narrations may emerge and old cultural symbols can lead to new unpredictable meanings. Further on, in this urban, ''post-modern'' space the listener may listen to a strange ''song''. The inner voice of the city. 

The dual role of voice as both a sonorous ''object'' and a facilitator of meaning, narration and verbal communication is crucial for our understanding of sound and music. Ipsissima voce plays with the exchange of roles between voice, music and narration. While the electronic and pre-recorded sounds overwhelm the narrative and musical part, the voice is reduced to either short musical signals or distant reminiscence of ancient languages and generic vocal gestures so that the end result becomes a kind of abstract, electronic ''opera''.

Unsample - Stricto Sensu [ET83.2]

“Utterings” is Lezet’s attempt at fake languages and sound poetry which should in this case lean toward the musical rather than the semantic. This offering is somewhat limited by content creator’s Indo-European language background and the phonetic peculiarities of his native language (Serbo-Croatian/ Croato-Serbian), but the texts and the readings should prove to be interesting and amusing enough in themselves. 
Any actual words used are unintentional. 

“Utterings” the third installment to “The Talking Trilogy” (consisting of “Hum”,”Histrionics” & ”Utterings”) 
You are cordially invited to record your own interpretation/reading of the included texts in whatever way you want (sing them, whisper them, shout them, read them…) and send it to us. We would love to be able to assemble an accompanying single we would subsequently add to this release as a bonus track/mix

Lezet - Squackett & Tooth - Music [ET83.1]

Winjer3 emerged from the Chicago area of the United States in 2013 with his cosmic blend of experimental electronic, drone, ambient, minimalist beat, and rhythmic noise sounds. He uses a blend of small analog instruments, virtual approximations of analog instruments, 
and a receiver of shortwaves to create his unique sound. Recordings are generally completed "on the fly" and in one take; in order to maximize the improvisation of the recordings. 

Winjer3 describes his main influences to be nature, the universe as whole, and the phenomena exhibited in both. There is a special focus on the more disastrous aspects of each influence, as can be heard in the details that exist within the sounds of Winjer3.

“Concrete Grain” is a combination of unusual field recordings, concrete sounds, processed acoustic instruments, sound synthesis, oscillators, noise generators, microphone modulation, FX pedals, turntable and vocals. 


For this project Noposorp also used the program Max/MSP to generate different sounds synthesis including: 

Granular synthesis 

Ring modulation 

FM synthesis 

Additive synthesis 

4 sine wave oscillators 
An oscillator represents the fundamental frequency, 
which is then multiplied in three successive oscillators using the following 
frequency ratios: 
9:8 (2ªM), 9:5 (7ªm), 15:8 (7ªM), 
“the most dissonant intervals” 

3 sine wave oscillators 
using the fundamental frequencies: 
F2: 174.6Hz B2: 246.9Hz F3: 349.2Hz 
tritone F-B (4ªA) “diabolus in musica” 
interval B-F (5ªD)

https://etchedtraumas.bandcamp.com/album/fiori-dimenticati
Etched Traumas is more than proud to release 'Fiori Dimenticati' the latest work of Italian artist Daniele Ciullini. The three track EP is an exemplary conjunction of electrified industrial and rhythmic sounds. Reversed vocals, huge electric stabs and brooding ambiance are being blended with well crafted rhythm patterns. In contrary to the sterile vein of typical Italian noise/industrial works, Ciullini structures 'Fiori Dimenticati' either on solid rhythm patterns or dark melodic soundscapes. Enjoy!

released September 30, 2015 

Beginning in 1978 with photography, Ciullini participates in the mail art network until 1980 and in several exhibitions and catalogs. During this period he also produces his own mail art fanzine 'The Oxidized Look' and participates in many graphic design issues by multimedia project Trax. 

Between 1980 and 1986 he focuses on music works with two self-produced tapes + booklet ‘Domestic Exile’ and ‘Nouances’. He also participates in various audiotape compilations, radio shows and vinyl compilations. 

After a very long hiatus, Ciullini releases in 2011 his first work 'Il bacio della sirena' – an audio cd given with the Italian art magazine ‘Bau’ and published by several netlabels. 

In 2013 London’s label Strut records selects his old track ‘Ancora Icone’ for the vinyl compilation ‘Mutazione’ of 80’s Italian New Wave and Industrial music. 

In 2014 he releases a new work titled ‘Musica per architetture abbandonate’, which is digitally distributed by Audioglobe. In the same year ‘Resti’ is digitally released by Quantum bit, Editoria do Porto, Ephedrina. Stato Elettrico releases ‘Virus’, a digital selection extracted from ‘Resti’ and ‘Sound Recycling Terminal (again)’ is digitally published by Nostalgie de la boue. 

In 2015 London’s label Ecstatic Records releases ‘Domestic exile – collected works 1982-1986’ a vinyl record including the homonym audio-work, plus all tracks that have been released on audio-cassette by various labels during that period. In 2015 Ephedrina includes his new single track ‘Ruggine nell’erba’ in digital compilation titled ‘Magma sound n.4’.

Created in 2013, 5158 is a collaborative project between Sound of Freedom and Arbee. 5158 km separates these two Canadian musicians. This great distance is not enough to stop spreading a common interest, across the land and the airwaves. Sharing a passion for electronic music, ambient vibes, and sound texturing, quickly evolved in this tangible project. Passion, imagination and music have no physical limits.

5158 - Colours [ET88]

This 'Untitled' work is based on the annoying tape noise & hiss. But instead of hiding what most of us dislike, I've tried to reveal their inner potential. 
Indeed, this raw & minimal material, after scultping , becomes an immersive soundscape made of intensity & introspectives phases.

No Way Out is a french experimental project active since 2009. Through the years the sound evolved from dark ambient to bruitisme, including neo-classical elements amongst many other styles (but mainly in the experimental field). But whatever the medium No Way Out uses, the soul of his projects remain the same. Each album must be seen as a new chapter of the same story.

Etched Traumas is more than happy to release the latest work of Nicholas Fair. Fair comes from Coprus Christi, TX and he is a prolific and talented experimental artist. He's been writing and recording short
instrumentals for thirteen years along with other numerous filmscore or solo projects, and bands. With more than 40 releases under various monikers in cassette, CD, DVD and even VHS formats his work is still versatile and unexpected.

The 'How To Get Lost In Your Bedroom' EP comprises of three instrumental tracks with electric guitar in a lo-fi aesthetic. Partly deliberately and partly due to the nature of recording media (cassette) and due to its age, a certain warmth of noise is being added to the final result. Despite the release title, one could close his/her eyes and envision the great American plains in a dry period, as depicted in the films of Peter Bogdanovich. Solitary and introspective; this is great music!

Nicholas Fair - New Decomposition (Slowed) [ET36]

Immersion. Fire. The surrounding nature engulfs us. Comes and goes. Have a glimpse on the likely dark chamber of sanity. Nature and human escapist scapes. Crow's ear. Immersion in the magnificent soundscape of Utu. The journey is cathartic, we endure and we endure and we endure...

Etched Traumas proudly presents Korpinkorva EP. Korpinkorva is a four-piece audio journey through life plagued by mental disorder. Blending acoustic instrumentation, organic field recordings, sung and spoken vocals with noise and sound manipulation, it takes the listener deep into the subconscious of Utu Lautturi.
Doom, anxiety and desolation merge with fragile moments of hope in an esoteric soundscape.

All along building a strong sense of communion with nature. Sounds and lyrics inspired by the ever-flowing cycle of atomic re-arrangement...the daunting, yet invigorating experience of being one with a chaotic, hostile, murdering universe...how it all binds a broken mind into wells of despair and struggle, yet invokes courage and relentlessness in the face of personal demise.

Korpinkorva is an attempt in making auditive sense of the senseless things within. It is a up-close and intimate reflective pool which hopefully reflects back when dipped deep enough into.

http://www.etchedtraumas.net

Etched Traumas is a net label oriented to electro / experimental / noise / ambient / breakbeat / abstract stuff. 

We feel like explorers; we travel light years in distance via unheard sounds springing from our lungs. Armed with a DAW, and a poor quality audio recorder, for new situations. There are rules to override, and wires to stretch. Capture the sound of stretching a copper string, an accidental breaking of glass and suddenly we are between mellowness and harshness, sadness and happiness. We are here to make a joyful noise, because all impulses escape stereotyping.

‘Our model is sound’, so lets go down and burn up the road. Leave your etched traumas behind. Because all impulses escape prototyping.

All ET releases are free for download. Please visit our site.
