Derek Carter (KapTep) about Music for Migraines:

"The concept for Music for Migraines began with a track on my debut release Overcast on Chitra Records in 2023 (chitrarecords.bandcamp.com/album/overcast). At the time I was putting the album together, my intention was to do several songs on the album in that vein, hence the aptly titled Music for Migraines (Part 1). This is music to slow the mind down, relax, heal, and mend. For one reason or another, I never got back to the creation of additional MFM tracks for that release.

Fast forward to the summer of 2024, I began revisiting the concept. This time the idea was to do an EP. Around that same time, I was talking with Brannan Lane and pitched the MFM concept and the idea of collaborating on this as an EP. Brannan agreed, and we set out on the journey. We started out thinking perhaps 2 or 3 original songs plus a remix. However, what followed was a flurry of creativity as we quickly exchanged wavs, stems, edits. The end result was 7 original songs and 4 remixes.

Helpfully you will find this album to be a step towards healing, a breath of fresh air, and just what you need to slow down the mind. Lo-fi Ambient if you will.

I’m very proud of what we accomplished. I certainly could not have done this without Brannan whose help and skills with music production, mixing, and all-around professionalism are unmatched.

A big thank you also goes out to those artists who were so generous with their time to provide remixes. Each artist brought a different view and expertise to the project.

Thank you Le Code, Dionisaf, Metric System 1981, and v e n n".

After a long wait, Etang Brulant is absolutely stunned and delighted to bring you serbian musician Zhe Pechorin and her new solo release, « Boundary Lessons ». After several appearances on Various Artists these past months (Amek, Minor Adjustments...), a 20 minutes live jam released on Ōtium and a cassette on Holy Geometry two years ago, « Boundary Lessons » seems to crystallize the mental universe and her thoughts network in a touching and highly personal way.

Using deep pads and pristine synths drowned in an ethereal reverberation without ever slipping into a cacophony of lost or forgotten frequencies, the melodic composition of Zhe Pechorin demonstrates a calm and peaceful state of mind, yet torn apart by an overwhelming melancholy, sometimes subtly pulled out of its torpor by noisy addings and the discrete trespassing of damaged leads. Through the listening of the whole album and the meaning of titles, one can feel a strong sense of loss ; almost a mourning process or a heavy nostalghia, adhesive to the skin and the mind and dangerously craving for recognition. Homesickness of an unknown time, of an unknown land, of an unknown past - or a real and more painful impression of regret, one can choose the shape of its interpretation.

Enshrouded in high-pitched static and elusive fumelike oscillators come "Sundowning", a new mini-album signed by Preston Weippert's most prolific alias, aka Volunteer Coroner. Co-founder of the Colorado-based Trust Collective label, Weippert's music vectors a collection of desolate murals often painted with industrial-grade fuel. A low-resolution picture of oil fields burning from your window seat. Closed eyelids against the sun, into the red.

Volunteer Coroner - A Token Saved From A Previous Life

Presented as a re-creation of two live sets performed in 2019, Patrick Gallagher deftly melds field recordings, a "fairly standard" synthesis toolkit, and prepared electric guitar into two peerless electro-acoustic compositions comprising his debut album for ENXPL (enmossed x psychic liberation).

As the album's title implies, "Set In the Bardo" embraces indeterminacy in all respects. An extreme range of timbrel variety and complexity is employed, from pure sine waves to nearly-incomprehensible sonic blasts. With a formal education in mathematics, Gallagher's astute arrangements modulate between smooth glissandos and abrupt interruptions, reflecting the compositional process used: salvaging hitherto-abandoned recordings and live snippets from the artist's archive. Post-processing was eschewed on the album in order to preserve the improvisatory nature of a live performance, giving an organic quality to the album which is often lost in academic compositions.

While "Set In the Bardo" was created in pre-pandemic times, it also functions well at this particular juncture of history. We have been 'set in the bardo' ourselves, and Gallagher has made an engrossing set of pieces - encapsulating and unfolding sonic uncertainties as we venture through trying times. Well worth many listening sessions; high volume and high fidelity during playback are recommended.
