if someone else's selfishness produces such beauty..

Sha boom. Love the mood... shades of eno... shimmers of genius

Wow, this is great! Reminds me a bit of Tim Hecker, which is always a good thing!

I-kun No

"Singe" is the new record by Angelo Harmsworth, a musician who hails from the American Southwest and is operating now out of Berlin. Harmsworth’s work deals resolutely in extremes, but this music is not concerned with presenting binary or dichotomous relationships so much as it is with reconciling disparate sensibilities and sounds. Layers of meticulously edited and sculpted tones swirl around one another, creating kaleidoscopic patterns and hallucinated choral motifs that seem to thrive on amplitude or the position of the listener’s head. There is a visceral physicality to this music that aligns it with some of the core tenets of harsh noise, even while its tonal and timbral choices recall those of ambient music. This record follows excellent releases on enmossed/Psychic Liberation, Angoisse, Opal Tapes, and Harmsworth’s own Lime Lodge imprint and may be the high water mark of his published output thus far. There is drama and implied narrative in these seven compositions that seethes and hums as if reveling in a sort of violent gracefulness. LP/Digital available on 9/30/22.

Aporia (feat. Felisha Ledesma)

Floating in nebulous and sublime, @broshuda inaugurates his No Vacancy alias on @kinlaw's @ceramicslabel label.

The eponymous album strips his trademark sound down to a suite of minimalistic, meditative environments. This isn’t quite ambient, nor is it drone, but slots nicely into the German artist’s discography. 

Leaving listeners in a state of suspense, our premiere dials the drowsy, hypnogogic qualities up to truly mesmeric effect. Quietly cathartic and cloaked in lo-fi haze.

AIR Krew - 'Discuss and come back'
Format: Cassette, Digital
 Release Date: September 16, 2020
Artwork: Jesse Sappell

Hailing from Moscow and St. Petersburg respectively, Sergey Podluzhniy, Piper Spray and Lena Tzibizova come together as AIR Krew and share with us “Discuss and Come Back.” While floating broadly in Shoegaze’s orbit, the album charts a pretty unpredictable course from beginning to end, with an ornate sentimentality running as a constant from track to track. As in most cases, the words don’t do justice to the sound, the map really isn’t the terrain and you’re better off  taking the time to explore it all for yourself.

MWT004: AIR Krew, 'Discuss and come back'

Originally composed for livestreaming events during the ongoing lockdown of 2020, Felisha Ledesma presents two extended pieces as a debut album, “Sweet Hour”. Ledesma’s first full length release arrives after much experience in creating collaborative works with artists such as Isabella and Angelo Harmsworth, site-specific installations, and high-profile festival performances.

Both pieces were realized using a new software synthesizer, called “AMQR”, which Ledesma built for personal use in collaboration with Ess Mattisson. Contrary to many digitally-based compositions, a distinctly warm and organic palette pervades these recordings. An almost playful leisurely pace is employed, engaging the listener to listen deeper; the pieces gracefully evolve with special attention to subtle shifts in stereo field and sonic coloration.

The time-of-day titles illustrate the two distinct moods conveyed: "7:00 AM" integrates field recordings and a hardware modular synthesizer, taking the listener through a psycho-acoustic journey exploring various nooks and crannies of subdued auditory rivulets: perhaps a hidden woodland brook, a sunny glen, a crunchy gravel walkway. "2:00 AM" harkens to the memories of nightclubs, opening with a synthesized arpeggio which could lead into a dancefloor-ready stomper. But instead, Ledesma steps back, allowing the arpeggio to develop into an encompassing ASMR-like timbral massage. The two compositions are united in a slightly melancholic grasping for connection; are they unfolding or are they unraveling? Ledesma does not answer the question outright, but instead finds joy in superposition and sublimation - while creating a space for the listener to inhabit, to live in, and to re-connect.

Felisha Ledesma is a multi-disciplinary artist currently based in Berlin, GER. In Portland, OR, Ledesma co-founded and directed numerous organizations focused on experimental sound and community engagement such as S1 (an artist-run space) and the Synth Library (a lending library for electronic music equipment). Most recently Felisha co-founded Fors (fors.fm), creating "novel instruments that are elegant to use and adventurous in sound" in collaboration with Ess Mattisson and is studying sonic arts at Universität der Künste, Berlin.
