minimale / technonebuneli

As per the junto instructions, I downloaded the Haydn track from where I would find my samples. I chose 4 samples, which was maybe a bit extravagant, but what do I know about minimal techno? I used Live's 'impulse' to create the actual beats using small snippets of the chosen samples. The rest were pitch shifted, stretched, filtered and compressed to varying degrees.  It runs at 125 bpm.
--this one was really fun for me, having never made techno before.
---Spawn of Slithus is an old b-movie that remains a legend in my past though I have never seen it and don't know if there was an original Slithus.

****************

The Dwarfs of East Agouza is a trio from Cairo, Egypt, featuring Maurice Louca (Alif, Bikya), Sam Shalabi (Land of Kush, Shalabi Effect) and Alan Bishop (Sun City Girls, The Invisible Hands, Alvarius B.).

Born during 2012 when the three were living in the same apartment building in Cairo’s Agouza district, the trio’s instrumental improvisation-based explorations are propelled by Louca’s North African percussion loops and shimmering keys, Shalabi’s West African tinged free jazz guitar and grounded by Bishop’s driving Krautrock-style acoustic bass.

Following many a late night jam session, the band recorded hours of material during a three-day studio run in April 2014. After compiling and mixing the album in Montreal’s Break Glass studio in July 2015, the refined result will be released as a double-album titled Bes via Nawa Recordings (NAWA005) on 2xLP, 2xCD and DL on 29 April 2016.

Named after the Ancient Egyptian dwarf deity who was worshiped as the defender of all things good and enemy of all that is bad, Bes captures the trio on a hypnotic yet unpredictable journey. From the the lilt of four-minute ethiopian tinged Resinance to the 30-minute free-form epic Museum of Stranglers, the album skirts the outer limits of a psychedelic soundtrack to a North African road trip.

Bes by The Dwarfs of East Agouza will be available on CD, black & limited edition coloured 12” vinyl LP and download, including Mastered for iTunes and lossless high-definition 24-bit/96kHz audio files.

The album artwork features a reproduction of an ancient Egyptian carving of the dwarf god Bes, painted by Egyptian artist Raafat Al-Kordy, designed by Iraqi-Palestinian graphic designer and illustrator Sara Sukhun.

For the 240th Junto, the assignment was:
Disquiet Junto Project 0240: Emerging from a Drone
The Assignment: Compose a piece of music in which a drone slowly, imperceptibly, gives way to something rhythmic and/or melodic.

I've been thinking alot about drones lately and am working on a new set inspired by the 50 cycle hum (I'm in iceland currently) and I decided to repurpose some of the material i've been working with.  

I considered what a drone is, as per the instructions... and interpreted what that might mean sonically... that, at least in the digital world, it's a series of minute samples which, when dissected and put under a microscope, are just a series of clicks. So, breaking somewhat from the assignment, my piece does not shift imperceptibly as such, but is rather a presentation of various drones and 'clicks' that make up music. it also contains some samples of natural drones, specifically, a recording of a waterfall in iceland (both granulated and not), plus a minute section of the recording of a small piece of severed glacier rubbing against another piece in the water. 
I also considered the ubiquitous 50 cycle hum and included a loop of me flicking on a light switch.
Some of these sounds will be heard in a performance to be presented and uploaded soon.

The Lyon imprint @hardfist strikes again with the collaborative Princes of Abzu EP, federating producers hailing from multiple horizons. 

A hedonist move, caring more about vibes and feelings than borders and nationalities. Referring to a mythological source that is the sea to every river, Princes of Abzu is a drop in a global culture expanding its currents to infinity.   

Producer and percussionist @shadi-khries is inspired by the desert, one place in particular : Wadi Rum, in his home country Jordan. He mixes traditional instruments like semsemeh (which gives its name to the track) bouzouki and oud, with electronic acid textures that makes it perfect for the club.

The King of Keyboards is back for a new album!

Forthcoming on Akuphone (AKU1019)
🕐 Digital: available now
🕙 Vinyl: November 21

Buy: akuphone.com/catalog/tfS6imcYr6s#content

Akuphone presents "Saz Û Dilan", the second solo album of Rizan Said. After "King of Keyboards", released in 2016 by Annihaya, this new release brings you the most exciting Kurdish-Syrian dance music to your ears. Surrounded by young local singers, Rizan offers his own interpretation of the modern dabke through eight original uptempo compositions full of energy.

Rizan Said is a composer, musician and producer, responsible for hundreds of Syrian recording industry productions as well as compositions and themes for television and cinema. Hailing from Ras Al Ain, in northeastern Syria, Rizan was a musical prodigy from a young age – a gifted player of percussion and reed instruments before a wealth of synthesizers began flooding Syria in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Steadfast on the Syrian cassette album circuit at the time, Rizan was already sending his signals out from the Jazeera frontier, thanks to a partnership with local Syrian producer Zuhir Maksi. Later, he was the man behind Omar Souleyman’s music and have recorded and toured accross the world with him. Nowadays, he performes as a solo artist and brings the original dabke dance sounds of Syria to European festivals and concerts.

Rizan Said (ريزان سعيد) - Yuma (AKU1018)

Promial is sourced entirely from the introductory notes of a Sailor's Hornpipe.  It is intended to envelope the sailor's tradition in the vast expanse common to both the sea and the drone of the bagpipe.  It was commissioned by the Community Radio Education Society's (CRES) Media Arts Committee in Vancouver Canada in 2011.  

Released in 2013 on Audio Art Volume 7, 8, 9

Fleeting Wax is a new label by Basel DJs Mehmet Aslan and Miajica from Alma Negra, whose fame has spread far and beyond Switzerland. The EP contains three striking edits from the reaches of what could be considered world disco in the widest sense of the word. It’s fair to say that this is the embodiment of a now-familiar Basel sound – all sultry playfulness, Turkish delights and sun-drenched pop-not-pop. The first is Tai’s "Schlager Edit", built on a combo of hypnotic Marimba-dreaming and that irresistibly sugary voice. Istanbul digger DJ Fattish immerses himself into the singer-songwriter wealth of his country. And label co-owner Miajica weds Italian cantautore passion to the dancefloor. With it’s first release, Fleeting Wax clearly lives up to it’s romantic promise: Unearthing forgotten relics and infusing sleeping beautys with new life.
