BDTA XCI - Nagrobki - Dla Grzesia

On September 21st, 2016, Leonard Cohen celebrated his 82nd birthday with the release of a stunning new single called "You Want It Darker". On October 21st, 2016, he unveiled an entire new album. That same week, the Canadian Consulate in Los Angeles hosted a listening event for the album. As part of the event, I spoke with Leonard and his son, Adam, who produced the album with contributions from Patrick Leonard, Sharon Robinson and a male vocal choir from Montreal. 

At 82 years old, and given his current health, this was his only scheduled interview surrounding the release. Accordingly, journalists from around the world were also in attendance. 

The entire unedited conversation is provided here as a historical document.

"Disco" 2xLP / 2xCD - discography and a whole lot of unpublished stuff out in 2018 to accompany the reunion gigs

Sanctus Iuda - Wolny wybór wolne życie

Composed by Martin K. Koszolko and Andrew Aaron.

The track started with iubar's Animoog and Soundscaper app recordings followed by Modus Op's live drums and Monologue and Octatrack sourced content. The vocal element includes excerpts from a private family conversation unearthing previously untold stories describing the hardship of the World War II times.

The legendary collective Clan Analogue celebrated 25 years of independent Australian electronic music-making in 2017 with the release of their 50th record, the new compilation album Coordinate: Collaboration Beyond the Algorithm (CA050).

Already hugely respected for their diverse and innovative compilation albums, Coordinate: Collaboration Beyond the Algorithm sees Clan Analogue take their most unusual approach yet towards putting together a release. Fifty electronic and experimental music artists from Australia and overseas registered to take part in the Coordinate project, each one paired up to collaborate with artists they had never met before. Their only instructions were to move outside stylistic comfort zones and to respond to the theme ‘beyond the algorithm’.

Coordinate: Collaboration Beyond the Algorithm by Various Artists

iubar project vs Modus Op - Untold (early mix)

All the sound’s fat and the juiciest original groove is always on the periphery. He is born in the backyard, in the underground, on outskirts. Proceeding from this I left Petersburg. For several months I made a number of musical sketches in the industrial Kirovo-Chepetsk and completed this experiment in the border Svetogorsk, among the moist forests of the Karelian Isthmus. 

Ghettojukebox is not an album, it's a finger pointing to what's going on. Eight compositions - eight metaphors for different, quite specific situations that took place in the Russian reality in the fall of 2017. 

If images, such as photography, can reproduce the moment, then the sound restores the experience of the moment itself. Any sound is born in the oscillation, the reality vibrates chaotically, and tongues shake the air of what’s going on, filling the space with feelings, giving birth to a deep, unique vibe, in a tangle of perfectly natural rhythms. 

My artistic task was to fix impulses and vibrations of the situation inside the situation and to transform them into the vibrations of your speakers. Using the natural plasticity of sound as a material, I made a kind of map, under which the listener has the opportunity to set foot on the territory woven from the material of paneled five-story building and the blackened boards of forgotten Russian villages. In the ratio of noise and silence to hear the mysticism of the forest, to feel people, dogs and the life of the Russian periphery.

Russian Outskirts - Bird On A Wire

A tribute to the Mars Opportunity rover, designed for a mission lasting 90 days but in fact lasting almost 15 years. The amount of information it collected in its travels has been extensive, this track in a way is envisioning the thought that if Opportunity had been self-aware, how would it have interpreted the majesty and loneliness of its surroundings.

**featured on Clan Analogue's new 'Intone: Voice Abstractions' compilation album**

Written and produced by Martin K using Yellofier on iPad. Featuring vocals of 13 months old Olivia Milla and Yellofier's samples.

A word from Martin: 
'I grew up on Yello's music and it's been also a huge inspiration when working on various Philosophy Of Sound and Koshowko tracks in the past. 

Yellofier is a 4 track pattern sequencer and working with the app was a lot of fun as it feels extremely intuitive and fresh in comparison to the modes of work available in a computer-based DAW. Yellofier is a creative tool, very good at engaging the right side of the brain which is best at expressive and creative tasks. That's my little theory anyway'

This SC page is no longer updated. iubar project is active elsewhere though. More info on new iubar releases is at: https://philosophyofsound.info/iubar-project

iUBΔR is an Australian collaborative project led by Polish-born and Melbourne-based music producer - Martin Koszolko, known for his work on electronic and indie pop music acts such as KOshowKO and Philosophy of Sound. iubar’s main area of focus is story-driven ambient with a hint of drone - created with a mix of analogue and digital instrumentation. Martin is also a sound researcher with a PhD in Remote Music Collaboration technologies.

iUBΔR ₱RΘJΞCT originally began in 2009 in Biala Podlaska (a city in eastern Poland) with Jaroslaw B's guitar recordings. In 2011 in Melbourne (Australia), Martin K took a break from producing @KOshowKO and @PhilosophyOfSound and started adding synth parts to Jaroslaw's existing guitar recordings.
Jaroslaw and Martin K have been collaborating since the late 90's when Martin K had released his first material, an EP with electro-industrial music titled BLAH2, under the name ZIEMIA (Earth), while working as the editor of Autonomista zine. Jaroslaw also appears on BLAH 2 in one of the tracks (for more info on this release visit: http://koshowko.com/releases.php).

In his live performances as iUBΔR ₱RΘJΞCT, Martin K utilises touchscreen and mobile music making technologies as well as site-specific audience sampling techniques which he has developed throughout live performances in Poland and Australia.
