SHTO is a series of unique experimental acoustic open-air events, where the central element is the space between the sound sources and the audience, which is unusually large for musical events — at least 300 metres and more than a kilometre long. In it, ambient music dissolves and takes on new qualities, different from the original, and becomes literally tangible. Powerful sound sources which are far away and located on all sides of the listener create unusual effect — a person perceives music around him as a huge moving sound mass, as if he is a participant of a film or a dream.

Previously, a mix of ready-made tracks was used to give voice to the space. Now, more than fifty songwriters have collaborated on an ambitious collaboration to create a single piece of music based on rave culture.

Collaborators include Orphx, Umwelt, Denise Rabe, Avina Vishnu, DB1, Darko Kolar, Retina.It, Dave Phillips, Æthereal Arthropod, Heavenchord, Death Qualia, Rhytual, Ruptur3, Karim Maas, Planctophob, Sheepray, Sonar, Dr. SpaceKir, Emerald Tears, Forlate, Ugasanie, EyeScream, Paluca, Holy Similaun, Simone Giudice, Penistrate, Bazan Oforska, BT Gate X-138, Stayhomie, b. sukippin, Dj Aphrodite, Sogoyan Arsen, Diagnostic, Martin Nonstatic, Ladonna, Martin Goodwin, Zentrix, Kareem El Morr, Igor Dyachenko, Granite Shadow, Dino Spiluttini, Oblinof, 8ball, Alex Bau, main (void), N-Phonix, Furz.

IDA Radio: Changeless w/ Exploited Body & APEAK - 3rd November 2021

Although living in separate European countries, Akama (electronics) and Duplant (organ, electronics) have forged a strong musical bond on a handful of collaborative releases, often with titles related to nothingness, which, in turn, mirrors the minimal, contemplative drone pieces contained therein. As its own titling suggests, immobilité (“immobility”) extends their musical concerns, and distills them in an extraordinarily rich way. More textural than event-based, these pieces are exquisitely paced to complement their roomy, crackling palette. Starting from two points—Duplant’s minimal score and his own parts—Akama reaches for more synthetic sounds than she has in the past. Duplant has resisted being labeled as a Wandelweiser composer. There is an element here that’s more personal to this duo, even down to the ticking of a clock. immobilité is a purposeful new statement from two artists who enthusiastically acknowledge their musical kinship.

NTR026 - Ryoko Akama & Bruno Duplant - Immobilite - 01 "L'immobilite (n'existe Pas)"

On the long-awaited Exaptations, Toronto-based composer Nick Storring presents two highly textural, side-long pieces. On “Field Lines”, originally composed for Yvonne NG Peck Wan‘s dance piece, Magnetic Fields, a certain fragmented, uncertain openness is conveyed: a series of brief, dreamlike clearings are vignetted by pregnant silences or various levels of waking or sleeping states. Storring plays with a variety of tonal instruments that swell and tumble along while being nipped at by expressive percussion. Organic clusters develop within event-based sequences, stretching attention across multiple timbres and rhythms. On “Yield Criteria”, shifting drones move about like independent layers of ice on a lake in the dead of winter, slowing crumbling, sliding, and cracking in perfect harmony. Storring has written for dance and other interdisciplinary settings, and here he brings the delicate resourcefulness of a skilled accompanist, as well as a narrative sense that belatedly, profoundly blossoms.

The album's concept unfolds on the narrative identity and the postulates of Paul Ricoeur, where he says life is narrated, examined and retaken because we are narrated stories of the past and present. This involves the actual concept of historicity, understood as the capacity that history, like a ‘singular collective’ , has to give a satisfactory response to the aporia of past, present and future fragmentation. 

"Narrative" is divided into two parts: past and future, where a journey through childhood to adulthood is glimpsed. Identity could be said to be the story of an individual, evolving inner life, integrating a reconstructed past and an imagined future in order to provide life with some degree of unity and purpose. On the relationship between life stories and the adaptation, that shows that the term "narrators" is multiplied in several meanings; of redeemers from suffering or even adversity, and who construct life stories that present themes of agency and personal exploration. They also tend to enjoy the highest levels of mental health, well-being and maturity. 

It could be said that this work it's a development of narrative identity from the origins from young children to the articulation of sophisticated strategies in personal stories told in adolescence to the emerging years of adulthood, where feelings are mixed and wrapped in a poetic conflict between emotions-machines and organic echoes.

Hålbå - Untrue Love (Original Mix)

"An collection of short ambient jams recorded for the sake of fun, that I decided to share with the world in the form of an album.

Most of those are "one instrument one shots" as I like to call them. This mean that those were recorded using only one synthesizer / instrument (half of the time a Roland MC-202, and different modular systems for the rest).
You could think this as being the opposite of my Stazma project, everything here is very simple, minimalistic and repetitive (hopefully in a good way tho).

This album is also some sort of a tribute to everything non-linear and unpredictable in the audio world: analogue circuits, tubes,spring reverb, tapes, all those things that made those pieces sound as they sound.
A special thanks and homage to Vic Keary from Thermionic Culture Ltd. who passed away yesterday; nothing would have sounded the same without the Culture Vulture, rest in peace.

Anyway I hope you will enjoy this, I suggest you play this in your car while driving in the snow this winter."
