Γ Ζ Ξ И ⅁ - Phase Angel 
DETROIT UNDERGROUND

The name of the album plays with on words and meanings. The correlation between an angel and an angle seems to be external , but the gap between them is not bigger than the difference between a wave and a particle in quantum mechanics.
It is known that the phase angle is the angle between the light falling on the observed object and the light reflected from the object, received by the observer. The origin of this light is a matter of speculation or belief, as well as the origin of human consciousness.

The "Phase Angel" is a metaphorical figure, responsible for the relation between intension and current, fall and reflection, movement and observation. 
This album is a story about the path and the search for meaning. What is the nature of consciousness? Are all our properties and actions spelled out by a global program code? Is our world virtual, by the way? May we be biorobots? Being confused by these questions, the mind continues its expansion, simultaneously with the whole universe, listening carefully to the stars with such a romantic longing as if it is the longing for homesickness. 
The album can definitely be called optimistic and equally disturbing, as we are at the same time, filled with both hope and uncertainty in the experiments of quantum physics.
These ideas were very delicately felt by a talented media artist Mike Iv . It is difficult to imagine a more accurate, relevant and excellent implementation of them than his video to one of the tracks of the album.
As for sound, the flesh of the album is, of course, phase shifts, multi-layered rhythms, an iron choir of electrical devices, their songs, their noise distortions under my close observation. )

”Let us unfold the animal outward: the bronchia will become a thick foliage, keeping its respiratory function, but in reverse, naturally (CO2 absorption), reversed also concerning color, from the tint of calves’ lungs to its complementary cabbage green. The digestive system will become roots, maintaining its role of drawing in nourishment from the outside environment. […] for each animal form there exists a corresponding vegetal form. The man who would find his vegetal negative and unite with it would restore the integrity of the cosmos.”

Vegetal Negatives is a game of sonic mutations, mimicry, inversions, and association inspired by a text called "On pataphotograms", by the French writer René Daumal – a quasi-metaphysical essay that toys with breaking the conceived separateness of natural forms through poetic imagination.

Marja Ahti (b. 1981) is a Swedish-born artist living and working in Turku, Finland. She has been an active part of the Finnish experimental music scene for more than ten years. Now arriving at her debut LP under her own name, Ahti explores a new formal language and sonic palette that ventures far from the path of her earlier work.

The four electroacoustic compositions on the album combine and arrange field recordings, electronic feedback, Buchla and ARP synthesizers, bowl gong and harmonium, textures of detailed acoustic sound, and sustained tones with gentle microtonal beating into a precise musical narrative. She juxtaposes recordings of rooms and empty vessels, natural and artificial climates, spontaneous and staged events. Ahti draws upon Annea Lockwood's ideas about associative movements between sounds based on shared characteristics and sonic energy. Her approach to field recordings is neither diaristic, documentaristic, nor purely acousmatic, but rather it starts out from somewhere in between these notions: the sounds hover between abstraction and the deeply familiar, moving into a realm of poetic metaphor where they are set in relation to each other, fleetingly mirroring or shadow-dancing. Acoustic environments mutate into synthetically derived shadow forms.

The opening track, "Coastal Inversion”, moves from a seemingly familiar seascape into an ocean of wavelike synthetic staccato patterns, turning itself inside-out on the shore, before diving back into a sea of resonance. ”Rooftop gardens” arranges a series of largely unprocessed field recordings into a dream-logic sequence of upward movement towards the clouds. On the other side, ”Symbiogenesis” brews a slow evolution of wet, airy and earthy sounds and resonant friction. The closing track, ”Chora”, imagines a meditative space of breath: filter resonance posing as organ pipes against a backdrop of breezy industrial hoovers merges halfway with a harmonium improvisation that foregrounds the frictions of the wooden instrument itself, just before filtering out into resonant harmony.

Tracklist:
A1) Coastal Inversion (12:14)		B1) Symbiogenesis (07:22)

taken from Simon J Karis 'Piovve' NM039

Simon J Karis returns to Nice Music with Piovve, his first release for the label since 2017’s Madrugada. Following from recent releases for Altered States and Vienna Press, Piovve offers up six tracks demonstrating the development and deepening of Karis’ obliquely emotive approach to electronic murk. Floating on clouds of tape hiss in smeared VHS fidelity, Karis explores a range of formal approaches, from the burbling monophonic synth lines and spoken text of opener ‘Infinite July’ to the four-on-the-floor kickdrum and wistful music-box melodies of half-remembered rave closer ‘Shale Pardon’. In between we’re treated to the drumless motorik propulsion of ‘To Think of You’, which calls to mind Moebius and Beerbohm’s Double Cut in its woozy rhythmic insistence before the mood is hijacked by a distorted devotional vocal sample that abruptly reroutes proceedings from the morose to the ecstatic. The opposite path is travelled in ‘On Ardour’ where jittering synth pads toy with euphoria before descending into pensive gloom. Across these six miniatures – each of which concludes with an abrupt cut to silence – Karis mines a vein where sonic experimentation and emotional reflection meet, crafting something uneasy but ultimately celebratory. -Francis Plagne

TR105 - Yama Yuki - 'Movimento 1'

A JazzaJ egy 2011-ben indított nyitott-zenei koncertsorozat. Olyan zenészeket hívunk meg, akik kizökkentenek a megszokott mederből. Ha akarnánk, se tudnánk őket egy kalap alá venni - free jazz, experimentális pop, elektroakusztikus improvizált zene mind felbukkan. Ami közös bennük, hogy a saját zenéjüket játszák, nyitottan a pillanatra. A közönség: alkotótárs.
. . . 
JazzaJ is an out-of-the-box music series presenting the evolving Hungarian improv scene in an international context. We believe that the double power of presence and listening generates a unique space where true communication is possible.
