being inherently independent, experimental music is bound to deny typical vertical principles of power and censorship that we face today even more than ever, yet it can contain a statement of the opposite nature. as we prepared this compilation the russian invasion of ukraine escalated further, leaving us with less words than ever, but a stronger urge to retain a voice. we believe that music communities are able to offer their own responses to societal changes, no matter how quiet or deafening they may sound. 

Σ3 compilation features 16 tracks by our contributors, friends, and members of the team and we really hope you enjoy them for what they are. but the important thing is that beyond a sensitivity to unconventional sound and commitment to international music communities, all featured artists are defined by a belief in human dignity and solidarity with the victims of war. 

all the proceeds from sales will be split between the evacuation initiative helpingtoleave.org and help-freefilmers.network providing humanitarian aid and power generators for at-risk ukrainians

Ephemeral Sights

Lead single from Osaka, the third EP in my Japanese cities series. This track is a theme for a city so big that its edges are blurred, with a downtown that fizzes with sci-fi intensity. The track bathes in the neon that illuminates with an effervescence reflecting the cultural uniqueness of Osakans.

Vancouver-based composer Marc Junker presents his debut release in the Doom Trip catalog with "Prepared Piano 1.0," a collection of meticulously sculpted miniatures that foreground his varied piano performances against webs of high-fidelity sound design. While Junker’s music under the moniker R23X, along with that project’s frequent collaborations with Chicago-based artist Equip, find him exploring the traditions of video game music and vaporous sample manipulation, his work under his given name highlights his forays into film scoring and orchestral composition. In truth, all these disciplines are inextricably linked throughout his work, regardless of moniker. "Prepared Piano 1.0" welds the heart-string tugging drama of film music to the dynamic short-form narratives and uncanny valley synthetic instrumentation of video game music, all frosted with bursts of hyper-digital electronic texture.

Junker’s treatment of the piano as lead instrument manifests in varied roles, often within the space of a single composition: tiers of consonant glitched loops spiral around the edges of the mix; passages of lush melody swell into cinematic grandeur; dissonant interjections burst through and steer listeners down divergent paths. Junker cites the influence of the prepared piano experiments of John Cage and the sweeping neo-classical piano sketches of Hauschka. These forebears appear in Junker’s repeated curlicue piano figures and heart-on-sleeve melodic architectures as much as his detours into atonality and moments that treat the piano as a raw percussion instrument valued as much for its textural capacity as the notes it produces. Junker works in miniature on "Prepared Piano 1.0," with six of its ten tracks clocking in at less than two minutes. Like video game composers prepared for each morsel-sized track to loop endlessly during the game’s runtime, Junker makes sure to cram each mini-narrative with enough twists to form a sinuous arc that can withstand repeated looping, but that can still keep us transfixed with just one playthrough. Like the Playstation-era output of video game composers including Nobuo Uematsu and Yasunori Mitsuda, Junker delights in toying with the potential of synthetic orchestral instruments. Passages of vibraphone, music box, and violin take lead roles in his compositions, while orchestral string sections flow through chord progressions against networks of piano arpeggios. While modern listeners can be quick to identify a particularly evocative piece of music as a “soundtrack to a video game or movie that doesn’t exist yet,” "Prepared Piano 1.0" resists that distinction. It exists as music for its own sake, capable of flourishing in a vacuum of headphone reverie as easily as it can conjure scenes in our mind’s eye.

Vodkadanslaru

Feeling jeezisch on the blanket, almost feverish, like after a week spent in-between the four walls of those glamorous kitchens, where plates are too often turned upside down and when the door bells of the flat are ringing during the blue hours. With « Insomnies », Urinoir Désir is dropping via the imprint Coco Airlines a whole tape recorded during this forced time of internal contemplation known as well as «modern health policy in times of pandemic. » Here is the record of all that made by this kind and trustful person, known as well as Jean Çhâțîmenț.

Through the Roof

Us presentem amb orgull MASTER 22, el primer disc de PLOU PLIM, l'alter ego de PLOM. Concebut durant l'any 2022, la cara A està plena de micro-mostres d'audio extrany i mètriques impossibles on no saps si vas, vens o et trobes viatjant en un Hovercraft de cap per avall. La cara B, és una revisió totalment espitada i distorsionada d'un collage d'openings d'anime en català realitzat al 2016. En definitiva, un disc que us farà reflexionar si realment això és música o simplement la broma d'un tarat.
Aquest disc ha estat concebut per la banda durant una època d'alta activitat monàstica, on les relacions socials foren reduïdes a intervencions en recopil·latòris sonors proposats a través de fòrums online de música tipus shitcore, nu-breakcore, speedcore, noise i alt-dnb, i en contrast amb una quantitat de temps absurda dedicada a la burocràcia en l'àmbit educatiu. Si estàs cercant una experiència auditiva singular, surrealista i desafiant, no dubtis en donar-li una oportunitat a aquest disc. Et garantim que no trobaràs res igual en cap altre lloc!

The "Weimar EP" from singer/songwriter Albyrd is not only his first release under a new moniker; as his first self-produced record, it also marks one of many new beginnings. The end of the pandemic, the blossoming and withering of relationships - and of course, a tribute to his time in the city and how life's perspectives change. 

In 8 songs, Albyrd shows not only the range of his magnificent voice, but also how well soul and RnB can be interwoven with electronic music. With a feature from Miles Bonny, Mr. Lumberjack Soul himself, this tape is definitely one for the shelf.
