Nut Nut - Prelude ( EP Wonderland ) 2014 // FREE DOWNLOAD

The Last Bloom

first track from upcoming CD.  

out March 25th on Dronarivm

order here: https://dronarivm.bandcamp.com/album/branches

Branches came into being during a long time planned project between Tui (Orla Wren) and Cyril Secq (member of the band Astrïd). Having worked together when Cyril contributed guitar to the Orla Wren’s previous albums the idea then formed to do something further and even more collaborative. At the same time, Cyril had recorded many guitar parts, as a ‘solo’ project, that had never been released. And they were the basis, the bones for Orla to work, completely free.

It’s a duet between acoustic strings and processing, field recordings, edits and organic arrangements. This music is steadily ramifies, growing out of itself like a wild tree. The tunes woven together and untwine again as a branches shaken by the wind. It sounds focused, calm and distinct. Although everything has been done in distant places (France and Scotland) the result sounds like two musicians experimenting in the same room, sharing their background and culture.

The beautiful photographic work from Spanish born Nieves Mingueza brought the whole project together in the form of these two very special editions of Branches.

Enter the all-encompassing universe of Everything, a score by Ben Lukas Boysen and Sebastian Plano – available worldwide via Erased Tapes on July 28th 2017.

Game creator David OReilly has built an interactive world for you to explore at your choosing. Whether you decide to take the role of a microbe inside a plant in the desert, or a star in the furthermost galaxy, each layer of the game is coated with ambience which takes the simulation even further into the limitless boundaries of each world. Composers Ben Lukas Boysen and Sebastian Plano have shaped this experience with their intricate 4-hour soundscape, alongside the continuous narration by philosopher Alan Watts. 

Though the score has an important part to play in heightening the atmosphere of the game, it has the capability of being a standalone album – carefully sequenced down to a 10-track selection by label founder Robert Raths. There is a considerably therapeutic quality about it, allowing the audience to transcend into a meditative state, which is what makes it a perfect partner for Everything. The music is a whole world of its own, yet part of the game’s universe.

Words from Ben and Sebastian, April 2017:
 
“Composing something quite modular yet coherent that connects with the idea and fabric of the game was quite a task. We discussed many approaches, from really mathematical and direct, to abstract and philosophical, and we ended up with a mixture of both. Every element depends and builds on another and connects to previous and following songs. May it be on a compositional or on an abstract and conceptual level, the game and the music follow the same path and shares almost the same inspirational DNA.“ — Ben Lukas Boysen

"Working on the soundtrack has been a truly inspiring collaboration. What fascinates me about the game is the self-exploratory approach it allows the player to experience; there is no purpose other than just being. This concept gave us wonderful freedom in searching for sounds and ideas that would fit the game. Throughout the score there is a subtle level of drama which gives depth to the game, yet the music never becomes predominant taking the player away from the main experience of being anything. Honest, simple and beautiful, Everything has been a rewarding creative journey to contribute to." — Sebastian Plano

The cover image features multiple components of the Everything universe, meticulously pieced together by David OReilly himself, in collaboration with designer Torsten Posselt at FELD.

“Creating the score for Everything was a colossal undertaking. Its scope is as wide as the game itself. The music encompasses a vast range of sound and texture, held together by the immense skill and talent of Ben Lukas Boysen & Sebastian Plano. Together they created an extraordinary library of music which gives this game great dignity and depth, and elevate the experience beyond what I could have imagined.” — David OReilly

Ben Lukas Boysen & Sebastian Plano - Winding And Unwinding

GEOMANCER is a megalithic audiowalk by Lucie Tuma as her feminist sci-fi alter ego Amber Tardis, developed together with Laura Endres on site for Parc La Mutta in Falera (CH) a small village in the Swiss Alps. Falera hosts a menhir site and has been inhabited for 3500 yrs. The audiopiece walks through different temporalities and layers of mulitpresence, celebrates femshui narratives and consists of some ancestral dancing based upon astronomical scores in Falera at sunrise 21.07.2018 with Amber herself.

GEOMANCER is a commission work for TEK TO NIK festival during Sardona World Heritage 2018

More Audible Sounds from InSight's Seismometer on Mars

Listen to data from the air pressure sensor on NASA's InSight lander, indicating wind blowing by on Mars. The data were sped up by a factor of 100, shortening the duration of the recording and shifting it up in frequency 100 times (a little more than six octaves).

Sounds from InSight's Pressure Sensor on Mars

This audio illustrates a seismic event detected by NASA's InSight spacecraft on April 6, 2019, the 128th Martian day, or sol, of the mission. Three distinct kinds of sounds can be heard, all of them detected as ground vibrations by the spacecraft's seismometer, called the Seismic Experiment for Interior Structure (SEIS): There's noise from Martian wind; the seismic event itself; and the spacecraft's robotic arm as it moves to take pictures. News release: https://go.nasa.gov/2VmCkdS
 
This event is the first likely marsquake recorded by the InSight team. Several other seismic events have been recorded but are much more ambiguous than this signal.
 
The audio underscores just how seismically noisy the Martian surface can be and was produced from two sets of sensors included with SEIS. You can hear sounds from the Very Broad Band sensors from your left speakers and sounds from the Short Period sensors from your right speakers. Audio from both sets of sensors have been sped up by a factor of 60; the actual vibrations on Mars would not have been audible to the human ear. Playback on headphones or speaker system recommended for best experience.

Norient-Podcast: Julie Semoroz über ihre Installation in Schopf N°8 am Festival «KLANG—MOOR—SCHOPFE»

by Theresa Beyer

www.juliesemoroz.ch

Julie Semoroz ist Sängerin und Klangkünstlerin. Ihre Werke basieren auf verschiedenen Quellen wie Feldaufnahmen und ihre eigene Stimme, welche sie mit elektronischen Mitteln weiterentwickelt. Das Resultat: Musik für einen Roadtrip, der Licht ins Dunkle bringt, bis tief in das eigene Unterbewusstsein. Irgendwo zwischen kultureller Innovation und politischer Vereinnahmung. In aller Kürze: Musik für uns – die postindustrielle Konsumgesellschaft.

Schopf N°8: Julie Semoroz

A recording of sounds created by InSight's robotic arm as its camera scanned the surface of Mars on March 6, 2019, the 98 th Martian day, or sol, of the mission. Also captured are wind gusts and "dinks" produced by friction inside of InSight's seismometer, called SEIS.

Sol 98 SEIS Spatialized Reflective

A recording of a magnitude 3.3 marsquake from InSight's seismometer, called SEIS. This quake was recorded on July 25, 2019 (Sol 235). Far below the human range of hearing, this sonification from SEIS had to be sped up and slightly processed to be audible through headphones.

Quake Sol 235

A recording of "dinks and donks," strange sounds created by friction inside of InSight's seismometer, called SEIS. Scientists aren't entirely sure what causes each of these sounds, by they are created by parts inside the seismometer contracting as they cool down, especially during sunset. These were recorded on just after sundown on July 16, 2019 (Sol 226).

Tsembla - Nouskaa Henget LP
Available June 24th 

Tsembla is the musical work of Marja Johansson, a Swedish-Finnish
artist operating out of Turku, Finland. Utilizing a wide range of
instruments, electronics, objects and manipulated samples, the music
of Tsembla rides on waves of warped melodies, fluttering rhythms,
abstract voices and mutating textures, crossbreeding the known and the
imaginary.

Nouskaa henget (Spirits, rise!) is her third release, after the 7”
Tuplafiesta, released by Jan Anderzén’s Vauva label in 2009 and the LP
Fauna on the Finnish Ikuisuus label in 2011. Loosely assembled, rough
edged compositions, rich in details, come together into odd
instrumental miniatures in an almost-pop format, venturing into fourth
world territory from a clattering, wheezing and boiling DIY kitchen
inspired by Moondog, Ruth White, Raymond Roussel, LAFMS, Jon Hassell,
Anton Bruhin, René Daumal, Suzanne Ciani and folk musics of the Andes
and Asia. Two of the tracks on the album are made in collaboration
with flute wizard Antti Tolvi (of Rauhan Orkesteri, Lauhkeat Lampaat
etc.) layering up Tolvi’s overdubbed flutes with hand percussion, tape
snippets and electronics.
