Description:
After recording "Granie Demo3 - Lyra Dreams The Halloween Edition" (Ref. [1]), I had to have a wind down session just jamming out, or was it going more hyper -- you be the judge.

Tracks 1, 2, 3 and 4 were recorded DAWless on the Granie, feeding it the Soma Lyra 8. Granie is my granular synthesiser Ref. [2].

Track 1 used a definite tuning library, whereas for tracks 2, 3 and 4, it was all modified and improvised. The tuning is listed below, negative frequencies meant play backwards, these were the grain play-back frequencies, which may differ to the human perceived frequency.

Grain Bank 1 frequencies [Hz]:
1: -1.635
2: 0.265
3: 0.985
4: 1.465
5: 2.165
6: 2.865
7: 4.165
8: 12.465

Grain Bank 2 frequencies [Hz]:
1:14.
2: 3.
3: 13.
4: 20.
5: 25.
6: 32
7: 28.
8: -2.4

Grain Bank 3 frequencies [Hz]:
1: 3
2: 14
3: 17
4: 22
5: 23
6: 25
7: 41
8: 47

Grain Bank 4 frequencies [Hz]:
1: 117
2: 122
3: 125
4: 129
5: 131
6: 136
7: 141
8: 40

The tuning was determined one grain bank at a time, all by ear, ensuring each new bank's ith note worked well with the next bank's ith note.

For track 5, I was curious what the tuning of track 1 would sound like with a fixed discrete tuning instrument, so took the raw track 1 tuning and put it into Ableton Live, an exact replica of tuning but with no granular synthesis human perceived tuning corrections. Some selective octave reduction was also used, this tuning is shown below:

ID, Bank, Local, FreqRatio, Cents
0, 0, 0, 1.000, 0c
1, 0, 1, 0.162, -3150c
2, 0, 2, 0.602, -877c
3, 0, 3, 0.896, -190c
4, 0, 4, 1.324, 486c
5, 0, 5, 1.752, 971c
6, 0, 6, 2.547, 1619c
7, 0, 7, 7.624, 3517c
8, 1, 0, 1.070, 118c
9, 1, 1, 0.229, -2549c
10, 1, 2, 0.994, -11c
11, 1, 3, 1.529, 735c
12, 1, 4, 1.911, 1121c
13, 1, 5, 2.446, 1549c
14, 1, 6, 2.141, 1318c
15, 1, 7, 0.183, -2936c
16, 2, 0, 1.835, 1051c
17, 2, 1, 8.563, 3718c
18, 2, 2, 10.398, 4054c
19, 2, 3, 13.456, 4500c
20, 2, 4, 14.067, 4577c
21, 2, 5, 15.291, 4721c
22, 2, 6, 25.076, 5578c
23, 2, 7, 28.746, 5814c
24, 3, 0, 1.118, 193c
25, 3, 1, 1.166, 266c
26, 3, 2, 1.195, 308c
27, 3, 3, 1.233, 362c
28, 3, 4, 1.252, 389c
29, 3, 5, 1.300, 454c
30, 3, 6, 1.347, 516c
31, 3, 7, 0.382, -1665c

I used a bell instrument, ok, this is weird, the tuning, not the instrument, but it worked, 8 notes for each of the Granie banks, strung together into 32 notes and just stuck with only using those 32 notes. I realised I needed a timing track, so picked a drum set and set the Push2 midi controller into 1/16th repeat note mode and improvised some drums into a 21 bar section. Improvised on the Bells track into 18 bars. Put the percussion and bells into looped playback and improvised on the Lyra 8 -- one take, improvised tuning oh ya.

This was all done in the session view of Live, then bounced into the arrangement view ready to play back and do the mastering by putting in volume swells for interest.

Last copies here:
https://shimmeringmoodsrecords.bandcamp.com/album/waterforms

Waterforms is a 60 minute longform track composition that experiments the dilatation of sound (in the true sense of the word) within a scenario that can be for example near a lake or on the shores of an isolated sea, still uncontaminated, embraced by a slight modular synthesis manipulation.. 
Waterforms is a work that must be listened to with a certain attention. 
It will transport you to another dimension, without moving from your chair.

After a three-year hiatus, Mindwaves Music awakens from hibernation and is rebooting with a brand new compilation called “Pnyø”.
Eleven exclusive and previously unreleased tracks, carefully chosen by the labels in-house artist Matilde Møller aka P(h)onyCat, merging between genres such as Ambient, Electronica, Leftfield, IDM and Glitch.

The selected tunes may be diverse in tempo and timbre, but the underlying feeling is melancholic, and imaginative - poetic and delicate. 
Even if "Pnyø" could be characterized as peculiar in part, instead of opting for the obvious straightforward expression, the release comes in an overall laid back vibe, which was compiled for your listening pleasure at home.

Sofus Forsberg - Invert

English

Thug life urban areas give birth either to crime, or to art. In the case of Kaloyan Gavrailov (aka KANZ), the shady Lyulin neighbourhood of the Bulgarian capital Sofia, thankfully sparks the latter.

Kaloyan discovers music production in 2004. Captured by breakbeat, in 2007 together with Dimitar Slavkov - Dickie, creates the colourful live act duo 80s Clash. Flowing through genres such as deep and progressive house, he settles in dub techno and ambient, and embarks on his KANZ live act alias.


In 2015 he releases the emblematic "Sea of Uncertainty" trough  Stephan Panev’s KOMPONENTI Imprint. Two years later, KANZ takes off on yet another artistic adventure, resulting in the foundation of the experimental techno live act LESNIK with Kalin Baychev SuB (Porno BPM). With him he rocks the Sofia nightlife scene, performing at various events - ФАЗА, Subfactor radio show, and others.

Throughout the years, labels such as [-M-E-L-M-A-K-], Audio Avantgarde, Adultempo Specialists, KOMPONENTI, Mahorka, WTF is SWAG, Axaminer Records and Amek Collective see KANZ on their release titles. In 2021, the artist's pandemic soul finally pours into his first album “Remind Me Tomorrow” on Mahorka.

It is there where the musical direction of KANZ can be sensed best - ranging from ambient to dub techno, through IDM, generative music and psychedelic electronica. It is where one dives deep. No reminders needed.

Bulgarian

Всеизвестно е, че нелекият живот по крайните квартали ражда или престъпност, или изкуство. В случая с Калоян Гавраилов (известен още като KANZ), съмнителният столичен ж.к.Люлин за щастие го тласка към второто.

Калоян открива продуцирането на музика през 2004 г. Запленен от брейкбийта, през 2007 г. заедно с Димитър Славков - Дики, създава колоритния лайв дует 80s Clash. Преминавайки през жанрове като deeep и progressive хаус, той се "настанява" в дъб техно и ембиънтa, и се впуска в музициране под псевдонима KANZ.

През 2015 г. издава емблематичното "Sea of Uncertainty" за лейбъла на Стефан Панев - KOMPINENTI. Две години по-късно KANZ отпътува на поредното артистично приключение, което води до основаването на експерименталния техно лайв акт LESNIK с Калин Байчев SuB (Porno BPM). Двамата редовно разцъкват софийската нощна сцена, изявявайки се на различни събития - ФАЗА, радиопредаването Subfactor и др.

[-M-E-L-M-A-K-], Audio Avantgarde, Adulttempo Specialists, KOMPONENTI, Mahorka, WTF is SWAG, Axaminer Records и Amek Collective са част от лейбълите, чиито рилийзи "краси" името на KANZ. През 2021 г., пандемичната му душа най-накрая се излива в първия му албум озаглавен „Remind Me Tomorrow“, и издаден за лейбъла Mahorka.

Именно там музикалният път на KANZ може да се усети най-добре – криволичещ по ембиънт и дъб техно калдъръми, пресичащ IDM мостове, отправен към генеративната музика и психеделична електроника. Там човек се впуска дълбоко. Без необходимост от напомняне.
