today's great music recommendation: Kammerflimmer Kollektief" (from Germany/Karlsruhe)

The core of K.K. are 3 people (doubleBass/git&elecronics/voice&harmonium)

K.K. are the proof that free jazz is not always sounding like "noisy hell" :-)) as most people will think.

this songs from the best K.K. album (in my opinion) - check it out! have fun!

by the way: many of the overtone things are done on Double bass

my favorite sounds in a playlist..with no special order..newest additions at the end.

Nic TVG avoids the Drum & Bass clichés and unearths a barrage of unheard breaks for the rhythmic template on this, his debut album. He demonstrates a delicate touch in his manipulations of this material on the intro track “A Mouse Among Monsters” and also a maniacal tendency in the insanely chopped nature of “Friday Nights With Heather” at the death of proceedings. In between, there are many facets of Nic's repertoire to explore.

There is an unmistakable free-jazz theme running throughout this album and so, it is no surprise to see Nic pay tribute to the great Charles Gayle and his on-stage alter ego “Streets” on “The Clown”. The track encapsulates the sad nature of Gayle's existence as a homeless person in New York in the 70's and 80's but also his devious musical nature, evident in the way the rhythm steps in and out of its regular meter and switches between a number of different percussive palettes at a moments notice.

The free-jazz influence is to the fore again on “Playing Drums As Pads” where the most unlikely and unwieldy drum-kit patterns are pushed together and somehow made coherent and compelling. “Lose The World On An Excuse” promises to remain a little more regular initially but the pulsing kicks of the intro soon give way to a whirlwind of drums, pitching bass notes and off-key violins for maybe the zaniest tune on the album!

“I'm Sorry I Puked On Your Dress” sounds like Jazz and Drum & Bass meeting Tchaikovsky's “Dance Of The Sugar Plum Fairy”. You could be listening to the future of ballet right here.

Moving on, the title track “Then I Disappear” is all intense drums, flitting bass plucks and looping horns. The reversed keys introduced as the track progresses develop a more reflective air which leads nicely into “Out Of No More” - probably the most introspective track on the album.

Perking things up is “Sitting In The Crosswalk” which forsakes the jazz overtones to flex a more recognisable Drum & Bass influence amid an uplifting autumnal ambience. The D&B strains are also much in evidence on “Let Yourself Be Unknown”. Crunchy amens cart-wheel among stark, sustained atmospherics but eventually gave way to a wistful synth riff before the beats and bass broodily return.

“She Looks Like Marisa Tomei” is interesting for its title but also for the way the rhythms are occasionally ratcheted up a notch from the steady kick and hi-hat interchanges by the injection of some rowdy funk drums. The low-end bass and stretched wind instruments work particularly well together in this beautiful blend of breakbeat and blues.

“My Life As A Hairless Aardvark” might just beat the stiff competition for best track title on the album. It also might just feature the most obtuse rhythm, which is saying something!

And so to the maniacal chopping of “Friday Nights With Heather”... talk about going out with a bang ! ... and then, I disappear.

Nic TVG - Out Of No More :: SUBTLE005CD

The Sunken Hum Broadcast 253 - The Soulful Chicken Singers - 10 September 2013

Lucrecia Dalt - "Inframince"

Warsaw-based cellist/composer Resina (Karolina Rec) returns with a first standalone album in three years, taking a big step forward on a bold and brilliantly expansive record that explores ideas about language, the voice and the unpredictability of nature. Recorded by Resina and Michał Kupicz, with striking additional mixing & production work by Daniel Rejmer (Ben Frost, Björk, Foals, Girls Names), 'Speechless’ is fluid and muscular, with wide dynamics and a dark and powerful dramatic weight. Across nine tracks, Resina's cello, voice and electronics are set alongside drummer Mateusz Rychlicki and the 23-piece 441 Hz choir.

Bristol-based solo electronic producer LTO @lto-oa returns to Injazero Records following his debut, 2015’s No Pasa Nada EP. 

While plaudits for LTO have tended to focus their praise on No Pasa Nada’s tense and eerie programming, its deep sonics and waves of static, Storybook gives us access to the beating heart within the machine. It is an album not purely of mechanics, but also of human warmth, formed with a colour palette of equal digital and organic materials. There is expression and articulation, delicateness of performance, voices both natural and treated, piano and brass, all deftly placed about a canvas of electronic fabrics.

LTO first made waves as part of mysterious electronic collective Old Apparatus. Their music - anonymous, dark, ghostly, subterranean - was reminiscent of garage and grime scenes, but sheened with a nocturnal miasma and a fierce intellect, obfuscated by deliberate myth-making. And while LTO as a solo producer retains elements of this darkness and beguiling sound-design, Storybook sees him let the light in.

A vision is laid out by album opener ‘Change’. It combines gentle, dulcet synthesis with a percussive line made of table-tennis recordings and Spanish-language voices that softly echo in and out of the space, like Katie Gately remixed into Brian Eno’s ambient records or the poise of Max Richter filtered through Chris Clark’s production lens. These themes wander and weave through the record. They comprise willfully corrupted notions of the ‘single’: broken, distorted vocal pieces that never quite move as expected, yet somehow remains approachable and deeply touching. They comprise fluidity and elasticity, a human-ness that enwraps the mechanical parts, in the same sense as Holly Herndon or Nils Frahm. A highly accomplished pianist (indeed, a piano teacher in his civilian life), LTO’s astute musicality is the foundation stone beneath the magic and abstractions of Storybook.

Injazero Records will release Storybook on 180g vinyl and digital formats on June 23rd 2017. The record was mastered by Taylor Deupree (Dustin O’Halloran, William Basinski, Helios) of 12k Mastering.

Es knistert und groovt, dröhnt und säuselt in allen Ecken, wenn das KlangDrangOrchester auf eine seiner intensiven Klangreisen ins Gefühlsleben der Musiker und des Publikums geht. 

Das Frühjahr 2013 steht für das improvisierende KlangDrangOrchester ganz im Zeichen der Erforschung musikalischer Spielräume durch Reduktion. In der 3-teiligen Konzertreihe "Basics to go" untersucht Peter Wolf mit kompositorischen Rahmenkonzepten das Spektrum klangmalerischer Möglichkeiten für das Dirigat. Der Fokus richtet sich mithilfe reduzierter Zeichengruppen auf die verstärkte Wahrnehmung für Strukturen und Phänomene in gruppenimprovisatorischen Prozessen.

Der von Wolf verwendete Basiszeichensatz geht von den über 20-jährigen Erfahrungen des London Improvisers Orchestra aus. Dessen Zeichenrepertoire, das inzwischen weite Verbreitung gefunden hat, umfasst ca. 20 Gesten, die Aspekte wie Gruppen, Rhythmus, Funktionen, Feeling sowie dynamische und tonale Parameter steuern. Dazu kommen bei Wolf individuelle Zeichen und Absprachen sowie intuitiv zu erfassende, performative Zeichen, die über Körpersprache vermittelt werden.

from 'Karma' [CD|LP|DIGITAL]
Denovali Records · den345
available on all formats at http://denovali.com/mansur

MANSUR is the newly initiated project by Jason Kohnen (ex-The Kilimanjaro Darkjazz Ensemble) joined by Dimitry El-Demerdashi (ex-Phurpa) and introducing Martina Hórvath on vocals. The sound of MANSUR navigates between the waters of musical fantasy and reality - it morphs and blends traditional instrumentation with modern day electronica.

Horváth, El-Demerdashi and Köhnen return to their otherworldly worldbuilding with their debut album ‘Karma’ on Denovali. MANSUR leads the listener into mystical and magical unknowns, that lie far past the realms of material perception.

As astronomer Carl Saga once wrote “Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known”.  Universal lessons of life, brought by teachings and teachers of ages. Unimaginary worlds in all our capacities of being created.  MANSUR is the transformational vessel guiding you to these non-physical realms. The realms you seek are already there, its up to you to find them.

Mansur - Memento Mori

"Uisge Dhè" is taken from "Upstream", the soundtrack to the experimental film by Rob Petit. Released 5th of February, 2021 on the PATTERN series by Sonic Pieces.
