A teaser to the full-length album entitled "Random Soundtrack" (DRONE 1601 CD/LP) out in October 2016.

MIRT - RANDOM SOUNDTRACK

"Random Soundtrack" is a kind of extended field recording or sonic Écriture automatique. It's another attempt to search the point where music and found sounds intersect. "Random Soundtrack" is a sort of sister album to last year's "Vanishing Land". Similarly to its predecessor, it is a series of interfusing recordings, compositions, scraps of field recordings, ordinary connectors. However, while "Vanishing Land" was the result of laborious shuffling a well-known material, "Random Soundtrack" is an album created in its own right, almost unconsciously. Its framework was created by some forgotten compositions and improvisations found in the memory of the recorder which coincidentally shaped a whole by themselves. Several elements that were added later only developed this sketch in a similar manner to the idea of André Breton. The album that was created this way is in fact more a synthesis of real images than a surreal vision. Quasifilm aesthetics and seemingly hypnotic sound hide a worrying thought about capturing the image of the last quiet days of the chaotic world.

KOSMODRONE presents PALCOLOR ”WRÓG” (DRONE 1701 CD)

out: 1st December 2017

KOSMODRONE presents the next instalment in their catalogue: PALCOLOR and their new album entitled "WRÓG"

Clocking in at under 35 minutes it is the next stage in the project's development. They shed their electro-infused influences (Legowelt, Orgue Electronique et al.) in search of a more refined style. The whole album, divided into 6 separate tracks, was recorded without the use of digital technology favouring analogue electronics, such as Korg MS20 and Roland Juno 6, and powered by TR-606, giving it warm and spatial feel. Inspired correspondingly by the original krautrock (or rather krautelectronica) scene of 1970s (Neu, Cluster), techno ambient/IDM of 1990s (The Orb, early Autechre), contemporary retroscene (Belbury Poly, Pye Corner Audio, 1991, Ketev, Demdike Stare), Palcolor possesses their individual vibe which is consistent and far from predictable.

Although the final purport of the album was somewhat neutralized, "Wróg" (The Enemy) is inspired by the Polish brand of McCarthyism that has set in since 2015. The feeling of being an enemy (or the enemy) in the country where you are to live and being harassed by the lack of prejudice.

"Wróg" is strictly limited to 250 copies.


PALCOLOR is the project of Emil Macherzyński, started in Łódź and since 2013 operating in Warsaw. He produces strange and nice music on cheap analogue and FM synths, and samplers inspired by old electronica, library music and techno. In his spare time he reads a lot of Wikipedia, is interested in numbers stations, space race and North Korea. In addition to Palcolor, he plays bass in Anatol, repairs electronic instruments (but only the cool ones) and runs Warsaw-based label Jasień together with Joanna Świderska, responsible for releasing albums of Sierść, Evvolves, Golden Autumn and TER.

Lech Nienartowicz is a Toruń-based creator of spatial compositions made of field recordings, noises and scraps of  melodies. „Wzdłuż Pasma” is his first solo venture in the CD format after a dozen of cassette and digital releases under various guises and in various configurations.

"The sounds on this album in comparison to things I've done before are less experimental and the tendency to examine the border between music and non-music is less visible here. It can be said that this is a more traditional creation. The treatment of the sound source in the category of the sound object, and not a typical instrument, which can be associated with musique concrete, remains undoubtedly there from the experimental sensibility. Another common point with that tradition is thinking about composition in terms of sonic events and montage. In addition, it is an electroacoustic material that is difficult to assign to a specific genre and where the boundary between what is electronic (synthetic) and acoustic is blurred. Or at least that was the goal."

The album is limited to 200 copies.
