https://soundcloud.com/martin-hoogeboom (1954) is an autodidact Dutch sound artist with long standing interests in transcending conventional instrument approaches and the use of non-instrumental organic and homemade sounds. Improvisation and collaboration are an important part of his work.

Some words about the MNEMOSYNE project:
"I was immediately interested in this project because I myself have a fascination for memories and the associated melancholy. Let's not confuse that with nostalgia: longing for a lost past. I am not a man for panta rhei: everything flows. I want time to stand still for at least 30 years. Why did my children have to grow up? Why not stay 3 and 9 for 30 years or longer? Why can't the clouds float low and slowly over the flat Dutch wetlands for 30 consecutive years? And can't I look at that for at least 30 years? My music bears witness to that desire, it is the eternal sounds of nature, sounds of ever-moving time that I save in a few minutes. Time stands still in my sound world. The tapes used in my contribution to the MNEMOSYNE project are recorded between 1961 and 2021. Time captured and stopped."

"What was a crucial sound experience in your life?"
For the first 5 years of my life I lived with my parents in an old dilapidated house in the woods.
Besides the fact that I thought I was the only little human in the world - that was a fright in kindergarten with so many other little humans - the sound of the wind in the fir trees made an indelible impression on me. As a toddler I used to go outside when I woke up at night. Night sounds and the sound of the wind were crucial to my development as an artist. The sound of the wind in the pines is not included. I hear that sound in my head and enjoy the melancholy it evokes. Can call it up anytime, anywhere, but it can only be heard by me.

MNEMOSYNE #014 - MARTIN HOOGEBOOM

Static

Sympathetic Resonance

DR0000 0158

World has slowed down. 
Hidden beneath a skin of fear.

All Silver was created during the first days of the Corona shutdown.
Made with passion and modular synths.

***

A morte é a curva da estrada,
Morrer é só não ser visto.
Se escuto, eu te oiço a passada
Existir como eu existo.
A terra é feita de céu.
A mentira não tem ninho.
Nunca ninguém se perdeu.
Tudo é verdade e caminho.

Fernando Pessoa

Sammie Ray Vaughan is probably the most unknown blues guitar player out there, really doesn't like to boast and show off, never plays a solo, keeps to himself. A model of modesty really. So little is known about him except for the occasional leaked recording...

So when he approached  me to perform a duet, I was a bit hesitant, you know, I'm like an ambient wanker and used to long form, erm, formless stuff. In this outfit I'm called The Exponential Trouble, and it's what I do, I add shit up until it messes the whole thing. 

Not sure we're ever gonna play together again, he's so elusive, Nevertheless, it was a fun session and here's a testament to it.

Credits: 
Sammie Ray Vaughan: Acoustic Guitar, Electric Bass. Sponsored with a worn out af set of D'Addarios.
The Exponential Trouble: Distorted guitar, Synthesizer, Ambience and overall slowdown and lowering the bar on the whole thing.

Sammie Ray Vaughan & The Exponential Trouble - Lazy Sunday Blues (It's A Minor Thing)[disquiet0468]

Having been started but not finished in 2012, this piece was then picked up and had things added, mixed and released in late 2020.

Enjoy!

Arçon  de Nièze - L'Ereucline CB·3 (Paral·lel "Radio" Rmx)

Le Berger is the moniker for the artistic, conceptual & professional endeavors of Samuel Landry, hailing from Montreal.

Namely:
• Ambient textures & tonal ventures accomplished with primitive means and scarce source material
• Limited series conceptual art prints
• Commission work for interactive installations, one of a kind artwork & individual design projects
• Narrative & voice over (audio books, scientific narration, film, TV, commercial & others. French & English)
• Concept albums & mystical (yet whimsical) stories in sounds
• Openness to free association, collaborations and interesting projects, please do inquire

In most of these undertakings reside an ethos that goes deeper than aesthetic considerations. The creative process itself is considered in many ways as quintessential as its end product. Le Berger often times consciously restrains the resources, tools and options available; a method intended to excite resourcefulness and focus on human potential rather than a dependency upon expansive & expensive technologies offering what appears to be near endless possibilities.

There is a clear intent to create work that celebrates imperfections, values character and personality over the stale gimmicks of promotion. And then the sincere hope that it generates as penetrating an experience for the end receiver as it does for its creator.

The work has been characterized as refreshingly kinetic, candid, self-replenishing, atmospheric and serene. It falls along the lines of drone, minimalist, sound art & ambient genres and undeniably subscribes to a DIY modus operandi.
