Music For Sleep - Small Worlds (Radio Edit)

We interrupt our ongoing "Best of 2022" feature to take a breath and spend some time with [new] music. Music, after all, does not believe in time, it just becomes into existence when it's ready [sort of like us, but without the self-importance]. It doesn't know that there's a "schedule". It doesn't know that it may fade away before I bring it into existence once more, from the beginning. "Sounds arise from nothing and return to nothing." And so it's ready to be heard. Thus, today, I'm listening to a new piece by an Italian musician and sound artist, Daniele Bogon, who recently got picked up by Slowcraft Records for his upcoming album, Del Suono e Della Luce, scheduled to be released on February 3rd. The track I'm premiering for you today, titled "Prima Luce", is a highly textured, emotive sip of widescreen ambience that is both cerebral and prosaic, just as this form intends to be. It's a perfect introduction to his full length, "a brightly lit electronic work provoking visceral, intense impressions, [on which] the finely judged minimal aesthetic reinforces our long-held belief that less truly is more." Fans of soundscapes, drones, and analogue modular synth frequencies, along with those evoked from Bogon's guitar, hand made instruments, and piano, all captured, reworked and processed through a chain of fuzzy machines, will feel perfectly at home with this music, happy to be interrupted, at any point in time.

It's time that I check in with Denovali once again. This independent German label really knows how to curate its releases that span a variety of genres, ranging from ambient to experimental, drone to jazz, and contemporary classical. Regardless of the style, the quality of the output is always top-notch, and since 2006, I've managed to highlight many of their albums. Whether it's Blueneck, Dictaphone, Subheim, Hidden Orchestra, Bersarin Quartett or the beloved The Kilimanjaro Darkjazz Ensemble [and too many others to name!], somehow Denovali just seems to hit all the right notes. If for some reason, you are new to this imprint, I highly recommend you spend a lot of time digging through the catalogue, and please, don't forget the earlier releases! So when I get a promo from this label, I always take my time to listen through. [Note to artists and composers: whether you love it or hate it - this is the value that a "label" can really add to your music - in this case, they literally put their stamp of approval on the release, and that alone is worth my attention.] Contemporary Noise Ensemble is new to my ears, but from the first track, I am instantly mesmerized by their fresh and upbeat take on funky jazz that falls somewhere between Ninja Tune's earlier Skalpel, Jaga Jazzist, Xploding Plastix, and even a bit of Propellerheads. If those artist names mean anything to you, then you know what you're in for with An Excellent Spiritual Serviceman. And now, the track premiere!

As mentioned above, the project is new to me, but as I dig deeper, I find out that one of the members is none other than Jakub Kapsa, who appeared on these pages under his Kuba Kapsa moniker a few years ago with Supersonic Moth. Here, a previously extended arrangement of brass instruments is replaced with sprawling synths and electric bass. Meanwhile, Bartosz Kapsa [and, you’ve guessed it, they are brothers!] is absolutely killing it on the jazzy drums! Reduced from the sextet to a duo, the newly formed ensemble delivers a cohesive, fun and powerful shot in the arm of the elemental funk through the fusion of instruments and genres. And it gets my head bopping here!

The album takes you on a journey through jazz, space rock, funk and electronic music with a destination in the form of a rock song which is as well the title song of the album. The Contemporary Noise Ensemble still impresses with maturity and class.

Texas-based experimental percussionist Lavatone makes a commanding entrance on the Lost Tribe Sound label, with the new double album, ‘Lunar Mining and Excavation’. LM&E embarks on a rare concept album from the artist. This is heavy, filthy, industrial workplace, Total Recall eyes-popping-out-of-your-head type stuff, only no air this time, Cohaagan. It’s the ugly side of Space Music… overworked machinery, duct taped space suits, turds hovering at low-gravity in the porta-johns, pounding, grinding, noise and catharsis. 

If all that comes across as hellish and unapproachable, rest assured Lavatone’s a master of low-frequency sound and polyrhythms. While the label first discovered his impressive back-catalog in 2021, Drew Holder, the guy behind the alias, has been making his special breed of drone and thump music since the mid 90’s. While his mechanized approach takes on structural similarities to that of electronic music, Holder doesn’t even own a synth, and the percussive elements are all created by hand before being fed into a machine for further manipulation. This lends a deep, tactile richness to the music. This electroacoustic effect was well apparent in works like 2021 ‘Elevator,’ where these steady, brutish rhythms were aided by a multitude of strangely exotic offshoots, as they tunneled their way through a steely latticework of controlled noise.

This track is quoted from a compilation album 'Healing Sounds: A Compilation for Hurricane Recovery'.
Listening to all tracks of the album and purchasing are available on the link below.

This compilation is dedicated to the people that have been impacted by Hurricane Dorian in the Bahamas. The immense physical destruction on the Bahamian islands of Abaco and Grand Bahama are only now beginning to grasp the devastating personal toll for families who have lost so much in Hurricane Dorian. 

The killer storm, the strongest ever to make landfall in the country, destroyed many homes, and in some cases, entire neighborhoods were turned into rubble. Though the Bahamas experiences hurricanes frequently, Hurricane Dorian, which made landfall as a Category 5, has caused "generational devastation." 

In this era of the 24-hour news cycle, we sometimes can feel overwhelmed and powerless to make a difference, but in reality, it is easier than ever to contribute. We are asking for your help. PITP will provide 100% of the proceeds of this compilation to the Bahamas branch of the International Red Cross. We ask that you donate what you can to help support the disaster relief efforts from the devastating effects of Hurricane Dorian in the Bahamas.

All arrangements featured on this compilation belongs to the respective copyright holders and graciously provided their arrangement in an effort to raise donations in response to the devastating effects of Hurricane Dorian in the Bahamas. Thank you to all artists and fans alike for the support.

Lost Tribe Sound is a record label that specializes in organic and exploratory sound. Lost Tribe Sound admires music that leaves its tattered edges proudly in place, acoustic instrumentation blended seamlessly with dirty mechanics, timeworn sound worlds rooted in the muck and the mire of the present. The sound generally falls along the lines of bizarrely rhythmic, beautifully decayed electro-acoustic music, often with a reverence for low-end. LTS focuses on full-length albums, with a strong commitment to well-made packaging. The aim is to unearth timeless music that pushes the envelope of modern composition while paying homage to the ancient.
