00 GSD: sounds for thought and focus

Michiru Aoyama - Kyoto 京都 (Interlude).

From the steady dripping of raindrops in the rainy season, to the cicada in the summer heat, to the
gurgling of spring streams from melting snow, the majestically serene city of “Kyoto” Japan, is naturally filled with the poetry of nature.

New beginnings offer enlightenment, self-regeneration and rebirth, the hauntingly beautiful sounds of young Japanese ambient composer “Michiru Aoyama” offer something of a peaceful and reassuring retreat, detaching the listener from the current material world, therefore accommodating the quests of purity, love and unbeknown wisdom.

The third release from London based label “Interlude”, Michiru Aoyama - Kyoto.

Michiru Aoyama is a young ambient composer from Kyoto, Japan.

Michiru also delivers the label's first ambient album release, with all together 6 pieces of naturally composed Electronic Music.

禅は日本の心です。
私は週末の朝早くお寺に出かけます。
そこで、約三時間の座禅を組みます。
心は次第に、波立っていない水面のように穏やかになっていきます。
あらゆる環境音、無音は自分の中で意味を持ち始めます。

やがて音は光始めるのです。

“Zen 禅 is a Japanese Spirit. I go to a temple in the early morning of the weekend. Then, I practice meditation in Zen Buddhism for about 3 hours. The heart becomes quiet, gradually like the water surface which is not choppy, but still. All environmental sound and non-sound, begin to have a meaning to me, and soon the sounds begins to shine” - Michiru Aoyama

We hope you enjoy this track as much as we do.

Evan Magoni is a sound artist and composer exploring the creation of synthetic environments. His music as gonima spans ambient, glitch, and complex rhythm, employing digital textures and bright melodies. A restricted palette of sharp timbres is thrown sparingly at the canvas to highlight negative sonic space. 

The gonima project started in 2011 and is based in Montréal, Québec, Canada. Releases have found homes on local labels ygrade and Ancient Robot, and in Germany on Slam City Jams. 

gonima's latest work, "Nine Objects Through Open Window" on noted ambient composer Michiru Aoyama's Bullflat3.8 imprint, continues the emotional threads of fragmented beauty established in previous works. The album pursues them in a more subdued manner, slowly unfurling as a collage of melodic ambient washes with occasional rhythmic breaks.

From poking stove elements with pencils, to recording the ambience of a teapot, and playing balcony railings, mnk is an album which restlessly re-imagines everyday sounds. FenGi is the moniker of the Turkish sound artist Altuğ Kaptan, and mnk represents his extended examination of the vibratory and the resonant. It is an album which blurs the boundary between object and instrument, at one point Altuğ performs by simply opening and closing doors, at another he reworks recordings of the violin. Altuğ describes himself as someone who ceaselessly records sounds, seeking spontaneous moments amid the everyday. In his debut solo album mnk we discover an artist both courageous and frenetic, who sitting amid the boiling stove pots, and the sliding doors of his home finds music.

Corrado Maria De Santis is an Italian guitarist. Coming from an academic background in contemporary jazz he has gradually moved towards experimental drone ambient work.
His work primarily is characterized by the blending of the raw improvised guitar with sounds generated from his computer, creating soundscapes rich with surprises from domestic sounds bringing to mind a fly buzz in the window, the creak of a bed or the hum of a street light to rich sweeping harmonics shifting the tone to the ocean and the cold wind.
His aesthetic interest and sonic experiments reference oscillations of the Earth and it’s silence while utilizing pattern’s meditative power with drone sounds broken by glitches. His instrumental virtuosity allows mysterious improvised soundscapes to coexist with melody led composition.

In the light of Articulation, his new album for Erased Tapes, Rival Consoles shares a selection of tracks that compliments the producer's latest electronic opus perfectly.
Opening with the seemingly weightless yet driving pulse of Ostgut Ton's Barker, the mix moves deftly through further immersive cuts from Four Tet, Stimming & Marcus and the blissful breaks of Skee Mask. Before culminating in the fluid contemporary orchestrations of Actress x LCO and closing with the amniotic drone of Alessandro Cortini and the arpeggiated modular ataraxia of Caterina Barbieri.
Heads down vibes and after hours euphoria in equal measure to be savoured.

Welcome to the new Pluie/Noir podcast series. 8 years after our debut we decided to press the reboot button and return to our roots. With a new format and back to a regular monthly schedule, Pluie/Noir Interscapes will feature audio collages, mixes, live interviews and live recordings from P/N artists, friends, and other collectives we admire.

Because less is more, instead of the usual triptych format, this series will feature one single A3-A1 visual interpretation of the music by a graphic artist. The artwork will be available to purchase in poster format on our rebooted Bandcamp page very soon, with cassettes or CD-r of the mixes as a bonus.

For Interscapes 04 we welcome patient better drivers aka @matteomanzini, the very talented London-based Italian artist behind @wantrecords, with a visual interpretation by a familiar artist to the series, the French artist @julban

もちろん、私の中では今までリリースしたアーティストに対して、１００パーセントの確信と自信がありました。しかし、第三者が認めるのとは話が違います。１００人すべてのひとに気に入られる音楽なんてこの世に存在しません。
私は、一人でも多くのひとに新しい音の世界があることを確認してほしいです。一人一人の個性を感じ取ってほしいです。

Radio vol.9

We have known each other for quite a long time. Both sharing the same fascination for sounds and musical devices. At some point we started to think: “Why not collaborate together?” 
This opportunity arose when Dominik Grenzler aka An Moku received an invitation to play at the 10th and very last “Marathon Des Zelluloids”, a silent-movie festival with live performed soundtracks, which took place in December 2019 in Zurich, Switzerland. An Moku invited Joel to participate. 

At the beginning of Autumn 2019 we started to meet on a regular basis for sessions to improvise together. By then we still didn’t know which film we got to set to music, and since we never played together before, the main goal was to develop a feeling for each other. In only a short time together we developed a wonderful flow and during our sessions we collected many ideas and clues how to work together for the festival. 
One month before the festival we were given the actual films we had to create the soundtrack for. We received three short movies by Maya Deren: Meshes of the Afternoon (1943), At Land (1944), and Ritual in Transfigured Time (1946). Due to An Moku‘s sketches the composing process flew by really fast and after three sessions we finalized the music for each film. 

“Maya Deren” is a concept album based around the music composed for the three short-films with selected extracts from the former rehearsal sessions in Autumn.
