With Piscolabis , Golden Bug delivers his new work, a sonic UFO oscillating between electronica, robot vibrations and psychedelic dub.

Piscolabis gathers all the vibes, the codes, the styles Antoine Harispuru has been messing with during the years and traces a bold new direction towards new worlds.

And he’s got, on his fourth studio album, an impressive cast of guests : rock act The Liminañas and electronic producer Tim Glass from France , Funboys from Australia, Vega Voga from Japan , Pajaro Sunrise from Spain ; they all help him painting this picture, a project born from opposites confronting each other.

A path starting with Colibri’s substance-drenched, labyrinthic dance floor beat, going on to Variations Sur 3 Bancs featuring The Liminañas take on the acid-western / psych pop universe, taking us hitch-hiking for a while thru Japan with singer Vega Voga for some out-there musical epics, and La Boite Noire takes us dancing, but very very very slowly. Slower. Ok.

Then La Goutte D’Eau starts casting its shadows until Fata Morgana gets her hands on that arpeggiator, which basically keeps us raving on until Nid de guêpes, a mutating obsession, a gateway drug to Bring The Light, featuring Pajaro Sunrise, and to the blinking rainbow road they bring us onto. (This is kinda Golden Bug’s light side.)

The path ends with a triptych : Kotodama Part 1 and 2 (featuring Vega Voga) and Le Chant Des Sirènes, a musical work which perfectly encompasses the trip Antoine Harispuru has taken on this last album of his: a stroll from an indescribable, eccentric, robot-like binary code to shining, moody pop music, and back again.

Patrick Glassel ~ Conditional Atmosphere

Artist: Smagghe & Cross 
Title: 1819
Label: Offen Music 
Release date: 27.01.2020 
Format: 12“ LP

This second Lp on Offen is an ajar window overlooking the phantasmagoric world of Smagghe & Cross, a remembrance of days that never were. The music is sparse, the past is forever : ghosts of industries are conjured through the English countryside, fading memories play static with an idea of romance, the sun breaks through the iron clouds. A record free of uncouth nostalgia but laced with ethereal melancholia.

Music for Cello and Humming is available at https://blankforms.org/publication/judith-hamann-music-for-cello-and-humming-cd/

For her first album releases as a soloist, nomadic Australian cellist and composer Judith Hamann presents two collections of her sonic inquiries into shaking and humming. Her CD, Music for Cello and Humming, features two pieces for cello and humming written specifically for Hamann by composers Sarah Hennies and Anthony Pateras alongside Hamann’s own “Humming Suite” and “Study for cello and humming.” Having arisen intuitively from Hamann’s investigations into shaking, just intonation, psychoacoustic phenomena, and the voice in relation to the femme presenting body in performance, humming here also references dislocation, or ventriloquism.  Although teetering on the edge of audibility, the intimate and vulnerable closed-mouth sounding enters into subtle interference with her cello, drifting into acoustical beating and bringing instability to otherwise more formal grid structures. The capacity for rupture of this volatile fragility reaches its apotheosis on Hennies’ “Loss,” a piece that deliberately instructs Hamann to hum beyond the limits of her voice range. Going against the grain of chamber music orthodoxy, the guaranteed failure set in motion by this instruction yields a generative sound of effort reminiscent of Xenakis’ storied desire for an instrumentalist to play with the sorrow of knowing they can’t do everything. With an arc suggestive of sudden life change, “Loss” casts queer epistemology onto composition, positioning failure, undoing, unbecoming, and transforming as alternative ways of knowing or being. Hennies’ signature composite merging of individual components here brings oral sounds that include breathing and coughing together with humming, cello, and sine waves. Like Glenn Gould’s 1982 Goldberg Variations or Pauline Oliveros’ Accordion and Voice, this timbral meeting of bodily utterances with consummate musicianship imbues Hamann’s humming work with a breakable, human strand, here as humbling as it is uncomfortable.

Music for Cello and Humming‘s sister release, Shaking Studies, is also available. Music for Cello and Humming is accompanied by an essay on both recordings by Nora Fulton.

Judith Hamann undertook her doctoral studies with renowned cellist Charles Curtis, with whom she is currently engaged in a discourse based project, ‘Materialities of Realisation.’ She has additionally demonstrated a superlative capacity for improvisation and engagement with sonic arts through work with artists Dennis Cooper, Éliane Radigue, Áine O’Dwyer, Ilan Volkov, Toshimaru Nakamura, La Monte Young and Marian Zazeela, Golden Fur, Jessika Kenney, Anna Homler, Yvette Janine Jackson, and Lori Goldston, among others. Her recorded appearances include Tashi Wada’s Duets, Graham Lambkin’s Community, Alvin Lucier’s Illuminated By The Moon, and Gossamers, with Rosalind Hall.
