Sounds From NoWhere is pleased to premiere a new Samot' gem on House of Reptile Records.
Setting fire to the rage of acceptance. 

Sublime Creatures, defiant of society’s cages, its definitions of power, beauty and status. 
A higher stance above bitter resentment. 
A pro-active community of thinkers. 
A patch-work of empowered souls, ideas and experiences. 

Directly related to one of the sentences in our manifesto, Sublime Creatures is a call to our most powerful selves. 

The name of the label itself is about us working on bettering ourselves and being united in all our differences. 
“Reptile” is about our relationship with the reptilian brain and our efforts to understand what truly means to be human (tools to perfect your instinct), becoming aware of ourselves and the others around us. “House of” is a direct allusion to the “house and ball culture” movements in NYC in the early 80s. 

The sense of a real family of strangers coming together around a shared sense of purpose.

"There is a bizarre parallel between the collapse of creative and social life, which allows us to recognize how fragile and easily broken we can become"

Fasting Culture is Barkosina Hanusova's debut book publication with a music tape, drenched in multidisciplinary art forms her magnum opus entitled “Fasting Culture” has no shortage of performance art elements. 
Barkosina draws resemblance of human nutritive starvation with cultural starvation, urging us to reevaluate what cultural existence means to us. 
Throughout the creation of this Opus, Barkosina has fasted and created a daily audio piece with spontaneity and immediacy, capturing raw material that reflects on the current emotion in time and space.

Fasting Culture

[MMT04] Barkosina - Fasting Culture

Barkosina Hanusova's voice is surely one of the elements that we best associate with a musical project such as Years of Denial, and even with the current European industrial and electronic scene. We can say that her singing, the mixture of harmonics she emits, could perfectly well be part of the heritage of humanity for all that it represents, but Barkosina is not only a voice, her artistic facet is not only limited to her activity as a singer, her cultural range is wide, she dominates various artistic disciplines and with her new solo project she only shows us a part of it.

Unlike other musical genres, this scene, which we can call industrial and which is usually combined with other experimental or electronic styles, is often linked to other artistic currents, whether it be graphic design used in covers, performance, visuals or even literature. Barkosina brings together several of these subjects in her artistic trajectory, so it was only to be expected that her solo debut would not be a singular record release.

Fasting Culture is a 10-track album with a diverse sonic development. Each cut expresses a different feeling and situation, from the spirituality of "Self Transcendence", to the introspection of "Star Gaze", the restlessness of "Dead Song", the magnificence of "Art Is", the momentum of "Imagining Things", the dystopian discourse of "Beautiful World", the placidity of "Waves Alone", the confident state of "Never-Ending", the dynamism of "Burning Hope" and the emotional playfulness of "Inside You".

Surely, many fans of Years of Denial would have thought that in this solo project Barkosina would give more prominence to her voice, but this is not the case, it only appears in four tracks and in one of them it is barely noticeable, therefore, this album is a sample of her creative talent to mix and build textures from different sonic concepts. In addition, Fasting Culture is published together with a book that Barkosina Hanusova herself has elaborated with photographs, short essays and poems.

Release date: December 16th, 2021.

Description:

Following up an idea on feed back loops, looper cross amplitude modulation with my software based digital modular synthesiser, PulDeFilt; plus analogue synthesisers: Soma Enner, Soma Lyra 8 and Soma COSMOS.


Track 1, "From This", 01:04, Soma Lyra 8 + Soma COSMOS + PulDeFilt:
**************
Records a short Soma Lyra 8 performance, two motifs introduced and recorded into Loops 1 and 2, ready to use in Track 2.


Track 2, "Feedback Madness", 02:15, PulDeFilt:
**************
*(1). This is where is all began. Having recorded two short 11 and 12 second samples from the Soma Lyra 8 from track 1 into loops 1 and 2, it was time to experiment with loops 1 and 2 amplitude modulating (AM) each other.

I wanted to explore the possibilities of dynamic assignment of multiple looper outputs to cross amplitude modulate each other. So I decided to start simple and just cross link only two looper outputs.

The audio signals from looper 1 and looper 2 where then multiplied together, i.e. amplitude modulation. Now to add some spice, after amplitude modulation, this was fed into a delay+feedback+gain block and added back to the looper 1 AM input. This delay was necessary as a technical matter but then later proved to be a useful timbral tool by playing the delay times according to a prescribed discrete set of delay times (as assigned to 8 midi note pads, along with the feed back gain assigned to a rotary encoder of the midi instrument again played by the performer. The discrete delay time tuning was determined by ear, old school style, play one delay time, write that down, play the next delay time that sounded right, write it down and continue, then assign to the tuning library.

Since the original audio from the Lyra 8 was feed into the Soma COSMOS for reverb, no reverb VST was necessary in the digital modular synthesiser, PulDeFilt.


Track 3, "Wander", 02:41, Soma Lyra 8 + Soma COSMOS
**************
A purely Soma Lyra 8 performance.


Track 4, "Uncover", 03:21, Soma Enner + Soma Lyra 8 + Soma COSMOS + PulDeFilt
**************
Here the Soma Lyra 8 played a dual role, firstly as the delay+distortion for the Soma Enner performance and secondly, the Lyra 8 played in it's own right. This was then feed into the Soma COSMOS to layer in and out various motifs and play the Blur and Drift dials. PulDeFilt was used here purely as a mixing console and to layer up performances.


Track 5, "Leaving", 02:00, PulDeFilt + Soma Lyra 8 + Soma COSMOS
**************
After all the hyper activity, a calming finale. PulDeFilt was used to play a pulse oscillator drone through a single delay+feedback block then off to a band pass filter, adjusting the centre frequency dynamically during the performance. This provided the backing for the Soma Lyra 8 performance. The Lyra 8 audio was passed through to the COSMOS for a touch of reverb.

Premiere: "Unknown Faiths" de Hålbå presenta un punto de vista compositivo, no muy diferente de la discografía LXVIII, una vez más sin complicaciones y trascendente en una forma de techno experimental. Estos drones densos, ruidos ásperos y tambores excéntricos presentan las habilidades admirables en exhibición que pintan una imagen del artista que tiene el control total de su propio arte.

Lanzamiento el 14 de octubre de 2020.

Premiere: "Unknown Faiths" from Hålbå presents a compositional point of view, not so different from the LXVIII discography yet again uncomplicated and transcending in a form of experimental techno. These dense drones, harsh noises and eccentric drums present the admirable skills on display that paint a picture of the artist having full control of his own art.
