LEATHER PARISI: coming to being in the autumn of 2018, through the fusion of a synth and a hair
dryer. Her obvious  love for harsh-noise and power-industrial sound has gradually left space to the
doom-tehno-coiffeur side of her DNA. Our gender is disorder

[MDS006] SKD - Translucent Dimension Drift (Original Mix)

I've been sitting on this one since August 2020 and I finally decided to finish it once and for all. The real good stuff is coming by the end of the year.

ASPHYXIA


Among masks, ventilators, iron lungs and mass graves, oxygen is conspicuous by its absence.
As a premise, social discipline, endless oppression to the point of not breathing.
An asphyxiating virus, asphyxiating economy, asphyxiating authoritarianism, insane and suicidal reactions and total confusion.
In between, an innocent resistance arises, the oppressed rise our heads to grab an air mouthful and express ourselves in the shape of rebellion, in the shape of music.
Patince running out and the need for movement after such a long quiet time emerges unstoppable with a dangerous and somber soundtrack. The restrained scream and the shy dancing gives space to the ancestral expression of rhythm and repetition.
We found consonance among different cultures, artists from all around the globe make up this compilation, in an attempt to create that vital oxygenation that makes us feel alive and confront whoever wants to impose and crush us.

P.K. Pinheiro, the brazilian artist, based in Belo Horizonte, delivers a 5 track EP including a remix by Caos Sonoro. P.K. Pinheiro unleashes his post-apocalyptic imagery, where desolating landscapes amalgamate with infernal machineries creating an oppresive and hypnotic climate which refers to sci-fi nightmares staged in a post-human Earth.

| Premiere |  P. K. Pinheiro - Static Faith | [Of Dolls And Murder]

"During the pandemic, Arts & Culture vanished. It was forgotten mercilessly, characterized as an unimportant aspect of society and encouraged to bury itself under the soil of ‘chosen economy.’ The cultural landscape was first to shut down and last to be re-opened, without any support, quick as a flash, culture and living art was dead.
[...]
I embraced this thought and condition and chose to fast for seven days during each lockdown during a period of isolation while creating a performance art series using images, music compositions, and text. Such a creative endeavor has given me the tools to communicate and express; what I call – a hunger

for cultural engagement. This process allowed me to reflect on the current situation with inner depth and creative care."
- Barkosina

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.

Premiere: Barkosina - Waves Alone [Modular Mind]

An exciting horizon of textures, landscapes and evanescent worlds, close to a dreamlike experience, are synthesized in Espai, Temps i Materia, the title of the new HC Records reference signed by the Valencian duo Spammerheads, formed by Ana Escudero and David Garrido. An audio-visual project forged in 2019 under the punk concept "do it yourself" in which both sound and graphic creation (videos and covers) have been developed by the duo.

A warm reference formed by seven tracks leaded by the one giving title to the album. Espai, Temps i Materia introduces us to a silky and melodic set of gliding arpeggios intelligently backed by padding and shiny pads, a composition formed in two tempos over ten exciting minutes.

The overwhelming power of Cosmic Lunch hits us in a melodic spiral, where a composition in a continuous in crescendo in which sound layers are added and pushed by a thick and warm bass culminates in a satisfactory interruptus in the final stretch of the song, where that emotionality gives way to an epilogue full of mystery and dark atmospheres.

Singularidad Relativa fits perfectly with the previous track, immersing us in a bubbling oppressive atmosphere, where a pulsating and pungent synth goes by through a forest of smoked crystals and facing mirrors that confuse our senses and infuse us with a certain train atmosphere.

A Small Plot of Nothing is a blinding glow in the dark, where once again Spammerheads bring us closer to a futuristic dance floor in which dominant cadences are allied with an effective rhythmic structure in the key of a broken rhythm that serves as the basis for an immense dance of harmonic chains.

As if we found ourselves under a rain of unknown chemical compounds, Swinging Particles appears to us as a disturbing tubular composition where vibrant hi hats converse with acidic and tumultuous sequences that denote a comforting spiritual sense of unease.

The comeback to the stars converges in Chaos Routine, an oscillating space where sliding musical notes play with jumping and complementary harmonies, keeping total consistency with the general discourse of the sound narration.

The counter-rhythms appear in Beware Out There, closing the album and finishing it off in an exciting and ascending journey in search of a melancholic epic that takes us back to the atmospheres created in the mystery and science fiction series of past decades.

An edition composed of twenty-five cassettes in which we differentiate between the standard edition, where the graphic art is conducted by the neat and advanced design of Dani Requeni performing a creative tandem with Spammerheads and their special edition (five units), created by the musicians themselves, with a spectacular cover that simulates a mineral formation using clay and paint.

Finally, the mastering duties have been carried out in Berlin by Daniel Kyo giving it an unbeatable sound finish.

Beware Out There

if only once belongs to a new collection of works that explores memory in attics, dusty mirrors, and half-drawn windows.   Fragments from life pass along with snippets of half-remembered tunes played on the piano.   It's still taking shape - but it certainly indicates a direction.

Memories of Tethys

“When did the future switch from being a promise to being a threat?”

 Things are running so fast, to nowhere. It looks like mankind has realised that any effort to find a reason to justify its own existence is actually useless.
At the end we finally gave up, seeing ourself as monsters rather than the amazing creatures designed to rule the universe.
Our evolution, that we can definitely assume to be an involutionary process, turned the human kind being into a condition where the race probably got to the maximum of the biological possibilities. What will come next? Is it possible that the next step will involve creatures whose basic capacities so radically exceed those of present humans as to be no longer unambiguously human by our current standards?
Probably those entities will be able to "become" or embody different identities and understand the world from multiple, heterogeneous perspectives reaching the “post human condition” while seeking to maintain intellectual rigor and a dedication to objective observations.
Mankind’s hunger for keeping the evolution of techniques and tools vivid and alive brought our kind to struggle to feed itself of artificialism, spoiling biodiversity and setting itself as a black hole which swallows everything. The act of digesting creates nothing but toxicity that keeps on spoiling our planet and the life forms which populate it.
Since mankind started ruling the world, this process never stopped. Even when the balance was found, mankind kept growing, expanding and evolving, reaching a condition which is distant to the natural feelings of our race.
Hypothetically, we’re trying to ascend to an higher plane of existence in order to have a better control of the Earth and its happenings, despite the harsh fact that life has became harder for most of the animated beings which populate it, even for humans themselves.
As humans are conscious entities, surviving isn't enough, as our needs push us to make the most of our own psycho/physic resources in order to shape our own vision of things on a satisfactory base. This allows us to feel in peace and harmony with our surrounding world.
Besides the fact that more and more people all over the world have to struggle in order to ensure their own existence, a constantly decreasing number of people are able to focus on the happiness, having no direction to follow. The balance which ruled existence got lost and probably the time for a radical change for our little corner of the universe is getting closer and closer. A natural flux of renewed energy will come to set up a new order and renew the existence cycle over our planet.
“The end was contained in the beginning”, all we can do at this point is just to wait for the advent of the new cycle, wait for the advent of the MONOLITH to set the new order.
