Psychic Liberation presents the "Sonic Encyclopedia Series", an eclectic batch of short run tapes aiming to explore and document a wide cross section of aural content around the world. Specialization and confines of genre are antithetical to the direction of this nebulous encyclopedia of tapes. The artists chosen are curated by Nick Klein, with design and illustrations provided by Scott Goodman.

Richard Vergez is a mainstay of the Miami, Florida experimental music community working under various monikers and running the label Noir Age, a receptacle for visual and sonic creations. On this Night Foundation cassette, the viewer is brought into post Indu0strial , somewhat New Age, sonic territory. Doting loops of blissful synthesizers and bellows from a far of origin, the tape is an ouroboros; at once creating and making malleable its own environment.

Hi, friends!

After an almost annual break, Pep Gaffe came back with the new tape by our all-time associates - Tofudj and Acid Jordan who deserves no introduction for the majority of ours listeners. These beautiful amorphous tracks were recorded last summer in the house by the river somewhere near Poltava.

As usual, we printed a strictly limited edition of tapes, which you could pre-order right now through the Bandcamp page or by writing us directly to the Instagram page (link in bio).

Hurry up if you want to grab your copy first ;)

This is one of the finest pieces of music ever written. It's very cinematic and I was kinda bored on a friday night, so I decided to just make my own version of it.
It's featuring the Minimoog model D, which has some trouble staying in tune, especially on the high notes. The Juno-60 on the chords. I ran the last half of it through this old tape deck, so you kinda get this rough tape hiss and distortion. 
I was kinda inspired by this arrangement of another song.

I've always been a big fan of the Tomita version as well.

2015 Edit: It goes without saying, Wendy Carlos was also largely influential. Check out "Switched on Bach", or "A Well Tempered Synthesizer" to hear where all of this started. 

Hope you like it.

20ft Hip-Hop: Ukrainian Grates Vol.2: Groovebox by Polje - 03/12/2021

Четвёртый по счёту полноформатный альбом украинского ритуал-фолкового коллектива выдержан в той же стилистике, что и предыдущие альбомы, но… На то они и ВЕЖА ХМАР, чтобы каждый раз, не меняя стиль в корне, удивлять каждым следующим альбомом. Чем же на этот раз порадовал нас дуэт гарных украинских дивчин? Много чем. Будем разбирать по порядку. Что-то в этом альбоме есть такое, что напоминает релиз 1999 года «Колискова». Атмосфера сказочности, очень размытые эффектами вокальные партии, в которых опять же присутствуют моменты, когда музыка сама из себя начинает лепить какие-то визуальные образы или несёт душу, подобно воздушному кораблю, в мир древних Славянских преданий. Однако здесь все эти моменты разработаны гораздо глубже, плюс присутствует ряд новых, которые делают этот альбом ВЕЖИ ХМАР неповторимым.
Во-первых это природные звуки, которые со времён «Плача» используются группой впервые. Во-вторых – совершенно другое, чем на всех предыдущих альбомах, звучание: более спокойное, чем в «Обличчях», менее абстрактное, чем на «Колисковой». Короче, это именно сон: логичный, но в то же время трудно объяснимый, туманный, но вместе с тем кристально ясный. Третья особенность – тексты, которые сильно отличаются не только от «Колисковой», но и вообще ото всего написанного ранее. Если в «Плаче» тексты представляли собой личные переживания, в «Колисковой» - сказочные баллады, а в «Ii чотирех обличчях» - эпические сказания о сути Силы, создавшей Мир, то здесь всё, что было раньше переплетается в единое целое. Основа – что-то личное, чисто человеческие эмоции, но всё это поднято на высоты эпического полотна и расцвечено сказочными, яркими, живыми цветами. Скажем так… Не знаю, как отнесутся к такой попытке интерпретации сами участницы группы, но мне кажется, что сочетание текста и музыки на этом альбоме – это попытка проникнуть во внутренний мир человека, жившего до христианства, попытка воскресить его чувства, переживания, образ мышления.
Очень неоднозначный альбом, в котором, правда, нет такой хитовости, если это слово вообще приемлемо к творчеству этого коллектива, мощной и завершённой концепции, как в «Обличчях», но есть нечто, делающее именно его неповторимым. Да, на первый взгляд кажется, что каждую песню в отдельности запомнить трудно, кажется даже, что это недостаток, но хорошенько вслушавшись, понимаешь, что именно так «Сон» и должен звучать. Если взять мощный и хитовый (менее размытые и с первого раза запоминающиеся мелодии) «Ii Чотири Обличчя», как объект сравнения со «Сном» и как отправную точку в развитии, то думается, что следующим этапом развития именно в эту сторону (то есть в сторону насыщенности и напряженности звучания, плюс хитовость) должна бы стать чёткая ритм-секция и более рОковое звучание (вроде бы логично?), однако для «Сна» такой ход событий просто неприемлем. Поэтому, не найдя в нём такого, казалось бы логичного поворота, слушатель может не понять альбом. Но уверяю Вас, господа, он стоит того, чтобы прислушаться повнимательнее. В нём есть своя изюминка, и чтобы её прочувствовать, «Сон» надо слушать не спеша и несколько раз, что, собственно, я и сделал, прежде чем сел писать эту рецензию.

LYRICS
Yeah I feel it in my bones 
And I find it through my home 
I see it in my dreams 
Like a whisper spoke to me 

Nobody sang it for me like I wanna sing it to you
Nobody sang it for me like I wanna sing it to you all the time 

Yeah I feel it in my bones 
Like the lines you carve for me 
And it moves right through my skin 
I can hear it in the breeze 

Nobody sang it for me like I wanna sing it to you
Nobody sang it for me like I wanna sing it to you
Nobody sang it for me like I wanna sing it to you
Nobody sang it for me like I wanna sing it to you all the time

Montréal-based Marie Davidson is something special. Creating dark and ominously sexy synth-laden tracks, the artist weaves her poetry - sometimes English, sometimes French - into the smokey atmosphere as spoken word. Taken from her second LP, Un Autre Voyage (out April 14th on Holodeck Records), Insomnie builds in intensity, layering electronic ladders as you make it through the haze and through another sleepless night. Following Marie's dreamy performance at SXSW, we are honoured to present the premiere of Insomnie and accompany the beauty on her nighttime journey. Join us!

Estonian archival label Frotee is honoured to welcome Estonian electronic music pioneer Sven Grünberg to its discography. Frotee releases a 24-track compilation featuring Grünberg's work for 10 animated films and 1 puppet-play, all music is previously unreleased on any physical format. Therefore, the release of "Anima 1977-2001" can be considered as a notable contribution to the acclaimed soundtrack composer's discography that hopefully cheers up the audiences who have been waiting for this issue to be released. 
Regardless of the fact that he still continues writing and recording music for films, the latest recording, that was included to this compilation, was made in year 2001.

The selected tracks cover a full musical spectrum from electronic music to more classical works of Sven Grünberg. He has never put out any of his musical pieces that are strictly ‘experimental’, even though he can be introduced as the first composer in Estonia, who has been using electronic soundscapes in his music already since mid-70s. However, synthesizers were always mixed with natural instruments. On this compilation you can hear both ideas that pull off as fully fleshed-out and complete compositions to some excerpts or more rough ideas he would re-use later on for bigger works. For example using organ or wordless scat vocals for “Linalakk ja Rosalind” become later known as his main trademarks that he also used on his first solo album "Hingus" as well on the soundtrack of a sci-fi feature film “Dead Mountaineer's Hotel” based on a novel written by Arkady and Boris Strugatsky. 

Grünberg has masterfully chosen 24 tracks for this compilation to make the album sound as a whole. First side can be described more as 'electronic' and 'experimental', including sounds from late 70s to 1980s guiding the listener from Estonian children’s film "Naksitrallid" title theme to more rhythmic theme from "Klaabu kosmoses". Grünberg’s music has some noticeable parallels with the early Berlin School of electronic music, but he certainly adds his own twist to it.  On some earlier tracks, you can also hear interesting and unique sounds produced by hand-built synthesizers. Second side introduces Grünberg’s more classical approach to film music. It reveals why he is still recognized as one of the best film music composers in Estonia. Most tracks on this side have been recorded after 1992, but you'll also find here his first soundtrack work from 1977, that surprisingly also fits among his more recent work. Grünberg always paid full attention to the subject of each film he worked on, never losing his focus while playing around with sound and experimenting with composition. It was always the content, that dictated the form, not the other way around.

@forheavenuseonly-records, founded by French wunderkind Folamour, has quietly been releasing incredible music for almost a year. Currently, the discography includes two V/A comps and a collaborative EP between Folamour and Parviz. Next up for the label is a melancholic LP by the semi-mysterious producer Valentin Meneveau, aka @tochigi-canopy. In its entirety, the project is a meticulously expressive body of work spanning electronica, ambient, and deep house, and its immediate effect on the senses is a result of Tochigi’s unique ability to craft cinematic soundscapes that are more like audible paintings than songs.

A look into his world is a look into a kaleidoscope of ever-changing patterns that evoke mental images of nature, personal memories, and moments of nostalgia.“Collecting Things,” the second track on the A-side of the LP begins with the always calming sounds of birds chirping, a gentle intro to the warped, detuned synths that wrap the listener in an over-saturated state of bliss anchored by a percussive sequence that seems like a nod to pioneering hip hop instrumentalists like J-Dilla and Nujabes. A simple, chilled out bass line is the icing on the cake here, the perfect complement to a tripped out adventure into the deepest and most beautiful parts of your imagination. What are you waiting for? Tune in and fade out.
