my contributions to the Naviar Haiku collections

for Naviar Haiku

"'Nova Llum' unfolds and morphs through 9 tracks of contemporary Ambient bliss... Shimmering fractals of ASMR, combined with Illbient laced electronics & drums - all combine for the perfect modern Balearic flotation tank"

Original Cassette released via @goodmorningtapes

Centro Gris (from 'Nova Llum' LP)

During the world of corona pandemic, spent a refrain life while embracing the anxiety, live and video and sound track production with foreign artists in the field recordings and online in the narrow space of the studio or home garden. And the sound intuitively produced by the live performance at the ancient water source ruins performed by a limited number of people. Delicate sound material using the old music box found from old grandmother furniture. This time, with the concept of the origin of water and the return to the forest, we will release it as the fifth album.

Hourglass [1]

This is the closing track off of "Hyphae", a collection of tracks I made with fellow ambient guitarist Wodwo (Ray Robinson -- https://soundcloud.com/user-364196783-552705040). 

It all started with discovering each other’s work on Soundcloud and grew into a lively exchange of ideas and sketches. With both being on a quest to take the less obvious sonic route, always searching for the uncommon guitar sound, and their fondness for spacious and slightly unsettling ambient compositions, the sessions were kickstarted with the appropriately titled "Germ", which gestated into what became the first completed track of this long-distance collaboration between Munich and Derby. 

The title for the second track, "Hyphae" came to mind after reading Merlin Sheldrake’s fascinating “Entangled Life”. It seems apt to draw parallels between the massive mycorrhizal fungi hyphae networks (the "Wood Wide Web") that connect different species of plants and transport substances and information between them, and the to and fro of abstract layers of sonic matter that passed between the two musicians. 

The collection closes with "Simulacrum", probing the terrain where a bright major key tonality coalesces with a bit-crushed low-end undercurrent. And despite what your ears might lead you to believe, no keyboards or synths were used in any of this music! 

Hyphae is also available from Wodwo's Bandcamp page: rayrobinson.bandcamp.com/album/hyphae

9 febbraio 2023

questa è la mia personale interpretazione del "Four organs" di Steve Reich .. non la considero una versione definitiva, ma giusto un primo approccio, un tentativo .. se qualcuno è interessato a condividere con me il piacere di lavorare su quel bellissimo pezzo mi faccia sapere .. sono ben accetti sia rielaborazioni che parti vocali o strumentali da aggiungere .. su Bandcamp, in forma di 'bonus track', trovate anche il brano originale
https://marcolucchi.bandcamp.com/album/notre-dame

***

Four Organs is composed exclusively of the gradual augmentation (lengthening) of individual tones within a single (dominant 11th) chord. The tones within the chord gradually extend out like a sort of horizontal bar graph in time. As the chord stretches out, slowly resolving to the tonic A and then gradually changing back to the dominant E, a sort of slow-motion music is created. The maracas lay down a steady time grid of even eighth-notes throughout, enabling the performers to play together while mentally counting up to as much as 256 beats on a given cycle of sustained tones.


Four Organs is the only piece I am aware of that is composed exclusively of the gradual augmentation of individual tones within a single chord. From the beginning to the end there are no changes of pitch or timbre; all changes are rhythmic and simply consist of gradually increasing durations. This process of augmentation was suggested by the enormous elongation of individual tenor notes in Organum as composed by Perotin and others in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries in Paris at Notre Dame Cathedral. Tenor notes that in the original chant may have been equivalent to our quarter- or half-notes can take several pages of tied whole-notes when augmented by Perotin or Leonin.


Four Organs was composed in January 1970. It was first performed at the Guggenheim Museum in New York City by myself and members of my own ensemble later that same year. It also turned out to be one of my first pieces to be heard by a large concert-going public when Michael Tilson Thomas invited me to perform it with him and members of the Boston Symphony Orchestra in Boston in 1971 and at Carnegie Hall in 1973, where it provoked a riot.


—Steve Reich

Notre-Dame

It's the half term school holidays in the UK this week, I'm sitting at home with two young kids and I read this email from Naviar for the Haiku challenge as it pops into my inbox.  I love the image this haiku creates. Outside my window at home we have tree branches that are winter bare. I was filming these the other day for another project. 
I had an idea for the music straight away - a 'bare' sort of sound to reflect the image of branches.  I started on this straight away. The kids are happy playing so I progressed and made this in about 2 hours.

Lyrics:
Your heart says yes but your head says no
And you’re tangled up in doubt
You wanna cry, scream n’ shout, let go
That’s what the blues is all about

Life’s been so hard and you’re scattered to the wind
There’s no turning away from the night
Where do you start to begin
When you’re falling like a shadow in the light

Tougher than the tears you cry
Harder than the heartbreak in your heart
Love is gonna tell you goodbye, yeah
And the blues is gonna tear you all apart

Sometimes you wake and the dream is real
And your yesterday’s all gone by
Caught up in the heartache you feel
And trapped by the danger of the fight

Silenced by the sadness of your pain, oh Lord
And broken by the fear of your doubt
Wishing you could start all over again
That is what the blues, that is what the blues is all about

Oh, tougher than the tears you cry
Harder than the heartbreak in your heart
Love is gonna tell you goodbye
And the blues is gonna tear you all apart

Silenced by the sadness of your pain
And broken by the fear of your doubt
Wishing you could start all over again
Now that is what the blues, that is what the blues is all about…all about
Now that is what the blues, that is what the blues is all about

Available on July 9 in digital and limited-edition cassette at:

6 months after releasing the first episode of its compilation tapes, Lyon-based label Bamboo Shows is about to deliver the second chapter of the series, featuring 14 artists on a 90-minute cassette to promote audio sophrology, 90’s reminiscences, psychedelic atmospheres and tribal breaks.

Once again, head-honcho @erevandj aimed to present a distinct yet complementary vibe on each side, leaving the exotic and ecstatic atmosphere of the BST001 for a more introspective and darker curation.

Including poetic and melancholic productions from Italian Lamusa II, Swedish Golden Ivy, English Wåveshåper (one of the many projects of Greg Hunter), Russian Misha Sultan, Spanish Entten, German Airchina and local talent Vague Imaginaires, the A-Side highlights dreamy new age, delicate neo-folk and ethereal kosmische-kraut, considerably inspired by the 70s-80s wave.

Yet, this gentle path drawn by the A-Side will slowly lead the listener to some more percussive, tribal and dubby materials as the B-Side shows a twisted and wild tension, aroused by gloomy works from Lyon gems Jonquera & HLM38, Venezuelan Bear Bones, Lay Low, German Vector Trancer, Serbian Andria, British Angel Hunt & Lou Venturini, and will perfectly come to an esoteric end with the closing track by Komodo Kolektif.

Concurrently with this limited release of 150 cassettes, the label is reissuing 50 copies of the BST001, Featuring renowned RAMZi, Niklas Wandt, Star Searchers' Spencer Clark, DJ Ungel & DJ Rasputin and local heroes Eiger Drums Propaganda, Christian Coiffure, Jacques Satre or Lastrack.

& also a limited edition-series of black or white T-shirts with artwork from Dima Rabik to celebrate or collaboration with the Russian Artist on this second release.

The Stellar Transitions adventure started three years ago, with the beginning of the "Stellar Series" podcast channel, dedicated to the exploration of ambient, drone and experimental music related to the hypnotic techno scene. Now as there's almost 50 episodes on the channel, it's time to unveil the second part of the adventure. Here is the very first release of the Stellar Transitions music label.

This is the first chapter of a new serie of V.A. releases with tracks from artists that have already contributed to the podcast channel in the past. You have to know, Stellar Transitions is a project about light - this serie will tell the spiritual story of the light through a 24-hour earth day.

The first track, from french Martin Goodwin, is a solar track that evolves between distant noise, organic drones and a big work on the textures.
The second, from french Adhémar, is a 10 minutes meditative ambient track that inspire to an exploration on the deeper side of your inner self. Close your eyes.
With the third from another french as Vâyu, the first light of the day starts to appear. The beautiful synth pads, the sparkling percs and the moving bassline leads you to a transcendental journey.
The fourth and last is from serbian Zhe Pechorin, and its name, "On My Way to Home", sounds like an evidence at the listening : this emotive, soothing ambient track is the accurate soundtrack to the end of a long night, at the moment where you see the first sunbeams on the way back to home. A beautiful epilogue to the journey.

Now, the dawn breaks.

Release on May, 22, 2020, day of the new moon.

Mastering made with love by Maxime Mouttet. Artwork with the same kind of love by Natou.
