Sound Ripples is a sound installation by Marco Sebastiano Alessi, created for the Sapporo Tenjinyama Art Studio. Inspired by the cultural legacy of the Ainu people, Alessi and members of the online music community Naviar Records reflected on the roots of their own local traditions, and created sounds inspired by the landscapes and stories of their respective environments.
Combining field recordings from across Japan, ambient compositions by Naviar Records’ community, and sounds captured during Alessi’s time in Sapporo, this installation invites listeners to experience sound as a vessel of memory, transmission, and transformation.
This immersive experience aims to highlight the importance of music as a connector that brings cultures into dialogue: a medium that transcends space and time to build bridges between distant communities.

Continuing the trajectory set by last year’s EPs and experimental long-player, Reeko returns to Samurai Music to deliver an expansive album that goes further into his experimental practice at the intersection of deep techno, drum & bass and electronica.

On Cryptophony, Rico continues this thread of exploration and uses the concept of inaudible or encrypted sounds as an inspirational jump-oﬀ point for an incredibly detailed, nuanced body of work. When meditative minimalism and insistent repetition are key compositional tools, the sound ﬁeld is opened up for subtlety in the spaces between notes, and that’s precisely the experience Rico has crafted across seven extended pieces.

“Crytophony explores how sound can conceal, suggest or reveal information in a symbolic, sensory or ritualistic way,” Rico explains. “I found it interesting as a first step to investigate further. There are no hidden messages in the music, but there are strange voices that, after the final process, sound transformed.”

Tōge Morita (1924-2013) was a Japanese teacher and poet from Osaka. In the early 50s, he started publishing his poems in the Katsuragi 葛城 magazine, later becoming its editor-in-chief and, in 1990, its editor.

young grasses  (Naviarhaiku 608)

Live recording of my set at StromWandlungSchall IV / Altes Schlachthaus Mosbach.

An improvisation on Paetzold contrabass recorder, processed by a Pure Data patch, together with a pre-recording of Ciat-Lonbarde Peterlin, table top guitar, samples of bells, and processed voice.

The piece is intended as a walk through a landscape of sounds, reflecting on the different meanings of "Wandlung" (transition/transformation/transfiguration/transsubstantiation).

Huge thanks to Thomas Breuer @vactrolog for organizing this fantastic event which showed the wealth of positions in electronic music!

Mosbacher Wandlung (Glückskeks) [Live at StromWandlungSchall IV]

Session found in the folder: audio exam, contains several files that I am (finally) examining from a backup disc scan.
There is a lot of interesting material in my opinion.
The first few minutes suggested the title of the track (the original file name was 10.04.23.112023_04_10 11_49_41 2).
I'm not sure if it's really material from 2023, and I haven't yet checked if I have a folder containing this session.
The only editing done so far has been mid panning of the tracks and a cut of equal length, as it was about 17 minutes long.
Listening to it, I can assume that I used AAS's Chromaphone software, probably triggered by Mooges software via MIDI.
Chromaphone is an excellent physical emulation tool, very interesting for creating timbres and samples.

Further refinements may be made in the future.
