Alyssa Moxley’s »City Replica Souvenir,« a composition reflecting on the pioneering composer and KSYME co-founder Iannis Xenakis’ unrealised »Athens Polytope.« Moxley attempts to deconstruct the sound politics and massive coordination inherent in Xenakis’ city-sized proposal to a smaller, souvenir-sized aesthetic abstraction.

Alyssa Moxley - City Replica Souvenir

https://never-late.bandcamp.com/album/clouds-are-the-better-birds

Forget the city's clamor, the endless to-do lists, and the weight of daily pressures. Close your eyes and imagine yourself lying in a sun-drenched meadow. Above you, clouds ever-so-gradually drift by, shape-shifting like melancholic ambient undercurrents. Tranquility is all that’s there. You are in a different place, a better place..

That's the feeling one gets listening to Mjulev’s ‘Clouds Are The Better Birds’, a wonderful eight-track album by the Basel, Switzerland-based sound architect.

Mjulev's ambient playground unfolds like a dreamscape; each meticulously crafted layer weaves in and out organically, drawing you deeper into a world of introspection. As you listen, the stress and noise of daily life melt away, replaced by a profound sense of peace and connection. "Clouds Are the Better Birds" is an invitation to escape, reconnect with your inner self, and find solace in the simple beauty of the universe.

Set for release on April 12th via Never Late, Mjulev's latest offering is an essential companion for anyone seeking a haven from the world's noise.

Mjulev - Where's The Fluff?

"Giving praise to the ancient egyptian god Bes, the defender of everything good and the enemy of all that is bad''

Drifting across uncharted soundscapes, a non-linear and unexpected expedition, an aural journey of finding romance in hopelessness, beauty in the void, profound passages, and lucid dreams: this is the 3rd delivery of FUTURO IMPERFECTO.

Archetype - The Ick
Vinyl/Streaming/Digital
- 27.03.24 -

The Ick — a sense of sanity amidst the storm of information. This album by Archetype is an abstract scream for something quite fragile — a polarizing society, disruptive isolation, and the fading collective experience. Utilizing dramatic vocals, industrial trip-hop, and post-punk-leaning electronics, Archetype marks the new moniker by the ever-versatile Viennese Rotterdammer, Leonard Prochazka. Following his manifold of concept-driven, instinctive musical output, Archetype's "The Ick" releases in 2024, following "Strapazen und Genesung" as Geier Aus Stahl on Knekelhuis in 2022.

[GD004]
PREORDER : https://ghostdancetapes.bandcamp.com/album/carmentran

Duration 18'51"
Release June 12th 2024

From the still incandescent log, a souvenir can be reconstructed.
It is sometimes possible to feel spiritual entities through the sound spectrum.

There is no singer in the room, but a transmitter playing voices of many beings from different ages.
During this absence, heavily fuzzed guitars, dusty pads and flickering basslines enter into a quietly sharp communication.
Overhead, symphonies of enchantment and distant flutes mingle with the soft murmur of the wind.

We remember the boy who jumped over the flames
We reminisce the disguises and rituals
We recall the copper horn singing with the drums

GD004 | Carmentran - Carmentran [PREVIEWS]

Artist: Hubert Zemler
Title: groove 18
Data premiery: 28.06.2024
Format: digital / cassette (edition of 50) 
Mastering: Mateusz Wysocki
Artwork: Iwona Jarosz

In 2018, Outlines released a cassette by Polish drummer Hubert Zemler in the groove series dedicated to mixing footwork with dub. Zemler brilliantly dismantled this idea by creating two unique hybrids at 160bpm. So when the idea for a groove series created by drummers came up, it was a natural choice for Outlines owner Pawel Dunajko to approach Zemler to take part in the project.

Groove 18.1, subtitled 'OCD Soundsystem', opens with a completely different register and aesthetic to outlines' previously released groove 8. The track begins with a slow minimalist tempo reminiscent of Andy Stott's deep rhythms. Zemler gradually incorporates individual intensity-enhancing sounds to situate a layered synth loop in the central part of the piece. In the final moment of the recording, against the backdrop of an ever-recurring random phrase, the sounds of piano, bass guitar and an effects-driven voice appear, evoking associations with post-classical music and kosmische musik.

The first part of 'groove 18.2 (Cowboy, Cable TV And Roller Skates)' could appear on any of David Holmes' albums for its illustrative nature. In the second part of the recording, all these cinematic ornaments fade away in favour of raw and hypnotic layers built on short synth phrases. In the last part, the density of the track becomes increasingly intense with a rising culmination abruptly ended by a few single sounds reminiscent of Massive Attack's 'Dissolved Girl'.

Groove 18 is Zemler's own vision and his journey back in time to sounds that evoke some form of vintage sentiment and shards of nostalgia. In contrast to the earlier footwork of Groove 8, the leap into the future is made here with an imagination firmly rooted in the past, revitalising and refreshing it. This allows new musical and surprising associations to emerge, where krautrock and post- classical intermingle with Andy Stott, David Holmes and Massive Attack.
