"RE-ENGININEERING" is the title track from Heatsick's Upcoming Full-Length, set for release Nov. 26th, 2013 on PAN.

Well known for his epic multi-hour live club sets and acerbic wit, Heatsick characterizes this collection of new material as a "cybernetic poem" that both indulges us in the mores of hypnotic dance music while holding a critical, and at times satirical, lens toward the culture writ large.

"RE-ENGINEERING" is symbolic of this balance, the crisp spoken word poetry communicating hypermodernity in crisis in a piece that equally evokes the masked humour of Chic and the biting surreality of Chris Morris.

FILIPE FELIZARDO
VOLUME II - SEDE E MORTE - Guitar variations for the thirsty and the dead

Catalog number: TFR022
Format: LP 
Release date: june 2014
More info: www.three-four.net/releases/TFR022


Let say it clearly, Filipe is one of our favourite guitar player. We love his very personal approach of building his music. Building is the right word here, as his music is so intense that it can be compared to sculpture: rough, soft, massive, ethereal, delicate. He oversteps the contemplative and cinematographic comparison that is regularly used for instrumental music.

With one guitar, he uses the sound to create matter and shape it with melodies. And silence. The moments he plays are equally important as the moments he doesn’t. Perfectly balanced between fragility and assertion, Filipe’s music can not lie, but is life. Sede e Morte pays tribute to great guitar players, with reinterpretation of songs by John Fahey, Peter Green and José Afonso.

The artwork itself is a painting made by Filipe based on an image of the Heidelberg Dance of Death book (1448) and almost a perfect imitation of John Fahey's "Dance of Death" - which uses an image from the same book.

What Filipe has to say about his record

For a while this record would be only side A... A home recording of a small rehearsal that turned out to be 3 covers or versions of things i love. Especially cançao de embalar, that my father used to sing and play to me as a lullaby. In the end, it seemed quite fitting that what envisioned as a protest record, or an homage record, would end up after all having a second side, with the help of guitarist Norberto Lobo, whom I admire and learn a lot from. Our music is different, but sometimes, sometimes, when planets align, our pathos hits the same spot. To end it all,something that was on my head from the beginning: the title is from a track by the Great Carlos Paredes. I feel that all i know is a very fragile aglomeration of all the work of guitarists i love. Records are made of records. So this is my thank you note. It had to be stated, this thirst and death that keeps us playing.

sonic blue
It was clear from the start of the compositional process in February 2013 that “sonic blue” would be an essential piece in Angélica Castelló’s oeuvre. The 42-year-old composer, flutist and electronic sound designer from Mexico, who has been living in Vienna for several years now, embarked on an unusual journey with musikprotokoll co-curator Susanna Niedermayr. On the Lofoten archipelago, an island chain along Norway’s northern coastline, they met the biologist and bioacoustics researcher Heike Vester, who founded the organization Ocean Sounds in a fishing village named Henningsvær in 2005. Vester led Castelló and Niedermayr to the whales found in the waters around the Lofoten islands. The field recordings and sounds they collected on these boat trips provide the acoustic framework for “sonic blue”.
Under the Banner of Environmental Protection
Ocean Sounds is dedicated to the research of marine mammals and the protection of the marine environment. At the mouth of Vestfjord the oil industry continues to expand. During seismic surveys undertaken to find new oil and gas fields, underwater detonations of compressed air create shockwaves. The vibrations that are reflected back provide information to map the location, density, shape and composition of the rock layers, but they are also a massive intervention in the natural soundworld of aquatic life.
Deep in Many Respects
With “sonic blue”, the musician creates her own imaginary underwater world that immerses the audience into the great sea of sound produced by her subgreatbass recorder, Castelló’s main instrument. The composition process of this piece is an examination of the profound in yet another respect, for to Angélica Castelló the sea also symbolizes the subconscious.
Susanna Niedermayr created a feature for “Hörbilder”, a series on the cultural radio station Ö1 which is run by the Austrian Broadcasting Corporation. The feature documents the unusual compositional process behind the piece that was premiered at the “ORF musikprotokoll festival im steirischen herbst” on October 6.
In 2014, “Sonic Blue” won the Outstanding Artist Award – Interdisciplinarity from the Austrian Federal Ministry for the Arts and Culture
sonic blue was commissioned by „ORF musikprotokoll im steirischern herbst“ as a part of „Networking Tomorrow‘s Art for An Unknown Future“, a project by the festival network ECAS/ICAS (European and International Cities of Advanced Sound), working period 3 „Ubiquitous Art and Music. Art, Sound and the Everyday.“

http://venncirclesblog.blogspot.pt/
Venn Circle Quartet Damasiewicz/Lebik.  This is a part of Kevin Le Gendre's (BBC Radio 3, Jazzwise) review for Polish Cultural Institute in London.
A desire to experiment and walk on the tight rope of adventure if not risk may have loosely recalled some of the bold forays into the avant-garde of one of Ornette’s most simpatico partners, Don Cherry, but on the strength of this performance Damasiewicz fits into a lineage of brass players who are as intent on stretching the timbral possibilities of their instrument as they are flouting compositional convention. Hence echoes of Wadada Leo Smith, Arve Henriksen and Nate Wooley were all heard at various points in one continuous suite that hinged on the ability of an unusually configured quintet – two double basses, drums, tenor saxophone/electronics – to stitch together a patchwork of sound in which the tiniest threads of ideas were woven around ever alert minds. Damasiewicz’s input varied from circular rhythmic lines so soft that they were more breath than tone to blustery whole notes that were almost gothic baroque, while the squelches and slides of bass and discreet scrapes of timpani sticks on the drums made unsettled and unsettling purrs and growls that reinforced the general impression of a restless, unpredictable fauna. From behind the glow of the all too familiar bitten apple of his laptop, Gerard Lebik contributed much electronic snarl and snap, though his most arresting texture was created by two transistor radios producing a kind of rabid Greek chorus in tin can stereo. But things became too static thereafter. The natural build of tension called for a release that the players could not find and draught upon draught of studied noise induced a visible unease among some members of the audience waiting for the group to move on to new terrain. Whistles, sticks and shots of assorted percussion from Damasiewicz started to slowly unlock a new energy source which began to flow when he raised his head and played a series of harsh, open notes that galvanized the whole band. It was Cuong Vu in guerilla stance. The shift from his previous seated position to a standing one altered the entire mood of the set. With this final passage of the performance taking a more aggressive, almost industrial rock direction Damasiewicz displayed a degree of versatility and a sense of dynamics that were impressively mature. The kind of spontaneous invention that blurs the line between composition and improvisation is notoriously hard to get right, but he seems more than up to the task. It is definitely worth keeping an eye on his future development.
