Processor creates a cyclical vortex of sound, hypnotic, relentless
and chaotic. Dark driving basslines, jagged shapes, like shrapnel
fly among electric swells and echoes. Many of these songs were
written in the summer of 2012 and have since then exploded
into the wild soundscapes they are now.

Processor’s self-titled release is a limited edition cassette and digital download single.

Praise You: A Moodymann Tribute Mix by Prequel

Having previously helmed Intergalactic Faerie Funk and Mossyrock,
Marc Francis’ latest project finds him entirely on his own, crafting
swingy-swag, dreamy-dirty, fearless dancefloor shoegaze.

With his ramshackle, bargain basement, DIY approach to technology,
Taperecorder’s roots are deep in house, with nods to the punk aesthetic,
early rave culture, and indie rock. Francis cheekily infuses his
signature squelchy beats with found sounds, acoustic doodlings,
a touch of glitch, and stories to make you smile.

This release marks Taperecorder’s debut release for Toronto’s
paper+sound label and features the two tracks:
Relax Into My Arms and Make Em Go Damn.

Sub Bus b/w Low Level Transit Movement came out of a series of experiments that involved myself responding in real time musically to my daily public transit commutes to and from my day job. These commutes which at the time of composing this material were abut 2 hours in length each way, sometimes a little longer. My process was simple, using either an iPad or an iPhone and one of many different iOS music making apps I would write one part of the tracks found in this 2 song single, responding in the moment on the bus or subway to how my commute was making me feel. Each track was written in a multi day process, drums, bass, synth melody or lead, percussion and so on. Once I got all parts written out I would use that as raw material to compose each track in my home studio, finally resulting in the single your listening to now. Thanks for listening, naw

Montreal ex-pat naw (Neil Wiernik) who currently calls Toronto his home, began composing electronic music in 1988 with explorations in audio art and experimental music. Neil’s interest in sound and technology has lead him to a continued questioning and refinement of audio tools and modes of production resulting in experimentation with altered instruments, modified devices, and custom software environments. Neil’s music could be described as warm, atmospheric,
and cinematic electronic music. The sound design of naw is firmly grounded in the rich traditions of dub studio culture but can also be weighed alongside formal contemporary composition. His music
was recently described in “The Wire” as having “…the kind of sharpness and clarity usually lost amid the murk and decay of clicks and cuts and digital delays.” Neil has released music on various labels
Noise Factory Records for his naw project and on Elevation Recordings for his most recent project Whisper Room. Sub Bus is his second release on the paper+sound label.

All one can really do is enjoy the path it takes.

LES FONTAINES are a Toronto “éléctro-psyche” synth pop duo. Their debut 8 track album MAGIC TOUCH is out now on Toronto’s paper+sound label. Released on 150-gramme vinyl and digital download.
Lorenz Peter (synths, noise, turntables) has played in numerous duos, including CORPUSSE and in bass synth duo PROCESSOR.

Heiki Sillaste (synths, drum machines, effects) has previously made music as cult elektro industrialists DIGITAL POODLE and electronic maximalists KINDER ATOM.

When it came to recording their debut album, Les Fontaines settled into the secluded confines of a sauna cabin in the great Canadian wilderness.

Created solely utilizing a small collection of vintage synthesizers, drum machines and cheap & nasty effects units, MAGIC TOUCH was recorded live to tape with no computer trickery.

Long sessions of electronic music improvisation influenced by a collection of cheap 80′s hi-energy 12″ singles, fueled by other-worldy substances and self-hypnosis instruction records came together on tracks such as BURN THE MATTRESS, GREY ZEBRA and MAKE IT POOLSIDE.

Les Fontaines love their distorted hand-played synth leads, over-layed on top of choppy drum box funk rhythms, arpeggiated bass lines and swirling, walls of phased sound. Occasional metallic voices float in and out of the mix, commanding the listener to pay attention.

Magic Touch is an uncompromising LP. Les Fontaines create their own
singular sound of psychedelic, electronic, art synth punk funk.

Lorenz Peter is a Toronto based recording artist and comic artist. In 1991, Lorenz began to produce volumes of nightmare ridden, ink drenched, underground comics entitled Side Effect, and along with that came a soundtrack.Noise, effects, space sounds and sci-fi surrealist soundscapes were produced with guitarist K. Adams under the name Ludwig Felicio.
With Adams, Lorenz went on to perform with Mike Nightmare & The Things in 1993. Mike Nightmare was formerly of Toronto’s notorious ’77 punks The Ugly. The group lasted only seven months but the experience lasted a lifetime and inspired Lorenz to write his critically acclaimed Chaos Mission graphic novel.

In 1997, Lorenz joined Corpusse, a perfect combination. A power duo that would influence Toronto’s underground art rock/noise scene for nearly 15 years and record 3 albums together. For almost seven years a Roland SH 1000 and a vintage Ace Tone Rhythm Ace drum box were the only instruments used to create the Corpusse sound.

Since then, Lorenz has also recorded two albums with Toronto based painter Jay Isaac as the Bay of Creatures and one album as the Terror Dancers in 2006. The equipment has changed, but the experimentation continues, as Lorenz teamed up with Heiki Sillaste in 2009 to produce an album and 7″ single of electro-psyche as Les Fontaines.

Duos have been the key in this musician’s history, but this new release is Lorenz Peter’s first solo effort. “Alone At The Foam Party” gives a very complete picture of the artist’s sense of drama, humor and current musical tastes.

“The formula has always been about making use of what is there, whether it be a TV, a bus, a keyboard, or a computer. Found sounds, cassettes, radios, and recycled recordings have always been a big part of the process. On “Cadillac Billy”, I have reworked a song from my “Things” days into something very different and relevant, using what is available on a computer."

Lorenz Peter's debut album for the paper+sound label is named Alone At The Foam Party.

Heiki (Hey-Key) is a veteran of the Toronto electronic music scene. Since 1987,
Heiki Sillaste has released an impressive catalogue of well over 45 synthesizer-based records and made over 150 compilation appearances. Heiki began his musical career fronting the acclaimed industrial-tekno group Digital Poodle in the late 80's to early 90's and ran the now infamous Shadow Canada label. In 1995, he went on to co-found nice+smooth ultramedia, an independent electronic music label and record with his band Kinder Atom.
Screen Door is taken from Heiki’s debut 12 track album Paper+Sound, his first album as a solo artist, available on both CD and digital download. The album is stylistically divided into two halves. The first half of the album features spacey minimal deep techno with an emphasis on sub woofing baselines and melodic atmospheres. The second half of the Paper+Sound album explores slower, dubbed out down tempo rhythms. Rib cage shaking bass and discrete ambient flourishes feature on all of the subtle melodic soundscapes.

Screen Door


Külm Järve Vesi appears on Sauna Porch Recordings Co., the second full-length by Toronto electronic music scene veteran Heiki. Külm Järve Vesi translated from Estonian means Cold Lake Water.

The album is a collection of new music entirely composed and recorded on the porch of the rustic sauna cabin his father designed and built in Georgian Bay over 35 years ago. Heiki made these recordings by creating a live, chilled soundtrack first, then sitting back and absorbing the Georgian Bay lake view and natural surroundings for inspiration. Occasionally he would set up a microphone, record, and then process the natural sounds of the surroundings – the wind, the birds, the rustling of leaves in the wind,
people swimming, or motorboats and canoes passing by.
Most of the initial music was quickly recorded as loops in the morning then slowly built up over the
course of a day. Songs were then revisited, treated, layered and re-built over the course of a few
weeks (or years, in some cases). Washes of sound were created by processing the field recordings
then layering them with synthesizer tones and sequences, creating a fusion of natural and
synthesized resonances.

Sauna Porch Recordings Co. is released in download format and a strictly limited
250 copy digipack edition.

Following last year’s dreamSTATE VS. Heiki “The North Shore”
album, paper+sound label boss Heiki Sillaste releases his first solo
single in two years.
Moving away from the zero-bpm ambience of his last album, Heiki’s
“Future System” track is an uptempo stripped down techno stomper.
Opening with a seriously DEEP sub-bass and dubbed out percussion,
the single progresses into a chunky rhythm, battling syncopated
synth stabs.
A subtle phased synth arpeggio is introduced mid-way through
the track, creating a melancholic melody, while disjointed “found”
voices stream in and out of the mix. A polyrhythmic 303 acid
baseline peaks “Future System”.
Heiki is currently at work on his next full-length album, due
for release on paper+sound later this year. “I’ve dusted off all of
the vintage analogue synths and array of ancient drum machines
that I’ve collected over the years. Combining the old gear with the
advances in the iOS world of music making, has helped me in the
process of creating new loops and sounds that will form the basis
of my new records.”
Heiki (Hey-Key) is a veteran of the Toronto electronic music
scene. Since 1987, Heiki Sillaste has released an impressive
catalogue of well over 45 synthesizer-based records and made
over 150 compilation appearances.
Written and Produced by Heiki Sillaste at Wright Sounds, Toronto.
