Big Science Records presents Leo James’ latest release Féth Fíada, a distillation of the musical ideas James has been developing in his recent work. A collection of hypnotic repetitions, held saxophone notes, synthesiser drones and beautiful chords, the record is full of life and rich in texture. The music is an exploration of disconnection, longing and catharsis, and is both deeply personal and wide open to the listener - emotion hidden in plain sight.  

In recent years James has released records with Patience, Berceuse Heroique, Neubau and his own imprint Body Language. In 2020 he was asked to remix a song from the collaborative project of Ariel Kalma and Gilbert Cohen, released on Versatile Records. In July 2021, James collaborated with renowned Aboriginal artist Daniel Boyd for his solo exhibition 'Treasure Island' at Kukje Gallery, Seoul. Boyd created a 6 minute video work that was projected alongside his paintings. Titled Rivers, the projection was soundtracked by Leo James' track of the same name.

The record will be out on end of November 29t 2021. Limited Edition 100x 12 inches records, distributed by Rubadub, and available as digital on Spotify, iTunes and Deezer soon.

[BGSC2105] Leo James - Féth Fíada (Snippets)

Revel in Alchemulator’s fantasy world of larping druids, brought to life with the infamous Yamaha PSS480 keyboard. The history of the Yamaha PSS FM range keyboards of the late 1980’s is fascinating and niche: a cheap consumer semi-toy home keyboard with spartan synthesizer functions based around a specially designed FM sound chip.

The chip, which is a low cost and cut down version of FM synthesis found in the mighty Yamaha DX7 - the digital synthesizer that defined pop music in the 1980’ - brings forth a mere sketch of its distant DX7 cousin. Feeble attempts to emulate the mighty DX7’s electric piano or staccato bass sounds on one of these keyboards are futile. Instead, a plethora of unique lo-fi tones resound. Unexpected artifacts are plentiful: cracks and hisses are present, giving the sounds a strange otherworldly and organic undercurrent, which are to be heard on the album.

This chip found its way in a number of 1990’s computer sound cards, scoring the music of many RPG adventure game worlds, exposing an entire generation of geeks and cyberpunks to its digital dusty yet crystalline warm spectrum of sounds. The instant association with fantasy adventures makes it ideal for old school dungeon synth composing. Escape this savage life and enter Alchemulator’s great gardens of Thalamere, located Southwest of Fairsnake Hamlet.

HOSHINA ANNIVERSARY - HISYOCHI
IMPTNC03
LP & digital - July 22, 2022.

“But when you make music, listen to music, and feel inside your heart, you will find… what you want is peace of mind.”

Hoshina Anniversary offers a new LP of fluid, alchemical dance music in the shape of Hisyochi, on Impatience. Moving well beyond the initial influence of jazz fusion, electronica and his Japanese heritage, Hoshina Anniversary continues to carve deeper into his own cosm, and Hisyochi arguably represents this prolific producer at his most singular, refined and potent yet.

With nowhere to go and little to do, Hoshina was making music at a seemingly unstoppable torrent throughout the pandemic, sometimes sketching close to 100 tracks in any given month. Opening up a session from a previous track, he would erase all but one element, using it as a starting point for a completely new experiment, lending the body of work a subtle yet tangible coherence. Hisyochi was pieced together from a swathe of productions that came out of a particularly fertile period in the first half of 2021, which also birthed his recent release on Patience, Hyakunin Isshu. 

Roughly translating to “somewhere cool to relax during a hot summer” according to Hoshina, Hisyochi transcends seasons but undoubtedly runs hot. Drum patterns are crisp, varied and invariably body-moving, basslines ascend at vertigo-inducing velocity, and dimly-lit jazz-bar piano is often the only element anchoring the sound to terra firma. 

Following the plaintive, palette cleansing introduction of Rakka, Irahu plots the course with a light arpeggiator over a chugging rhythm before a warbly piano line to creeps in the back door. Misebayana is a jolt of gyrating mutant dance, part video game suspense and part footwork for drums and koto, while Kokoro no Heisei (Peace Of Mind) sees Hoshina deliver a salvo to stillness over a meandering, dubby spacewalk. Roman is an invigorating cut of warped dancehall tango, while the closing title track perfectly encapsulates the essence of the record and Hoshina Anniversary in 2022 in one elegant, acidic rinse.

Hoshina Anniversary is Yoshinobu Hoshina, from Hachioji, outside of Tokyo. He’s released records as Hoshina Anniversary on ESP Institute, Alien Jams and Youth, under his Suemori moniker for Osare! Editions and as Shifting Gears for Toucan Sounds, amongst others.

Hisyochi was written, produced and mixed by Hoshina Anniversary. It was mastered by Josh Bonati in NYC, and artwork is by Luca Schenardi.

https://soundcloud.com/user-554019012

Nose Job presents eleven subversive and throbbing dub-not-dub tunes on NOOIT NOOIT. Translated as ‘never never’ this convergent compilation depicts the facelessness and disarray within inner city life. Sludge, broken glass, rats and alleyways – sonic images flashing through the mind – traffic lights, raindrops, concrete and endless nights. Do you still follow? Are you being followed? Is your consciousness playing you tricks? Vibrant, buzzing, grim et louche – NOOIT NOOIT gives an ode to all dreaming dwellers in singular Nose Job style. Enter Brussel’s underworld.

Bandcamp: https://solotape.bandcamp.com/album/days-on-end-pt-i


“Days On End” serves as a sonic archive of mid-pandemic moods. Through a collection of live-recorded tracks, it captures a raw, creative burst from Solotape during a period of stripped-down production. Signature rhythm-work and gritty sound design return for this extensive collection, released in two parts.

“I was kind of burnt out on music early during the pandemic - everyone at my house was suddenly home all the time and I never had any alone time to work on it. Eventually, I ended up renting a shared rehearsal spot nearby in San Francisco. My audio interface was still at home when I first moved in there, so I didn't have a way to digitally record. I brought my tape deck instead and pressed record when things started sounding good.”

“My whole setup was pretty basic with less instruments than I usually have. There was a sort of simplicity to making stuff that I think was good for me. I was just excited to work on music again, and wasn’t obsessing over the technicalities. I didn’t have any particular plans for what I was recording, and just set the tapes aside for a while. I had forgotten most of what I had recorded by the time I returned to them months later. I didn’t know what to expect once I listened back and essentially rediscovered all of the material like it was new. The tapes felt like a physical little time capsule of an earlier period. After I realized that I liked what I had made, I dubbed the tapes to digital and made some edits to clean them up. Almost everything from the three tapes is included here.”

Despite this simplified approach (or perhaps because of it), Solotape has created a body of work that is full of excitement, joy, and playfulness, as well as frustration, catharsis, and dread. At times rambling, at others immediate and visceral, it resembles a series of vignettes, tied together through a common tonal palette and form rather than emotional valence. “Days On End” strikes a balance of raw emotion and analog textures, providing an honest snapshot into the artist's internal world.

/// SYNCBOY /// rarely showing his head out the machines, was discovered by the live he played at Sameheads, Berlin, in 2016. This gloomy psychedelic & tenebrous universe pushed me in an total extase at the first listen. We could imagine it's a band playing ... But it's a one-man project propulsing into the most minimalistic aspects of electronic music through misty atmospheres.

/// SHITCLUSTER ///, long time collective or artisans/ Den Haag's duo explores sounds where nobody goes... Presenting an Harsh/Tech/No-ise world with delirious touch penetrating deeper & deeper into your mind. They are running the CHAN'S label, releasing self stuff or local musicians... . HERE, access to forbidden, rare disturbing archives: (http://www.loslaten.tk/blog/tag/shitcluster/) 

/// TOLOUSE LOW TRAX /// Kreidler's member, Salon des Amateurs's resident, one of the newest Düsseldorf activist appears a lot these days... But long time before all of that, he permitted to bring up attention to the local scene and be connected to a certain 'hyped' scene, bringing a lot of eyes on him and release on labels like... Bureau B, Karaoke Kalk,Wonder, Themes For Great Cities & Kiff SM/ Detlef Weinrich signed a non-compromised techno. His groove is slow, hypnotical, tenebrous & brutal, but not only ... This is a sensitive, orchestrated -   progressive sound. 
 
/// ART & TECHNIQUE /// is a late 70's french group run by Bernard Filipetti who was oriented into the purest objectivity of what is call "creation". Uniting with people sharing similar vision of art, he was firstly creator of dark ambient sounds with D. Grimaud (former of Camizole)and then, influenced by technical contemporary process, started to create what English journalists defined as 'industrial music, late 70's. Art & Technique only released 2 albums & 2 singles but never died... Still alive, composing music and playing live, Bernard is still exploring electronic sound through his large and organic parisian studio. 
The track from the tape was recorded in 1982 with a Bernard's friend called "Fernand", rue Chaptal, Paris.
