Alessandro Adriani - A man who would come here of his own free will

PREMIERE > http://inverted-audio.com/premiere-lake-haze-s-m-h

@lakehaze 'S.M.H' [@shallnotfade] is a straight up nostalgic lift across cloudy, pad-upholstered skylines and emotional flat shifts, slowly heckled by a passive-aggressive onslaught of 303 swells. A full-on threatening vibe and intense magnetic blast.

Lake Haze - S.M.H [Shall Not Fade]

To be released June 27th, 2016

Mannequin Records’ Alessandro Adriani is up next for Pinkman’s White Label series and the flavour is unapologetically wave. Melodies ghost, whisper and finally roar as the Italian pushes the parameters of darkened electronics. Croaking samples and brutish percussion coiling to a bitter end.

PBD02 - Alessandro Adriani - Guerrilla Warfare

Handstamped 12" in a white disco sleeve.
To be released May 22nd 2017.

Alessandro Adriani weaves a nightmarish scenario as the Mannequin man returns to Pinkman's Broken Dreams with four hardened works. Beats are shaven into rigid points as EBM echoes are speared with contemporary contempt. Throughout the quartet are moments of exotic abstraction, psychological stresses and visceral disorders. Music for sleepless nights and addled minds.

Alessandro Adriani - Enter The Fire
A1. He Who Harnesses The Souls
Release date: December 8th 2017
12" / Digital

It was probably only a matter of time until eclectic producer and Mannequin label founder Alessandro Adriani would join up with Stroboscopic Artefacts, since both are heavily invested in taking electronic music listeners outside of their comfort zone and into a world of unpredictable outcomes. Adriani’s debut EP for the label, Enter the Fire, is the first evidence of a new mutation in the Stroboscopic DNA, as can be seen by a shift in Ignazio Mortellaro’s design work for the label (it is in keeping with the previous horticultural theme of the records, but now features directly scanned objects - in this case a single leaf features on the cover). 

Adriani’s work has appeared at a time when, even as electronic music continues to expand into all kinds of new territories, many still associate its signature sounds (analog synthesis, quantized percussion etc.) exclusively with the time in which they first began to make a significant cultural impact. Fortunately, innovators like Adriani ignore this belief that sounds must remain harnessed to a specific point in human history: his attitude towards music making is that the changing circumstances of our environments always have the potential to put a fresh spin on the sounds associated with a previous time and place. In other words, he does not cater to any conceptions of “retro” or dreams of future past. His curriculum vitae as a producer, event organizer, and label owner all comes back to this ethos of getting beyond the “museum exhibit” mentality to music and keeping it vital in the here and now.

The music on Enter the Fire will not disappoint fans of the hard-edged, aerodynamic style that Adriani has perfected over the years: his skillful distillation of the most impactful elements from genres like EBM, acid, darkwave and industrial is on display the moment that the needle lands upon the grooves of the opening track “He Who Harnesses The Souls”. The track’s cycling sense of urgency builds as one hectic sequence is screened on top of the other, with the topmost layer providing a gorgeous melodic sheen to it all. This is followed up with “Rituals (707 EBM Version)” a tense martial stomp designed around a classically effective sequence of 16th notes and brusing kick drum. As these elements intensify the feeling of inhuman discipline through a series of flanging and filtering techniques, chilly phantom noises hint at a state of profound mental and physical exhaustion. 

The B-side shows that music with sheer bionic strength it isn’t the only card Adriani has to play, either within his repertoire as a whole or on this single slab of vinyl. It kicks off with a (relatively speaking!) more contemplative version of “Rituals,” a deviously designed mirage of shifting audio sands in which many different elements (i.e. some hesitant guitar figures, wordless vocalizations) come into view but remain tantalizingly out of reach. The program’s conclusion, “Astronomy”, evokes something more like the cultivated patience of a private investigator on a stakeout (one who is, of course, equipped with all necessary means of technological surveillance). Continuous high-frequency tones, magnified sections of surface noise, and a multitude of other encoded signals all descend on the listener and like a sort of dub music for the ‘peak information’ age.

Alessandro Adriani is best known as the man behind the ascendant Mannequin label, but this Italian-born, Berlin-based artist is also an accomplished producer in his own right. 'Enter the Fire' is his forthcoming blast of industrial- and EBM-infused techno, and it's slated to arrive on November 3 via Lucy's Stroboscopic Artefacts imprint. Ahead of that, we debuted this hard-charging version of "Rituals" on Red Bull Radio's First Floor, our weekly look at what's new in electronic music.

How is your conduit today?
My blood’s running down
What’s that supposed to mean?
I’m dying, man! I’m dying!


https://soundcloud.com/alessandro-adriani-mannequinrecords's excellent tune 'Blood Runs Down' reminds me of those classic industrial tunes from the 80s and makes my little synth wave’s heart go boom-boom. 
Truly atmospheric and mesmerizing, from https://soundcloud.com/minimalrome's second compilation Trame Due, a full length double LP release.

No 4mat - Notes From Moscow

Hush Hush - Rather Be Nothing To You

Brussels, monday 1 AM. Capital of a united Europe, its inhabitants separated by cultural  spheres along lingual lines. Yet, in the back of a dimly lit pub they encounter one another surrounded by nocturnal buzz and the smell of skimpy beer. The night is a place where poets, authors and musicians dwell, in an attempt to leave everyday reality behind in favor of a universal nowhere in particular.

Nachtdichter (poet of the night) is the world of Victor de Roo, assisted by the words of Alex Deforce: “Meer naar café's, ze gaan dicht zonder ons”.

Releasedate 7th of January, 2019

Victor De Roo - Voorbenachte Rade [Out January 14]

https://www.discogs.com/A-Gethsemani-%C3%82me-Triste/release/12914924

Tunnel Vision Records is delighted to introduce you this forgotten masterpiece : 

A Gethsémani ‎– Âme Triste . 

Reissued for the first time in vinyl.

Self-released in 1987, 'Ame Triste' was officially the first production of Bernard Odot aka A Gethsemani.

This obscure cassette was stuck in the past for many years until we had the chance to get in touch with it. Influenced by new wave & synth-pop, Bernard made a unique and powerfull piece of art by his own hands using a DX7 Yamaha and his own material. 
The track 'Cheree', sung by his old friend Isabelle Morival is an hommage to crucial experimental Alan Vega's band Suicide.

"La musique était une des passions de mon père - avec la littérature -, modestement assouvie par
l’usage d’un simple tourne-disque. Jusqu’à son décès, à mes neuf ans, la « grande » musique baignait
les fins de journées, de semaines et les vacances. La musique, elle, est restée, comme un aliment, un
moyen d’existence, nécessaire, exigible, nourrissant des curiosités indistinctes.
Quelques années plus tard - j’étais au lycée -, l’acquisition d’un DX7 Yamaha a remplacé mon premier
clavier, un Casiotone 7000 qui disposait d’une mémoire à piste multiple avec laquelle je fourbissais
des armes d’autodidacte. Avec trois amis ardennais nous avions formé un groupe de musique
électronique industrielle, Anackarsis Section (un de nos titres, Étape Mortelle, figurait d’ailleurs en
clôture d’Âme Triste sur la cassette originale). En même temps, je commençais d’enregistrer seul,
avec un quatre-piste cassette prêté par la radio-libre locale, des morceaux plus mélodiques, aux
ambiances sombres. La voix, très présente, était une texture de la matière sonore, les textes
n’avaient guère d’importance.
Dominique Diebold, fondateur du label rémois AYAA, m’a donné l’idée et l’envie de faire des
cassettes comme on ferait des disques, avec un contenu choisi, une pochette, un support diffusable.
La première chose à faire étant de choisir un nom, ma curiosité pour la religion et mon goût pour
l’esthétique gothique m’a guidé vers À Gethsémani, un nom biblique désignant le lieu où Jésus prie
avant son arrestation ; un moment évoquant à la fois la menace et l’apaisement que la nuit instaure.
Avec Isabelle Morival va naître l’idée d’un duo musical et d’une certaine répartition voix/instruments,
qui s’incarnera pleinement par la suite." Some words by Bernard Odot,December 2018.

Artwork by Clément Bertrand.
Limited edition of 500 copies. With gatefolder and special insert.
Out soon on Tunnel Vision Records.

-

Rotterdam is miserably cold and rainy. Plagued by gentrification and technological unemployment, the harbor city is slowly turning into a desolate, mechanized metropolis. 

Secretly tucked away on the outskirts, if you know where to look, there are a few remaining military bunkers. This is where the city’s youth go sporadically to relieve their anger and grief. During these nights, they tirelessly rage to the dystopian sound of Gamma Intel’s slow-burning electro and hypno-acid, before returning to the struggles of their daily lives.
