We are quite pleased to be bringing you this new record of mind-bending, pseudo liturgical and lysergic electro acoustic compositions from Paris based, Belarusian composer Lina Filipovich.  

This is an album of broken and obscured grandeur, partially incorporating heavily distressed classical music samples, in particular from Sergei Rachmaninov’s piece, “All-Night Vigil”.  

With it’s dark echoes of early Doctor Who episodes, and it’s bent and twisted, industrially tinged and distorted choral decay, it seems at times an ominous soundtrack to an end of the world sci-fi film.

Lina Filipovich, "Magnificat"  Song Of Simeon

One track from the second release in the new SYM CD-series!
ILLUSION OF SAFETY - New Rules, Same Game, Less Instruction

info: Chicago's post- / ambient industrial legend is back with a work that combines electronic sounds and field recordings: microscopic audio events, loops, heavily processed material of all kinds form seven multi-layered collages that seem to be full of electro-magnetic static, morphing and transforming like a hallucinogenic object in every second and in all possible directions...in all it's subtleness this is far away from the shock treatment noises of the early IOS times. 
'New Rules, Same Game, Less Instruction' is the first release of new IOS compositions since 'Surrender' in 2015. Featuring extensive synthesizer source material as well as other now familiar electro-acoustic techniques, it is conceived as a follow up to the 1995 3” CD release of 'Rules Of The Game', alluding to the social, political, and psychological games humans engage in for validation, survival, or dominance. New Rules, same game, less instruction, harsher penalty. Illusion Of Safety now more than ever.

Mastering: THOMAS DIMUZIO / Artwork: DAN BURKE

Seq3maj7_1_demo

this is a very similar patch as Untitled VI, except that now there are three voices instead of one: SMR, piston honda (which is also in the rosie efx loop from time to time, which is a bad habit/crutch that i lean on way too often) and e350. SMR is droning and fluttering into clouds, while the piston honda and e350 are both hitting an optomix before going into rings for some reverb. there is also a field recording churning in the background inside the disting, which i am randomly and manually controlling the playback speed on. 

i could listen to this for hours (and did)

This is an excerpt from a 36 minute piece for the Longform Editions label, a collective for deep listening. Came out a few weeks ago. 
------------------------
Artist notes: 

This piece is the result of nearly a month spent in the Canadian city of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan during Autumn. I was in Saskatoon to develop a new work and much of my time was spent wandering around this city, which I discovered was also referred to as the 'city of bridges' recording various bridges, as well as streetscapes, the South Saskatchewan River, and people vibrating various structures in Saskatoon, raised pavements, the bridges themselves, and this very cool and narrow pedestrian and train bridge. I have been interested for quite a while now in the ways people contribute sonically to the making of particular spaces, and so this was my focus here. In this recording you will also hear various recordings from cafes I visited in Saskatoon, and the soundtracks I encountered there, I should hat tip The Underground Cafe where I went almost every day. There is also the bass throb from one guy's car who stopped to pump out some thrash metal-ish sounding music, but from the outside all I could hear was this muffled thump, which I found quite hilarious and excellent and also there is a sample from the Saskatoon-based band Waitress, who are a very excellent band I met while there and who allowed me to use a snippet of one of their tracks for this piece. Apart from some very minor edits this piece was performed as it is live in my studio in Brixton, London using field recordings from Saskatoon alongside vibrating wires, strings, squeaking magnetic tape, a zither, shakers, a gong and an owl horn. It is based loosely on the performance I gave in Saskatoon for the Sounds Like Festival in October, 2018.

City Of Bridges (excerpt) out now on Longform Editions

World has slowed down. 
Hidden beneath a skin of fear.

All Silver was created during the first days of the Corona shutdown.
Made with passion and modular synths.

https://blearmoon.bandcamp.com/album/windbreak
Windbreak single produced in early June of 2020 in the peak of seclusion in Snezhinsk, Russia where I accidentally confounded for several mounts far away from my natural habitat, friends and family. 
This piece is one of the few that resulted from my attempts to adjust in forced situation and find a ways for music creation in given situation and tools. 
Windbreak resulted from my exploration acoustic properties of current living place and ambiance around it with use of tape machines and various texturing techniques of digitally synthesized melodies.
