Silvercoat the throng

Nomad (ft. travis)

Forest Kelley's debut album, Silt, is the culmination of a decade-long sonic realization of a singular vision: nematoda, annelida, and other abyssal worms inhabiting the aphotic depths, sensing each other without light. Living and cavorting amongst a carpet of compressed dust and organic matter, as unaware of our existence as we are of theirs. To create this 'soundscape ecology', Kelley began developing custom software in 2018. It allows for sounds to function as organisms: to be born, express themselves, change through friction with their world, and then dissipate, transcend, or die. Silt represents a snapshot of this world; the raw material for this particular instance includes guitar-based recordings dating from 2004 in collaboration with Jacob Uretsky. Through Kelley's exacting and intuitive selection of the results, we are presented with an ever-evolving selection of sounds. On their surface perhaps intersecting with ambient dub techno tropes, but Silt draws the listener ever deeper into the zone with its organically shifting textures and events.

Forest Kelley is an artist, electronic musician, and experimental composer based in Lexington, Kentucky. In 2018, he contributed music to the score for the Academy Award-nominated and Criterion Collection-selected documentary 'Hale County This Morning, This Evening ' along with composers Alex Somers and Scott Alario.

"SILT" CASSETTE

ENXPL13 - FOREST KELLEY- SIDE B EXCERPT FROM "SILT"

One year after the release of Gryphon Rue and Merche Blasco’s North of The Future, Tigersushi presents Resounding: North of The Future, transmutations of the album by a dynamic group of sound artists summoned by Gryphon and Merche, queering the notion of the “remix” and replacing it with a far more radical entity. 

In 2020’s New York summer, Gryphon Rue and Merche Blasco gathered for sonic purges. Seeded in a deep yearning to disrupt the idle thick air of quarantine, these purges became an emotional conduit. The music charts non-idiomatic improvisations bound to deformations of time and place. Drawn and refined from these sessions, North Of The Future is an accurate and sublime summation of a profoundly mournful year – it is a blissful, yet frightening album. Merche Blasco’s scarcely governable EMS Synthi AKS (“Cintia”) tangles signals with Gryphon Rue’s custom synth (“Fritz”), threaded with siren-calls of the duo’s bowed saws and harmonium. 

Resounding: North of The Future was sparked by a remark by the writer and curator Bob Nickas, who claimed he could hear "space station disco" in the afterglow of the music. From this departure point, Gryphon and Merche invited electronic and media artists to channel the tracks with their distinct voices. The result is a wild assemblage, drifting in languorous ambiences that haunt and soothe, nourish and dissolve into, out of, and beyond crescendo.

Featuring Bergsonist, Joakim, Will Epstein (AKA High Water), Jenn Grossman, León & Sayed, Lee Gilboa, Ruth Garbus and Bryce Hackford.

Bergsonist’s mesmerizing darbuka grooves over shivering chords and ominous textures, bookending the collection with her second remix of Super Tender (punningly titled Tenderize).

Waterfall Cave - limited/50 - Tape release

Release date : 3th nov 2022

Impossible de deviner que, derrière cet épais entrelacs de branches, se trouve l'entrée d'une grotte. C'est une simple fente dans la paroi, dont s'échappe une odeur profonde, chargée de vie et de mort mêlés.
Après quelques mètres à peine, l'air se fait lourd et saturé d'humidité, les ténèbres s'épaississent. 
La progression est lente et chaotique, car il faut maintenant s'aider des mains dans ce qui n'est plus qu'un boyau étroit.

Après un parcours qui semblait interminable, dans une oppressante absence de lumière, de mouvement et d'espace, le boyau s'ouvre sur une vaste caverne, et une bruine fraîche se dépose sur votre visage.
Dans cette vaste salle, une chute d'eau s'écoule dans un lac aux remous envoûtants, et des pierres bleutées incrustées partout dans les parois dégagent une faible lueur, donnant l'illusion d'une nuit étoilée, vous tombez à genoux, et tout semble s'élever.

Heavy revisit of Heimat - Unterwegs track,  by UVB76 

Teenage menopause strikes again releasing Heimat - REMIXES.
Following two manifesto-albums, which quickly became an influence of marginal musics in France, Olivier Demeaux & Armelle Oberlé asked artists whose directions they share to revisit some of the flagship titles of their catalog.

"We thus find there the priest of the English pysché Sonic Boom? the cantor of slow techno Toloose Low Trax, the experimenter of the modular_synths Le Crabe or Zohar, UVB76, PlimPlim and many others."

[PREMIERE] Heimat - Unterwegs - UVB76 Remix [Teenage Menopause records]

"...The idea of humanity, when purged of all sentimentality, has the very serious consequence that in one form or another men must assume responsibility for all crimes committed by men and that all nations share the onus of evil committed by all others." Hannah Arendt, Organized Guilt and Universal Responsibility 

Following up on 2022's "Allegories", Insurgency continues its music curation series with "Crimes of the 20th Century". The compilation explores untraditional portrayals of violence and examines relations between industrial music and perceptions of cruelty. The label and its invited musicians intend to oppose the weaponized usage of music by extremist groups; instead, "Crimes of the 20th Century" invites listeners to reflect on collective responsibility for modern atrocity — as it is exhibited by a roster of contemporary experimental artists — within historical and psychological contexts.

Haze

People may be getting better at predicting the future and what skills we need to adapt to societal-level changes, but the speed at which things are changing is outpacing our predictions about what will be useful for us to know. These are some songs about examples of things people thought would be useful to know about some decades ago. The photograph was taken during the recent (April 8, 2024) eclipse.

Tusagi — Eerindínlógún

off-key cover of I`m so tired* by Fugazi

``out here, I can barely breathe,
surrounded by jealousy and greed.
I can`t be reached, only had one call,
trapped underneath, separate from you all.

this time i lost my return,
in spite of what i learned.
I hid my tracks, spit out all my air,
slipped into cracks, stripped of all my cares.

I`m so tired. sheep are counting me.
no more struggle, no more energy,
no more patient, you can write that down.
it`s all too crazy. I won`t stick around.``

*with slight lyrics adjustments, because of dyslexia, speech impediment and because why not;


**I was too tired to rerecord so just added another layer that was done with both the volca and vocoder set in slightly different pitches, hence it`s extremely off-key, but kinda fun in a way somehow imh0
