Fantastic track. I wonder, would you mind if I used a small sample segment in a musical composition? It wouldn't be a commercial product as I'm just an amateur music lover. I would of course credit you in the track info. Kind regards, John

Myxomy - Myxomy (SUB042)

Artistic collaborations don't have to be exhaustive, competitive or combative. And for Berlin-based producers James Ginzburg and Ziúr, their work together as myxomy has been almost effortless. Both artists bring with them a deep history of recording in vastly different circumstances: Ginzburg has worked on bass music, folk, experimental techno (as half of Emptyset) and experimental drone, while Ziúr played in a number of bands before settling into her current explorative electronic mode. So when they started working together in 2020, it was their respective backgrounds that provided the touch-paper for an explosive artistic head-to-head.

Ginzburg instigated the process by sending Ziúr beats he'd made in Bristol in a former life, and Ziúr, fresh from finishing her PAN-released third solo album "Antifate", set about sculpting them into completely new forms. In response, Ziúr dispatched vignettes to Ginzburg and he did the same. As they exchanged ideas back and forth and lapsed into absurdity, the songs followed suit, evolving from raw concepts and loops into proper songs as both Ziúr and Ginzburg traded melodies, lyrics and production tricks. The duo's fragmented sketches and scribbles took on new life, channeled, refined and re-invigorated as they developed into anxious, hybridized pop jewels.

Their surprising stylistic choice is revealed immediately on opening track 'Sloppy Attempt', a fractured mood stabilizer that dissociates from Bristolian trip-hop into glossy android pop. Ziúr's singing voice carries the track into a sonic black hole, mutated into an alien gurgle as she gently coos the prophetic words, "a sloppy attempt won't cut it, no no." And as Ginzburg takes the reins on 'A little opaque', singing over Ziúr's twisted neon electronics, it's clear that both artists have pushed each other outside of their comfort zones, providing the reassurance and comfort necessary to evolve.

On 'In and Until', they find an exact median between their two most recent albums. Twanging hurdy-gurdy sounds remind of Ginzburg's 'crystallise, a frozen eye', compelled forward by brittle foley percussion we last heard on "Antifate". A scalding industrial boil of deranged synthesizer squeals and rolling drums parts like the Red Sea on 'Toxin Out', cooling to a crust for Ziúr's half-sung words to echo overhead. "Burn the bridges it's a choice, eat the rich, and throw up on the fuckbois."

"Myxomy" isn't an overtly political album, but driven by a desire to create and a shared philosophical space, Ziúr and Ginzburg are naturally outspoken. Their vision of pop is twisted through history and floated on frustration, growth and constant reinvention. It's a unique mix of polar elements - light and dark, noise and silence, joy and melancholy - that centers itself on one important theme: together, we're far more powerful than we ever could be alone.

Post Carbon. The time when the carbon-based energy stops flowing like blood in the veins of society as we know it today. The carbon era is drawing to an unavoidable end with the depletion of easily accessible and high-quality oil and coal deposits, with the depletion of the biosphere's capacity to re-absorb the carbon. Our dependence on carbon-based fuels must end.

Post Carbon compilation has been created as a direct support to the Limity jsme my movement, which joins the global efforts to find fair solutions to climate changes and secure a future free from dirty fossil fuels, especially coal. It seeks to put an end to mining and combustion of coal in the Czech Republic as quickly as possible and ensure a fair transition to renewable energy sources. By purchasing the compilation, you will give support to the movement.

Post Carbon. Doba, ve které energie z uhlíku přestane proudit jako krev v žilách společnosti, jak ji známe dnes. Uhlíková éra odchází nevyhnutelně s vyčerpáváním snadno dostupných a kvalitních ložisek ropy a uhlí, s vyčerpáváním kapacity biosféry uhlík znovu pohlcovat. Naše závislost na uhlíku musí skončit.

Kompilace vzniká jako přímá podpora hnutí Limity jsme my, které se zapojuje do globálního úsilí o spravedlivé řešení změn klimatu a budoucnost bez špinavých fosilních paliv, zejména uhlí. Usiluje o co nejrychlejší ukončení těžby a spalování uhlí v České republice a spravedlivý přechod na obnovitelné zdroje energie. Stažením kompilace finančně podpoříte činnost hnutí.

Zastoupení autoři vystoupili na událostech SOfT v roce 2018 v produkci HaDivadlo.

Trauma - Club Climate

Bat field recordings from a recent trip to the North GA mountains. This sound clip was captured using the Anabat SD2 - Bat Detector - high microphone. This device allows you to monitor the ultrasonic echolocation calls of bats for species identification and activity measurement. The particular species of bat in this recording are the Indiana Bat. The typical hearing range of this bat is between 20hz - 150Khz. They locate their prey by means of echolocation. They will produce a very, loud short sound and assess the echo when it bounces back. The type of insect and how big it is can be determined by the quality of the echo and time it takes for the echo to rebound. They also use two frequency types; constant frequency (CF) and frequency modulated (FM) calls that descend in pitch. Each type reveals different information for the bat. The CF is used to detect an object, and the FM is used to provide information regarding the nature of the object and its distance. The pulses of sound produced by the bat last only a few thousandths of a second with silences between the calls that give time to listen for the information coming back in the form of a echo. I was amazed at how complex some of these  echolocation patterns looked on a sonogram and was even more blown away by how they sounded. This file was outputted from the Anabat software application which takes the bat calls and converts them to wave files. The Anabat software application also converted the calls to a audible human hearing range (20hz-20khz) as most of the bats calls went up into the 150khz range.
