Oren Ambarchi 'Quixotism Part 5' (eMEGO 202)

Andrea Belfi - "Natura Morta" out november 7th on Miasmah.

Natura Morta, "dead nature" or "still life". This album can be understood as a powerful study of the minute details of the art of electro-acoustic composition, as much as the Renaissance "nature morte" were a masterful display of the artist’s skill in portraying the glow of a ripe fruit, or capturing the light beaming on a vacant chair.

Six tracks, to be listened to as two long explorations in the art of variation and repetition. Layers of drums and percussions intertwine with synth waves making the portrait come to life, detail after detail, until a complex figure emerges from the white canvas. The constant, unsteady sounds, wavering noise, swirling cymbals, and distant feedback gently pull the listener into the picture, letting them enjoy every detail of this beautifully staged compositions.

Recorded at EMS studio, Stockholm, ZKM in Karlsruhe and at the legendary Funkhaus in Berlin, this album mixes influences from both Italian minimalism and the electro-acoustic contemporary scene. Somewhere in between the electronics of Keith Fullerton Whitman, the percussive repetitions of Jon Mueller, and the atmospheric sensibility of Pan-American.

Andrea Belfi - Roteano

"In Tandem II" is stripped back to only 5 piano sound files. No extra piano was recorded for this piece. Play "In Tandem I" and at the 1 minute mark, start playing "In Tandem II" in unison with the first track. It makes for a very interesting sound experience. Imagine you are singing in song in a round, this is what you are doing with these two pieces. The music is much fuller. Many people may wonder what is the purpose of the second piece. The idea is to break down the original piece and that is exactly what happened. The piano sounds were cut in half which leaves the listener with a minimalist piece where you can predict what is coming. No, this is not an academic exercise. It is actually a lot of fun doing this, it shows me how every piece of music is linked together. Everything is connected.

We believe that « everything is a remix »

Remixes are a major part of the electronic music history. The club culture take off on remixes, some of the greatest dance hits where made from remixing original tracks.
Our primary purpose is to highlight this exercise by offering the opportunity to artists to either work on a remix or offer a track to be remixed by an artist they admire. It is overseen and curated by independent music lovers and supported by The Absolut Company, a brand that is permanently involved in the field of contemporary arts and creation with a tradition of supporting artists such as Keith Haring and Andy Warhol at their very early stage of their career. The Absolut Remix project is dedicated to the art of combining or editing existing materials, to produce something new.

As a start, every last Thursday of the month, we will unveil a new remix, from a newcomer or a legend, from disco to techno or IDM and house music. And more to come...

Entanglement

Jessica Moss • "Particles (Edit)"

'Fear Of Floating' is the second single from Australian-born, Liverpool-based composer, saxophonist and founder of Immix Ensemble, Daniel Thorne. The track, taken from Daniel's solo debut 'Lines of Sight', is a grand, transposing soundscape that places Daniel’s saxophone front-and-centre, allowing the abstract beauty of his meandering and contorting melody to breathe, amongst the chaotic backdrop of spiralling undulating effects. 'Fear Of Floating' perfectly encapsulates the atmosphere of the record; equal parts magnificent, unnerving, mind-bending and deeply satisfying.     
 
"Although the album wasn't written to follow a specific narrative, I felt it should have the feeling of a journey, leaving a place of chaos and noise and arriving somewhere both serene and unfamiliar. As the final track on the album, I wanted 'Fear of Floating' to be to be the opposite of the album’s beginning ('From Inside, Looking Out') by being much sparser, eschewing large dense textures and instead focusing on a single melodic 'voice' that gets bashed about by its surroundings, before finally washing up somewhere peaceful and alone." — Daniel Thorne
 
Praise for Lines Of Sight, out March 15th on Erased Tapes:
 
“Dizzying compositions that thrive on chaos and control.” Self-titled  

“Analogue and digital, improvisatory and programmed, tactile and gaseous, this ripples between worlds.” DJ Mag
 
Deeply moving, full of otherworldly beauty and rapture, the album is alive, throbbing like a circulatory system, colourful and glowing. It literally dazzles – effectively capturing what the birth (or death) of a planet might sound like.

Every strand is fresh, vital and purposeful. The description ‘seamless’ might suggest a smooth, bland fusion, but here elements overlap in intermittent, undulating layers of mesh. Avant-garde, noise, electronics, ecclesiastical, classical and a touch of jazz come together, each occupying their own space while acquiescing with the whole.
