The latest release by Mexican artist Microhm aka Leslie García brings together influences from experimental electronics, drone and ambient to create a cinematic experience that seeks to take listeners on a journey inside themselves. A contemporary composition that shows us his mastery by transmitting both disturbing and profound emotions, always inciting catharsis in each of the moments of this new EP. Recorded live with a setup of analog synthesizers.

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.

Najnowszym wydawnictwem w katalogu wytwórni Ciche Nagrania będzie album poznańskiego kompozytora Miłosza Kędry. Na “For Aeons” artysta inspiruje się średniowieczną stylistyką, dodając do niej futurystycznej wizji poprzez zespolenie organów piszczałkowych z elektroniką. Z tego połączenia powstaje nowa całość umieszczająca w świeżym kontekście muzykę kojarzoną z przestrzenią kościelną. Premiera albumu "For Aeons" 9 listopada > https://cichenagrania.bandcamp.com

Data wydania: 14.10.2019

Po epoce niedoborów PRLu obywatele III RP chłonęli niedostępne wcześniej wytwory zachodniej kultury, ale tworzyli również swoje, nawiązujące do pierwowzorów w mniej lub bardziej udany sposób. Właśnie te „niedoróbki”, pierwsze rodzime podejścia do muzycznych nurtów takich jak hip-hop, house, techno, italo disco czy w ogóle szeroko pojętej muzyki elektronicznej DJ Duch dokumentuje w „Labiryncie Śmierci”.

Znajdziemy tu powolny trance, wczesny trip-hop, proto-rap, hybrydy disco-polo, ambient, el-muzykę czy yass przegrane z trudno dziś już dostępnych kaset i płyt CD. Mix uzupełniony o projekt graficzny Kornela Nurzyńskiego oddaje klimat epoki pełnej fascynacji horrorami klasy B, tanią literaturą grozy i doniesieniami o „rękach, które leczą”. Ponad godzinny zapis muzyczny nawiązuje do „Duchologii” Olgi Drendy, „Krainy Grzybów” Wiktora Striboga, zabiera słuchacza w nostalgiczną podróż do lat 90. ale przede wszystkim rzuca nowe światło na zapomnianą dziś i niedocenioną dotychczas muzykę tamtego okresu.
