There are at least four levels of experience at which art seems to express a certain kind of truth: Those of 1) our emotions, 2) cultural values, 3) sensory experience, and 4) the elusive significance of our experience.
-The most commonly recognized cognitive virtue of art is that it can communicate about emotion.
-Given the stylistic differences among art of various cultures, it is inevitable that works of art will be more meaningful and readily appreciated within their cultural milieu then outside of it. Accordingly, works of art reflect something collectively cultural as well as individually human.
-The two previous levels of aesthetic cognition displayed art's power to disclose truth about humanity itself, humanity both as affective individuals and as collective historical culture. However, art reveals something not only about subjectivity of experience but about the experienced world itself.
Something that is not accessible to conceptual understanding.

Minutiae

The album Moscow - Berlin comes out on the eve of the 60th anniversary of my great friend and brilliant musician Gebhard Ullmann. The program was recorded in December 2014 during the Berlin festival, timed to the 35th anniversary of Leo Records. Three months before this event, we first showed our duet in a project in Russia as part of an impov-marathon dedicated to the British label. Gebhard's participation in the art forum of that year was made possible thanks to the support of the Goethe Institute. If the Russian part of the festival was held during the golden autumn with its marvelous burgundy-red-yellow landscapes, inspiring reflections on the incomprehensible power and beauty of nature, the Berlin concerts were permeated with the spirit of romance and magic as it was held in those fairy days between Christmas and New Year, when the heart is filled with special harmony. Even nature itself reverted to a reverent feeling of unity with the world, covering streets of Berlin, its houses and trees with beautiful snow. 

This feeling of joy and serenity was reflected in our performance, making us precariously approach the embodiment of musical material. We performed both scored compositions and pieces based on free improvisation. Both directions in this album complement each other - in the scored compositions there is a place for spontaneous events, and the tracks that are built on abstract images gravitate towards melodies. This approach embodies one of the ideas of the release, which consists in the absence of boundaries between real and imaginary, clear and conditional, which comes to the surface through the dialogue of like-minded people representing two extraordinary improvisational schools. The project which originated in Russia and was recorded in Germany unites two bright and progressive cities with an invisible thread: the album is a dialogue of companions, in which the guises and colors of both capitals are represented by the new-jazz sounds during the joyous and bright Christmas days!

Atmospheres Touch

Lucrecia Dalt - Atmospheres Touch

Zach Rowden in an American musician dealing with the acoustic and performative possibilities of the contrabass. His fierce improvisational approach strips away the raw textural make up of this iconic acoustic instrument, rendering a complex timbral transformation of its sound and a complete obliteration of the listeners own understanding of the sonic potential of the contrabass. Zach’s promising release for XKatedral, “Tasked”, is a brutal harnessing of pyschoacoustic rhythms and microtonality through the minimal instrumentation of contrabass and feedback. 

XK14

Zach Rowden - Fog area

Let my touch be indistinct and instinctive
Let my glance be passer.... by
Let my system swallow its own.... system
Let my breath move outward in 
concentric nothings 
Let it carry the news
Let my motion be expansive
Let my limits be as atmospheres and bracken 
Let my decadence be candid
Let my wanting be scentless
We had touched as only 
atmospheres touch.

Natural Lateral - Yellow (STW Premiere)

London residing, Franco-Canadian Chloé Raunet aka C.A.R. has been immersed in the world of post-punk, cold wave and her own brand of off-kilter synth-pop since the days fronting her band Battant. Playful, machine-driven and dark, C.A.R.’s music travels between glacial electronica, post-punk and warming, introspective pop, all emanating from a self-confessed crush on too many genres.

This is the first new material to emerge from Raunet under her C.A.R. moniker since last year’s triumphant and critically acclaimed PINNED album - her first outing on Ransom Note Records. Growing with confidence and maturity with every release, her output continues to expand in both ambition and depth, exploring the outer reaches of left of centre pop.
Taking on the mantle of producer, singer, and songwriter once again, Pressure Drop sees her delve deeper into the shimmering, layered world of synth-laden, shoegaze electronics she’s been hinting at on previous outings

In the loneliness…

“Pressure…. Drops.”
We’ve kept the remix action short but sweet this time around - i.e. not 14 remixes of one record.
Uber remixer extraordinaire Suzanne Kraft re-treats Raunet’s vocals, twisting the track into a brooding, bubbling, late-night, dance floor thing of beauty.

“Stop my heart it runs ahead, like a dog it barks, roll over, play dead.”

Second original track on the EP ‘Suture’ sees her explore the further depths of Raunet’s soul, refining her palette with glimmering, claustrophobic electronics.

This new material - packed with intricate left turns and tiny details flickering away at the edge of hearing - has been mixed by Daniel Avery collaborator Ghost Culture and mastered by Keith ‘Radioactive Man’ Tenniswood

She buried her beauty, and then exposed what's under the cloak soon, her body turned into rot and bones. Her fingers pointed towards another path, A rugged road of stones and pearls. I took a blade and press it against my skin. Concealing my life shut, after she revealed all my forbidden sins. Her lip, her eyes, her pearly grin, my last vision as my blood drew thin. A sweet kiss of death, falling into the eyes of Pandora's Spell.
