Sometimes so much modern classical and ambient music drives me to a desire to cut it up a bit. Slice all of those expanding pads with a sharp-edged and surgically-precise glitchy blade, which is an intrinsic part of my sonic DNA. With that said, I can always rely on the trusted raster to serve me a delicious cocktail of spiked-up goodness. In the case of their latest album, scheduled to drop this upcoming Friday, November 25th, the master chef, chief surgeon, and dystopian storyteller is the one and only Franck Vigroux, who, albeit has not appeared on these pages in the past, has been on my radar for many years, particularly from his releases on Leaf, Monotype, Aesthetical, and Matière Mémoire. In 2020 Vigroux appeared on this Chemnitz-based (Germany) artistic platform with his album, Ballades Sur Lac Gelé. This follow-up, titled Magnetoscope, is part of the same series of releases that "interrelate strict and cool analogue sounds, drum machines and noise landscapes in an epic, almost cinematic way." The title and the synth sounds which appear throughout the album (and on a piece which I'm premiering for you today) refer to the "terrifying time" of the 80s. The influences of "Blade Runner" as watched through an old VHS tape, the sounds of a warped cassette tape left out to melt in your steaming brick of a car in the parking lot, the unruly analogue music machines that never followed your directions and seemed to have a mind of their own - all of this is here, on Magnetoscope.

Espacio Perpendicular radio show at 9128.live by Doozer

In 2023, a new private space opened in Madrid with the goal to become a meeting point purely for the enjoyment and discovery of underground music. Since 2022, Espacio Perpendicular has broadcasted some of its many meetings and recordings here on 9128.live. 2024 sees the second season of the programme.

For the first week of 2024 and the return of the Espacio Perpendicular weekly program, we have a colorful mix by one of the heads of the EP project, Doozer, responsible for brokenloop podcast series.

We Take It From Here

self-titled is a music magazine that has nothing to do with music. At least not in the traditional sense of self-important ‘criticism’ and profiles that read like regurgitated press releases. Yes, we print reviews and thought-provoking features, but we also pride ourselves on answering the questions others don’t ask. Find out what some of those questions are by reading our daily site or one of the back issues below.
