About
Reveries is the first collaborative effort of Noveller & TQA, two critically acclaimed lonesome composers welcoming us is an expanded guitar-based journey. Noveller is the solo project of Brooklyn-based composer Sarah Lipstate while Thisquietarly is Eric Quach, unstoppable globetrotting musician from Montreal. Both use the guitar as their main instrument, creating some of the most impressive, hypnotic and rich-textured electric guitar works from the past years.

Empty architecture, luminosity, rocks and deserted zones. Somewhere between Antonioni's Zabriskie Point and Tarkovski's Stalker, there is a walk, a wait and an epiphany. 
It happened. You were not there. You just read it. Or maybe it's the synopsis of it. It's written on the back cover of a corned paperback that girl with the golden cap lost in the train you were just in. She was on hurry. You'll never know its end, you just have to stick to the rocks and to the music. 
Tomorrow is another day and tonight might be the night.

Recorded in January 2013 at Electric Blue Studios in Brooklyn, this new long player finds Sarah & Eric at their most luminous and aerial state, writing together layers of blissful drones resulting of a highly meditative and emotional four-parts piece.

Recorded and mastered by Brian Wenckebach.
Pressed on white vinyl in an edition of 500 copies worldwide.

Side B - Reverie IV

from forthcoming: Francisco Meirino "A Perpetual Host" CD

A Perpetual Host is Francisco Meirino’s fourth full-length, solo studio album on Misanthropic Agenda.
A deep dive into personal loss and the banalities of life and art, A Perpetual Host captures the raw, solitary, and often acerbic extremes that drive creation. Across four pieces, Meirino explores sonic tension and boredom, questioning the simplicity and complexity of the mundane with bursts of clarity that redefine existence itself.

Francisco Meirino is a Spanish sound artist based in Switzerland.

His music explores the tension between programmable material and the potential for its failure. His interest lies primarily in what is not supposed to be recorded : the end of life of electronic devices, electrostatic noise, magnetic fields and the unconventional use of music hardware and sound systems and how to exploit these sonic failures in radically different ways in his sound pieces.

His music combines intricate textures, sonic precision, wide spatial panning and is fascinating by its physical intensity and detail precision.

He mostly uses the modular synthesizer (Eurorack-Serge), various microphones, the computer, the field recorder, tape recorders and tape echoes, EMF detectors and various home-made electro-acoustic devices.

A Perpetual Host

Francisco Meirino "Something Always Remains"

Kim Myhr & Lasse Marhaug - 31.5.17 [excerpt]

NPVR is the avant garde duo made up of the late Peter Rehberg and Nik Void. Editions Mego is proud to present their second and final release. No this is not some kind of Beatles synthetic AI that raises the dead reconstructed recordings but rather a new album made by the humans and their machines. 

The initial meeting of Rehberg and Void was in London in 2016 and despite or due to their mutual awkwardness found solace and compatibility in the fact that they both had a similar electronic modular set up, along with matching cases to transport all. The idea to collaborate was an obvious and organic process as a means to connect their individual gear together and observe the outcome. The fruits of these initial experiments, recorded in London, resulted in the playful experimentation of their acclaimed 2017 release 33 33 (eMego 251).

Now in 2024 Editions Mego presents the logically titled follow up, 33 34. These sessions were recorded six months after the initial recordings at Peter’s home in Vienna. This was planned out as a mirror city release to the original London recordings. With Peter having access to his full studio set up this time around we encounter a rich audio landscape which organically folds together a variety of musical genres blurring any distinction between these forms so the resulting music hovers as a new cloud of sound. Any musical form, be it industrial, electro-acoustic, ambient, drone and techno all coexist and melt into the other as the ensuing result unveils a hypnotic swarm of divergent sounds (music). When active there were no lines or contexts with NPVR, either between sound or genre within these recordings or live where NPVR were at home playing at a techno club one night and an avant garde venue the next.

The initial session of these recordings was edited by Rehberg and sent to Void to further develop.
Over time the final versions were agreed on and then shelved as other outside projects took over. The awkwardness had been surmounted and the two had become close friends. NPVR performed at a range of venues such as Tresor, Sutton House, Corsica, Blitz, Paris GRM #Focus2, LEV Festival and Rigas Skanumezs Festival. Following Rehberg’s untimely passing Void had difficulty listening back to the sessions but eventually thought it fit to complete and release this album, of which even the artwork (like 33 33, an image from Zurich photographer, Georg Gatsas) had been decided upon prior to Rehberg parting ways. 

There is an unmistakable joy to these recordings. One encounters an enthralling exploration of their chosen machines which conveys the excitement of what can be randomly conjured when people speak through such devices. There is no grand statement or argument here, just the sheer thrill of creation and the recorded results of random encounters. The art of collaboration was always a mainstay of Rehberg’s practice from the advent of the MEGO adventure. Rehberg & Bauer was an initial collaboration with former business partner Ramon Bauer. Even at this stage one can hear a relaxed sense of delight in the sheer discovery of sound.

A mix made for the Wire magazine following the release of 33 33 hints at the freedom that comes with endless urge for exploration and discovery. Abstract tracks from Z'EV. Jérôme Noetinger and Jung An Tagen are included alongside British stalwarts The Fall and New Order. There were no lines between pop / academic / underground or mainstream in Rehberg’s world. All of it sat at the same table. It is just matter in the atmosphere, like the diverse exploration found in these recordings that comprise 33 34.

Continuity #29 w/ Sand Circles (11/02/24)

sometimes
when I open my eyes in the thick fog
it seems like they are still tightly closed
everything is blurry immersed in moisture and cloudy
instead of just witness it
I try to listen
and imagine
that this what I look at
is the sound representation of my inner-world
but in fact
the vision I see
is actually my
dispersed soul

They’re a cofounder of the collective Le Comité des Fêtes, which organises festive events in an autonomous ethos, driving inspiration from sound system culture and anti-authoritarian readings. They’re also involved in the organisation of the festival Les Siestes and the decentralised community Global URL Nation.

indigoblue’s solo practice takes interest in experimental forms of electronic music, with a particular focus on drone and field recording. They engage in diverse mediums such as composition, production, live performance and djing. Additionally, they run ‘spinal spiral’, a recurring show on Toulouse-based web radio Egregore.

" I've been working on a collage including personal recordings and music with which I resonated. Most of the recordings were collected in the context of the preparation of festive events organized by a collective I'm a part of, Le Comité des Fêtes. Our events are organized in an autonomous and horizontal ethos, drawing heavy inspiration from sound system culture and anarchist readings. They usually take place in a community-driven space in Toulouse or temporary outdoor venues, where we try to think and act in resistance to oppressive and capitalist dynamics. Other recordings are extracted from my personal archive."

This last episode of “Chien de Temps” revolves around a tormented and nostalgic plot which sometimes breaks up on experimental motifs with rough and shattered contours which aspire to be close to the celestial light.

Wikileaks IRAQ invites Emre Girginkaya - 18/04/2024

Somewhere between the ears and the eyes is a bridge of imaginary light. Somewhere in a dark room a bright cone of photons connects a slide projector to a wall. Dust motes drift like plankton in the glow. One thought overtakes another as the carousel clicks forward, shuffles; a new piece of celluloid drops into the projection slot, a new image illuminates the wall — visions of a recent past, filtered through what Mark Templeton calls the 'pink hue of mystery...' The ten compositions on Templeton's INNER LIGHT are reel-to-reel tape loop arrangements based on some 70s- and 80s-era meditation cassettes (found in a church library, with an archive of photographic slides which reappear in Templeton's supplementary photobook, A GUIDE TO INNER LIGHT).

Originally made to foster relaxation and well-being in a liturgical setting, the recordings now have a lysergic skew, as if heard underwater during the immersion of a baptism — a sonic lustration... An electric fan blows air onto an incandescent bulb hidden inside the machine. We hum along as the filament burns and we puzzle together a fantasy. We hear the inner light before we see it. The ears tell the eyes where to look, and the eyes look inward.”

- Mike Slack

Mark Templeton is a Canadian media artist and the founder of Graphical, an audiovisual label dedicated to publishing his own musical and image based experiments. Mark’s audio compositions are constructed from reel-to-reel tape loops and sampled cassettes that are contrasted with contemporary sound techniques. In his published photobooks, he incorporates his own 35mm pictures and found images, focusing on intangible fantasies and realities. During his audiovisual performances, he utilizes digital instruments while projecting his own photographs, VHS footage, Super 8 film, and other sampled video.

Since 2007, he has released material on various international record labels and photobook publishers, both as a solo artist and in collaboration with other artists.

Templeton has performed live and exhibited his work at art galleries, festivals and alternative spaces throughout North America, Europe, United Kingdom and China.
