I may not trust the intarwebs, but I will surely trust my label. When it comes to discovering new music (to pop me out of my echo chamber and insistent feedback loop), it’s easy to get lost among the new releases. There’s just too much of everything, and it’s only getting harder to discern. Anyone can share their latest content. And anyone can upload with a click. There’s a reason for that. The companies that host it all have made it easy for a reason: to monetize your music. To turn your content into cash. On the flip side, the labels take their time. They are, in turn, investing in the artist. So when you buy into the label, you buy into their world. Past Inside The Present has been curating my journey since 2018, and I have learned to trust Zach’s choice in music. So when he backs North Carolina-based vocalist Angela Winter for her slightly avant-garde solo debut release for the label, I’m all ears. I write “solo” because in 2024, we’ve already heard her voice on a collaboration with the label boss himself, titled Mid Sky. Together, the duo navigated “a realm between the terrestrial and cosmic with organic drones and ethereal vocals“. In August, Angela returns with a full-length titled Forbidden Questions In Space, centered around ambient and drone improvisations, and of course, her voice, for a koan-inspired drift into the endless cosmos. If you’ve been following Headphone Commute, you know that I tend to focus on mostly instrumental music, often with a darker tint of sonic experimentation. Today, I select one of those pieces from her upcoming album to give you a taste.

A compilation of brand new and exclusive music to celebrate a decade of Bricolage. 27 tracks in total. Over 2 and a half hours of sound. A journey that captures a multitude of styles from all across the electronic spectrum.

It's a 'who's who' of the label past, present and future. We've got Bricolage stalwarts like Dark Fidelity Hi Fi, Belial Pelegrim, Minimal Drone GRL, Fragile X and No Arrival. Some returning old favourites in the form of The Jaffa Kid, Foundered, Minerva and Arran Trax. A bunch of some of our newer regulars in Wilks, Sulci, The New Human and Beira alongside some completely fresh faces on Bricolage with appearances from Veelargo, Kuma and Oceanographer. There's a whole host of other artists that help characterise exactly what Bricolage endeavours towards musically.

The New Human - Go The Distance (from the "X" compilation)

https://bricolageglasgow.bandcamp.com/album/colour-kinetica-bc095

The Dormon brothers have been honing their craft since the 90's. Releasing a raft of albums and EPs on some great labels like Piehead, Lom, Senton, Progerik and the seminal Toytronic, over the years. "Toytronic" in particular, was one of the labels that inspired what we do here at Bricolage. It had a huge impact on me as a teenager and the Multiplex "Pinghaus Frequencies" album from the label was constantly on rotation in my bedroom. It's pretty surreal that now, more than twenty years after hearing that album, we can welcome them onto the label. The world works in magical ways.

"Multiplex recordings are far from the standard studio format, as we build up the tracks on two sets of music equipment, in two countries, with two biased opinions of what the final result should be. But instead of fighting for control of the studio and the mix, we surrender control of our ideas to each other, which has worked well so far."

The result makes for raw, analogue chaos. When they go hard they go all in but there's also the other side that seeps through with their more textured electronica that breezes along so smoothly.

The "Colour Kinetica" album has all the Multiplex hallmarks. Abrasive yet vibrant melodies, cyber basslines and elastic rhythms. They take the genre's bleeps and bass elements and put them through their own audio grinder to create a unique brand of head spinning electro.

"Colour Kinetica" is their first new album in quite some time and it's safe to say it's been worth the wait as we get to enter into an innovative sonic realm.

About the release:
Crisp, clear water flows on either side of me as I drift outward from the beach, my vessel gulping in the fresh air of dawn. The subtle treasure of moss balls are visible below the surface. I disappear into a wall of fog and reach my destination on the other side of the lake. Leaving my boat, I enter a cave, lead by the orange glow of the rising sun I find my village and am greeted by a chorus of birds. I am home. The house is empty, uneasy to accept me at first. I set down my books softly and look around. Everything is in perfect order, peaceful. A toy seems to stare at me from my shelf, a large ship. I pick it up, feeling its weight. Perhaps ten years have passed since I considered this object. It's a strange feeling, an unfathomable loneliness. My thoughts are that some made this, maybe a man in a shop. My mind lingers on this idea of a very lonely old man carving ships and painting them, dying alone with broken hands. There is something comforting about this, it makes me smile. I get back to my boat and begin sailing with seemingly as much ease as putting the toy back on its shelf. This time I have no destination. I drift for so long, I lose all sense of my surroundings. Have I slept? The sky is filled with color. When I consider where I am, there is no direction to take that will bring me home any quicker than another. I am lost. I still haven't let go of the image of that ship. I let the wind guide me for a long while before bumping into the sand, then my legs manage their way back home. I wait for something to stop me but my hands just move by themselves as I take the ship and several other toys, books, a box with old photographs, and carry them outside where I dump them on the ground. After a moment of realization of what has happened, I set fire to the pile. I sit on the grass and watch it burn, holding my hands over my mouth in quiet astonishment. Something is felt that I can't comprehend fully, a resolution. An ending to a cycle. I carry water and pour it over the embers. And once again I wave goodbye to my village and take its peace with me as I travel back through the cave, this time to another area where the sound of water leads me to a place I've never been…..by Joe LiTrenta (Bengalfuel)

Hidekazu Imashige aka Gallery Six is an artist and composer who lives in Hiroshima, Japan.
For his new album "Gasansui", he has crafted a delicate collection of ambient moodscapes which are ideal for relaxation and introspection. Each track is a gorgeous picture come to life where the sound of birds chirping, water dripping or leaves rustling are underpinned by a bed of majestic keys and soothing pads. Green grass or blue water is often subdued or altogether washed out, allowing the music's form to disappear in mist, as though it is being played from somewhere deep within a painting that threatens to swallow those who look upon it.
Amazing floating ambient music on Shimmering Moods Records. Highly limited CD, 100 copies worldwide, with beautiful artwork in a special package.

Thank you Joe LiTrenta from Bengalfuel for the nice words about this album.

- High quality audio CDr
- Edition of 100 copies
