PM RADIO - NTS ENDGAME & ENTRAÑAS (8.11.23)

'Movement Gallery’ by Colorado-based artist Werner Levant showcases a meticulous balance between traditional string instrumentation and more modern elements. In contrast to the noise-heavy releases of the previous year, this ambient offering provides an introspective sonic experience, inviting listeners to explore the depths of their own emotions through the resonance of strings.

At its core, 'Movement Gallery' is a musical experiment that seeks to redefine the listener's perception of conventional instrumentation, specifically focusing on the expressive power of string instruments, the human voice and properties of 'experimentalism'. Its thematic exploration revolves around the transient nature of human emotions and experiences. Each track serves as a sonic vignette, capturing moments of beauty and mystery. The project is a testament to the artist's ability to traverse diverse musical landscapes, demonstrating a mastery of both the experimental and the emotive.

Werner Levant - 'Movement Gallery' EP releases on 27th of March 2024.

Kagami Smile returns to World Canvas with a new album 'Regarding the Pit in the Forest'. A spiritual successor to the artist's previous outing on the label 'Floating Underneath', 'Regarding the Pit in the Forest' shares similar aesthetics regarding composition drifting between delicate and developing ambient textures and harsher elements consisting of beat driven structures and distorted tonalities.

Over the course of 'Regarding the Pit in the Forest' Kagami Smile introduces sonic pieces with underlying aesthetics noticeable within the artist's wide catalogue of releases while displaying new ideas blending glimmering frequencies with murkier undertones, tying together in the ambiguous song titles and album's structure as a whole.

I Got U (Lil Durk)

Originally composed for livestreaming events during the ongoing lockdown of 2020, Felisha Ledesma presents two extended pieces as a debut album, “Sweet Hour”. Ledesma’s first full length release arrives after much experience in creating collaborative works with artists such as Isabella and Angelo Harmsworth, site-specific installations, and high-profile festival performances.

Both pieces were realized using a new software synthesizer, called “AMQR”, which Ledesma built for personal use in collaboration with Ess Mattisson. Contrary to many digitally-based compositions, a distinctly warm and organic palette pervades these recordings. An almost playful leisurely pace is employed, engaging the listener to listen deeper; the pieces gracefully evolve with special attention to subtle shifts in stereo field and sonic coloration.

The time-of-day titles illustrate the two distinct moods conveyed: "7:00 AM" integrates field recordings and a hardware modular synthesizer, taking the listener through a psycho-acoustic journey exploring various nooks and crannies of subdued auditory rivulets: perhaps a hidden woodland brook, a sunny glen, a crunchy gravel walkway. "2:00 AM" harkens to the memories of nightclubs, opening with a synthesized arpeggio which could lead into a dancefloor-ready stomper. But instead, Ledesma steps back, allowing the arpeggio to develop into an encompassing ASMR-like timbral massage. The two compositions are united in a slightly melancholic grasping for connection; are they unfolding or are they unraveling? Ledesma does not answer the question outright, but instead finds joy in superposition and sublimation - while creating a space for the listener to inhabit, to live in, and to re-connect.
