Marco Simioni - "The Trip Is In Your Head"

This podcast aims to accompany listeners through dark and light places/spaces that belong to each one of them, as this journey will happen inside their heads -- just like reality does. 
So, paint your personal journey with your mind-brush, and travel with me through this collection of works made by some prominent people (artists, tracks and labels) who contributed to inspire my musical vision, Phaneron EP and its foundations.

London-based Injazero imprint seems to be backing some top-quality music from their ever-growing roster of global talent these days [cough!], with the Ukrainian composer Oleg Shpudeiko returning with this third solo album to the label as Heinali. After a handful of self-released records, a few on a boutique Paradigms, just as many on Fluttery Records, and a couple of collaborations, Shpudeiko finds himself back in the studio, studying medieval polyphony expressed through the programmed synthesis of his modular gear. Historical acoustic instruments, such as the theorbo lute and the alto viola, also appear on this echo of renaissance music. But the baroque focus on mathematical progression through harmony and counterpoint is best heard on this complex, lengthy, final track of the album, titled “Vita Nova.” The composition features generative synthesis, which is, albeit driven by some chance and random voltage, is still very much controlled, with the parameters being set by its programmer to grow, evolve, and to surprise the listener as much as the composer. In this pre-defined system of the four Madrigals [a madrigal is a secular music composition using human voices for its polyphony], Shpudeiko pushes the ever-changing parameters of the synth voices to shift in timbre, tempo, and depth of frequency range.

TRACK PREMIERE : Heinali - Vita Nova

Tuning scapes is the debut EP from effe effe, the solo project of composer, sound designer and violist @federicafurlani.

Tuning scapes is a culmination of effe effe's research on music, sound design and soundscape, formulating an electroacoustic hypothesis that offers a way to listen to the world through a new lens.

It's a harmonization of noises with digital sounds, field recordings with the most minimalistic electronic timbres, strings patterns with few but solid rhythmic structures, transient movements and spaces of contemplation. You may feel a tension between chaos and order, abstract and tangible, digital and analog, the inner and outer worlds, and the orchestral blend of this variable duality.

The EP begins with "INTRO", an invitation, as well as a declaration. A viola arpeggio, as simple as it could be. Then a deep sound transformation, following the EP title. Soon the sonic landscape becomes surreal.

You’re welcomed by a voice in "Self sprung", a new environment poised between excitement and peace.

"Eight pointed star" is an ode to femininity, to pure sound and vibration with no compromises.

In "VODOUN", an underground dance temporarily comes to life, a tingling of exiled and improbable sounds belonging to different races and species, coexisting in a collective celebration, a symptom of an unlikely yet possible symbiosis.

While listening to Tuning scapes , you’ll travel through waves of softness that smoothly become harder, more concrete, until they finally turn into rhythmic gestures, like tentacles exploring unknown landscapes. Eventually, you'll be back to silence, but with a new look at your surroundings.
