Compound Disturbance



'Recursive Behaviors', in more than one sense, investigates a mutual space where humans and machines mingle and exchange sonic materials with one another. Machines infused with chaotic processes, allowed to follow their own strange and unstable logic. As one encounters these shape-shifting entities, riddled with unpredictabilities, one soon realizes that they can merely be influenced and explored, but never fully controlled.


The machines develop their own internal sonic language. A lexicon and syntax of sound, at times playing fragile melodies, other times developing textural structures, locked into semi-repetitive rhythms. Timbres emerging from the intertwined recursions that form the backbone of their internal wiring. Machines, able to analyze their own actions and adapt behavioral patterns. Machines that hum, sing, mumble and scream.


'Recursive Behaviors' started out with extended recordings of these machines, letting them act out in uninterrupted passages of sonic expression. These recordings formed the backbone of each of the pieces, as an opening statement waiting for a response. My initial counter took the shape of cello improvisations, complementing the electronic textures with slow-moving, sorrowful drones. This resulted in a back and forth between the calls of the cybernetic machines and a range of acoustic responses. Pieces, written as much by the instruments themselves as through any human engagement with them.

IDMf:Industrial presents Divergence

di·ver·gence n. - 1. Departure from a norm, deviation.
2. Mathematics: Failure to approach a limit.

It begins like waking from a dream into a nightmare, and carries the listener through a fractured path designed and constructed through the creativity of artists with the desire to surpass themselves. Created by members of the electronic music production community - IDMforums, in honor of the Industrial, EBM & Power Electronics section, not just as another industrial compilation, but as a tribute to a style of music that has inspired us to explore and reimagine sound through our own vision. Contained within the tracks in this compilation are echoes from not only the past and present of industrial music, but perhaps the future as well.

Divergence features 14 tracks from a diverse selection of artists from the IDMforums community, including new and exclusive tracks from Keef Baker, Endif, Tapage, Unterm Rad, and more. Both downloadable packages contain excellent full album artwork by Sean Forsythe, and short bios of all included artists in a single PDF document for your convenience.

Support the art you adore.

Originally released on Subvariant's compilation album Robohustlin:
http://subvariant.com/music/150-subv007-va-robohustlin

subVariant latest free compilation, Robohustlin, is a curated collection of melodic IDM, ambient and glitch tracks from Chicago and beyond. Chaircrusher's "Crow Beat" and Milipede's "30,000" take a somewhat dark, harder approach, while tracks like Diarmo's "Details" and Matt Wolfe's "4:09am" hover somewhere between hopefulness and melancholy, held together with intricate rhythmic programming. All thirteen tracks were chosen from an open call for songs in July-August of 2010, and represent the highest quality and most discernable sonic dedication that fit with the general theme that organically emerged over the course of weeding through all the submissions.

In keeping with subVariant's tongue-in-cheek, music-as-consumer-product design aesthetic (see Subvaritrax, Exception AM), Robohustlin's digital cover lists the individual artists as separate "cures" in a packaging style based on the popular cough & cold medication, Robitussin.

1. Chaircrusher: "Crowbeat"
2. Millipede: "30,000"
3. Digital Gnosis: "Ruins"
4. Redun: "Splt"
5. Tapage & Stan Verberkt: "Modular"
6. CitizenGreen: "Ob"
7. Matt Wolfe: "4:09am"
8. Michael Una: "Aleph"
9. Elijah B Torn: "oooEight"
10. JahWarrior: "The Mad Piano"
11. Codebase: "Duel"
12. Diarmo: "Details"
13. Glen Stefani: "Over it Already v2"

Kavhi Collective - Secret Games (VA)

http://www.kahvi.org/releases.php?release_number=296

After quite a long drawn out process (the cover artwork was only ready the other day) finally the long awaited VA release 'Secret Games' is here.

We've got some well known and familiar names (Bad Loop, Xurba, Lackluster, Brioskj and Planet Boelex) as well as some new artists, all going towards creating this mammoth 1.5 hour festival of music!

Notes about the tracks: Bad Loops track is actually a realtime recorded jam session involving a drum machine and synth, Lacklusters track dates back to 2003 and is previously unreleased, and also included in the VA are two tracks from myself - the first track and last track. Beneath a Steel Sky is taken from the commercial release 'Robot Dreams' which is available on iTunes.

The tracks otherwise speak for themselves, so I'll leave you to check them out for yourself. Enjoy this epic release! Cover artwork by noneother than Eero Johannes (otherwise known as Kairaus), the multiply talented meister of music and graphics. Watch out for widescreen versions coming to the wallpaper section shortly.

Playlist: 4T Thieves / Moonsong,
Island near the clouds / Invisible,

When Light's Drillin The Haze 
First Digital IDM/Ambient/Indus compilation by Chroniques Electroniques 
Released: April 2011 

Manolito and myself have been sharing for some times a penchant for electronic music generally qualified as intelligent. In addition to putting our words here on albums from fascinating artists, we've been feeling more and more the need for more artistic and literary commitment. With the help of a faithful reader, Mourad Kachroud, we have recently decided to throw ourselves into the exciting project of creating a label. Without any conceit vis-à-vis labels like Tympanik, Hymen, Ad Noiseam, Ultimae or Boltfish, to whom we devote an admiration without any limit. Even if Synaptic Rachitis is already born in our minds, its real administrative and artistic life is just emerging. We take the opportunity given by our blog to publish our first compilation. It includes tracks created by the artists who put us in a flutter at each release. Because music doesn't belong only the elite that creates it, this compilation is free. We want to thank the artists who accepted the game, gathered under the non professional and frenchy name of Chroniques Electroniques. We hope you will be numerous following us through this new adventure called Synaptic Rachitis. The publication of When Light's Drillin The Haze on Chroniques Electroniques is very special for us. Hoping that this first cast feeds you with emotions and bliss.

Tapage & Rick de Greef – Outercloser Part Two [SLNT028]

The four tracks on Outercloser Part Two tell a moving story of a loss of direction, desperation and a search for meaning in a confusing world. Floating in a vacuum of drifting soundscapes and passing melodic phrases there is always a frighting undertone beneath the surface. Be prepared to drift along developingharmonies that balance between the echoes of our hopeful memories of the past and the terrifying prospects of an abandoned future.

1. The Fog in The Forest Made Us Forget [05:52]
2. Interlude [01:20]
3. We Followed The Path That Haunted Us [04:01]
4. The Valley Returned Our Echoes [04:29] 

Both R. de Greef and T.Ham have been exploring the vast possibilities of sound manipulation for years. Eventually they got in touch through a similar broad view in music and decided to collaborate on what turned out to be an moody and atmospheric set of ambient tracks. Two tracks already appeared on the Fools Forest label a few years back. Since then both Rick and Tijs worked on various other projects but now they return for a four track sequel to Outercloser Part I.

Tapage & Rick de Greef - We Followed The Path That Haunted Us

Tapage returns home to Tympanik Audio for the release of his latest work titled ‘Five & Six‘. With ‘Five & Six‘, Tapage continues on his series of integer inspired albums. 

The length, speed and rhythmical content of each track is derived from the title. This creates a sonic coherence throughout the album while still leaving enough room for brooding musical developments.

Where ‘Seven‘ & ‘Eight‘ were both exploring the slower rhythms of downtempo and triphop, this new album takes its inspiration from different places. Complex rhythmic structures and arpeggiating melodic acid lines are the threads that bind the tracks together. ‘Five & Six‘ provides the groove for brains to dance to.

Tracklisting: 

01. One of Five 
02. One of Six 
03. Three of Five 
04. Four of Six 
05. Two of Five

Remix I did for a Polyfuse track... for some reason it never got out, so here it is...

Polyfuse - We Will Make Sure You Dissapear (Tapage Remix)

Taking inspiration from a range of dusty, crackling but soothing analog synths, 'One, Two, Three & Four' adds another chapter to the long running number series. The music focuses on the unpolished timbres, reworked in a series of warm, downtempo tracks. Ranging from the ambient pieces that make up the 'One' & 'Two' tracks towards the pulsating rhythms that define 'Three' & 'Four', the songs point to the ever shifting sonic landscapes that Tapage chooses to inhabit.

https://tapage.bandcamp.com/album/one-two-three-four

One, Two, Three & Four - Two Of Four

STATES started out as a live electronics setup, developed back in early 2016 by Tijs Ham. The first version combined analogue feedback with digital manipulations which resulted in a self-balancing and self-generating chaotic system, capable of producing deep, melodic and textured soundscapes. During a performance, the setup would be played until it would reach a state in which it was generating its own sonic material. The performer would then take a step back, allowing the system to run on its own. Carefully listening to the movements, progressions, noises, drones, and arpeggios until the urge to intervene took the upper hand and the system would be performed and nudged towards a new state of balance.

The STATES setup went through a series of revisions and alternative versions, each playing with the same basic ingredients, mixed up and prepared in various ways. In the summer of 2017, Tijs started to collaborate with Gareth Davis, well renowned for his work with contemporary and experimental music on the bass clarinet. During an inspired series of recording sessions at STEIM, the STATES setup was reinvented once again and lifted up through the spacious and engaging interplay between reed and recursion.
