Stratosphere, Dirk Serries and Tom Malmendier - Through Chaos, Cohesion Is Found (Edit)

RempisRosalyDikemanGovaert

live - Andy Moor, Colin McLean, John Dikeman, Onno Govaert

It’s always a pleasure to introduce musicians in Mick’s domain of Australia, which includes a relatively new composer on the scene, Matt Goodluck, who has a long history in the music business and is also a member of Australia’s largest Pink Floyd tribute act, Echoes of Pink Floyd as lead vocalist and tours nationwide. Cinematic ambient composer Paul Headon, a.k.a DREAMSCAPIST new album ‘Mind Space’, takes us further into what may be the unknown, meditation/atmospheric/ambient/music for sleep. 

As supporters of the female side of electronic music, not one but five grace our airwaves. Natasha Barrett’s artistic research project provokes a new awareness of our outdoor sound environment. Kirsten Agresta Copley is an international award-winning harpist. Hania Rani builds on earlier successes unfolding at an exquisite pace. Stefana Fratila ongoing creative research culminated in Sononaut, eight open-source VST plug-ins created for digital audio workstations, and welcome to the world of INSANIA (a.k.a Ryo Pike).

Electric Orange is the opening band delivering trippy kraut rock.

Obscured By Beams Of Sorrow is the first collaborative recording between Hakobune and Dirk Serries. 
minimalistic electric guitar drone sound melody is pulling the listener into imaginary drone world.
this record has atmosphere of a deep bamboo forest with no sense of reality, such as wander.
and listener will see hallucinogenic visuals Somewhere to see scenery Such as the events in the dream and will feel sustained bass drone sound such as the Freudian obsession.
 

Vidna Obmanaとして80年代より活動するDirk SerriesとHakobuneによる初のコラボレーションアルバム。
Dirk Serries長い活動歴の中でLow, Mono, My Bloody Valentineといったアーティストのサポートアクトなどもつとめ、
現在はフリージャズと即興のためのレーベルを運営している。ギター・ドローンを基軸としたアンビエントなスタイルで2015年には
MachinefabriekことRutger Zuyderveltとのコラボレーションアルバムも発表している。
Hakobuneもまた、2007年より、多数の作品を発表し、2015年にはテクノ系のアーティストによるリミックスアルバム『Vitex Negundo Re Worked & De Constructed』をリリースした。
この作品ではお互いのギタードローンが大海を漂う波風のように、現れそして消えていく。現実感のない深い竹林を彷徨うような、
どこか見た風景のような、夢の中の出来事でもあるような、またフロイト的な強迫観念のような持続音とObscured By Beams Of Sorrow(悲しみの光により覆い隠される)が示すような、深い悲しみを伴いつつも、希望の光が包み込むようなアンビエンスが夢幻の世界へと誘う。

KTHXBYE - 3:18

American avant-electronic musician and essayist Bret Schneider holds no institutional allegiance to one artistic medium. His background encompasses a wide range of work experiences and reveals a man who is connected to the world around him in complex, alienated ways. His thoughts on music and philosophy are intertwined into a billowing exposition. But when exploring the dark recesses of his more aural works, there is an inherent flexibility. Phasing percussive elements and frayed droning lines all lead to a perpetually shifting feeling for an aural uncanny. As fractured as his music can be, there is a dim spark of rumination that threads through his synthetic machinations.

On his latest release, “Xilinx,” Schneider taps into a primordial electronic noise—the kind that rests just on your periphery, unwinding itself to reveal myriad sordid circuits and disjointed projections. These tracks maintain a wired mania, expressing an unsettling undercurrent of ragged repetition and warbling drones. There’s an unexpected elasticity to Schneider’s cabled rhythms, and they often shift across several temporal lines before turning inward, struggling to illuminate an intimate dissonance or imagine a multi-chambered core. Displaying a raw and unusually concise knowledge of how these sounds might fit together, “Xilinx” is part zoetrope, part post-industrial dreamscape. It is an inquiry into the idea of internal movement, a contorted experiment in musical patterning, and an experiment in self-replication.

© & ℗ 2018 The Void of Expansion | Substrata

“Ashes and Blues” is the first studio album by The Void of Expansion: The Swedish drummer Tomas Järmyr (Zu, Motorpsycho, Yodok, Yodok III) and the legendary Belgian guitarist Dirk Serries (VidnaObmana, Fear Falls Burning).

With an introspective, enigmatic, yet equally feral and untamed sound, the work of The Void of Expansion moves within the limits of genres such as shoegaze, drone, free jazz and modern sound experimentation.

The musical exercise of The Void of Expansion in “Ashes and Blues” is like that of a craftsman working his art in precise detail, while at once creating the impression of free motion through sinuous paths.

Movement gives way to the overflowing energy of free improvisation, in an exercise of concentration and expansion, levels of tension and liberation of energy, breaking through layers of sound, textures of various kinds, amplitudes and unorthodox harmonic, melodic and rhythmic structures and patterns with an almost psychic effectiveness, automatically remitting to a cosmic vastness, desolate places, nocturnal glares and a special ritual aroma.

Dirk Serries_THE DEVASTATION CHANT Album Teaser

Knife presenta Terror Cognitive Dissonance, la identidad bajo la que se oculta Jesús Martos desarrollando como concepto artístico-experimental aquel miedo intrínseco del ser humano a lo desconocido. Su trabajo de indagación y producción en cuanto a sonidos que van desde el ritualismo pagano del dark ambient de culto hasta los ritmos sucios y extremos de un noise de características propias le han ido llevando a ir descubriendo y difuminando las fronteras entre los géneros más oscuros de la electrónica. El acto en vivo de Terror Cognitive Dissonance ha sido descrito como perturbador y confrontativo, cruzando la frontera entre el artista y la audiencia a través de la performance improvisada y el uso de hardware acompañado de voces desgarradoras. Perteneciente al colectivo Oddsratio; plataforma dedicada a la búsqueda de nuevos sonidos desde un prisma experimental y a través de todas las técnicas de creación alternativas y/o analógicas, Terror Cognitive Disonance realza su figura como productor llegando a lanzar tres álbumes de estudio desde 2017 hasta la fecha.

En esta grabación, Terror Cognitive Dissonance combina la técnica del djing con la del live act, logrando un conjunto híbrido de mezcla e improvisación. Esto surge cuando 2 o 3 pistas están siendo mezcladas, y por otro lado de manera simultánea, se están aplicando estructuras sonoras, ritmos o incluso voces mediante sintes, pedales y cajas de ritmo. Así mismo, esta grabación está confeccionada con varias piezas de culto de la música industrial europea, y en particular, varios cassettes del noise italiano de los 80 y 90 combinados con lanzamientos más actuales del mismo estilo experimental, así como algunos tracks inéditos del autor, transcurriendo por géneros como el power electronics, el death industrial o el drone metal.

Knife presents Terror Cognitive Dissonance, the identity under which Jesús Martos hides, developing as an artistic-experimental concept that intrinsic fear of the human being of the unknown. His work of investigation and production in terms of sounds that range from the pagan ritualism of cult dark ambient to the dirty and extreme rhythms of a noise with its own characteristics have led him to discover and blur the borders between the darkest genres of The electronic. Terror Cognitive Dissonance's live act has been described as disturbing and confrontational, crossing the border between artist and audience through improvised performance and the use of hardware accompanied by heartbreaking vocals. Belonging to the Oddsratio collective; a platform dedicated to the search for new sounds from an experimental prism and through all alternative and/or analog creation techniques, Terror Cognitive Disonance enhances its figure as a producer, releasing three studio albums from 2017 to now.

In this recording, Terror Cognitive Dissonance combines the technique of djing with that of live act, achieving a hybrid ensemble of mixing and improvisation. This arises when 2 or 3 tracks are being mixed, and on the other hand simultaneously, sound structures, rhythms or even voices are being applied through synths, pedals and drum machines. Likewise, this recording is made with several cult pieces of European industrial music, and in particular, several cassettes of Italian noise from the 80s and 90s combined with more current releases of the same experimental style, as well as some unreleased tracks by the author, passing through genres such as power electronics, death industrial or drone metal.

Knife Podcast 136 | Terror Cognitive Dissonance

Over a timespan of more than 26 years vidnaObmana, Fear Falls Burning and Microphonics have become Dirk Serries' personal triptych in analysing, dissecting, creating and processing sound. From the early industrial, the minimal synth ambient, the genre-splicing tribal fusion, the overpowering guitardrones to the pure, straightforward and minimal guitarambience. The perfect closure on his alter-ego's vidnaObmana and Fear Falls Burning completes the trilogy. A tryptich that has come full circle with re-enactment of his passion for the pure, minimal and beautiful.
