Deep delves into inventive sound design and the peripheries between functional and non-functional musics. With texture and timbre in the forefront, SPECTRAL SHOCK is a platform for experimentation, unleashing a concrète collage of subversive sound that hybridizes DJing, mashing up and live processing. Without being restricted to a genre, guests from different backgrounds showcase their unique vision of sound that possesses an explorative and inventive spirit, and which in its own way contributes to the gradual transmutation of music on a larger scale.

Tracklist on

SPECTRAL SHOCK w/ Luke Lund (01/03/23)

Soon: MM Works - Fieldworks

https://slowtonecollages.bandcamp.com

MM Works creates instrumental, cinematic music in a cross-genre exploring jazz, classical and post rock elements. Compositionally the Copenhagen-based duo roams in a delicate balance of structure and freeplay, avant-garde and modern composition.

'Fieldworks' was recorded in April and September 2022. It is a free-flowing experiment centered around guitarloops being reamped and manipulated through analog guitar effects. While there's no particular countable rhythm, the free jazz-like drumming pulsates underneath the loops that are topped by guitar improvisations, loose melodies, and broader flute arrangements. 

Mathias Lystbaek (This Floating World): Guitars, flutes, glockenspiel, loops, electronics & sound processing.
Mads Lassen: Drums.

MM Works - Winter Waltz (Slow Tone Collages)

Title track from the new album out on Azure Vista Records on August 11th! CD and limited edition vinyl shipping now from: azurevistarecords.bandcamp.com

Info:

American ambient masters zakè (a.k.a. Zach Frizzell) and City of Dawn (a.k.a. Damien Duque) return with a mesmerizing follow up to last year's "Agape". The music the two create together reflects the expansive landscapes of their native Texas and Indiana. Slowly unfolding melodies that seem to rise like the sun from a Texas horizon, and drones that resonate like leaves in an endless Indiana woodland. It's a sound that's both beautiful and slightly haunting – a sound that encompasses the listener and demands attention. This is music to get lost in.

Zach and Damien can both be considered veterans of ambient drone by now, and the five composition on Ash present a rarefied ”complex simplicity”. With few means they manage to create sonic and compositional depth, on par with classics of the genre from the likes of William Basinski, Brian Eno and Stars of the Lid.

The CD version of ”Ash” includes the previous album ”Agape”, which hasn't been previously released on CD.

For more than twenty years, Roel Funcken has been a cornerstone in electronic experimentation. Alongside his brother Don, this Dutch sound sculptor melted hip-hop, industrial and soundscapes under monikers like Funckarma and Shadow Huntaz. A prolific solo musician and collaborator as well, Funcken teams up with Cor Bolten to revive the Legiac project with the eight tracks of Banisteriopsis Caapi. Keys appear through a sorrowful haze in "Mimosa Hostilis", this machined mist difussing as distorted strings penetrate before a dawning of icy brightness. Modulated forms and shapes billow in the bubble and trill of "Pyschotria Viridis" before the orbiting interference and introspection of "Epicatechine." Percussion is reduced to a texture, the duo finding structure in droplets of water, the stretch of steel and a litany of field recordings. The partnership dive deep into their chosen sounds, elongating and expanding tones to find harmony in the absence and isol ation that is their focus. Pieces like "Solanaceae" bristle with an understated elegance, like starlight piercing a brooding night sky, while "Banisteriopsis Caapi" finds an eerie solace in its repurposing of voice as an undulating elegy. Legiac achieve a distant intimacy with their listener, a relationship forged through complex compositions, gentle movements and subtle shifts.

Catherine Watine "Time As A Hole"

First Snow of The Year" is the project of Belgium-based artist Erik Sevenans, who adopted this moniker in 2017 following his relocation to Munich, Germany. Whilst grappling with a foreign language and adjusting to his new environment, Erik found himself in the midst of an exceptionally cold winter that year. During this period of adaptation, he embarked on the creation of an album, delving into the exploration of ambient textures, a departure from his usual musical terrain. The album, born out of this experimental phase, coincided with the first snowfall of the year, thus being the reason for the project's distinctive name. Originally conceived as Erik's personal soundtrack for his daily subway commute while engrossed in Murakami novels, the project took on a life of its own.
 
In 2018, Erik made a conscious decision to turn this into an annual tradition, committing to record an album each year following the first snowfall. The raw essence of his second album served as the demo version for his release with Whitelabrecs, titled "Awakening of the Pines". The record drew inspiration from Munich's surroundings, the majestic Alps, the Isar river, and the nearby forest. During the challenges posed by the Covid-19 lockdowns and beyond, Erik experienced a surge in creative productivity. He dedicated time to refining his sound, experimenting with techniques, and applying newfound knowledge to both the development of fresh material and the enhancement of his existing body of work.
 
The writing of "Awakening of the Pines" involved diverse techniques and ideas, reflecting Erik's pursuit of discovery. The initial compositions varied in style, with some leaning towards a post-rock aesthetic and others embracing a more synth-based approach. Despite this diversity, the common thread binding the tracks on this record together was the inspiration from his surrounding environment alongside the novels he was reading at the time. Each piece retains its original character, preserving the essence of its initial spark, creating a cohesive yet eclectic album.
