Fantaisies series

- short tracks

The tracks were uploaded in 2020, the youngest (#19) from 13 days ago, 18/12/2020: Pier WILL "After A Night...", with the following exceptions:
. . - Moloton (Atonet - Alhambra)(#9):  2 Y,

Calm & Steady series

- short tracks
- dance music

All were uploaded after 03/2020, mostly in Fall, with the following exception:
. . - Darnok "Demolish Serious Nature"(#10):  3 years,
. . - Talise Waya "Hollow"(#6):  12 - 23 months,
. . - Nick Cosic "Modular Session #11"(#11):  12 - 23 months.

The other series (short tracks) so far are:
- "Hard-Fast-or-Nasty" (more intense/abrasive)
- "MiddleLane", and "Superdance" (the middle, or ambivalence)
- "Funky-Dub-Trap" (self explanatory)
- "Fantaisies" (for professional dancers only)
- "Minimal"
- "Dark"
- "BreakB-Jungle-DnB"

There is little overlap between them, mostly between: *
. . A) MiddleLane, Superdance
and
. . B) all other series

* Increasingly there is some overlap between "Calm & Steady" and "Funky-Dub-Trap", and between a bunch of others (Dark, Minimal, ...). I'm trying to keep it to the minimum, the overlap, tracks finding themselves in more than one playlist.

Entrando en el Corazón

Improvisation on marimba over Shuar chants and forest sounds.
Played, mixed and produced by Tropico del Cancer (Juan Pino). www.juanpino.dk
Shuar and Amazon samples taken from "Ecuador: the Shuar world of sound" - recordings by Pierre Salivas.

The chants "tracklist" (from the original recordings' notes):
- SUNG DUO. The woman starts this piece dancing; her many rapid small jumps make her bell belt jingle. The man then enters the lists, singing another "song". Only the beat is common to both.
- ANENT OF NUA TSANKU - tobacco woman. Femal puberty is marked by this ritual, during which the young initiate drinks tobacco juice. During the drunkenness which follows, the singer's mother taught her these specific anent.
- TUNA ANENT - anent of the waterfall. These two anent retrace the male initiation which takes place at puberty. Fasting, the repeated absorption of tobacco juice and the drinking of datura juice serve as a prelude to a bath in the waterfall where Autram, the strength dispenser, lives. The unique and premonitory vision which young men can acquire during this ritual is materialised by an encounter with Arutam and a message he delivers to them.
- ANENT FOR SHAKAIM. Shakaim is a mythical figure representing the working man. The woman evokes both the working qualities of her husband and her privileged relationship with Nunkui.
- TUMANK SOLO - followed by an anent chant. 
- ANENT TO NUNKUI. This is the "credo" of the Shuar woman: sung publicly, this anent signals that his owner wants to affirm her quality as a good farmer. . The intention of this anent is not secret, since it belongs to an outfit common to all women.

Anent: "to think, to love, to remember". The anent are instruments of propriatorey action which use the sound medium.
Heterophony: "coexistence of several sound emissions which don't try to be together but rather to affirm their individuality". With the Shuar one can note a tendency to a principle of superposition rather than unification.

The Shuar make a lot of music but speak little of it: for example, there is no word in shuar which could be equivalent to "music". 
The Shuar don't require silence before singing or playing.

The Shuar people are an indigenous people of Ecuador and Peru. They are members of the Jivaroan peoples, who are Amazonian tribes living at the headwaters of the Marañón River.

▶ Bandcamp: https://chriskomus.bandcamp.com/album/sickly-fingers

Plucking on the vibratory strings of the cosmos, Sickly Fingers offers a glimpse beyond the dark and visionary frontiers of psychedelic music, where time has eroded genre into its primal components. A luscious array of wobbly glitch textures, micro-edited basslines, and bluesy instrumentation, this mesmeric release from Chris Komus puts a cutting-edge twist on the hypnotic and pioneering spirits of old-school space rock and classic dub. Engineered for a new age of sonic exploration, Sickly Fingers reveals the timeless influences lurking in the deepest expanses of modern psychedelia.

Chris Komus - The Infinite Emptiness Of Space

Wolf Tech’s Quest EP deposits us in a shimmering realm of progressive tech rhythms, vivid synth textures and crisp, prismatic beats. Blending the organic forms of reality with the warped and ephemeral tones of psychedelic bass, this elaborate collection of sprawling soundscapes tests the boundaries of what can be conjured in a visionary space. Supported by rich dub roots and a hyper-sensory approach to sound design, Wolf Tech’s invigorating tonic of refractive effects and grounding synthetic instrumentation is a melodic journey through the sonic prism into the liminal division between night and day.

Strong Feelings

Mindspring Music Presents: Santiago Niño - A Voyage To Arcturus [MSM041]

A voyage into the stars has been possible for eons from emotions alone. Simply by closing our eyes, we can travel to distant dimensions and exotic worlds. The imagination, as we call it, is a tool that can be used to unlock the endless bounds of the universe. Santiago Nino and his latest collaborative work with Natural Life Essence, “A Voyage to Arcturus,” is a soul-warming homage to the original novel by David Lindsay. It’s as if the 1920’s sci-fi story was morphed into an ambient audioscape, a spiritual array of intimate drone and astral instrumentations. This carefully layered passion project is a breathtaking dive into the very core of existence itself; it is, perhaps, the essence of meditation. Through cheerful electronica and the hypnotic sounds of nature, these four tracks are meant to help you close your eyes and embark on that very same journey.

Parallel Remixed

Warmth - Spherule (Purl Remix)

Lyrics:
In a parallel universe...
How many times would we meet?
Just a couple?
Or are we destined to be infinitely?
Would we go through the cycles we've been through?
Learn lessons sooner, set our hearts' course anew.

Oh hollow out my soul.

In a parallel universe...
Would I find my hiraeth?
That feeling of missing home, finally met.
Would I come across a wonderland, 
full of absurdities?
Would I get lost in all of the mystery?

Oh hollow out my soul.
Oh hollow out my soul.
Oh hollow....

Hollow

"

The pulsating and oscillating sounds of the opening track titled “Intangible Society” sets the tone for this EP, which is then taken a step further into the relentlessly dynamic and aggressive sounds of the next track, “Detached”. “Manboo Cafe” stands out due to it’s nuanced acidic tonality, while Yakkushi’s remix of “Intangible Society” is noteworthy for the way it substitutes the harsher sounds of the original track with cryptic overtones, resulting in a harmonious amalgamation of industrial and mystical sounds. Whilst Abstract Man’s remix of this track stimulates the track with even greater vigour with the inclusion of rhythmic and playful watery sounds."

ΠΕΡΑ ΣΤΑ ΟΡΗ | REVANCHE

Martin Nonstatic releases "Treeline", a crispy cinematic and electronic album build upon lucious morphing atmospheres ; ever spiralling, electric glides and audacious rhythmic patterns. A dance at dawn album with a view; deeply rolling on stretched-out dub. 
The story got a definite Martin Nonstatic touch to it, you'll even hear sounds you've heard before and think you're on safe grounds but this time to composer will carry you way beyond your expectations, revealing aspects of his creation with more grit and an adventurous mind.
Neoteric by essence and yet a return to some oneiric trip-hop and the day after, hands up in the air, dancing grooves feeling ; Treeline is the third album signed on French imprint Ultimae, from a rather prolific artist who launched into numerous collaborations including the Ghostwalk EP with James Murray and the Eskostatic album and who, throughout his art, keeps on questioning causes and underlying perceptions.

Odyssey (Inst.)

Derived from the Latin “Ultimae Terrae,” meaning “the furthest places,” the name Ultimae reflects a profound theme of exploration. This concept is at the heart of Ultimae Records, an ambient music record label and publisher dedicated to transporting listeners to the outer edges of experience through sound and offering a space for introspection and discovery within the vastness of the mind and beyond.

In 1999, Vincent Villuis and Sandrine Gryson, also known as AES Dana and Mahiane, united over a shared passion for the immersive world of electronic music. This collaboration led to the birth of the label. Initially envisioned as a musical portal, Ultimae’s mission was to explore and disseminate the diverse expressions of Ambient music far and wide through the production of records and the establishment of an online shop.

Over the years, Ultimae has expanded beyond its original scope, evolving into a multifaceted company with sound design, post-production, and mastering studios based in Lyon, France, along with professional services in publishing, music licensing, and synchronization.
