Globularia nudicaulis

Here's my musical resonance to this week's haiku from @naviar-records.

orchids by night – within their fragrance looms their blossoms’ white!

Then She Reaches for the Gun was formed in 2021 by Mat Ward. At its essence is sound collage, Ward invites musicians, sound artists, poets and anyone interested to send him files to be used, abused and showcased ‘as suggested by the work’. They are not always musical but field recordings, spoken word, engine noises and drunken rants. Animals participate a lot too! The raw material is arranged with one phrase asking for the next in an alchemical and intuitive process that will most often feature dozens of tracks weaving in and out of each other, colliding, harmonising, arguing and laughing along the way.

Both the aesthetic and the compositional methods use what Frank Zappa called Xenochrony - the mixing together of separately recorded and rhythmically opposing musical phrases to create polyrhythmic and polytempi compositions.The work also features fragmented story telling with the human voice (in many languages) appearing unannounced throughout the tracks offering up snippets of thoughts, conversations, jokes and existential angst. The absurdity of humanities desperate claim to have any real understanding of its place in the universe is revealed through the recorded follies and genuine emotions of the artists. The project is a celebration of chance, diversity and community. It pays homage to all musical tastes and genres whilst maintaining a sense of humour and irreverence that is needed to stay sane in the climate of  21st Century contemporary culture.

In a world where every word carries weight, UK based electronic producer Simon Vince (HERE) invites listeners into a sonorous exploration of the unnoticed silences and spaces. With his latest ambient album and second release on Shimmering Moods ; Spaces Between Words. HERE crafts eight beautifully fragile and melancholic electronica tracks that delve into the delicate nuances of love and loss. 
Each piece is a hauntingly wistful soundscape, woven from electro-acoustic ambience and drones to shimmering synths, delicate textures, and gentle pulses that evoke the bittersweet essence of separation. 

From the emotive echoing tones in “Spaces Between Words” to the nostalgic reverberations and drawn out chords of “I Find You In Whispers" this album invites you to embrace the unspoken and the unshared, allowing you to linger in the quiet spaces that define our connections.

Magical Box

Magic Box
I want your
Magic Box
I'm in awe of the madness

Magic Box
I want your
Magic Box
I'm in awe of the magic

failure to handle
or grasp the weight of this candle
that burns in me

Magic Box I'm in
I have toxic skin
if you don't begin
don't expect to end

Magic Box 
I love your
Magic Box
I'm in awe and it's tragic

Magic Box 
I love your
Magic Box
I'm in awe and it's magic

failure to handle
or grasp the weight of this candle
that burns in me

Magic Box I'm in
I have toxic skin
if you don't begin
don't expect to end

Magic Box of love
it's the strongest drug
you can feel the hug
all the stars & such

Magic Box of death
lay me down to rest
I can't stand this test
fills my heart with lead

Magical Box

art which overwhelms the senses, makes no sense, is incongruous with the 'normal' thinking process, which transforms and transmutates the listener into something they were not during before, and creates a permanent evolutionary change.

 
"Music projects a living image into your existence, it is an expression of something beyond our own comprehension, seemingly existing as part of the moment only as color and feeling – something that Unearth Noise has been able to achieve with every single track that I've listened to. The name itself can allow you to vaguely imagine what you are about to fall under the spell of. " -Rolby Perez of Neitherzine (http://neitherzine.com/)
