Terry Riley - démo

Make a journey into a dead space maze, if you can make the time to listen...

This soundscape song is created and inspired based on a dream. This style of making soundscapes/music is therefore called ‘ Dream Story sonification’ in my opinion. There is a scientific aproach to capture the brainwaves from dream activity into sounds but not the whole story and atmosphere of a dream. For making this possible, there is just the memory of the mind and use it to translate it in the right sounds and compositions with experimental sounds of a sampler/synth or other gear. This I have been training for years, to memorize my dreams and using these dreams in translated sound compositions. That was my intention in this song/soundscape.

GIL - Infolding 
Cat. Nr: DN015
Format: Digital
Release Date: 12 July 2019
Buy: https://bit.ly/2ERpTgG

GIL’s latest record Infolding is released by Danse Noire, his second release on the label since Orchids and Wasps. Aptly named, it traces an inward fold, both of the artist's leanings and the listener's experience. The record is reflective, probing, and supple; its arrangements a development of the musical language explored in his previous release.

Infolding engages both with composition and non-determinism, its playfulness skipping across dramatic deluge and expansive gestures to gently paced segments, a game of hide and seek. GIL displays once again his interest in movement as well as an understanding of the fine aspects which determine familiarity and structure; time as rhythm, embodiment as genre, precognition and expectation – the agents of notional listening get questioned gently and persistently. The result is music which will joyfully betray an ear's expectation, replacing it with a twist or sudden space. The record dances on an unstable surface, dipping where it should rise, halting where it could pound, uttering affecting melodies, gracefully yet laboriously; GIL's is an introspective, churning, bone rattling palette.

Hardly ever offering a moment of rest, he creates environments in which something is perpetually pulling, stretching, towards-tending. Laden with cartwheeling themes and hooks which appear and disappear in different shades, the record houses overarching motifs which appear and scatter over the span of several tracks. This dizzying distribution makes for an in-folded listening, in which the artist considers the record's body as outside of single frameworks, its premises and planting delayed or waylaid by new, unexpected considerations.

The distinct sense of motion in the record is the artist making use of his experience as a live musician, and is further developed due to his aphantasiac condition. An inability to visualize both imagery and sound in his mind spurs GIL into sensing arrangements by physical preemption and resonance, reactively. Unsurprisingly then, Infolding takes shape as a blindfolded, visceral dance.

GIL - Compact Renewal

Ecker & Meulyzer “Carbon” (SUB033)

Digital & CD: https://eckermeulyzer.bandcamp.com/album/carbon

Koenraad Ecker and Frederik Meulyzer make their Subtext debut with Carbon. 

Based on field recordings made at Norway’s Svalbard Global Seed Vault, a secure seed bank located on the island of Spitsbergen, Carbon grapples with the many contradictions that lie at the heart of our shift into the capitalocene. The project began in 2017, when Ecker and Meulyzer scored the performance “Frozen Songs,” a commission by Zero Visibility Dance Company led by Ina Christel Johannesen.

The Svalbard Global Seed Vault was conceived of as an effort to preserve copies of seeds from key crop varieties, ensuring their persistence in the event of large-scale crises. Yet the area is warming faster than anywhere else on earth, causing the permafrost to melt and putting the seed vault at risk. 

Across from the Seed Vault lie the decrepit remnants of Svalbard’s mining activities of the early 20th century; Carbon wrestles with the incongruities nestled in the town’s landscape. Reflecting on dissonances of stasis and change, closeness and distance, enclosure and expanse, as well as cynicism and hope, Ecker and Meulyzer consider the urgency of our situation while trying to sidestep all-too popular depictions of dystopia. In Ecker’s own words, “we don’t have the luxury to afford that kind of pessimism.” 

From close, supple sounds to cold, brutal sonics, Carbon meditates on the many challenging questions and contradictions raised by the Seed Vault and its surroundings—a landscape that embodies and makes visible the many intertwined phenomena that shape our current predicament.

Ecker and Meulyzer, formerly known as Stray Dogs, have released works such as Wasteland, recorded in deconsecrated church in Antwerp, and Kalkar, recorded in the cooling tower of a former power station in Germany. 

Koenraad Ecker works in the fields of electro-acoustic music, field recording, radio plays, stage performance and text. Together with Andrea Taeggi, he is part of the Opal Tapes-affiliated duo Lumisokea. His output encompasses studio albums, audiovisual installations, texts, performances, and sound design for film. 

Frederik Meulyzer is a percussionist active in projects including Belgian jazz band Hamster Axis of the One-Click Panther, contemporary music and theatre company Post uit Hessdalen, and experimental psych-krautrock band Slumberland.

The ecological impact of the production of this record will be compensated through a carbon offsetting program .
