With previous releases on U-Cover Ltd and Slaapwel Records, Sonmi451 here delivers an exceedingly delicate tribute to the stars and and to our star system. These softy crystaline and glittering pieces of pure electronica reflect perfectly the individual stars that they are named after, and like the night sky, flicker and fade with an ever shifting aura of calming beauty. The perfect soundtrack to an evening out under the night sky!

Sonmi451 - Omicron Ceti

A track originally submitted to the Weekly Beats 2014 project

Belong

This tune was originally composed for an acoustic Guitar Craft trio (Trio Gitarristik, with Leander Reininghaus and Michael Peters on guitars, and Markus Reuter on Chapman stick and Warr guitar). Here I am supported by Christian Schaal on bass and Simon Herkenrath on drums. Recorded in the rehearsal room in April 2010

Dange Strays (Hulle version)

Cut up voices, tuned, with some electronic treatments.
The voices were recorded from radio, I chose most of them based on their sound, emotion, timbre, the melody of speech, regardless of any literal meaning of the words.
New  (non existing) words and phrases were formed with the rearranging of tiny samples.

*Important Notice :
There has been a mistake in the tracklist of Ambient Network III, track 2 (now track 5) "Crystals and Stuff" is actually "Is Calm" but I stupidly mixed up the titles back then ... Oopsie! Sorry for any confusion :)

Is Calm

Studying under Robert Ashley and Terry Riley at the fabled Mills College Center For Contemporary Music before graduating into the margins of the '70s bay area new music scene, Ms. Brouk blazed her own trail well outside of the musical establishment to create uncompromising electronic and acoustic work of sleek beauty and primal power. Describing herself as less a composer than a channel, she took her cues from the frequencies of the natural world and the talents of collaborators like Maggi Payne and Bill Maraldo. Hearing Music collects for the first time the deepest cuts from her beguiling and rare cassette releases and her archive of previously unreleased recordings.

Some Stupid Haiku

sitting on my sofa last night, dabbling with my iPad, finding out how to midi-sync a drum app and an arpeggiated bass. All apps were synced (using Link), and the results recorded, in Aum. Everything, including the horrible solos, was played in realtime. This is not meant to be taken seriously but more as a proof of concept :)

Lucrecia Dalt - Tar

"Nzuku” emphasizes the feeling that something distinct has begun. Its strong atmosphere has the scent of narrative. Rotating on a hypnotic marimba pattern and an octave-driven bass reminiscent of Charlie Haden, it’s a loose-limbed meeting of sounds and approaches. It’s the sound of an ensemble working together in harmony, opening doors for one another. It makes you want to open a window and let in the fresh air. A sunbaked workout that suggests a 6/4 cycle, it’s a wild blend of dusted atmospherics, a low-slung hammock in a cosmic jazz disco style.

Smoke and Guns by Alex Hass & Bill Laswell

www.alexhaas.com

The collaboration between musician/artist Alex Haas and bassist/producer Bill Laswell is an homage to the organized chaos and flux of their changing city. NYC has been their creative muse since the late 70’s when they met, working their way up in the music business and recording in studios such as Media Sound and Power Station. Their first session together, with Alex as assistant engineer and Bill producing, was for Bootsie Collins’ deep pocket dub funk - a precursor to the duos mutual styles and musical symbiosis.


Over the years, the two producers went on to work with a bucket list of whose who, including David Bowie, PIL, The Ramones, Prince, Brian Eno and MotorHead, assisting on Grammy winning sessions for U2’s “All That You Can Leave Behind” and Eric Clapton’s “Tears in Heaven.” While they worked diligently on crafting superb work for marquee acts, they also made time to hone in on their own serious yet approachable hybrid of Ambient Dub, World, Jazz and 90’s Trip Hop. “Nostalgia is in fashion at the moment, with a definite resurgence of interest in the 90’s,” Haas asserts. “I never stopped liking that era.”


Smoke and Glass is their sophomore release, following up 2018’s Nowstalgia. The majority of the new album was recorded at Treehouse Studios in Paris as well as all around NYC and in restaurants in Morocco and living rooms and kitchens in South East Asia. The recordings pull from a variety of musical influences, from Sly and Robbie to Miles Davis. But the dominating style is clearly the innovative British Trip Hop pioneered by bands like Massive Attack, who melded their influences into a distinctly urban vibe.

Smoke + Glass

For more than 40 years, Michael Peters has explored the world looking for new sounds. Most of his musical output veers from the mainstream and has been difficult to categorize. The renowned WIRE magazine has reviewed two of his albums in their "Outer Limits" section, which says it all.

Michael's main instrument is the guitar - he studied with renowned guitarist, Robert Fripp and also is influenced by guitarists David Torn, Eivind Aarset, and Fred Frith. He extends the guitar using electronic effects, midi, and livelooping techniques. He has played in avant rock and open improvisational groups.

He also has experimented with sampling and cutting up random FM radio broadcasts to use as elements in live improvisation.

By the same token, he has become more and more fascinated by using more stuctured compositions, using the computer as a musical instrument.

For anyone with open ears, the world of sound outside of regular music is also full of wonder. Michael loves to record interesting environmental sounds (field recording) and then recontextualize and sculpt them using digital tools such as granular synthesis, incorporating the results into musical compositions and soundscapes.

Michael is a member of Looper's Delight, a very active international community of people who use looping technology for their music making. He also is a seminal and pivotal member of the Chain Tape Collective, a group of dozens of electronic and electro-acoustic composers whose musicians create collaborative music projects together.

From time to time, Michael Peters has also been active as a programmer and visual artist in the field of abstract computer graphics. He is an avid photographer and has designed his own websites as well as the one for the Chain Tape Collective.

In the year 2000, he started an ambitious project called MY2K where he created an all original 10 second piece of music for every single day of the year.

In 2008, he hosted the 1st International Livelooping Festival in Cologne, featuring ten livelooping soloists from Germany, Italy, Belgium, Austria, and USA. In 2009, he performed at livelooping festivals in Belgium, Italy, and California.

Michael Peters lives in a small village east of Cologne, Germany. He loves to sit on a bench outside, listening ...
