CD

Two guys who lived in the same street, in the same suburb, on different sides of the globe fiddle about with each others unfinished tapes for about three years and pop out an ambitious collection of multiple-fidelity drone, shimmer & tinkle, and stereo carnage that easily ranks with the best that either of the participants have created on their own. Its pretty clear that the universe has pre-ordained this pairing of souls since the dawn of time, and smiled kindly upon their meager efforts to entertain and amuse the record buying public. Come, partake of their impressive Feng Shui.

Bezdna
|
CD
|
New album of Moscow-based project Cisfinitum is the experiment in more emotional rather than in musical domain. Deep and profound, it's touching the most dark corners of human soul and takes it to the imaginary otherworlds. This peculiar quality of Cisfinitum music is achieved through extensive use of soviet analogue synthesizers, but the spiritual beauty of "Bezdna" is also created by violin and omnipresent voices. Psychoactive dark ambient combined with melodic incantations. (Monochrome Vision)

Movement + Rest
|
CD
|
"Movement + Rest is the result of two years work listening, collecting and arranging sound. My recordings attempt to blur the distinction between electronic, acoustic and ambient sources. Analog or acoustic instruments are used because of the direct physical process with which they generate sound. I take field recordings from sounds that habitually go unnoticed in the daily environment (airplanes overhead, trains passing in the night, the broken radiator at the end of the hall, falling snow), as well as those which are less accessible for hearing (the abandoned subway tunnels of Toronto, a muffled cab ride through Guadalajara, contact mics on Jacques Cartier Bridge, etc.). I combine nondescript omnipresent noises that surround us with instrumental and vocal recordings to create a landscape of sounds that unites the properties of both musical and everyday contexts". -JODA CLÉMENT

Meridian
|
CD
|
Meridian is a dark and esoteric album, very focused, full of sounds at once harsh and ambient, with forceful drones and rich textures. Sounds were created with acoustic winds, electric guitar, analog and junk synthesizers and gritty electronics, mixed to create a foreboding atmosphere. Meridian was recorded in two weeks during the monsoon season of 2008. A careful study into the symbols inside the album show an obsession with elemental force and eternal power. Clew Of Theseus evokes images of furious storms, wiping the landscape of blight, bringing beautiful darkness in its wake. (Cathartic Process)

Clew of Theseus / Buckettovsissors

This split release is perfect for a cold Winter. Clew Of Theseus starts off this split with Eve I that will remind listeners of some of the eerie droning tracks on “Oran.” Things shift significantly in Eve II when the track shifts from electronic buzzes and guitar drones to bowed screeches then give way to a field recording of a storm. Buckettovsissors of Germany produces two masterful tracks of synth-based drone that will conjure impressions of a more minimalist version of early M.B. A close listening to these tracks that superficially sound static will reveal the multiple shifting dimensions in the tracks. (Cathartic Process)

Closing the Eternity is a Siberian 'cosmic drone' project from Ekaterinburg.

There's a drift towards objectlessness and dissolution in these sounds where they undergo into non-existence or is it transformation into a higher existing form? This is the perfect soundtrack to the 'red dawn of the north'. (Drone Records)

The uneasy coexistence of cracking ice, disintegrating clay and unstable systems of combined electronic devices 'could be seen as a manifestation of the schizophrenia that is crucial to the survival of the modern individual'.

Hive
|
3" CD
|
I grew up with the sound of bees, my father was an amateur beekeeper. It is an amazingly complex but also simple sound, full of warmth, comfort, but also menace-the drone of many tiny legs and wings. My father's hives were wiped out by a virus before I could make a recording, but I found someone willing to let me visit them in the hills of California. I made recordings from the outside and inside, embedding microphones among the active bees and positioning them at the entrances to the hives. It took me some years to arrive at an idea of how to use this material in a respectful way. The sound itself is so beautiful in it's monotony. I could listen to it forever. But i took it as a challenge to examine my relationship to this sound, to view it from several angles including raw unprocessed recordings as well as playback through cymbals and analog synthesizer. I hope somehow it shows my perception of the overlap between our current electronic reality and one of the most elemental sounds on earth. - Joe Colley (Ferns recordings)

World Transmissions 3 and 4
|
2xLP
|
These two LPs are a document about the state of the German band Column One at the time these recording were made. Recorded in 1994, World transmission 3 is an attempt at trying to translate the architecture of a church into sounds. To do so, members of Column One arranged three microphones in this church, and played various acoustic instruments at several locations inside the building. These two tracks are supposed to render the "aura" of the church and get their character from this very architecture. Music-wise, here are two very calm and acoustic sounding track, with a lot of uncommon instruments (harmonium, whistles, wood organ) being used. World transmission 4 is a reworked version of a concert given in 1998, during which a lot of ethnic field recordings were used, as well as some traditional percussion's, the whole thing being run through tape effects. Once again, all heavily mixed afterwards. The results are a very different musical listen then the previous LP, with a very ritualistic feel to it. A nice document at the wide variety of sounds Column one can produce, and Beautifully packaged in a fold out sleeve.

Cría Cuervos, from Italy, proposes here a truly beautiful piece of dark ambient. The best image I could use to depict this piece is to describe it as a mysterious living being getting out of its lethargy and discovering an hostile world. Slowly evolving, the sound constantly progresses to reach an unexpected climax. (Taalem)

Ottoman Black
|
CD
|
An album of midnight drones and true noise. Using powerfully clear electronics as a base for declarative noise bursts, Crumer manipulates the sounds with a resounding animosity. Crumer yields his mean streak to an array of silences over the course of the album. The theme here is personal relations; tracks like "Betrayal After Betrayal" have a conversational quality, both the screams and the
muffles, the physicality. "Where Were You" is an actionist-influenced
piece of torture. There's nothing not painful here, especially the
quiet; the peaks are almost a relief. Ottoman Black is a stern and
unforgiving universe. (Hospital Productions)

Wasteland (with bonus Alpha Omega ep
|
2xCD
|
The 2nd CD from this Russian project, The tone of this album is quietly epic, holding a tension that builds and ebbs, only momentarily breaking out into moments of more dramatic and grandiose stances. The sound is very densely layered, but produced very well in order that the extent of composition can be fully realized. Rhythm is sparse, consisting of occasional solemn percussion, and the whole thing is carried by this sense of tension throughout, augmented by a subtle use of sampling which creates a very soundtrack like quality to the album. It is this melding of the classical and the synthetic in a seamless manner which marks Cyclotimia as something rather special. (State art)
