Target to Nowhere

Recorded in 2003, 'Target To Nowhere' is nothing short of K2's dizzying cascade of junk metal manipulation and electronic elegance, contorted into grim chaos for the opening track before returning to the tighly edited, constantly re-inventive pincer-strike that this project is renowned for, with the two remaining studio tracks. Also includes a lengthy, barraging live track with the same elements melted and malleted while on the front line. (Cipher Productions)

Kadaver is a project by Michael Zolotov from Israel. The sounds of Kadaver shifts from dark and twisted ambient through industrial till harsh noise and power electronics. This is a cancer.

It's the emptiness that devours your meaningless being and bleed as tears of decay over it. (Mask of the slave)

Kallabris belongs to those mythical groups emerging from the mid 80s 'industrial' music. Over a time span of 14 years, they have released 2 LP's, 1 10'', 1 cassette and 2 7''. Kallabris come from the Cranioclast areas (who, even when a little bit more active, are likewise obscure), but operate within more acoustic music. Piano, accordion and voice play a role. These two tracks, linked by their title, are chamber music pieces to be played in a cafe. One side is like a slightly electronic treated version of the other. Introspective music, thoughful played. Kallabris are a myth to be cherished. ltd 250 (Genesungswerk)

Hund vor die Tur
|
LP
|
"The significance of dogs is something which struck me a long time ago. If one compares Mark Twain’s A Dog’s Tale with Willard Van Orman Quine’s Two Dogmas of Empiricism, for example, one finds that Twain’s account of the narrator’s mother (who is a collie) is much more knowing than Quine’s account of the meaning of a tail. Experience tells us that it might be best to acknowledge that certain tails don’t have a meaning at all. This is especially true if one thinks of certain dogs and their resemblance to applied mathematics. One does not have to consult Crelle’s Journal to understand that their tails — whether pure or slightly grubby — can’t possibly move them. It’s always the dog that moves the tail — never the other way round.” (Entr'acte)

Kallabris’ scientific research has always been outstanding: their North Pole expedition, the chemistry of change that can be experienced in mocha, the ondadynamical theory as a clue for the explanation of mental phenomena — just to mention a few, well-known highlights. This time, they go for the core of it all: epistemology covered with ontological speculations. The Apologia gives a rough, yet charmingly delivered sketch of the project — impressions and reflections performed with an impressing beat. The Corpus Maior is a dance of condensed thought, a playful and enchanted rhythm that cheerfully leads to the Epilogus which, with its skeptical melancholy, makes plainly obvious how little is done when the answers are given. A tribute to quest, but in no means to discovery. (Entr'acte)

What Kam Hassah do with "this forest" is to move perfectly a dense stratas of sounds in a hypnagocic way, the rotary slow motion of drones, the layers of reverbarted voices, will bring you down under the moaning branches of this gloomy forest of sounds. A spiral implosion will show you the dark side of your soul where no light can shine and then... under again, in the viscous undergrowth where the beasts crawl.

Tsurumai

Recorded in the industrial city of Nagoya, Japan, "Tsurumai" is an expansive album of rough electro-acoustic music. Starting from a few small clicks, the music steadily grows outward, uneasily shifting and expanding. Rude bumps interrupt narcotic drones, the telltale human hands of improvisation disappear into a mysterious group sound, acoustic and digital elements blur, vision fails, and time stops…

When Leslie Keffer lived in Athens, Ohio she was asked about the noise scene there. Youre looking at it, she responded. Indeed. Leslie is one of the more fascinating proponents of homegrown Middle American noise music. A single girl drawn to the more ravaged and magical aspects of noise as source music, art and lifestyle. She has since moved to Nashville where she has been developing and progressing her personal take on what is basically a highly marginal genre of music. (Ecstatic Peace)

As a veteran of the Massachusetts experimental music community and Minister of Fanfares for the Kingdom of Elgaland-Vargaland, Greg Kelley is well known in his capacity as a trumpeter, but for this release he shows his considerable merits as a composer of solo musique concrete. For this recording he takes as source material recordings from minidisc and microcassette made during a tour with Mike Bullock and edits them into a single 35+ minute composition. The results are unlike anything Kelley has done before: rigorous, methodical tape-collage, in turns pensive and aggressive, brittle and supple. The record becomes a revolving exploration of a set of atmospherics, rigidly set into a rusty frame of tape-hiss, fragments emerging from the dreams of a long convalescence.

Babel is an extremely dynamic and dense work that could generally be classified as experimental dark ambient.

A profound and monumental journey lasting well over two hours. (Diophantine discs)

Chosen Powerless
|
CD
|
full-length album from death industrial recluse Ryan Oppermann, perhaps best known for his work as REDROT and NEUNTÖTER DER PLAGE. Building upon the dismal, minimal sound of previous works and moving into far more elaborate territory, CHOSEN POWERLESS marks a major step forward for the project. Over the course of five tracks of extended length, intricate layers of analogue synthesizers and corroded electronics dissolve into each other, giving way to vague melodies and sickly pulsations. Slow moving, yet constantly active, these are obsessive compositions of high-fidelity and extreme detail. Through a decisive combination of unsettling textures, suffocating mid-range ambience, and absolutely mind-numbing low-end, CHOSEN POWERLESS submerges the listener in a claustrophobic experience of deep psychosis and the attempt to medicate. Is the objective to reintegrate, or to assimilate? (Expecotrant Recordings)

Kryptogen Rundfunk + Hladna
Rokton + Formanta
|
3"CD
|
Hladna and Kryptogen Rundfunk - behind these names stand two St. Petersburg-based musicians playing experimental noise music. They both nourish a tender passion for old electronic instruments and often use them at their concerts and on recordings. One warm sunny day they gathered and decided to play on two analogue rhythm synthesizers "Rokton" and "Formanta". These are actually two identical instruments which were produced in the Soviet Union by two different factories. Each of them is the "brain" for electronic drum-kit, but can also be used separately - as a multi-channel tone-noise-generator or rhytm-machine. Kryptogen Rundfunk used his device smoothly, evenly and calmly while Hladna expelled from his more sharp and unpredictable sounds. Worth mentioning are Hladna's non-standard ways of making sound - on the last two tracks he opened the back plate of his synth and played not only using knobs but also getting inside and abridging contacts with his own hands (for which he was incidentally struck by the current a couple of times). Live recording without any processing, with all it's natural crackles and tasty overloads. Abstract electronics, minimalism and a little noise. (Zhelezobeton)

Igor Krutogolov, Israeli composer and musician, participates in a large amount of musical projects, such as collaborations with 'Chaos as Shelter', 'Bastard Noise', 'Agnivolok', 'Tidal', 'Crossfishes', 'NJD' and others. 'Muzika Elektronica' is clearly noise orientated and built using an instrumentarium of drums, washing machine, bass (with cello bow), drum machine and voices. Loud eruptions of distorted sounds with an incredible detailed structure leave just the right amount of breathing room in the form of slow bass driven beats and quiet, melodical passages.
