New dark ambient album from Swedens Objekt4. Each track starts with gently undulating tones, building on that base and adding swirling mists of sound and menacing atmosphere that ultimately increases in anxiety. Dark horror, thriller soundtrack and combination of menacing atmosphere...drones build before crashing beast and heavy bass. Rhythmic and frame-chaotic and desperate trip to other side of light!

released in conjunction with the Segerhuva showcase at Fylkingen in Stockholm, april 2004. Treriksröset splurts out 4 minutes of frequencies totally out of balance for those in love with older times. undoubtedly one of Sweden's most uncompromising artists today. Ochu sits back and lets the loops do the talking. Lo-fi production and slowly moving, pounding, shredding tones is the order for the day. (Segerhuva)

Yui Ondodera is a composer and multi-instrumentalist from Tokyo, who runs his own label 'Critical Path' to find "new ways to listen to sound" and who is also active in organizing concerts, composing soundtracks for experimental films and in designing sounds for contemporary dance & Butoh. On "Synergetics", he presents two tracks of very minimal and quiet oceanic drones, based on guitar and piano. The music shimmers like light-reflections on water in extreme slow motion, when single recognizable tunes appear. Music for full concentration and contemplation, almost feathery and warm.

Elochim
|
CD
|
Second full length release by this Belgian trio. For this CD, Ontayso created a special release of manipulated electro-acoustic music in a dark and sensitive way, inspired by the artwork of strip artist Moebius. ('Elochim' is a planet in one of his famous strips). Again the music intends to take your mind to unknown and exciting places. It will slowly capture your thoughts and lead you in some natural trance as if you've been walking in outer space. Nothing sounds like it should, high tech manipulations take an important place while emotion is never left behind, maintaining the central elements of the Ontayso sound.

OPION SOMNIUM is a one man project from Santa Fe, New Mexico, that is fascinated with birds being divine creatures and focusing on themes of eternity and death. The breathtaking drones of OPION SOMNIUM spread a sad, melancholic atmosphere, which is at the same time full of beauty. The compositions are based on instruments played in real time, i.e. viola, accordion and piano, but also on floating electronics. Both tracks on this EP sound ethereal, spacey, and intensively emotional. ltd. 300 (drone)

Grey Variables

LP
|
1st full-length LP by American vital slugger Gordon Ashworth. Two long tracks documented in Portland, Oregon 2006-2007. Fierce and solid burst with shrill metal junk roar, whirl high-frequency feedbacks and brutal vocal, is a circumspect composition of laying heavy assaults from physical strength and depressive electronics. Explosion break the silence, the silence erode explosion. When you look up the horizon, your blood will remember 'Grey Variables'. (Dogma Chase)

Gordon Ashworth began recording and performing as Oscillating Innards in 2001. He came to prominence in the West Coast US harsh noise scene, performing, collaborating and touring with like-minded artists such as Men Who Can't Love and Pedestrian Deposit. Ashworth's style was an amalgam of varied tactics, all of which are addressed on this retrospective. The ferocity of his whip crack cut-ups was matched by that of his long-form wall noise pieces. His ambient, drone works, field recordings and tape collages all bristled with tension, as if each moment simultaneously held inside it the possibility of miraculous cohesion, or abject ruination. Irretrievable: MMII - MMVII collects two and a half hours of material from Ashworth's tenure as Oscillating Innards, much of it previously released, though long unavailable, by labels including Callow God, Troniks, Dada Drumming, and Ashworth's own Iatrogenesis. The release coincides with Ashworth's final tour as Oscillating Innards, and represents a striking conclusion of an accomplished oeuvre. (Phage tapes)

Giovanni donadini are one of the most “young” prolific musician in italy today.. for over a decade he do lots of great things.. touring the entire europa, japan and usa, putting out tons of shirt, prints, zine, cloths and working 24h by day in his silkscreen studio closed to alps (canedicoda.com) If you know Giovanni personaly, and see how he plays and paints, you can simply understand how everything is connected to his being and how everything results as a private experience. Ottaven in this box, works with collages of field recordings taken during a trip he did in Morocco, in 2001. No kind of editing but the creation of small loops that perfectly joins with longer ones. This simple structure captures listener's immagination and leave him free of taking a visual trip, as he were watching to a documentary. (Second Sleep)

deep waving droning noises are set against vortexing echoes & swirling digital effects, derived from what could be instrumental sources or object recordings, moving the willing listener into a surrealistic subconscious dimension. This music spreads like an unconscious aural travelogue in different spatial directions (horizontal & vertical). What makes OVRO so special is her capability to create very "cinematographic" and "narrative" drone-atmospheres or landscapes, with great care for even tiniest details. (Drone Records)

The disc begins with OVRO's set, eight tracks of deep subdued electronic drones and crunchy 8-bit fractalizations with OVRO's narrative female voice reciting abstract fairy tale vocalizations that are often subtly warped by electronic processing, with feedback winds, wolf howls, and sonar blips echoing in the background. Skorpio then finishes out the disc with seven tracks of eclectic laptop constructs that range from micro-glitch rhythms and clicks and pops, to dissected vocal debris and highly detailed feedback drones, and brutal robo-beats drive looped middle eastern ethnic music samples side by side with squashed Death Metal roar.
