Miri Kat’s debut EP brings ephemeral collages, in turns frenetic and and lyrical, in a unique brand of glitchy grindcore for a post-Internet age. Miri’s hyperactive textures are rooted in original engineering, live-coded from found sounds with open source tools, derived from open ecosystems in both sounds and software. For Establishment, she is producing an original audiovisual edition, pairing her live visual talents with the compositional ones.
The London-based artist self-described as “oriental” in origin has fast become a mainstay of the underground livecoding scene. Her day job is as an engineer of electronic musical instruments, with expertise in music tech, web technologies, hacking, creative coding, algorithmic music, immersive multimedia, and generative visuals.
Un album fatto di sottili rumori e sonorità nostalgiche e degradate questo di Gutta Percha, due fratelli (Brent & Ryan Hibbett) dall’Illinois, l’uno poli-strumentista, l’altro sound architect.
The idea for “Folds And Rhizomes” came as a result of contact that was made between the Sub Rosa label and Deleuze himself.
When it was born in the mind of italian musician Guglielmo Cherchi (aka VACVVM), ‘Peaceful Atom’ was intended to be a concept work about the Chernobyl disaster, and as a result of this some tracks are ideally connected to that topic: the title track (referring to the name of the first RBMK – Reactor Bolshoy Moshchnosty Kanalny – reactor), SCRAM (the emergency shutdown of a nuclear reactor), Lava Flow (the melted material erupted from the reactor after the explosion), Leaving Pripyat (the evacuation of the nearest city to the powerplant), Worm Wood Forest (the dead trees killed by the radiations) and Ignalina’s Sunset (Ignalina was the last nuclear powerplant to use a RBMK reactor, the same model involved in the Chernobyl disaster, which was only shut down in 2009).
I rumeni Felix Petrescu (Waka X) e Valentin Toma (Qewza), nel 2001 hanno dato vita a questo progetto sperimentale chiamato Makunouchi Bento (che è il nome di un pranzo “al sacco” giapponese).

Agnes Heginger, soprano e Karlheinz Essl, elettronico, hanno registrato poco meno di un anno fa, all’Essl Museum in Vienna, questo disco, dal titolo Out of the Blue.
Strutture abbandonate sono quelle che vengono alla mente ascoltando questa release per Test Tube di Philip Croaton, russo, così come viene in mente Tarkovsky.

The 
Matt’s (aka Craque) electronic music came to be regarded as a hybrid between edgy improv takes and deep IDM-ish grooves. Both languages come together through Matt’s electronics and form an intricate and complex maze of rhythms, beats and hypnotic grooves.
«Brian Ruskin is a Ph.D in Geology (Stratigraphy branch) and at the same time a musician and producer from Pittsburgh, USA. Science and Art very close together. The music he makes as Mental Health Consumer falls right in the middle of the Electronic genre, slightly danceable and upbeat variant, without loosing too much focus but admittedly keen on experimental ambient explorations. With his music, Brian tries to achieve that special balance between the calculated and the emotive side of the mind.
Justin Robert and Jeremy Powell are both enthusiast musicians that play live jazz for a living. Justin is a percussionist and likes to fiddle with analog synths, and Jeremy plays saxophone.
Paul Morley recently spoke to Brian Eno for a BBC arena documentary in which Eno proved that he is always good for a controversial and catchy phrase about the music industry:
A Million Billion is Ryan Smith based out of Queens, NYC. ‘Cavity Care’ is a collection of compositions that Ryan wrote in collaboration with several choreographers over the last 6 years.
I like the rhythmic feeling of this work. Rhythm is the main stream around which all the sound moves. Rich rhythmic patterns that derivate from dub, hip hop, techno and other urban languages, but instead of driving us straight to the physical emotion center, they drive us to the ‘braindance’ center.
Umbrellas in the Rain is the alias of an austrian musician from Vienna, and ‘Wieder Daheim’ – german for ‘Home Again’ – his first effort at creating something mature enough worth listening to (and worth releasing, for that matter…). Well, he did it, and with flying colours. ‘Wieder Daheim’ is a delicate collection of abstract songs that really grab one’s heart. They are experimental enough to wander in, but also emotional enough – to the point of being nostalgic – to keep us down to earth.
Bloom, Trope and Air are three applications developed by Brian Eno and the musician / software designer Peter Chilvers that brings to the iPhone the concept of generative music popularized by Eno.
In the August and September 1977, two Voyager spacecraft were launched to fly by and explore the great gaseous planets of Jupiter and Saturn.
Non c’è niente come rimettere in ordine una casa che contiene, fra l’altro, varie migliaia di dischi (CD e vinili) sparsi fra diversi mobili, per ritrovare cose che non ricordavi di avere. Orologi russi, vecchie foto in cui fai fatica a capire chi c’è e anche qualche disco che non ascoltavi da una vita.
Un po’ di sana aggressione sonora in stile post free jazz europeo non fa mai male. Dalla netlabel Insubordinations, l’ultimo lavoro del gruppo svizzero 
Nanimo nai wakusei means “empty planets” in Japanese and is an apt description for key elements of Tim Salden’s music as Osoroshisa. It reflects the width of uninhabited and lonesome worlds and how time becomes a secondary factor on an empty planet that lacks any point of reference for perceiving its continuous passage. In the broader sense, it may also refer to isolated persons living in a solar system of their own, without a way of taking notice of other worlds apart from theirs and where chains of events have gradually been replaced by a constant train of thoughts. Accordingly, the music is located between drone and dark ambient without being particularly representative of either genre and evolves slowly, with recurrent figures weaved into persistent drones and subtle changes in modulation rather than thematic variation and progression.
Let’s go back to 2006.
Sylvie Walder and entia non (James McDougall) are well-known names in the netlabel-world and beyond. Sylvie Walder released collaboration-albums with Phillip Wilkerson, Siegmar Fricke, and “_” (as Kakitsubata). entia non has released solo-works on test tube, IOD, u-cover, Resting Bell and contributions on compilations for duckbay and Slow Flow Recs.

This is one of those releases that floods me with metaphorical insights.
Nuova, nostalgica release da test tube.
Alcuni dei drones di Kalte, duo canadese, sono decisamente accattivanti. Qualcuno può dire che sono soltanto drones, ma si tratta di un genere che mi affascina e che non è così facile come sembra.

Qualche novità dalla netlabel 
Un altro lavoro di Lezrod (aka David Velez) pubblicato, come al solito da test tube. Questa volta si tratta di 10 pezzi che accompagnano altrettanti video da proiettare in un sushi bar a Las Vegas. Il tutto con il significativo titolo di fear and loathing in rio/tokyo (paura e disgusto in rio/tokyo).

Sentite un po’ questo ragazzo finlandese. In effetti è un po’ più pop di quello che metto di solito, ma mi colpisce il modo in cui passa con assoluta tranquillità dalla tonalità, al rumorismo, alla new age, al delirio.
“Retorno a la nada”, album di debutto di David Velez (aka Lezrod) e della netlabel Zymogen, pieno di ritmi obliqui su cui si muovono drone, beep, click e disturbanti scricchiolii.

Jo Jena è un gruppo sperimentale di Francoforte dalla cui produzione ho pescato questo album del 2005 che alterna ritmi e ‘ronzii’ (è questo il significato acustico di ‘drone’) in modo eccellente.
