OMSDVD01
V.A. "Secret Assembly" DVD-9
(PAL 4:3, 149 MINS, 2.0 dolby digital)
(OMS Records, February 2010)

A  live  document  of a gathering of  fine post industrial projects met in
Ukrainian city Zhytomyr in May 2009. Camaraderie of Swedish Deutsch Nepal,
Russian  Noises  of  Russia,  and  Ukrainian  First Human Ferro and Filivs
Macrocosmi  assembled  for  an old  school  dark ambient/death industrial/
experimental  deja  vu.  Deep isolationism, misanthropist & sociopath dark
industrial,  religious  noise mantra, and erotic mechanica crisscrossed to
form an unforgettable pattern of the night to remember.

Package - DiscBox Slider. Lim.ed. to 500.

(OMS Records, December 2005) LAST COPIES!!

This is first OMS Records CD!
"Corona Astralis" is a  consequential follow-up to  the 2000 "Motherwards"
CD and in the long run fundamentally represents development of the project,
carefully  combining  early 1998-2001 death ambient/industrial experiments
with recent ever generating solid electroacoustics, harsh electronica  and
dronesque  synth  multistructures,  all  to be  ultimately  finallized  as
integral one of the world in a grain of sand...

filivs macrocosmi "Stalker" CD
(OMS Records, December 2006)

"Stalker  is  an  elaborate  puzzle. Its  pieces are always scattered, and
Filivs Macrocosmi relies on his listener to bring the final element of the
puzzle along with him. One of Stalker's many treats is that it invites you
to get  carried away into your own thoughts, flowing with the images as it
provides  new questions to ponder... In that sense, the album is very much
like  a philosophical  poem:  a very  simple  surface covering innumerable
layers  of meaning. One extremely long ride in a cart, with clunking metal
and water-whooshing sounds, is fascinating and hypnotic. FM downplayed the
science  fiction  aspects  of  the  movie,  making  the  album  more about
philosophical  and  spiritual  concerns leaving us at the threshold of the
Room where all our most cherished desires come true. Welcome to your Self,
an alien place guarded by barbed wire..."

ELECTRICA  CAELESTIS   presents  the  third  album  of  a  Voronezh  based
one-(wo)man  project TERRA TERATOS – the trilogy’s final part “Meditations
about  secret  of my Dark Destiny�. Symphonic art of the strings, keyboard
passages,unhurried percussions plunge you into oppressive ambience of dark
dungeons,  breathe  out coldness of a spellbound forest, hand down shadowy
echoes  of  the  dark  mass in honor of forgotten Gods. “Meditations about
secret of  my Dark Destiny. Pt.2� is post-black ambient at its best. Epic,
sombre, bewitching...

CBM 005CD/SKD-002-CD
Чур "Лихо" (Chur "Lykho") CD
(Casus Belli Musica / Svarogovo Kolo Distro, December 2009)

It’s not a kind of "folk metal", it is METAL FOLK with traditional Slavonic
melodic patterns, traditional handcrafted Folk instruments, and traditional
choral  Folk  singing  without  any  Gothic  influences,  and  without  any
intentional use of some "metal standards".
Lyrics  are based on Slavonic mythology, topics of epics and folktales, and
figurativeness characteristic of our primordial tradition. "We don’t follow
that modern fashion for Paganism – we just hear the voice of our Blood, and
love our culture, trying to be worthy of our Ancestors and their GODS".
The  album’s  decorative  design  is  created  by Chur  himself and it is a
conceptual  one.  It  represents  several  pictures painted in gouache in a
traditional Ukrainian  manner  with  a sort  of  modern naive art. Stylized
design in imitation of naive popular prints with brightly-coloured pictures
express feelings and  ideas of songs perfectly. Someone will find such kind
of art rather provocative, someone will be concerned with a lack of glamour,
someone will find it just  funny, and someone will interpret a form of this
art message in the author’s way. Irrespective of any category you attribute
yourself;  our  message has already attained the aim, if you fail to remain
indifferent after acquaintance with CHUR’s album “Lykho�.

CBM 004CD/SKD-001-CD
Senmuth "Weird" CD
(Casus Belli Musica / Svarogovo Kolo Distro, November 2009)

Nine runes  are nine tracks. 67 minutes of ethno ambient stuff of a gifted
multi-instrumentalist Valeriy Senmuth (Tenochtitlan, Nenasty, Anima).
Senmuth is an author of  music for  several documentary films dedicated to
so-called  "forbidden historical topics", i.e. to all facts that cannot be
explained  by  modern  science,  and,  owe  to it, these obvious facts are
hidden.
Senmuth  is  well-known  due  to  his  musical  investigations  of Ancient
Egyptian  and  Mezo-American  civilizations, as well as due to his musical
trips  into the Far East atmosphere, so "WEIRD" album is rather unique for
Senmuth, because he pays attention to the Nordic esotericism for the first
time.
"When your  life situation becomes aggravated, you take the path and break
new ground hardly in order to dispose of your inner conflict. You begin to
have  both  a  rough time and face the force of various circumstances even
more... but in the course of it your affairs get more expressed value, and
you  begin  to grow,  develop...You  go  being full of energy, and you are
illumed  by  the Light existing from the beginning of Everything, and this
Reason  is  the  Great Secret... Passing  the  last circle, you widen your
consciousness,  uniting your opposites… And you remain only with something
you have just inscribed on your tabula rasa."

OLIVIA BLOCK & KYLE BRUCKMANN - TEEM (CD by either/OAR)
From Chicago, both of them: Olivia Block (field
recordings, piano, reed organ, editing & mixing) and Kyle Bruckmann (oboe,
English horn, suona, accordion, field recordings, editing & mixing) - the
meeting of a serious composer (Block) and an improviser (Bruckmann being
part of EGK, among other things). Its a combination that works well. Both
ends are covered well. We hear Bruckmann's wind instruments playing strange
figures, while along we have the more rigid organization of Block's field
recordings and organ parts, as well as the rumble and tumble of acoustic
objects. They bump and collide into eachother, attract eachother, and then
move away from eachother. Four parts were recorded over a period of five
years, from nervous hectic of part three to the quiet, introspective fourth
part. Demanding music here, which requires your full attention. This is not
music which allows you to go and do other things, but in these thirty seven
something minutes you need to stay with it, and focus. Its only then when it
unfolds its beauty. After
that you may tired, but perhaps also, like me, utterly pleased. An excellent
collaboration. (FdW)

RAY BRASSIER, JEAN-LUC GUIONNET, SEIJIRO MURAYAMA, MATTIN IDIOMS AND IDIOTS
(CD & Booklet by w.m.o/recordlabel)
Improvisation recorded at the NPAI festival Nirot in 2008 would be to begin
to locate something in what we understand, however here is the difficultly,
whether you like it or not if you've blithely accepted this "review" so far
then I can immediately point to you and shout - "Kant".  And the shadow of
François Laruelle crosses the landscape. (The full text can be downloaded @
the address) Non- philosophy, correlationism . and the subject of
"improvisation" makes a review in any meaningful sense impossible- as
impossible as "improvisation". The best task of such artists where the
ontologies are ripe is to ignore all of this and behave like suicide
bombers, which is precisely what they might be doing metaphorically. It
certainly at times seems both dangerous  potentially to self or audience -
self and audience and a criminal act, a crime against certain ideas, as
fundamental as time and space, that's your Kantian assumption. What is
music, art, philosophy without time and space?  As
an
idiots guide then, me being the idiot, a world view which is such is as holy
as the Koran, there is a fundamentalism everywhere which this release not
only documents but also attempts to overcome, in such a way as failure
itself is like a failed suicide bombing, a success of sorts to some, but
only a success if dismissed not by ignorance, a primitive ignorance is
immediately at one with improvised performances, but  the shocking reality
of only thinking at second hand through a dead german philosophers head. OK
in a "line" in a sentence, anyone interested in - now I was going to say
music, but I'm even afraid I'm unable to finish this line - why? Deleuze -
"With the Kantian transformation .. time becomes straight .. "  of .or.. in
a more general problematic which includes both Deleuze and Kant - doesn't
"this kind of" improvisation eschew or face up to "decision" which all
previous (before Laruelle?) philosophy was blind to? (jliat)

LUGANO FELL - SLICE REPAIR (CD by Baskaru)
So far I reviewed three releases by James Taylor, better known as one half
of Swayzak (a tech house duo whose music I don't know), but in his new,
solo, guise Lugano Fell. I really liked his first two releases, but then the
3" (reviewed in Vital Weekly 670) didn't do much for me. I noted then that I
hoped his Baskaru CD would be better. Still it some water has passed under
the bridge before that one was released but here it is. The good thing is:
its a great release. But that's hardly a surprise since it was compiled from
his two previous CDR releases. And perhaps is the downside, well, at least
for me, since I knew these already. Imagine shoegaze music and imagine
glitch music. Combine those two, quite odd, ends and there you'll find
Lugano Fell. He uses a whole bunch of software and instruments, all listed
on the cover, and creates some great music. Lots of acoustic guitar, all
heavily chopped up, with lots of plug ins flying about. Its however not a
soft album, with careful
doodling, but most of the time quite loud and present. Very much along the
lines of his first release, rather than his second, me thinks. Like said,
this is not the real big surprise, for me that is but let's hope Lugano Fell
now reaches a bigger audience, and that it something he deserves. (FdW)

TOBIAS REBER - BACKUP AURA (CD by Hyperfunction)
A most curious record, but one Tobias Reber, of whom I never heard. No
information on the press blurb, but from his website I learned that he was
born in 1983 and started as a guitar player, and now calls himself a laptop
musician. He is also a member of Centrozoon (of which I don't have good
memories). 'Backup Aura' is his debut album with six compositions 'that have
their conceptual home on the continuum of intuitive vs algorithmic
composition', which may mean that its partly along the lines of
improvisation and partly composed. I must admit I have no idea what to make
of this. There are lots of electronics to be found on this record and also
drum sounds. I may not sure wether these are 'live' drums, or out of a box.
The drum sounds are fed through a bunch of computer music patches. That's
what this album is about. Its not bad by any means, but I must say it also
left me a bit untouched. I liked the pieces best that dealt with electronics
and less those which had a lot of rhythm
(more post rock then techno based, I should add, so you have some clue about
them), which perhaps sounded all a bit too easy for me. Not a bad record,
but not exactly something that I fell for either. (FdW)

MARC BARRECA - SUBTERRANE (CD by Palace Of Light)
K. LEIMER - DEGRADED CERTAINTIES (CD by Palace Of Light)
GREGORY TAYLOR - DUA_BELAS (CD by Palace Of Light)
Three new releases from the established label artists on Palace Of Light.
The first is Marc Barreca, which is perhaps the one who had the longest gap
in releases. His previous releases, at least the ones I remember, are all
from the early 80s. I am not sure if there were any later on, but here he
returns with new work. This sees him working with computer rather than 'old
fashioned' synthesizers. He uses large chunks of field recordings, as well
as accordion and electronic instruments, which are all processed on the
computer and transformed into some great, refined ambient music. The fourth
world ambient music which I seem to recall as an overall interest of
Barreca, seems no longer present here. Its replaced in favor of more
abstract ambient music, with its long stretched sounds, vague rumbling of
percussive sounds and such like. Oddly enough it seems both fresh and new,
while yet also a natural progression of his older work. An excellent come
back album. Let's hope his older work
will be re-issued on CD also.
Labelowner K. Leimer already made his return some time ago (see Vital Weekly
533) and here has his fourth album since then and his ninth since he started
in the late seventies. For his new album, Leimer takes credit for 'digital
synthesis and signal processing', while receiving help from Gregory Taylor
on 'additional processing' and Taylor Deupree on 'additional voices, post
production, edit, mix and mastering' (which he also did for the Barecca
album). This is an album of ambient music in capital ambient letters,
AMBIENT. Unlike Barreca whose multi layered ambient music is the result of
many different sounds, Leimer seeks things in a multitude of similar sound
sources, with minor differences among them and makes various layers
incorporating these sounds. Six tracks, all around eleven/twelve minutes in
length, which might be a bit much if you take it all in like a normal
person. However, I think, this is music that is best enjoyed if you put it
on repeat for a day or two (I readily
admit that I didn't do this, if only I had the time!) at a considerable low
volume. Then I assume the ambient music will really start to penetrate your
environment in a really nice way. That's what ambient music should do. This
is classical ambient music, in the most purest sense of the word.
At the other side of the ambient spectrum we find Gregory Taylor, with his
second album for Palace Of Light (see also Vital Weekly 573). He works with
pieces of software as developed by Cycling74. The title is Indonesian for
'The Twelve', and somehow I think there is some connecting thematic approach
to this, using Indonesian instruments, but that's not entirely clear from
the press text, the cover or the music (unlike that previous release on
Palace Of Light). As said this is the experimental end of ambient music, an
electro-acoustic approach that is woven throughout these pieces. The weather
conditions are exactly the same as when I wrote about 'Amalgan:
Aluminium/Hydrogen': nice sunny weather, doors open, early evening, bird
calls, the occasional car passing and the whole thing does remind me of
being in an exotic place. Related to his previous work, I can't say that
there is a lot of difference to be spotted, it has the same overall beauty
and is more linked to the current state
of microsound, with small, repeating glitches, deep bass hum, and gentle
lightness. A nice one, again, and, also again, nothing new under the evening
sun. (FdW)

KONRAD BECKER - GRAND PIANO CLASSICS (2CD by Klanggalerie)
If you don't know Konrad Becker, you should be ashamed of yourself. Well,
no, perhaps, not, but his Monoton records from the early 80s are simply the
best in the minimalist electronics. In recent years they have all been
re-issued by Canada's Oral label, and, as far as I know, still in print. If
you want Pan Sonic but then fifteen years earlier, this is the place to be.
I didn't know that Becker also recorded piano music, let alone released any,
but this omission is now taken care of by Austria's Klanggalerie label.
These pieces were recorded for various performance pieces in 1982-1984 and
are for four pianos, along with three unpublished pieces from 2002, for
digital grand pianos. Its hard to believe wether these old pieces are played
in real time, or through some form of tapeloops - although the press text
reads about eight hands, so let's assume they were played in real time. It
would be too easy to make that very obvious reference to the work of
Charlemagne Palestine or early
Steve Reich. Although Becker's work is very minimal, with repeating phrases
at different intervals all the time, there is one difference: the sustain
pedal is hardly used. Especially the two long pieces, 'Parzival Overture'
and 'Danse Diable', remind me of the work of Simeon Ten Holt, the Dutch
composer of piano works which are long (compared to his work, these Becker
pieces are ultra short). Especially 'Parzival Overture' is a great piece,
which comes across more clearer and more refined than 'Danse Diable', which
is clearly a spooky, haunted piece of music. Then there are two shorter
pieces from the 80s, of which 'Noctariations' sounds very spooky. In the
lower region various clusters are played, very fast, but very soft. Here
Becker reaches a bit of unique way of approaching the piano, me thinks. In
'Etude' (1982), its hard to believe there are no electronics used, but its a
fine piece, along the lines of 'Noctariations'. The digital pieces I don't
get. He adds a rhythm machine to
the digital grand pianos, and they sound outright boring. As a bonus they
are nice, perhaps. You might be inclined to think, oh that's possible too,
but it doesn't necessarily lead to great music. So, in short, there is about
ten minutes here which can be ignored (I don't understand why they aren't
all on the second disc at the end), but the works from 1982-1984 are great,
perhaps just as great as his Monoton records, although in an entirely
different modus operandi. (FdW)

ALEXANDER BERNE - COMPOSED AND PERFORMED BY (3CD by Innova)
HARLEY GABER - I SAW MY MOTHER ASCENDING MT. FUJI (CD by Innova)
PSYCHOANGELO - PANAUROMNI (CD by Innova)
Sometimes press blurbs (especially from the USA) have the remark 'file
under'. It means you can find this in your record store filed under a
particular genre, or, in my case, I can forward it to a reviewer known to
like such music. If it says 'file under new age', I scratch my head and
think, 'now what was the name of our reviewer of new age?", and then
realizing that Vital Weekly hates new age. So imagine my 'luck' when I
opened the package of three CDs by Alexander Berne, file under new age! He
plays saxophones, flute, the sadukini, the tridoulaphone and a reeded slide
trumpet. Luckily 'itunes' recognizes the music as 'unclassifiable'. The
first CD is 'The Soprano Saxophone Choir', which, as the title suggests, is
for multiple soprano saxophones, so it combines my least favorite music with
my least favorite instrument, but actually its not bad. Berne plays some
darker tunes, which are quite alright and there are even bits with some sort
of computerized processing, such as the short
'Reaches'. 'The Shaduk' is performed on a variety of world instruments, 'the
simple open-holed flute/reed hybrid'. This one leans, as far as I'm
concerned, too much to the world of new age, with its sustained overtone
singing like sounds, and vaguely world/ethnic influences. That returns on
the third CD 'The Abandoned Orchestra', now with addition of tribalesque
percussion. Both of these CDs have their moments, but throughout isn't well
spend on me.
Composer Harley Gaber I never heard of, but he's been around since the 60s
until 1978 when he stopped composing and started in visual arts. This
particular work is a new one, but it combines two older pieces, 'Michi' for
solo violin and Chimyaku for solo alto flute. This new work was made as a
way of dealing with some untimely deaths in his family. Its a work of great
silence and peace. I don't know what the tape part is in this work 'for
tape, processed violin and alto flute', but it seems he used a particular
hissy recording from 1973 of 'Michi', and now, through computer means, this
hiss leads up to some very spooky and ghostly sounds. On the surface we have
the sustained notes of the violin and flute. A very meditative piece of
music, which works for me, much better than any new age diaree. Its a modern
classical work, with those spontaneous eruptions that aren't my cup of tea,
but they are embedded in these gentle atmospheric, ghostly sounds, making an
excellent work. Something
for late at night.
Innova, being a serious label of serious composers as we have just seen in
the four previous releases, at times releases music that is experimental and
electronic, and even sometimes have links to popmusic. Take Psychoangelo for
instance, a duo of Dr. Glen Whitehead (trumpets, computer, effects
processing) and Dr. Michael Theodore (computer, guitar, percussion) from
Colorado Springs. Their music is along the lines of improvisation, but with
each a computer under their arm, its also quite an electronic work. I
understand they record large portions of improvisations which are then
edited, layered and combined together. I have two problems with this
release: each piece seems to be dominated by the trumpet, which is fed
through an awful lot of reverb and delay. This blurs whatever else is going
on and that's a pity. The best piece, out of six, is the closing 'Phosphorus
Mas Frio', which is fierce drone piece, like processed church organ blearing
their way. Now that isn't enough to make a
great CD, I know. The other five surely have their moments, but a radical
remixing would be in place and see what it sounds like with a slightly less
dominant trumpet and its side effects. (FdW)

STEVE BARSOTTI & ERIC LEONARDSON - RAREBIT (CD by Mimeomeme)
STEVE BARSOTTI - ALONG THESE LINES (CDR by Mimeomeme)
SEATTLE PHONOGRAPHERS UNION (CD by Mimeomeme)
Three new releases on Mimeomeme, who 'disseminates unusual sound art made by
an eclectic collective of artists involved in phonography, no- and low
fidelity recordings, raw digital data, plunderphonics' and more such like.
The first is by Steve Barsotti and Eric Leonardson. Barsotti plays a 'roto
rod, spring frame' and Leonardson a 'springboard', both are home made
instruments of wood and tires attached with springs, rubber bands, combs,
all of that being amplified. They play improvised music with these
instruments. Two pieces are multi track recordings, the seven others
straight forward live recordings. I like the idea behind it more than the
actual execution of the recordings. Th pieces are all quite long and just
seem unedited bits of playing these two instruments.

Perhaps of more interest then is a solo CD by Barsotti, aptly called 'Along
These Lines', which I guess we should see as something along these lines of
'Rarebit'. There is a lot more happening here than on his release with
Leonardson. There is the 'invented' instruments but also field recordings
and electronics. This makes the music quite lively. It seems to me that the
invented instruments are fed through electronics, which makes a varied
outcome: it bounces between the audible and inaudible, music, sound, signal,
noise, background and foreground (I am quoting the cover!). It opens with
the almost inaudible 'boundaries' and closes with the short, noise outburst
of 'bypass'. The best piece, although at twenty four minutes also a bit
long, would be 'Terraces', with children pieces, looped acoustic sounds
cooking up a lively piece. A fourth pieces, 'Bridges' seems constructed from
entirely electronic sounds. What lacks in 'Rarebit', variation, is well made
up here, as far as I'm
concerned this should have been the major work.
The Seattle Phonographers Union is a group of people who improvise live with
unprocessed field recordings. A floating membership, but we recognize such
names as Dale Lloyd (who co-released this on his and/OAR label), Steve
Peters, Christopher DeLaurenti, Steve Barsotti but also people I never heard
of, such as Perri Lnch, Rob Millis, Toby Paddock, Heather Perkins and more.
The deal is that people bring field recordings to the concert venue and play
them, from a laptop, mini disc or such like, while listening what the others
bring to the table, and make a sonic construction out of that. I must say I
really like the idea behind that. There are five unedited bits from live
concerts, between nine and twenty minutes. The problem might be a bit with
this, that it perhaps all sounds a like. There is a steady stream of sounds
of sounds fading in and out and sometimes they are familiar (rain, wind,
human labor, birds, talking) and sometimes harder to pin down, but its all a
bit too much
presented as a flow. A sudden break, a swift change, or maybe some sort of
effects, even it be only a loop of a sound, would have a made a small but
interesting difference and make a more musical piece, but perhaps that is
not the intention of The Seattle Phonographers Union. Now, don't get me
wrong, if field recordings are your cup of tea, and its mine, then this is a
great work. You can tune into the world around you, lie back and enjoy this
continuous stream of sound. Quite nice. (FdW)

ORIANA CIVILE & MAURIZIO CURCIO - ARIE DI SICILIA (CD by On Air)
By now we are used to get music that absolutely doesn't fit these pages,
mostly from the world of popmusic. The Polish hard rock CDs never were even
considered for review, but found a good home with a young friend of mine.
The Norwegian classical music wait for a home. But then we get this release
by vocalist Oriana Civile and bass player/electronica expert Maurizio
Curcio. They have at their hands a songbook of Sicilian folk songs which
they perform with no doubt great care. Actually its not bad, but very sweet
for me. I think I prefer Berio's 'Folk Songs' (to show I am not entirely
impartial to this) over this CD, or the new folk tunes of Static Caravan.
Civile's voice is beautiful, and what these songs are about I have no idea,
no doubt love, death, war, and such life experiences, but its nothing for me
or Vital Weekly, me thinks. (FdW)

FLIMMER - SINGING (CD by A Tree In A Field)
A Tree in a Field Records is a small independent label from Basel. This is
also the hometown of Flimmer. The 21 minutes of their mini-cd are
distributed over 16 very powerful tracks. With Flimmer we are in the company
of a hardcore, trashmetal band, or something like that. A trio to be more
precise of two basses plus drums and vocals. And that is it. The band has a
history of some 10 years playing punk, grindcore, new wave, etc. The label
compiled a dvd of the history of the band, but this has not been send to me.
So I concentrate on the musical explosions. First I have to say that I am
not very familiar with this kind of music. So it is beyond my knowledge
judging about their originality, etc. But from what I know they use many of
the stylistic aspects of this kind of music. However, they have there own
signature and ideas. In one of the tracks they seem to interpret some
classical music. Throughout they do their job very convincing, with lots of
'Sturm und Drang'. (DM)

UBEBOET - ARCHIVAL (LP by Moving Furniture Records)
At first I thought Moving Furniture Records changed their presentation for
their CDR releases, but it turns out they switched format, for the first
time, but submitted a CDR for review. A brave decision to go to LP, which I
hope pays for them, in the form of a limited LP release, 200 copies of M.A.
Tolosa's Ubeboet project. Tolosa, also known as the man behind the Con-V
label and a lover of all things field recordings and electronics. Three from
his archive (I assume at least). I can't read the titles on the cover, but
the long piece on side is mostly a dark affair, in which it is hard to
recognize any sort of field recording, but things are quite dark and very
drone based. Maybe some heavily processed wind and rain sounds at work here?
A highly minimal piece of music that uses the longitude to fully unfold
itself. On side B we find two pieces. The first seems to me a musical piece,
or a piece that uses some musical instruments, maybe guitars and voices?
Moving Furniture refers to
the
influence of Popol Vuh and it might be that they had this track in mind when
thinking of that reference. The ghostly, whispering, layered voices move
weightlessly through space. Rain is what we recognize in the third piece,
again embedded in some choir of heavenly voices. Here too things are
relatively more musical than on your average release with field recordings,
and that's great, since it sets Ubeboet apart from his peers, and he does
something really beautiful on this release. (FdW)

REGULAR RULES - JEEZ CLUSTERS JOYS (CD by Triple Bath)
MIKE JOHNSTON & MIKE GILMARE & MIKE KHOURY & KIRK LUCAS - IMPERMANENCE ( CD
by Triple Bath)
Regular Rules is a duo of Gilles Mortiaux from Brussels, Belgium and Ilan
Manouach from Athens, Greece. The are a free-jazz hardcore unit, assisted on
stage by numerous others. Loud and noisy improvisations is their business.
Mortiaux provides thick layers of guitar noise and Manouach plays
saxophones. Both add effects and samples. Their thick and massive sound
improvisations worked well for me. Their agressive playing on guitar and
saxes is combined very effectively with extreme noisy sound effects or
contrasting samples like in the beginning of the opening track (pieces have
no titles).Both musicians give all of their unbound power and creativity in
these six improvisations. In track 5 both players take their own route in
the first part of the improvisation. Later on they start to built something
together. The highlight of the album for me is track 4. It is almost a song.
But very bizarre. Yes, Mortiaux and Manouach make a strong statement of
maniacal over the top soundsculpting.
Resulting in some very powerful collages. 'Impermanence' is the second
release of Mike Johnston (double bass, inanga, sho, shakuhachi, wood flutes,
african bells, shenhai), Mike Gilmore (vibraphone, cheng, saz, bone guitar,
kalimba, bowed percussion, steel drums, marimba), Mike Khoury (violin,
percussion) and Kirk Lucas (violoncello, guitar, banjo, zither, tamboura,
gong, kalimba). In 2007 Triple Bath released the debut of this quartet 'The
Hidden'. The instruments these musicians play may give you a hint of what to
expect here. Improvised music first all, but very eastern-flavoured. Not
only because of the exotic instruments. But also because of the lines along
which the music develops. They even do their best to play them an eastern
touch. The closing piece 'Still Life' for example, sounds very chinese in
the beginning. Gradually it turns into free impovised music, still using
however chinese motives. 'Maghrebi' by Ahmed Abdul Malik has a nice
'swinging' arabic groove. With 'When
there is no sun', composed by Sun Ra, this are the only two pieces not
composed by themselves. All in all, this quartet makes a very thoughtful and
respectful blend of world music and western improvisation. In a very pure
and authentic way. The music dwells and meanders like a majestic river
through a diversity of landscape. It definitely fills your mind and body
with good spirits. (DM)

$. 99 DREAMS - 2010 (DOWNLOAD by Ninetyninecentdreams)
$. 99 DREAMS- $. 99 DREAMS (LP by  Ninetyninecentdreams)
Some time ago we discussed on earlier work of this remarkable duo, 'Winning
on all fronts'. They are in business since 2007. Formed in Brooklyn by
drummer Matt Crane and saxophonist and synth player Adam Diller. They
created there own little musical corner by combining hip hop, free jazz and
electronics, as they explain in their bio. But there is happening more if
you ask me. Just listen to their new releases. '99 Dreams' is released on
vinyl. '2010' is available as a download. The opening track of '2010',
'W2xxic' is a dark, brewing sound work. Other pieces like 'int/aadfg' are
jazzy pieces of saxophone and electronics. 'Wpint' belongs to another
category of pieces. It is dominated by Sun Ra-like percussion supplemented
by sparse electronics. 'Qn/ot' has a strong melodic line that is repeated
endlessly, spreading around an archaic and exotic feel. All pieces carry
strange titles that seem nothing more then random combinations of vocals.
The 16 tracks on '2010' were recorded on
several occasions in the last three years, in studios, bedrooms, etc. With
minimal means they realize a maximum of possibilities. There is some strange
magic in this music. This because of the carefully designed sounds from
analog synths, saxes, etc. Maybe it is because of the analog synths that the
music often recalls new wave music from the 80s. Remember Jeff and Jane
Hudson? Also there is an element that binds Silver Apples, Suicide and this
duo together. The music has a certain roughness. They use no unnecessary
make up. The drum style remains very simple and stripped down. This
self-conscious duo excels in a fascinating 'primitivism'. (DM)

WIREWALL< - TERMINAL MAN (CDR by Cohort Records)
One of the project of John Gore, head cohort of Cohort Records, is
>wirewall<, which was mentioned in Vital Weekly when discussing some of his
other work, as Kirchenkampf or The Oratory Of Divine Love. I think we should
regard >wirewall< as his noise project, although on the other hand we could
also see this as the extended, extra part of his other work. It seems to me
that here too Gore works with radio waves, also feeds them through a bunch
of synthesizers, adds a few sound effects, but whereas in his other works
the outcome would be droney, atmospheric music, the outcome for >wirewall<
is noise. Piercing sounds, but not in an unpleasant way and Gore allows the
listener to hear details and mixes together several layers in a clever way.
It has a sort of vibrant, improvised feel to it. Maybe as a whole, its all a
bit much, but throughout I thought this was quite alright, when served in a
smaller dose. (FdW)

CALIKA - BLOOD EMBRACE (CDR by Audiobulb)
The third album by Simon Kealoha, also known as Calika comes as a CDR,
unlike its two predecessors. What hasn't changed is his love of "jazz, hip
hop, post rock, found sounds, degraded loops and twisted beats", which he
seems to be using all to create his music. What's different, I suppose, is
the fact that things sound a bit more raw, unfinished than before. Calika
creates some great IDM music, but isn't too shy to move into more ambient
textures, and have a piece with some guitar sounds, modest computer
processing and simply watch what is happening. Calika makes a pretty varied
disc of bouncing rhythm pieces, melodic ambient pieces and lovely sunny
pieces. This release, along with a cold soft drink, reading a book in a
sunny garden, is just the perfect way to spend afternoon (if only I had a
garden!). (FdW)

O. MELBY - MARSIPAN (CDR by Amboltue Records)
Old fresh music of an unknown musician. I have never heard about O. Melby
and at the world wide web I couldn't find any information about this
interesting musician. Two old concerts are released  at the Norwegian label
Ambolthue Records. The first concert is called "Sinus Input" is recorded in
2005 and concert is a long slowly developing composition of electronic
sounds. Dark sounds in an ambient sphere are the beginning. High pitched
soundwaves crack the quiet drones alternating with more similar sounds. He
leads the listener in different moods with his music. I think the track is
too long or more variety in deeper breaks is needed to keep the attention.
Completely different is the second concert on this CD-R. " LA3 (#1-4) is
recorded live at Lavfidelisk Aften 3 in 2001 and is previously released at
Brumm as a limited edition of 14. The track starts with electronic
industrial-like rhythms and stops suddenly with a sound of a toy. O. Melby
adds samples to this break and continues
with
funny breaks, sounds, noises and I guess live played beats. After a while
the industrial beats starts again and the crowd can get loose in his pulsing
beats, noises and breaks. Great track! (JKH)

NOT HALF & THE THERAPIST & FEVER SPOOR - SOME MEN NEVER DIE
(CDR by Anima Mal Nata)
NOT HALF & THE THERAPIST & FEVER SPOOR - SOME MEN NEVER LIVE (CDR by Anima
Mal Nata)
NOT HALF & THE THERAPIST & FEVER SPOOR - WHERE IS EVERYONE? (CDR by Anima
Mal Nata)
Marcel Herms produces a lot of music, drawings and paintings for a long long
time. Now his label Anima Mal Nata releases a trilogy  with Not Half and The
Therapist. Not Half is a project of the Canadian musician Allen Conroy
started in 1983 and since 1986 he releases music created with all kind of
stuff, like garbage, toys, tapes, samplers, computer and more. Fever Spoor
(Marcel Herms) and Not Half send recordings to Bob ter Hofte (The
Therapist). With a lot of material on 5 CDRs he created three albums and
added also sounds of his own.
'Some Men Never Die' starts and ends with harsh noise created by electronics
and pulsing waves. The compositions are associative, fast, rough and
restless. Not special and innovative, but I like this album, because of
unity between the eight compositions.

The second part of the trilogy 'Some Men Never Live',  concrete electronic
and synthesizer sounds and noise are intended to be integrated. Noisy
compositions with many layers, structures, rhythm and a-rhythm and sound of
smashing metal. The base of the noise is really strong, but the clear
synthesizer disturbs the dirty sound. Jasmijn adds in tracks five and seven
acoustic pianoplay. In this compositions the mix between noise and this
concrete sound of the piano fit really well, because the sound of the piano
is a layer as well.
The last part 'Where Is Everyone?' starts really great, with samples of a
toy-guitar and talking words and mix nice into harsh noise. The last CDR is
filled with five long tracks, so the sounds have more time and possibility
to blend into each other. The variety of sounds is great: ranging from an
old printer, to chanting of monks and radio sounds. The compositions are
considered and therefore strong.
The concept of three musicians creating a trilogy is interesting and could
be more powerful, if there was more concentration to the compositions and
structure of the trilogy. (JKH)

MARC NAMBLARD - GISEMENTS (1) (3"CDR by Kaon)
Just what 'prises de sons' means I don't know, but my best guess would be
that that it means gathering of sounds, which was done by Cedric Peyronnet
and Marc Namblard. He has a CD 'Chants Of Frozen Lakes' (reviewed in Vital
Weekly 624), and then was never heard of again, by me that is. Here the two
men recorded sounds from Vallee du Taurion, and Namblard is responsible for
editing the sounds into a piece of music. He does that with great care and
lots of help from the computer. The frequencies are all pushed up to the
limit, and all sorts of plug-ins are used to make a lively piece of
soundscaping. Namblard uses the tactic of collage, which is means there are
sudden shifts and changes in the material, which add a great vibrant thing
to the music. At times we recognize the field recordings, water, insects,
rain, and at other times there is a lot to guess about it. A great, refined
piece of music, highly dramatic and very lively. Excellent. (FdW)

CARLOS VILLENA - OSCIL.LACIONS EN LA PENOMBRA DE LES TAQUES SOLARS (3"CDR by
Ephre Imprint)
More music by Carlos Villena (see also Vital Weekly 730 and 733), who works
under his own name and runs the Mantricum label. This is the first time we
hear his music solo. The field recordings he has captured have a solar
origin, although I'm not sure how they were captured. But they are fed into
the audio mixer and mixed together. Its all pretty noise oriented but in a
sort of fine way. Villena uses the collage form, rather than the endless
noise attack, to create various sections that fade into eachother. For all
we know this could be any sort of field recording, even street sounds. An
effective work however of drone/noise/collage sound which stays away from
the careful crackling work of microsound. Nature is noise enough, as someone
once remarked, and Villena knows how to twist that into a fine piece of
noise of nature. (FdW)

GNAWED/ICE VOLT - INSIDES MUSIC LESSON 69 (cassette by Spit & Cuss)
YOSHIHIRO KIKUCHI - TEXT'S ABSENCE OPTICAL GLOOM AUDIBLE LIGHTS (C40
cassette by Fragment)
Gnawed (Grant Richardson) drawn out static and electronic artefacts -  Ice
Volt (Bryce Beverlin II ) electronic organic gremlin sounds & processed
vocals - clanking harsh noise which morphs in to  drone didgeridoo - and
back again - both pieces narrate a journey of some sorts - even in the
latter of just movement accompanied by musical trolls  - more a goth than
gothic masterpiece, and in the former a long and slow destructive crash.
Both share an unreality which is not to my taste, if you can get an
'inkling' about my difficulty here, 'boom boom'... Yoshihiro Kikuchi
utilizes electronic cut ups and processed percussion, alarms and samples  -
the beauty of this work is that the micro cut up electronics works
wonderfully well with this medium, the  sounds appear out of the tape like
fragments of broken glass, again working within and with the constraints of
the medium, without recourse to Tolkienography a work which resembles
analytic cubism, yet to encompass the readymade reality of
the synthetic. (jliat)

Due to new commitments soon demanding our already limited time and
resources, we have decided to reduce the mailorder catalog to bare
essentials. This calls for a CLEARANCE!

Currently we offer about 1200 titles to you on the ultimate meltdown
prices. Many items are down to one or two copies and as said there will
be no restocks. As a bonus we will add surprise items to all orders
whenever possible -- surplus copies, one-off items, promos, oddities we
forgot to list etc.

What's more, some new stuff keeps on creeping in every now and then,
here's one:

Emme Ya : Beyond The Secret Flame CD - 11.07EUR
http://www.someplaceelse.net/shop/product_info.php?products_id=1667

Emme Ya’s “Beyond The Secret Flame” is a voyage to inner transcendence
beyond nothingness, based on the three chapters of Liber Al Vel Legis
sub figura CCXX, in which is revealed through diverse audial soundcapes
and atmospheres, the revelations of Aiwass in Cairo, Egypt. when
dictating the Book of law. The three chapters converge in its own
enigmatic message dressed through codified phrases and symbolic
structures. The whole album is a dedication not to the Scribe (Aleister
Crowley) but, to a such vast entity known as Aiwass-Shaitan and the
totality of experience beyond the complex Current 93 and the Thelemic
trinity.Ritual ambient soundscapes combined with some tribal influences
and completed by spoken words from Crowley's The Book of the Law.

Sample:

Tracklist:
1 - The Secret Flame (The dance of Nuit)
2 - The Coiled Serpent (The invisible light of Hadit)
3 - The Throne of Power (The mask of Heru-Ra-Ha)

Diophantine Discs is pleased to announce the release of a new LP...
Brian Lavelle - Magdalena.

"Magdalena" is Brian Lavelle's first LP release, and it was composed
specifically for that format. Since our release of his "Fallen Are The Domes Of
Green Amber" CD over three years ago, Brian's experimental and drone recordings
have continued to receive extensive attention and support from throughout the
experimental music scene. Composed entirely from processed guitar, the
shimmering and mesmerizing sounds of "Magdalena" take the listener on a unique
journey full of mystery and beauty. The music manages to be both intense and
powerful, while maintaining a certain calm and contemplative feel. The four
tracks (including introductory and closing pieces) fit together perfectly to
make a wonderful - and memorable - listen over the two sides.

Recording since 1990, Brian Lavelle's work has covered a large cross-section of
experimental music. His recordings have been released on labels such as Afe,
Bake, EE Tapes, Freek, taâlem, Audiofile Tapes, Microwave, Sonic Oyster,
Lefthand Pressings, and Apollolaan. He has collaborated extensively with Richard
Youngs and is a member of Space Weather (with Alistair Crosbie and Andrew Paine)
and Fougou (with Matthew Shaw). Brian also operates the Dust, Unsettled label on
which a number of his releases have also appeared.

"Magdalena" is pressed on green marbled vinyl and is being released in an
edition of 300 copies. It is packaged in an offset and letterpress printed
jacket with a large colour photograph mounted to the cover.

$21 ppd USA / $24 ppd Canada / $30 ppd World
