It is with real pleasure we announce the release of our two new CD's. Two close
friends we have a real dedication to. Together, they have over 35 years of
experience in the making of music. Both of these releases comfort us that our
artistical direction is a credo we can strongly continue to work with. Music
made to
last for very a difficult and distinguished ear, not fashion or any temporary
trends.
It's time now to introduce them:
HSH13 - Lilith "Imagined Compositions for Water" CD
HSH14 - Vromb "Mémoires paramoléculaires" CD
________________________________________________
ARTIST: LILITH
TITLE: IMAGINED COMPOSITIONS FOR WATER
REF: HSH13
MEDIA: CD
PRICE: US$11,00
Imagined Compositions for Water uses a single theme to produce its effects
without
synthesizers or traditional instruments. Just as Stone (Sub Rosa, 1992) used
stones, rocks, etc; and Redwing (Sub Rosa, 1995) used air; "ICFW" uses source
audio and video recordings made exclusively from oceans-rivers-lakes-waterfalls-
etc, modified using analog & digital filters and effects, and only minimal
computer
processing. Homemade electronic controllers are used to direct many of the
effects.
This album contains recordings of two live performances, at the ARS Electronica
Festival (Austria - 1997) and at the Comandini Theatre in Cesena (Italy - 1998).
The
recordings from these performances were combined to create the final album-
document. A video footage of the performance is available on this CD as a
quicktime movie clip. The CD comes in a limited edition light blue tinted jewel
case.
LILITH With almost twenty years of electronic music composing, Scott Gibbons
isn't
exactly a newcomer. Indeed he has had an important influence on some other
Hushush recording artists such as Mick Harris' Lull and Akifumi Nakajima's Aube.
His mind challenging compositions led him to release three CD's under the famous
Belgian label Sub Rosa. Cited by many as seminal compositions, his early
nineties
releases based only on the sound of stones and wind got praises from all over
the
world. Scott and his project Lilith were invited in many occasions at several
renowned festival (ARS Electronica and the Holland Festival to name a few). The
Wire UK magazine coined him "master of the sub-bass". His list of collaborations
includes much respected artists such as Brian Ladd (Blackhouse), Mark Spybey
(DVOA), GVOON, David Wright (Not Breathing). Scott is now a regular collaborator
of the avant garde Italian theatre company, Socìetas Raffaello Sanzio and Golan
Levin's Telesymphony.

________________________________________________
ARTIST: VROMB
TITLE: MÉMOIRES PARAMOLÉCULAIRES
REF: HSH14
MEDIA: CD
PRICE: US$12,00
Mémoires paramoléculaires is Vromb's first release on a Canadian label since his
debut album Jeux de terre (1993). We at Hushush are very pleased to present you
this fine piece of electroacoustic music composed especially for us by Hugo
Girard.
Inspired by the emerging Hushush sound, Mémoires paramoléculaires is a digital
sequencing of analog sources. This is the result of a process of understanding
Heurel Gaudot's participation to Vromb's musical output. It is constructed as
the first
chapter in an electronic opera for ultratonical machines. Questioning our link
to
reality, this sci-fi musical project is a reflection on our condition as organic
machines.
As always with Hushush, much attention has been put in the making of this
release.
Vromb's Mémoires paramoléculaires is available as a limited item of 700 copies
only. The CD comes in a hand made and stamped CD sleeve as well as a luxury
colour cardboard packaging accompanied by several inserts showing drawings of
prof. H.Gaudot by Steve Deschênes.
VROMB's solid reputation as a unique artist is legendary amongst fans of minimal
electro rhythms. Based in Montréal (Québec) Vromb's Hugo Girard is nonetheless
mostly known in Europe and in the United States. Having released only but a few
discs in his whole ten years and over career's span, his many followers eagerly
await each release. With a style on his own, Girard's project may be one of the
most
original act in the North American electronic music scene.
NOTE: Mémoires paramoléculaires is pronounced in English as: May-mwar Para-
mole-aykh-lair
