another brilliant cd the play well in our studio... from luxembourg, sug[r]cane work between experimental electronic music and "pop songs".. with nice samples and well done compositions.. powerful. Nice listening.(a)

02.january.03

Ralph Steinbruchel - "zwischen.raum"- cd - (domizil 2001)
one of the best microsound disc i never heard. this mini cd flow like water into my mind. 18 minutes of soft waves and silence that accomplish their frequencies slowly and fast. really really well done. as established in the numerous reviews... very good! (a)

26.november.02

v./Ultra Milkmaids - "Drone+Unease"- cd - (zeromoon 2002)
The ultra milkmaids from France meet v. from Washington DC and give birth to a mutant baby quite unlike either of its parents. Abstract, dense music that you can hum and that will swirl around in your head. (text from zeromoon great web site...). good vibe from this new label too! (a)

hypo - "kotva" - (spymania 2001)
it's always so nice! hypo do this simply lovely music... he's a really tasteful man for arrangement of cracked pop songs... it's funny.. surprising... good sounds combine, many different sources.. what you want more??? : ) more here.
great just like "jingles & singles" (Active Suspension 2001, 12" vinyl), you'll find more info here (a)

08.november.02

01.november.02

Koura - sample cd - 2002
it's a lovely way for to compose music. all the 12 tracks from this cd were recorded live, no multi-track or editing software was utilized, and it sounds really well do! this is not the usual enviromental recordings... here Koura manipulated the enviromental sources in real time... and what can i say? the result is really amazing. you can listen to it using the headphones and enjoy all the situations that Koura build... lovely. also what a great sound!(a)

27.october.02

UN CADDIE RENVERSÉ DANS L'HERBE - "Some Nenu Songs" - (oozebap 2002)
divertissement for kalimba, toys and turntable. Wonderful interplay. Interesting vocal presences. Sometimes sounding like the biologic broken clock of a peter pan-syndrome affected. Escaping and researching saudade night and day. Delicious!! nice packaged work.wonderful.(e)

19.october.02

Gabor Szabo - "the sorcerer" - (Impulse!)
it's the first time i listen to this guitar. it's really nice. it is a recording of a jazz workshop on 15-15 april 1967, but the jazz-guitar of Szabo suonds really really modern. cool!(a)

11.october.02

Lance Grabmiller - "Anthropology" - (Grinder 2002)
in the last 2\3 days we listened many times to this disc. it's really cool and everytime we listen to it we found something new! really well do music! with a cool drum-programming and sound. we found this music really cinematic... we hope that it will be used for some video\film. Inside the cover there's: "with harsh frequencies and undercurrents pulverizing onto a thick canvas, darks become intentionally dirty - anti color, anti sound - like cuts of an unclean knife into a clean white surface. there are no provocative manifestoes in these sounds. it is simply a course both helped and hindered by this age. these efforts will find the best possible continuation: a restoration of the power of reason."
check it out... it could give you the energy for to be on!! cool!(a)

Urkuma - "Tinnitus" - cd.r demo 2002
here the text wrote on the demo: "Tinnitus is the perception of sounds, ringing, hissing or any other sound when no external sound is present. Millions of people have the perception of sounds when no external sound is present: for many of them the "Tinnitus" (medical word from latin) or "Acufene" (from Greek) is the trouble so severe to alter deeply their quality of life". maybe too microsounds for my taste... but overall i enjoy his tie with his terra... south italy is really evocative...(a)

05.october.02

ENT - "Cohai" cd-r (yet to be released)
this friends from Belluno (italy) play really well music, also they are really kind. it's a duo, and this the last work they do. On this cd-r there's a really amazing piece titled "My avatar is a normal guy". it don't want to leave our cd-player! they played many instruments for this cd-r, computer, guitar, objects, drum, tenor sax, bass, double bass (?). it's really well do, and we hope that as soon it will be released for a good label.
contact them at ents@libero.it(a)

02.october.02

Ion+ - "sol" cd-r (yet to be released?)
what a beatiful music! i'm always happy when i read that something was do "without computer"! for this record (that i hope will be released as soon), Hervè Boghossian and Jurgen Heckel used guitars, detuned piano, guitar-amplifier and cable-jacks, mixing-desk, md-player. the result is really cool. some pieces of this record could be played many many time, it will never bore you. really beatiful sounds.(a)

sogar - "stengel" - cd on List
really well music. it's a nice listening of very mature electronic music. this night i'm listening it for the 2nd time, and i'm enjoying a lot, too if i'm listening to low volume. i wanted to see a live performance of Jurgen Heckel, as to enjoy at all his amazing ability to communicate with music! i think we'll sample too much this disc... there are some wonderful sounds! : ) check it out.(a)

28.september.02

hinterlandt - "studien für piano und whitenoise"
yesteday night was dedicated to jochen gutsch aka hinterlandt, and i was impressed by the variousness of style that he's able to play. there are pieces close to microsounds... pieces close to techno... and overall i felt the presence of a german nice human that live in Sidney... i don't know why... : ) However nice music, and great concept: "[...] hinterlandt will not submit to the rule or guidelines of any specific scene or industry". I think it's cool, and it is into the hinterlandt music.
jochen also wrote a cool piece for clara! project, about the image "rosa bianca" .(a)

urkuma - "xxx" - mp3 on http://www.sanfocahotel.com
stefano de santis is a newest electronic musician from Tuglie (Lecce - Italy). on he's website you'll find some free mp3s. now i'm listening to "xxx", a piece composed with some field recording of a dirge in his place and a computer. this piece is also associated to the snapshot "024" for which Urkuma wrote a text.
