la maison du silence

In premiera,  un album cu adevarat  deosebit in lumea triphopului. Noul proiect  de la KK nu se rezuma doar la muzica,  ci si la un comics-book, albumul reprezentand un soundtrack pntru el.E o noua interpretare a comunicarii dintre artist si ascultator si o oportunitate de a cunoaste lumea autorului prin propria lui prizma.La moment pot sa prezint doar albumul, insa cu prima aparite a cartii in format electronic o voi uploada aici.

DJ Shadow figura emblematica a hip-hop-ului instrumental, turntablist genial, compozitor si producator al celui mai de succes album Unkle ( Psyence Fiction), dupa mai multe mini-releasuri apare pe scena triphop cu un album nou. In 2010 prestarea live si discutia scurta pe care am avut-o cu el dupa concert m-a impresionat nu mai putin decat muzica pe care o cunosteam pana atunci. Un artist foarte talentat, carismatic si pozitiv.

Ceva timp in urma constient ignoram orice produs muzical aparut in Russia, Ukraina si inca cateva state estice, cu oameni frumosi insa cu o cultura muzicala moderna mediocra. Iar in timp ce eu continuam sa ignor, la ei se nasteau primele incercari de a produce trip-hop si downtempo autohton. Nu vroiam sa particip la metamorfoza, ci sa trec direct la un produs testat de timp si intarit prin experienta. "Produsul" nu a intarziat mult timp. A inceput cu Long Arm, iar apoi au urmat mai multe, surprinzand prin nivelul sunetului si beaturi tripante.Sin Smiley e noul nume in lumea mea muzciala si se pare ca singurul artist trip-hop in extrem orientul rus, din orasul Habarovsk. Un artist fascinant si modest; uman si simpatic. Muzica vie si sincera ce balanseaza intre un downtempo fin si un chillout instrumental. ps. Revenind la modestia si simpatia artistului:"Ну что ребят, с момента выхода моей первой и на данный момент последней сольной работы Streets of Night (релиз состоялся 27.06.2011, однако объявление авторской раздачи произошло 12.07.2011, только после этого и начали появляться первые комментарии) прошло чуть более пары недель, начну пожалуй со слов слушателей и артсовета.Первым человеком, оценившим новый материал был мой хороший знакомый и частично сенсей Revolted Child из проекта Pitch Razahs. Так вот, Олег сказал, что музыка ему понравилась, она очень интересная и по сравнению с предыдущим релизом показала, насколько можно вырасти за полгода, постоянно экспериментируя со звуком (ну и конечно сменив программу "звука вёдер" на более профессиональную=)). Тем не менее, как технарь он не смог не заметить недочеты в обработке звуке и общий непрофессионализм, но смог тут же ободрить, сказав, что это все решаемо в дальнейшем прогрессе. Хочу сказать, что мнение Олега остается для меня одним из важнейших до сих пор.Улыбнула цитата участника артсовета, заявившего, что я слишком далеко ушел в степь от классического бристоль-саунда, не забыв упомянуть общую унылость, монотонность, хотя в описании было указано, что это уже не такой уж и трип-хоп... Тем не менее я благодарен ему и за такое мнение, т.к. это не помешало большинству думающих своими извилинами людей скачать альбом и оценить by themself. Возможно последущие мои работы понравятся тов. рецензору больше."(c)

Dupa minunatele 3 volume de "Nightmares On Wax presents Wax On records", labelul ne bucura cu o compilatie spectaculoasa in care cu placere am surprins pe Gelka, Guts, Bonobo, Nightmares on Wax si alti creatori de sunete downtempo.Imi intind corpul, lasandu-l sa para o panza de corabie.. lenesa si nepasatoare.. insa care cu placere urmareste de sus luciul apei si corabiile plictisite.Sunetul din boxe suprima sistemele de racire si orice alte generatoare de zgomot de oficiu.Briza oceanica a acoperit tot biroul cu nisip alb si curat, iar soarele e pe care sa apuna..E vineri si sutnem gata de tripul in Ibiza.Trip in stilul Wax da Beach :)"Mixed by Nightmares on Wax. Leeds born DJ E.A.S.E aka George Evelyn aka Nightmares on Wax has out together a compilation fuelled solely by the soothing slow jam sounds of Wax da Beach. The Wax da Beach parties started when George moved to Ibiza and discovered a gap within the alternative dance scene, a need for something else – that something else was Wax da Beach. Each track on the two disk compilation was carefully chosen, embodying the very essence of Ibiza's weekly Wax da Beach party."

Album diferit de celelalte releasuri create de CBL. Pure ambient. Cu mai putine ritmuri tripante, cu un ton melancolic, imbibat cu "tristete cosmica", insa la fel de interesant si fermecator.Si din nou.. Ultimae Records."This is the densest that Gothenburg's Carbon Based Lifeforms have ever sounded. Their previous output all the way back to the Notch incarnation traded on electronic sound with a very definite pulse, whether it was beats, underlying melody or sequences. TWENTY THREE is not so much a primal u-turn but an insular indulgence in layers of ambient sound that have previously been at the base of Carbon Based Lifeforms creations, not as a sonic shroud around them. The title, TWENTYTHREE, is suggestive of everything from a numerologist’s wet dream to some in-joke or other. With this album, it no doubt refers to the width of the binary message sent out to some hopeful star cluster by the Arecibo Telescope in 1974. Unsurprisingly, the first track is entitled ARECIBO and it emulates a kind of meandering strobe of condensed sparsity and not the signals and waveforms you might expect ( This was the approach taken by Arecibo aka Lustmord on the ambient classic TRANS PLUTONIAN TRANSMISSIONS in 1994 ). Here, the hypothetical sound of the environment the signal passes through ( and not the signal itself ) is the subject. Occasional flourishes drifting in a distant part of the mix still manage to make this singular drone sound very much like Carbon Based Lifeforms as we know them. SYSTEM sheds some of the tonal weight of the 9 minute opener and bathes in random diffusions, oscillations and other fragments of audio spaghetti. SOMEWHERE IN RUSSIA opens with an airy rhythm and an indecipherable voice like a public announcement at some point of human transport. This gives way to a layered swell of slow drones and airy synths in a progression which is more acquainted with previous recorded output. The expectation here is that it will take off into a trademark Carbon Based Lifeforms sequence but it never does. TERPENE is more porous, allowing melody and even a hint of a rhythm to cut through the density to familiar sonic ground. INERTIA’s frosty layer of ambience with reverberating drips and dribbles glides like a sonic leak and a hypnotic thaw all in one. VLA ( VLA is the Radio Astronomy Observatory, in New Mexico – or in layman’s terms - that place with all the huge white satellite dishes in the desert that pops up in movies all the time ) is presented here in a 10 minute edited form. Like ARECIBO, it is one of the album’s dark moments guessing at an impervious ambience of vast space. For the adventurous soul, a one hour edit of this track was released round about the same time as the album. For this wretch’s ill gotten gains, the album provides a much more satisfying listen and the annexed release seems a little unnecessary. KENSINGTON GARDENS, an odd trajectory given the bulk of subject matter here, is based on field recordings and contrasts previous tracks with it’s terrestrial airflow, wind chimes, distant birds, traffic and even the odd hint of human offspring playing. HELD TOGETHER BY GRAVITY is the requiem, resolutely providing a tone of melancholy and bringing it all together, although whether there’s some greater message or concept contained herein is unclear, astray somewhere in the enigmatic throes of sound."

Pentru mine Thievery e muzica sub care iti trimiti trupul dimineata la lucru, in timp ce sufletul deghizat intr-un bastinas indian danseaza dansul ploii udneva prin Rocky Mountains.Am avut norocul sa fiu in inima unei prestatii live. Si cu toate ca organizarea era groazncia, trupa mi-a lasat o impresie deosebit de calda. La fel ca si celalte 5 albume aparute sub egida formatiei, albumul nou e foarte reusit. Downtempo si Dub plin de culori vii si pozitivism.

Un album minunat cu care se lanseaza Allen Lewis Scaife in "muzcia mare".Sunet original, inspirat de muzica si lumea emotionala ce insoteste sub-genul cinematografic "Spaghetti Western"(termenul datorandu-se numarului mare de westerne produse si regizate de italieni in mijlocul anilor 1960).Si apropom muzica e imbibata cu Emancipator, pe album fiind prezent si un track a lor, remixat.Enjoy It.

"Austin, Texas native Govinda drops this album just in time to give the already raucous crowds a little taste before he goes out on a couple guest appearances outside his home base. He’ll be jamming through Dallas for Manifestation Celebration in May, which makes this album even more of a must-have.Govinda starts Universal on Switch off with a nice dose of his trademark Middle Eastern down-tempo beats. As the album progresses, Govinda winds the listener in, out and through the elements of dub, down-tempo, and Middle Eastern influenced music. Govinda mixes the essential element of deep bass as he blends the melodious voices of beautiful women, chanting men, and other audio samples that give each track a unique feel.Along with great production he put into Universal on Switch, Govinda plays the violin effortlessly throughout the different tracks allowing one to fully grasp his talents. This is the first opportunity Shane O’Madden, the face behind the beats, has had to fully concerntrate on producing music. For his first five years out of college, he worked for Mattel media writing music for teeny-bopper video games. O’Madden’s conscious efforts on this one are not easily missed.Govinda is a self-proclaimed pleasure junkie, who loves anything that stimulates the body’s senses. The new album is aptly named — it’s something that turns everybody on.Go support your local Texas music by getting the album, checking out his shows, and spreading the word."(c)

"Proiectul lui Luke Vibert, producator prolific pe scena electronica si degraba schimbatoriu de pseudonime. Un album foarte distractiv, un pic trippy-hippy/hop, built from scratching and sampling. De fapt, cred ca sufera de un pic de sampling overkill, de unde senzatia permanenta de colaj, de chestie fragmentara. E foarte bine facut, cat de mult o sa va placa depinde de gust/dispozitie."(c)"2010 was an unprecedented lull in Luke Vibert releases. The UK producer also known as Wagon Christ, Amen Andrews, Plug, Spac Hand Luke, and more has released music every single year since 1993, the only exceptions being a brief pause in 1999, and the 2010 drought that just ended today with the release of the new Wagon Christ album Toomorrow.Ninja Tune recently posted a fifteen minute minimix to give us a sampling of what Toomorrow holds. Looks like it’s going to be another playful romp in the sunny fields of psychedelia and hip hop.Once again, the Wagon proves he is not subject to following the latest beat trends of the UK and the world. Beats of all shades are used to funkify carnival music and sci-fi melodies the shift between degrees of sentimentally and unbridled joy.Hear the minimix below and just try and stop yourself from smiling."

O alta formatie cu un sunet interesant de la Ultiame Records.Psy Ambient tripant si linistit (de parca ar putea fi si altfel). Mi-a placut mai putin decat albumul Asura -360, aparut sub egida aceluiasi label. Insa a lasat o impresie placuta si un loc bronat in playlistul de noapte:)"Vincent Villuis lifts the veil on a vibrant album filled with a fragile melancholy and yet refreshing intensity; as always altering and fusing light and darkness while playing with the idea of close and distant environmental resonances.His music has taken a new depth, enriched by his encounter with German composer Christoph Berg and his experience as an "artiste en residence" at Les Dominicains de Haute Alsace, an ancient cloister revamped into a music hall where the artist ambled within the walls to record echoes and atmospheres and infused them in his compositions.All along [ Perimeters ] atmospheric electronica flirts with neo-classical space music, warm downtempo grooves and basslines roll upon hypnotic pads, fragmented drums imprint beats into still and ecstatic layers of field recordings and subtly AES Dana throws in pushy and enthusiastic progressive trance bringing a driving force to the musical journey.11 stunning tracks to take us beyond the perimeters of our microcosmic life."
