    Phurpa ‎– Ya Tog Rid Pa’i Gyer

    enero 28, 2024

    Phurpa – Ya Tog Rid Pa’i Gyer
    Label: Zoharum ‎– ZOHAR 145-2
    Format: 2 × CD, Album, Limited Edition
    Country: Poland
    Released: 03 Jul 2017
    Style: Overtone Singing, Drone, Experimental

    This double album is the successor to the previous release entitled “Chöd” from nearly a year ago. The new release shows how Phurpa constantly transforms itself through their own musical exploration as well as personal spiritual development. Apart from intensive concerts, its members are famous for their long meditation trainings/sessions. This constant movement, the exploration of various techniques and discovering new inspirations in eastern culture makes Phurpa musicians more and more eager to use traditional instruments in addition to their distinctive “rgyud-skad” singing, thus enriching the already familiar formula. By emphasizing the sacred and spiritual nature of their activity, they seek to enrich it in such a way that the listener can find the novum, bearing in mind that not only the aesthetic but very spiritual world of the ancient deities of the Bön tradition is particularly important. The title, referring to the magical quest for the universe, should set the direction for the interpretation, or be merely a pretext or an invitation to this mystical journey.

    Label: Aural Hypnox ‎– AHUE09
    Format: CD, Compilation, Limited Edition
    Country: Finland
    Released: 08 Oct 2019
    Style: Abstract, Ambient, Dark Ambient, Drone

    Underworld Transmissions was Aural Hypnox label series, filmed and captured on tape in the private séances held in our subterranean lodge located in Oulu, Northern Ostrobothnia.

    The concept was to invite artists from the Helixes collective, in different combinations, to join a séance and to establish through sound and movement an elemental communication. In greater sense, apart from personal goals, these séances aimed to bring forth the seasonal currents of the lodge; the undertone of the Aural Hypnox label and the artists involved.

    Each séance was guided by a unique automatic-portal-portrait reflecting the planetary and stellar distances seen at that particular time in the lodge altar mirror-receiver.

    All audio was captured live on tape by using binaural recording technique. Films were captured during séances and also in the preceding and subsequent sessions that took place in Other Rooms and in the surrounding wilderness.

    The candles have been extinguished; transmissions completed.

    Underworld Transmissions CD edition is housed in an oversized, screen printed cardboard covers and includes a 16-page xeroxed booklet. Limited to 150 copies.

Applying his own calculated personal signature in his sonic explorations his distinctiveness comes not only by his unique approach to sound but also by his incorporation of new media practices and performing arts into his A/V work.

    Label: Old Captain ‎– OCCD35
    Format: CD, Album, Limited Edition, Reissue, Remastered
    Country: Ukraine
    Released: Dec 2017
    Style: Experimental, Ambient

    Masterpiece of experimental electronic music commemorating 30 years since its first release in 1987! “She was unique. Had a bad time in her childhood, her later years were never comfortable. But somehow she got an intensity, feeling of direction. Anything she didn’t know, she just learnt it. Awful history in the countryside, then in London, carrying the banner against injustices. I was in the studio many times with her, the single mindedness. Brilliant technician. Long time before sampling took hold, Caroline had 4-track loops, proper innovation. A bit insecure, had to be in a band (natural for the period) to begin, but when she got on her own, I honestly think her material is up with the best classical musicians, with rock’n’roll – just listen.”- by Danny Ayers, Nocturnal Emission, husband of Caroline K. Limited to 300 copies in a 4-panel matte-laminated black & white Digipak.

    Occulte ‎– Rock N’ Roll

    Label: OPN ‎– OPNCD0028
    Format: CD, Album
    Country: France
    Released: 16 Mar 2015
    Style: Ambient, Speech, Experimental

    Invoked in midsummer 2012, OCCULTE is a new French musical and esoteric experience, conducted by HAL (aka DJ Alexida) & RH (aka Rose Hreidmarr), based on improvisation, automatic writing, deep atmospheres, and modified states of consciousness. OCCULTE is inspired by stars, moons, skies, and by what hides in the woods and megalopolises’ suburbs.

    And power was given to them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.

    From Corners Unknown

    Metal and Dark Ambient Webzine: Interviews, reviews, artist conversations, and podcasts

    VOICES FROM CORNERS UNKNOWN, EP. 8 (HIEMIS, FROM HARBOUR, MICROCOSMYS, LA TORTURE DES TÉNÈBRES)

    In episode eight we discuss the engulfing and monolithic drones on Nachtstücke from dark ambient artist HIEMIS, the melodic tides of From Harbour’s crushing hardcore debut Fatigue, and the atmospheric yet utterly chaotic split between microcosmys and La Torture Des Ténèbres titled THE GODS THEMSELVES.

    We dedicate this episode to Caleb Scofield, vocalist and bassist of Cave In, Zozobra, and Old Gloom, who tragically passed away a couple of weeks ago. May he rest in forever lasting peace.

    Thank you so much for listening and your continued support. Let us know what you think about each of these releases below and please feel free to leave us some album suggestions for future episodes

    Contemplatron, Shentz ‎– His Master’s Voice

    Label: Wrotycz Records ‎– WRT 025
    Format: CD, Album
    Country: Poland
    Released: 2016
    Style: Ambient

    ‘APOCRYPHICAL SOUNDTRACK FOR THE BOOK OF ST. LEM’ – This dark ambient album is based on ‘His Master’s Voice’ (or ‘Glos Pana’ in Polish), a science fiction novel written by Stanislaw Lem, first published in 1968. It is a densely philosophical story about an effort by scientists to decode, translate and understand an extraterrestrial transmission. The novel critically approaches humanity’s intelligence and intentions in deciphering and truly comprehending a message from outer space.

    His Master’s Voice (original Polish title: Glos Pana) is a science fiction novel written by Stanislaw Lem, first published in 1968. It is a densely phliosophical first contact story about an effort by scientists to decode, translate and understand an extraterrestrial transmission. The novel critically approaches humanity’s intelligence and intentions in deciphering and truly comprehending a message from outer space.

    Human beings should accept some humility. Sometimes we face phenomena the essence of which we are unable to understand. Even if we are equipped with the most modern scientific apparatus and knowledge we are incapable of resolving whether they are accidental or intentional. Newton once said that with respect to nature we are just children playing with shells on the seashore.

    In memory of Stanislaw Lem 1921-2006
