    Lawrence English + Stephen Vitiello – Acute Inbetweens

    Label: Crónica
    Format: CD, Album
    Country: Portugal
    Released: 15 Mar 2011
    Style: Abstract, Drone, Experimental, Minimal

    Since their initial meeting in Australia during 2006, Stephen Vitiello (USA) and Lawrence English (AU) have enjoyed a long distance collaboration orbiting around the joint passion for field recordings and modular synthesis.

    Exploring the points of convergence and divergence between electricity and environment, the duet’s “Acute Inbetweens” is a collection of works derived from hazy environmental memory, imagined landscape and field recorded actualities. It’s a blurring mist of encountered spaces, recreated by means voltage controlled. Like the spatial inspiration that guides the record, “Acute Inbetweens” pace is tempered and during certain pieces borders on a sense of timelessness.

    Pieces such as “La Voix est absente” unfold with a pacing of the lauded opening Lotus flowers at Sinobazu-no-ike pond, individual elements revealing themselves in subtle arcs of sound, swelling into a rich harmonic whole. By contrast “Exposure in Relief” is a more robust and pulsing work in which micro melodies spiral into one another. “Acute Inbetweens”, sharp moments diffused in time.

    Aun – Fiat Lux

    noviembre 13, 2017

     

    Aun – Fiat Lux
    Label: Cyclic Law ‎– 76th Cycle, La Esencia ‎– LER013/2015
    Format: Vinyl, LP, Album, Limited Edition, Black with white/blue splatter
    Country: Canada
    Released: 2015
    Style: Dark Ambient, Drone, Experimental

    AUN’s music as always suggested forays into other dimensions, be it to imaginary worlds, industrial wastelands, through space and time, or via mind altered states. From the ominous dystopian artwork, of a city being drained of its energy by some mysterious black hole, to the first notes of the title track “Fiat Lux” we are once again transported on AUN’s otherworldly travelling path. Ever since the space industrial and power electronics of AUN’s previous Cyclic Law cult release “Black Pyramid”, the world has become even more sinister, but in contrast, “Fiat Lux” exudes even more of AUN’s melancholic hopefulness. The disintegrating chords and densely textured waves, anchored by a left field industrial pulse, invoke occult drug enhanced, future psychedelia. Created in part in their Montreal studio, these tracks were extensively performed live, prior to recording, and refined while on tour breaks in Montpellier, Barcelona and Tokyo. The energy of these cities is definitely at work in these recordings, which also features a French connection of experimental heavy hitters: Witxes, Frédéric D. Oberland and Philippe Petit have helped round out Dumais and Leblanc’ arsenal. FIAT LUX: Let there be light, from light will come darkness.

    The triumphant reawakening of San Francisco’s masters of behemoth ritualistic darkness…

    Within “Shrines For The Unwanted, Respite For The Cast Aside”, bone, antler and voice produce connective threads between the worlds, as guitar and percussion punctuate shifts in mood. Voices call to the spirits, and the spirits call back in return. Recorded in 2016 during four private, collective only rituals, the pieces pull the listener through the darkest and most overgrown trails of the blackest forest. Monumental and horizonless ritualistic black ambience. Vocal visitations by A.C. Way of Sutekh Hexen.

    Common Eider, King Eider is headed by Rob Fisk (ex-Deerhoof), Andee Connors (A Minor Forest, legendary aQuarius boss).

    Visions Of Darkness (In Iranian Contemporary Music)

    Label: Cold Spring ‎– CSR242CD
    Format: 2 × CD, Album, Compilation
    Country: UK
    Released: 25 Sep 2017
    Style: Dark Ambient, Drone, Experimental, Noise

    The simurgh is depicted in Iranian art as a winged creature in the shape of a bird, gigantic enough to carry off an elephant or a whale. It appears as a peacock with the head of a dog and the claws of a lion, sometimes however, also with a human face. Iranian legends consider the bird so old that it had seen the destruction of the world three times over. The simurgh learned so much by living so long that it is thought to possess the knowledge of all the ages. We hope this mythological benevolent creature could be a hope and a a guide in our dark times

    Format: CD, Album, Limited Edition
    Country: France
    Released: 16 Dec 2015
    Style: Dark Ambient, Modern Classical, Experimental

    “Le bleu est la couleur des lieux extrêmes et des degrés derniers, qui sont fermés à la vie – brouillards s’évanouissant dans l’absence, pointe des glaciers, centre des flammes qui se tardent. Il se mêle aussi aux ombres, aux crépuscules, aux lignes lointaines de l’horizon. Il vient à ce qui repose et nie ce qui s’agite. La couleur bleue possède sur le cœur une influence salutaire.” (Ernst Jünger, Le cœur aventureux / Das abenteuerliche Herz, 1929)

    Creation VI & Uhushuhu ‎– Δ

    Country:Russia
    Released: 29 Dec 2016
    Style: Ambient, Drone, Experimental

    Masters of the new wave of Russian drone ambient present their collaboration work. A narrative streaming out of the green thicket of a fictional forest as a cloud of purple fog pierced by flashes of resonating harmonies and ghostly echoes. A dense organic cobweb of field recordings, voices, acoustic instruments and electronic manipulations. A dream filled with bright colours or a psychedelic slumber with a whirling kaleidoscope of asymmetric images and visions. A sonic fantasy so pleasant to dive into together with the musicians and spend some time in the company of your own subconscious mind…
