Live 2005

Kryptogen Rundfunk - Live 2005 (Zhelezobeton)


Following multiple limited edition split and collaborative releases, this is Kryptogen Rundfunk's first solo release since his CD album on Mechanoise Labs back in 2004. The two live recordings presented here were made during the "Noise vs Glamour" festival in 2005 in St. Petersburg and Moscow, and later reworked in a home studio. Expect a masterful mix of analogue Rokton synth, computer sound synthesis and processed radio noise that slithers and hisses itself across subdued soundscapes and into controlled eruptions.

(pro-printed CD-R in full-colour sleeve, to be restocked soon)

Kryptogen Rundfunk & Hladna - Rokton & Formanta (Zhelezobeton)


Label info: "Hladna and Kryptogen Rundfunk - behind these names stand two St. Petersburg-based musicians playing experimental noise music. They both nourish a tender passion for old electronic instruments and often use them at their concerts and on recordings. One warm sunny day they gathered and decided to play on two analogue rhythm synthesizers "Rokton" and "Formanta". These are actually two identical instruments which were produced in the Soviet Union by two different factories. Each of them is the "brain" for electronic drum-kit, but can also be used separately - as a multi-channel tone-noise-generator or rhytm-machine.
Kryptogen Rundfunk used his device smoothly, evenly and calmly while Hladna expelled from his more sharp and unpredictable sounds. Worth mentioning are Hladna's non-standard ways of making sound - on the last two tracks he opened the back plate of his synth and played not only using knobs but also getting inside and abridging contacts with his own hands (for which he was incidentally struck by the current a couple of times).
Live recording without any processing, with all it's natural crackles and tasty overloads. Abstract electronics, minimalism and a little noise."

Slepok Soznaniya

[mp3 ] [ mp3 ] [ mp3 ]

Kshatriy - Slepok Soznaniya (Muzyka Voln)


First CD from this Russian project that started out in 2004 and whose collaboration album with Vresnit and compilation appearance on "Muzyka Voln" are definitely solid material. "Slepok Sonzaniya" (meaning "a mould of consciousness" in Russian) forges a bio-mechanical sonic construction from synthesized drones, slow chugging rhythmic loops and treated field recordings, in a manner that brings to mind a more organic version of "The Crackling of the Anonymous"-era Inade. Dense, telluric drones for the age of Kali Yuga.

De L'Utilité Des Convoyeurs

LCEDP - De L'Utilité Des Convoyeurs (Angle Records)


Label info: "Coming from the speedcore/hardcore area of electronic music, Montreal's LCEDP now delves into the world of rhythm n' noise. His first CD creation, De L'Utilité Des Convoyeurs, takes up where urban exploration leaves off, and strives to return all that decaying matter... to life. A vibrant life, a powerful cry of joy, sadness, anger and bliss altogether. The machines are operational again, and they have a lot to say. LCEDP listened to their message and translated it into his elegant yet stormy and abrasive musical style. The result, you hold in your hands. Noisy and punchy and ultra rhythmic, with a few more introspective and abstract moments..."

Your Hand is Twisting Fires

Lamps Leaking Dead Flies - Your Hand is Twisting Fires (Mile 329)


Arrhythmic beats, chaotic yet coherent structures, bursts of melody and much more from a surprising member of Mile 329's roster. Abstract music with a soul.

(CD-R in polybag w/ sticker, out of stock)

Land:Fire - Shortwave Transmission (Power & Steel)


Follow-up album to 2004's "Physical : Mental : Psychological" released on Tesco Organisation, this new album from Herbst9's more technologically oriented twin project provides the perfect soundtrack to the military industrial complex with its array of menacing rhythms, electromagnetic waves, radio communications and glowing harmonic drones. Think of Bad Sector's "The Harrow" but as engineered and constructed by defense contractors. Reliably stunning work.

Disambiguation

[mp3 ] [ mp3 ]

Le Dépeupleur (Zbigniew Karkowski / Kaspar T. Toeplitz) - Disambiguation (Auf Abwegen)


Label info: " 'Disambiguation' is the third CD from the duo of Zbigniew Karkowski and Kaspar T. Toeplitz. It features one ongoing stream of grey, heavy and disturbing noises. It contains blocks of solid and almost material sounds, causing a physicality and urgency to the "music" which is rare to find these days."

Terrore Nello Spazio

Le Forbici Di Manitu - Terrore Nello Spazio (Small Voices)


Label info: "One of the most enigmatic, eclectic and cosmopolitan bands of the Italian electronic scene returns with a singular sonorization - originally commissioned by the sci-fi festival Invasioni and performed live in Cosenza in Summer 2001 - paying a tribute to the cult movie Terrore nello spazio (1965, a.k.a. Planet of the Vampires and The Demon Planet) by Mario Bava, the undisputed and unforgotten Maestro of Italian gothic and macabre cinema.
Based freely on the story (later plagiarized by Ridley Scott’s Alien) of the spaceships Argot and Galliot, attracted to land on a dying planet by ectoplasmic alien-vampires that in order to escape to other worlds need to take possession of the body of astronauts turning them into living zombies, Le Forbici di Manitù have created a sharp-witted hybrid of B-movies retro-fascinations and stylized genre contaminations, by mixing samplers and analogic electronics with an instrumentation hinting at jazz (flute, clarinet, congas, vibraphone) and disseminating the score with surreal cut-ups of dialogues from vintage films [...], to permeate it with a mid-Sixties mood."
