Dissolved‘s last venture was a shared excursion with Nonima; Paul Daniels’ latest is a solo outing, a little less industrial in nature but still tailored for dance floors. A few tracks are obvious highlights, but the album as a whole is consistently engaging.

By virtue of its unusual juxtapositions, the 10-minute “Forgotten Processes” leaps from the album and runs around the room with its spangles and decals falling off. The track begins with recessed organ and a female spoken word monologue about working in a darkroom. It’s only been a few years since the darkroom career dissolved, a victim of digital processing, but already the thought of developing film in the dark produces a sense of nostalgia. Lisa Stampfli’s vocals recall Sina Hübner of Psychobitch: confident yet wistful, with a touch of defiance. As she speaks of her own undeveloped life and stops wearing her mask, one can sense a growing temporal displacement. Twirling patterns of drums and synth surround her voice like waterspouts. Originality is key; this is likely the first song to include the lyric, “I’m replacing water with silver bromide.”

Of the other dance tracks, “Stickleback Red” is the most effective, due to a 90-second outro that pumps up the drums while eliminating all extraneous sounds. This percussive jam would be well-served by a remix; perhaps it’s time to give Nomina a call again! As for the track title, it may refer to either a fish or an Australian wine, but since it’s an instrumental, few will ask. ”Your Age in Shark Years” adds party banter, IDM textures and a layer of sampled 80s-style vox; “Selmantrasm” is the album’s speed demon at 146 b.p.m..

The finale “On Board the Deuterium Arc” is a risk that pays off, a fifteen-minute track that serves as a musical reflection of the ultraviolet spectrum, the practice of spectroscopy and the danger of looking too closely into the brilliance of discharged light. (As a certain New Jersey artist once wrote, “Mama always told me not to look into the eyes of the sun; but Mama, that’s where the fun is!”) This rotating instrumental never settles on a single pattern for too long, in tune with the natural variances in light gradation. As time passes, it contacts and folds over itself until one is no longer sure where it begins or ends, like a ball of yarn whose ends have been lost. The spell is only broken once, in the middle of the piece, with the spoken words, “Bass. Drums. The D.J.” – rather unnecessary since one would normally be aware of these three things in a club. Such minor indulgences can be forgiven in the service of the beat. (Richard Allen)

Artist: Ensemble Economique
Title Of Album: Light That Comes, Light That Goes
Year Of Release: 2013
Label: Denovali Records / DEN187
Genre: Ambient, Experimental
Quality: MP3
Bitrate: 320 kbps
Total Time: 00:39:02
Total Size: 97 mb

One of two new releases from Brian Pyle (the other being ‘Interval Signals’), Light That Comes is a rich exploration of Ensemble Economique’s range and power. With a palpable sense of the sublime throughout, the listener is guided through drones like the pillars and buttresses of a cathedral for a sombre new religion, into the sounds of the ocean (somehow elegiac), flute tones springing up in the fog like gravestones, and fallen kosmische. These are followed by the wonderfully odd ‘As the Train Leaves Tonight,’ a version of Spandau Ballet’s ‘True’ produced from within the shadow universe, featuring crashing waves of reverb, staccato chords and tommy-gun drums. Similarly, ‘Radiate Through Me’ is a shoegazy torch song of sorts, sluggishly drifting along on beams of spectacular light. The brilliantly unique continuum between drone and pop traversed here makes ‘Light That Comes’ a key listen.

Tracklist:
1. If You Need Help [12:39]
2. Light That Comes, Light That Goes [3:28]
3. Ksenia [8:15]
4. Glass on the Horizon [4:56]

‘In 2012 I received a scholarship from the Leverhulme Trust for a one-year Artist in Residency at the UCL Urban Laboratory in London, to introduce sound as an art practice to urban scholars and students. As part of my research I decided to dérive the city.

I spent full days and sometimes nights sweeping the streets and its interiors for sound – walking and listening with no route or intention. A city without sound does not exist. Every location, passageway, alley, road, park, and pub contains its own world of isolated sound events and patterns – the sound of a shopping bag caught by the wind on the asphalt of a busy street when a bus passes by. What seems to be merely a bus is also a cacophony of sounds, a sound world in itself: hydraulics, breaks, interior noise, honking, public announcements, humans, rolling bottles, cell phones, mp3 players. The rattle of an air-conditioning unit in an old pub toilet gradually develops its broken down sound over many years, creating a raga for it own demise. Nobody seems to hear it. Is it there? The choice of sound varies; it’s a personal selection, some sounds made it into this composition, many hours of recording didn’t.

Sound composition can alter space and time and transform a specific location and experience into an imaginary world.

The authors of the mix are Daniele Antezza and Giovanni Conti, also known as Dadub, an Italian electronic music duo and mastering engineers based in Berlin, Germany. Dadub used to be a solo project started by sound designer and musician Antezza in 2008. However, soon he was joined by Conti who was working on the interactive digital art projects at that time. Conti has brought a vast baggage of knowledge about hardware and software and duo immersed into producing. Both members are working in Artefacts Mastering studio and are highly connected to Stroboscopic Artefacts label where they have released 4 EPs and recent critically acclaimed debut album “You Are Eternity”. Influenced by King Tubby and fascinated by Lee Scratch Perry’s mix board experiments, Dadub is looking for innovative ways to merge old production formulas, new technical possibilities and sound constructing modules. “We care a lot of low frequencies and deep hypnotic atmospheres, and we both were drummers, so we guess the beats are important for us, both the patterns and the sounds,” Dadub says about their music characteristics in the interview for Electric Deluxe. While combining embossed techno rhythms and music related to dub and ambient sound textures, Dadub extracts carefully measured audio structures that could be described as moving colossal monuments. Their dynamic and powerful live performances were showcased internationally at Sonar festival in Barcelona, Melt! festival in Germany and in clubs from Berlin to Moscow and New York. So there is no doubt that the audience will hear a lot from this prominent duo in the nearest future.

By following Dadub’s recent recordings for Boiler Room, Resident Advisor and Electronic Explorations Secret Thirteen is happy to present their latest influential selection together with the celebration of the 100th mix of ours. Dadub’s selection indirectly reflects our previous mixes because it carries a lot of different stylistic motives ranging from techno, IDM, experimental to ambient, world and contemporary music. “The selection encompasses different historical moments of electronic music evolution, from the first futurist experiments (Russolo’s composition was composed in 1914) ’till the contemporary approaches,” says Dadub. The duo has connected 48 lasting records to form the sustained almost 2 hours complex mix where they have used tracks as tools to express their emotions through them. Even though the selection is deliberately eclectic Dadub wisely finds alternative ways to connect the most capricious tracks and to mask the tension between pieces that sometimes resonate. Spectral content of recorded material is always changing and smoothly reshaping its trajectory, it balances between formless compositions and rhythmical sound architecture. Dadub uses diverse audio layers to form completely new structures, new harmonies and constantly expanding sound constructions. They have dubbed and overdubbed this mix by using their new effect set up, a feedback system made by using analog vintage mixer and a couple of dirty delays. It is important to mention that this mix includes many diverse records that were evolved from dub music or could be strongly related to this genre. Among the sublime works by such respectable talents as John Cage, William Basinski, Demdike Stare, Jan Jelinek, Rhythm and Sound, Retina.it the listener will hear 4 pieces from Dadub catalog too. 2 of Dadub’s unpublished experimentations were cut from their performance at Atonal Festival 2013. All in all, “Secret Thirteen Mix 100” is a picturesque and attentively planned audio expedition through depths of emotional horizons and peaks of timeless electronic music.

Artist: David Van Tieghem X Ten
Title Of Album: FRKWYS Vol. 10: Fits & Starts
Year Of Release: 12 nov 2013
Label: Rvng Intl. / FRKWYS10
Genre: Experimental, Electronic
Quality: MP3
Bitrate: 320 kbps
Total Time: 00:43:52
Total Size: 99 mb

Tracklist:
01 Slippery Slope
02 Cooler Heads Prevail
03 Fits & Starts (Maxmillion Dunbar Remix)

For the tenth volume of FRKWYS, composer, percussionist and sound designer David Van Tieghem alongside ten younger artists from across the avant spectrum become a bulletin of Fits & Starts.

In July of 2012, RVNG Intl. was invited to participate in Bulletin Boards, a group exhibition at Venus Over Manhattan curated by White Columns’ gallery director Matthew Higgs. An extension of an ongoing project which resides in the entrance of White Columns’ downtown New York gallery, Bulletin Boards featured 24 artists / entities, each given a new bulletin board as an inspirational starting point.

In 1981, David Van Tieghem produced the experimental music video Ear To The Ground. The film features Van Tieghem “playing” downtown New York City, a world in which Van Tieghem established his rhythmic roots as a member of the Love Of Life Orchestra, a frequent collaborator with Laurie Anderson, and a player on Steve Reich’s Music For 18 Musicians, Robert Ashley’s Perfect Lives (Private Parts) / Perfect Lives and David Byrne and Brian Eno’s My Life in the Bush With Ghosts among other seminal recordings including his own.

In Ear To The Ground, all city surfaces become communications – or bulletins – under Van Tieghem’s twiddling, thwacking and thumping thumbs. Partially inspired by this and by our blank but physically limited canvas space, Van Tieghem agreed to take part in a sequence of improvised performances and creative editing to become part of our FRKWYS series.

We also invited ten younger musicians to post objects to the board. A cross section of present day New York artists were represented by way of Sam Hillmer as Diamond Terrifier (with the aid of Max Alper), Future Shuttle, Georgia, Roberto Carlos Lange as Helado Negro, Darren Ho, Eli Keszler, Hiro Kone and Megafortress, alongside the regionally sympathetic Blanche Blanche Blanche and Maxmillion Dunbar.

In place of business cards, broadsheets, and flyers, the objects / communications contributed were broken toasters, firecrackers, 2x4s, thunder drums and customized electronics, each intended as a percussive device. On opening night, the bulletin board, disguised as assemblage, welcomed David’s dialogue.

In the spirit of Ear To The Ground’s infinite conversation, Van Tieghem returned to Venus Over Manhattan to “play” the bulletin board without an audience. The process of Van Tieghem discovering and responding to the objects / bulletins again was multi-tracked in high definition.

These recordings were then presented to the ten contributing musicians for further translation, “remix” and interpretation. For the final sequence, the unique pieces were delivered to Van Tieghem to edit and embellish as the sound collages presented across two album length sides of our tenth volume in the FRKWYS series.

In what’s quickly becoming an annual tradition, L.I.E.S. founder Ron Morelli has curated a two-disc compilation (and 12” sampler) of previously released singles and forthcoming tracks for the holiday season. Due out December 11th, Music For Shut-Ins is described as ”a collection of hits, misses, new loves, and future head scratchers running the gamut from floor-ready beat tracks (Legowelt) to post chillout room bleep-hop (Daywalker & CF) to industro-wave anti-beat experimentation (Svengalisghost) with no restrictions or limitations…[It’s] a document of the immediate energy surrounding these musicians here and now, maybe one can call it club music for people who hate going to the club? Or simply ‘Music for Shut-Ins.’”

A Sagittariun keeps his identity under wraps. “I don’t feel the need to have to explain who I am or where I have come from, what my backstory is, etc.,” he once said. “There’s little point to what I am doing if I have to explain what my birth name is… I would rather simply be known as A Sagittariun, the ninth sign.” All we can say for sure is that he’s based in Bristol, and since 2011 has released five cosmic and stylistically open-ended EPs, all of which were well-received here on RA. Like those records, Dream Ritual will come out on A Sagittariun’s label, Elastic Dreams. It features a guest appearance from Skip McDonald, a veteran guitarist who played on early hip-hop classics like “White Lines” and “The Message.”

Jamal Moss’s Mathematics sub-label +++ is responsible for what is in my opinion some of his finest work. An outlet for his more experimental cosmic house and techno. ‘A Synthetic Love Life’ is an eight track double 12” kicking off on the A-side with a bangin’ sci-fi techno stomper with tough rugged industrial beat. This is followed by a dirty overdriven distorted drum machine workout that sounds like it could collapse at any given moment. The production raw, dirty and lo-fi. There’s no frills here, just raw machine funk.

Over on the B-side is a tough chicago Jacker with Jamal’s glorious synths sounding like the voices of ancient machines. Then we get a stomping track with a free flowing jazzy feel.

On the second disc the first tune has beautiful, soulful chiming melodies followed by melancholy soundscapes on the second track. Over on side D is a goose bump inducing melody that sounds somehow familiar, it’s pure electronic soul that gradually becomes enveloped in tougher industrial machine sounds. A real highlight of the set. Finally there’s some skittering and stuttering rim-shots and sharp hi-hats creating darker unnerving vibes, eventually becoming swallowed up by bubbling caustic acid.

There’s a live/ jam/ improvised feel throughout which is always refreshing in electronic music that increasingly feels like it’s over quantized, over produced and rigidly tied to the computer clock. Outstanding stuff from quite possibly my favourite producer on planet earth. I’m not crazy about every track he does but when his tunes hit that sweet spot I’m in pure sonic heaven. Highly recommended.

Tracklist:
01 Fail
02 Null Results

Fourth instalment in this ongoing series* Searing, tormented darkside f**kery from Miles Whittaker and Sean Canty’s Demdike Stare on their rinse and run Testpressing series. On the A-side ‘Fail’ is a slowly descending panic attack of pealing hi-end frequencies and impending bass doom reaching a pit of noisy no return. On the flip, ‘Null Results’ bruks loose with a scything jungle attack; frantic 16th note hi-hats and cone-crumpling subs laced with a rudeboy mentasm to incite warehouse capoeira. Come test.

02 No Mouth or Transparency and Variable

Washed up on the shores of Brighton UK, we find “A Slab About Being Held Captive” laying there quietly in the sand. This soaking enigma is the latest creation of Louis Johnstone, following up an influx of recent vinyl on Opal Tapes, Notown, Where To Now?, and Svetlana Industries. Since their debut release “Bass Urine” on NNA in 2011, Wanda and the girls have matured to a new point of refinement, sinking deeper into the careful organization of disconcerting sounds. “A Slab” truly is a seasick collage, with a pervading aqueous essence flowing throughout the two side-long pieces, carrying along with it fragments of field and domestic recordings and sample clutter. Syrupy waves of sound meld into one another with cinematic pacing, forming a gelatinous backdrop for hard cut interjections of concréte style sample manipulation, lending themselves to an air of confusing tension. As the liquid bath abruptly turns to slate, a group of gulls squawk at a bubble filled with muffled porno moans as they glide by. Body sounds and animal conversations are drowned out by the mechanical purrs of an industrial assembly line, sputtering and choking their last breaths as they struggle to stay afloat. Maddening tones seem to permeate from within, sizzling their way through the stereo field like two magnets dancing, drilling through the headspace. This hypnotic phenomena forces the mind inward, reducing it to a skull full of opiate brain mush and half-cooked soggy memories. These collections of moments may fall shamelessly into near-nothingness at any given time, eventually refilling themselves with sound in a cyclical rising and falling, perhaps acting as an abstract reflection on mental states of indifference, alienation, or just general life terror and bleakness. Wanda’s ability to maintain compositional fluidity throughout such a dynamic range of materials is reinforced by an original sense of movement and pacing, and the ability to form a creative symbiosis between cold sterility and organic warmth. Although ultimately, it’s probably best left to the artist’s own words:

“WANDA GROUP IS OR COULD BE OR WANTS TO BE A GROUP
IT IS NOT
I SHOULD BE BUT I AM AFRAID IT NEVER BECAME ONE
EITHER DUE TO A LACK OF FRIENDSHIP, KINDNESS OR POUNDING HUMAN REGRET ?
WHO KNOWS ?
WANDA GROUP TRIES TO MAKE EARTH MUSIC
THIS COULD BE INSIDE OR ABOVE OR RIGHT ON THE LAND
I THINK THAT YOU SHOULD LOOK AT CONCRETE OR MOUNTAINS TO TRY AND MOVE YOURSELF
ART GALLERIES WORK BUT SOMETIMES I THINK PEOPLE NEED TO LOOK AT THE STUFF THAT IS GROUND OR SHOVED RIGHT INTO THE EARTH OR HAS BECOME THE EARTH
ALL IS ONE SORT OF THING ETC
WANDA GROUP DOES TRY TO LOVE IN A MASSIVE WAY
IT IS ALL VERY SERIOUS AT POINTS AND SOMETIMES I NEEDS TO BE
WANDA GROUP REALLY SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO FUCKING SPEAK OR TYPE (MAYBE ONLY EXIST IN A STATUE ?)”
