Barry Schrader Beyond

Electronic, Experimental

Innova 640

Bebe’s whirlwind of emotion See One Sheet

This music conjures up a whirlwind of emotion from some primeval source that permeates the listener with awe, says Bebe Barron, pioneering star of electronic music. She may be right. It is certainly a deeply emotional journey between inner and outer worlds swept along by Schraders legendary synth writing.

At least one of the tunes, though, is not from a primeval source at all. Rather it uses a theme composed by Duke, a pot-bellied pig from Solvang, who played it on a xylophone once (and once only).

Beyond, Schraders only completely concrete work (it uses Waterphones and harpsichord as its sound sources) shows his interest in texture as strong as ever. Death, the final immersive track, will transport you to a place of mystery, second only to the real thing.

Barry Schrader co-founded SEAMUS and has taught at CalArts for many years. His cult-classics EAM and Lost Atlantis are also found on innova.

ANTON LENNARTSSON – Kinaxixi

ANTON LENNARTSSON – Kinaxixi

catalogue #: bull18 released: 2007

tracks:

1 Exhalation [3:18]

2 Protopterus [2:29]

3 Incubation [2:43]

4 Rebound [5:40]

5 Atone [4:00]

To survive, protopterus burrows gradually into mud as the waterlevel sinks. Protopterus secrets a mucus. This dries to a leathery cocoon enfolding its body. When the pool of water is filled anew by the rains, the cocoon dissolves and protopterus can come out. The gill-breathing has completely or partly ceased, and the function of the breathing musculature has changed.

Jean-Luc Guionnet / Toshimaru Nakamura : Map


image

 

Jean-Luc Guionnet / Toshimaru Nakamura : Map

p109

Jean-Luc Guionnet alto saxophone and church organ (on #4)

Toshimaru Nakamura no input mixing board

Recorded on march 17th, 2007 at Montreuil (France) and on july 20th, 2007 at la Collgiale Sainte-Croix, Parthenay.

The first three tracks on Map were recorded just over a month later back in Paris, with another post-onkyo Japanese grandmaster, Toshimaru Nakamura on his customary no input mixing board. Nakamura’s more abrasive sound world he’s come a long way since the almost danceable loops and pulses of a decade ago pushes Guionnet further out into the world of so-called extended technique, which he’s always been familiar with but has studiously avoided exploiting for its own sake, and the tension is palpable throughout. In addition to the alto sax, the Guionnet discography has on a number of occasions (Pentes, Tirets, Sion) explored the outer reaches of the venerable pipe organ, and the final track on Map finds him in the organ loft of a church in Parthenay, trading spine-chilling blasts of clusters with vicious screes of noise from Nakamura. Anyone who believes latter-day EAI lacks excitement and danger should be strapped down and forced to listen to this on repeat play for the rest of the year.

james edmonds : last dregs

idnet 010

21:41 | originally an improvised recording using computer, tapes and record-player in

early 2007, later adapted as a multilayered movement involving turntable, objects and

dictaphone recordings of berlin in the spring. in its last dying moments you hear the sound

of a 7″ being played, by accident, by a rusty souvenir cowbell! i like to think that the

last dregs of music might be somewhere in that sound.

Elsa Justel : Mts


image

 

Elsa Justel : Mts

empreintes DIGITALes | IMED 0785 | 2007

The electroacoustic works of Elsa Justel are striking for their rich morphological invention: canvases made of minuscule yet consistently varied sounds; stratified figures made of multiple simultaneous shots, intertwining with one another; tremblings turning into sharp and lightning objects; objects of all sizes, objects so diverse they relentlessly keep hold of your attention. This is undeniably a form of music demanding active listening, a state of awareness to the smallest palpitations, music that always has rich meanings to unveil, no matter how many times you listen to it. In fact, the more you listen to it, the more it becomes both mysterious and habitable. It is music to be cherished for its sophistication, vividness and subtlety. This music imitates nothing; it is there, warm and savant, controlled yet free, vigorous and intelligent. It adds to the real world a presence consisting of its own immanence. It is this presence that Elsa Justel has been trying to bring forth, through her unyielding work as a composer, and succeeding so rightfully that she immediately wins us over. I see Elsa Justels music as surplus life, absolutely essential to our existence.

C.A. Sinclair – Zetatene

C.A. Sinclair – Zetatene

(ca123) (April 22, 2008)

“My latest album under my own name (C.A. Sinclair) is called Zetatene, and consists of edited/remixed improvised pieces I made using mostly my laptop running custom software I made with PD (Pure Data). Sound-wise, it goes into a bit of a glitch/noise direction and the sound is very “raw” most of the time with lots of harsh granular sampling and stuff. Structurally, I was particularly interested in the kind of “accidental rhythms” you get through looping or LFOs and in “song-like”, progressive structures as opposed to just staying in one place for the duration of piece or jumping around between a number of places, as is often the case with this type of music.”

Recorded, edited mixed & mastered

Jan-March 2008 in various locations

Gear used: Macbook, Kaoss Pad (tracks 4, 9),

Cold Gold contact mics (track 9)

Software: Pure Data, BIAS Peak, Soundhack

Cover art & layout by C.A. Sinclair

“My name is Christopher A. Sinclair, I’m an electroacoustic computer musician currently residing in Vienna, Austria. I’ve released music on various netlabels both under my project name SSH Visor and under my real name. Most of my work is based on self-recorded instrument samples and the like and I’m influenced by all kinds of “out there” music, ranging from Merzbow to Fennesz to Can to fusion-era Miles Davis and way beyond.”

Ayankoko : Sakda Sissi

hpcd030

Ok, so with sakda sissi, first i wanted to put the listener in a kind of sound anestaesis with deep long ambient sounds

where you can feel cyclic frequencies as a rythm comp: second, there’s playing with free broken noises and beats.

It is not a prepared recording, it is a whole one-take session.

Ayankoko!!! In this project, i try to develop tensions in a minimal context, have fun and playing/improvising with the stuff ,more than making a big production.

This is a damn good release, and i enjoy so much taking it out with the headphonica crew. Thanks!

Enjoy, listen ,share it and play it loud..

OCP : Immerse

OCP : Immerse

+0 Lab 004 02 Enero 2008

“Immerse” es el nuevo trabajo del artista portugus Joo Ricardo. Componente de formaciones tan dispares como “Pygar” o “Jim and the Galaxy”, Joo Ricardo nos ofrece un interesante viaje a travs de texturas sonoras con alma propia. Glitches, paisajismo sonoro y una emotiva sensibilidad fielmente reflejada en “Try a little sexyness”.

Los tres primeros cortes pertenecientes a OCP, forman un coherente camino, ciencia matemtica y sensacin espacial. Colchones sonoros para cuerpos rgidos. El ltimo track, de la mano del artista barcelons Asfrico remezclando “Try a little sexyness”, nos ofrece un ejercicio de entrega total en que el abre nuevas puertas, haciendo que “Immerse” se convierta en un trabajo sin fin predeterminado.

En definitiva, una obra madura y altamente recomendable

Pauline Oliveros / Miya Masaoka : Koto Accordion

Pauline Oliveros / Miya Masaoka : Koto Accordion

“Though an unlikely combination – accordion and koto – it is not so much about the instruments as about the energies of the music that comes from the intensity of listening – listening as close to “now” as possible. We know that our consciousness is delayed by a fraction of a second that the brain interprets as now – however the body is instantaneous in its perception. Thus the phenomena of playing and becoming conscious of what has played – been played – is a continually surprising experience in such improvisation.

cronicaster 027: The Beautiful Schizophonic

Marvellous sweeping drones take us back to memories of deserted landscapes. This is the soundtrack of an impossible road movie, of simple complexities and multi-tonal melodic formations, geological oddities through wich we travel, while admiring their uniqueness. This is The Beautiful Schizophonic, performing live for the first time live in Portugal.

This performance was recorded December 12 2007 at Passos Manuel, Porto. Thank you, and good night.

frank denyer : music for shakuhachi

played by yoshikazu iwamoto

The four works on this CD are fruits of a musical collaboration that spans a quarter of a century. Frank Denyer and Yoshikazu Iwamoto met a Wesleyan University in Connecticut in 1974 where the former was a Doctoral student in ethnomusicology and the latter artist-in-residence in the Worls Music Programme. Whereas initially itwas Denyer’s interest in traditional Japanese music that brought them tpgether the endury legacy of their friendship is a folio of new compositions for shakuhachi that run like a vein trough Denyer’s output and collectively form a body of work unique in contemporary music.

maison 24 28’20 / 2008

01. Le chat flotte

02. Dos gonfl

03. Lvres givres

C’est au moment le plus inattendu que la tension s’exprime, le son installe dans une forme rptitive des motifs, des textures tout en laissant progressivement merger le palpable de l’angoisse. Vous sentez votre propre fin au contact de celle des autres.

“Le chat flotte” est une transfiguration de notre dcrpitude, les vocabulaires habituels dploys dans ces sessions relvent toujours de l’animal, l’organique, le mcanique. La force, la pulsion, le rythme n’y sont pas explicites, ils sont en devenir, en progression.

Mes pieds souffrent entre les galets ronds et poussireux. Au loin de cette plaine, je distingue les ruines.

La chaleurs ondule mon champ de vision.

Une pale de ventilateur souffle sur une vitre brise, une trace de sang imprgne le bitume, quelques clats de verre au fond d’un jardin, un ptard explose au fond des gouts. Les enfants deviennent adultes et j’ai rcidiv.

Uessels : commodities

Uessels : commodities

ALR10 : 07.04.2008

Constant logical exercise made our thoughts multiple in many senses: deeper and faster reasoning, increased capacity to organize and deal with multiple subjects at a time, more capable and ramified interpretation. The ways to achieve a goal have grown exponentially. Reflection of the increased ability to interconnect racional, subjective and unconscious perceptions. Human thoughts and technologies are connivers, and are now based on a network architecture, where the relation of its parts gets more complex as more is connected and interpreted.

In search of understanding this structure, fundamentally empirical for its subjectiveness and the lack of clues about its totallity, it is very common the presence of failure and the choice for obscure paths. For this album, Uessels makes use of failure as a starting point to build a complex universe, where chaos is just something not yet assimilated, and key objects with their own interests, and no apparent common goal, can always organize themselves homogeneously from the relation a receptor does between its parts.

Lauren Newton / Park Je Chun : 2 Souls in Seoul

CD_LR_509 : 2008/03

Recorded in Seoul in 2006, the CD is the result of Lauren Newton’s first visit to South Korea to perform at the Seoul’s Free Music Festival. As Stuart Broomer writes in his notes: “There is a genre in Korean music called Pansori, a kind of folk opera that involves two performers, a singer and a percussionist. It alternates spoken narrative with songs, and its performances can last for hours….

Here the drama of Pansori is echoed in the spontaneous songs and vocal/percussion episodes of the two performers…, the improvisory dialogue elicits performances that belong equally to West and East…, the music touches on definitive (primal) human experience…”.

Tiago Sousa – The Western Lands

Tiago Sousa – The Western Lands

rb030

The Western Lands, the western bank of the Nile: The frontier to a vast and inhospitable desert, today as in ancient times but also, in Egyptian mythology, the Land of the Dead: A space open to be filled, just as William Burroughs work published in 1987, with meaning, an open book in many ways, readable from all possible angles, strung together by an ambience which transcends the limitations of chronological storytelling: Juggling with atmospheres, real and unreal memories, and steeped in occult symbolism. The road which leads to the Western Lands, Burroughs tells us, is devious and unpredictable. Todays easy passage may be tomorrows death trap. [] To reach the Western Lands is to achieve freedom from fear.

Far more than an interpretation of Burroughs text, Tiago Sousas The Western Lands retraces itself the journey of an artist towards an unknown territory, aiming not at a conclusion, but a transition: Just as Burroughs intersects the present with an hallucinatory beyond, subverting our common notion of reality, Tiago Sousas seven compositions draw upon both the noisy and the melodious, loose rhythms as well as hypnotic repetitions, parallels of equal value which never converge to one simple truth, one simple solution. It comes as no surprise, then, that The Western Lands also marks the introduction of a second voice to Sousas musical spectrum the guitar, new counterpart to the piano, the former protagonist of his two earlier works (Crepsculo, 2006, and Noite / Nuit, split with french artist SRX, 2007): From the frail harmonies of The Writer and The Valley, to the harsh and discordant sounds of Can any soul survive the searing fireball of an atomic blast, the sinister melancholy of The Road to Western Lands pieces like Waghdas, Ka and Centipedes City always hold Sousas work in an unsettling balance, never quite yielding to either side, unfolding a wide musical landscape we as listeners can wander in: A musical cut up, equally devious and unpredictable, whose lost part are for us to find: The most obvious road is almost always a fools road.

All songs written and recorded by Tiago Sousa

based on the book with the same title by William S. Burroughs
