as for seconds called through numbers
they sing for more while
we dear to you and love the temper of your shine!’

Almost all songs on Pixel are based on an improvisation, then digitally cropped, spliced, diced and overdubbed. Subsequently, they are combined to create some form of coherency – reminiscent of mosaicism, an experimental and flotsam prism of production, something of a transitional state of mind. Stimulated by organic performances, which feature natural recordings taken and manipulated to form an exploration of composition, Guanxi focuses on the difference between natural and digital acoustics. Another point of interest in his work is the investigation of the myriad of errors arising from analog and digital systems. Common for all of Guanxi’s artistic endeavors is a fascination of working on the limits of technologies when finding new material, pushing computers to the limit to obtain an aesthetic that emphasizes the imperfections of modern technology.
Pixel leads you to a drifting, encompassing musical travel – you’re carried away with a lofty, almost spiritual grandeur of a spring morning hymns and fabled sweetness of meditative ringing bells, dissolved in a glitchy vibration. In contrast, you witness a swing of the cosmological pendulum, a never-ending story of a subtle and hidden beauty of environmental acoustic reiterations, charming and alerting at the same time. The extreme tenseness of seemingly relaxing compositions, the elastic bounciness of innermost subtle melodies makes the overall impression so sleepy, tidy and sedative yet intense and arousing at the same time – the unforgettable and so uncommonplace experience for an overflowed ambient stream of our musical landscape today. Don’t miss it!
‘Exploration of this superfluid personality
as is then handed some pretty wide ranged thoughts of outdated facts in reverse…’

Mat Pogo, his solo set features his voice, a microphone and some electronics devices. Pogo developed his own language as a singer/voice-artist using his experience as a rock singer, an improviser and radio-artist where music, sounds, anecdotic and narrative elements fuse constantly. Weird processed vocal eruptions, intense screams, occasional words, pitched mouth cavity noises and electronics textures melting together in a very expressive way and often with a delicate sense of humor.

I sell books for a “job,” so I pack books every day. This summer I began recording myself working over a period of several weeks. At various times throughout, mostly toward the beginning of the recording period, I wore headphones while working so I was made even more aware of the sounds I was making in the course of my daily activities. Immediately it began to affect the gestures used and the speed with which I was going about my tasks. I began to think more and more about the specific sounds I was making while still being able to maintain a productive work flow. In turn, I began to think about all the sounds I was making whether I was working or not, whether I was recording them or not, and about the rhythm of labor in general.
This piece was edited down from many hours of recordings in Texas in August and September 2010. While it is edited, there are no additions; no parts that were not recorded during the process of working. Some days it rained and some it did not.
Ultralibéral est un duo d’improvisation composé de Marc Jolibois (platines, électronique, micro-contact, objets …) et de Sébastien Llinares (guitare, guitare préparée, objets, électronique …). Leur musique est tour à tour mélodique, bruitiste, ambiante et toujours inattendue, à la croisée de l’improvisation brute et du design sonore. Le travail de l’art dans une époque de surproduction culturelle.

After almost five years of existance, the Insubordinations netlabel starts a new serie, in cd format.
And it is KARST that inaugurates it with nine tracks where whole objetcs and percussions panoply supports, coats or even put in trouble voice and texts into an unique alloy of sound poetry, automatic/random reading/writing, free improvisation and (electro)acoustique mass.
KARST is a free improvisation and (sound) poerty quartet; intermingling objects and instruments, creating an architecture of percussions, squeaks, frictions, unreal impulses, instinctive mathematic sounds in constant reorganization.
KARST is a landscape; carved by corrosion, with sharp, underground cavities where thousands of roads offer themselves to the adventurous listener.

“2000-2010, ten years of out-of-tune trumpet”
DBPIT – Der Bekannte Post-Industrielle Trompeter is an experimental/industrial project created by Flavio Rivabella.
the trumpet is its main feature
a lot of field-recording and electronics are also used but hardly ever computer-generated or synthesised sounds…
each new DBPIT’s work is the result of some twisted-minded,
deeply conceptual experiment…
after several years of partecipations side by side with the most relevant members of Roman underground scene,
Flavio Rivabella (aka DBPIT) set off for an entirely new adventure in the year 2K;
in may 2002 Misty Circles produced the first solo attempt by DBPIT:
“eleven”, after which several solo albums and participations followed;
apart from his “solo” project, DBPIT has collaborated with many important
bands, like Novy Svet, Spectre, Circus Joy, Macelleria Mobile di Mezzanotte, Lendormin and others…
DBPIT is basically a one-man-band but has had a great number of cool collaborators in his line-up:
lendormin, Claudedi of ain soph, Mario FOB of circus joy,
Steve Stroll of ain soph and circus joy, Anna Consuelo and Kenji Siratori on vocals, Pusio at the piano/keyboards
since 2008 DBPIT collaborates with the visual artist XXENA
Frames resting gently apon the constant imagination of a dreamer, diluted shots break the silence of sound that emerges spontaneously from the slow breathing of nature that gradually transforms into genuine symphony of life.
‘Silent Microcosms ‘ is just that: a tribute to life, the slow slide along our everday journey through reality, day after day. A heavy and treacherous path , full of obstacles and pitfalls , disappointments and pain. Silent feelings that belong to our microcosm that by altering the registration, are transformed gradually into experiences of pure sensual sound, disconnected from reality thanks to the violent call that calls for a poetic balance between a romantic future vision ofsensuality and a sentimental,furious lyricism . Whether you use field recordings, instruments such as piano , guitars and keyboards and high-tech machines , Stefano Guzzetti has the ability to paint a changing world; that world that lives mainly inside us, inside those microcosms in which boundless Silence reigns Immaculate within our dreams .

Hailing from Braga, Portugal are Risco Corrosivo and Paranoid Doll. More industrial and more loudness after the delicate experimentalism will sooth your ears when in dire need of release of the chaotic. This very diverse album ranging from lo-fi to noise will certainly peak your interest.
The idea for the album âDos Caminhos do Velho Mundoâ is a roadmap of poetry from Portugal to Russia, for each country a poem by a poet of that nation. Was chosen Portugal -Hilário Borges, Spain -Miguel de Unamuno, France -Alfred de Musset, Germany -Jakob van Hoddis, Czech Republic -Rainer Maria Rilke, Poland -Adam Mickiewicz, Belarus -Yanka Kupala and Russia -Alexander Blok. Besides the concept mentioned above, this work shows the evolution of Z.O.T.E. the musics more low-fi songs (from the earlys) contrasts with the latest music, something purposeful so that it represents our evolution and our way of composition made by the pure improvisation without any direct musical influences.

Inspired by the sctweets, I wrote three semi deterministic modules
with only 140 characters, trying to make simple listening drones but,
in turn, rich sound.
At the time of execution. The parameters are not fixed, thus playing
the file history is as like an algorithmic process.

“Lacrima Christi” is influenced by long period of excessive alcohol consumption (in particular famous Italian wine) and by author’s atheist conviction.
