Something I picked up: Radian - Juxtaposition (Thrill Jockey, 2006)

Jan 25 2009, 21h16 por jetjag

Radian - Juxtaposition (Thrill Jockey, 2006)

I got Radian's first album, Rec.Extern, back when it was first released. Although I quite liked it, I obviously didn't get into it enough to check out the followup when it came out a couple of years ago. In the intervening years, though, I've been checking out lots of other stuff by projects with common members, like Autistic Daughters, Kapital Band 1, Trapist, etc. and really enjoying them. So when I saw this album second-hand I jumped on it.

Very glad I did, because it's fantastic! Much more approachable than Rec.Extern, to my ears much more focused. To me, this is really "post-rock", rather than all those instrumental rock bands, inasmuch as it really isn't rock anymore, but has a great grooving rhythm section that stops it from being noise or free improv. Electronic noises, sweeps of feedback, etc. are anchored by beautiful acoustic drums, simple repeating bass guitar riffs and only occasional touches of (recognisable?) guitar. Melodies are largely dodged in favour of texture. No huge crescendi, but plenty of more subtle messing with dynamics.

Here's a video of Tester performed live. Not great sound, but makes me want to see them live.

Mosz label review

Out 8 2008, 10h21 por jetjag

I picked up a couple of CDs from the mosz label and really enjoyed them both. Then I cottoned on to fact that the MP3 shop Amie Street has the whole label discography (all for free at the time), so I thought "bugger it, time to go completist on this".

Here are some thoughts:

mosz 001 Kapital Band 1 - 2 CD

Already written about this. Not much new to add. I've read since this was supposed to be an abstraction of funk, and that's certainly not at all obvious on this first album.

mosz 002 Martin Siewert - No Need To Be Lonesome

I was disappointed by this one - I like his more improvisional stuff, like in Trapist and with (Mosz co-owner, Radian member) Martin Brandlmayr. It's more pop than his material usually is, and comes off a bit too Thrill Jockey? Like a one-man-band version of Tortoise or something - jaunty, busy beats cut up from sampled percussion, squeaky synth lines, some rock guitar. The melody lines and some of the harmonies are a bit stranger than usual, which is interesting, but I'm not sure it's one I'll be coming back to very often.

mosz 003 Szely - Welcome To My World

Didn't like this much either - very repetitive, with lots of blippy synthetic drum beats with window-shattering high pings and super sub tones. Bit Raster-Noton, but on top of that is lots of loops of guitars, some wordless vox, and other samples wandering through. Some tracks just strike me as a bit ugly from the start, others sound good but outstay their welcome, either due to the pace or form of development. It's not awful, but I didn't enjoy it much.

mosz 004 Metalycée - Another White Album

Bit of a bad run here... This is the Mosz release I like least, chiefly because it's based around metal, not a genre I enjoy. The base of the tracks is still electronic, and in a lot of ways the sounds are quite similar to e.g. the Szely ones, with blippy synthetic beats and so on. The original sources, though, are clearly metal metal guitar riffing. It doesn't exactly thrill me, and I'm not sure it even makes much sense when sitting in the background of fairly ambient tracks. Would've thought the thunderous, slow-mo dirge approach of bands like Earth would work better.

mosz 005 Gustav - Rettet die Wale

If I'd discovered Mosz's releases in chronological order I think this would've been a big surprise. Gustav (a woman, btw) sings - in English, French and German - over a mix of electronic sounds and sampled / edited instruments such as (what sound like) flutes, harmonium, violins and guitars. The instrumentation actually reminds me quite a bit of Patrick Wolf, or a less fussy Dntel. The vocals are kind of half sung / half spoken, which I guess put me in mind of Lali Puna and AGF of Laub to some extent, but she sounds more passionate and less icy than either of those. Need to give this more listens to really get into it, I think.

mosz 006 Lokai - 7 million

Beatless guitar ambience with occasional bursts of distortion. Feels like it could be on Touch sometimes, but then goes off into much brighter, friendler territory. Chiming guitar harmonics and the like. Can't think of much to say about it, but it's certainly one of the good ones.

mosz 007 Peter Rehberg - Fremdkoerper

AKA Pita and Mego label boss... This is a collection of tracks for a contemporary dance piece. I think it's superb, but it is hard going too. The beatless pieces feature loud, buzzing digital sounds, which are often very fierce and noisy. Although beatless, it would be a mistake to describe the tracks as either drone or ambient, because the material is resampled, scattered about the stereo field and bludgeoned so it stammers and lurches in unpredictable ways. Even the most droning track is cut off by an abrupt change.

The mix of "nice" tonal elements with quite aggressive treatments is a reminder that last I heard Rehberg he was collaborating with Christian Fennesz... It's great to hear what he's been up to solo.

mosz 008 Boris Hauf - Soft Left onto Westland
This guy plays sax in some pretty free improv groups, but here it sounds to be all synth based, or at the least no obvious acoustic instruments (beyond a few chiming noises and what sounds like insects on one track). Quiet, repeating electronic motifs and ambience puts me in mind of stuff like Mapstation, with occasional soft synthetic beats. The opening track is one of the weakest, to my mind, focusing on a clicking and skipping synth bassline that's really pretty unpleasant. From there on ni things get a lot nicer for a while.

mosz 009 Forest Jackson - Cymbalism
This is actually Static, who I associate with much more poppy electronic music labels like City Centre Offices and Morr Music. The opening track has a kind of electronic dub feel - drum hits booming through reverb, driving ride cymbals and echoing chord jabs. The album continues in this kind of vein - Monolake at their slowest, Torsten Profrock's Din label (Dynamo, Traktor) - and wraps up with a Rechenzentrum remix that cranks up the tempo and throws in a techno beat and scraping string samples. Nice one.

mosz 010 Pan•American - For Waiting, For Chasing

This is great. Definitely the best Pan•American album (well, most to my tastes) and a good step up from the decent Quiet City. Nelson's continued to expand his pallette of sounds and instrumentation, and has pulled right back on the muddy techno beats that ruined his earliest stuff for me. Singing bowls, flugelhorn, field recordings... An excellent ambient album.

mosz 011 Rashim - suns.shadows

There are some really good tracks here, but it's quite a funny mix of things - sampled acoustic guitar loops, atonal piano lines, techno beats and female vox in a mix of English & German. It's the most raw-sounding of the Mosz releases, production-wise. Quite dry- and clean-sounding. Yes, Xenakis lives up to its concept of combining Xenakis and techno quite nicely - acoustic drums are bashed and walloped a la something like Psappha against a pulsing drum machine and halfway in a loud piano line starts up.

(mosz 12's a DVD, who knows what happened to 13 - unlucky?)

mosz 014 September Collective - All The Birds Were Anarchists

Already written about this. I also put it in my end of year faves for last year and think it still holds up. Much more approachable and consequently probably less demanding than a lot of the Mosz releases.

mosz 015 Szely - Processing Other Perspectives

The second Szely album is more to my tastes. The guitars are more to the fore, and just a bit more pleasant sounding. Lots of slide which I like, especially in this kind of context, wandering about on top of semi-ambient beds with some chugging synthlines providing a vaguely anachronistic backdrop. Reminds me of Frippertronics and also (strangely) Michael Brook too, despite other tracks being much harsher and less well-mannered than he would ever be. The repetitive beats are still here, but are more pallatable. The last track is a song, and ... it's no good, IMO.

(mosz 016's not out yet)

mosz 017 Kapital Band 1 - Playing by numbers

Very different from the first record - three long tracks, with almost no distorted or typical "glitch" textures to any of them. Starts with untreated cello chords before a sparse, syncopated beat with bright synth-like stabs comes in. A chiming riff wanders about on top. The abstraction of funk idea they talked about with the first album seems to be realised here and the result is like Radian meets Timbaland. The track works through a series of subtle developments over 10 minutes, but is grounded in this repeating loop. Bizarre, intriguing, and really enjoyable. I reckon fans of The Necks would enjoy this album. Brandlmayr's worked with their drummer, Tony Buck, in the past. The last track is a song, and ... it's good, IMO. Weirdly sparse and mantra-like, and whichever of them is singing is no great chanteur, but the overall results is pretty decent.

Dis-patch 7 : Vesti (na srpskom)

Set 9 2008, 21h23 por Dis-patch

DIS-PATCH FESTIVAL, SEDMI PUT 11-20. Oktobra  

U periodu od 11. do 20. oktobra biće održano sedmo po redu izdanje beogradskog fesitvala Dis-patch, sigurnog uporišta za sve one koji su zainteresovani za nove tendencije u elektronskoj, elektro-akustičnoj ili eksperimentalnoj muzici, zvučnim instalacijama, novim audio-vizuelnim konceptima i šire... Dis-patch je poslednjih godina vrlo aktivan na međunarodnom planu, tako da će pre ovogodišnjeg festivala 26. i 27. septembra biti predstavljen u Hagu showcaseom u okviru Today's Art festivala, tamošnjeg ekvivalenta Noći muzeja sa akcentom na savremenom stvaralaštvu. Tome će prethoditi i mini promo-turneja po Srbiji tokom septembra i prve nedelje oktobra, koja će obuhvatiti blizu 10 gradova (Pančevo, Zrenjanin, Subotica, Sombor, Novi Sad...) i predstaviti izabrane domaće muzičare, dok će centralni festivalski program u oktobru ponuditi preko 20 koncerata stilski raznovrsnih izvođača iz Sjedinjenih Država, Holandije, Austrije, Nemačke, Irske, Novog Zelanda, Slovenije i Srbije.

Kao i prethodnih godina, naglasak će biti na participaciji publike kroz besplatne koncertne programe, softversku radionicu u saradnji sa Visokom školom elektrotehnike i računarstva (bivša Viša elektrotehnička škola) i konkurs za domaće producente (Ableton "Live"), prezentacije umetnika, zanimljivu muzičku igru Sonic Wargame, rezidencijalni program bubnjara Martin Brandlmayra (Radian, Autistic Daughters, Kapital Band 1), susrete domaćih muzičara sa internacionalnim gostima i značajnu novinu: premijerni dečiji program Kid's-patch namenjen najmlađim sugrađanima koji će nakon dvodnevne radionce odsvirati neobičan zajednički koncert sa svojim "predavačima".

Prema trajanju, broju koncerata i obimu pratećih programa, sedmo izdanje Dis-patcha nudi najgušći i najraznovrsniji program do sada, uz učešće preko 40 gostiju, priznatih izvođača iz domena post-rocka, noisea, elektronike, dubstepa, dubokog techna, filma ili audio-vizuelnih projekata. Festival će predstaviti i dve svetske premijere - a/v performans Thomas Könera (dobitnika nagrada International Film Festival Rotterdam, Ars Electronica i Transmediale) baziran na audio zapisima načinjenim u Beogradu, i dokumetarnog filma "Totally Wired" irske rediteljke Niamh Ahern koji je posvećen magiji analognih sintisajzera i njihovim tvorcima i pasioniranim poštovaocima okupljenim oko berlinske muzičke prodavnice Schneiders Buero. Među prvim objavljenim izvođačima je Scott Monteith, poznatiji kao Deadbeat, iskusni dub-techno producent iz Montreala čiji će novi album u oktobru biti objavljen na etiketi Wagon Repair, a na Dis-patchu će nastupiti 17. oktobra u okviru "Bass F(r)iction" zabave koja će okupiti live actove koji se kreću između dubstepa i dubokog techna prepoznatljivih Chain Reaction tekstura.

Detalji o pozivima za učešće u dečijem programu, Ableton radionicama i takmičenju, kao i igri Sonic Wargame biće objavljeni sredinom septembra.
Potpuno nova verzija festivalskog sajta biće aktivna od 10. septembra.

Informacije o pojedinim delovima programa biće objavljivane tokom septembra.

Transbeauce et Neon Forest le 3 mai à l'OPA, Paris

Mai 4 2008, 17h45 por goodmornincaptn

J'ai beau être amateur de Transbeauce et de leur album Holyhead, leur prestation à l'OPAm'a laissé sur ma faim... Quelque chose manquait, la guitare constamment noyée dans la reverb m'a ennuyé, le duo ne semblait pas vraiment là, et il faut dire que le public était peu réceptif à leur post-rock évanescent, empreint de Labradford, Radian ou Dither... Dommage.

A l'opposé, Neon Forest était bel et bien présent. Le trio guitare/basse/batterie électronique a développé un jeu de scène peaufiné à l'extrême, avec jolis néons, fumée nauséabonde et tout le tralala, têtes qui bougent beaucoup et remerciements prématurés... Et la musique ?... Une sorte d'electro-dub-nu-métal sympa-sans-plus, qui ne prétend pas révolutionner le genre. Carré, assez pro, avec toujours un grand sens de la simplicité et de l'humilité (hum hum). Mouais.

NIN - Ghosts I-IV

Mar 6 2008, 2h04 por opt1k

Stało się coś, co zmusiło mnie do użycia tej szerokim łukiem do tej pory omijanej opcji last.fm, czyli dziennika.

Nine Inch Nails wydali nową płytę.

Powyższe ważne jest z kilku powodów:

1) NIN są kolejnymi po m.in. Radiohead tzw. gwiazdami, które wypuszczają album bez pośrednictwa dystrybutora, na własnej stronie. Można go ściągnąć w doskonałej jakości za marne $5 (dla porówniania: dowolny stary album na beatporcie kosztuje ok. $15!). Pierwsza część z 4 składających się na LP dostępna jest za darmo i już krąży w sieciach p2p (do ściągania via bittorrent zachęca Reznor) oraz wystawiona jest na stronie NIN.

2) Reznor olał całkowicie kontrakt z Universal Music, który obejmował jeszcze jeden album. To zdaje się być podsumowaniem jego ostatnich wypowiedzi wzywających do ściągania muzy przez p2p oraz krytyki wielkich wytwórni i ich polityki cenowej. Jednym słowem - otwarta konfrontacja.

3) Płyta (dokładniej, I część, reszta się ściąga) jest imho rewelacyjna. Pozbawiona wokali, nastrojowa, akustyczno-samplerowo-mikrotonalna - odmienna od poprzednich nagrań - Reznor z ekipą weszli tutaj trochę w obszary, z których ostatnio udało mi się wygrzebać parę prawdziwych perełek (Edith Progue, Ametsub, Radian itp.).

Podsumowując: warto posłuchać, wydać tą marną równowartość 2 piw i wesprzeć inicjatywę, bo z jednej strony - to doskonała muzyka, z drugiej - Trent pcha rynek muzyczny we właściwą stronę i nie wolno dać sprawie umrzeć w zarodku.
