Learning, making mistakes, making a progress and finally losing the memory. Using her own experience of being taught by her mother, Norman creates a 10 minute composition based on musical material of J.S. Bach’s Fugue in B minor from Book I WTC. Piano and electronics create coherent whole, passing the musical material to each other, until recognising those two is ”no longer black or white”…

This year will soon close, so we would like to thank all musicians, composers, listeners and audiences for this year 2023. With more than 4.000.000 streams we are happy and more and more motivated to share music with you. But this closing year was also difficult and challenging for a lot of you and a lot of us.

The need to reflect on what unites us in this world seems more and more important, and also important to take care of each other with kindness and respect.

We hope for a more peaceful 2024, in which we succeed in accepting the simultaneity of contradictions as a basic prerequisite for our coexistence and celebrating it together.

We wish you a quiet and festive season and a happy and healthy 2024! Take care of you and your beloved ones.

[new album] Studies Vol. I - Dyego, acoustic physics lover, is a mixing engineer who works with several pop artists in Milan, but also with many DJs, specializing himself on electronic sound.

This EP is the first step of a new long journey, driven by the passion of sound research, that wants to give a sound to all the mental landscapes of the people, trying to give an opinion of today’s era, exploiting the sensations that sounds can make us feel.

The tracks are a reflection of today’s society, from the perspective of a 23-year-old boy trying to study it.

It is an acoustic representation of the emotions that this era makes us feel, the perception of anxiety, dreams and extreme loneliness. " Studies Vol. I" is his first acoustic study project of this society and Dyego tries to draw on it his vision of it.

[new album] Our 70th album is here with « Re’call of the void » by
a void,
pursuit of the meaning,
ambiguity of the multiple choice world,
fusions of thoughts,
a trial for telling the stories of
sound and silence,
sounds that got extremely drunk and manipulated between the interaction of a human and a computer…
sounds of the things,,, things that surround and conquers the mind each and everyday with irresistable callings of the consciousness,
with the wings of silence and sound,
sounds,
just as they are.

[new album] UXO – WALTER SALLINEN & KLAUS MAUNUKSELA.

UXO is an abbreviation of unexploded ordnance. It refers to unexploded bombs, grenades and land mines, which remain in the ground, ready to explode even decades after their use. Like unexploded ordnance, modern reality is full of unexplained threats with no single clear cause. We live in an economic system based on continual growth on a warming planet, where the future is shown in the alternating light of technological utopias and impending disasters.

Composition and sound design: Walter Sallinen
Libretto and dramaturgy: Klaus Maunuksela
Sound design, recording and binauralisation: Kaj Mäki-Ullakko
Artistic producer: Taavi Oramo
Awake Percussion: Petteri Kippo, Lauri Pekkarinen, Jerry Piipponen, Walter Witick
Chorus: Sanni Kriikku, Hannes Mikkelsson, Helena Puukka, Juha Pulli, Juho Keränen, Noora Kauppila
Cover art : Jaakko Pallasvuo

[new album] THE CALL OF THE DRONE – PAUL FLETCHER. « I work in a kind of feedback loop between sound and image making. In both my video and sound work I am always experimenting and curious to see what can be made. »

[new album] LAND / UNLAND
If we would listen closely to this recording, sooner or later we might ask ourselves if this album is a composed combination of two distinguished solo opuses put together. The extremely minimalistic setup for this recording with the very few modular units chosen by Sarigöl combined with a beat box and a strict improvised acoustic piano by Solomon without any electronic means put forth the assertive approach of the duo.

LIGNIN’ is the collaboration of improvisers Or Solomon (electronics & piano) and Melih Sarıgöl (modular synthesizers). Thriving from the ebullient scene of European improvised and experimental music, the two musicians met in Berlin in 2019 and instinctively started their recorded improvisations.

[new album] QDOOI is a project by Belgian producer Spanking Days Are Over. The focus of this album is the translation of momentary snapshots of space and time (both physically and metaphysically) into sound. The somewhat volatile nature of the finished product is a sideshow to the experience and mindset of making it. (released on 15.04.2023 links in bio)

[new release] ALONG ROUGH PATHS – LINO STRANGIS is available on our website, bandcamp and streaming platforms !

Lino Strangis is an intermedia artist, director, performer and musician.

Along Rough Paths (Parts 1 to 8)

An 8-part work like episodic epiphanies emerging from the chaos, a discontinuous journey of which what we hear here is a memory or perhaps a dream, perhaps a visionary and spiritual experience. 8 fragments of a discourse without precise relationships of consequence but linked by something that moves in depth always trying to push beyond the boundaries of the knowable.

[new album] RIO ELECTRICO – RICARDO CUADROS PRADILLA More than a musical discourse, Río Eléctrico proposes a listening disposition in which the different sections that conform it are resignifying each other. In this flow, not only sonorities produced by the electric guitar are presented, but also music from very different contexts is integrated.

NEW ALBUM : AQUASMATIQUE. Recorded in May 2022 in his studio Villa Palma, Tiri Carreras uses a reduced kit with the horizontal bass drum, cymbals and many objects. Here, the bass drum is used more as a resonance box because it allows to amplify the produced sounds and is also used by rubbing the skin to produce continuous sounds impossible to obtain by the percussion.
