👻 GEN053: Bryce Helm - Close You're Eyes Why Smokeing W**d
🌋 OUT NOW → https://album.link/gen053
🐝 artwork by Matyáš Maláč

⚗️ BRYCE HELM provides the FINAL Genot Centre (2015-2023) release with his with his new album CLOSE YOU'RE EYES WHY SMOKEING W**D (GEN053), a maximalist collection of 34 fever dreams. The relation between these tracks reveal something like a soulseek state of mind, with an impressive horizontal as well as vertical information density, constantly jumping between perplexing, dry counterpoints to full spectrum, jacked bangers. But the whole thing is tied together by frantic, jittery atmosphere, by a blown out, squelching, even concrète approach. In their conciseness, these tracks are almost like snippets, ringtones, dj tools, but these are not miniatures: each of them implies a world, some kind of zone, the elaboration of their implied horizon left as trivial exercise to the listener.

🎢 Roland Nagy aka .mercier about Misinput Tycoon (GEN052)
“I’m constantly watching pixels since I was 5. This album reflects wasted time and digital traumas. MISINPUT TYCOON is a sequel of my FULLSCREEN album from 2019 (also on Genot) - a sonic playground that feels much safer to me compared to my previous works. Also, it's the first album I made without hearing „What would XY think about this track?” in my head. These are my hymns for healing from the digital core - hope it will help.”

"Misinput Tycoon’s 8 tracks sound like personal bursts of expression by the artist sculpted through artificial at times alien sounds that still sound very human." (Sonic Sundays)

"This is an album full of intricately engineered, futuristic sound explorations." (Zenevloed)

🏦 On MISINPUT TYCOON (GEN052), FAUSTO MERCIER returns to Genot Centre with an album full of intricately engineered, futuristic sound explorations. Quirky, syncopated, even grimy melodies emerge between sounds reminiscent of cinematic automatic sliding doors, plasma-filled light cannons and full-spectrum boot-up sounds. The approach is bio-mimetic, elastic, fizzy, accelerating and decelerating, like listening to a process of wringing out an artificial fabric, or rupturing ultra-light fibrous materials in incredible resolution. More than ever, this album is littered with colorful, even contemplative segments: having an orchestrated, playful feeling. But make no mistake: more than mere intermezzos, this only a further dimension of the album's depth, the bright timbres ready to interface with a stroboscopic, liquid, granular counterpoint at any time.

🕷 about Organe Solaire (GEN051):
“My second full length album’s focus, Organe Solaire, strays from conceptual music and goes on dissecting and splaying a dark but colourful sludge of emotions. A major point source in my compositional approach to the record has been imagining the trajectory of hyper-pop if it evolved with a more pessimistic tendency, with the same bells and whistles, but less shiny and squeaky clean — like the rainbow reflections of tar bubbles.
Organe Solaire, unable to afford being cryptic, doubles down on honest, raw lyricism and is quick to open up, building a comprehensive musical and gestural language that reflects the narratives behind each and every track. They range from slow suicidal ballads, to demented hyper-melancholic pop, to interludes containing heavy narratives, like Discrepancies (for Kellyanne): a heavily filtered piano composition dating from my late teens, also acting as a hope to reach out to a long lost then-best friend.
I did not shy away at referencing personal idols who’ve inspired me throughout the years: The Labour of Love samples Akira Fuse’s Shikuramen No Kahori, a song mentioned in Joji Koyama and Tujiko Noriko’s feature length film Kuro, and matches its theme: gazing at the afterimage of a romance long gone. Post-modern Tsunami, as outlined by “shoutout to Hito Steyerl”, is made to the image of Steyerl’s Liquidity Inc.: in its wave-like structure; in its senseless meme aesthetic; and nods at its conceptual approach, dissecting contemporary culture with economic undertones.
To aid me in my efforts, I have called upon two outstanding collaborators to lend their strengths on the album. I’ve recruited the excellent .bb.uu, providing tactful compositions and solid vocal performances, and the mysterious 2x|n, a.k.a. , for precise sound design and incisive aural interventions.
Delving into romantic torment, drug use, artistic frustrations, struggles with mental illness, Organe Solaire brings forth a fundamentally human experience in the form of raw edges thinly veiled under a layer of gloss.”

"Veering from fractured hyperpop into deconstructed club oddness and ambience, this album is a restless and rewarding experience." (DJ Mag)

"Time and time again, we have found ourselves lost in this album." (Obla Dada)

On ORGANE SOLAIRE (GEN051) by AMSELYSEN a coherent ensemble is presented consisting of digital, hyperprocessed textures, minuscule sound fragmentations and impassioned, pressing vocal broadcasts. Deceptively, the sound at intermittently even approaches something like a sugary sweet pop production: chord stabs, piano tones, heartfelt howling, energetic kicks, the whole works. The most powerful weapons in the electro-acoustic toolkit are used here: sound events occur on a microscopic scale, sliced, granulated, pitch-bent, resonant, bubbling, stretching - but at the same time have an impactful, cinematic, piercing quality. From the arrangement point of view there is a cryptic multi-centered, restless logic, with the trajectory of all tracks constantly getting out of balance, twisting, self-subverting. The human voice, or the remnants of it, form an important thread through this album; spanning a wide tonal, textural range, the voice material is sometimes vocoded, stuttering, crushed, resampled, fried, totally pushed beyond its limits; but at other times innately performative, assertive - a declaration of intent or active intervention, conveying meaning, communicating something important. Organe solaire follows 2020's murky transmission Hypnagogic Surge.

New mix by Blank Wall Season up now on Cashmere Radio!
🔗 https://cashmereradio.com/episode/eastern-daze-with-blank-wall-season/

"Surveying interstitial spaces between periodicities and aperiodicites; this set is a textural research containing excerpts from early and contemporary acousmatic music while keeping up with today's experimental electronic music. A text of different geographies and times. It includes some friends from Turkey’s experimental electronic music scene as well as some tracks that inspired Thoughts on Manifolds. It's an aural mosaic including works from Francis Dhomont, Lucy Railton and Paul Lansky."

DJ Mag premiering the centrepiece of our upcoming record from Amselysen:
"Veering from fractured hyperpop into deconstructed club oddness and ambience, this album is a restless and rewarding experience that will delight fans of the Orange Milk catalogue and the stranger corners of Oneohtrix Point Never’s discography."

🫧 Blank Wall Season - Thoughts on Manifolds (GEN050)
🪁 OUT NOW on all relevant platforms! → https://album.link/gen050
🥽 designed by Bora Başkan

Thoughts on Manifolds (GEN050) by Blank Wall Season is a feather light, mixed-material showroom of synthetic objects, constantly rolling, constricting, zooming, bubbling, evoking some vast space. Impossibly thin, transparent foil, crisp, ice cold fluids, metal on rubber impacts etching elaborate diagrams and schemes into ambiguous, lush techno-reminiscent chords. The sound arrangement here is akin to a granular breeze, like an alien meteorology, a particle simulation turning into a textural primordial soup. Constantly in acceleration or deceleration, the listener knows every vast saturated pad is seconds away from the rush of a blast-off, almost intolerable G-forces, images flashing in front of one's eyes, bullet-like hard pans. These operations are like a valve being turned, the sudden pressure release causing a stream of some noble gas being set free, or opening a shutter suddenly providing a flicker of light highlighting the contours of some cavernous lost zone.
