"New, emotional and all too self-expressive."

Our friends over at Scene Noise review the first album by Marmalsana, a new trio composed of Maurice Louca, Tony Elieh, and Burkhard Beins.

Released by Ruptured in July 2024.

The trio’s first collaborative project is purely instrumental and polyrhythmic with Middle Eastern influences, without restoring to amplification.

Ruptured’s second release this Friday is by MOOSE TERRIFIC (rptd051), a Montreal-based experimental electronic duo formed in 2016 and consisting of Sam Shalabi and Tamara Filyavich.

N**e Beginnings is this duo’s second album, and consists of playful modular improvisations peppered with post-punk, jazz, psychedelic and early electronic influences. A blend in which one can recognize subtle influences of Ukrainian, Jewish, Arabic and Canadian musical elements, as per the artists’ cultural backgrounds, life and musical experiences.

TAMARA FILYAVICH is a sound art producer and experimental electronic musician who has lived in Montreal since 1993. Her music draws inspiration from early synthesizer music, Eastern European folklore, and post-punk, among many more influences. She is a member of B.U.M, Prelubbed Sisters, and the duo Tamayugé with Maya Kuroki.

SAM SHALABI is an Egyptian-Canadian composer and improviser living in Montreal. Since his beginnings as a punk musician in the late 70’s, his work has evolved into a fusion of experimental, modern Arabic Music that incorporates traditional Arabic, chaabi, noise, classical, text, free improvisation and jazz.
He is a member of Shalabi Effect, Dwarfs of East Agouza, Land of Kush (an experimental 30-member orchestra of which he is the main composer), Karkhana and Nu***ck, among many others.

N**e Beginnings was composed, performed and produced in Montreal.
Artwork and design by Hatem Imam (Studio Safar)

Available as a limited edition of 60 cassettes, shipping exclusively from our Bandcamp page.

19/07/2024

Today Ruptured releases two new albums of exceptional 21st century experimental music, by MARMALSANA and MOOSE TERRIFIC.

First up on the starting block is MARMALSANA (rptd050), a Berlin-based trio that brings together Burkhard Beins on percussion, Tony Elieh on acoustic bass guitar, and Maurice Louca on (acoustic quarter-tone guitar. An outstanding melding of free improv and experimental jazz, if you will.

Based in Berlin and active in the free improv and experimental scenes of the city, Beins, Elieh, and Louca have spent the last decade or so developing various projects with local and international musicians.

Marmalsana is their first collaboration, one for which they decided to forego amplification and rely on acoustic instruments only, employing extended techniques and objects to produce soundscapes of drones, textures, melodies, and polyrhythms.

The resulting album fuses the three musicians’ backgrounds, styles, and influences: they succeed in merging their individual contributions into a unified whole, moving between distinct placements of sound and moments beyond instrumental recognizability. Their journey traverses between Beirut, Berlin, and Cairo, creating in the process a nomadic musical language.

The music on MARMALSANA was composed, performed and produced in Berlin in December 2023.

Cover photography by Tony Elieh, design by Maya Chami.

Marmalsana is currently streaming on all digital platforms.

The album is also available as a limited edition of 60 cassettes, shipping exclusively from Ruptured’s Bandcamp page.

Grateful to Daryl Worthington for reviewing Modern Individual, the new release by the trio of JAD ATOUI, JAWAD NAWFAL & SHARIF SEHNAOUI, in his Spool’s Out cassette column for The Quietus.

“The Lebanese trio of Jad Atoui, Jawad Nawfal and Sharif Sehnaoui make the abrasive meditative. Their music evokes cold metallic spaces, it sounds like it’s perpetually reverberating through a derelict silo. Yet it brings unlikely serenity.”

Ziad Nawfal’s March broadcast for Stegi Radio in Athens features a guest mix by Beirut-based singer/songwriter, architectural researcher and teacher MAYSSA JALLAD.

Mayssa’s work deals with the highly personal as well as the political, as evidenced on her first solo album “Marjaa: The Battle of the Hotels” — which explores the histories of urban battles that occurred during the Lebanese Civil War through a collaborative musical and architectural lens.

Mayssa’s mix for Stegi is timed to celebrate the one-year anniversary of “Marjaa”, released digitally by Ruptured on March 3rd, 2023 — then a few months later on vinyl in partnership with Six of Swords UK.

10/02/2024

From the March 2024 issue of The Wire:

A glowing review of Mayssa Jallad’s first solo album ‘Marjaa: The battle of the hotels’ courtesy of sorely-missed writer Neil Kulkarni.
How rewarding to see the album reviewed in such manner by a magazine we respect and admire, but also how sad that we cannot send our thanks to Neil, who died unexpectedly of a heart attack two weeks ago, aged just 51.

“Accompanied by Youmna Saba on oud and vocals, Jallad wanders the city looking for the once busy winding corridors now destroyed by post-1960s development. Tracks like “Kharita” and “Bhaynana” are impossibly moving, emerging from shadows into a shattering light, the oud dubbed and refracted into glinting shapes, Jallad and Saba’s voices picking up flickering traces of skyscrapered echo one moment, stark street level intimacy the next.”
(…)
“Jallad’s voice - singing and speaking, sometimes both - blurs and blends with the gorgeously downered string textures to devastating effect. The startling penultimate track “Holiday Inn (March 21 To 29)” sees Sary Moussa bring in a spectral, minimal series of synth and electronic textures to posit a strangely empty, heartbreakingly broken future for Beirut.”
(…)
“A history lesson of quiet power and, sadly, a record needed now more than ever. Mournful but wonderful.”

Marjaa is a co-release by Ruptured and Six of Swords, a new UK label founded by Fat Cat alumni Dave Howell and Marcus Thorne. It’s very doubtful that the review above would have happened without Dave’s diligent work behind the scenes, and we owe him warm thanks for that.

The album was mixed by Fadi Tabbal in Beirut and mastered in New York by Heba Kadry. Available online from Bandcamp and Cargo UK.

02/02/2024

Announcing Ruptured’s first release of 2024: TRANSIENT ORGAN is the first physical solo release by Lebanese electronic producer Jawad Nawfal (aka MUNMA) since 2016’s landmark album Three Voices.

The music on Transient Organ was composed by Jawad Nawfal between November 2021 and September 2023, in bouts of fractured creativity punctuated by frequent power cuts in his native city of Beirut.

The album features the voice of regular Munma collaborator Caroline Tabet, whose evocative spoken word poetry appears on two tracks. Tabet also provided the drawing that graces the cover of Transient Organ.

Jawad Nawfal’s latest outing is available as a digital album and limited release cassette, just shy of 40 copies.

Designed by Maya Chami in Beirut, mastered by Cedrik Fermont in Berlin, printed and duplicated in Montreal, Canada.
