Review Reblog – Olivia Louvel – Data Regina
Wonderful multi media experience when you visit the site, beautifully presented
Cat Werk Imprint – CW11 – 8th February 2017
Christopher Nosnibor
The inspiration for Olivia Louvel’s latest album (fantastically presented, like its predecessor, in a DVD size digipak) casts an arc way back into history. Louvel, it transpires, was fascinated by the lives of Mary Queen of Scots and Elizabeth I – two queens who existed simultaneously on the same island, during the 16th Century – a period dominated by men. Two queens who, powerful and celebrated in their own lifetimes as well as posthumously, would never meet. And so, on Data Regina, Olivia Louvel sets herself the challenge of addressing their simultaneous yet entirely separate, disparate narratives of these two bitter rivals, and presenting distinct voices as she charts their adversarial relationship.
The twenty years during which the two queens reigned simultaneously were fraught, tempestuous ones, punctuated by battles on the Anglo-Scottish borders, disputes and reconciliations, and ultimately…

Title: Yume

Sometimes it’s good to have a dictionary at hand as even though it’s fun to rely on thinking that you know it all, sometimes words that you think you know turn out to be something you didn’t have no clue about. For example the word ‘Cat Hope’… I was like you, automatically thinking that it was the way how to describe the hope of a cat, or the hope that the presence of a cat brings. I mean look at those hospitals or elderly houses in which they have cats to stroke and cuddle with and how much love and hope it brings to the elderly and other patients… yes, Cat Hope like this is a amazing thing until you find out that Cat Hope actually means…

Today’s Discovery – Slow Air – Aisha Orazbayeva
I have passed Kazakh violinist and musician Aisha Orazbayeva like ships in the night but have recently discovered and am listening more to her electroacoustic music. This track is beautiful in its drone minimalism which slowly builds and evolves.

Minimalism doesn’t mean that there’s nothing going on sonically and here is proof.
Review Reblog – Norah Lorway – drone bølge
ICYMI 2016….
Artist: Norah Lorway
Title: drone bølge
Keywords: ambient ambient drone Vancouver
Label: xylem records
drone bølge sketches a seemingly immersive massive world of vast layers of ice, cold wind & warm intentions. Within this harsh scenery absolute beauty is discovered, swirling around in the ears to create amazing views and sights within the perspective of the mind. I saw deep blue, rays of sunlight reflecting on snowed upon huge surfaces and wished I had a photo camera to shoot some amazing shots from it. These kind of environments are such a discovery that it’s almost unbelievable that it’s just music dancing away with the imagination generated within your own head.
The second part of the journey feels as if the music had transported us miraculously on top of the highest snowy hill in the middle of the amazing scenery, creating that vibration between the nostrils of sniffing extremely cool fresh…

Todays Discovery – Review Reblog – Angelina Yershova – Piano’s Abyss
Before Synths there was the Piano but this beautiful release is an exploration of all the dynamics and sound a piano can make using the technology to enhance and create a wonderful palette of sound….Recommended.
Artist: Angelina Yershova
Title: Piano’s Abyss
Keywords: electronic dark ambient drone drone ambientelectronic experimental modern classic piano piano drone piano drone music Rome
Label: Twin Paradox Records
Angelina Yeshova’s Piano’s Abyss covers the direct feeling of eternal bliss generated by piano-drone. It starts of super smooth with soft white noise-ambient that will calm any rushed person out and make them all feel relaxed and at ease. For a release named Piano’s Abyss the clear use of a piano is nicely put away to purely form the basic ambience, once this is setup the piano comes out, playing wondrous sparkling notes on top of the massive tranquilizer of a work.
‘Suspense’ is up next, which makes the head fall even deeper into the piano abyss. Here the warm noises are more clearly generated by the artist experimenting with piano and special effects. When the piano comes in with a more natural…
