Review Reblog – Marielle V Jakobsons – Star Core

This week Feminatronic playlist#95 is titled Quiet Times, music to just sit back, shut your eyes and really listen to and this album fits right into that category, with a heady mix of psyche ambience.

Artist: Marielle V Jakobsons
Title: Star Core
keywords: ambient classical cosmic experimental new age synthesizer Oakland

This pretty enlightening kind-of-an-album by multi-instrumentalist Marielle V Jakobsons starts with a nice spacious melodic amount of White Sparks. For some reason it gives me a winter-time feeling; snowflakes, socks hanging in the window, little lights and driving home for a futuristic Christmas. The melodies are nicely waved into each other creating a slow web of kind psychedelics that brings out a voice from deep within, something that seems to function as the kind of star to follow in order to find directions to a little hostel in the wintering white sparkling landscape.

Then the music changes into a warmer zone, some place in which psychedelics are teaming up with Persian hallucinations, harems, flying carpenters, bottles of smoke and graceful strings that belly dance their hour glass shapes on a floor full of comfortable…

Olivia Louvel - Data Regina

cnosnibor's avatarAural Aggravation

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…

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….

kainobuko's avatarYeah I Know It Sucks


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…
