Todays Discovery -Nhung Nguyen & Cinchel – Movement of an Old Soul

Thanks to Stationary Travels I got a Mental Exfoliation and my Discovery Today is the sublime Nhung Nguyen & Cinchel – Movement of an Old Soul.

“…the perfect mix of the old timey and tinkly ambiance of electronically treated piano and music box, and perfectly blended, guitar fed, spatially mellifluous drone.”

REBLOG – Travelogue 2016.05.09: Mental Exfoliation — Stationary Travels

A listening journey with four albums composed of intricate electroacoustic textures, field recordings, and emotional undercurrents. Immersed in these mild sonic abrasions and vivid soundscapes, the mind can exfoliate… José Soberanes – The Rising Tide “In The Rising Tide, José strived to create something that would reflect his feelings of loss, anxiety and hope during what was […]

REVIEW REBLOG – Ars Sonor and the Reviews of Caffeinate

Great overview again of a very eclectic artist.

An Album a Day #2

This is not totally different for me but last month I accepted the challenge, like many others, to listen to and write short notes on an album a day during February 2016. I thought I would post up these here as part of my Todays Discovery theme.

Not in any order of preference here are the next 5 –

JOANNA BROUK

Proving melodic instrumental electronic music is not ear candy –


ELIZABETH VELDON

Experimental avant garde electronic noise. What a great combination


WRTCH

Dark experimental voice noise…


KAREN GWYER

Mesmeric wormhole sucks you in…


APRIL LARSON

Like drifting on the Marie Celeste, in a good way…

AN ALBUM A DAY

This is not totally different for me but last month I accepted the challenge, like many others, to listen to and write short notes on an album a day during February 2016. I thought I would post up these here as part of my Todays Discovery theme.

Not in any order of preference here are the first 5 –

GROUPER – RUINS

Beautiful Introspection…


VALENTINA VILLARROEL – ALKUN

Rhythmic electroacoustic / field recordings with a sense of place and culture.


KLARA LEWIS – ETT

Glitch DJing disparate sounds into a cohesive soundscape


ARS SONOR – TRANSIENT / ETERNAL

Awakening drone…Space with a barbed wire edge


SEA CHANGE – BREAKAGE

One to watch in 2016 –

SOUNDCLOUD SPOTLIGHT -Akane Hosaka

Akane Hosaka

“With her lunging rhythms and deliciously retro melodies, Akane Hosaka catapults us into a world of gleeful wallabies and drummer-boy monkeys.Her discovery of music came through song, and only later led to instrumental experimentation.References to her early influences, the 60s and 70s precursors of electropop, are deliberate, there for all to see: Raymond Scott, Perrey & Kingsley or Yellow Magic Orchestra. Nevertheless her true inspiration is from the visual world and lies in graphic forms and architectural fantasy:Keiji Ito, Archigram or Bruno Munari.For her, these images evoke musicthat she then sets about transcribing.Naturally reserved, she’s a perfectionist in her work. Seeing her in the studio is like watching a blacksmith in the smithy, as she bends her music into the required shapes.
Her compositions are like pastel-coloured soap bubbles in extra-bright Super 8.”

TODAYS DISCOVERY -Julia White

‘in the cities of dust’ a magnetic beauty sized in rough Diamond … for you.
Trained to noisey & punk rock, she offers us 9 pretty soothed thumbnails of pure beauty.” (David Teboul / Soft Recordings).

Artist: SPACE GIRLS
title: say you’ll be jodido
keywords: 40latino, devotional, kemetic, devotional, music, distorted ,fanatic, fancy, fancy pop fantasy music, humalien, jodido, pop, pornotube ,Madrid

Catchy, courageous, happy, outrageous and mentally intriguing, with a big hand pulling out rabbits from the mad hatters hat full of ideas; this is some fine crazy shit! It’s as if pop had taken a deep dive into a bathtub full of liquid speed, neatly absorbed through the poppy diva skin and now became fruitfully alive in all its finest insanity.

And you know what? It’s a perfect case of a production that puts the ‘super’ back in Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!
There is singing, there is dancing and it’s adrenaline rush and worth the nervous breakdown of pure entertainment! Raw and spectacular! After this you’ll be glad to change your name into Jodido; so better start practicing, and tune in:
