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…

Todays Discovery – Jelena Glazova – Ilia Belorukov – Split Tape
This is another split tape from Jelena Glazova and Ilia Belorukov, that I have just discovered via the power of browsing YIKIS and I’m pleased to have tracked the release to Bandcamp.
artist: Jelena Glazova – Ilia Belorukov
title: Split Tape
Cat: STKZ030
format: cassette tape / digital
keywords: experimental, electronic, abstract, soundscape
label: Steak Au Zoo http://www.steakauzoo.com
Ilia Belorukov is a musician, writer, organizer, Intonema label owner, collaborator and artist from Saint-Petersburg, Russia. His small biography made me think of a younger version of the legendary multi-cultural Moscow based artist, musician, organizer and poet Evgenij Kharitonov. I guess that these two Russians could probably move mountains of music and experiments together if the universe ever decided to put them in the same room in the same space.
^ Evgenij v. Kharitonov (who has absolutely nothing to do with this release..)
But for now Ilia Belorukov isn’t doing a split or collaboration with Evgenij Kharitonov but with nobody less than Jelena Glazove from Riga (Latvia). She is like Evgenij also a poet, visual artist and works her way around combining her words and…

Review Reblog – Aloesia – Singles
Another ICYMI 2016, so glad this review came along : )
Artist: Aloesia
Title: Singles
Keywords: experimental abstract ambient avant-gardeelectronic leftfield Toronto
Reviewer: Willem van O.
The first moment that my ears dipped into this release it got nicely greeted by the first (what a coincidence!) track. It was sounding nice and wet, sparkly and relaxed. Like a tropical cocktail with a fancy strawberry sliced on the top of the cocktail glass. You know, when you hear it you feel all fruity and yet somehow the fruit has a alcoholic flavor.
The next track asks ‘What was that?’ If I could trust my ears I think it was some kind of table tennis played between intelligent mechanic robotic machines. Of course I can’t be certain, but I think that was what it was…. I mean I believe that was what was recorded and showcased in that track… although it could also be rhythmic music. Shouldn’t be the music maker know better…

Review Reblog – Svetlana Maraš & Bodies Under The Waterfall: Angry Ambient Artists Volume 2
This month is ICYMI 2016.
Since, last year seemed to be an unending trail of misery and loss, I decided to look back at some of the good things that were released and created. Yes, believe it or not there was some light and I’m revisiting and reblogging as much as possible, on all platforms.
I have posted about this release but ICYMI, here’s another review about Angry Ambient Artists Vol 2. Let’s hope there’s more.
Today’s Discovery – Chipzel
Chipzel is a London based independent chip-musician from Northern Ireland who indulges in the use of Gameboys to create energetic, melodic dance tracks.
The ‘hacker ethic’ is central to Niamh’s (Chipzel) musical creativity as she takes us on a journey into the Chiptune genre, a subculture creating music from augmented hardware and software, and why such expression resonates with Millennials and others who are seeking to create raw and music for an online generation.
Review Reblog – ACL 2016: Top Ten Field Recording & Soundscape — a closer listen
Few people would guess that the Field Recording and Soundscape section of our site would also be its most timely and political. And yet, as this year’s selections indicate, the genre is far more than nature recordings. While these continue to have their place, they also hint at much larger stories: climate change, disappearing environments, […]

I’m not a great lover of end of year lists but I’m reblogging this one as it contains some of my favourite field recording discoveries of this year, all via ACL.
Review Reblog and Today’s Discovery – Kamura Obscura – Kamura Obscura Speleology
I wondered what had happened to the Frank Chickens and here is the answer. On the Christmas download list : )
Artist: Kamura Obscura
title: Kamura Obscura Speleology
keywords: Japan, Noise, Improvisation, experimental
In Japan they have had a little accident with a tsunami and a nuclear power plant, after that the things simply haven’t been the same. From making it difficult for foreign visitors the country has switched to an easy going free visa on arrival, creating a stream of tourists ready to be exposed to free nuclear radiation in the air, food, drinks and hosts. The easier access of the country and the free radiation are only two of the positive effects of the drastic worst ones. They say you have to view everything on a bright side and so we ignore the terrible waste still streaming into the ocean and in the air, focusing on positive mutations not only turning lizards into Godzillas that pop up along the coast line, but also artists seem to be heavily infected.
