Really fascinating how artists combine scientific theory or research and then sonically express the data, so that what I’m listening to definitely is “making an intangible, invisible phenomenon audible”.

Minimalism doesn’t mean that there’s nothing going on sonically and here is proof.
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.

Review Reblog – Svetlana Maraš and Bodies Under The Waterfall ~ Angry Ambient Artists Vol. 2
Yes, you can be an angry ambient artist and this expresses the mood at the moment.
“What to do with all this anger? The healthiest approach is to channel it into something positive” – Couldn’t agree more.
There’s been a lot of news to be angry about this year, from terrorism to Brexit to the U.S. presidential elections to the ongoing crisis in Syria. What to do with all this anger? The healthiest approach is to channel it into something positive, which Svetlana Maraš and Bodies Under The Waterfall do in the second installment of Forwind’s Angry Ambient Artists series ~ ironically, once again ending up in the Drone category. As the series progresses, we may determine that “angry ambient” is an oxymoron, but it’s still a catchy title.
Last time around, the artists involved (Machinefabriek and Phillippe Petit) were well-known for their softer works, as well as their forays into abrasion. This time, the artists are new, which leads one to wonder if they were ever ambient at all. Their stated goal: “to make some creative sense of these dark times.” These sounds are indeed…

Great to see this new project – Stag Hare – has been picked up. When I first heard this album, recommended by Sean Conrad of Inner Islands records, I was blown away by the sound, partly New Age and also what some term Now Age. It was so good to my ears , I made it my Album of the Week – 8/11//16 and was also going to be a Todays Discovery but pleased to post this YIKIS review instead.
Reblog – Visual Noise 15: Cinechine and Nibiru by Mariska de Groot
Always learn about and discover new artists via nnnoises.com and here is another in the series on visual noise, the artist being Mariska de Groot.
Intrigued by optical sound, Mariska de Groot [NL] makes and performs comprehensive analog light-to-sound instruments and installations which explore this principle in new ways. Her work often has a reference to media inventions from the past, with which she aims to excite a multi-sensorial and phenomenological experiences in light, sound, movement and space.
CineChine
In CineChine you experience in physical proportions the phenomenon optical sound – an invention of the 1920’s applied in celluloid and synthesizers – where light and sound are a similar. Objects that remind of a disassembled movie machine are positioned in the room. For every exhibition a new side-specific composition is made:
Niburu
Nibiru is a mechanical performative installation wherein simple rhythmical body movements activates a squeaky pendulum drawing machine, that on its turn creates complex mathematical images. Noises of friction are amplified and sound patterns are created by light-sensitive speakers that scan the changing projected…

Review Reblog – HUMANFOBIA – Atmósfera Lívida
I can always rely on YIKIS to find the needle in the haystack that is the web and this is a great find – Sábila Orbe, Humanfobia is a dark ambient, experimental, electronic, and noise project from Rancagua, Chile.
Artist: HUMANFOBIA
title: Atmósfera Lívida
keywords: Humanfobia, Chile, Atmospheric, Experimental, Dark Ambient, Noise, Electronic, Soundscapes
Humanphobia is a serious phobia to have, as you might know; there are a lot of humans out there. In fact they might be almost everywhere! This release with its 12 experimental atmospheric tracks are basically a look inside the mind of someone who suffers from this phobia. It’s a lonely place, sometimes it’s funny, but mostly it’s quite the fodder for paranoia and fear… Where can you hide, how is it possible to avoid the humans, how can you survive without interaction with them?
You can hear the person suffering from Humanphobia talking by herself in a corner, possibly tucked away deep in darkness, hoping that no one will see her… It’s a phobia that clearly makes lonely and one that is difficult to be understood by actual non-effected humans. Yet, if you hear…
