Review Reblog -Beast Nest’s “Songs for Puppies”- Heathen Harvest
Sharmi Basu, the intricate powerhouse behind the project Beast Nest, seemingly has the rare power of sleight of hand. Her ability to pull the rug out from under you whilst catching you and projecting you into another time, place, space continuum is infinate considering the finite nature of material recordings. Songs for Puppies reads like…
Review Reblog – Ashley Bellouin – Ballads
The focus for a couple of weeks is on all platforms is Artists whose surnames begin with B, so this fits perfectly and recommend a listen.
Today’s featured album is an LP of drone compositions by a young avant-garde composer. This is Ms. Bellouin’s second LP overall and first for Drawing Room. The instruments played on this LP are as follows: harmonium, glass armonica, aluminum rods, electronics, electric guitar, and cello.
Side A of the LP begins with a looping drone that gradually gets louder. A bubbling melody comes in, and low, gritty, string-like tones emerge that evolve into a feeling of warmth and tranquility. Small shimmers of melody are added to the mix along with some ringing, chiming tones. As the track progresses, the low tones fade back and forth to the foreground and background. There is some repetitive bleeping, some use of volume, bright melody, and a good deal of texture.
Side B of the LP is much more ominous and uneasy. A high-pitched tone starts this track and moves into a low drone…

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…

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…
