nnnoises's avatarnnnoises

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…

Review Reblog – Phantasm Nocturnes – Ehoes From The Abyss

Since it’s Halloween….

kainobuko's avatarYeah I Know It Sucks


Artist: Phantasm Nocturnes
title: Echoes From The Abyss
cat: Petroglyph 053
keywords: dark, experimental, noise, drone, ambient, psy-electronic
label: Petroglyph Music http://petroglyphmusic.com/

When the first tones crawl in your ears it’s a mist of foggy darkness. Slowly creepy electronic swamps appear where mutated frogs and other creepy crawlers are hiding out in the wet and damp environment. At the end it feels like this atmosphere has come out of an magical didgeridoo with special transporting powers. “Awakenings” is more visual than a nature program on discovery channel!

The bewildering nature of darkness shaped by the artist is not going to let you run for the nearest exit. The soundscape surrounds you and keeps you exactly where it wants you to be. Trapped in a mysterious world of abnormal darkness that is fascinating as well as it sounds dangerous. The giant depth that has been created over here feels like…

via Sonic Environment Waves (July 2016) — MAKING WAVES

 

“Making Waves is a monthly series of curated playlists streaming one hour of quality, new composed music. Founded in 2015, Making Waves shines a spotlight on the music of Australian composers. Fresh playlists are released on the first day of each month and older playlists are made available all year round via our archives; perfect for those with just a few minutes to explore one track or for hours perusing a myriad of diverse sound-worlds.”

Not solely electronic. Much is Classical music and / electroacoustic but increasingly there are electronic elements in the compositions and a great introduction to Australian composers. Really recommend listening to the beautifully presented playlists.

Review Reblog – Katie Gately ~ Colors

Really recommend Katie Gately – Intelligent electro pop with an experimental edge.

postrockcafe's avatara closer listen

tri038_frontColor is a glorious explosion of dance beats, percussive samples, and vocal layers, close to overload, threatening to topple like a Jenga tower.  And yet, by her meticulous control and sheer force of will, Katie Gately holds it all together.  One of the decade’s most creative artists, she’s managed to translate her avant-garde visions, formerly on display in quarter-hour works, to something even the masses may appreciate.

Let’s face it: pop music is in need of an overhaul, and experimental music can be wonderful, but all too often goes unheard.  One thing that holds pop music back is the desire for a hit; one thing that holds experimental music back is the desire not to cross over.  Gately exists somewhere in the middle, simply making the music she likes.  A lifelong collector of sounds, her former work as a sound editor led her to the reorganization and presentation of sonic…

Review Reblog – Murcof x Wagner – Statea (Infiné)

“This is where electronic and acoustic music find the perfect balance – which is precisely what Statea represents.” – Headphone Commute

Yes. Here’s the review…

So I guess the Infiné label wasn’t just teasing us when it promised its fans a full-length album, following the announcement of the EP01 release it has put out earlier this year (April, 2016)…
