Ann Key * the key to unlock the doors to music and anti-music? Ann Key is one person you should hook up online with when you had already given yourself into the dangerous social anti-social trap that is that digital not-really-a-book of faces. She is there as a music and anti-music lover spreading the word […]

Review Reblog – Pauline Oliveros & Musiques Nouvelles ~ Four Meditations / Sound Geometries

Yes, totally agree – Don’t stop listening….there is always something else to hear.

pauline_oliveros_musiques_nouvelles_four_meditations_sound_geometries“The ear hears, the brain listens, the body senses vibrations.” Veteran US composer Pauline Oliveros has not only been part of the avant-garde in the classical space for the last six decades, she has arguably been one of its leaders. Throughout, Oliveros has been driven by capturing the sounds of entire spaces, not just of instruments. This was epitomised in the 1989 magnum opus Deep Listening, which was recorded in a vast, underground cistern with 45-second reverberation (watch the start of her TEDx talk to hear what a balloon pop sounded like, and read more about the cistern from our own Joseph). Her mantra is to listen to everything all the time – and to remind yourself when you’re not listening. Musically, this encompasses the sounds of the environment – soundscapes in the definitive sense of the word – as well as those produced by the music performers at an individual level. Four…

REVIEW REBLOG – Fatima Al Qadiri: Brute – Album Review — Pon De Way Way Way

Fatima Al Qadiri’s first full-length, 2014’s Asiatisch, was a promising but flawed début. Its best moments, Szechuan and Shanghai Freeway, were brimming with tension and a barely contained magic and were easily two of the year’s best tracks. However, despite these promising peaks and all its concept Asiatisch didn’t come together as a body of work. Its […]

REVIEW REBLOG – Christina Kubisch & Eckehard Güther ~ Unter Grund

If you click through from this review, I also recommend you read the detailed overview on the Gruenrekorder site for added info on the Rhur and the connections between humans and nature – water and sound.

postrockcafe's avatara closer listen

Unter GrundMany of the water-based recordings we receive are beauty-based, calling to mind vacations by the sea, meditations by the river, the sweetness of summer rain. Christina Kubisch & Eckehard Güther‘s Unter Grund is different: historical, political and metaphorical, it prompts the listener into larger modes of thought.

The original presentation was a 26-channel installation, and we’re intensely jealous of those who were able to check it out.  The CD version is an intricate soundscape of water movement in the Ruhr area, recorded above and below ground, in spouts and pipes, pumps and ponds.  The expanded recording area paints a fuller picture of water flow than one might receive from the personal experience of water from faucets and shower heads, heaters and drains.  Where does the water come from?  Where does it go?  Is it clean?  Few people ask such questions, content to trust that what enters their homes must be…

artist: Panic Girl
title: Breeze EP
keywords: electronic electronica experimental marc mozart mista min panic girl trip hop breeze jomox korg magick Germany
artist website:http://www.panic-girl.com/

Webzine Feninatronics is informing its followers of lots of talented female artists out there in the experimental and electronica music environments. One of these celebratory posts triggered me to check out the music of Panic Girl & I’m (as a music lover) utterly grateful for having this brought to the attention..

Panic Girl brings a pretty laid-back atmosphere in a free downloadable track named ‘Breeze’. This atmosphere doesn’t come in like a cloud brought to you by a summers breeze, but more by the artist forcibly marching it in with a massive stepper of a beat. Once the pretty dreamy atmosphere of voice and melodic artifacts has arrived in all it’s bright and glory; the beats retrieve for us all to enjoy the…

REVIEW REBLOG – Lea Bertucci ~ Axis/Atlas

I can always rely on A Closer Listen to widen horizons sonically and this is no exception…

postrockcafe's avatara closer listen

Axis:AtlasThose who view New York artist Lea Bertucci as a bass clarinetist are missing the bigger picture.  Fresh from her residency at Brooklyn’s ISSUE Project Room and already preparing for two other residencies, Bertucci has proven herself to be a visual artist, sound designer, improvisor and curator.  She seldom plays the bass clarinet without electronic manipulation; and sometimes, she doesn’t play it at all.

Those familiar with Bertucci’s work from our past reviews, or even from her live performances, should throw out everything they know when considering the new release.  To start, the opening cut is a flute piece: a sound collage that incorporates “an earworm from the Bulgarian folk song Dragano Draganke.”  The collage imagines the process of forgetting, or at least trying to forget, a melody that is already embedded in the mind.  As one can imagine, the process fails, while the composition does not.  The more Bertucci alters…
