If you go for this release you might experience the music gracefully swimming in like a full grown swan from the local mystery park. You might hear its Soft and calmness,  you might be aware of it slightly being confused as it follows the pleasant stream right into the pleasure receptors that are also known as ‘ears’. You might hear lo-fi waves that go from watery flow into another, bringing elegance and pleasantness wherever they go in a dreamy music way. You might hear this all, but you have to be quiet so not to destroy or miss out on the hidden elements within this atmosphere.

You might experience this as the place in which you might meet angelic sleepy melodies, greeting you like fairy tales in which a secretive voice kindly whispers a flattering…

Copy and pasted from the artist bandcamp page for informational exchange:
Yôko Higashi – hamaYoko (born in Japan) is a performer,
vocalist, butoh dancer based in Lyon, France.

Dzera is a track of around 8 minutes, if Google translate can be trusted it was made out of improvisations, in the image of Dzerassae , a legendary fallen goddess named Nartes… Yes, I know.. I have no idea what it means too; but you know the French language sometimes can be L’horrible for non-French speaking and reading people / or lacking google translators. So let’s listen to a language everyone in the world could understand; music… Or maybe even better: Sound.

Yôko Higashi’s Dzera comes to me across as an unreal world,
a soundscape in which the air to inhale has made way for…

Artist: Selma Raziel

format: cassette / digital

The first track on this album is named ‘parasomnie’ and transports us instantly inside a boiler room in which an avant-garde orchestra made out of rhythmically played boiler equipment and goose like chattering sounds, forms the music backdrop of Selma Raziel’s spoken word.

tchnął ducha’ begins more soft, as if the artist is stroking her both hands together to form a rhythm, while the legs are playing with some stuff that has been lying on the floor. With this sound situation Selma sets a very close and intimate atmosphere which she only enlarges by singing and talking softly in your ears.

With ‘dokąd zdąża teraz ‘the artist let listeners experience the full bennefits of focusing her music in a stereophonic way. Both left and right ear are being assigned to…

A short sample from Indigo. To listen to the full version go to ABC Soundproof.

In this penultimate episode of the Colour of Sound series we visit Isaac Newton as he investigates the nature of light and colour. It was Newton who formally identified the ROY-G-BIV colour spectrum after his experiments passing light through glass prisms.

Newton also attempted to connect colour with sound, a move which is often seen as an embarrassing blip in his career. He described each of the seven colours as musical intervals. Indigo, the colour of the supernatural, was described as a 6th interval.

Please go to ABC Soundproof to hear the episode in its entirety.

First of all, happy World Listening Day !

I didn’t have much time this year to submit anything to the Sonic-Terrain W.L.D. compilation. So, instead I will share this very simple yet magical underwater sound, recorded at the coral reef of the East China Sea off Ishigaki island, Japan.

The recorder was on while no one was on the boat, and everyone was pretty far from it. There is not much happening beside those sporadic sounds from the anchor and divers (which I can’t understand how got picked up since we were pretty far from the hydrophone). However, this constant 12 inch vinyl like cracking sound brings me so much joy and peace that I can’t explain. Does it remind me of those sounds I heard in the womb? Is it my personal memory of the calm feeling I experience underwater? I really don’t know. The fact is I really enjoy it. Like the spinning forgotten…
