July 28, 2015 Feminatronic

This is challenging experimental music but the review gives you a very good idea of the release . Well worth a listen and Selma Raziel is my discovery today thanks to Yeah I Know it Sucks.

Yeah I Know It Sucks

Artist: Selma Raziel
title: Ontologia I
format: cassette / digital
keywords: alternative, experimental, binaural, beats, ritual, spoken word, Krakow, Poland

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.

REVIEW REBLOG – A Closer Listen -Far Rainbow ~ No Medicine That Can Cure A Fool

July 28, 2015 Feminatronic

Discovered for myself Far Rainbow a while back but thanks to A Closer Listen glad to return and reblog this review.

a closer listen

Far Rainbow are Emily Mary Barnett and Bobby Barry. On No Medicine That Can Cure A Fool they introduce the listener to a deeply colorful world that’s alive and blended together rather uneasily by rocky, experimental seas and the oh-so-still ambient sky. At first, the ambient drones prepare to take you deeper into the music. Diluted cymbals crash heavily. A pulsing bass tries to conceal the dawn chorus and its song of sweetness and light. Chirping birds eventually lose their voices and are replaced by electronic copies that bubble out of the music like a deep sea sonar. No Medicine That Can Cure A Fool is colorful music that slowly spreads its wings. A drum suddenly kicks in and provides a steady rhythm to the sailing drone which, incidentally, has its own rhythm – it just isn’t a beat – and the frequency of the drone wavers up and down…

18:00 PÜNKTLICH!!!!

The participants in the SoundBoxes Workshop will present an immersive, surround-sound experience inspired by the works of Alvin Lucier, Pauline Oliveros, John Grzinich, David Tudor, Gordon Monahan and others, performed in a darkened room for an eyes-closed audience. In the piece, a swarm of individual, simple sound sources such as tones and textures are modulated and moved through the space physically by the performers to create a complex sonic environment. Delicate and intimate sounds pass closely near the bodies and ears of the audience, while stronger, more extreme sounds occur at the edges of the space to give a sense of the architecture of the room and the objects in it.

PLEASE ARRIVE AT 18:00 SHARP FOR THIS PERFORMANCE!

And then stick around for IPAs and a chance to demo some of theMacumbista.net

This is the review –

Various Artists – Italian experimental underground 015 survey – volume II.

Courtesy to Yeah I Know it Sucks for this find.

As always, the review is quirky and to the point, which is refreshing and led me to these explorations into experimental electronic music, with some familiar names and some I am going to look up.

Here are a couple of artists on other compilations that you may be interested in –
