Review Reblog – Dawn Tuesday – Papilionidae

So glad this release has been noticed and it’s dark ambient beauty.

Artist: Dawn Tuesday
Title: Papilionidae
Keywords: ambient dark ambient electronic musicexperimental noise Alaska

It’s always fun to discover new music and artist you had never heard from before. Even if the artist you discover isn’t exactly bringing a very fun sounding release towards your eager ears. Dawn Tuesday’s Papiliondae for example isn’t like a fun-fair ride filled with clowns and jokes, but a very serious sounding soundscape that will suck you in with its intrusive dark ambient. I say dark, but it’s not all too dark, there is a great feel of warm prettiness to it that makes it more into the grayer areas of ambiance music. With distinctive flows that fly gracefully like a butterfly through the air, all on different heights and moods this release takes over the senses in a most captivating way.

Part 2 has also a serene beauty over it, also a form of sadness…

Article Reblog – Beyond the Grandiose and the Seductive: Marie Thompson on Noise

guestlistener's avatarSounding Out!

Dr. Marie Thompson is currently a Lecturer at the Lincoln School of Film and Media, University of Lincoln. Her new book Beyond Unwanted Sound: Noise, Affect and Aesthetic Moralism has just been published by Bloomsbury. We’ve been following each other on Twitter for a while(@DrMarieThompson and @AbstractTruth)  and I have become very interested in her ideas on noise. I’m David Menestres, double bassist, writer, radio host, and leader of the Polyorchard ensemble (“a vital and wonderfully vexing force of the area’s sonic fringes”) currently living in the Piedmont region of North Carolina.

Review Reblog – Tattered Kaylor ~ Sombre nay Sated

This week’s playlist #102 is Artist Alphabet letter E and it gives me a good reason to catch up and discover new artists. This lead me to this older review from ACL regarding the sound artist Tessa Elieff / Tattered Kaylor.

postrockcafe's avatara closer listen

cover_1000Australian sound artist Tessa Elieff (Tattered Kaylor) has created and curated many workshops, festivals and sound installations over the past few years, but her recorded discography (including last year’s debut album Selected Realities) is expanding her reach to a global audience.  Sombre nay Sated, released on World Listening Day (July 18), gives listeners a metaphorical window into the rooms of some recent installations.

Elieff’s fascination with perception as it pertains to “sonic realities” was put to the test on this recording, as none of the three pieces were meant to be confined to the studio.  As frequent visitors to performances and installations can attest, depth, space and movement are key factors.  In many cases, a sound cast in one room is meant to be echoed in another.  How then does one translate such an environment to a stereo experience – one that will itself be…

New Release: Ewa Justka – Acid Smut

In her artistic work Ewa attempts to explore the concept of materiality of the…

Today’s Discovery #2 – Anne Heche – h + x

This is my second Today’s Discovery thanks to YIKIS : )

kainobuko's avatarYeah I Know It Sucks


Artist: anne heche
Title: h + x
Keywords: electronic ambient house Brazil

Anne Heche’s h + x is a singular track that feels romantic in a dark way. Like a forbidden romance that is naughty and thrilling on both side of the story. With classical sounding instruments and a tight firm sounding beat the soundtrack for such a thrilling ‘forbidden’ love affair (something that parents and most other people would probably not approve off) the scene is very much set.

The impression is even more elevated by the well placed samples of a sampled conversation coming out of a classic movie. I remember seeing it as the movie had a storyline you won’t easily forget, but unfortunately (thanks youth dementia) not remember its title or any other specific details from. But I do remember it was a fantastic story with a jet set setting in which a proper good looking…
