Today’s Discovery – Sylvia Monnier- Stock Shot & Addictive Sling

My review? Actors never sounded so good : )

” Mika Perez has fragmented her aural identity across a number of guises and collaborative outlets. Whether issuing dreary and dreamy sets of amorphous synth pop as Sunny Dunes or recording as a duo (as Deep Catalogue or Suaves Figures), Perez never fails to bring a certain sense of ethereal genius into the fold. But Perez’s other ongoing solo project is Sylvia Monnier, an alias she’s used to issue surreal sets of synthetic sound on Cosmic Winnetou, Scum Yr Earth, Seconds, and BLWBCK, among others.

Sylvia Monnier now graces Sacred Phrases’ catalog with ‘Stock Shot & Addictive Sling,’ a conceptual cassette that meditates on some of the film world’s more dynamic, emotionally raw players. “Michel Piccoli” opens the set with curious apprehension, descending into frame like a light fog rolling through the woods. Distant static and occasional creaks provide the only sense of percussion and “rhythm” while the narrative is told entirely in negative space. “Theresa Russell” and “Gene Hackman” float in a sonic simmer of crackling textures and cyclical drone. “Delphine Seyrig,” one of the more dynamic pieces here, transitions from vacant field recordings and anonymous musique concrete into something much more mechanical, almost like a bizarrely kosmische take on industrial drone music. “Dennis Hopper” and “Maria Schneider” close the set out in an open-ended epiphany.”

Review Reblog – Agnès Pe – Tremble Passion

kainobuko's avatarYeah I Know It Sucks


Artist: Agnès Pe
Title: Tremble Passion
Keywords: devotional experimental radiohead source extreme sound forum data shit madrigals midines tremble soundLleida

Agnès Pe is back and this time she brought some trembling-worthy music experiments with her. I can’t report on them all as that would not only be considered ‘spoilers’ to everyone who enjoys exploring the newest Agnès Pe release without pre-knowledge of what to expect & how things will sound like BUT still have some things to write about the things that are important: for example how it starts!

The start is always important as it lures people in, wether it’s a cinema experience or in this case a audio-kind of entertainment. The story with this brand new release sets a clear setting of ambient & electric shaving. The right word might be a electric hair trimmer with ambience included. Everyone might be able to get a haircut by scissors…

Review Reblog – Nomadic Female DJ Troupe ~ Mix One

postrockcafe's avatara closer listen

We’re going on a picnic, yay!  Do we have everything?  Walkman?  Check.  Amplifiers?  Check.  Microphone?  Check.  Circuit board?  Check.  Turntable?  Check.  Wires?  Check.  Okay, looks like we’re set!  *walking, walking, walking*  Hey Francine, this looks like a great spot!  *unpacking*  Click, click, hum, hum, buzz, buzz.  I’m hungry!  Ruthie, did you bring sandwiches?  “…”  Uh oh.  Lisa?  A water bottle?  Anything?  “…”

The women of Nomadic Female DJ Troupe risked everything to bring us creative music: starvation, dehydration, public fine.  To the regular visitors of the park, they are strange women making strange music.  This is not Chicago’s “Saturday in the Park” or The Doobie Brothers’ “Another Park, Another Sunday”.  There is singing, albeit warped, mangled and distorted.  Although Lisa loves karaoke, few would recognize this as song.  Tapes are rewound and abused.  The needle drops and is snatched away.  What in the world is going on?

Separately, the…
