Of course, this "multicultural" approach is woven throughout the actions of this collective, which becomes ever richer, compiling and developing different techniques and knowledge. They are balanced between acoustic and digital styles, aggregating many well understood traditions that typical of both world music and some free-form strategies. In the stratification of experiences and sounds, a sort of non-conformist "neo-hippie avant-garde" taste shines through. The motto of this label, EcoSono, says it very clearly: "imaginative sound art for a sustainable future." We can neither confirm nor deny the optimistic prediction of a sustainable future: however, the concept that the world could be saved by music sounds quite pleasing to us.

        <![CDATA[between somnambulism and ecstatic confusion, in redemption - perhaps - of an everyday nature now only distant and reflected. The post-classical arrangements, a certain insistent melancholy and organ drifts are modulated in a calibrated manner, together with tape-loops and the sounds of many percussion instruments and small tools, revealing a thorough cut'n'paste knowledge. The soft reverberations of exotic "home made" gamelans peek from the grooves of the ten different tracks played in uninterrupted succession, along with samples from old 78 rpm vinyl records, analog textures and "tame" background noises. Everywhere are recovered sounds, which slip - in the end - into an arrangement of adventurous juxtapositions, inspired and enigmatic, involving a wide range of electronic influences.

        <![CDATA[Vaisanen. The Finnish composer proves he's just as detailed in organizing dystopian auditory compounds, putting together erratic and uncompromising passages, overlapping analog sounds and creating harsh digital conjunctions, hums, iterated drones and environmental interferences. No compromise appears to underlie such compositional strategies, a fact made vivid by well-defined waveforms, isolated and hybridized only by buzzes, dialectical oscillations and by a widespread dissemination of signals, whistles and structural noises. The listener is also confronted with crackles and static silences, which are multiplied by summing and alternating patterns. Even what little is left of natural and atmospheric features - the cawing of birds, the incoming rain, the barking of animals or thunder - is ambiguous; we do not know whether they are modified field recordings or wholly synthetic, resulting in the shining of an inorganic and immaterial light.

The environmental structures are very effective and reverberate in a very dilated and modular way, in delicate and atmospheric disturbances, converging in vivid laptop articulations, synergic in their poetic iterations and audio-video confluences. The scores of the four different "monochromes" are organized in the manner of hypnotic digital sketches, though it is the continuum that stands out from the overall structure, vibrating with airy loop-based montages. The textures are only apparently static, but are in fact rich in layers and resonances, perhaps stemming from a crystalline desire for synthesis, of a newfound lightness or a state of grace, unintelligible in their deep orchestral resonances, but definitely evocative and rich in multidisciplinary suggestions.

César Rodrigues and David Arantes, in just 39 minutes of recordings, make up a veritable sonic assault, congealed into bloated digital assemblies and throbbing interludes, acidic and stinging, never tame in their travel through multiple energetic textures and fragmented dissonances. Progressions reverberate in ever-changing hybrids, "muscular" and alien, redundant and powerful. A "war machine" which, though apparently far from Kvitnu's typical experimental drifts, still manages to thrill with an even more "conceptual" listening experience. In fact, the solid nature of this musical creation and its authentic deconstructions ensures that the work can be defined as appropriately radical but still multi-faceted, ambiguous and polymorphic.

        <![CDATA[ organic and the digital in a unified sensory space. An angle between two walls about five meters long and half as tall defines a space both abstract and physical, a sound room which mixes frequencies and formal tensions, through projection lines drawn directly on the flat surface of the two backgrounds, while eight audio transducers are attached directly on the back of the panels. One moves - in short - on a wave of subtle perceptions, microsounds with delicate granular envelopes blurred in passages characterized by a consistently fascinating audio quality, rarefied and rigorous. Almost indistinguishable drones, synthetic squeaks that give life to suggestive similarities, echoes and reverberations and spectral structures all converge - forcing audience members into a highly sensitive state, with the capacity to perceive the slightest impulse.

In the sound elaborations of the Swiss artist - now based in Berlin - the formal structures stand out clearly, rigorously maintained in the stream of drones, field recordings and computer programming, fascinating in the repeated swelling of sequences. The work was recorded in the rooms of the Stralau 68, a very popular space - now closed - in the capital city of reunified Germany, and one dedicated to experimental music. The peculiarity of these recordings resides in the different "environmental" components of the spaces, the open, diverse soundscapes, each with a specific "color" quality. The citation of the dull rattle must refer to the "death trains" of the Nazi era, as well as to a more universal concepts such as "being on a journey" or - conversely - to everyday life, inspired by the repetition of acoustic events.

Just like in a Polaroid, which develops before our very eyes, a mechanical soft focus of barely hinted images, a dreamlike quality is preserved, speaking of a contiguous everyday reality, rarefied and a little mysterious. The strong narrative continuum pervades us between the grooves of "Polaroid piano", like improvised gymnopedies, not without film suggestions and ornamental melancholic passages. Very meaningful music themes, vacuous but romantic, ten tracks tied by a very inspired sense of interpretative lightness, airy and convincing.

Different types of data, sounds and magnetism: all these elements poetically meet in multimedia, which is here the synesthetic melting pot of experimental sound compositions. This collective, which promotes the Radio Tower Xchange project, by connecting online performances and audio art events, wants to pay homage and at the same time criticize the "broadcasting philosophies", embodied in the "symbolism" of radio towers themselves. Technologies for sharing that are evolving towards direct transmission, not "for the audience" but "from the audience" which, thanks to WiFi networks and the multiplication of "emission points" and the simultaneous demand for those inputs, pave the way to the emergence of new systemic chains.

        <![CDATA[ iterations. Kurek is mainly known for his breakcore works, created together with Marcin Stefanski, in the duo named Slepcy - also published by Cock Rock Disco. 'Lectures' is both close to and very far away from those projects (I'm thinking for example, of a piece like "With Charles Bukowski On The Ride"). There is still the same abstract, reactive and hyper-clear organisation, but this time they cite other, equally refined works, thanks to very different acoustic recordings, inspired by Cornelius Cardew, a seminal experimental composer and forerunner - with his Scratch Orchestra (1969) - of decidedly unconventional fusions. He also adds interesting fragments taken from conferences and performances of the English composer, mixing everything in an enigmatic editing, philologically careful and very involving.

        <![CDATA[mature work, thick with frequencies and noise, permeated by deaf psychedelic pulses. All this is kept together in the "physical" box with the equally historic gilded copper "nail". The "theory" behind the work seems to be the post-modern conjunction of an antithesis between very different formal contexts: the ubiquitous environmental reverberations and "white noise" together - providing an almost orchestral texture - with psychic electric acrobatics and very dark and brainy articulations. The uniform spectrum of frequencies from zero to infinity constructed by Yellow Swans is complemented by spacey, acidic constructions, deliberately shying away from a certain kind of "digitalism", a separation which is also emphasized by the fact that the CD doesn't work on computers.

This is authentic contemporary music, but is nevertheless quite difficult to enjoy easily. There are three long suites on both discs. The second CD is even more cut than the first; assonant and suspended in a different manner, yet vibrating with the same intersections. This is a sound substance diluted and enlivened by flying schizoid pop shards, cracked minimalism, environmental scores and laptop evocations (though O'Rourke prefers the word "computer", a more precise definition when applied to the instrument used for these creations). The new artwork is also very pleasant, elegant and joyously abstract, of a sparkling and slightly acidic light green color.

Even the sounds of water dripping in a refrigerator, sampled separately and then reassembled, peek from the recordings. In addition we are treated to sounds from three separate live performances: one at the Espace Julien in Marseille in 2004 (using Max/MSP and a broken subwoofer), another from a live set at Paradox in Tilburg in 2006 and a third from 2008, at the Totally Intense Fractal Mindgaze Hut in Oakland, which made the venue's parquet floor vibrate. Such a diversity of materials and techniques are then reduced to a self-referential aesthetic, creatively pursued and entropic.

Gentle melodies and indietronic patterns are veined with a very insistent downtempo melancholy and crystal clear sounds in this finely modulated work by Milosh, a Canadian classical and jazz composer. This is his third release, emblematic in its sensitive junctions, embedded in a tenuous electronic music,]]>
        <![CDATA[ carefully diluted with neo-soul influences and polite glitch processes. Scenes from everyday life, simple stories, told with insight and shyness, a falsetto voice and environmental approximations. Deconstructed beats, careful samples, vibrating in the strings and the tremulous synth, unraveled in harmonious solutions and arrangements. It is certainly not a project with a strong experimental character, but it isn't a simple sound wallpaper or contemporary chamber music either. It is poised between many eclectic and unconventional abstractions. Romantic electronic music, impalpable and not all that sweetened, since all these feelings - even if anachronistic - seem genuine enough to us.
