Stephan Moore - To Build A Field
CD - Deep ListeningSounds that seem to converge in ultra-rarified sequences, hesitating in sensitive constructions with strong environmental and narrative structures, reflect the background of Stephan Moore, the author, a long time member of the live band at the Merce Cunningham Dance Company. Moore is a composer ... [ Continue ] email this | + facebook | + del.icio.us | + digg | TrackBacks (0) |

Maju - Maju-5
CD - ExtremeIn Japanese, "Maju" (pronounced 'may-you') has approximately the same meaning as the English word "cocoon". So in this album, the music-induced relaxation is completely different to that often obtained in neo-lounge intimate trends, usually derived from frivolous electronic entertainment and consumed in ...

Spyweirdos - Ten numbers
CD + DVD - Creative SpaceVery abstract and glitchy electronica, soundscapes resulting from a measured mix of digital and acoustic elements (the latter aren't sampled, but played ad-hoc for every single track). Barely hinted rhythmic patterns, drones, then violins, cellos, pianos. Melancholic sequences by the Greek combo Spyweirdos, ...

Ignaz Schick / Dawid Szczesny - The View Underneath
CD - Non Visual ObjectsEthereal atmospheres lightly veined with 'jazzy' attitudes with a noir penchant but very conceptual in the abstract electronic sequences. The sound design of this duo melts Ignaz Schick's skepticism towards digital technologies and interest towards objects which can emit peculiar sounds with the creative use of ...

Frank Rothkamm - Lax
CD - Flux RecordsThis is a brilliant conceptual posthumous soundtrack, inspired by the Millenium fear, trying to sonify this atmosphere during the two years before 2000 in Los Angeles. Fear, city on the edge of chaos, media upcoming hysteria, noise are described with an emotional tour of frequencies, recorded with "vintage" ...

Marc Behrens and Paulo Raposo - Hades
CD - and/OARMarc Behrens and Paulo Raposo made this recordings one by one at the beginning, on board a ferry boat and in other places near the Lisbon area's landing places within the space of three years (2001 - 2003).

Tor Lundvall - Empty City
CD - Strange FortuneAn electronic production rich in elegant textures, diluted sounds and dreaming atmospheres, mostly thanks to the iterated melodies that peep out from strange voices and meditative drones. Gloomy and sensitive envelopes, that deliberately reveal an emotional approach, far from the theoretical rigor of ... [ Continue ] email this | + facebook | + del.icio.us | + digg | TrackBacks (0) |

Nebulo - Kolia
CD - HymenThis the Thomas Pujols, aka Nebulo, fascinating debut album. He can flatter himself of a Conservatoire National de Bordeaux degree in electroacoustic composition and at the same time he's fond of contemporary electronic music intricacies, unraveling amongst genres and trends (as anybody ...

The Idealist - I Am The Fire
CD - Nosordo Rarefied ambient-style elaborations, sensible dissonances and dreaming, minimal atmospheres. Six tracks selected by Joachim Nordwall, sound artist from Gothenburg (Sweden) that debuts with the moniker 'The Idealist', feeding dilated scans and uneasy frequencies, not unrelated to space-noise ...

If shape really derived from function (as stated during the first modernist wave by functionalist architects), the elaborate package of this double release would be enough to provide a lot of elements with which to decode the (aesthetic-stylistic) reasons for such
