Machines are fascinating musicians. Tirelessly they can produce the same rhythm for years on end. Sometimes I wonder about the first machines and the noises they made. Didn’t people recognize the repetitive cadance? Did they dance to it? Did industrial music originate from, well, the industry? Over the years field recording and experimental artists have …

From one black box to another: large, black and—unless you tilt it to the light—anonymous, within which is contained Unfurling Streams, a new sound/image work created by Monty Adkins and Stephen Harvey. The two collaborated on last year’s Rift Patterns, and this new work displays the same close attention to the intricate, intimate marriage of …
The mechanical syntagms and the cycles where the transformation of potential energy into kinetic ones by old looms that Mathias Delplanque recorded at the museum of textile in Cholet, France, in 2008 for the first half of this release and by many different tools and machines that some students who took part to his workshop …

Chyba nigdy dotÄ…d, żaden muzyczny eksperyment, bardziej adekwatnie nie oddawaÅ‚ terminu “owadzia elektronika”, jak elektroakustyczny koncept duetu Porcje RosoÅ‚owe. To twierdzenie mogÅ‚oby być zasadne, gdyby nie pewien szkopuÅ‚. Owadów tu nie ma. W marcowym wydaniu Kwartalnika Kulturalnego “Opcje”, ukazaÅ‚ siÄ™ intrygujÄ…cy tekst RadosÅ‚awa Sirko “DźwiÄ™k w kontekÅ›cie post- i transhumanizmu. Muzyka zwierzÄ…t, roÅ›lin, komputerów”, bÄ™dÄ…cy …

If you check the back catalogue of Monty Adkins (which I definitely think you should), you’ll find that he often chooses a single instrument to work with and then starts exploring its possibilities and manipulating its sounds. And while the starting point and sounds are very different to begin with, he manages to create a …

Il compositore inglese Monty Adkins continua a pubblicare dischi meravigliosi. Unfurling Streams si nutre degli stessi riflessi accecanti e delle stesse lunghezze d’onda degli imperdibili Four Shibusa (Audiobulb, 2012) e Borderlands (Audiobulb, 2015). Sei lunghe tracce senza titolo costruite sui suoni di percussioni registrate dallo stesso Adkins insieme all’amico Jonny Axelsson. Riverberi di armonici legati …

Ein Dialog entsteht wiederum durch das nur als Download erhältliche Zusatzalbum »MA.ORG PA.GIT RE.MX«, für das Rishaug elf von ihm bewunderte, internationale Musiker mit Remixen der beiden Stücke beauftragte. So entstanden teils vollkommen andere, reizvolle Electronica-Arbeiten, vorrangig minimalistischer Natur, versteht sich. Empfehlenswert etwa die melodiöse DubTechno-Fantasie von Svalastog oder der zugleich nervöse wie schwebende Retrofuturismus …

Lange in der Mache war Alexander Rishaugs Nachfolger des exzellenten »Shadow of Events«. Noch minimalistischer, noch offener, mehr Ambient und Field Recordings und alles in allem weitaus experimenteller als unsere damalige »CD des Monats« ist das Ergebnis der bereits im Januar 2012 aufgenommenen zwei epischen Tracks. Dieses Werk erscheint gleich gar nicht mehr als CD, …
