"Voices
of the Cosmos III"
digipack
CD
2019
/ Oryginal Sound
from Cosmos
/ Dark Ambient /
W ramach VOICES
OF THE COSMOS wykorzystano oryginalne sygnały i dźwięki
pochodzenia pozaziemskiego (pulsary, magnetosfery planet, Słońce,
zorza polarna) pozyskane za pośrednictwem radioteleskopów i innych
urządzeń radiowych, nagrania archiwalne z misji kosmicznych i
sygnały z przestrzeni kosmicznej. Ścieżki instrumentalne
wkomponowane w rytmy i tony "dźwięków kosmosu" są stworzone przy
użyciu instrumentów elektronicznych, zarówno cyfrowych jak i
analogowych oraz rozmaitych obiektów akustycznych. Jest to
unikatowy w Polsce projekt muzycznoastronomiczny, w którym
wykorzystuje się oryginalne zapisy przestrzeni kosmicznej.
Albumy "Voices of the Cosmos" i "Voices of the
Cosmos II" zostały entuzjastycznie odebrane przez słuchaczy i
zebrały bardzo dobre recenzje w prasie ogólnopolskiej i
zagranicznej. Inicjatywa uzyskała także uznanie i poparcie w
środowisku naukowym (Uniwersytet Mikołaja Kopernika, Polskie
Towarzystwo Astronomiczne). Projekt VOICES OF THE COSMOS
prezentowany był w postaci koncertów audiowizualnych, także w
wersji rozbudowanej o wykłady z zakresu astronomii i obserwacje
nieba (m.in. Toruński Festiwal Nauki i Sztuki, Centrum Astronomii
UMK, Piwnice; Centrum Hewelianum, Gdańsk; Ambient Festival,
Gorlice; Skyway Festival, CSW, Toruń; Galeria Miejska BWA,
Bydgoszcz, Planetarium i Obserwatorium Astronomiczne, Grudziądz,
Planetarium Astronomiczne Instytutu Fizyki i Matematyki,
Częstochowa).
Płyta wyprodukowana
wspólnie przez Beast of Prey i Eter Records w nakładzie
limitowanym do 500 sztuk. W trój panelowym digipacku z
oryginalnymi zdjęciami z całkowitego zaćmienia Słońca.

X-NAVI:ET
"Machina
Nova"
CD
2017
/ Electroacoustic Dark
Sounds /
Nowy solowy mini
album X-NAVI:ET czyli Rafała Iwańskiego (znanego m.in. z grup HATI,
Innercity Ensemble, Alameda 5, Kapital, Voices of the Cosmos).
Materiał nosi tytuł "Machina Nova" i zawiera sześć premierowych
kompozycji. Na krążku CD znajduje się 12 utworów - dodatkiem jest
sześć kompozycji opublikowanych pierwotnie na świetnie przyjętej
kasecie "Vox Paradox" (Wounded Knife, 2015).
Oba materiały muzyczne – premierowy "Machina Nova" oraz wznowiony
jako bonus "Vox Paradox" – łączą brzmienia elektroniczne z
instrumentami akustycznymi, głównie etnicznymi, dość często
pojawiającymi się na albumach Iwańskiego i prawie wszystkich
zespołów, których jest współzałożycielem. Tym razem usłyszeć
możemy mniej lub bardziej przetworzone za pomocą efektów m.in.
chiński flet hulusi, rosyjską bałałajkę, melodikę, rozmaite
grzechotki i inne instrumenty perkusyjne. Istotny jest też fakt,
że do udziału w nagraniach zaproszono gości (Anna Zielińska
- skrzypce, Wojciech Jachna - trąbka, Radek Dziubek
- elektronika, Marcin Zyglarewicz - gitara basowa).
Płyta wyprodukowana
wspólnie przez Beast of Prey i Eter Records w nakładzie
limitowanym do 300 sztuk. Nowocześnie zaprojektowany ekopack z
okładką autorstwa Ewy Bińczyk.

RAISON D'ETRE – "Mise En
Abyme" digipack CD (Transgredient Records) - Studio album from
RAISON D'ETRE! "Mise En Abyme" (Placed In The Abyss) is a journey
to the most hidden and darkest parts of the psyche, the underworld
of the mind. Conceptually the album contains ingredients from 'The
Divine Comedy' by Dante and other similar themed stories/myths
dedicated to the katabasis theme. Comes in a 6-panel digipak with
photos by Roberto Conte. Playing time is 56:50 minutes.
SEALED IN BLOOD - ”Accursed
Sphere” CD (Herwegen Tod Production) - The inspiration for
record of 5th release of dark ambient project from Lower Silesia
was forgotten, omitted and devastated places around Polkowice.
Traditionally the greatest role played such items as ruined
shrines, forgotten cemeteries with overgrown monuments and remains
of funeral halls. At the same time away from human settlements
it`s possible to find the places with old oak trees which are
integral part of landscape. Then it goes night with its autumn
aura, mist and moon accompanied by ritual anthems. All these
factors are creating mighty, hard and gloomy atmosphere around the
last release of Sealed in Blood. One hour songs contained of misty
sounds in music traditionally builded on individual foundations of
the mining and industrial areas environment, on instruments of own
production, keyboard expressions leading by vocal sounds recorded
in abandoned bunkers. All this stuff is perfectly captured on the
picture painted in 1982 by local artist Wasowski. It exactly
reflects the concept of the release on the front included the raw
graphics photos made by Funeral.
SEALED IN BLOOD - "Death is
the part of life" CD (Herwegen Tod Production) - We wish to
proudly presents 4th full-lenght album of dark ambient project
from Lower Silesia (Poland). Inspirated by death, graveyards and
ruins music is a 58 minutes of dark and mysterious sounds of death
copper mine industrial waves and full of life forest topped by
keyboard and dark acustic compositions.
GOAT THRON - “Aktion T4 - Vernichtung von
Lebensunwertem Leben“ CD (Herwegen Tod Production) - 15 years
ago was born conception of raw and radical black metal duet named
Goat Thron. After furious of begining, non-existance for almost 3
years and finly changed style form black metal to dark industrial/
noise/ dark ambient mixture, we wish to prestent re-released
compilation album named "Aktion T4 - Vernichtung von
Lebensunwertem Leben", with a tracks from demos recorded between
2004 and 2006 a.y.p.s. Included Selbstmord cover “A profusion of
dust” this album is over 78 minutes of unstandard and radical dark
sounds released on CD.
GOAT THRON - “Ruthlessness” CD (Herwegen Tod
Production) - With a big proud we published the 4th release of the
radical project from Lower Silesia. Cloud of negative emotions
which are flowing out like a bullet rain to destroy life and
world. Full of hatred ,violence and sadism ,the ritual of
desolation, merciless and of political incorrectness with
anti-human sounds, dived in insane screams with satanic lyrics of
perdition ritual. 60 minutes of murder celebration, war and
cruelty, torture and violence are included into the uncompromised
medley of primitive and raw industrial, noise and dark ambient.
New edition on CD which was earlier released on cassette by
Werewolf Promotion. Because off its radical content, not for
political correctly and religious citizens!
O PARADIS – "Llega El Amor,
Asoma La Muerte" CD (Dark Vinyl Records) - O Paradis is the
work of Demian Recio. Since fifteen years Demian is now creating a
melancholic Mediterranean feeling in his music, free from all
general trends and hypes. On this trip he met several artists
(like Novy Svet, Val Denham or Thomas Nola among others ) and the
result was a common cooperation and inspiration. If we understand
the work of O Paradis as a long search for Demian`s own aim, we
could say that his new creature "Llega el Amor, Asoma la Muerte",
can be seen as his "Ithaca" or personal masterpiece. There are
fresh new inspirations / directions in this album, but we
recognize also a homecoming to his old love for Latin music and
the melancholy of English folk music , but all under the gaze /
banner of the death. Ladies and gentlemen, you are invited to
participate : "La Muerte" (The Death) is coming with a smile on
his face.
MOLJEBKA PVLSE – "Discourse
On Lightness" digipack CD (Reverse Alignment) - As the title
"Discourse on Lightness" suggest, the new album explore the
semantics of "light". As "light" can have obvious different
meaning, the three tracks that comprise Mathias Josefson's new
album also has a different approach soundwise. As entering track
"A History of Levitation" takes a swarming grip on drone with
carefully laid out details the second one, "Between Lightness &
Luminance", is more experimental, unpredictable to it's character
but still keeps to the format. Ending track "A Field Guide to the
Sunrise" is somewhat a mixture between the two previous, as if two
unmatched views or discourses becomes one common.
IRM – "Closure...” digipack CD (Malignant
Records) - This album marks the end of a trilogy that started with
the "Indications of Nigredo" 12" (2008) on Segerhuva and continued
with the "Order4" CD (2010) on Cold Meat Industry. Four years on,
IRM now release the grand finale on Malignant Records. While the
last album flowed between opposites and extremes, this new opus
marks a kind of a return to more familiar ground, where
traditional song structure and melody occasionally appear and are
more suited to the shorter track timing. That’s not to say that
this is an easy listen – this can be an electrifying and highly
charged listen, that feels visceral and almost physical in nature,
and there’s plenty of nightmarish circumstance to wade through.
But the omnipresent narrative feel ultimately gives these
recordings a nuanced and soothing edge. People familiar with
subjects associated with IRM, such as flamboyance, exclusion and
theatrical immersion will also find a home here this time around.
Harder to grasp is what kind of existentialist limbo the
perpetrator here resides in. Redemption - not likely. The album
also features the stellar performances of English cellist Jo Quail
and Swedish percussionist Ulrik Nilsson. Includes 20 page booklet.
MERZBOW - "Minazo vol. 1" CD
(Importand Records) - Minazo was raised at the Enoshima Aquarium
in Kanagawa Prefecture. With a strong build, 5 meters in height
and 2 tons in weight, he was the only male elephant seal in Japan.
Director Yukiko Hori said in her book, The Story of An Aquarium
(published by Iwanami Shoten) that Minazo was brought to Japan
from Uruguay in 1995. His name, which consists of three Kanji
characters meaning "beautiful," "male," and "elephant," was chosen
from 1,500 public suggestions. The aquarium had raised male and
female elephant seals called Daikichi and Omiya, who had been
brought from the Antarctic island of South Georgia in 1964. After
they died in 1977 and 1979, specimens were made using their skins,
which are currently displayed at the aquarium. Hori said that the
previous experience with the two seals was of help in raising
Minazo.
MERZBOW - "Scsi Duck" CD
(Fourth Dimension) Harsh electronics innovator Masami Akita. "It‚s
been years since I've reviewed a Merzbow CD. Every other month I
see a new release surface yet I hesitate to listen. After the 10
CDs I've heard in the past, I was expecting the same old harsh
white noise; I'm happy to say that I was wrong. "Greenman", the
opener, starts with a junk percussion sound and quickly turns
violent and spacious, with plenty of layers and textures. "Rock Me
Booa" is also pounding and percussive, with more focus on the wall
of electronics and swirling feedback. Loud and abrasive is
"Untitled 12," a thirteen minute piece. "Herpos Suite" clocks in
at 26 minutes and is very hard to get through. Very uneasy, very
loud. My attention span is more in the five minute marker, but
good nonetheless. Once again Masami Akita proves he is the king of
noise; Japanese or otherwise.
