Off Light
His first solo album, Off Light finds Scott Goodwin (known for his work as part of trio Bonus), exploring the microtones associated with overlapping sine wave oscillations. 'Off Light' and its accompanying piece 'Arc' both focus on the very subtle interplay and morphing interactions of these fundamental waveforms, taking on a level of meditative discipline that's sure to require a good deal of patience and concentration both on the part of Goodwin and the listener. Minimal as it may be there's u…
InharmoniCity
With Inharmonicity, we've tried to realize an urban symphony, through those sounds normally hidden from our perception and revealed through unusual transducers.In the track Girl Running, a dialogue is established between the sounds synthesized with Xenakis' UPIC and the sound outputs of invisible electronic objects. By carrying these magnetic fields into the audible range, the sounds have been suspended, intimately researched, orchestrated, in order to cross the physical borders of aural percept…
Shapes
Behind graphicalSound is Matteo Milani, whom we recently heard for the first time in Vital Weekly 644 as one half of the U.S.O. Project. Milani started at the end of the 80s, splicing tape at radio stations. These days its all about the computer, ‘blending synthetic and organic sound material, sharing the Pierre Schaeffer ‘audio vision’ of musique concrete’. The four pieces on this release are nice, but hardly musique concrete, unless of course the sounds have been altered to such an extent that…
Dialogue Ordinaire Avec La Machine
Few copies back in stock, long out of print. After the publication of Danses organiques, Elica is pleased to present two previously unreleased compositions by Luc Ferrari from the early 80's: the stereo magnetic tape piece Dialogue ordinaire avec la machine coupled with Sexolidad, a composition for fifteen instruments. Both pieces share with the Danses a deep sense of sexual curiosity, a penetrating matter for the composer's musical explorations. This album is yet another fine testament to the F…

The Drive
Billed as a soundtrack to an imaginary road movie this latest album from Jon Egeskov's Pixel project (his third in all) reaches into your subconscious and yanks out whatever images are lodged in there. Using a basic palette of miniscule percussive elemnts and delicately manipulated amplifier hiss Egeskov instils a sense of gentle motion, sounding out dream-like engine noise that propels the listener down whatever shady lane they're prepared to venture down. The floating hum and crinkled analogue…
Unidentified Sound Object
2006 release ** “Unidentified Sound Project” opens with a section entitled “Quantum Dripping” (three tracks), which relays their non-compromising sound research that deals with stylized interferences. Nervous sound structures (which are then modulated in the subsequent “Rebirth” section), elementary sound particles, cacophonies and granular sound frizzles consistently abuse the electronic medium. Perhaps this is a foil to certain less radical audio expressions, considering that Milani used to ma…

Underneath the surface
Since the very first notes, this music appears to be about memory, decay and subversion. It is a deep investigation on the ability of sounds to freely attract or reject each other, in accordance with their own nature and disposition, and still maintain their meaning. Combining dense, multilayered sheets of synthetic sounds, treated bass, electronic percussion, the six tracks reveal their non-architectural principle as the music develops through warm textural details, reverberations, underlying m…
Dates
Ees'T records is happy to announce a further step into the Maurizio Bianchi new production, a new compact disc which completes the Trilogy starting with the previous Colori and First Day-Last Day. This time the author concentrates on Time, or the inevitable. A sound counterpointistic journey beginning with the creation of the first human being, in autumn 4026 B.C.E. and passing through the two big planetary cataclysms. Then the individual experience of MB himself is investigated, a sort of elect…
First Day Last Day
Conceived in the same direction of the previous CD titled Colori, this new work found its bases in the revaluation of the events the started the Creation, when an intelligent and complex act of sublime love started our physical universe off, transposing them in form of 8 electronic compositions elaborated in a 2 year work. A darker atmosphere marks the background sounds giving to the whole program a more obscure and less 'easy' impression while the more melodic traces fluctuate without direction…
