Music for Xavier Veilhan

America Invertida
LP version. Synth ambiences, acoustic landscapes, deep songwriting, and subtle candombe percussions combine in most of the musical output released in Uruguay during the '80s. A very unique sound was developed within the narrow boundaries of Montevideo, the country's capital city, by just a small group of very talented artists. These sounds reverberated in singer-songwriting (Eduardo Darnauchans, Fernando Cabrera, Estela Magnone), jazz fusion approximations (Hugo Fattoruso's La Escuelita), experi…
Nilmonic Process
Phaserprone head honchos Jonas Asher and Jochen Hartmann return with a new collaborative effort as NIL, a synth-patch noise project destined to undermine any and all genres experimental sound. Previously as UW OWL and especially on their untouchable New Birth of Old Death tape, Asher and Hartmann created a decrepit sequence of nihilist voids featuring post-apocalyptic industrial noise with abandoned/discarded electronics. It’s easily one of the most bizarre and unknown documents ever recorded. I…
