Entrelacs - Underleaf (S'Agita Recordings, 2003)


1 Underleaf (48:47)

Entrelacs is the ongoing collaboration between Yannick Dauby and Micheal Northam, which they presented in various live concerts. I am not sure if this is a live or studio recording, but it uses the sounds of 'a walk along a fallen tree, corbet, oregon' and 'a
conversation with found objects, paris, france'. One can see the MNortham influences in this one - spacious processings of the outdoor sounds, but the small tinkling on the found objects work really nice along side this. The crackling seems to be appearing on all possible
levels and makes this is quite a complex work. Complex because of all the sounds happening, but it works out as a nice sort of ambient work. Maybe clocking in at almost 49 minutes is a bit on the long side, but nevertheless it is a nice one.

Moljebka Pvlse - Irdlirvirisissong (Mystery Sea, 2005)



1 Irdlirvirisissong (65:36)

Drone de guitare manipulée divaguant d'une atmosphère à l'autre...

Swedish experimental artist Mathias Josefson started to operate under the Moljebka Pvlse moniker around 1999...
With releases under his belt for labels such as EIBON, COLD MEAT INDUSTRY, SEGERHUVA, FIN DE SIECLE MEDIA & some highly impressive work on his own ISORAMARA imprint, he became quickly renowned for his weaving of magnetizing droney ambiences mainly based on manipulated guitar patterns, despite some rarer harsher, noisier digressions...
On his majestic MS contribution, Mathias renews his sublime ethereal dronalia...
-
"Irdlirvirisissong" raises like an ancestral siren song
in a diffuse tidal motion...
a suspended filament
waving in the slow breeze...
-
Far away from some ancient shores,
an halo of lost voices haunts the seascape
resounding along an invisible fault line
like some elemental incantation...
-
"Irdlirvirisissong" swells like a gaseous cloud,
an evanescent ghost,
making from its absences
a focus of imaginary effervescence
-
If you ingest this liquid ode
and surrender yourself to its aura
it'll anchor you in an unbounded contemplative mood...

Dronæment - Ezoterick Soundzcapes (Mystery Sea, 2003)





1 Moon Drone (9:15)
2 Psw1 (7:39)
3 Psw2 (19:46)

Ce disque serait né d'une passion croisée pour le son de drones d'un barrage hydroélectrique et la musique indienne....

German Marcus Obst has been operating for many years in the underground "experimental" scene under various names of which the most known remains his dronæment incarnation...
some of his releases included works for AFE (Andrea Marutti's label), DACHSTUHL (Tarkatak/Lutz Pruditsch's label) & french label LE CRI DE LA HARPE (collaboration with RABBITS'SORROW)...
Marcus is quite a versatile artist who loves to throw a bridge between his visuals & sounds...
As for dronæment's "ethics", they are maybe enclosed into its own name... "drone as ornament", as a vital & mesmerizing motif...

Proceeding from a singular fascination for the interaction between elemental forces, natural phenomena, and all sorts of currents, dronæment's music is also an intuitive transcription of the experience of being rooted in the memory of a specific location...

On "ezoterick soundzcapes", a few drops seem suspended, half-frozen in the open air, forming a trembling pool of evanescent vibrations, a corona of waving particles, a striping motion leading to a calm shelter...
Like waking up on a submerged morning,
a repeated echo pounds out a lunar chant, digging deeper, culminating with each passage along its washed out circles...

"ezoterick soundzcapes" flow like a translucent sea on a wasted shore, pinpointing some dormant energies...

Oöphoi - The Dreams Of Shells (Mystery Sea, 2003)



1 Cydron (18:53)
2 Kalyx (20:45)
3 Narwal (28:50)

Drones désespérément (dans le bon sens du terme, hein...) lents...

Oöphoi is Gianluigi Gasparetti's main vehicle of expression for distilling deep dark tinted & entrancing ambient of the very best nature...
After captivating works for esteemed labels such as HIC SUNT LEONES, AMPLEXUS, ELECTROSHOCK, SKEAN DHU, NEXTERA, & HYPNOS, he offers here his own version of the "Night-Ocean Drones" aesthetic, having a rather innate empathy for the theme developed by Mystery Sea...

"The dreams of shells" is a breathtaking descent straight to an unknown chasm where small clouds of fine luminescent dust drift away, splitting obscure cold waters, swaying to the sound of cavernous tones...
This is a submarine hidden chorus, an ode of sirens'voices singing ageless chants...
a rain of fragmented glittering particles brushing submerged walls, while golden refractions sleep buried in the fissures...
"The dreams of shells" is a meeting with a resonating radiant world of its own, a long dive in apnea scattered with amazements...

Aidan Baker s'adjoint les services du percussionniste Jakob Thiesen pour nous livrer une ambient rythmée...

A Bout De Souffle is a 54 min Collaboration between Aidan Baker (who is also known as Nadja together with Leah Buckareff) and Percussionist Jakob Thiesen (who recently joined baker live on stage to play live drums). Aidan baker is famous for his experimental guitar music. This time things are a bit different.

You wont find the typical aidan baker drone stuff here, but instead both men created an incredible journey through the fields of krautrock, Psychedelic and drone music. The Percussion of Jakob Thiesen adds a certain deepness to Bakers guitar explorations were he also uses bass and acoustic guitar to build an mind blowing album full of surprises and wonderful melodies.
