"Piano Explosion is an experimental project for future real piano with midi control device. Already Yamaha had developed grand piano with high level outer midi control for concert. Possibility of the future that laptop control grand piano is coming now 2012. This time I used max/msp devices for control synthetic software. Piano is going to express beyond real fingers." - Sanmi

BS062 Radio For The Daydreamers - Praying for the Be(a)st

2011-12-18T20:39:00.003+04:00

"away from my room,
it is only light I can hate,
for it is only light I can not be.

"Praying for the Be(a)st" is the second "Act" of the triptych with the same name. This section is a narrative of our character's struggle to find a cure to the plague that his mind has become after visiting Mother Superior in the first act. After tiresome tries to tie a connection with the outside world, a lack of power and therefore, a need for a better perspective is imperative.

The album follows the character as he tries to find shelter in the shades of gray and learns to adapt to any means necessary to get rid of any short-term turmoils. While the real world seems more and more distant, he sees himself as the strongest force in his universe. Creating demons to fight and stars to dismantle, future is not for a few days still." - Radio For The Daydreamers

BS061 Cameron Steele - Orpheus

2011-12-04T14:31:00.002+04:00

“Orpheus was a musician from Greek mythology who's wife was sent to the underworld. He traveled there to retrieve her and she was released under the condition that Orpheus did not turn to look at her until they were both out of the underworld. As soon as he was out of the underworld, he turned to look and his wife disappeared because they were not both out yet.

The music has a lot to do with those feelings, as well as the essence of each of the Greek Olympian Gods that the songs are named after.” - Cameron Steele

BS060 Raining Cloud - Dreamscapes Volume 1

2011-11-21T20:32:00.005+04:00

"Dreamscapes Volume 1 is a collaborative album which arose from discussions Joanne Gabriel and I had in early 2010; particularly An Aerial View of Red Earth, which was inspired by a discussion we had about flying dreams. This piece alludes to dream images of flying over the red soil of north-eastern Arizona. The remaining pieces were inspired by images drawn from remembrances of dreams - dream images - and fragments of dreams.

This album attempts to communicate the essence of these images." - Geronimodeleon

BS059 Nature Circuit - Fuck This, Tilted Field

2011-11-12T20:36:00.003+04:00

Nature Circuit’s first “album,” Fuck This, Tilted Field, mixes elements of previous releases (most notably the power electronics of Songs in the Key of Death) with many new ideas and sound sources, producing a much wider range of textures. The range of the album is notable as well in that it mixes “heavier” tracks with quieter pieces. Recommended to fans of noise, power electronics, drone, and depressing music in general.

BS056 Marc Broude - Medicine

2011-10-01T21:37:00.002+04:00

"Overall, it is very hard for me to describe just how I feel about Marc Broude’s “Medicine”. Though I do listen to a lot of experimental music, this album has taken me to a new dimension that I just can’t fully comprehend. The dark and disturbing atmospheres are magnificent, and every element on this album works to create a very gloomy and depressing mood, whether it be the jazz guitars, the haunting singing bowls, or even the harmonicas or accordions in the end track. The album is also very well produced, and at times, the songs do have a great arrangement to them. However, on other occasions, the songs break linear fashion, in that where there is usually a climax or a build-up, it is very hard to distinguish here. Drums can enter, but they never build to anywhere except to cut off abruptly, as well as atmospheres can continue on for very long periods of time, with very slow and rarely evolving textures occurring throughout. Does it sound like a mixture of Lustmord and Scorn? Yes. Is it a very minimal and industrial album? Indeed, yes. Has Marc Broude successfully created an eccentric mix of avant-garde jazz and dark ambient soundscapes? That will be up to you to decide, but in my opinion, he’s come pretty darn close. In fact, much closer than any other musician has. If you are a fan of Lustmord, Lull, Scorn, dark ambient, avant-garde jazz, or just flat-out strange music in general, this will most likely appeal to you. However, please note that this album is not for everyone, nor is it necessarily for the faint of heart at times as well. Would I recommend it? Most definitely. 8 out of 10 stars.." - Ian Felpel

"The idea here is to create naïve music with an avant-garde edge. About half the tracks are essentially songs--short pieces with melodies and repeating sections--but made with extremely harsh sounds. They're melodic noise, so to speak. The other half are also noisy, but longer and free-form with no structure at all other their own sonic personalities, and the use of very simple kraut-rock influenced beats.

A SENSIBLE GRAVITY (VOLUME TWO)

2011-08-24T16:26:00.003+04:00

"I think ‘Gogmagog’ is a lost classic, a real timeless masterpiece. All I could find out about the release was this on Discogs - http://www.discogs.com/Folding-Staircase-Gogmagog/release/740094

I bought this cassette in the mid eighties. It was for sale via the Coil mailing list, back in the day when things existed, a time when there were real tangible objects.

In between side one and two of ‘Gogmagog’ I have placed some of my field recordings. I made the flute recordings by a street musician on a very cheap cassette recorder. They were recorded in Kathmandu in the very early 90’s.

Following this is a cassette recording that was given to me in Siwa, Egypt. Unfortunately I have no idea who the artists are playing on this.

After this I have placed another field recording I made in Kathmandu, this time of a street musician singing and playing a small bowed instrument much like a violin.

BS052 Radio For The Daydreamers - Mother Superior and Her Fields of Migraine

2011-07-27T22:06:00.005+04:00

After the first album, Radio for the Daydreamers have worked on defining their sound much more and have tried to create a balance of different elements(/genres/styles/whathaveyou) of music. We have collaborated with some amazing artists recently, and have thence created "Praying for the be(a)st", a tryptich following a creative non-fiction story of a faustian character. Our intentions with this album, were to take elements from avant garde jazz, classical music, black metal and electronic music and create an amalgamation.

"Mother Superior and Her Fields of Migraine" is the first installment of the Praying for the be(a)st tryptich. This section tells the story of our character indulging in misery, self-realization, seclusion, developing phobias, anxieties and a need to break out to help his own mind. Accepting negativities, even though it is clear that the consequences of those negativities would be grim. To accept evil just to get some purpose. This section of the story takes place in a single room. We hope the music is picturesque enough for you to immerse yourselves into this story.

“Dabbe will appear, closed to judgement day. Will shake the world" - from Turkish film "D@bbe" (2006) Director: Hasan Karacadag

"The word 'Dabbe' appears in a number of verses of the Qur'an, although Surat an-Naml: 82 is the only one that refers to this particular event that will happen in the final times. When we set out the features of the 'Dabbe' as it appears in this verse, the following picture emerges:
1. The Dabbe is a moving, living thing.
2. The Dabbe is the product of the earth.
3. The Dabbe is a thing or creature that speaks and gives a particular message, which is addressed to all of mankind." - End of Times

За время восстановления состава проекта "Пограничное Состояние" и была записана эта великолепная программа, лишённая ударных и баса. остались только гитара, вокал и синтезатор. Ничего более - всё было записано на хромовую плёнку французского производства, что придало записи ещё большую пушистость.

"The album "6" has a high emotional charge, it's about feelings that were wrote down using notes. Every song tells a different story, the album it's not supposed to be played all at once since you can not like all of the songs at the same time. Try to enjoy the song you hear. It is for the sad people." - Syrtis Major

“Hamlet:
What a piece of work is a man, how noble in reason, how
infinite in faculties, in form and moving how express and
admirable, in action how like an angel, in apprehension how like
a god! the beauty of the world, the paragon of animals—and yet,
to me, what is this quintessence of dust? Man delights not me—
nor woman neither, though by your smiling you seem to say so.”

"As you may know, Subterrestrial is largely influenced by hollow earth theories, but also conspiracy theories, unexplainable phenomenon and the mysteries of the universe. "Esoteric Zoo" is inspired by fantastic creatures from Persian and Medieval European mythology. My original intent was to create something more "ambient," but the tracks ending up sounding more rhythmic. My usual devices of drone, minimalism and repetition are present, as always." - Subterrestrial

"The first four tracks on Major Monk Plus 3 are music-oriented sound collages that loosely follow an anti-rationalist simian protagonist as he pursues his life-long vendetta against a group of prim'e numbers who run a mustard factory. (Thanks to Clarica and Lucy Burgoyne at Librivox for swell vocal samples, and to Corsica_S at Freesound for the mustard lady.)

2010-08-15T21:52:00.008+04:00

Fescal’s recent wayward plunge into the dominion of dark experimental music demonstrates that not only is he a deft of beatless dark ambient drones but of melodic dark electron-organic music as well.
The title track “Ginger Baker” is a noisy venture into an opaque world of undulating drones thundering above subtle textures of electronics and samples.
The aptly named “Vulgar and Kitsch” follows with the catchy babble of strong synth and keyboard samples along with heavy crackles and glitches.
With “Bomdila Monastery” the emphasis is on an assortment of repetitive percussive sounds and looping brazen sonorities.
Fifth “Pork Pie and Beans” is a cold, mellow composition with a beautifully simple minor-keyed melody, sad synths, programmed and brisk, ominous electronics flittering about in the background.
What sounds like sound samples played in reverse set above layers of rolling percussion give “Shrimp Cake” a surreal atmosphere!
“Evening Butterflies” is a playful, abstract collage of thick drones, curious electronics, and static noise.

Once upon a time there was a bin.
Filled with orphanaged soundsnippets from an artist who hesitated what to do with it. Along came a soundarchitect who just learned to behave more ecologically responsable. And so the bin was searched carefully, parts were scrubbed, put in a new home, chopped, treated, refined, remodelled and combined until 7 tracks came out.
The artist is Joanne Gabriel, the sounds are recycled by KraftiM. The titles are derived from the original tracknames and should be pronounced in french...

2010-07-17T17:31:00.005+04:00

"Trimurti", त्रिमूर्ति, or "three forms", is a concept in which the cosmic functions of creation, preservation, and destruction are personified by the forms of Brahmā the creator, Vishnu the preserver, and Śhiva the destroyer or transformer.

Trimurti, is a concept album based around these three forms. Each song is a dedication, a tribute, a sacrifice to these aspects of creation, preservation and destruction. Utilizing Sanskrit verses from ancient texts and mantras, the lyrics are kept in their original forms and in their original sincerity. Chanted in trance-like states, this is the state that the album attempts to re-create. Theta, theta, theta." - Yajna Vedana

2010 Notes by John Storm:

Ah...2004. A year of waves, babes, and heavily-armed enclaves. And in this turbulent time same a saviour: the first album by the now-legendary A Screaming Comes Across the Sky. What started as a true crusade, to destroy the infidels of bland indie pop (or possibly as a joke to spite a co-worker) blossomed, like the proverbial fungus, scattering its spores o'er the landscape of music until it would be damn hard to get out without going to the doctor. It woos you to know, dear reader, that at the end of the record is a recoding of the first-ever performance of the band, when at the time I was joined by two quite attractive women, at least far more so than Mr. Benjamin, not that he didn't have that little sumthin-sumthin himself, usually after the fifth scotch. At the end of the title track, I hurt myself by drinking some scalding soup. It's a scary world!

So here is a bunch of tracks I recorded on my several trips there.
I am sure next time I will come up with something more conceptual, but meanwhile I wanted to share a few local frequencies that are more like a sound diary of last summer.

Music for Controllers VI (A Stable Job is an Oxymoron)
this track was based on a field recording i made of my last day of work before my “fall break” at CSUF (a one-week non paid work furlough). a few days later i improvised over the recording of my commute (from highland park to union station) with some materials of an earlier piece i made last spring (not getting fired is the new promotion). when it was finished i felt it was a little too minimal and forgot about it until about a week ago and when i listened to it again i realized it pretty accurately captured my dread of what this financial disaster has become in my life.
interestingly enough on that was the same day on my commute home the conductor on my amtrak route told me that she had lost about 75 daily commuters between san diego and los angeles from a year ago and it was pretty sad how so few of us were left. i know for me there aren’t many part time faculty left in the music department at CSUF and at this point it’s can get pretty depressing whenever i think about all of my friends who are out of work.
probably a little TMI, but yeah… i guess it is a bit dark.
spoken word piece based on twitter RSS feeds on the keywords “fired” and “job”. parts of this piece were originally contained in the piece “not getting fired is the new promotion” (2009)
made using ableton live, novation launchpad, korg kaossilator, iphone (buddha machine, srutibox), text-2-speech, and a field recording (zoom H2) of my morning commute (metro goldline from heritage square to union station; los angeles, ca 10/15/2009 (10 min)” – Paul Bailey

"Risotto & Mushrooms, I Hope You Are Well, News and Tears are tracks composed in October/November 2009 ... memory of a meeting and a concert with MCVulcano, AQM Abhorrent and Beauty ... sounds refer to an atmosphere of intense knowledge and friendship, an exchange of lives in another possible world: the world of sounds.

Lullaby is a track composed in December 2009… an attempt to expand a quartet of violas and cellos…

Oh, my dear love! Is a sentimental research into sounds… each sound corresponds to a feeling ... eardrums at the heart arrhythmias, the claves to the crunch of bones, and sounds at the slow flow of emotions ... A meeting of love and destiny…

Requiem… I'm looking for music for my requiem mass ... I have no hurry to die… but I'm looking for a great trip sounds…

Noise with apparitions a return to improvisation and suffused noise of my youth, an underwater world of appearances into the warm of pink sound.

Carmina Britannica is a memory of others sounds... memories of the old decadent haze of romantic and depressive moments… Eardrums disconnect the depressive continuity of choir and electronic sounds… piano trying to recreate the moments that can not be brought back to life… amen!" - Gabran

"This album was dedicated to those days in our lives that we forgot because we thought they were irrelevant. This is meant to be heard by people who believe in magic and people who believe in stories. Chaos ensues. We shall not pray to any god, but to our own. We shall love people who dream and people who need a little more gasoline. Reject the beauty, before it dare rejects you." - Radio For The Daydreamers

Voiedge (a trip to the edges of the void?) with collected works from KraftiM made in 2007/2008. These tracks haven`t been released on Musictrade, On 3 tracks rhythmpatterns of dutch artist Justbase were used. Most tracks have a darkish doomy feel, but never without a sprinkling touch of hope. Haumter and Chursed are based on live cathedral recordings (the Zoom H4 makes wonders) but adapted on KraftiM's VST's. On Bearice you can hear one of the last Polar Bears begging for seals, Fratatag and Drong both contain monastery fieldrecordings.
