Much of Flynts discourse applies to the music of Glen Steenkistes Hellvete. Over the past twenty years he has been thoroughly investigating both the ethnic musical language of various regions as well as the contemporary pioneers that preceded him as a drone musician, internalizing concepts such as e.g. deep listening or just intonation. Casting off any redundant ideas or sounds, and stripping down the focus to develop singular concepts, his working method lead to pieces such as Droomharmonium, in which he shapes the endless variations on a theme, emphasizing detail and nuance rather than multitude. The Indian harmonium here serves as the main device to worship ancient ghosts and masters, and to preserve a continuum in a tradition that touches both folk and avant-garde culture. The materialisations are sustained tone compositions which become a means of appreciation of the people and cultures that paved the way for forms of mutual escapism. This might well be the core of what Hellvetes music is about. As much as it is a form of self-entertainment - like folk music in the old days - it also invites the listener to a shared experience of sonic reverie, it is a casual gift to the community.

PRETTY LITTLE GIRL 2:03 (Note : transparent green & black reissue LP on Aguirre) Originally released in 1981 and now getting a re-issue on transparent green and black vinyl, Slow Music was an inspired collaboration between the now-deceased British jazz saxophonist Lol Coxhill and former Mott The Hoople member Morgan Fisher. Featuring extensive use of tape delays and other studio treatments, it became a huge influence on a generation of Japanese experimental artists. CD Cherry Red CDMRED 537 ?

Any coherent sense of time departs early on the A-side; kicked off with the familiar sound of the Dobes' synth throb and Love-cry woodwinds on top of completely fried electric guitar squiggling, all suspended in spiritual foam; then battered to bits on the greasy flat top of the record's b-side. Ringing modular synth sirens evoke alarmingly huge Southern watersnakes swimming on top of Oconee river. Total trip zone across two sides: brownouts in the sequence of events, dubby fadeouts, and bright jump cuts in space. Teases of cartoon barrlehouse tickling on the keys of a farmhouse piano and tape melt psychedelia. The recording session in Athens, Georgia was a total "CHUGFEST" recalls Frank Hurricane, the Appalachian juggalo folkie king, who joined the session with the Lafayette, Indiana crew. The presence of Hurricane's own "Life is Spiritual" mirth bulworks the record with a muddy, barefoot hippy hopefullness, steadying the log flume through the notcturnal psychic murk toward the holy morning dew.

The combined cinematic vision jettisons listeners through a psychedelic wormhole far beyond the usual perception of known audio latitude. Aguirre Records has gone all out to inject this tribal dino DNA double slab of wax presented as twelve expansive and mesmerizing tracks of historical mutations linking early communication developments with speculative astrobiological impressions heard as mysterious & riveting melodies that wash over dizzying percussive styles and suspenseful ambience. A variety of unexampled sounds take shape throughout as tectonic tablature, reptilian choral movements, bubbling bioluminescence, tube calls, orogenic bells, crustacean chatter, lost continent scales, high plains drifting riffs, and primordial soup lapping splashes revealing to listeners a living mural that is A Morphology of Wonders'.

LA GRIMA PART I 21:14 02. LA GRIMA PART II 20:39 Famed free jazz concert registration of an early New Direction for the Art performance. Recorded in 1971. Old-style Gatefold LP, with rare photographs & extensive liner notes by Alan Cummings. The performance by Takayanagi Masayuki New Direction for the Art at the Genyasai festival on August 14, 1971 was an intense, bruising collision between the radical, anti-establishment politics of the period in Japan and the febrile avant-garde music that had begun to emerge a few years before. The ferocious performance that you can hear here was received with outright hostility by the audience, who responded first with catcalls and later with showers of debris that were hurled at the performers. Takayanagi though described the groups performance to jazz magazine Swing Journal as a success, "an authentic and realistic depiction of the situation". https://www.sonic.nl/mailing/013upcsh.htm --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ZORN 064 TIBOR SZEMZO SNAPSHOT FROM THE ISLAND LP 11.2020 01.

SURFACE TENSION 9:50 Fully immersive electronic music by US composer Maggi Payne, inspired by the arctic winds. Maggi Payne's sound worlds invite the listeners to enter the sound and be carried with it, experiencing it from the inside out in intimate detail. The sounds are almost tactile and visible. The music is based on location recordings, with each sound carefully selected for its potential-its slow unfolding revealing delicate intricacies-and its inherent spatialization architecting and sculpting the aural space where multiple perspectives and trajectories coexist. With good speakers, some space in your schedule, and a mind-body continuum willing to resonate with Paynes electroacoustic journey, but then it will take you to places that other music cant reach. From the sounds of dry ice, space transmissions, BART trains, and poor plumbing she immerses the listener in a world strangely unfamiliar. Maggi Payne is a composer, video artist, recording engineer, photographer, and flutist and is Co-Director of the Center for Contemporary Music and a faculty member at Mills College, in the San Francisco Bay Area. http://www.sonic.nl/sonic_nl/mailing/009upcsh.htm --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ZORN 67 MAGGI PAYNE AHH-AHH LP 03.2020 01.

HIKARI 8:55 Originally composed by Maggi Payne between 1984-1987 for the performance group Technological Feets. Formed by video artist Ed Tennenbaum in the San Francisco Bay Area in 1981, the group combines dance, live video processing and music. Ahh-Ahh was first released in 2012 on Root Strata. Composed on an Apple II computer & various early sampling devices, Payne's compositions are a vibrant response to the call from the moving body. Populated with buoyant pulses, graceful analogue swells, dense fog-like drones and cascading rhythms that shift in space, AHH-AHH is a vital document of not only these early collaborations, but of computer based music as well. She studied with many greats in the field, including Gordon Mumma, Robert Ashley & David Berhman. http://www.sonic.nl/sonic_nl/mailing/009upcsh.htm --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ZORN 68 RANDALL McCLELLAN : THE HEALING MUSIC OF RANA VOL.1 2LP 09.2021 LP 1 A Sirius I 20:35 B Sirius II 20:37 LP 2 C Celestial Lake I 20:30 D Celestial Lake II 20:23 (Note : double LP , 500 copies) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ZORN 69 RANDALL McCLELLAN : THE HEALING MUSIC OF RANA VOL.3 LP 09.2021 A Solarwind Play 21:32 B Crystal Morning 23:17 (Note : LP , 500 copies) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ZORN 70 BLOD LIVETS ORD 2LP 09.2020 01.

On their debut LP "Temidden Laaghangende Wolken" they are joined by percussionist and improv-veteran Dirk Wachtelaer (Pablo's Eye/Vanishing Pictures), who locked with De Blonde and Ameel's post-reality continuum during a recording session at Les Ateliers Claus in Brussels. In this new trio format, The Begotten weaves a stripped-down set of after-hours, trancey observations on keys, baritone guitar and drums. Neon-lit bars are named Le Kheops or 60 Moons, streets are soaked in sheets of rain, people are staring at tax sheets and comets pass by unnoticed. Dub with tears; "Temidden Laaghangende Wolken" is the perfect backdrop of a strongly medicated game of Manillen during a 'Derrick' rerun.

MYSTERIOUS DELIRIOUS FLUKE OF THE BEYOND 02. ABIDE IN SUNSET 03. DOLPHIN CAVE DAZZLING 04. CABIN 05. IN EX OR ABLE 06. A LUCKY STONE With Natural Information Abrams entered a new phase of his musical life, extending an invitation to the trance, where time intersects with timelessness. He carried with him a wealth of playing and listening experience. As a bass player he had worked with a host of notable musicians including guitarist Jeff Parker and percussionist Hamid Drake, and had been a member of back porch minimalism outfit Town And Country and the improvising trio Sticks And Stones. The guimbri is a shaping presence on this remarkable recording, but Abrams also plays bass, bells, kora, sampler and synthesizer. Sympathetic friends including guitarist Emmett Kelly, vibraphonist Jason Adasiewicz and drummers Frank Rosaly and Nori Tanaka join him for the project. They set out not to contrive some neat hybrid but to enable coordinated energies and enriching influences to pulse and flow through living, breathing music. Ten years further into a century seemingly dedicated, as Toffler foresaw, to the survival of the fastest, the deep involving groove of Natural Information seems still more relevant, more illuminating, more vital. Joshua Abrams first Natural Information album from 2010, superb avant-jazz, newly remastered at Dubplates & Mastering and released in an edition of 999 copies on 180gr. http://www.sonic.nl/sonic_nl/mailing/043upcsh.htm --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ZORN 73 JOSHUA ABRAMS REPRESENCING LP 12.2020 01.

PLANH DE LA MADALENA Double album in gatefold sleeve with artwork by Elodie Ortega. In co-production with La Novia & released in an edition of 500. The Jericho project is fully in line with the approach of the La Novia collective from which it originates, a hub for like minded musicians reinventing regional folk repertoires, marrying traditional French song with minimalism via the use of drone. Jericho is just one of many available permutations of La Novia members, with the line-up including Yann Gourdon, Clment Gauthier, Jacques Puech and Antoine Cognet - you could say its La Novias flagship, or super-group. There are no dramatic stylistic shifts here, this is a story of gradual evolution within parameters that Jericho, and La Novia, have set for themselves. That also applies to their interpretation of individual songs, which are largely traditional. https://www.sonic.nl/mailing/013upcsh.htm --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ZORN 77 O YUKI CONJUGATE EQUATOR 2LP 08.2021 LP 1 A1 Insect-Talk 6:41 A2 Sunchemical 6:01 A3 Gathering Shadows 5:08 A4 Skinned 3:04 B1 Equation 4:41 B2 Shintone 1:52 B3 Mansoases 5:14 B4 Umbra 2:40 B5 False Prophet 6:48 B6 200ft Vertical Wall 1:06 LP 2 C1 Departure 7:31 C2 Slight Return 2:48 C3 Roseland 8:55 D1 False Prophet (Original) 5:14 D2 Equatorial 4:25 D3 Fleshtones 4:05 D4 Tegen Tonen 2:12 D5 A Gap Between Two Worlds 3:44 (Note : 2LP , 500 copies on smokey clear vinyl) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ZORN 78 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ZORN 79 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ZORN 80 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ZORN 81 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ZORN 82 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ZORN 83 SEIKATSU KOJYO IINKAI : SEIKATSU KOJYO IINKAI LP 05.2022 01.

Old-style Gatefold LP, with rare photographs & liner notes by Alan Cummings. Following hot on the heels of the first, mid-sixties generation of Japanese free jazz players like Kaoru Abe, Masayuki Takayanagi, Yosuke Yamashita, Motoharu Yoshizawa, etc., an exciting second wave of younger players began to emerge in the seventies. Two of its leading members were the saxophonist Kazutoki Umezu and multi-instrumentalist Yoriyuki Harada. Both were post-war babies and immigrants to the city, Umezu from Sendai in the north and Harada from Shimane in the west. They first met as students in the clarinet department at the Kunitachi College of Music, a well-known conservatory in western Tokyo. Harada was already securing sideman gigs on bass with professional jazz groups and was active in student politics, making good use of his connections to set up jazz concerts on campus. It was around this time that the two began to play together in an improvised duo, with Umezu on clarinet and bass clarinet and Harada on piano. They also experimented with graphic scores and prepared piano. https://www.sonic.nl/mailing/013upcsh.htm --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ZORN 84 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ZPRN 85 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ZORN 86 IGNATZ I LIVE IN A UTOPIS 2LP 05.2022 01.

I LIVE IN A UTOPIA (2) 4:12 08. THE UPSIDE DOWN WORLD 9:12 09. WAITING FOR THE TAXI 8:17 Double album in gatefold sleeve with artwork by Zully Adler. In co-production with House Rules & released in an edition of 500. This sprawling collection by Belgian loner blues savant Bram Devens aka Ignatz encapsulates the mystery, murk, and melancholy of his uncanny craft at its most windswept and wayward. Originally issued via Goaty Tapes in September of 2015, this long-anticipated vinyl edition expands the saga with an additional 17 minutes of archival material. Devens palette remains constant throughout: feathery fingerpicking, modal loops, and intuitive six-string navigations interspersed with candlelit passages of mournful voice, alternately whispered, mumbled, moaned. His is an aesthetic of embers and resin, cracked masks and distant lights, of whats left behind and what lingers on. I Live In A Utopia was recorded following a relocation from his longtime base of Brussels to Landen, with a second child due soon: "I remember the weather being nice and having just bought a hammock." The change of scenery seeded a promise of slower days and lighter times - no utopia perhaps, but a sense of faint hope glowing on the horizon. The songs slide between loose acoustic spirituals and smoky basement ragas, late afternoon haze and midnight moons, a seesawing restlessness reflected in the titles ("I Have Found True Love," "Time Does Not Bring Relief," "We Used To Smoke Inside"). The fidelity is grainy but vivid, refracted by tape warp and Flemish dust. https://www.sonic.nl/mailing/013upcsh.htm --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ======================================================================================= SSH 001 LA MONTE YOUNG/MARIAN ZAZEELA/THE THEATRE OF ETERNAL LP 03.2016 MUSIC : DREAM HOUSE 78' First reissue.
