Muhr :: poussière


:: j'aime la poussière que produit Muhr, comme j'aime ou avais très (trop) discrètement aimé "drames et précipices" l'an passé chez Zymogen. Etonnant comme parfois, dans une sorte de sursaut d'égoïsme, on tente de camoufler des impressions, un sentiment, de peur de devoir en rendre compte. Muhr est de ces artistes pour lesquels l'on réserve toujours une place (confortable) en son jardin secret. Entrez-donc tranquillement dans "an end to none but to all that is still", et laissez-vous engourdir par cette harmonie scintillante où le ton y est certes grave et apparemment introspectif mais, jamais avec désillusion. Cette quiétude générale perdure encore pour "Dead leaves" mais avec ce crissement soutenu en forme de matièralisation sonore et l'apparition d'une lointaine nostalgie, renforçant la quasi réalité de l'édifice. "quiet words and forgotten trees" amorce une solidification en un tempo-écho aux stridences bruitistes et un désir lyrique rapidement maitrisé. Pièce maitresse du dispositif, "les rêves sont des poussières du possible" se décline en particules fines, rhizomiques et suspendues, sculpture immatérielle en quête de réponses. "la gouache des temps" qui referme 'poussière' ne sera pas cette réponse attendue, car en joueur avisé, Muhr y dévoile une ultime espièglerie, une molécule de suspence qui vous fera très (trop) discrètement désirer une prochaine visite au jardin secret.

various artists :: autumntronics

01: lopazz - right in your face
02: jürgen frey - first 17
03: elfish echo - terrarism #02
04: marco lucchi - (as riddled as) the tide
05: alex cortex - slanting roof jam
06: night-time epitome - sinreja
07: 8m2stereo - bea
08: celer - climate change
09: bad cop bad cop - à bientôt

combined with our calendar news about Alex Cortex contribution to ::the questionnaire project, is this compilation for pathmusick - A release far from any sad and bucolic autumnal walks in some forest full of orange, brown make-up and sinister chestnut. Tasty at his best, great tracks (see immense such as the opening "right in your face" of Lopazz) succeeding to other impressive atmospheric collaborations or even strong industri...ous tendencies.
some great art to tastes adaptation. highly recommended!

Zainetica :: future 740

comment :: a very interesting release is that "Future 740" of Zainetica - figure of an electronica,from now, a bit old stylish, Mark Streatfield seems to turn its glance to a new musical imagery under soft technopop influence, since it is unfortunately as the way we qualify the incidence of Neu! and Kraftwerk, and intelligently avoiding the traps from any synthetic digression of a certain idm scene.
The result ? Clearly, the best realization ever carried out by Zainetica.
The proof is done, a called into question is always fortuitous - compliments !

Raw N^D :: toy ep

Pure abstracts forms dissolved in a sub-philharmonic orchestral sinking. ‘V tvoj mirok probralas\’ zima’ which opens this first release of Raw n^d is clearly indicating the way of dark impressionist meanders, without however, never rocking in the glaucous and cinematographic pathos of many alleged Indus artists - “Li56” with its illusory frankness, have some difficulties to mask a perfect arithmetic under fine old school influence (Throbbing Gristle for “Vantuuso Cherv`!!”)... and finally yes, the whole has is been useful with a talent which does not have anything illusory.

krill.minima :: urlaub auf balkonien

Difficile de décrire la tranquille addiction que suscite chaque réalisation de Martin Juhls avec son projet Krill.Minima. Une fois encore, «’Urlaub Auf Balkonien’ ne déroge en rien à cette règle d’or. Entre envie d’un possible mouvement des êtres et des choses, et irrépressible promesse d’un "blottissement" (du verbe pronominal 'se blottir') cotonneux et langoureux, le choix est âpre.
Seule certitude, le musicien de Dortmund fabrique d’indispensables philtres.

Anderson Hoffmann :: one-people projects

One-people projects … with a “s” explores the different (dark) sides of the talented Anderson Hoffman – this “s” corresponds to 3 main releases of the Brazilian musician collected by the very effective netlabel, clinical archives. First extracts are from "violated animal rights” two main and serious soundscapes for a noble cause. Two tracks are also extracted from a project called “keygen”, quite symptomatic of a large interest for the hammering and the mental gimlet (our favourites’). The ep is closing on 2 pieces representing the colder side of Anderson, a colder side presented as a mix influences of ebm and Indus, but as main “genre repulsive” I should probably say that the dance floor temptation is far to be the worst idea of this One-people.
