Comment: it is a grandeur miscellany of 14 pieces with a total amount of 107 minutes. The concept´s choice is to explore electronic and acoustic elements in one joint thread. Of course, frequently it goes beyond the aforementioned borders (for instance, providing spot more on drone, ambient and even rhythmic noise music) and this kind of exaggeration is fairly welcome. On the other side, the genre of electro-acoustic music is huge enough to wind quite differently from one brim to another. Some audible examples are abstract and restrained insights, some used to swell and go across exuberant pathways. At times the artists represented over there exploit concrete music samples to convey a more human-close touch to their compositions. There are up such artists as Thom Blum, Donika Rudi, Nicola Monopoli, Josè Luis Maire, Frank Ekeberg, Clèment Parmentier, [zygote], Gordon Delap, Gintas K., Lidia Zielinska, Nichola Scrutton, Christian Banasik, and Vanessa Sorce-Lèvesque. The compilation is a part of Thrmnphone.

/Electro-acoustics, Musique concrète, Organic electronica, Acousmatics, Avant-garde, Experimentalism, Minimalism/

Comment: such music can be called as "organic growing" where roughly looping electro-acoustic music is crossed with concrete sounds/street noise. The reason why it seems to be so cogent and relaxing is quite simple - all of that is reduced to the algorithms of minimal music. The environments around the lonely looping gear are incessantly in change thus constituting the sense of permanent became. All in all, let`s celebrate this moment.

iqcm para - Días Sonoros (2011)

8.8

/Noise, Harsh noise, Experimentalism, Avant-garde, Ritualistic/

Comment: On the macroscopic level, it is noise music. On the microscopic level, however, it used to be still noise music. Thudding, even threatening bass lines, looping snippets, warped sonic effects (which sometimes will resonate with surrounding street sounds), at times harsh white noise, and the pounding of martial drums all of that wrapped up in intensely fluttering sonic monoliths. All in all, as the whole and as the particles of it, all is impressively composed and channelized, resembling of a kind of the ritual music.
