Bing Satellites – Breathe - Sleep Music volume one (2018)



  • Ambient 
  • Minimalism 
  • Microtonal
  • Microsound 
  • Epic 
  • Abstract

Comment: Bing Satellites is the nom de plume of Mancunian Brin Coleman (also known behind such projects as Ethereal Ephemera, Kowalski Room, The Ambient Visitor, The Lovely Room, Theta Wave Orchestra) who is being known as a musician, producer, filmmaker and imprint owner (BFW Recordings which seems to be defunct now though). As Bing Satellites he has produced music similar to post-shoegaze/electronic shoegaze/indietronic/(neo)krautock artists ((Twilight Sessions Volume Eight (2011), The Dream (2013)), especially in the first half of the 10s, however, his late sound is based on distilled floaty soundscapes which likeably used to shift the listener's perception on time and space and sonorous perception in general. Breathe consists of just one, 79-minute composition which is as beatific as heaven above the clouds. Given that the less is more aesthetic then any turn and additional element to the soundscape brings forth a tectonic change even if it is perpetrated with barren abstract sounds like hums and hisses and electronic snippets stripped away from emotions and moody elements. The more one listens to it the more it turns into an immanent flow of transcendence and Brin Coleman is a best one excelling at. Superb.

  • Ambient 
  • Sound poetry

    Comment: I guess many people today are following as similarly the sites regarding the numbers of Coronavirus as they did before following the sport results of different leagues. The latter one does not include horror additionally to more or less perverse sort of excitement, though. The former one is followed with intention to get information of getting downward or getting permanently upward and upward and upward. Of course, it is relevant to stay at home and reading H.P. Lovecraft, for instance. El Color que cayó del Cielo (The Colour out of Space) consists of a couple of lengthy compositions made up of the storytelling and a murky soundscape backing in up. Slowed-down and warped cellos, awesome cathedral organ-drenched glimpes, merciless glacial flickers which are metastasized with throbbing crackles, quivering electronics and indecipherable vowel units created by Miguel Conejeros aka F600 whose music is to support Mauricio Garrido`s concept in words and visual art by following the formidable, and indirectly misanthropic vision of the horror legend. The indirect misanthropic concept can be interpreted as a downplayed, rather realistic state of human capabilities in a situation of catastrophe. We have no possibility to run away elsewhere. If you have a lot of bread you can buy an indulgence for a flight to Mars. As I said just the indulgence paper. Nothing more to get in a near future. As the same situation as in the Middle Ages (and we call it the Dark Ages, isn`t). We are nothing more than just bare scintillae on the scale of Outer Space. By talking about the virus there is another threat which may be the most subliminal and paralysing – it is not about the biochemical nature and determined pathological pattern of the Coronavirus it is also about the wisdom/singularity and adaptive behaviour of the disease. And if behind it is the Nature as an autarkic whole which woke up from hibernation after the human kind had crossed invisible red thread then what adverse will be happening next? Given that do you remember another classic Solaris by Stanislav Lem? The revengeful ocean as an autarkic whole? Of course, it is just a possibility, however, as possible as God sitting on a cloud or as an inveterate tippler in a bar (at Acid House).  All in all, a superb issue I guess for H.P. would have admitted.

    Comment: Warren Hildebrandt continues suggestively reflect upon his beloved Ontario (maybe Canada in general) through dreamy rays of sublime shoegaze and mellow electronica mixed indie pop compositions. If you think of what the hell is going on in this human centered world at the moment then one may go crazy and at least get nihilistic tendencies. The only possible way to get out of this mayhem/the city – the venomous apotheosis of the civilisation which will kill everything eventually). Instead of it one should reflect more upon imminent and beautiful subjects like the glorious nature. Blissful and solemn it is given that all those playful yet solemn shades in the very front between the trees of a forest massive/cathedral and shimmery flickers of a blue lake to arrive at a listener in his/her imagination. The strength of this 10-notch issue is an exquisite amalgamation of lo-fi/bedroom auteurism and high-end production capability which now and then is amplified up to a downright hypnotic reverie (A Softer World, Say Yes To Violence). Indeed, this album represents a sort of escapism but downright otherwise than did shoegaze artists three decades ago. As usual as Foxes In Fiction's albums in corpore the whole is a part of the discography of his own led Orchid Tapes.

    • IDM 
    • Experimental techno 
    • Experimental electro

    Comment: At Lastfm site of Songraphie it is said they are Ilya & Paul Bocharov, two young Russian producers who enjoy dismantle the structures of electronica cliché…the puppeteers of a toys theatre made of glitches, heavy compressed beats, low frequencies, and an incredible quantity of talent. Secondly, Toys was released on Zymogen, a first-rate Italian imprint being a dwelling place for such artists worldwide as Alessio Ballerini, offthehesky, Muhr, Nicola Ratti, Nicolas Bernier, Simon Trottier, Bacanal Intruder, D`incise, Takeshi Nakamura if to name approximately a half of the roster. From glitched-out electronic incantations and profound ambient looming to mischievous (electronic) folk and soporific fog-drenched modern classical music. Given that it must hint at the presumable quality of the Russian duo`s issue. Indeed, I have no objections at all by enjoying this 9-notch issue where over-reaching combinations in sound and rhythms are adeptly entwined with a tongue-in-cheek attitude. From exquisite IDM glass bead games and churning electro/chiptune gears and enchanting techno explorations to downstroked shuffles and iterative infantile loops which chime at times either in a primitive or funny way. After you have gotten a hand on its dimensions you can admit the outing is a splendid one.

    • Electro-rock 
    • Abstract 
    • Experimentalism

    Comment: I have always experienced a bit discomfort while stumbling upon the term "industrial rock" which is obviously a different case in comparison to "old school industrial", and "post-industrial". It is like an unfitting, unnecessary addition to the natural chain of the last mentioned ones given that free intention being adeptly exploited and wide sonic areas being craftily occupied. Industrial rock, on the contrary, seems like a bloody determined case to come up with some annoying configuration and channelize ideas in a way which might be in contradiction regarding the old school/the dawn of DIY cassette culture and new sonic radicals. In a word, a playful, provocative element got eradicated with a sort of embarrassing pathos through bloated guitars and unsavoury synth sounds (if to compare it to average delicacy of post-punk). In the mid-noughties NIN/Reznor had made some steps aside by releasing a couple of albums for free download and demonstrating sonorously some deviation from the usual sonic backbone. More experiments with dodges into abstract electronica/ambient (999,999, Corona Radiata), and obsessively staring yet ultimately panoramic rock outputs (The Four of Us are Dying). That's great due to the premiss and progressive path of the compositions. The rest of the 10-track issue is just industrial rock by numbers. That`s fine but not as suggestive as more experimental and hypnotic Ghost I-IV used to have.

    Comment: this 6-notch issue reminds me somehow of an early childhood while spending my summertime by a grandma when on evenings the train used to bypass at a distance of 4 miles away. There is something secretly buried and unveiled and achingly longing in these drones as if being filtered and phased on physical distance and emotive memories. The Portuguese trio's music interacts perfectly with the emotive side of a listener due to changing adeptly sounds from still to tumultuous, from silent to moderately penetrative. Beside the fact, the artist used to catch the attention on changing intervals between disparate intense sonic impulses and effects. It is truly interesting in spite of its slightly austere content. One can see elements coming inside out, and vice versa. The blissful outing on artistic terms is a part of the library of an imprint from the Netherlands, Moving Furniture Records (being a home for such feted artists as Merzbow, Machinefabriek, Frans de Waard among others). For Haarvöl, for sure, it is virtually the domestic records today. The trio will soon have issued a brand new one, Ridge Of Humming Spoils. On 24th of April 2020 on Moving Furniture Records.

    Comment: Nac/Hut Report is an uncompromising duo from Poland whose intention is to explore intrinsic value of noise rock and improvised noise. If you think of Sonic Youth and especially their more experimental offshoot projects and collaborations then you could properly imagine it. Abrasive guitar noises and spasmodic squalls are incessantly varied with sublime yet more or less oppressed melodies and broken harmonies – due to reminding of the main idea of My Bloody Valentine's Loveless. At the same time those melodies used to get vivid thanks to harmonies created by Brigitte Roussell's sensual murmurs and vowel effects. Is it powerful sex or just a restrained seedy caress? Throughout the 9-notch course this is the main knot which is about to produce swirling energy, bitter sweat, bittersweet pain and lucid nightmares squaring off in the middle of a deafening hell. The astounding issue is a part of the discography of Crunchy Human Children. One of the most preeminent albums in the new decade.

    Comment: a crazy issue by a crazy imprint called Lepers Produtcions. Both come from Italy, a country being now severely exhausted by the damned Coronavirus. Back then approximately 9 years ago all was sunshiny and joyful yet like this dada-inspired and math rock and noise rock-molded issue used to represent for (by watching the cover print one can find out very relevant appearances on the recent issue, though). All used to rustle and hop with convulsive staccato structures and interrupted sonic lines and vocal shrieks and agitated singing being obviously influenced by punk funk and No Wave movement and some Tzadik Records related daring crossover outputs with hints at free jazz and improvised music and noise. In a word, it is a powerful shift between an impressive format and overcoming emotive content.

    • IDM 
    • Synth-pop 
    • Glitchtronica 
    • Glitch techno 
    • Experimental techno

    Comment: similarly to a recently reviewed album, Potential DifferenSe's Coinchain, which was analogously a part of the discography of COTA303 (and also Russian act), this batch of 9 tracks is also a mix of IDM, synth-pop, and techno. In comparison to the aforementioned album it is more tumultuous, it is more churned-up due to swirling glitches and microscopic noises at the bottom of tracks. At the same time one can relax due to spaced-out progressions at the top of melodic thread, for example, at Sustained In Galossum. Additionally, it can be said it is a bit more distanced from the motorik Krautrock vibe a la Neu!. Behind this astounding issue is a Russian electronic musician Ilya Bitekhtin having been active since the beginning of the 10s.

    Comment: this set of a couple of tracks is a work by a Switzerland-based duo who have been making music for some decades with intention to take disparate styles and mix them up to bring forth weird forms of music. Indeed, by listening to it one can admit it by recognising the phrase "grande finale" which is appropriate today and may be very appropriate in future and enjoying churning dusty organ-led improvisations full of acid, dizzy threads and intermittent primitive rhythmic patterns. All the supposed professionalism is deliberately stripped away to provokingly spit toward the so-called established acts and boasting vanity within. The release is a part of the library 20kbps, a leading lobit music imprint.

    Comment: there are no easy times for the human race at the moment regarding this aggressive Coronavirus. It is also about hesitation and fear of having no knowledge what amount of havoc and temporal span it would further embrace. Especially for Europe and particularly for Italy. Fabrizio Bozzi Fenu comes from the country, the island of Sardinia which has been a place for experimental music acts some I have met thanks to a great imprint, La bél. Sant'Andrìa, the 9-notch release is an exciting part of the discography of Plus Timbre due to manipulating with extended guitar chords, up and down patterns, microscopic noisy bugs and subliminal electronic sounds. In other words, one can imagine a stoned blues man who has abandoned playing on common keys and instead of it deconstructing the style with the help of an amount of unfathomable electronic and technological possibilities (by facing possibly a problem of choice). Indeed, the artist used to create a very personal universe at his own disposal by slipping in and out the elements. As an Italian artist he cannot do away with adding shards of beauty to the mix (for instance, Anima). Undoubtedly one of the most preeminent albums so far in 2020.

    Comment: Sankt-Peterburg-residing, Russian Ivan Luchkin aka Potential DifferenSe's 5-notch outing is a dynamic tight blend of intricate techno, mellifluous IDM, and melodic synth-pop drives. Retrospectively it does mean hinting back at the glorious tradition of obsessively beatific motorik krautrock vibe a la Neu!. Yeah, the whole is trance-inducing and at the same time somehow inhibitory due to its deliberately interrupted and hopping nature. The great outing is a part of the imprint COTA 303.

    Comment: this 7-track outing comes out of the discography of Maetrixsolution being an instance of supersonic electro the way of which being paved by motorik krautrockers and synth-led post-punkers and rhythms deconstructing alchemists. Beyond that the admission of the fact of existing hefty neokrautrockers, indie electronic artists and IDM musicians in the beginning of the 00s may have been influencers before a new hype of the New Weird scene did embark on (of whose more peripheral artists were also partially influenced by the aforementioned compartments). And additionally, the club scene with rattling broken beats, rusty jungle, deep house incantations and gritty sped-up cadences to provide a perfect, seamless smorgasbord of then tendencies approximately 15 years ago. At the time house and jungle were going out of mode but this album is a successful attempt to rehash the styles.

    Comment: Marco Lucchi's 3-notch outing Mater Natura continues elongating the glorious tradition of Italian ambient and contemporary/modern classical music. More profoundly, it chimes in a highly spirited and mysterious manner with the aid of lengthy chords and little yet tectonic changes within lengthy compositions. The lengthy chords are accentuated and stretched even more due to indecipherable female vowels and gravity rejecting easiness. Just coming in and going out as if a panoramic soundtrack to a picturesque documental movie about Earth and the act of Creation. It is all about where mundane and divine amalgamate into one another to become a seamless whole. At least by Marco Lucchi's side it is very possible. The release is a part of the discography of Webbed Hand.

    Comment: 12 years ago there was panic due to economic depression, there was panic pertaining to swine flu. In a word nothing has changed for better or worse if to compare it to the recent time. What could be predicted for a near future? It might be the world, our beautiful planet called Earth unveils its primal and more mystical and envious side with the aid of its primordial beings like bacteria, reptiles and trees being accompanied by destructive weather conditions to severely punish relatively juvenile yet arrogant species, first of all, a primate called the human being. We will see the superior frightening wisdom of them. They cannot stand for a stupid ape anymore.
    Maybe all is triggered because of the absence of Crimson Muddle's music which had produced off-kilter artsy punk inspired chamber and classical music by showing the human being's ability to step aside from inferior clichés and moronic patheticness sometimes. All seems to be sustained all seems to be fucking dying, there is no ebbs and tides anymore – such frenetic juggernauts and mad idealists as Mark E. Smith, and Jared C. Balogh are also gone forever. Could you imagine a cover of Joy Division being brought forth by a convulsive art group in the vein of a mutant Kronos Quartet? Or a Vaudeville-soaked playing the fool on the base of catabolic piano arrangements and string hooks? Or hysterical operatic singing accompanied by a needle-sharp drum machine cadence and a layer of drunken cellos atop? Metabolism reversible? Here it is as a part of the library of Zorch Factory Records.

      Comment: it is a soundtrack based on the running of nimble crackles and hollow rattling, it is a tribute to sonic elements which usually are removed from a track and an issue as sonic errors. It might be one can hear such sound if the head of her tape recorder is severely screamed or loosely bound to the tape player. Maybe it is the way this 8-track outing is recorded in fact. I tagged it as improvised music although I am not sure is it either improvised or is it music at all. Maybe it is an indecipherable conversation between the trees and plants or aliens giving no heck for the human beings about their future to be foreseen. These aliens can freely be singular artificial intelligence devices who play out their intruding plans on the rough sounds. The outing is a part of the discography of 8 ravens.
