Surrent and A Useful Idiot - Videodrone (2009)



9.4

/Space rock, Post-rock, Experimental rock, Avant-rock/

Comment: this album was issued on Modicum Of Silence, the recording label which has publicated a lots of releases by artists who are particularly related to State Ohio. It might be the most famous artist appeared under their umbrella is Brothertiger, the chillwave/glo-fi representative. Stylistically there are represented the demarcation of post-metal, experimental/avant-electronica, glo-fi, free folk, innovative post-rock, whimsical indie rock, and conceptual/sound art. However, this set of 7 notches concerns a kind of experimental rock journey which is imbued with spacey, delayed layers of guitar chords and repetitive patterns-loops surrounded by resonating space around it. Sometimes the layers are pronounced by some signal-alike reverberations originating in barges and the analogue synthesis and treatment of electronica, thus approaching rather to the realm of avant/experimental electronic music. In conclusion, it is a spiritual appearance indeed.

Richard Lainhart - Introduction to Analog Synthesis (2012)



10.0

 /Lecture, Sound synthesis, Conceptual, Music/

Comment: Introduction to Analog Synthesis was a lecture performed at the Pocono Skies festival at the Shawnee Playhouse, Pennsylvania, USA in the Pocono mountains in the Spring of 2010. This one-off festival featured performances, collaborations, workshops and lectures over the two day festival weekend. Richard Lainhart presented this lecture Saturday afternoon May 16th, 2010 to a crowd of enthusiastic synthesists and electronic musicians. More profoundly, the particular constituents, basic parts and technics (sine waves, amplifiers, amplitude, sawtooth waves, envelope effects, oscillators, the types of noise and sonic filters, square wave, pitch effects etc) of sound synthesis are showcased throughout the course of a hour, however, all these details are exemplified by the sounds of soft synths which do emulgate exactly the sounds of analog synthesizers. However, the listener is backed up by hints of how to produce electronic music. A label, called Ethereal Live, dedicated the issue in honour of Richard Lainhart (February 14, 1953 - December 30, 2011). Mandatory by any senses.

krill.minima - Urlaub Auf Balkonien (2007)


8.7

/Dub-tech, Experimental electronica, Dubtronica, Tech-dub, Crossover/

Comment: by my opinion, this set of 9 notches takes on a journey through grey-tinged landscapes which are covered with essentially thick dub vapour and hazy electronic whiffs at any point of the location of the issue. The compositions are lengthy and profound, though, being without any suggestive turns and striking forays. Instead of it the subject is up there to be manipulated through soothing currents and discursive oscillations which foray into the subconsciousness of the listener.
