Morriachi – The Outer Sphere EP (2011)
/Nu jazz, Micro jazz, Mood
music, Hip-hop, Downtempo, Trip-hop, Cinematic, Sampledelic/
Comment: Morriachi`s 10-track issue seduces by stealth rather than by grand gestures. Indeed, it used
to move on across a pathway in a silent way made up of miniature but smoky jazz
samples, some hip-hop wobbles and wonky downtempo induced rhythms. Furthermore,
the artist shows up repetition as a musical instrument. The issue seems to be
creepy and contrasty filled with half-majestic, half-horrendous progressions
thereby affording another meaning to the whole. Very good.
HIJ▲ – No (2012)
/Alternative rock, Baroque
pop, Avant-garde, Shoegaze, Experimental pop, Indietronica/
Comment: Mayra Yasmin Harazatey aka HIJ▲is a
frenetic chic from Argentina whose 5-track issue is a hectic amalgamation of
hirsute guitar progressions, psychedelic synthesizers, warped and uncanny electronics,
mutant vocals and sonic/stereo effects and bristled baroque-alike dodges and panoramas.
Stylistically her spectre extends from shoegaze and blues-induced slaps to more
dada influenced cabaret music. However, at times her soundscape will be calmed
down speaking in the language of murmurs and through the interaction of lone
chords (the first half at No Te Creas).
By kindred souls there can be drawn parallels upon the likes of PJ Harvey, Laurie
Anderson, Maja Ratkje, and Juana Molina, for instance. It is cutting edge for
sure.
Black Gold 360, DJ Fontana – Roasted & Filtered - DJ Fontana Remixes (2009)
/Glitchtronica, Big beat, Alternative
dance, Remix, Improvised music, Cinematic, Downtempo, Free jazz, Nu Jazz/
Comment: 2419 Record is an intriguing label
because of providing very diverse musical examples and alternatives in its vast
discography. For instance, this 8-track issue stretches out sonorous tentacles
in various directions – from exuberant orchestrated and chopped funky rhythms
and suggestive ethnic instrument-based undercurrents and laidback jazzy
soothers to clearly cinematic nu/acid jazz propulsions and glitched-out rhythm
structures and tumultuous free jazz explorations. Furthermore, the album
frequently chimes like a mash-up experiment saturated from energy coming out of
quite different slots and peripheries. Indeed, it is a refreshing and punching
one for your pleasure.
George R. Powell - Legend of Zelda_Majora's Mask: Then the Healing Came OC ReMix (2014)
/Neoclassical, Soundtrack,
Epic, Remix, Alternative, Game music/
Comment: these 200 seconds are fabulous ones –
full of epic, film score-alike ascensions, sublime expansions and delicately
murky glides. The remix comes out of such site as OcreMix which main topic is
dedicated to chiptune/tracker music though this time the progressions used to be
very far away from the style. The tracks` style reminds me of another American Nicholas Kirk`s
handwriting who has been closely related to Whitestone Motion Pictures. The Ninendo game`s original music was created
by Koji Kondo, and Toru Minegishi.
