Kamutao – Mondo Voyage (2013)
/Nu jazz, Sampledelic,
Hip-hop, Mood music, Exotica pop, Trip-hop, Cuban music, Downtempo, Cinematic/
Comment: similarly to a recently reviewed
album, Morriachi`s The Outer Sphere EP
(2011, Dusted Wax Kingdom) the Barcelona-based artist Kamutao affords for the
listener to say similar adjectives to describe the sound. The artist himself
describes his music as an example of travelling music (watch the title either!).
Indeed, his soothing, mostly jazz samples and loosely skidding rhythms based
print provides a good, sublime feeling for the melomans (and the travellers as
well). Of course, such kind of music is all about details and whitebaits and it
can be described as a permanent experiment to `pile up` different sonic bits to
figure out what will be happening with the listener`s sense and perception.
Undoubtedly this 18-track album is fairly emotive because of coquetting with
yearning whiffs and past loaded beauty. In a word, the album seems to be
full-fledged and convincing. The album is issued on a Mexico-based label, PIR▲.MD
Records.
23RedAnts – We Are Not Dead Yet (2014)
/Improvised music, Experimental
electronica, Drone, Glitch, Experimentalism, Live session, Avant-garde,
Electro-acoustic/
Comment: 23RedAnts is a duo from Vigo, Spain whose 2-track whole consists of setaceous cello
based drones and laptop supported electronic effects. In general, Macarena
Montesinos and Niet F-n`s music is a drift between silence and glitched-out
noise, between electronic wobbles and acoustic configurations, between grey penumbras
and clear-cut occurrences in sound, between superimposed torpor and unexpected
stings into the listener`s brain. Because of it these 14 minutes seem to be composed
of real and invisible, fictional patterns and perceptions.
Golgotha Communications Ltd. – Wine, Women and Song Pt2 (2014)
/Avant-garde, Avant-industrial, Microtonal, Experimentalism, Non-music, Musique concrète, Minimalism, Drone, Micronoise, Acousmatics, Psycho-acoustic/
Comment: Golgotha Communications Ltd. is a Philadelphia,
US-based collective, having been active since the mid-90s. Wine, Women and Song Pt2 is the second compartment of the Wine, Women and Song trilogy. There are
up three long-running compositions, the first of them, One, is made up of sizzling noises, microtonal parallel worlds,
demented vocal samples and dialogues etc. Despite its intensity it results in a
charmingly lethargic output due to the use of calming loop. However, by its
provocative and challenging manner and taking on some similar shifts in form
the combo´s result can be compared with another US-based legend Big City
Orchestra`s some works, for instance. Unarguably it is a “heavy” track due to
its schizoid nature. The following The
Erin Fraud represents remarkably more clear and sheeny sound sheets, though
the droning of it resounds signally louder and jarring but also in a majestic,
spaced-out and epic way. The notch represents decorously the storeyed tradition
of American drone and minimal music since La Monte Young. The result of the finishing
track Three is relatively similar to
the first one because of keep exploring obsessively on those glitch-filled
noises, though adding some concrete music morsels, chamber/neoclassical music
elements and ethnic singing to the melting pot. The development is open as if
would invite you to step into it. However, the last third of the track is
decidedly turned aside with the assistance of unison related singing and
rhythms which in turn would be mashed up and subjected to offset, elliptic
loops. All in all, Golgotha Communications Ltd`s score is wondrous and fascinating.
