SELF PROMOTION / v4w.enko+d'incise - AM.P.E.REM.EC (LP)

« on: September 23, 2012, 08:16:45 am »

v4w.enko + d'incise
AM.P.E.REM.EC
LP, 6 tracks, 37min, released with Everestrecords.

Details, preview & order http://www.dincise.net/LP.html

V4w.enko and d’incise collaboration is a pure product of the internet generation, they knew each others music far before getting really in touch. They’ve been both very present on the netaudio scene during the past years. They created this album, then later meet and played some concerts in Switzerland developing a different way, more based in improvisation, to generate their music. So the album is definitely home music, a fine tuning of ambient, glitches, electroacoustic, soft hisses and a slight touch of fragmented electronica.
Their music is about duality, of spaces, languages, focal points, always so close but never totally in contact.
The sounds are built from a contrasted proposition between automatic processing, algorithmic synthesis, cold demonstration of theories that are suddenly getting sensitive by a context of stochastic, organic, human mind related layers of acoustic sounds and underlines of delicate noises.
Thing happens separately and simultaniously, never in conflict, none having more value than the other, till reaching the point where the melt into one music.

SELF PROMOTION / d'incise "prairie" [Observatory, 2cdr, obs038]

« on: June 20, 2012, 09:56:56 am »

d'incise "prairie"
double cdr, 4 long minimalist-electroacoustic pieces on Observatory label.
http://abser1.narod2.ru/releases/obs_038/
I have some copies directly available [13chf, w.ship.incl.]
here, http://www.insubordinations.net/shop.html

disc1.1. what's wrong with a cowboy in Hamburg ?                             
disc1.2. éclats banquise                                                        
disc2.1. amplification of a number of points supposedly worthless
disc2.2. c'est ces choses là que nous enterrons

1.1 bassdrum, feedbacks [various vibrating/harmonic states of a drumskin], "what's wrong with a cowboy in Hamburg ?" (in "Der Amerikanische Freund", Wim Wenders, 1977). 1.2 vinyls, nails, plastic box, pick-up parasits and feedback [from moving mono to static stereo, orginally composed for a performance with Violetta Perra], "splinters floe" might be a poor translation. 2.1 many concerts recordings in various large spaces [amplification of the "silent parts"], I shall here thank all the friends and musicians one can hear fragments on this piece. 2.2 feedbacks, open piano, magnetic glitches, pre-amps, laptop and house noises, "c'est ces choses là que nous enterrons" (from a french translation of "O Esplendor de Portugal", Antonion Lobo Natunes, 1997, or perhaps from "A Ordem Natural das Coisas", 1992, not quite sure now), something like "it is these things that we bury".

When it gets boring it becomes interesting. (How far can one go with a very simple idea ?) Is there a point in time where the boredom mutate to something else ? (Not physchedelia, just new mechanisms). Mettre deux choses en regard. (The most so-called non-expressive is it still expressive somehow?) (I'm listen Sun Ra while writting this..."so the nothing and the air and the water and the fire are really the same --- upon different degrees"). I love this state of almost nothing happening, but in constant way, just like it looks almost immobile but not, like the continental drifting, (things take shapes "upon different degrees"). Is all of this an allegorie of myself ? (it sounds damn romantic then). "Of course it won't work. So what?" (from the english subtitles for "Angst essen Seele auf", Rainer Werner Fassbinder, 1974).

INSUB META ORCHESTRA
The IMO is a very large improvisors ensemble, founded in september 2010, It usually gather about 35 musicians per concert, from all switzerland and beyond.
From the, expected, mess of the first concerts emerged a collective consciousness and involvement from the impressive number of musicians included in this ambitious projet. After a year - and 7 concerts - 40 of them met during 3 day during the 2011 summer, marking a sensitive step in the orchestra progression. Working deeply a certain amount of pieces - concepts and conductions - appeared a new sound quality, a opening of the space, a fragility of the volume, a more electroacoustique, minimal, "concrète" direction. The orchestra started to think as an an emsemble, with multiple components but looking to projec! t ! a unique/co! mmon sound, to look for details, restr! aint, variable densities, breathes, drones, subbasses...
The alternation of "free" and "conducted" improvisation was from the begining a manner to test various pathes of collective operation. If this first record - first archive - contain mainly conducted pieces it's because at one time they were crucial about etablishing a common background into the orchestra, it resulted a definitive strenght allowing us now to play autonomously with far much accuracy.
The IMO, whom will have done 16 concerts more at the end of its second season, became, beyond the manifest gathering, a solid group and a experience open on an exciting future.

In a (very) short futur be ready for two releases, by Trigger (Chris Heenan, Matthias Müller, Nils Ostendorf) and Cyril Bondi & Phonotopy.

SELF PROMOTION / Honoré Feraille “au sud,”

« on: April 07, 2012, 04:18:46 pm »

Honoré Feraille is another new artist moniker for Geneva, Switzerland based experimental noise artist Laurent Peter. He records under a collection of different aliases and through several different projects including Diatribes, Heu{s-k}ach, Karst and perhaps the more familiar solo production pseudonym D’incise.

The first official excursion for this new project from an already well established artist is Au Sud, presented here on Audio Gourmet.
Here, the work of Honoré Feraille delves through the sorts of deep, dark and dense drone tapestries that have won the artist so much acclaim via the likes of D’Incise and his other collaborative projects.
As you would expect, the detail and sounds that comprise Au Sud, are meticulously constructed and unfurl carefully over the short duration of this two piece EP. Little more is specified as the artist allows the sounds to wander without purpose, free from order, structure and design

SELF PROMOTION / [insub.dlt01.cd] PLAISTOW Lacrimosa

[insub.dlt01.cd] PLAISTOW Lacrimosa

Two 20 minutes heavy post-jazz tracks, hypnothic and strong, introducing the new Insub Delta serie.

PLAISTOW:
Baptisés du nom d'un titre de Squarepusher, les trois jeunes musiciens franco-suisses jouent une musique indéfinissable. On croit tenir du jazz et ça dérape semi-électro. On accroche une mélodie et voilà qu'ils la déjouent dans de grands éclats métalliques. Un côté rock, un autre qui penche vers le minimalisme de Steve Reich et, au milieu, un groupe scénique singulier qui travaille, joue, cherche, creuse depuis cinq ans dans une terre encore vierge. Une découverte, une vraie.

“...Comme s’il n’y avait pas chez Plaistow d’à priori stylistique mais une exigence permanente: une approche libertaire de la musique associée à une esthétique de la profondeur, voire de la gravité.”
Denis Desassis, CitizenJazz


***

PLAISTOW:
Named after a song of Squarepusher, these three young musicians of French and Swiss origin play a music style which is hard to define. Thinking one is listening to jazz, the music suddenly mutates into semi-electro. One just managed to filter out a melody when it disintegrates into coarse, metalic splitters. Rock on the one side, on the other minimalism à la Steve Reich, and in the midst an highly willful trio which has been plugging and playing away in virgin soil the last five years: a genuine discovery.

“The music by the Swiss band Plaistow is often dubbed “post jazz”. However, what Plaistow actually does often defies genre definitions and could be anything from minimalism to improvisation.”
Vladimir Kozlov, The Moscow News

free mp3 & flac + limited cdr edition

At the end we have in our hands a journey into electroacoustic music, colored by the acoustic and improvised energy of "complainte de marée basse". It is pretty curious to ear how each musicians used the original material with very different concerns, according to their own usual practice. Some use them as "field recording", others work with sorts of "dub" remixing technics, some turned totally the sounds into their worlds without any attempt to keep a trace of the sources. And none of this sounds wrong, but in every case establishe dialogs between the reworks and originals, showing each time another vision of the role or value of "recorded sound".

SELF PROMOTION / [insubcd03] JONAS KOCHER solo

« on: May 03, 2011, 01:47:20 pm »

jonas kocher: accordion, objects

Recorder october 23rd 2010 at 'zoom in' Festival Bern
Recorded, mixed and mastered by Fabio Oehrli, Tonlabor.

Edited as 300 cds, screenprinted, 18x14cm.

free download & cd order,
http://www.insubordinations.net/releasescd03.html

Whereas his earlier solo record, "materials", was the result of a research work in studio, "solo" shows how Jonas Kocher brillantly uses his accordion in concert. His music caries in itself huge contrasts, between reserve and explosion, as if this dualitly was engraved in the back and forth bellows's mouvement. Alternations of low and high frequencies, slappings and breaths build a perfectly controlled form inside the improvised frame.

Cyril Bondi: drums, objectslaptop, objects
Rafal Mazur: acoustic bass guitar
Dragos Tara: one string bass, laptop

Recorded in Krakow, 07.07.2010

Diatribes, a strongly libertarian ensemble, began its existence in a Geneva basement in Winter 2004. Adapting the improvised and experimental music languages of today, the duo is highly reactive, dynamic, percussive and/or textured. Initialy a trio, diatribes became a polymorphous formation, accuratly incomplete, extending each time its spectrum with guest musicians, from freejazz to electroacoustic improv, from loud sound wall to intimistic acoustic details, crossing the road of Barry Guy, Keith Rowe, Jason Kahn, Jacques Demierre, Christian Weber, Ernesto Rodriguez, Tomas Korber, Jean Bord�, Mick Beck, etc, travelling through europe to create new entities, with Adbul Moim�me in Portugal, Hannah Marshall in Engla! nd, Rafal Mazur in Poland or HKM+ in Germany.
http://www.dincise.net/diatribeshttp://www.rafalmazur.eu/

Composer, double bass player and electronic musician, Dragos Tara spends his time between composition and improvisation. His musical and extra-musical collaborations are motivated by an interst in the game theory, the dive! rsion of social rituals and the extension of instrument and body by technology.

SELF PROMOTION / d'incise �Rivages sur l'antipode� (12'' LP)

« on: December 15, 2010, 09:57:55 am »

order: http://www.metamkine.com/?monlabelrec=1411
or http://www.a-musik.com/cart/catalog.php?label=4107&am_id=9fe7575724a52784f4ff4090fb4878af

His main method is sampling the hell out of anything. It perhaps also reveals a bit more what Lopez used, as that was rather a mystery back then. Percussive sounds from Indonesia for instance, which D'Incise explores these for the lowest, grainy textures, chopped up to form new rhythms, cut from 'real' sound and the hiss between. Ini.itu compares this with some of the older and more experimental releases on Mille Plateaux/Ritornell, and I can see that. It shares that somewhat crude approach to sampling, the click 'n cut approach musicians like Random Inc and Kid606 had back then, but D'Incise never comes close to playing any 'dance' related music. The textures are sometimes pretty 'vague', shimmering perhaps, but I think that kind of adds nicely to the record. Its probably the best record by D'Incise I heard so far. The compositions are worked out better, and never seem to take more time than necessary. Very nice. Two entirely different records, twice good. (FdW/Vital Weekly)
