Dust Volume Nine, Number Nine

Body/Head

The days are getting shorter, so why not a few more short reviews from Dusted writers?  This month we cover a pretty wide swath of possible musics, from tech death to ambient electronics to improvised guitar duets.  Contributors included Jonathan Shaw, Tim Clarke, Bryon Hayes, Ray Garraty, Jennifer Kelly, Andrew Forell, Bill Meyer and Ian Mathers. 

Acausal Intrusion — Panspsychism (I, Voidhanger)

Acausal Intrusion continues its journey from the extremes of utterly demented tech death (see the band’s first LP, Nulitas) to this most recent version of the band’s sound. To be sure, Panpsychism still disturbs and confounds, but you can track the progression of song forms through most of the record’s eight tracks, and when the needle lifts at the close of “The Beauty Within,” you will likely be able to locate your extremities in physical space. Your mind? That depends. You can get pretty lost in the twists and inversions in the middle section of “This Inward Separation,” and “Molecular Entanglement” works pretty hard to deliver on its title’s premise (hold on tight through the tune’s second half…). Still, these new songs are much more interested in creating interesting riffs and repeating them than in turning the structures of temporality inside out. It may be telling that the longest track on Panpsychism is called “Pillar of Rationality.” Is Acausal Intrusion becoming invested in cause-and-effect relations? Only time will tell — assuming you can figure out which way time is running after giving this record a spin.

Arrowounds — The Slow Boiling Amphibian Dreamstate (Lost Tribe Sound)

The Slow Boiling Amphibian Dreamstate by ARROWOUNDS

Back in March, Arrowounds’ In the Octopus Pond cast a spell that’s been hard to shake. In my Dusted review I wrote, “Though there are plenty of precedents for what Chamberlain is doing here, there’s a cohesive vision to this record that proves intoxicating.” This follow-up, the aptly titled The Slow Boiling Amphibian Dreamstate, also has a cohesive vision, but one that’s much darker and more abstract than its predecessor. Aside from a distant muted rhythm on opener, “All Life Dissolved in the Deep,” this is a largely beatless album, with ambient textures brought to the fore. For the majority of these 45 minutes, very little happens at all, aside from the looming of unsettling reverberations, throbbing bass tones and modulated sounds that could be the buzzing of flies. There’s the feeling that something ritualistic is unfolding in the shadows, something that may prove to unleash malignant forces. It’s certainly an evocative listen, but one that requires patience and the casting aside of any preconceived expectations. This one’s all about the atmosphere.

Tim Clarke

Blood Oath — Lost in an Eternal Silence (Caligari Records)

Eternal silence? Not likely when these Chilean freaks are around. Blood Oath plays a proggy variety of death metal, long on musical technique and a lot spacier than not. But those ambitions and atmospherics never get in the way of satisfying tunefulness, and when guitarists Ignacio Canales and Iganacio Riveras (yep, two Iganacios) indulge their desires to shred, there’s plenty of thrashy antics and dive-bombing abandon to enjoy. This reviewer really digs “Reflections of Darkness,” which is shot through with a groovy weirdness; the soloing verges on hair-metal heroics here and there, but in this context, that turns out to be a lot of fun. Lost in Eternal Silence is more smoked out than grossed out, and some of us like our death metal a bit soggier and smellier. But there’s no denying the musical invention on display here, and the speed and dexterity nears intoxicating levels.

Body/Head — Come On (Longform Editions Remix) (Longform Editions)

Come On (Longform Editions remix) by Body/Head

Kim Gordon and Bill Nace have been exploring the mind-body divide for over a decade, yet they still manage to surprise and delight. The duo sprung the Come On EP on us earlier this year, without notice. Replete with short, song-like impressions, the brief recording was a subtle evolution in the Body/Head oeuvre. They astonish once more with this extended remix of the EP’s leading track, stretching it into a 20-minute ambient opus. Only faint echoes of the piece’s guitar noise remain, as Nace dons his dub producer’s cap to create a smoke-filled atmosphere. Gordon’s sultry voice beckons, yet through time dilation seems to call from the edge of the universe. She and Nace are joined by music video director and Peaches collaborator Vice Cooler, whose slippery synth squiggles add a gritty snarl to the otherwise soothing vapor trails. This is a potent brew, a beguiling chanson rooted firmly in the ever-expanding Body/Head universe.

Bryon Hayes

DJ Muggs — Soul Assassins 3: Death Valley (Soul Assassins Records)

The third part of the DJ Muggs’ trilogy has got an impressive list of guests. How can one even get a verse from Ice Cube and MC Ren these days? But despite the shocking number of rap stars (many of them fell off, to be honest), hardly anything on Soul Assassins 3: Death Valley feels like a real song. These are projects, with phoned-in verses, and Muggs was just doing construction work, putting these verses together. Only three solo tracks with Boldy James (“It’s On,” “Where We At, and “We Coming For the Safe”) sound like he was really working for it. After half a dozen of listens not a single song sticks in mind. You just keep listing these big names in your head.

Ray Garraty

Duffy X Uhlmann — Doubles (Orindal)

Doubles by Duffy x Uhlmann

Meg Duffy is a heck of a guitar player, witness their support work for Kevin Morby, their own Hand Habits and this year’s yes/and all-instrumental collaboration with Oneohtrix Point Never producer Joel Ford. Now the artist teams up with Gregory Ulhmann, likely encountered on a recent Hand Habits/Perfume Genius tour in 2022 for an album of improvised guitar duets, laid down in one single takes, look ma, no net. These cuts are lovely and varied. “Half Smile” is precise but lyrical. One guitar sets up a clock-like rhythmic foundation, while another splays lingering chords and pensive runs of melody atop this architectural structure. “Etch” is more luxuriant, with high tremulous melody stepping nimbly over scratchy strums and flowering in harp-like profusion. “Which One Is You” has a pulsing, electronic mystery, guitar notes scattered over an eerie Burial-ish atmosphere (or possibly some of that Oneohtrix Point Never influence rubbed off). “Braid” is cerebral and austere, the notes clipped short, so that guitar sounds like a malleted percussion instrument. The two parts interlock like delicately tuned machinery, the one fitting where the other stops, and both dancing in airy, contemplative joy.

Alabaster DePlume — Come with Fierce Grace (Intl Anthem)

Come With Fierce Grace by Alabaster DePlume

Alabaster DePlume recorded material for these 12 tracks at the same time as he was making GOLD, working with20 other musicians in various configurations and laying far more sound to tape than he could use, even for a double album. And yet while this music is, strictly speaking, leftovers, it is, in some ways, far more visceral and affecting than its sprawling predecessor. The sounds are rougher, warmer and less baroquely poised. There are African rhythms and tones in many of these cuts, in this rumbling, rattling foundations of percussive “To that Voice and Say,” in the desert flutter of spare haunting “Give Me Away.” DePlume, himself, sings less and plays more, entering into swaggering, blistered dialogue with a drummer, in “What Can It Take,” overblowing long, trembling vibrations on abstract “Fall on Flowers.” Where he does foreground singing, it’s likely to be someone else, like the Guinean artist Falle Nioke in “Sibomandi,” carving rough shadow-y blues arcs across complicated volleys of percussion and sax. Or London-based Momoko Gill, who breathes silky smooth R&B lines into a thicket of plucked bass notes, sounding very much like Sade but without the sheen of slick production. I was lukewarm on GOLD, but I like this one a lot. Let’s hear it for leftovers.

Erik Enocksson — Räkna evighet som intet (Irrlicht/Ideal)

Räkna evighet som intet by Erik Enocksson

Swedish composer Erik Enocksson explores grief and transcendence in two longform pieces on his new release which translates as “Count eternity as nothing.” Written for a string quartet, voices overlaid and electronic effects, with a libretto taken from the poetry of Lotta Lotass, Enocksson invokes the confusion and despair essential to the mourning process and the redemptive power of prayer, poetry and music. The work plays out like a non-linear operetta, shifting between emotional states and intensity.

Part 1 begins with a babble of voices, an invocation. Inchoate strings and electronics gradually coalesce into form, a wordless male voice, cantor-like, answered by a choral libretto based on the poetry of Lotta Lotass. In Part 2 swirls of feedback, like nails on a blackboard, the bottom end of the strings distorted, again searching for meaningful form. The choir liturgical, before Sara Fors’ vulnerable soprano comes to the fore, barely there in lonely prayer, before a lengthy fade into eternal silence. Räkna evighet som intet is a hauntingly evocative work which doesn’t shy from darkness but ends in purifying light.

Devin Gray — Most Definitely  (Rataplan)

Most Definitely by Rataplan Records

One truth of performance is that the performer spends the whole of their life preparing for something that another person might only see during one brief and circumscribed moment. Devin Gray, a drummer who has worked with Kris Davis, Ellery Eskelin and numerous other singular jazz musicians, recreates that phenomenon on his debut solo recording, Most Definitely. If you want to get in touch with the reflection and effort that go into the self-creation of an artist, go to this album’s Bandcamp page when you have some time and read the two exhaustive texts he wrote for it. But in the spirit the actual music, this review will be brief. Gray limited himself to one six-hour session, during which he improvised from a series of prompts. With one exception, the album’s 23 tracks are quite short, and each uses a laser focus to express a particular sound, idea or transitional event. As befits a guy who is engaged with the freer end of things, but also engaged with the music’s ongoing historical development, you can hear a spectacular breadth of sounds, some of which become brief homages to his inspirations.

Anthony Naples — orbs (ANS Recordings)

orbs by Anthony Naples

Dusted last checked in with producer Anthony Naples back in 2015, when Patrick Masterson noted that his Body Pill LP made for a transition away from Naples’ dancefloor work to “a peaceful, nocturnal release built for life’s simple, quiet moments.” On the evidence of the lush, accomplished new orbs, Naples has continued to go in that direction, and it’s paying dividends. From the opening “Moto Verse” finding a middle ground between trip hop and ambient to the closing “Unknow” evoking a kinder, gentler Boards of Canada (albeit with a prominent bassline). orbs succeeds in both its sound design and its construction. These ten tracks (kept to a trim 43 minutes and change, although the pace never feels rushed) seem drawn from the same pool of nighttime calm Naples was channeling back on Body Pill, but if anything his approach has gotten more refined and potent with time.

Ian Mathers

Eddie Prévost / NO Moore /James O’Sullivan / Ross Lambert — CHORD (Shrike)

CHORD by Eddie Prévost | NO Moore | James O’Sullivan | Ross Lambert

Shrike emerged in 2021 as an outlet for London’s thriving free improvisation scene. A survey of their Bandcamp page indicates that capitalization matters, so let’s ponder for a moment the determination to render in all caps something that you’ll listen hard to find on this recording. It is a studio encounter between three electric guitarists and the esteemed percussionist, Eddie Prévost, whose involvement ensures that the music is going to enact a process of exploration, but suffice to say that no one is searching for the lost chord. No, they’re looking for ways to contribute to a dialogue of arcing tones, shimmering decays, rough-edge scraps and feedback that’ll resonate in your ribcage. By dint of being the only non-guitarist, Prévost becomes the agent of contrast and focus across seven absorbing exchanges. It appears that Shrike prioritizes visual presentation, and CHORD’s trifold sleeve is a thing of beauty. One hopes that in the future the label will extend that respect to the format itself and put it on a glass-mastered CD instead of the short-run, blue-faced disc used here.

Radian — Distorted Rooms (Thrill Jockey)

Distorted Rooms by Radian

Experimental trio Radian — Martin Brandlmayr on drums and electronics, Martin Siewert on guitars and electronics and John Norman on bass — create a splintered, deconstructed form of post-rock with industrial leanings and the low-slung funkiness of instrumental hip-hop. Their sounds are metallic and dank, often blown out with distortion and scattered across the stereo field to give the listener just enough grounding to follow their rhythms, but frequently upending expectations of where their meandering compositions may venture next. Radian’s last album, 2016’s On Dark Silent Off, is probably their finest and most cohesive to date; their new album, the fittingly titled Distorted Rooms, feels like a more fractured effort, its six tracks taking a more abstract course across 40 minutes of music. The band’s sounds are always interesting, but there are passages here where you have to wait patiently for everything to lock into place. Distorted Rooms’ finest moments are probably “Cicada,” which features some of the record’s more breakneck and addictive rhythms, and finale “S at the Gates,” which coalesces its sound sources into something ominously atmospheric.

Shackleton & Waclaw Zimpel ft  Siddhartha Belmannu — The Cell of Dreams (7K!)

The Cell of Dreams is a collaboration between producer Sam Shackleton, Polish polymath Waclaw Zimpel and singer Siddhartha Belmannu. Shackleton and Zimpel use harmonium like drones, keyboards, alto clarinet and hand percussion to develop serpentine trance-like ragas. Singing in his native language Kannada, Belmannu, a rising star in Indian classical music, moves through registers of his voice with magistral grace. The 19-minute opener “The Ocean Lies Between Us” features long cycles of drone and buzz, minimal percussion, lapping water and Belmannu modulated and serene intercut with wordless runs through the higher registers. Not understanding the words, you concentrate solely on his tone and emotion to the extent that when he sings in English on “Everything Must Decay” it takes a little readjustment of focus, but the combination of Belmannu’s voice, Zimpel’s treated alto clarinet and Shackleton’s production effects is mesmerizing.

Superposition — Glaciers (Kettle Hole Records)

Glaciers by Superposition

Superposition is Todd Carter and Michael Hartman, who also comprise two thirds of the category-noncompliant trio, TV Pow. TV Pow rarely gets together these days since its members have lives and the third member, Brent Gutzeit, left Chicago years ago. But Superposition’s existence proves that Hartman and Carter are still playing together, and still adhering to the essential TV Pow tenet that if they get in the same room and make some sounds, whether they issue from computers, conversations, made-up instruments or a nice grand piano, those sounds might end up on a record. The ten tracks on Glaciers are made by stacking layers of spare keyboard lines and muffled drum tracks, and periodically interrupting their trundling passage in ways that suggest that something has gone somewhere, then stopped and done something else. If that description seems non-specific, so is the music; while just enough of the track titles relate to glaciers to make you look for a concept album in this stuff, it could just as be set to driving instruction films or the progress of Mario from one side of your video screen to the other. This is a feature, not a bug. Put this on and do something. 

Bill Meyer

Thrash Palace — Go (Sub Pop)

Part of the Sub Pop Singles series, Thrash Palace’s “Go” rips as hard as it’ll go, a bludgeoning assault of guitar noise, thwacked to bits by hard, block-simple drums. You might recognize the singer’s florid, blues-nodding belt or her guttural grunt: that’s EMA doing her best rock goddess. The rest of the band is likewise impressive. Sarah Register of Talk Normal and Kim Gordon’s band plays guitar and XBXRX’s Vice Cooler plays hits those brutalist drums. The flipside “Teenage Spaceship” is quieter but also full of drama. Here EMA’s voice tamps down to a whisper, and the atmosphere envelopes rather than blowing the house down. Both are quite good, intense, theatrical and inventive in a way that evokes Savages and, naturally, Kim Gordon. Thrash on, ladies. We need a full-length.

Jennifer Kelly

Vengeance — Sewer Surge (Dying Victims Productions)

Nasty, grimy and dank, Sewer Surge is the first proper LP from Vengeance — or, as they seem to prefer, Fukkin Vengeance. That additional term in the band’s name is close to risible, but it helps to distinguish this speed metal act from at least two other Polish metal bands that call themselves Vengeance, in addition to the dozen or so other outfits claiming the moniker (from Brazil, Germany, the States and elsewhere). Polish? Yep, but you’d be forgiven for assuming that an obscure NWOBHM band recorded Sewer Surge sometime in 1983. This is metal for a bar fight, for a biker run, for a night of whites and pints of Ballantine Ale in Sheffield (or in Warsaw, one supposes). The band seems to be clued into the layers of allusion and potential ironical goofiness that come with this sort of earnest love letter to those halcyon days of leather, spikes and Flying Vs: the best tune on the record is called “Disappointing Parking Lot Sex.” That’s really funny, and the song is pretty great. Just don’t expect Fukkin Vengeance to get out of the gutter (or sewer) any time soon.

Dustin Wong — Perpetual Morphosis (Hausu Mountain)

Perpetual Morphosis by Dustin Wong

Dustin Wong creates outlandish and beautiful sound worlds that are inspired by his limitless creativity. Originally a denizen of the weird and wonderful Baltimore music scene – he was a member of both Ecstatic Sunshine and Ponytail – the guitarist has since created a solo career around his mastery of loop pedals. Not keen to sit still, Wong continues to extend his performative toolbox. Perpetual Morphosis, his sophomore Hausu Mountain joint, finds Wong fusing instrumentation and digitally sourced sounds. The resulting compositions reside somewhere between the intricate patterns of American minimalism and the post-modern zaniness emanating from the Orange Milk catalog. Fractalized percussive patterns bounce around, obfuscated by neon-colored tone clouds and the gently wafting breeze of Wong’s treated vocalizing. His guitar interjects repeatedly as we traverse this technicolor dream world, zooming in and out of focus as the composer straddles the fragile boundary between inspiration and outright madness. Perpetual Morphosis pokes at Wong’s charged up cerebellum, proffering a pleasant jolt in the process.

75 Dollar Bill — Power Failures (Karl Records)

Power Failures by 75 DOLLAR BILL

75 Dollar Bill was that last band I saw before the pandemic closed everything down. They played a riveting set in a refurbished industrial space on the campus of Amherst College about a week into 2020, and, as a famous playwright put it, the rest is silence, at least for a couple of years. Power Failures comes from that period, as the two principals put together live and unreleased recordings as a way to stay relevant during the lockdown. It came out digitally in 2020 and is just now getting the vinyl treatment. The disc captures 75 Dollar Bill’s hallucinatory desert blues drone, its long haunted notes, punctuated by an ecstatic, primal drumming. Sounds of audiences, of birds, of children filter in through these shape shifting meditations, incorporating the real world like certain just-before-the-alarm dreams bring ambient noises into their narratives. “Snow Jumper’s Harp” shimmers and smolders, the steady friction of shaken percussion intersecting with an elemental blues riff repeated till it transcends itself. “15 (YASI)” sputters with electric distortion, knocks insistently on wood. A flute comes in, dreaming its own dreams. It is very serene, but also full of fire. The long set recorded at the Noguchi Gardens in Queens allows the sounds of nature to drift past, as Che Chen searches for the essence of single notes, letting them hang, repeating them, letting them die out, stopping time, in a good way, not the way the pandemic did.

[twistedsoulmusic]

Kevin Richard Martin’s latest album ‘Black’ is a hauntingly beautiful tribute to the late Amy Winehouse. Though a departure from his previous work, Martin channels his grief over Winehouse’s untimely death into ten largely beatless, ambient tracks fusing together spectral doom jazz and hypnotic noir.

[bluetapes]

For more than 10 years, Blue Tapes has curated a series of numbered cassette releases that juxtapose different forms of minimal music with abstract and minimal cyanotype artwork.

Our most recent releases are three mini-masterpieces that combine free improvisation, spoken word and dream-derived textures.

Check them out at bluetapes.bandcamp.com

BLUE FORTY-NINE: STARAYA DEREVNYA

Long-running psychedelic collective deliver a set of prowling poems made out of words imagined and real and a chamber orchestra of sounds plucked, blown and bowed.

BLUE FORTY-EIGHT: BENJAMIN FINGER

Norwegian ambient composer crafts tantalising electronic dream pop with guest female vocalists. Much to love here for fans of beatless music for whom feeling is everything and meaning is secondary.

BLUE FORTY-SEVEN: MINARU

New transatlantic supergroup from Breadwoman vocalist Anna Homler and London-based improvisers Adrian Northover, Sue Lynch and Dave Tucker. This is excellent music for anyone interested in the potential for transcendence in improvisation, or transcendence, generally.

[lostinthefuckingmeadow]

Aphex Twin, a.k.a. Richard D. James, introduced himself to the world with a head fake. From its title, his debut album, 1992’s Selected Ambient Works 85-92, looked like a best-of collection—hardly what you’d expect from a newcomer. Two years later, the follow-up maintained the ruse: None of its 20-odd tracks (the precise number differed according to format and country) had been previously released save for “Blue Calx,” which first appeared on a 1992 compilation. But Selected Ambient Works Vol. 2 was more straightforward than its predecessor in one crucial way. Where Aphex Twin’s debut mostly showcased ethereal techno and breakbeat house, SAW 2 zeroed in on the purist essence of ambient music, much as Brian Eno had established it 16 years earlier: beatless, mysterious, and as ineffable as a beam of sunlight.

Life´s too short for weird music Tagesempfehlung 14.04.2024

Sunday Album Club: Four Tet / Three 

Track: 31 Bloom

Three ist bereits das 15. Studioalbum von Kieran Miles David Hebden aka Four Tet. Das am 15.03.2024 erschienene Three ist ein weitgehend introspektives Album mit wunderbaren elektronischen Minimalismen und ätherischen Soundkompostionen. Was dem Album leider ein weing abgeht, ist die Klarheit und vielleicht auch hier und da ein bisschen der Mut die eigenen Grenzen etwas nach vorn zu schieben. Grenzen verschieben ist bei Soundtüftler Hebden in den letzten 20 Jahren aber hoch gegriffen und ohnehin regelmäßig Programm gewesen. So ist Three vielleicht auch mal der Zeitpunkt zur Konsollidierung. Und die meisten der acht Exponate auf Three sind einer Selbstreflexion zuträglich, stellen diese in einem klassischen Brian Eno Kontext Umgebungsmusik – Ambient dar. Allerdings nicht beatless sondern zumeist in gedämpftem Tempo. Richtig spannend wird Three immer dann wenn Kieran Hebden das Tempo hochschraubt wie etwa im hypnotischen Daydream Repeat (Tagestipp 24.02.2024). Und auch das für mich beste Albumstück 31 Bloom ist ein wunderbarer Electrominimalismus mit kickendem Beat und den wohl feinsten Synthie Sounds, die ich dieses Jahr bisher zu hören bekommen habe. Gutes Album - und zur richtiges Tages/Nachtzeit eingesetzt entfaltet Three durchaus seine Wirkung. Wenngleich Three im Vergleich zu den grandiosen Vorgängern New Energy (2017) und Sixteen Oceans (2020) vorsichtig formuliert unter die Rubrik „solide“ einzustufen wäre.

Rudy Adrian (born ca. 1969) is an ambient musician from Dunedin in New Zealand. Working in styles ranging from beatless atmospheric music to heavily sequenced electronica, Adrian has released several albums of his music, as well as producing sound track for television in his profession as a sound engineer for Taylormade Media. Rudy Adrian first started making electronic music in the recording studios at Canterbury University while he was studying Forestry Science. Eventually abandoning Forestry Science, he tutored electronic music at the University of Otago while completing a degree in Botany. This was followed by several years as a freelance musician and sound effects creator for television programmes, advertisements and short films. Eventually this culminated in full-time sound design work for a television production facility and occasional freelance composition. Rudy has gone on to create albums in his unique style of atmospheric music for private release as well as for international record labels. The common thread to his music is the exploration of sonic landscapes, where melody and rhythm play a secondary role to the tones and textures created by synthesizers, wood flutes and the human voice. Always experimental and original, they are also peaceful and listenable - similar to listening to a film soundtrack without pictures. Some comparisons to the atmospheric works of Brian Eno and the soft arpeggios of Tangerine Dream and Jean-Michel Jarre of the seventies are at times apt, but the music nevertheless remains uniquely that of Rudy Adrian. © last.fm

Pierre Dutour: Top Fiction. Be With Records (bewith147lp)

"Pierre Dutour's infamous Top Fiction is the epitome of a 5-tracker. Coming to light in 1979 on Tele Music, its collection of environmental themes are all astounding. We're talking all-time heavy hitters, here. They come recommended as tracks you'd choose to elegantly elevate deep selector sets or mixes.

Skip the irritating whistle-laced marching-band funk of "Captain Parade" and head straight to the glistening synths and proud horns of beatless ambient wonder "Mountain Echoes". Arguably worth the price of admission alone. It's that good. The sci-fi atmospherics of "Space Fiction" are definitely sampleable whilst the proud horns of "Mountain Trumpet" definitely contain blasts that could be of creative use. "Tambours Parade" is more marching-band funk, only this time the drums go hard and there's a lot to like about this one.

Truly, it's all about the B-Side. A real B-Side for the ages, in fairness. It opens with the gorgeous "Deer Forest". It's one of the most beautiful songs you'll ever hear. Like something off Brian Bennett's Voyage, it rides dreamily melodic synths, and comes on, as one fan claimed "like something Angelo Badalamenti would have co-written with Final Fantasy composer, ???? [Nobuo Uematsu]". It's jaw-dropping. Be instantly beguiled by the deep eerie nostalgia and pretty delicate piano of "Magic Lake I" and the whistling-synth-augmented "Magic Lake II". The almost-title-track "Pop Fiction" is another hidden gem, containing dreamy, glistening arpeggios that are just begging to be sampled with a heavy knocking beat behind it. The set closes with "Damnation Space", 2 minutes of spooky Musique concrète.

So, 5 absolutely incredible tracks and 2-3 good ones. An excellent ratio for a library album, I think we can all agree. Trust us when we say that the heavy hitters are just absolute gold, rendering this one an essential, buy-on-sight purchase. Go listen and discover for yourselves…

The audio for Top Fiction has been remastered by Be With regular Simon Francis, ensuring this divisive release sounds better than ever. Cicely Balston's expert skills have made sure nothing is lost in the cut whilst the original space-age sleeve has been restored here at Be With HQ as the finishing touch to this long overdue re-issue."

制作方法は、曲のイメージをAIに伝え、AIがコード進行や音階を提案。提案されたコードや音階をもとにkentaro nagataが演奏・プログラミング・ミックスした。ピアノやシンセサイザーを中心に、アンビエント調や80’sを思わせる電子音楽などで構成されている。

アルバムタイトルはジャズのスタンダード曲、” You Don't Know What Love Is​​”を捩っており、”AI”と”LOVE”を掛けている。AIと人間の、音楽家の共存を探る1枚。

永田さんの音作りはエレクトロニカ的なグリッチ感・ざらつきが特徴的だと思っています。

AIに一部の作曲プロセスを委ねた──とはいえこの点は健在で、それゆえに本作は「AIに置き換わらないアーティストの個性」を考える上で格好のサンプルではないでしょうか。 AIの側面を強調せずとも普通に ”すごく良いアンビエントアルバム” であることからも、アーティストとAIが共存・共栄する未来を前向きに夢見たくなる作品。

2023年、AIの進化がさらに目覚ましい。 とくにChatGPTのリリースは世界中に大きなインパクトを与えている。 間違いなくここ数年でぼくらの生活は一変するだろう。

もちろんAIによって変わっていくのは音楽制作にも言えることでこれから人間とAIが共同制作していくのは間違いない。 楽曲制作とAIの親和性はめちゃくちゃいいと個人的には思っている。 これまでだって楽器からシンセ、コンピューターソフトを使ってきたのと同じように音楽制作にAIは当たり前のように浸透していくだろう。

と思っていたら、Nagata氏がさっそくやってくれた。 AIを楽曲制作に取り入れたアルバム” You Don’t Know What Love Is”をリリース。 ピアノをフューチャーしたディープなアンビエントトラックに心酔しクラウトロックを彷彿とさせるシンセトラックには恍惚として聞き惚れる。

Nagata氏のコンセプチュアルな一面を垣間見たアルバム、どれも素晴らしいです。リスペクト！！！

このアルバムは様々な音色やムードで構成されながらも統一感と抒情性を持ったエモーショナルなアンビエントアルバムであると言える。しかし、よく聴いていくと、コード進行やメロディーの移行のタイミングなどにそこはかとないぎこちなさが宿っている事にも気づくであろう。そして、そのぎこちなさこそが２０２３年時点の人間とAIの間に存在する距離により発生しているとも言え、逆に考えれば、その距離の中に作者のAIへの憧れや労り、思いやりなどの感情が生まれており、鑑賞者はそこに作者の感情の流れを聞き取るのである。 　他方、少し俯瞰して述べれば、19世紀にすでに飲物を買いに行くロボットが発明され、長らく子どもたちはドラえもんの一挙一動を見守り、現代において老人ホームの床をペットロボットが這いつくばる日本において、AIとの対話によってエモーショナルなアンビエントアルバムが誕生したことは歴史的必然なのかもしれない。

作曲家は自らの身体性から来るノイズと戦いながら創作を行っている。 手癖、骨格、外見…現世に生きている限り、それらから離れることはできない。

現代のAIは人類の集合意識の具象化だ。 肉体を持たず���特定の自意識に縛られることなく、それらを冷徹に無視できるAIの視線は、命題と印象を最短距離の直線で結ぶことができる。 ときに人が羨むほど純粋な彼らとの共同制作が、われわれをも自由にしてくれる…『We Don’t Know What Love Is(With AI)』はそんな期待を抱かせてくれる。

AIとの交流によって生まれた本作は、作品自体が未知のものであり、新しい。なぜなら「聴いていて心地よい音」に止まらないアンビエント音楽に仕上がっているからだ。

Kentaro nagata, a member of Coldhot and also involved in TENbient compilations, has released an album. All songs are co-written with AI and other artists such as ChatGPT.

The production method is to tell the AI the image of the song, and the AI suggests chord progressions and scales. Kentaro Nagata performed, programmed, and mixed the music based on the suggested chords and scales. The music is composed mainly of piano and synthesizer, ambient and 80's electronic music.

The title of the album is a reference to the jazz standard "You Don't Know What Love Is," a reference to "AI" and "LOVE. The album explores the coexistence of AI, humans, and musicians.

The album will be released on April 14 (Fri.) from various distribution stores.

Today’s compilation:

Apollo 1993 Downtempo / Breakbeat / Ambient Techno / Ambient

Here's an absolutely breathtaking self-titled sampler that was put out in the early 90s by Apollo, the "ambient" sublabel of the great Belgium-based R & S Records. Honestly, as far as early 90s ambient and ambient-adjacent comps go, this is hands-down the best one I've ever heard. It's like the electronic music equivalent of hearing Dark Side of the Moon for the first time—just total mind expansion by way of progressive psychedelia that leaves its listener in awe; a completely unparalleled sonic experience. And I'm sure the nifty outer space-themed album art isn't a coincidence either.

The way the word "ambient" got thrown around back then was as an umbrella term; it wasn't just largely percussionless, beatless electronic music as we tend to define it today; it was just stuff that was markedly slower and less intense than stuff that was made for a typical dancefloor. So, although this is usually classed as an ambient album—the release itself has a sticker on its jewel case that literally says "file under ambient"—by today's standards, it's really mostly not. It's more so downtempo, techno, and breakbeat. And even though techno and breakbeat are usually referred to as dance genres, the vibe here is way more of a chill one, hence people's use of the term "ambient techno," for example. So, to put it more simply, most of this album isn't actually just purely ambient music, despite its own claim to the contrary.

Anyway, without the constraints of needing to make something uptempo and dancy, it allowed artists to really explore and push the bounds of electronic music. Canvasses were basically blank and there was no "rule" to incessantly loop any rhythms or melodies. You could pretty much craft whatever the hell you wanted, however the hell you wanted. And this album collects some great, early 90s creative electronic efforts that were made with that spirit in mind, which still have the capacity to amaze as we approach this release's upcoming 30th anniversary.

On here you'll find both abstract electronic music's greatest innovator, Aphex Twin, and the godfather of techno himself, Juan Atkins, and both of them turn in stellar contributions, with Aphex's being the first track from his famed Selected Ambient Works 85-92 compilation (one of Apollo's first releases), "X-tal," and Atkins' song being the lesser-known "The Passage," released under his Model 500 moniker. Both very unique and stunning ambient techno-breakbeat journeys there.

And then there's the star of this show, the relatively obscure David Morley, who gets two tracks of his own as well as a remix of Golden Girls' "Kinetic" to kick off this whole shebang. Guy hadn't amassed much of a solo career when this album was initially released, but his tracks here are all fantastic. He seems to enjoy utilizing and intertwining multiple layers of psychedelic synth sounds, generating these warm and comfy blankets, and with his three different placements here, he manages to apply that complex synth approach to IDMish, ambient techno, and chillout room frameworks. Brilliant stuff with a lot of texture to it 😌.

So, for me, among early 90s electronic comps, this ranks on the same level as Warp Records' pioneering IDM album, Artificial Intelligence, from 1992. Both still manage to totally floor me despite how archaic the technology that went into making them was back then when compared to today. And, to a certain extent, I've never really cared about when something came out anyway—the Holland-Dozier-Holland-crafted Motown sound that busted up the pop charts in the 60s still sounds better than pretty much any other pop era or craze that followed it—and the same goes for electronic music. A DAW can only really get you so far. It's still the mind of a creator that matters more than anything else, and an album like Apollo makes that sentiment crystal clear, technological advancements be damned.

Highlights:

Golden Girls - "Kinetic (David Morley Remix)" Model 500 - "The Passage" David Morley - "Evolution" Aphex Twin - "X-tal" David Morley - "Calibration" Neuro - "Mama (Justin London Mix)"

Daryl Groetsch — Gardens in Glass/Frozen Waste (self-released)

Frozen Waste by Daryl Groetsch

As Pulse Emitter, Daryl Groetsch has explored synthesizer music for two decades. Under his own name, these self-released companion albums tend to the minimal ambient end of his musical spectrum. The titles tell part of the story. Broadly speaking, Gardens in Glass is warm and organic, Frozen Waste tectonic and ominous. Both unfold at a languid, almost luxurious pace using very similar musical palettes to create a contrasting but complimentary suites. Groetsch concentrates on microtonal detail and drifts of sound which bloom and swirl broken by wisps of melody and shards of light.

Gardens in Glass wafts by on beatless billows of synth. An idyll of tendrils unfurls in the undergrowth with hints of insects, birds and amphibians, which make their presence felt like the distant buzz of summer afternoons. The tracks extend towards 10 minutes as Groetsch accretes layers and allows them to meander, entwine and recede. The delicate textures and enveloping swells may relax you into a torpor at times but if titles like “Tropical Plant Sedation” and “Lily Pad Dreaming” give the game away, Gardens In Grass is a restorative aural massage. You may wish for something a little more probing but by the end you are contented and calm.

Frozen Waste begins gently enough. “Earth Tone” digs beneath the garden to focus on subterranean echoes. When the beats come, drums echo from frozen caverns, the vibrations muffled but massive. The world is restless, busy with surviving the long nights, stretching against and shrinking from the cold. The synths are more focused and insinuating, the pitch needling upwards.The beats disappear in “Frozen Waste” and “Centerless” as Groetsch concentrates on ominous looming sub bass frequencies and icy synth tones. howling winds across the tundra, rumbles and cracks from beneath the permafrost. It evokes the stark violence of Deathprod and the uncanny environmental soundscapes of Llyn Y Cwn. As the album draws to a close, the uneasy awakening of “Snow Covered Landscape” allows for twinkles of light reflecting a weak sun as the circle back to Gardens In Glass closes.

Groetsch moves through the bucolic in almost imperceptible phases. The pastoral ambience of Gardens In Glass can verge on the anodyne and some may find the tonal difference of Frozen Waste unsettling. The two can certainly be regarded as discrete recordings but played in sequence you hear the range and subtlety of Groetsch’s work to its best effect.
