Écouter / acheter: A Frozen Song de Kecap Tuyul

"A Frozen Song" is an unusual form of "song". Besides a vast majority of electronic sounds recorded in moments featuring no human intervention, the new work of Kecap Tuyul contains vocal elements and a few light live tweakings of the electronic set-ups.

Écouter / acheter: Eimi de Adam Majdecki-Janicki

The new album of Adam Majedecki-Janicki, “Eimi”, is now available at Snow in Water Records.

"Adam Majdecki-Janicki offers outstanding music, like an archive noise, an open breath on a film from another era. An experiment that makes sound a landscape, a sound/space continuum. Yuri Morozov is the great inspiration, the clever and resourceful electronics of these studios piercing the solitude of the bands and official orchestras. There is no commemoration in this tribute to the great Russian composer. Perception alone, the memory of a burning film, a stalker in search of a mirrored universe. Adam Majdecki-Janicki makes textures-cassettes, sound worlds buried in the memory of a sky full of stars. Eimi, or the open sound of a walking talent." EPK: spark.adobe.com/page/adJbPV1Vtzts4/

Venus by day - Teaser

Teaser for the upcoming release 'Venus by day' on Snow in Water Records Film by Klaus Vanoli on 17 March 2017, 18H34 Music by Raphael Vanoli Mastered…

‘Venus by day’<3  - teaser for the upcoming release on Snow in Water Records.

First collaboration - pretty minimal and clear - with my father and a couple of befriended artists that will add their beautiful selves and give depth to this labour of love the coming days.

My father’s biggest passion is to build his own telescopes since approx 55 years. He told me about his DIY films of 'Venus by day’ since a decade. During scarse visits at my parental house we often ended our evenings stargazing and bottom-line we always talked about Venus.

Venus does not always look 'full’ like Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptun and Pluto do, Venus has a crescent and decrescent. If you don’t know, you might think you are looking at our moon. Sometimes venues looks like a croissant, sometimes like a half-full moon, sometimes full. That’s because the orbit of Venus lies between the earth and the sun. The love planet is fascinating, full of surprises and particularly with the changing seasonal lights these days and our occasional earthly clouds, of stunning beauty. 

Initially I intended to produce music for my father’s astronomy workshops - for fun - even more happy it turns out this will become a proper audiovisual release.

Stay tuned.

To Love. With LOVE💙

SIGHTLINE

Nicolas Tourney - Sightline (VULP-0163)

‘Sightline’ is Nicolas Tourney’s first work on Vulpiano Records. A monumentally beautiful work in drone, not a second wasted in the subtle totality of its being. Words from the artist: Nicolas Tourney is a French experimental musician, sound designer, and owner of the label Snow in Water Records. His electronic works concern perception and act of listening, with the use of various drones, strings and experimental devices. Sightline sounds like a landscape made of ether and a silence sewn on our lips. By using spectral rotation of an audible rendering of the present, of a sound as pure perception of the moment, the “Eye-world” (an open concept) introduces the listener into the kinematic perspective of exile and overflight. Listening makes “l'attente” (waiting) your place in life. Slightline is less about exposing a sound shock than getting into it and, through perception, seeks the withdrawal the senses. Perspectives crossed above visions that are games of scales. Between Drone making (Drone: rise beyond the present and the gravity of the bodies) and Soundscape practice (Soundscape: one word calls for another, a sound seeks to surpass itself in silence), Sightline is like a slow walk, when you listen to a glass surface in its resonance. In the distance, the soundscape stretches to infinity from a constantly redefined vanishing point.

About “Ram”, the new album of Nicolas Tourney (Batenim Netlabel, 2020) :

At the time of searching for a teaser track for the blog from the French composer, imprint owner and blogger Nicolas Tourney's brand new one Ram I was inclined sensually to find out just one track called Bluebeard. However, having been listened to the 15-track outing many times in a row I can admit it to be a great one. Indeed, it is about tonality and microscopic sensuality within broadening and narrowing swathes of exquisite sound. Lots of used to happen in reality and a listener's mind or being inseparably intertwined with one another. It is like a wondrous universe with stable arrangement of sonic elements and little changes coming in and moving outside. Wavering quietude is compellingly represented throughout the course there. Less is more on the base of this issue. The release is a part of the discography of Batenim.

Sig Valax - Animaux Totem (EP, Snow in Water Records, 2020)

Sig Valax is a sound artist who uses different digital and analog media to create hybrid works exploring modes of perception based on touch and movement in the dark. She studied electroacoustic composition at the Pantin conservatory with Christine Groult, and holds a master's degree in creation and contemporary technology from Ensci in Paris. To amplify her sensory relation to noise music, she places her instrumental practice under the prism of improvisation via analog synthesizers. She manipulates the sounds of her atonal machines and reveals a process of musical creation linked to touch, both rhythmic and organic. She develops these experimental forms in various collective projects (Vierge Noir e, Mesce Basse, Seuil Optique, Elek Ember, ...), as well as in workshops, where she gives everyone the opportunity to be initiated into forms of arts that intersect imagination, storytelling and improvisation games. Animaux Totem is the result of one of these workshops conducted with people with disabilities, where improvised music and free expression interact with the narrative worlds of the participants. https://snowinwaterrecords.bandcamp.com/album/animaux-totem *** Sig Valax est musicienne et artiste. Elle emploi différents médias numériques et analogiques pour réaliser des œuvres hybrides explorant les modes de perception en fonction du toucher. Elle a étudié la composition électroacoustique au conservatoire de Pantin avec Christine Groult, elle est titulaire d'un master spécialisé en création et technologie contemporaine de l’Ensci à Paris. Désireuse d'amplifier sa relation sensorielle à la musique noise, elle place sa pratique instrumentale sous le prisme de l'improvisation via des synthétiseurs analogiques. Elle manipule les sons de ses machines atonales et développe un processus de création musicale à la fois rythmique et organique. Elle explore ces formes expérimentales dans différents projets (Vierge Noir e, Mesce Basse, Seuil Optique, Elek Ember, Lucus Furina ...), ainsi que dans des ateliers, où elle donne l’occasion à chacun d’être initié à des formes de réalisations artistiques qui entrecroisent imagination, narration et jeux d’improvisation. Animaux Totem est le fruit d'un de ces ateliers menés avec des personnes en situation de handicap, où la musique impro­visée et la libre expression dialoguent avec les univers narratifs des participants. https://snowinwaterrecords.bandcamp.com/album/animaux-totem
