Re: ARTSY RECORDS & DISTRO

Byron Coley arvostelee taas Wiressä!

MÅLGRUPP: Rotera 7" (Artsy)

Originally an ensemble of varying size, Målgrupp have evolved into a solo project for Finnish musician Julian Murray. The music is made up of altered reel-to-reel recordings of extant sounds, as well as freshly created racket, although it's not easy to figure out what's live and what's Memorex. This single has two pieces of quiet though fully freaked assemblage with sequences of sonic events that feel like Orchid Spangiafora groping around in his subconscious. Rather than being fixed into big structural ideas, things are allowed to clatter around with what feels like their own free will. And there's a near meditative quality to their shenanigans that is quite soothing.

Re: ARTSY RECORDS & DISTRO

Hei!!!! ART-28 ulkona, tällaista pulputusta:

Henri Lindström: SOITA JOS MEINAAT DELAA CS/DIGI

Henri Lindström, born 1983 in Laukaa, is a Finnish musician associated with the likes of Alex Cameron, Jaakko Eino Kalevi and SUAD. In addition, Lindström has also been prolific in writing and releasing his own material. On SOITA JOS MEINAAT DELAA Lindström continues to explore the effects of repeating polyrhythmic synthesizer patterns, creating contemplative musical passages that are as easy to approach as they are to get lost in.

Recorded and mixed between October and December of 2021 in Helsinki, Finland and Lisbon Portugal, using a Fostex X-18 recorder.

Re: ARTSY RECORDS & DISTRO

Pari mukavaa arviota Artsyistä Foxy Digitalis-nettijulkaisussa, kirjoittajana Brad Rose:

TOMUTONTTU: Seikkailun Tuoksu 7"

Jan Anderzen's latest is another run through the kaleidoscope at high speeds. Intervals grow and contract with no thought for the spirits dancing on the top floors where the ground moves like an elongated jump rope. Colorful sonic bubbles search for outer space only to freeze and crack releasing a miniature electronic tidal wave into the upper atmosphere. Little pellets drop back to earth singing in glitched alien voices that welcome another pirouette before splattering into the neon sea.

HENRI LINDSTRÖM: SOITA JOS MEINAAT DELAA CS

Henri Lindström’s repeating, slightly off-kilter synthesizer patterns on SOITA JOS MEINAAT DELAA make me dizzy. Time becomes an ouroboros gnawing at its tail feathers as it spins faster and faster circles. Lindström layers these passages in such a way that they are either just barely lined up or just barely misaligned depending on perspective, but it adds odd, dimensional shape to the sounds. Maybe it’s all the neon, but this is music I can see and as it loops and loops toward a sculptured horizon, I can’t stop staring at it. This is a prime Finnish sonic experience.

Re: ARTSY RECORDS & DISTRO

Hei, lisää ARTSYä !!!! 6.5. lasahtaa BROMP TREB LP. katukaupassa 15e jo sitä ennen!

https://artsyrecords.bandcamp.com/album … -food-city

Bald Eagle Over Food City is a blurry zoomed-in photograph of a national bird soaring over a grocery store parking lot. It is an album of thirteen failed portraits attempting to distill the impossible essence of a place that is repeatedly deformed by displacement and extraction, quietly made invisible by milltown charm.

Bromp Treb is the solo project of noisemaker and filmmaker Neil ‘Cloaca’ Young, who has been performing and producing small-run releases under this moniker for some 20 years. For almost as long he’s been the percussionist for weirdo noise collective Fat Worm of Error, and collaborating in other units such as Carbus, Gloyd and Playbackers.

Young co-directed Milford Graves Full Mantis with Jake Meginsky, as well as making many other obscure personal experimental films. He has lived in the village described in Bald Eagle Over Food City for the past 16 years and between the Connecticut and Hudson River Valleys his whole life.

Re: ARTSY RECORDS & DISTRO

AKTI Recordsin Juho kirjoitti kauniisti Bromp Treb-älpystä:

Bromp Treb - Bald Eagle Over Food City LP

"The same places, things and people can have many different names depending on who is doing the calling..."

American sound artist Neil "cloaca' Young a.k.a Bromp Treb gets super personal on his latest. He delivers 13 deformed compositions which little by little show us layers of beauty and stagnant melancholy. Bromp Treb takes us through what seems to be a carcass of an American smalltown, each track representing a certain place or a setting. The soundworld of the LP varies from arhythmic loopery (a very common attribute on many Artsy Records releases...) to a drunken one man marching band playing his guts out.

"A fat bald eagle lazily circles above the grocery store parking lot..."

It might take some time to digest Bald Eagle Over Food City but I promise that the experience will be well worth it. This record carries within it a special kind of honesty.

Re: ARTSY RECORDS & DISTRO

UUTTA ÄRTSYÄ !!!!
****************************

L'Arbre Nu & Bardo Todol: Un Super Groupe Nommé Sapito CS (ART-30) 7e

Sapito is the meeting of Bardo Todol (Pablo and Nico Picco Salsipuedes, Argentina) and l’Arbre nu (Guy-Pierre, Timothé and Maya Milin, Bretagne, France). In 2021, they started recording sounds in the woods near their respective homes. Each on their side of the planet. Files were shared and everyone mixed, cooked and packaged the others' sounds. The result is a mixture of free folk, concrete music, forest sounds and the whistling of cassettes.

Sapito is the timeless toad, traveling between seasons, feeding on caterpillar soup and mosquito marmalade. 2 sides of tape, each recorded on one side of the planet and mixed in the other hemisphere.

Re: ARTSY RECORDS & DISTRO

Frans De Waardin Vital Weekly-uutiskirjeessä kattava Artsy-analyysi:

***********************

To start a record label in times when everything is economically great is a risky business; to start one when the shit hit the  Covid fan is a bold move. The person behind Artsy from Helsinki plays in bands like Avarus and The Anaksimandros, but when gigs dried up, he started Artsy Records. So far, there are more than twenty releases, and I only know a hand full of these artists.

BROMP TREB - BALD EAGLE OVER FOOD CITY

Let's start with the vinyl, and on the first, we find music by Bromp Treb. This musical project has been around for some twenty years and was masterminded by Neil 'Cloaca" Young. You may know him as Fat Worm Of Error and a filmmaker. I had not heard the music of Bromp Treb before. He recorded the music between 2019 and 2021 "using several tape machines", which is the only bit of information, next to the location of the machines. The music is quite an interesting mixture of improvised sounds, mainly on wind instruments and electronics. These are manipulated with the use of old gear, and that makes the whole record a bit, well, old too. At first, I thought this was a band playing a sort of Mnemonists or Motor Totemist Guild kind of music; Avant-rock music but with the studio being an equally important instrument. However, as the record progressed and I read the background of the music, I could also see this one man using multi-track
possibilities and lots and lots of sound devices. A one-person orchestra at times with many layers of sound. Then I thought of Nurse With Wound, once the same sort of one-man orchestra, but on this record, Bromp Treb stays more on the Avant-rock side of music, in which a more considerable portion is reserved for improvisation. Bromp Treb organises his music using studio technology and moves away from the stricter improvised music scene. Great record!

AIRAKSINEN PEKKOLA TANNER - UUDET JES OPOT

The other LP is a trio recorded around Pekka Airaksinen. He was a "pioneering composer of electronic and experimental music" from Finland and lived from 1945 to 2019. He never performed many concerts during his life, but in 2015 he formed a trio with saxophonist Sami Pekkola and electronic musician Samuli Tanner. In February 2017, they played their first concerts, and recordings from the third concert found their way onto this LP. Airaksinen plays keyboards, and Pekkola also bongos and small objects. The record starts with a very much free jazz saxophone, which made me think 'not for me', but it turns out that this is much more than 'just' free jazz. Sure, elements of that play a significant role, but not always, with the saxophone playing an authoritative role. When electronics play a significant role, the music brings out a dreamier element without ever reaching for the ambient side of music. An element of abstraction is never far away. Such as at the opening of the second side, with sounds tough to define, a toy piano and rattling of percussive objects. Here, the music is almost akin to electro-acoustic music, including a record of baroque music being destroyed; that's what it sounds like, it is not that. A roller coaster ride, this music, and recorded in such a way that it is all very direct and in your face, which works very well. At less than thirty minutes, a bit short, perhaps, but a pretty powerful statement.

L'ARBRE NU & BARDO TODOL - UN SUPER GROUPE NOMMÉ SAPITO

A super group named Sapito, is the title of the cassette between Bardo Todol (Pablo and Nico Picco Salsipuedes, Argentina) and l’Arbre nu (Guy-Pierre, Timothé and Maya Milin, Bretagne, France). I had heard of the Argentinean side of this but not the French. All players went outside into the woods to play music, which they later put together and mixed. I couldn't say who contributes what here, which is for the strength of the piece here. It sounds like these people are in one room, playing together. Of course, there is an element of free-folk here, which comes with the natural habitat of recording in a forest, I'd say. Bell sounds, mumbling, some strumming on a detuned guitar and no rhythmic banging on percussive instruments. There are also elements of tape manipulation, maybe played on the spot or added later on. These add a fine additional layer to the music, overstepping the whole 'we're making some free music in a forest thing'. You could think of this as planning with the benefit of hindsight and creating order out of apparent chaos. I found this expanded sound most enjoyable, especially when it all became electro-acoustic, field recording-like, and along with the free-folk, it became the soundtrack of a weird folk-horror tale. Close your eyes and be scared.

MARCIA BASSETT - UNDULATING AKRASBONING

Marcia Bassett was the only name I recognised. Over the years, we reviewed some of her work, solo, as Zaïmph, and she is a member of Double Leopards, GHQ, and Hototogisu and has duets with people. I always thought her primary instrument was the guitar, but that is not the case here; perhaps, it is, but also the Buchla Music Easel, a modular synthesiser. But just as well, it might be that this is the only instrument on the four pieces, which last thirty-two minutes. The modular synthesiser is a very popular instrument/construction these days. Not really a specific instrument, but whatever modules one has. Many of the works I come across with this instrument have a rather improvised nature, and the four pieces by Bassett are not different. Sounds bubble and burst, oscillate and rotate, drift and space and are graced with a bit of reverb to suggest atmosphere; most dominant in the piece 'In Process'. I enjoyed it best when Bassett used more extended tones and less of the more chaotic shorter pieces. But throughout, I was thinking, is this it? It is not bad, not great either, four fine exercises of what modular electronics are capable of, but is there more to this? Somehow I had the feeling there could be more to it indeed. I see this as a work in progress.

Re: ARTSY RECORDS & DISTRO

Byron Coleyltä mukava arvio WIressä Marcia Bassettin kassusta:

Marcia Bassett
Undulating Akrasboning

New York artist and musician Marcia Bassett’s recent turn towards the synthesizer has really given her work some new dimensions. This tape sounds like it uses guitar and voice in addition to synth, but it’s not easy to tell. She still has a dab hand with long tones, but her use of squiggly Buchla lines allows her to disrupt sound fields in ways that are quite satisfying, all while luxuriating in the humorous feel inherent in some of the modes and tones she chooses. This turn towards experimenting with music reminiscent of analogue-era Northern European pioneers is not something I would have predicted, but it sure sounds nice as hell.
