Agent 101 – Rough Sketches {COM09}

Artist: Agent 101
Title: Rough Sketches
Label: Comatronic
Catalog #: COM09
Release Date: 2004/09/30

With a contempt for conventionality and a love for experimentation, Agent 101 creates music that is electronic yet organic, machine yet human. On Frost, for example, you can forget traditional instruments; this Australian artist conducts an orchestra of fat wet boots crunching through snow, of dark leaky basements, of wind whispering through winter wastelands. Its a lesson in evoking mood. Or check out the anthemic On Top of the World, a track which proves that not only can anything be the beat, the beat can be the melody. Rough Sketches may only be an EP, but like the preliminary jottings of a painter, its full of ideas and inspiration. Download the tracks, sit back and enjoy!

Tracklist:
01 – Frost
02 – Drop Out
03 – On Top Of The World
04 – Zone Zero One
05 – Beat Mode
06 – Union

Beak – Amoral Mayor Earwig EP {mtk136}

Artist: Beak
Title: Amoral Mayor Earwig EP
Label: Monotonik
Catalog #: mtk136
Release Date: 2004/09/26

We first hooked up with shadowy U.S. artist Beak earlier in 2003, when he made an ‘absolutely checken’ appearance, providing us with a few choice tracks featuring his unconventional but beautiful twinning of multi-tracked acoustic guitars and harder electronics. But it’s taken us until now to choose the absolutely perfect combination of sweet and savory songs from his extensive, largely publically unreleased output for the enchanting randomly titled ‘Amoral Mayor Earwig EP’.

So, where did we end up? Well, with the loping ‘How A Hot Air Balloon Works’, we have silent impulse into sonic heaven, all surprisingly summery, before new track ‘I Saw Two Of Me’ goes a whole lot more complex, really twisting the guitars and the jittery kitten-y drums together. Meanwhile, the title track simply multitracks weird spokenword interludes and beautifully played acoustic melodies with the pitter patter of drums, and our still-beating heart. Then, a brief interlude for the powerful phasing of ‘Yellow Hat’, before everything falls to piece with ‘Candrea444’, an out of time, out of space, in place rendering of a much more intensely acoustic, hardly normal daddy.

And what did we learn? That it takes time to get things right, that time is on our side, and that when phrased just right, the call of the string can sound like the call of the wild. Many thanks to Beak for teaching us.

Valzi – Careless EP {BKTR002}

Artist: Valzi
Title: Careless EP
Label: Backtrack
Catalog #: BKTR002
Release Date: 2004/09/24

Our first solo releases comes from Backtrack co-founder Valzi, who releases 14 minutes of distorted waves and beats. Fusing industrial electronics with sweet and naive melodies, valzi’s first official solo release proves to be an enchanting one, filled with emotional landscapes and creeping moments of dark atmospheres and light sequences. A study in contrast.

Artist Comments:
“careless”

they called me a pessimist,
yet I had an unreasonable hope.
maybe this recognition of
senseless faith is pessimism.

a smile that is not a gift
is worthless.
struggle for joy, instead.

they said I was merry,
yet my reverie was meaningless.
maybe this apparition,
was no more than an enormous wish.

without interest, without fear,
without care –
failure has a tart charm.

they called me an optimist,
but i expected the worst.
maybe friendship with disappointment
is a kind of optimism.

savored, memorized moments.
these will not be forgotten,
though attempted.

they said i was visionary,
yet i was unable to see past my hand.
maybe they are also too nearsighted
to see me squint.

dreams are fairies.
they fly on happy thoughts.
we play with them,
dancing on the green carpet.

dreams are ghosts.
they won’t fade to nothing.
we can’t touch them.
every lunge brings face to ground.

still, they must be realized.
then all will be perfect again,
but not under this sky.

-valzi

Izmar – Stuff EP {mtk135}

Artist: Izmar
Title: Stuff EP
Label: Monotonik
Catalog #: mtk135
Release Date: 2004/09/03

Although sometimes overlooked, due to their release on Monotonik’s lesser-known sublabel Mono211, the two albums we’ve put out so far by Dutch ex-techno producer Izmar are, everyone seems to agree, pretty damn special, twinning Fila Brazillia style grooves with gorgeous melodies. So, when we got a whole extra CD of material from him (to be dealt with soon!), plus a follow-up of this lovely four-track EP, we grinned happily and got on with the harrowing job of actually releasing it, starting with the last first.

Thus, we get the initial beauty of ‘I Just Wanted You’, all intro wistfulness, before ‘Ohmygod’ cranks up the atmosphere and the beautiful keyboard playing into an amazing, perfectly blended whole. Next up, ‘One Eight’ is all loping strides and cymbal crashes, sounding natural and strident and right, before ‘Piano5’ ends things off with a more insistent groove based around repeated chords and a metallic sheen. And if you overlooked Izmar before, then really, there’s no excuse now, is there?

Makunouchi Bento – Vitoru {[one013]}

Artist: Makunouchi Bento
Title: Vitoru
Label: One
Catalog #: [one013]
Release Date: 2004/09/01

This experimental ep was made for the Romanian `zine INCEPEM, issue 3 (september) with FUTURE set as the theme. Makunouchi Bento (or mabento for short) developed it following the speculation that digital music technology is increasingly moving forwards with their attempts at recreating analog warmth and real world modeling (instruments, ambience/room, the recreation of previous mediums, etcs).

This paradox is approached in a variety of ways here; sometimes through atmosphere, others through tube emulation and so on. Even with this concept in mind the emotive influence on the artist remains and Vitoru posseses the ability to place a listener in a familiar state of being in an unfamiliar surrounding (aside from the humorous and rhythmic opening of “rhybot”).

–

Acest ep nu este si nici nu se vrea altceva decat un experiment. Am pornit de la speculatia ca partea audio a existentei noastre va suna tot mai digital si generativ ca si concept (o interpolare a tuturor genurilor muzicale actuale ) dar tot mai uman si “cald” (analog / tubes) ca si sound – dat fiind faptul ca softurile (digitalul) incearca paradoxal sa emuleze soundul analog. partea noisy si digitala se imbina cu instrumente “aproape” reale si totul suna “uman” desi cu radacini digitale nu general evidente. Toate trackurile sunt special produse pentru “incepem 3” si cd-ul (ep-ul) a fost facut in editie limitata si unica de 15 bucati.

Tracklist:
01 – rhybot
02 – jeskovabot
03 – cariul d
04 – jazbot
05 – voiaj in vitoru
