From both sides of petite&jolie, everybody has been busy under the tree.
Musicians and drawers, both working on nice presents.

V.A. – Pantoufle Tagada {pj001}

Artist: V.A.
Title: Pantoufle Tagada
Label: Petite&Jolie
Catalog #: pj001
Release Date: 2007/09/19

As said on the website, it’s been a moment we were thinking about it.
The definition of petite&jolie is clearly in the title, we want to set a cosy place for cute music.

We’ve been taking our time to contact artists we appreciated to be sure to deliver some lovely tunes that would definitly give the artistic line of this netlabel.

So here we are with our first release named “Pantoufle Tagada”, a nice launching compilation for the sake of cuteness

The cuteness will transport you on a pony ride from Purusha’s (Ogredung) progtoytronica to papercutz’s (Apegenine) childtronica, from Doroasako’s progressive folktronica to El zoológico’s pizzicato , passing by Original Recipe’s (Vinyl Republik) fresh pianopop to kaneel’s (Camomille, Ogredung) “joie de vivre” glitchtronics, vim’s (Monotonik) spring melodies to fah’s (Ronin) analog cute-acid without forgetting surasshu’s (Apegenine, Camomille) electro music with video game gimmicks while balùn people (Aerotone) are coming up with their cutey electropop and dot tape dot (spar.RK, NatureBliss) rejoins with his toy harp and trumpet experiments. In the meantime, makunouchi bento (Camomille, Ogredung, One) will delight your ears during a sweet and tender music box interlude for your christmas parties while Nej will come up with some sweet electropop and treacle (BEE Records) will bring back the groove to some cutetronica.

this compilation will act like the exact time-travel machine you needed to bring you back some childhood reminiscences, so we hope you’ll enjoy this 55 minutes long launching compilation as much as we enjoyed setting this all up.

❤

Makunouchi Bento – Live at TM04BASE (Timisoara) {od068}

Artist: Makunouchi Bento
Title: Live at TM04BASE (Timisoara)
Label: Ogredung
Catalog #: od068
Release Date: 2004/11/06

Makunouchi Bento has created a very personal style over the years, working with melody, noise and rhythm and often leaving some space for more explosive sounds and beats; this live recording is a continuation and expansion of themes brought up on ‘Rokurokubi’ (the numia battle winner track) and ‘Kunitoki’ – at times it is playing with bits of somehow dark and intriguing japanese vocals and atmospheric textures, acoustic bleeps and noises that later develop a ground-breaking, urban/dub breakbeat, with familiar textures and mysterious basspads. The whole recording seems to be one wellcomposed track, and even the older tracks are handled to the point where they blend perfectly in this wonderful acoustic/electronics mix. This release is certainly the best liveset one could expect from this amazing duo, and is strongly recommended to anyone that has been appreciating Makunouchi Bento’s work over the years.

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

Makunouchi Bento – Trcutu {[one020]}

Artist: Makunouchi Bento
Title: Trcutu
Label: One
Catalog #: [one020]
Release Date: 2005/07/04

This latest offering from Makunouchi Bento is a special one indeed – interpretation of and sound excursion into a few of their favorite classical compositions by such powerful and original composers as Erik Satie, Anton Arensky, Maurice Ravel., they hold nothing back while adapting them within the Mabento realm.

With its twists of melancholy, nostalgia, and even childlike amusement – Trcutu manages to hold onto a genuine historical and aesthetic interest found within some of the originals. At times picking up the melodies and running them through the spontaneity and textural styles of their own; while at others working not just from the originals but the influence and atmosphere felt by listening to them.

Tracklist:
01 – evening in ararat valley
02 – prelude (op. 63-10)
03 – etude no. 7
04 – gymnopédie no. 1
05 – trois beaux oiseaux du paradis
06 – gymnopédie no. 2
07 – miniature
08 – soldier’s dance
09 – etude (op. 74-8)
10 – gnossienne no. 1
11 – untitled

Makunouchi Bento feat. Nagz – Morninfizik (rmx) {od066}

Artist: Makunouchi Bento feat. Nagz
Title: Morninfizik (rmx)
Label: Ogredung
Catalog #: od066
Release Date: 2004/03/31

Although thought as a reprise of old amazing scene song Morninfizik, Makunouchi Bento and Nagz exult in this lovable effort with a bit of nostalgy and gameable moods; we personally like to consider this track as an adieu-tune from the duo, and a grandious welcome to the hungarian alias lurked behind the Nagz moniker, an everlasting name in the netscene. In things such as the deliberately cheesy chippy-synth lines or trippy touches, Morninfizik is definitely the song to long for.

Leenak & Makunouchi Bento – Miopedi : Errata EP {[one04]}

Artist: Leenak & Makunouchi Bento
Title: Miopedi : Errata EP
Label: One
Catalog #: [one04]
Release Date: 2004/02/28

Leenak (kaneel) and Makunouchi Bento have once again put their minds together and created ‘Errata’, under their Miopedi collaboration. Often split releases come across with a fitting split persona, though Miopedi : Errata has strong personalities reminiscent of the ambience and sound that seemingly existed in memory long before you heard them.

As surreal and haunting as the accompanied artwork, it’s tempting to hunt down the relation and reason behind this caustic ambience.. only no deduction could bring it justice. This is the very essence of the Miopedi project that got us asking for more. Familiar and mysterious at the same time — while retaining the desire of enjoyable and repeated listening.

Tracklist:
01 – makunouchi bento – cariul c
02 – leenak – nuits d hiver , neige et radio reveil
03 – makunouchi bento – lentila dracului
04 – leenak – tintamarre

V.V.A.A. – Cucina Vagabonda {od061}

Artist: V.V.A.A.
Title: Cucina Vagabonda
Label: Ogredung
Catalog #: od061
Release Date: 2003/11/08

A year after the releasing of the first compendium, Ogredung proposes you a release even more surprising and passionate than the succesful Snowsky. Without replicating modules and strategies, our audacious experimentators reveal themselves as endowed with an outstanding creativity. The tasty carnet of contributors spaces in a variety of styles and tendencies that go from Paolo Veneziani’s (Tibprod, Cobalt) neo-cosmic sounds to Puyopuyo’s (19-t, Gagarin) fierce weirdo-synthpop, without losing sight of the common path that leads the whole work: autumn. Enwrapped by the delicate parfumes of Imtech’s (Observatoryonline) autumnal whispers, Urkuma, Phobode and Strinqulu’s (MikMusik, Merck, Saag) sonorous poetry and Kaneel’s (Camomille, Kikapu) nostalgic dronebeats, we are kicked up by Makunouchi Bento’s (Retinascan, Inpuj) subtle elaborate of obscure flows and the hypnotic hug of Luca Confusione; and still, Iermoç and Transient’s (Koept, Hippocamp, Monotonik, Skylab Operations) quasi-obsessive IDM-intricacy, Vizion’s (Monotonik, Camomille, Wikkid) determined melodic moments and Proswell’s (Merck, Civik, 19-t) top electronics. A live recording of Corkzal’s (Commie) perfectly closes the circle.

Tracklist:
01 – Paolo Veneziani – Twin Lakes
02 – Makunouchi Bento – Rokurokubi

05 – Proswell – Scone ponce de leon b
06 – Iermoç – Fiveweeks

08 – Imtech – Autumnal whispers
09 – Kaneel – Nostalgie d’agoraphobie
