Antimateria vs Paolo Veneziani – Ice Geometry {od060}

Artist: Antimateria vs Paolo Veneziani
Title:
Ice Geometry
Label:
 Ogredung
Catalog #:
od060
Release Date:
2003/09/11


Up until now Paolo Veneziani is certainly the biggest deal here at Ogredung (face to face with Makunouchi Bento): he scored 1300 downloads with just a release (Perpetual green), and the counter increases day by day. Following an EP and another mp3-single (on the Snowsky & no Ink compil), this coop with italian soundmate Antimateria is certainly another big shot in the hole. Ice Geometry features Paolo’s virtuosisms on the analog synthesizer and Antimateria’s tracking and mastering skills into a very trip into the new (for me) world of neo-cosmic icepop. Sharp, slidy and extremely catchy, this two-tracks EP shows us that fresh musix is always coming to us -and to you. And fresher than ice there is only Paolo Veneziani.

Release Date:
2003/07/23


Todd Drootin from California, also known as Books on Tape, has a plethora of releases on so many labels (and netlabels) and runs such cool projects (he’s b0ss of the Subverseco netlabel as well) that we actually had no few troubles in drawing a somewhat evolutionistic line of his work; one thing we are sure of: he’s certainly one of the greatest working minds under the ground of the underground electronics nowadays. His music is savagely cyber-piratesque, holding at times a particular hard-exotic touch that renders a very unique (and maybe evil) scene. Riff-loops and obscure acidity, noise-rock sampling and sometimes danceable rioting melodies make Todd’s work a new, unique and well-defined musical experience for the intelligent headnodders.


Tracklist:
01 – Pirate radio child
02 – Son of what went wrong
03 – Sediert
04 – Crackton
05 – Auction stand for personal hatred
06 – Revolver illmatik

Release Date:
2003/04/05


And this is musical impressionism. White nights darkened by ligetian pure brushes, a mental-audio continuum: this is how the solar system would sound, if it ever sounded. Our research ends between solar pads and metal drops on the floor, between the joy of the return to home and the consciousness to have left something in the space.

Amazing compendium of amazing artists for this second cd-r release on Ogredung (and 55th mp3 release as well), where we decided to include something like how_we_can_electro_xperiment_nowadays_during_xmas_period. And yes we love the result: from Makunouchi Bento’s white eclectic (and really xmas-ish) IDM, to Minez’s ultra-sharp IDM, passing through Hinori’s free-jazz, Paolo Veneziani’s kicking electro, Vizion’s aerial mellowness, Luca Sigurtà and Purusha’s mellow noise, Neelka’s breakbeat intelligence, Toshiaki Ooi’s cyber-idm ambient, Punck’s noisy minimalism, Luca Confusione’s droned electricities, ! ((0rkza1’s acid downbeat live.

Makunouchi Bento – Micat (live) {od054}

Artist: Makunouchi Bento
Title:
Micat (live)
Label:
 Ogredung
Catalog #:
od054
Release Date:
2002/11/27


Soon after the TM02BASE live-set in Romania, Micat is delivered here to us and we cant help enjoying this crazy IDM/synth inspired piece of electroacustics as if we were there. The chill dynamic duo is this time undertaking a different kind of path through dis-intelligence, dark-flavoured synthetic airs and drummism a la Kunitoki. The whole piece is a pendulum in a long-time experienced experimental life.

Paolo Veneziani – Perpetual green {od053}

Artist: Paolo Veneziani
Title:
Perpetual green
Label:
 Ogredung
Catalog #:
od053
Release Date:
2002/10/16


Surprising 9mins of minimal/cybernoise sonorities in the kingdom of neo cosmic music; tender pads accompain our trip made of colossal robotic movements and steam vents, interlacing with a-rhythmic retrigging clips and disappearing in a melancholic nature where industries are annihilated. Underwater grey remains but the wind dissolves the noise in spacial heights. This is joie de vivre.

Title:
To come
Label:
 Ogredung
Catalog #:
od052
Release Date:
2002/10/04


Leader of artistic projects (recylcedarea and ko_lo are examples) and artist himself, in|_difference (from italy yea) struggles against the poets of silence to give light to a creature of unknown poetry and beauty: ambientish plain strings dress up with panning and constant-retrigging breakbeats and repeating voices in an always-growing reverse-melodies flavoured piece of music; the simple retrigs bring the track towards a more bodymoving rhythmic at the ending part, which i wouldnt have disliked if a bit longer. But it fades away and we cant help listening to it again and enjoy the airs.

Makunouchi Bento – Children of moog [vacuum mix] {od051}

Artist: Makunouchi Bento
Title:
Children of moog [vacuum mix]
Label:
 Ogredung
Catalog #:
od051
Release Date:
2002/09/25


Intelligent electro-doses are set free from this vacuum mix: dry and well balanced, and tough, minimal and deep, alienating, flowing and digging sounds. Electronic bounces and cyber melodies composed with hip-hop, reversed and retrigged rhythmics, but very still at the same time. Values of deepness and composure are emerging, values of research and push towards something not clear and defined yet, but keeping that a-normal silhouette typical of the romanian duo.
