Nosaj Thing e un baiat din LA, din scoala lui Flying Lotus si compania dar ceea ce face mi se pare ca depaseste cadrele glitch-ului sau hip-hop-ului de scoala noua, se intersecteaza cu dubstepul cel mai fin pentru a crea un sound personal si revolutionar. Are ceva din aerul primului Burial in modul in care iti expune o cu totul alta latura a unui stil pe care credeai ca il stii. Albumele astea duc lucrurile mai departe.
“There are sonic Easter Eggs for a thousand listens here, and it would take six pairs of headphones and an equal number of high-grade strains of weed to track them all down. Happy hunting.” Pitchfork
Sincer, nu m-am intors de la 10daysoff.be cu nimic. Au avut un line-up de criza, cam pe saracie, comparat cu cele din anii trecuti, multi belgieni si nici un trend bine reprezentat. Minimalul stiam in ce groapa e, electro-ul a decazut in doar cativa ani intr-o chestie simplista si vulgara, “de regie”, iar dubstepul a ajuns un fel abstract monkey music. Nu vreti sa vedeti belgieni ascultand dubstep (si nici belgience mancand maioneza la 4 dimineata). Doar trei chestii m-au impresionat: setul lui Ben Klock si doua live-uri: Matias Aguayo si Tim Exile. Amandoua sunt spectacole in sine, nici vorba de producatori seriosi absenti in spatele laptopurilor. Miscare scenica, atitudine de showman, microfon, hardware. Din zone muzicale diferite, dar amandoi crossover si reformatori, poate ca tipul asta de live este trendul absent.
Banuiesc ca daca mai auziti ceva de Akufen va enervati dar asta chiar e o recomandarea a lui, un canadian de la acelasi label pe care eu pana acum nu il ascultasem, cu un sunet foarte asemanator, adica foarte misto.
“Moritz Von Oswald is a name that needs little introduction to anyone who has followed Techno, Dub or any kind of electronic music over the last 15 years. Since the early 90’s he’s tirelessly applied his discipline to a range of styles and genres with seminal work as part of Maurizio, Basic Channel, Rhythm & Sound and his own name besides a mind blowing number of side projects, mastering jobs and engineering work. His most recent project has attempted to consolidate the studio processes which have defined the majority of his output with a live or improvisational element as part of his “trio” including the capable skills of sound designers Vladislav Delay aka Sasu Ripatti and Max Loderbauer of Sun electric and more recently NSI fame.
“Despite its title, Soothing Sounds for Baby isn’t just for infants. When it was recorded by composer / electronic music pioneer Raymond Scott, it was intended for babies — but history has endowed this deceptively simple work with a broader significance. Had Scott known that this elemental music’s appeal would continue as its target audience grew up, he might have entitled the series Sophisticated Sounds for Baby…
