10 years after "Gino Niemiz und Die Berliner Abstrakt Symphonien System" (Nk071), the protagonists had the urge to REGROOVE the whole contraption in order to deliver a more sensual, more syncopated "stamp" version. It is possible, during playback, due to the exact repetition of the titles of pieces, to play the 2 albums alternately, and to chain the 2 versions of the same piece. Enjoy !

44’ debut album, connected to old-school Bryn Jones, Scorn and illbient / ambient / IDM / dark or abstract hip-hop artists such as famous DJ Shadow and almsot as famous Skiz “Spectre” Fernando. […] One can find some ingested [sampled] György Ligeti pieces, a subliminal very low-soundish way, as an almost dumb layer which is bathing a few tracks, there also are harsh noise or indus performances mainly from 90s-early 2000s; and yes, Olive Oatman had a very beautiful and fascinating face; her life is touching and strangely powerful. Oh, conceptual references to William Burroughs written universe or poetry and maybe techniques are legion. I wrote somewhere he could be stuck hearing this kind of things — and maybe playing Guillaume Tell with… Olive Oatman? on a Blade Runner LoFi soundtrack? — in the basement of an Interzone filthy bar. I lived in Budapest for years and Hungarian underground culture, often referring to József Attila “flesh” monument, may have to do with Esiön too. It is an underground Western trip. Felt a Mitteleuropa way I guess.

"I made this album by recording three different 10 km runs along the same route in Velenje. I was catching the sounds of the surroundings, the breathing, and the rhythm of the running that was happening. At some points, I have also improvised with breathing while running and playing with the sound of the breath.
I have added the running sound atmospheric sounds. The concept was simple. Slow shifts in tone separately in the right and left channels, where I used the YamahaYPT-210 and the Korg MS20 mini. I used two smaller synthesizers Bastl Kastland Korg volca keys to creating the noise. Sound of MS 20 mini, YPT-210 and KastlI have also manipulated with the guitar effects electro-harmonics' Freeze,tc electronics' Hall of fame 2, Boss's Metal zone MT2, EarthQuaker devices' Avalanche run and mwfx' Judder.
The album is a symbolic representation of the internal and external happening during the run and jokingly ecological, as it encourages separate waste collection. Before running, I really dumped mixed, biological and glass waste separately. In a way, running is an internal cleansing for me, and it clears my mind. It allows me to, among other things, to reflect on the concepts and approaches of my musical creation."

Words and Musics by Picard Jolibois, except track 10, text by Pierre Desproges.

"Album "Oldies but Noises" is returning to my musical roots. It is a tribute, but at the same time also a re-think about the messages that the oldies goldies can give us today. What they can tell us if we dust them and put them inperspective of noise music, which itself offers a challenge to our comfortable everyday routine western civilization life.
Selection of the songs.
I kept it clean with old fashioned manner songs made till the end of 60's. I've excluded all new (rock, alternative, garage, punk …) music from the late 60's which had also a big influence on me. The selected songs had to be music of my "early age sound memory", the music that I've heard my dad playing form the tapes in our car. So, to me oldies goldies are great music I listened in the same room with my father.
Why the need?
In this experiment I wanted to work with the material that I love since I remember and that has built my basic musical taste. During the process, new perspectives and messages from the songs have appeared. It was like talking to the elders, who are full of experience and can tell you so much about life in a simple and easy to understand way. Today we are often forgetting about the history and we think everything is new. We consider history to be obsolete and irrelevant. I think we need to understand it and show respect to it while developing further by making our own experiences. In the age where old is something bad, this by the way is a construct of consumerism, we need history to learn from to become more humans and less consumers. Else …
Songs.
· Blue moon.
Published : 1935. Composer : Richard Rodgers. Lyricist : Lorenz Hart.
It's the one and only king of r'n'r Elvis. I have always pictured a lonesome cowboy with a broken heart riding slowly in to the sunset singing this song. Yes, this is an ultimate song about loneliness and alienation that our civilization is facing more and more, even though we have more possibilities to connect than ever. I went into this song as it came to me. Soft and gently, lonesome talking to the blue moon, with a gentle touch of digital noise sounds in the back.
· I put a spell on you.
Released : November 1956. Songwriters : Jay Hawkins, Herb Slotkin.
Screaming Jay Hawkings represents to me freedom in voice. His "madness" expressed in voice is just something that I never stopped looking up to. It is a reminder how much freedom we can choose to have in our everyday life. The song came out to me in a new dimension with the use of more vocals, underlaying reverse lead vocal and all the noise. I understand it as a story about addiction and not so much as a love story.
· Sun ain't gonna shine.
Released : August 1965. Songwriters : Bob Crewe, Bob Gaudio.
Even before I knew who Scott Walker was, I was in love with this song as a very young boy. It sounds so majestic and positive, giving you the feeling that it is great to be alone and unhappy in love. I wanted to explore the dark side of the song with a piezzo microphone sound recording of the manipulating of a tin sheet.
· Money
.Released : August 1959. Songwriters : Janie Bradford, Berry Gordy
This is actually a song about capitalism's biggest value. Persuading money and profits is one of the biggest problems of human society leading to deadly environmental consequences. More than ever, we do not appreciate what has true value to our lives and this song is telling it straight. Catching the biggest profit will take as all down the drain. Maybe UBI could change our every day fight to pay our monthly bills and we could find more energy to do something what matters.
· Over the Rainbow.
Published : 1939. Composer : Harold Arlen. Lyricist : E.Y. Harburg.
I was so afraid of the wicked witch in the Wizard of Oz, but the song Over the rainbow with all its innocence of dreams just bring warm and longing feelings out of me. Every time I hear this song, I start to hum it. While I was working on this song, I started to see the lyrics from the perspective of a refuge. So, I dedicate this interpretation to all refuges out there with a warm wish to find peace and their piece of a land over the rainbow. I believe in human right to live a decent and dignifying life for each of us, regardless of any reason you may find.
· Blue suede shoes.
Released : February 1956. Songwriter : Carl Perkins.
I used to wear suede shoes a lot and this was sort of an anthem to me. To me it represented freedom and openness with clear borders and it stayed that way after the adaptation of the song. With a bit more warning in the message as today men and women are getting more individualized and separated to each gender side than to live together in peace. We all would need more unconditional love to overcome our differences and allow each other even to step on blue suede shoes.
· What a Wonderful World
.Released : 1967. Songwriters : Bob Thiele (as George Douglas), George David Weiss.
Louis Armstrong was probably the first singer that opened fun world of vocals to me. I was not aware of that at that time, but I remember good feelings listening to his playful voice. So, this one is made only of pure voice without any additional machines. I wanted to create a world and the song spoke to me back with its ecological point. Do we still perceive the lyrics as we did in 1967? Can we still be just a passive observer?
· Summertime.
Released : 1935. Composer : George Gershwin. Lyricists : DuBose Heyward, Ira Gershwin.
Summertime follows more strongly me since middle school although father has played Ella and Louis version in the car. The version from Janis Joplin, who is one of my beloved musical voices has such a strong interpretation. I didn't know that this song was originally made for opera. The lyrics hold such a strong and sad story about the beginning of the life and human nativity of a woman who had a child with the rich man.
· Where did you sleep last night ?
Songwriters : Traditional
The movie about Leadbelly was one of the first movies about musicians I saw in my life. I watched it on television. I couldn't understand Leadbelly, but have enjoyed the music and the way he sang his way out of the prison. In the 90's Nirvana did a cover of this song and I still love it. Where did you sleep last night is (also known as In the pines) an American folk song and tells a terrifying story about racism. Sadly, we are living in times when racism is getting stronger again. We can not forget about human history, only this way we can become better and more human.
· My Way
.Released : 1969. Songwriters : Claude François and Jacques Revaux.
English lyrics : Paul Anka.
I Still remember excitement when I first heard the Sex pistols version of My way. It opened a vast musical landscape of possibilities to me. Everything can be done and it is possible to make old sound fresh. Well I also love Frank Sinatra and his velvet voice. Since we live in an era of individualization and ego, I made this version of My way with emphasis on I and MY words. We all want to do it my way, but this is exactly why and how we are destroying this world. A true peace and prosperity for each of us is far, far away and in my opinion hides in OUR WAY.
Noise Music.
To me noise music should involve a provocation and needs to push listener to rethink the world around. Noise music is the test of your tolerance.
Copyrights and permissions.
In the past I have tried to reach out to the authors or companies that manage the rights and I never got any feedback. So, I don't have them but this is anyway not meant to be a commercial project, and is considered fair use. If any of the authors feel offended or anyhow deprived, I will humbly remove the song from the album."

Fraternal duo formed by Ioa and Satyavan Beduneau (Toulouse, France) experimenting with improvised music and sound installation. An installation / performance in situ, summoning both sound and light streams, musical enhancement and texts. The imperceptible waves have been made sensitive. We opted for technologies and lenses manufactured or hacked.

About this album :
The album "Juste un fragment" is made of improvisations recorded in 2017 and 2018. They are then cut, stacked, sampled and re-orchestrated in a quick and intuitive process close to improvisation. As I usually do since 2001, many fragments of earlier recordings and albums are also reused, processed and handled in loops or textures. With this manufacturing method, the music is spontaneous, immediate, organic, but it is also the result of a slow evolution of a raw material constantly rediscovered.

In this record, Igor performs a free improvisation with his 8 strings guitar, no effects, pedals or any other instrument. Just clean guitar and his mind, practicing 4 songs totally alive in studio.
The way how music is treated in industry it's the reason why Igor choose the names of album title and its tracks.

At the time, we had dreamed of. In fact, they did.
Here is a valuable archive emerged of the drawers of our three beloved monsters. A summit meeting between heavy electronica and Matter informalist duet Tuuli / Tulii (J.Gowthorpe and A.Degrenier) and joli-joli vocals spasms, closer to a Mark E. Smith in alcoholic coma as his usual testosteroned post-synthpop. These improvisations sessions dating from 2011-2012 were fortunately saved of waters (Nantaise ...) by our specialist of waterways joli-joli. And by the grace of his scissors, gives us to understand eight pieces really intense.
And measured for what would have given the project if it had been pursued.

The compositions were produced in a manner of inner space revelation or even a dialogue between inner and outer space. Due to volumetric range of tones every track hatches from it's own deep corner of an unknown universe...
Figuratively about the canvas: in sound space of this work textures are mostly synthesized in transparent vacuum with warm shades in a move towards eternal, flavored with sharp cold spray of logical structures.
Generally the author is an ordinary individual from Crimea, Konstantin Tolcheyev. He has been brought to condition of internal detonation and eventually that took a form of sound.

Last month, the National Library of France (BNF, Paris) has invited us to make a deposit of phonographic works in his illustrious background. We received this invitation as a gift made in our humble label for its ten years of existence. Indeed, in 2005, we published the first Nowaki reccord, and up to 2008, we have released a dozen. We have filed the few references we had left in stock:
Won : "a forest" (nk-r01/nk004, cd, 2005)
Ultralibéral : "Ecotourisme" (nk-r06/nk014, dvd audio, 2006)
Traqueurs de Combes : "Attentifs ensemble" (nk-r07/nk016, cd, 2006)
Ultralibéral : "L'âge d'or, encore" (nk-r09/nk024, cd, 2007)
Ultralibéral : "Unshock the monkey-the Mons project" (nk-r11/nk029 et nk030, cd mp3, 2008)
This online is a small compilation of this five reccords, a way for us to mark the occasion. A small booster shot too, just to remember from which comes Nowaki, originally a small self-production label based in Toulouse (south-west of France), a friends story, that has since much evolved.
A way also to thank Mr Zanzotto of the BNF for the surprise and honor he brought us.

Storm Among Stars.
01 - Journey :
It was a long way from home. A new home. A colony, far away from Orderaki overlords. Epsilon Eridani, the home of human kind. Their birthplace destroyed, they journeyed far and within time, they have entered the system. Two planets, quite cold, a debris disk of remnant planetesimals and two belts of asteroids. "A beautiful place...", said Jaroslava Zadiska, captain of the Darius, the sleeper ship.
Jaroslava was also a granddaughter of a famous but brutal space pirate, Drago, of the same surname. Most of the crew awakens as they arrive
above Epsilon Eridani b, and they begin to land. Creation of the first cities, farms and terraforming systems will take time.
02 - Colonization :
Many years pass and the Eridanians have suffered, but endured. Their populations have grown, their factories built ships and transports. Even machines for war. Science was flourishing.
Jaroslava slowly grew old as she led her people to a brighter future. How did she become a leader ? She was chosen - due to the fact that pirates of old gave birth to the rebellion against the Orderak empire. She knows her resolve must be strong. Rebuild, colonize, create a powerful Empire. Then fulfill your vengeance, even if you are old.
03 - Progress Driven By Vengeance :
And it was not just Jaroslava Zadiska, their leader. Eridanian humans all had a wish for vengeance. Their home was destroyed, their birthplace.
It was a great Empire that did it in the name of their own 'justice', but they slaughtered the families of Eridanians, their friends, their freedom, their independence. They work for survival... and vengeance. United in these two tasks, they grow fast and well.
The Republic of Eridania becomes one - a united but hidden power within the galaxy.
04 - Shadow Contacts :
When economy was fully utilized and the food supply was no longer in danger, the leadership of Eridania began to plan. The plan to strike back, to seek out vengeance and destroy the Orderak Empire once and for all. Archives told of an enemy of the Orderak. The Shadows, Shades. The one enemy Orderak were never able to defeat and they hated each other. A thought - perhaps they will assist.
Since defensive and powerful fleet was built, they have decided to try and send a message to the parts of the Milky Way where Shades lived.
It was not long before Shades appeared right above Epsilon Eridani. It was a tense moment. However, communication was established.
05 - Diplomatic Tendencies :
The ship of the so called Shades was large. Very large. Long approximately 4200 meters (while Eridanian ships were 1000 meters long). Fear was present in both. Who knows, this could all be Orderak trap. Tensions still existed, but eventually, the Shade diplomats agreed to land on the surface.
06 - Meeting Shade Face to Face
It was strange as the Shades seemed new and unusual to Eridanian humans. During the talks it was found out that they are not called Shades or shadows, but Karodians, but were named Shades due to their advanced cloaking technology. The Karodians had five legs, which they could also use arms and hands, each with four fingers. Their single eye black, and they always had to keep masks on their faces, due to their life being based on selenium. They wielded strange black colored rifles, which, according to Karodians, used a large and high powered beams of alpha particles against organic and other life forms. They used other types of weaponry too.
07 - Common Enemy :
The diplomatic talks began shortly after the cultural exchange. Once the language barrier was finally fully passed, they agreed - Orderak are a threat.
The Karodians were fighting them for the last six hundred years. Many died in defense of Karodia, but once cloaking devices were created, it became easy. Although the war became a stalemate, the Orderak enslaved and conquered other galactic races to plunder their resources.
Orderak were a powerful empire, which is filled with corruption, and "filth", as diplomat Xozoruk stated. They agreed, again, that with combined
military operation, they should be able to reach Orderak, the capital of the Orderak Empire, and defeat them once and for all.
08 - Hatred Stronger Than Stars :
Beautiful to see two kinds work together against a common foe, a foe that killed so many of them. Their thirst for vengeance has been great. War was their only option as they both thought diplomacy was certainly out of the question until the Orderak were brought to their knees. Death before surrender or defeat.
09 - Warlike Alliance Rises :
"Within two of your years...", diplomat Xozoruk demands, "... we will begin the offensive. We will send you coordinates to Orderak and other planets closer to you. Together we will attack them.". Jaroslava, as the elected leader of humans, agreed. A treaty was signed.
10 - Through Krasnikov Wormholes :
Eridanian human scientists worked for whole two years on new technologies that would allow them to attack the Orderak efficiently. They thought they would not succeed in time, but, basing his work off a scientist named Krasnikov, Jamal Darin, one of the brilliant Eridanian scientists, finished a faster than light drive that would deliver them to their destination very fast, even faster than Karodians. New ships, larger and better were built, now even up to 2200 meters long. It was a glorious two years for Eridanians.
And when the time was ripe, the offensive began. The offensive lasted for several months, and many had fallen, until they finally reached Orderak Prime, the capital planet of the Orderak...
11 - Battle for Orderak :
The old enemy of the Humans is here, in orbit of Orderak Prime, admiral Tonura, with a very large fleet of surviving Orderak spaceships. The combined two Eridanian and Karodian fleets were hardly a match for it. As soon as the two fleets came out of their respective faster-than-light drives, space mines activated and destroyed many ships. Admiral Tonura quickly ordered a counter attack and a vast battle began.
The Orderak also had new technology, admiral Tonura commanded his fleet from their new behemoth, battlecruiser Daxzri, the largest ship in the
known universe, approximately 14 kilometers long. However, both humans and Karodians had something up their sleeves.
Although an hour and a half late, Jaroslava and another human fleet came rushing into battle with 15 newly created ships, the newest of technology.
The battle itself seemed to be a draw, no one being able to take advantage.
The chaos of battle brought most of the ships some distance away from Orderak Prime and with main part of the battle now being fought near its moon, a new fleet came in. This one, however, was strange. It only had two small support ships and one larger battleship of Karodian design. It was different from other Karodian battleships. All three ships were headed straight for Orderak Prime, the two support ships defending the
battleship, shielding it from unwanted enemy fire. Once in position, it has fired many strange but slow moving missiles at the planet. Then, a large cannon, looking like one of their rifles, began to charge and fired at the planet.
Large nuclear explosions began to appear on the planet. The cannon's beam seemed to have heated up the atmosphere additionally, seemingly
making a global firestorm on Orderak Prime. "An eye for an eye".
The Orderak fleet was eventually defeated, with admiral Tonura and a few other ships retreating into unknown space.
12 - No more Orderak :
The planet of Orderak Prime was still there - but like Earth, no living being was left on it. "An eye for an eye.".
War has brought an end to an Empire. Only ashes remain of its home. Dark vengeance fulfilled, of both kinds. Jaroslava, however, received a message, from the diplomat of Karodian fleet. "Now, we are alone. Perhaps you shall be next. Our alliance is over, and our unending war finally finished."
"We will retake the territories of our once mighty Empire, and you...", diplomat Xozoruk notified Jaroslava, "... and your little planet are in the way."
The Karodian fleet turns against the Eridanian fleet now, and begins to attack. Eridanian fleet falls back to Epsilon Eridani, and begins
preparing for a mighty invasion...
13 - Ashes of an Empire :
A fallen Empire that fought for its power and an existing Empire that has fallen. Chaos ensues the galaxy, as now free planets become independent. New opportunities are now here, for new alliances...
Many are conquered by Karodians, some ally with admiral Tonura, some with Humans...
But will there be the end to this war?
Perhaps in the next chapter.

Gentle rhythms, chords pulsed, subtle layers of noise, incomplete melodies, audio bugs, polyrhythm, stillness, darkness, water of a pool moving slowly, the constant sound of a road in the distance, waiting time, fm radio passing the hit, nails freshly painted, the last days of summer.
Music that embraces the wait, sounds that decorate the room, not wanting endure sounds, sounds that do not mean anything, sounds not want to be remembered.

"Wandering The Way"
Solo Tenor Banjo Improvisations 2010-2012
Beyond the baggage of its history generally, i.e. Appalachian folk tunes, hillbillies etc, there's not much I actually know about the banjo as an instrument. The tenor banjo in particular (on which these back-porch and late-night-solace improvisations were recorded) I happen to know even less, except maybe that it was this four-string variant (as opposed to the more common five-string banjo with the extra tuning-key halfway up the neck) that was used backing pop/swing orchestras in the early to mid 20th century.
Anyways, my approach to the t.b. is more informed by the blues of Mississippi Fred McDowell or the harpsichord music of J.S. Bach (and of course our man Eugene Chadbourne has explored that territory; that is: banjo and Bach, thoroughly and peerlessly)… but even more so in the case of this assembly of captured mumblings, music of the Tao as played by Chinese Masters of the Giqin - another instrument I know little-to-nothing of, historically or culturally; but that it has a similar tone and timbre as my beloved banjo.
I hope then that listeners of these pieces can hear them as I did, as coming forth out of the sonorities of the instrument itself without any more intent than hearing its voice and resonances in fleeting moments - undoubtedly naive, indeed; but fragile and honest also… and informed by a deep love for the Way and the efficacy of uselessness.

"Our world is just information coded with an infinite number of numbers between 0 and 1, and controlled by the Great Organizer Dimensional with his huge capacity, G.O.D.
Bugs exist, impossible events happen sometimes, incompatible states coexist as proofs.
On this day of december 2012, three musicians leave Albuquerque at 3:13 pm to
L.A. in a blue minibus decorated with mauve flowers. At 5:17pm, a meteorit crashes
on the minibus. At he same time, G.O.D misfunctions.
As Schrödinger's cat before opening the box, passengers of the minibus are both dead and alive.Except that, in this case, the box was opened.
The remains found between crushed iron sheets were buried,but even so the JCA trio journeyed on to LA in the same minibus perfectly blue with mauve flowers.
Before G.O.D rectifies this bug, they came in a studio and recorded a proof, this album, two days after their death."

"Second album of The Owlest from Terebovlya, Ukraine, has more modern classical sounding than previous, but there are still notes of easy listening and fairy-tales. Imaginary Pianist Of Imaginary Orchestra is about imagination. It is about weird people, those like to imagine everything. Their fantasy is so powerful, that they can imagine little orchestra with piano and talented pianist. They could walk and hear music of their imaginary orchestra in their heads. Beautiful music with piano, because pianist playing louder, than other musicians and more wonderfully."

"This album collects some of the fallen fruit synth box the computer's microphone piano.
These are fruits harvested between late 2011 and April 2012. Found randomly picked, tasted, sorted, put aside a little cleaning. Here they are.
Enjoy the game, the replay, I'll say it again, re-link the electronic computer, the reinvite instrumental afford pulse again, and even a few voices.
Finally for me this is the real return to the music itself after meter devoted to electroacoustic and multimedia only for 15 years.
Hard-played sometimes, therefore, assumed, finally, human gesture, and the virtuosity of M.Ordinateur, beautiful metronomes. Claps a bit in places, hums, murmurs, it pulsates, it wanders it.
Some fruits are ripe, others a little green, acids, sweets, weirds i hope.

"After finishing 'Leaving in waves' last year, I had no idea what I wanted to do next. I only knew that I didn't want to create something similar with my previous work. So I started experimenting with new sounds, trying to keep things simple. I deliberately kept the orchestrations as minimalistic as possible and made them relatively short, like a glimpse to what could someday become a real track. After working like this for about 5 months I realised I had come up with about 30 ideas, many of which were really bad, of course. So, I chose only 9 of them - the ones that still had a meaning to me - and edited them to this album. However, I wasn't sure that I liked the result production-wise, so I decided not to ever release it. It was only a month ago that I listened to the whole work again, made a few changes in the sound and found it a good idea to share it with you and anybody else that could be interested." C.A.

Disquiet Junto Project 0039: Netlabel Derivations.
"Each Thursday evening at the Disquiet Junto group on Soundcloud.com a new compositional challenge is set before the group's members, who then have just over four days to upload a track in response to the assignment...
...The assignment was made early in the afternoon, California time, on Thursday, September 27, with 11:59pm on the following Monday, October 1, as the deadline...
...The netlabel phenomenon is a tremendous force in contemporary music, with hundreds of these small organizations around the world actively distributing for free the music of willing musicians. In many ways, the concept of the netlabel is at the forefront of the Creative Commons except for one lingering issue: Many netlabels set their tracks to a license that doesn't allow for derivative works. On a label-by-label basis, that's likely an informed decision. But from a broader perspective, it arguably stunts the promotion of shared culture.
In order to encourage the employment of licenses that allow for derivative works, such as remixes, the Disquiet Junto will focus its collective attention this week to a netlabel that allows for derivative works. We'll take three tracks from three different releases from the Nowaki label, based in Toulouse, France, and combine them into remixed celebrations of the label's vibrancy.
So, the assignment this week is simple. Please download the following three tracks from the netlabel Nowaki and combine them into a new track. You can process the sourced audio in any way you choose, but you can't add anything to it...
...This Disquiet Junto project was done as a celebration of the efforts of the Nowaki netlabel, and to support its employment of licenses that allow for derivative works. This track is comprised of three pieces of music: Irise by Barascud (nk104), Sumatra by André D / Christophe Meulien (nk106), and She Likes to Look at the Sky by Kluge (nk089). More on the Nowaki label, and the original versions of these tracks."
"...The Nowaki netlabel was selected for the Juno project for a simple reason: while there are many netlabels (some 500 or so active ones at this stage, releasing music intentionally for free download), and while their practice embraces the Creative Commons, very few go the next step and make their music available for the production of derivative works. Nowaki is the sadly rare exception. So it was that, in the end, 19 Disquiet Junto members went to work on a handful of Nowaki tracks..."

" Talk To Night Trees is an album of easy listening music, that takes your hand and bring you to a fairy world. This music is whole of different feelings, emotions and weirdness. If you close your eyes, you'll find yourself in night forest. There is very dark and pleasantly. You feel any fear. You hear some noise in the grass. This is little hedgehog, you pet his back and go on.
You see big yellow moon, which look like a golden coin, through the branches. It lights on pine with a couple of owls in branches. They read letter aloud, because it is also intended for trees too. You shut eyes and feels smell not only of pines, but also of nettles and cinnamon. That aroma dopes your head. You open eyes and think that stars on a sky are like freckles on a face.
You hear noise of the wind and it breaks your thoughts in the middle. You go in deeper forest blindly, believing in your feelings and inside compass. You hear rustling of the lake bulrush, but there are no bulrush and no lake. There are your insomnia and entropy, which bites in head like an alcohol. You feel some touch to shoulder. That's violet bird, which fly away in that moment, when you open your eyes.
You come close to big tree, hug it and begin to talk with it. You talk about everything in the world. You talk about hedgehogs and forests, about nocturnes and post marks, about more, than 9 centuries of Terebovlya and owls, which lives in that town, about ruins of the old fortress and town hall, about church bells and roadway, about birds, which have violet color and nettles among cinnamon.
You fall silent suddenly, cause understanding, that you living in real fairy. You and the tree. " Nazariy Zanoz.

Nowaki second album for the prolific Philippe Lamy. Earlier this year, I told Philippe about the possibility of a concert this year (see live nk091). Never happened in public, the man is driven to work "live", using different pieces gleaned from our extensive catalog. A strength test, mixtures, it eventually led, by chance, a set of tracks, ultimately very 'Lamien". Kind of anti-remixes, evoking more the impression, the sketch, a any reconstruction. Tribute album to the label's artists, this Nowaki mix (no-mix) reminds me of a project ten years ago, led by the famous Stephan Mathieu as Full Swing, which proposed, in terms of remixes , pieces of which nothing remained of the original frame a trace faded. Watercolours sound, much like here. Philippe is primarily a painter, and it shows.

"No Love, Please - a kind of this kind of dedication to any kinds of screaching and creaking... for different sound fragments, it (screaching) was removed from the different objects and sources: for example - from building facades and the crumpled foil to the guitar strings and five-day stubble of unshaven .. In addition, in the last song found a place a stereotyping of social-cultural perceptions of France...Its eternal struggle for justice, a politically youth activity and....love..love..."

"These two pieces marked my debut : "Nuage secret ", with the MAO, which I did not feel very comfortable, and " T13 ", with Larsophone (sound sculpture acting on the feedback in the spread of galvanized steel) in which my spontaneity and freedom were at my appointment, my past where instruments, with the feelings arising, allowed me to be on a staging where the play was nice.
"Nuage secret" is a piece made from sounds taken from so-called traditional instruments(tubular bell, prepared piano). For the record, I do not yet know Morton Feldman when I have performed this piece. The sound and all the MAO were carried out by myself.
"T13", a piece made with the Larsophone, an MPC spitting sounds MS10 and full of pedals, was recorded by Thierry Dilger with Shoeps microphones. We hear occasional pedal clicks that I fully assume.
I like the sensation of drawing music and, at times, of writing department. That's why I approached the analog and the sound pure, preparing speakers, paying attention to materials and the places where I play.
The human species has evolved technologically very quickly. As an artist, I think there is still much to discover with a soldering iron and acoustics, because they are living materials. "

three artists from the label (Golem mécanique, Traqueurs de combes, Tuuli / Tulii), and three artists whose sets were particularly impressed (Triton, Iris Lancery, Poborsk), and we hope future collaborations with them.
We would, by this uploads, keep track of this very pleasant day, and thank all the participants of this event intimate (even those that we have not chosen, another time perhaps), in particular Jonathan and David Ona for the excellent conduct of these concerts, and Emmanuel Pidoux, founder and head of Grain d'Aile for its initiative and its reception.

Parametic Delay is a duo from Malang, Java (Indonesia) formed in 2007 by Benk Robo and Ditta. The use of toy instruments characterized their electronic pop productions.
Also being made members of the music in your room (chamber music), they created their own process of recording and mixing, using a simple software and hardware, while still demanding about the quality of production.
The duo released its first mini-album SELF TITLE in 2009 and returned in 2010 with the well-received SUNDAY MORNING EXERCISE. We are very pleased to welcome on Nowaki their third EP, released simultaneously this month on NOSOURCE, an American net label from Boston. A true international co-production for an intimate and energetic, nostalgic and
colored work. Tenderness of the Tropics. Sharp waves.

"On this third mini-album we want to tell everybody that we as humans surely have a cycle of life that must had been around by every human, that is maturity. At our age that has passed through 20s we often imagine how our childhood was, wishing what if we shrink and back into a kindergarten who ran endlessly, tirelessly playing and filled with a joyous smile. The first song in our modest work is entitled "Childhood Reheated" that contains all of our imagines.
We always fulfilled with many kind of dreams, filled with tales which told by our parents, start with the house made of cake and chocolate, playing football in the clouds, being a dwarf, being a superhero, up to dreaming about a small spots of ice cream rain although in our country was not snowing. These memories are presented in the next song, "Drizzle ice".
When we are growing up we might be a bit forgotten with so many dreams in the past when we were as a kid, either because the dynamic of social life or other things that make us oblivious. We simply want to reachieve those childhood dreams, while it is difficult or maybe impossible to reach. This obsession is contained in a song "Depict the dream".
When we were teenagers, as well as others we also falling love, but this love is universal, it could be affection, peacefulness, mutual understanding, also shared some happiness. Now love itself is too hard to get in this life, which nowadays full of war and chaos. Through the song entitled "Love song before sleep" we always not giving up to hope that love will always be around us, when we fall asleep and stay there when we open our eyes.
We always want to share all the memories and hopes of this dream, not for everyone but for the hearts of all people. This is the emotion that we get when we were working on our last song "To your Heart". We hope, all of us which undergo a cycle of life, grow up and grow older stay awake in the memories, hopes, dreams and love that will always make the world warm." P.D.

The United States has lost World War II and is occupied by foreign powers.
The eastern seaboard has fallen under German control, while the West Coast is under the sway of Japan.
The South is a Vichy-type regime with the strings pulled by Nazi collaborators, while the Midwest
and Rocky Mountain regions are quasi-independent, buffer zones separating the two occupying powers.
Tensions between Germany and Japan simmer beneath the surface, and the threat of a nuclear conflict
between them is ever present.

As the foot strikes the ground there is also some flexion in the knee.
This should not be too excessive so leg strength must be developed to ensure stability in and around the knee.
There is also some movement around the hip girdle.
This can be excessive, so strength exercises for the whole region, especially abdominal and lower back are required.
It is very important that this region is kept stable thus giving a strong platform from which to drive.

Captain Dan Tracey and his two lieutenants are ordered to investigate trouble on the resort planet Clitoris,
a pleasure world filled with shopping and gambling where, according to the "Articles of the Venus Convention",
only women are allowed. A variety of problems are occurring on the planet; most notably, several important pieces of "Girlinium"
have been stolen from the Empress Nueva Gabor. "Girlinium", as explained by the Empress, is a very rare gem found only in the caverns
of the fourth moon of Girlina, a distant planet. It is used by the Empress to help the planet maintain its delicate orbit surrounding its sun.
The stolen pieces must be found or the planet will fall into ruin as evidenced by increasingly violent earthquakes. The captain and his men,
in order to remain undercover, become women via sex reversal pills and pose as showgirls from Earth performing
a mid-twentieth century lounge act for the Empress' annual off-world slumber party while investigating the crime.

6pyT is the project of a young man living in Krasnodar, a large town south-west of the Russian Republic. Brut (his nickname) loves
experiment, and appreciates the netlabels defending the so-called experimental music, even extreme. It makes noise (beautiful), miniatures, a kind of sound "design" quite adventurous, not afraid of extremes (calm, violence, noise, melody ...), also a nice technical quality and a mature aesthetic view of his young age. Brilliant, smart, instinctive : intelligence in the service of electricity.

"Piccoli pezzi per domani" is a particular musical project,
the soundtrack of a road-movie which takes place from Berlin to Lisbon.
Aboard Fiat 500 red, the protagonist leaves Berlin, loaded with sausages
that he has to distribute throughout his route.
His trip will leave Berlin, will cross by Prague, Frankfurt, Strasbourg, Zurich, Milan, Florence, Monaco, Marseille, Toulouse, Barcelona, Madrid, Salamanca, Porto to end in Lisbon.
On his road he will cross a Syrian lost in Switzerland, a Czech transexuel without money, a couple of Red Setter, an alcoholic nun, a Satanist in mourning, a nerd syphilitic, a dead undertaker, a Roma Prime Minister, Swedish one blind, a band of old vegetarian punks, a Thai extremist and many other intriguing characters but always with a ruddy complexion.
This journey will be for him a discovery as well as an introspection when in the question:
Are we made more friends if we have sausages or is the life is only a delicatessen?

Nanopix lays us (this word is of an ardent current events for him) his best album to this day. More and more rich, more and more melodious, an inspiration which releases itself and a sound which improves, a work which clears up and becomes clearer, an artist who does not stop showing himself. In fact, I always say the same thing concerning the music of Benoît, but I repeat sincerely.

The second part of the project, "The devil art" is more brief, more precise, also more reconstructed, and sharply more rhythmic. Personally, one of the most beautiful publications of the label.

We find Pimp in a project in diptych, sum of an enormous working year. "End of purity " at first, very "ambient, very cinematic volume, constituted by four big improvised parts, everything in material, in a varied instrumentation. A warm but very abstract music, in the strange hidden recesses.

After two enormous projects of this summer, we find Ultraliberal in a brief and licked production. A "live" taking of a top level of listening, Sébastien who makes say things impossible for his guitar ( the last title), and the voice of Roland Barthes in homage to rebelled who come. Too brief and too beautiful...

Traqueurs de Combes' thirteenth project. According to his words, the most accomplished in it days. Always in journey in the electricity, live totally, by means of a guitar, of a bass, of an old Korg Sygma, of varied microphones and of diverse objects, of a computer, he shapes a world which navigates between harmony and violence, beauty and noise. The sound documents speak about polutions, about poison, about news items, about close incidents, or about collective events.
All evoke the fragility of our world, the difficulty living there, making empty our attempts of hope, our refuges in the religion. God becomes the engine of our loss, the person in charge of our misfortunes, freeing finally the man of his own responsibility in front of cataclysms whom he even created him. With strength of larsen, of carillons, pipes and toy, melodies and rhythms, testimonies and songs, Traqueurs de Combes embarks us on a vast sound fresco which oscillates between anger and sadness, Irony and moments of grace. And an enormous tenderness which returns this less abrupt, warmer music in spite of its dark comment. A length travels in a horrified bliss, a kind of abstract "pop" desperately optimistic.

Gino Niemiz is the new recruit of the label, and not the slightest. For those who followed the adventure since its Génèse, Bruno was already there. The first Ultraliberal " Chez Bruno " ( nk009 ) was a live one made at his home, and for whom he realized a movie which we presented you in December (http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xbicf9_ultraliberal-chez-bruno_creation). He also realized two videos for Traqueurs de Combes (http://niemiz.free.fr/Beetween.html and http://niemiz.free.fr/Darius.html). In fact, Bruno is a very old friend, who from Toulouse to Berlin, by way of Paris, always worked at extreme musics, of the most smiling to the nastiest. The work presented here reflects the experimental tendency of the chap, the dark or violent, abstract or funny, virulent pieces or planants, but always ordered with virtuosity, sense of the detail and " good taste ". Those who know his more dance productions
or his performances in public (live, DJ and VJ) are going to be surprised. This music is rough, sometimes, but always, the human being clocks behind, ready to make machines forget. And even if at the certain moments the atmosphere darkens, there are always moments when shines a light which is there to warm our feelings, to give a little of hope. Grave, deep, but with a smile in corner.

Nanopix, always so productive, returns to us with the third album.
With tenacity, doggedness and talent, Benoît develops its sound world towards more melodic horizons, sometimes "ambient" for some. A serene tension escapes from this new opus, as proof of an evolution in continual progress, a universe which grows rich as the trust and the experiment accumulates. We are going to continue to follow him, because we like.

Not long ago, we receive a record sent since London by a young Japanese. We listen to. We melt. We contact. And Here we are, it is there. Finally a real artist Japanese on Nowaki.
It is brief, a quarter of an hour in five pieces, very touching. Something of obviously childish, made, tinkered in an instant, very close to the alive. And then there is a music, and a song, very dreamlike by moment. The last title evokes me a piece of Able. The same painful tenderness. Bizarrely, that makes the good.

Philippe Lamy is a painter and a musician: in these two domains, the expected density results from a stratification where appearance and disappearance chant a rhythm of crossing, an at once contained tone and in wait. In his music, diverse events (sound captures, worked again and transformed sounds, Chopped dialogues, voices, breaths, textures of varied origins), are diverted, confronted and assembled to produce sequences, durations or "narratives", in the particular tints. The asserted intention is to get the listening for instaler an at once dense, fluid and stretched sound space.

Second album of Benoît Balfet for Nowaki, who confirms all the good of which we think of its work. With, in this new opus, a more climatic dimension, a work of the sound in the depth, with always this rhythmic epileptic and this certain sense for the transparent melodies, this " Polar Beep " freezes us as much as it makes us melt. Finally hypnotic. Attention on trees!

We begin this decade with the fiftieth listed of the label, an album of its "founding fathers". After years of prolific, Ultraliberal therefore much more rare these days. The duo no longer living in the same city, last met in the summer of 2008. This session, lost in an computer crash and found recently, introduced three duo improvisations for two guitars, loop station, a micro-switch and two effects pedals. A return to "sources", while gentle radicalism. Even the feedback began to sing. The fourth piece, with Fabrice, announces Pimp. We hope other impromptu sessions of the same barrel.

A new Pimp opus confirms the biting nature of their creations, their ability to create worlds where beauty competes with the abstraction, the cynicism with malaise, where various tools and technologies compete "live" : a reading of our world of over-communication / miscommunication, and permanent war.

"As you might already know, my dog Snoopy left us about a month ago, at
age 18. My mom brought him home when I was 8, and I have been quite
fond of him ever since. Losing that dog was quite tough for me and my
family, and I chose to get over this by making music for my friend.
I'd like to share these few demos with you; I hope you will like them.
Feel free to pass them along to whoever you think might enjoy them as
well.
About the music: these songs were made pretty spontaneously, with no
particular "style" or anything in mind. The whole thing might sound
heterogeneous, but I believe that most notions I associate my dog with
are in there. All tracks were made this month, except "The Longest
Nap", which was recorded last year but only found its place now.
I recorded everything, except:
Smt.k from Arsonore(.net) recorded his version of "This Bell.." based
on the original guitar loop that I sent him. I, in turn, made my
version from his recordings. Bernold Delgoda played the drums on "The
Snack Hunt"; I also sampled his music for the intro of "This Bell..".
Thank you guys!" Julien Demoulin.

Since 2004, Nowaki publishes, distributes and keeps close to artists interested in music and sound practices from today. We offer a catalog of music intimate and hybrid, and trying to reconcile new electronic practices, contemporary composition, art and sound design. Discographic producer for four years, we have chosen to continue our operations by building a platform for music on the Internet. A large platform free and abundant, which we hope will allow us to accommodate more artists, more public, and also to bring together circles, a priori, does not think so.
Virtuality is a tool to discover Nowaki from freely and without coercion. But behind the site, artists are invested and willing, ready to exchange, to meet, to work together, to propose.
We want to provoke a creative dynamic, reflecting concerns of young composers today. And if the music you hear here will not always be obvious, we try it always involves the listener and it generates creativity.
The music does not offer solutions, but it can accompany the life of a mysterious beauty that is not based on either the sense or reason. And we believe that, ultimately, we need this part of the imagination that only promotes the art of music.
Nowaki is run by Sebastian Llinarès and Marc Jolibois. We currently live and work between Paris and Toulouse. Your suggestions are welcome. You can send us your demo by mail or Internet. We will listen carefully and will contact you.
The site was designed by Stéphane Cochard.

6pyT is the project of a young man living in Krasnodar, a large town south-west of the Russian Republic. Brut (his nickname) loves
experiment, and appreciates the netlabels defending the so-called experimental music, even extreme. It makes noise (beautiful), miniatures, a kind of sound "design" quite adventurous, not afraid of extremes (calm, violence, noise, melody ...), also a nice technical quality and a mature aesthetic view of his young age. Brilliant, smart, instinctive : intelligence in the service of electricity.
After studying Fine Arts in Toulouse (Fr.), Alban Tournadre moving towards an exploration of the scene, driven by practicing juggling.
Alongside his work as a photographer, draftsman and musician, he developed a polymorphic forms combining work and performative side to juggled art, poetry, contemporary dance and electronic music.
Alex started music around 1991, screaming in a stereotypical d.i.y. extreme metal band until 1993.
In 1997 he used to do some home-recording alone on a 4-track, using cheap instruments and spent nights experimenting by "playing" electric guitar, totally out of scale and tune, adding some effects, a tiny sampler, a little synth, a drum machine and sometimes lo-fi vocals..
At the end of 1998, Alex started composing on computer under the influence of downtempo idm and jungle.
In 2003 he moved towards breakcore, released many albums on several labels and played live [mostly in the south of France, but also in Belgium, Austria and U.S.A.] with:
GVK, Fuel Insekt, Mutex, Les Trolls, Baby Kruger, BZA, Emotional Joystick, Fridakore, Ruby My Dear, Porion, Le Troisième Doigt, Babyshaker, Hitori Tori, Ars Dada, etc...
2008 was the year of the creation of his own Netlabel:
Subeclectic Records [it was mostly about, idm, breakcore, glitch, ambient and electroacoustic].
About 3 years later, Alex decided to stop the Label.
In 2012 he joined a contemporary art group called Collectif Synchrones where he did mostly live electronics for some kind of surreal poetical performances.
In 2016 he started hell/pop, an experimental side-project with the sound artist Pascale LH.
In 2019, ALX BROKEN seems to be on the way to renew his sound [once again]...
He lives and works in Toulouse, France.
Christophe Meulien :
Christophe Meulien making music, and free improvisation. Follower of the guitar, it also uses digital tablet, bass, piano, and voice, to enrich his music.
In 2005, he met Barre Philips, and participates in workshops each month by this great musician Blue Beef Puget-Ville. Other important meetings followed, and Henri Roger-So what, Philippe Festou and Sound-painting, Corinne and George Montanard with whom he formed the group GMC ... He has participated in various projects with Alain de Fombelle Henri Roger and Jean Pezzali , Lerouge, JP Capes and Maria Petrova, GMC, Antoine Ulmann, Ophelia Brunet, Yoko Sato, Pascal Vandenheuvel, André D, etc..
André D. (Bass, Glockenspiel, synthesizer and various objects) :
Musician without borders, autodidact, atonal music enthusiast and improvised, it multiplies in the late 90s sound experiments in both groups solo include collaborations with Weronika Partyka (sax, duduk, fujara) Christophe Peyre (drums) , the plastic heart pendulum quartet, Yuri Yaremchuk (bass clarinet), Bassu Emanuel (Flute), Tommaso Cavallini (modular synth), David Smith (piano), Matthias Boss (violin), Christophe Meulien (guitar) and many others. ..
Over time he turned to music more instinctive stripped of reason or prior intention, leaving the spotlight to a spontaneous improvisation guided by the spirit, mood, felt the time and place.

promising, but revealing unfortunately a catastrophic experience (the founder of place leaves, the place closes, associative conflicts, betrayals, mistakes, angers etc). Great achievements still up to a certain implosion early 2011 which marks a certain end of an ambition ...and of small enterprise....
2011
Starting from scratch...
WHAT WAS I BEFORE THAT?
Finding answers: before you wrote, you played music, you'd spontaneity, there was in your creations some air and certainly a lot of sarcasm and freedom.
OK I will not ask for grants this time, not to play notes. I will not complete records for writing poetry: I'll do as I want, depending on the pulse freely.
Two years earlier I had bought an acoustic piano with a Silent Midi system, and I had gathered a small studio. Let's go.
In 2012 I redo music for itself, without issue.
The Théâtre2 l'Acte Company (Toulouse) invites me to compose the music for Psaume, after the Georg Trakl's poem. Very profound project.
I start to write poetry and satire.
In sum 2012 = 1997.
(Then in 2013 I have a new light project with my company, iatus, which starts being active again, : an installation for electraocoustic and video, based on the archetype of the river, aiming at being relaxing, purifying…).
Here are the Free Fruits." Arnaud Romet.
It is around the improvised music that meet Romet Arnaud and Eric Demay in 1988.
The first consists keyboards parts of a group of coldwave, the second practice of photography with attitude synestesique - music as vision.
Over the years the collaboration matures slowly, conciler the fixed form of the writing and the opening of the unconscious collage and trance.
Various attempts to explore the possibilities of theater sound, "Next Faramineux" played at Confluence (Paris), the "Spinalien" group, leading to Circus Vicious rich potential project combining psychedelic cabaret, puppetry and performance installations super8 (Circuit Court / les Films sans Qualités, Marseille) around 1993-1995.
Creation to the Belle de Mai 1994 residence, a few dates in Marseille and Geneva but it lacks a strong organization in the project to disseminate the osmosis of a dozen designers.
Arnaud forms in electroacoustic composition and initiates its multimedia theater company IATUS, Eric rides his 1KA experimental industrial project in 1995 and participates in the tribal techno adventure.
Much later, with a certain "maturity" friendship gives rise to collaboration, this time formalized. In 2008 Arnaud Eric invites a reflection on a multimedia adaptation of Plato's cave and write some rhythm parts to The Grotto.
Having always played together as electroacoustic improvisation, in 2013 the meeting of two singular universes (industrial drives and dreamy shades) takes the form of an album of sound poetry, conceived as a disturbing dream movie: KTONOKINO - cinema of the embedded world for the ear around their own texts. They plan a live version.
Arnaud and Eric live and work in the Toulouse area (France).

"I have been playing around with minimal and soundscape sounds for a few years but it had never occured to me to go public with any of it, except for some music that I had written for an installation project and 2 small theatrical shows. However, in 2011 I decided to use the name Clayton Alpha for everything I'm involved in and began to write music that is mostly inspired by"

It meets at 6 years his first musical instrument: the Gmebogosse. This electroacoustic instrument developed by FLAG (Group Electroacoustic Music of Bourges), so it brings the first light that will guide later, namely the sound synthesis and loop.
During his early adolescence, her connection with music is that commercial and until the discovery of The Future Sound Of London, who reminds him so the relevance of synthetic music. Therefore, he designed his own concept of music by tapping its resources in the festival Summary (in Bourges, http://www.imeb.net/), Dead Can Dance, The Future Sound Of London, Front 242, among which he finds emotion and sensuality of the music.
In 1996, he met Xavier Maupetit, professor of French horn and a member of jazz band [Band ar Jazz], which will be a revelation to him. Indeed, Xavier will be a guide Maupetit implicit in the understanding and analysis of the music for David Gregory. It will help in particular in its mental construction of the music and the sounds visionary projection.
By 1998, Gregory David began composing on a computer using a "tracker, " in which he goes in search of a sound, its own sonic character. He then began a personal quest for him to determine what his senses and sensibilities.
This research will last a decade, during which it will expand its sphere of creativity in digital imaging, both static and animated.

"Walking, landscape, time. Acceleration / compression / accidents. Aymeric de Tapol, Carver sound and video craftsman, designs his music as a story without words, a sensory experience intimate. A puzzle of electronic sounds and organic thin , strange, sometimes oppressive, where saillent snippets of daily life. Listening is akin to a movement drift pan constantly changing. "

The weather is stretched and accelerated, the seemingly tranquil landscapes come to confront situations turbulent, history is never completely known, it is felt ... " Aymeric de Tapol

I'm twenty years old and studying in the fine arts school of Toulouse (Fr). I like the sounds, ambiences, noises, situations... And machinery.
I improvise or compose my music with machines so, with acoustic instruments, radios, vinyl records, microphones, and many other things...
Straddling between a subjective sincerity, isolation, and an unbridled and squeaking approach of tools, I want to make music that resonates deeply in all of us, being the most honest to myself.

Petite biographie à la troisième personne :
Joâo SCHNIER est un individu homo sapiens d'appartenance européo-francométis-ch'ti-malgache ( les consonances portugaises et germaniques de ses nom et prénom sont en grande partie une fausse piste). C'est un musicien.
Outre une formation classique en conservatoire et un diplôme de professeur de musique, il est caractérisé par une clarinette quasi-constamment à proximité des ses mains, une série de blocs de papiers réglés, de crayons et de gommes généralement égarés quelque
part dans son habitat naturel et une situation d'entre deux culturel tout à fait évidente : il est né en Auvergne en 1988, mais à été élevé dans le Gard de 1991 à 2009.
Ajouté à cela un goût coupable pour ( entre autres) l'art d'avant garde, la bande dessinée, la science fiction, les films de Michel Audiard, le golf, les jeux vidéos, l'analyse musicale et la glace à la menthe, on pourra dès lors s'étonner qu'il ait pu se former aussi bien aux Conservatoires de Nîmes ( jusqu'en 2009) et Versailles ( jusqu'en 211) qu'à l'ISDAT
(jusqu'en 2014) .
Il faut croire que la détermination sied bien à un passionné car il est
désormais professeur de clarinette dans plusieurs écoles municipales autour de Toulouse.
Mais le naturel n'est jamais loin, et cet individu finit par s'enticher de composer de la musique, ce qu'il parvient à faire grâce à la patience parfois perplexe de ses professeurs. Les résultats ne manquent pas de faire référence à une large variété de styles, variété dont on donnera idée par le fait suivant : Joâo SCHNIER apprécie aussi bien Boulez, Feldman, Zappa, Nyman, John Adams, les Beatles, Koji Kondo, ou encore la cornemuse écossaise.
joli-joli loves solitude, nature, women, telepathy, History with a capital H, stories with a smaller h, astral travel, evil, goodness also, images that frighten, images that move, moonless nights, the horse racing, the sound of a voice on a phone, the snow on the old televisions, psalms ... But he prefers foremost, and above all : get lost. Do not know where he is, where he comes from, what it was supposed to do, "these memories fluttering in my head are they really mine?" ...
Julien Adrien Lacroix, born in 1984, is a multi-instrumentalist musician turned to studio work. In regular home studio owners, he is interested in bonding different instruments and materials to order by conventional techniques of electro-acoustics and sound synthesis. It is in terms of offsets and noise residuals it seeks to find different spaces, more faithful to the melodic sounds of his recordings.
Russian experimental music group formed in 2008 in St. Petersburg.
Adepts of lo-fi, field recordings and reverbs.

Kluge is one man project from Saint-Petersburg. He started to make field
records and collect different sounds since he was 16 year olds and lived on Kola penitnsula (North of Russia, Mourmansk) in that time. Kluge starts with sound experiments, audio
montages and other manipulations with sound in 2004. Kluge is using field
records, guitar, flute, metalophone, different objects and digital
synthesis...

..." Install a nutrient broth, produce a rumour, make one not aside and be inclined the head, look for in the magnifying glass of the buried indications, to draw something of dépliable, flexible; to take, to move, to adjust, to engage a process where causes and effects succeed one another and where the chronology of the decisions to set or to avoid gets lost. Then, turn around, to see and listen to what we made and get lost itself in a landscape to be cultivated, still. "...
..." My paintings are sensitive plates collecting and recording a narrative: that of the materials subjected to the gravity. This narrative, which spreads in rhythmical sequences, is built by the accumulation and the repetition of simple movements (fill a surface, let stream, recover). The expected density results from a stratification where appearance and disappearance (hang, get up) chant a rhythm of crossing, an at once contained tone and expectation. The main actor of these paintings is the time: it is the one who fixes the density, the various intervals of legibility. "...
Philippe Lamy, painter and plastics technician, teaches the plastic arts to the college of architecture of Toulouse. He is also a researcher in the laboratory li2a.

Latin People With Breathing Problems is André Tejo (Portugal, 1987).

He composes under divers aliases - Latin People With Breathing Problems, Anders Blickmann, Rephrase and Berea - ambulating in a spectrum that can lead from the weirdest abstract texture to more conventional techno.

As a scholar, his interests, passion and expertise have been nourished by four parallel fields: Sociolinguistics, philosophy of language (and translation), comparative literature study and last but not least film studies.
Felip is also a published poet (editions de la Margerides, Labreu édicions) as well as a performer. He constantly pursues collaborations with composers and musicians (Scott Miller, Zeitgeist), painters (Robert Lobet), photographers and of course filmmakers (Ron Gregg). His work has been shown in the United States, France, Spain and the Czech Republic.
As a teacher Felip Costaglioli wants to instill in his students a passion for the aesthetics and ethics of cinema through developing a taste and ability for analytical and symbolic interpretation of a film. He also encourages his students to creatively explore what they have learned throughout the semester (through film, writing, photography and even music).
Marc Jolibois:
Co-founder of Nowaki, and different formations (Traqueurs de Combes,Ultralibéral, Pimp, sWeenDL, Light blue is a trap, Picard et Jolibois). Landscapes, sometimes music, analog and digital, electronic and acoustic, improvisation, ambient-core by hand, post-folk noisy, massive minimalism.
Sébastien Llinares est né en 1978 à Toulouse.
Après une formation classique, des études de musicologie et de jazz, il se concentre sur la création musicale et artistique de son temps. Ainsi, il s'investit dans le milieu des musiques nouvelles et improvisées. Il développe un projet où la guitare côtoie l'électronique, où l'improvisation se mêle à la composition (en solo sous le nom de Won et en duo avec Marc Jolibois sous le nom d'Ultralibéral).
De 2002 à 2006, il crée ses compositions en France et en Europe à l'occasion de concerts ou d'installations sonores. Il intervient par exemple pour la Fondation Cartier, pour le théâtre Garonne, les festivals Printemps de septembre, Siestes électroniques et Novelum à Toulouse, pour le Lieu Unique à Nantes et pour les festivals belges City Sonics et Empreintes Numériques. Tous les travaux liés à ce projet sont édités par le label Nowaki, dont il est le co-fondateur.
Puis Sébastien intègre la classe de Cristian Marcia au conservatoire Frédéric Chopin de Paris. En 2007 et 2008, il est remarqué à l'Académie de Musique de Cagliari (Sardaigne) où la Fondation Zalesky lui décerne une bourse. Cette bourse lui permet de se perfectionner auprès de Rafael Andia et d'obtenir son diplôme supérieur de concertiste à l'École Normale Supérieure de Musique de Paris.
Son professeur dit alors de lui : « Sébastien a un talent unique qui le place au niveau des plus grands. Une technique à toute épreuve, alliée à un son rare, donne à sa musique une force peu commune. Il montre une telle facilité qu'on n'a jamais l'impression d'effort, impression habituelle même chez les grands guitaristes. »
Aujourd'hui, Sébastien Llinares visite le répertoire en cherchant la voie d'un nouveau romantisme où la clarté formelle, la conscience historique et la spontanéité tentent d'établir un dialogue entre les styles et les époques. Il s'intéresse également à l'écriture et compose ou transcrit des pièces inédites pour son instrument, en tentant d'ancrer le vocabulaire de la guitare contemporaine à la puissance expressive de la tradition guitaristique.
Il se produit en soliste et en musique de chambre, notamment à Paris (Salle Cortot, Maison de l'UNESCO), en Sardaigne (Théâtre lyrique de Cagliari) et à Toulouse (Cloître des Jacobins, auditorium Saint-Pierre-des-Cuisines, etc.).
En 2009, il est l'artiste invité du festival de Rabastens (Tarn) dont il conçoit la programmation. En 2010, il est convié à jouer aussi bien par l'ensemble Pythagore, spécialisé dans la musique contemporaine, que pour le festival de l'Ensemble Baroque de Toulouse, où il partage la scène avec le flamenquiste Serge Lopez et Julien Costa. Il accompagne également la chanteuse Sarah Laulan dans une série de récitals de musique espagnole. Enfin, il intègre l'orchestre de l'Opéra Éclaté d'Olivier Desbordes, emmenant ainsi la guitare sur un terrain qu'elle fréquente peu.
Parallèlement à son activité de concertiste, Sébastien enseigne à Paris à l'École de musique Escapades artistiques et écrit pour le mensuel culturel La Terrasse.
Il joue une guitare de concert du luthier australien Caldersmith.
En octobre 2011, son premier disque en solo, consacré à Joaquin Turina,
sera édité par le label Paraty et distribué par Intégral.

"The nobodisoundz project was born in 2008 (with a reference to the character of Nobody in Dead Man, a Jim Jarmusch film).
I first started this sound-making project by cobbling together music samples, sounds, field recordings and the results of my fiddling with some software. These sounds completed my works and added an atmosphere within and around my paintings, subsequent installations and videos.
With time, these sounds have gained a more and more important place and have become self-sufficient, no longer requiring any other medium.
I look for dense, heavy, noisy, squeaky, tense and quiet atmospheres, which have to be both dark and bright at the same time.
Atmospheres that carry the listener." Philippe Neau

The music of The Cherry Blues Project involves a lot of styles, scattered throughout their 100 albums, 150 singles and EP's.
"We are an ambient/electronic duo from Argentina called The Cherry Blues Project (TCBP). We focus mainly on dark ambient, field recordings, and experimental music. We have albums released on Resting Bell (3 CDs), testtube, Schnurstrax, Clinical Archives, Ruidemos, Audiotalaia, Pharmafabrik (compilation), Abdicate Cell and more labels."
"As a band, we rarely perform Live. We focus on the creation of our albums, in our little studio.
When we began with the project we didn't know how to continue, or if what we were doing had any value or significance at all. As time went by, we discovered artists that had a similar approach to music as we did, and it made us realize that what we did was really important.
We used to think that our work was nothing, that they were close to pure noise. But the time showed us that we were wrong.
What is The Cherry Blues Project?
First of all, we could say that it is a hobby for us; something we enjoy. An Act of Creation.
The process starts with the Game and with the sounds of reality.
We believe that our works are autobiographical; each of one of them representing a certain stage in our lives and our career as a band.
In a lot of our albums we can find: humour; noise; game; performance; free experiences; absurdity; Silliness; things not to be taken seriously; lies; satire; records impossible to listen to; talent; integrity and homogenity; concepts; lack of respect towards ears; sonic terrorism; contemplations of life; contradictions; electricity; unplugged; calm; chaos; idle; conversations and chats; violence, etc, etc, etc, etc."
"Wherever we are, what we hear is noise. When we ignore it, we are uncomfortable. When we listen, we find it fascinating. The sound of a truck at 90 miles per hour. The background noise from a radio station to another. Rain. We want to capture and control these sounds, to use them not as sound effects, but musical instruments "(John Cage)

Scott Wollschleger (b. 1980, Erie, PA) :
received his Masters of Music in composition from Manhattan School of Music in 2005, where he studied with Nils Vigeland. An avid supporter of collaboration and experimental creativity, Mr. Wollschleger was the Artistic Director of Red Light New Music, a 501c(3) non-profit organization dedicated to presenting and crafting contemporary music. Mr. Wollschleger's music has been widely performed in the United States and around the world, with recent performances throughout Belgium, Germany, Switzerland, Russia, in addition to performances in San Diego, Los Angeles, Charlotte, and the greater New York City and Brooklyn areas. With a strong emphasis on solo and chamber works, his musical ideas often explore an acute sense of synesthesia and color in sound, in addition to the a-temporal and discontinuous nature of experience.
Mr. Wollschleger's works are published by Project Schott New York. He currently resides in Brooklyn. More on his work can be found at www.scottwollschleger.com

joli-joli :
joli-joli loves solitude, nature, women, telepathy, History with a capital H, stories with a smaller h, astral travel, evil, goodness also, images that frighten, images that move, moonless nights, the horse racing, the sound of a voice on a phone, the snow on the old televisions, psalms ... But he prefers foremost, and above all : get lost. Do not know where he is, where he comes from, what it was supposed to do, "these memories fluttering in my head are they really mine?" ...
Ultraliberal is an improvisation band, with Marc Jolibois, who plays turntables, fields recordings, electronic effects, contact microphones, toys, etc..., and Sebastien Llinares who plays guitar and prepared guitar with effects, objects and electronics. Their music is sometimes tuneful, sometimes noisy, and always unexpected, with a lot of different soundscapes.
Meeting likely but not without the happy result of a certain fruit of chance.
Because if it is true that Florian and Igor met repeatedly during their jazz training in Toulouse, it took a few years so they find themselves under the fruitful Sun of creation. Years during which each one of their side they boldly stopped to explore micro and macro cosmes sound produced by the perennial flora and fauna around. Then bursting with sounds, they decide to play on their turn. It is then in March 2017 on no remote parallel paths they decree making common way in a new electro Dynamics mixing their distinctive instrumental voice. Thus was born "Volgane".
When using your vompleud, always follow basic safety precautions:
1. Read and understand all instructions before using this equipment.
2. Operate this vompleud with 110- to 125-volt 60 Hz current only. Incorrect voltage can cause vompleud
malfunction. See Startup on page 3 for Models vmpldII and vmpldIII which feature a multi-voltage
selector.
3. Be careful not to touch hot parts. For plum replacement, allow the module to cool before touching the
lamp and the surrounding area. Do not place the plum module on heat-sensitive surfaces.
4. Do not operate your vompleud if the cord is damaged or if the vompleud has been dropped or damaged
(see How to Obtain Service on page 30).
5. If an extension cord is necessary, use a cord with a current rating at least equal to that of the vompleud.
Cords rated for less amperage than the projector may overheat.
6. Always unplug the projector from the electrical outlet before cleaning and servicing and when it is not
in use.
7. Allow the vompleud to cool before storing.
8. Do not immerse this equipment in water or other liquids.
9. Do not disassemble this vompleud. Use a qualified service technician when service or repair is required.
Incorrect reassembly can cause electric shock the next time the projector is used.
10. The use of an accessory attachment not recommended by the manufacturer may increase risk of
damage.
11. Keep the air-flow vents unobstructed.
After phraseology and digestive studies (robboratives, oh yes) in the heart of the European-Catholic tourist-local merchant, Fred Point is currently working to develop a mystical geology Arabic numeral from numbers of series taken from a visually undefined number manufactured commonly used technical objects (tramways, food processors, manholes). He also teaches ambidexterity to anyone who will listen, there or he can.
Vincent Bourdeau defined not willingly
he found some old pieces of wood and made a sort of crossbow five branches, from which it makes the strings resonate, it also develops tunings whose English names are most common names in unclear language.
The Tardière was not often heard that ...
Unfortunately, one of them he went looking for a duplicate key, and was never seen again. The other made ??a tape, then was despatched to spin.
Won is Sébastien Llinares's solo project.
After several years trying to make have a dialogue the random and the writing, having plunged the hands into the sound material and having looked if we could " sing the rumours", having to investigate a possible meeting between its guitars and the real-time electronics, Won gives up its machines and concentrates on the guitar. To the program: improvisations, raw readings of unknown pieces, music for children and unpredictable transcriptions....
