Finally, the conclusion of the Hypernatural electroacoustic trilogy...

Six years after the release of "Hypernatural #2", Yoshio Machida is rounding up his magnificent trilogy of electroacoustic collages with "Hypernatural #3". A unique and highly personal work, the Hypernatural series has made of Machida a world-class sound artist. Assemblages of field recordings and treated instrumental sounds, the music on "Hypernatural #3" evokes simultaneously the universal and the intimate, Mankind and Nature.

Yoshio Machida has been working on this series since 1997. The first volume was self-released in 1999 and had for theme memory in Eastern Asia ; Volume 2, released by Softl Music in 2001, focused on transparency, unconsciousness and invisible existence. "Hypernatural #3", the last instalment in this triptych, is about oblivion. Machida explains: "Oblivion is characteristic of the correlation between matter and time. Oblivion has a positive aspect: it appears as a natural phenomenon in the passage of time and becomes a factor in creating new worlds. Nature consists of a myriad of different memory-oblivion cycles".

Far-away sounds, close to the heart...

Delicately-played instruments whose sounds, once sampled and digitally treated, seem to permeate our ears from a distant world both strange and strangely familiar. And yet, the resulting music is intimate as can be, full of untold and evocative imagery.

GoGooo is Gabriel Hernandez, born in 1979 in Grenoble, France. Gabriel started making music because he wanted to accompany his guitar-playing cousin. Untrained, he turned to the computer, and thus came to life their duo Simagrée. Other collaborations ensued with Alain Basso (Sol III) and Daisuke Miyatani (Miyagooo).

"Long, lointain" [Long, far] is GoGooo's first professional full-length release, following a number of net releases, CDR EPs and compilation appearances. 2007 is a coming-out year for GoGooo, with additional releases on labels such as (1.8)sec Records (Canada), Magic Book (Japan), EKO (France) and his own netlabel Rain Music.

"Long, lointain" features 10 short pieces exerting a fleeting charm, populated with field recordings, found sounds and skeletons of melodies, all delicately arranged to titillate and soothe your ears. This music can be compared to electroacoustic folk for its instrumentation, but is actually unique in style.

Gabriel Hernandez is also a drawing artist, photographer and video artist, and most of these other facets of his art are represented in "Long, lointain"s packaging, including drawings decorating the digipack cover and four short videos.

_________________

Italians Maurizio Bianchi and Emanuela De Angelis have a generation between them, but that does not prevent them from delivering their first collaboration entitled "Regolelettroniche". However, to get there, they had to agree on a few rules, alluded to in titles such as "Earthly Principle" and "Cosmic Norms", and through these "rulelectronics" credited to both of them. That being said, these rules are left unexplained; listeners can discover them on their own when they experience this drone-based music: soft, quiet, seemingly reiterative yet clearly transformative.

Fuck Work is a combination of several avant-garde music aesthetics, including electronica, post-rock, turntablism, and electroacoustic improv. Fuck Work is ENT's debut full-length.

"Approntate negli studi casalinghi di Michele Scariot ed Emanuele Bortolozzi le cinque tracce del loro album ufficiale di debutto, sotto il moniker Ent, per la Baskaru, giovane etichetta transalpina che ha da poco pubblicato anche l'ottimo lavoro dei nostri Pirandelo ed un meritevole tributo all'opera di Rafael Toral. Sono ben distillate ed avvolgenti composizioni, nell'ipnotico amalgama d'elettronica, improvvisazione e progetto. Misurando influenze post-rock, garbato noise ed altrettanto accennate suggestioni turntablism o ambient, affinate nei live, decostruite e poi di nuovo assemblate nelle attuali versioni. Un 'fottuto' lavoro meritevole di grande attenzione che pone questi multi-strumentisti fra i più interessanti nel novero delle italiche scene sperimentali." [Neural.It - February 2006 - Aurelio Cianciotta]
