The fervent listener of the weekly NTNS radioshow knows. I have a soft spot for field recordings. It just cannot be too pure to please my listeners ears. I find that it sooths and calms and takes me to a different place; one that allows the imagination to kick in and take a short holiday.

JNN096 Jazznoize - Sediments
JNN release page
SonicSquirrel online player
From Spain, this multi experimentalist dares walk on the dark side of sounds as one would go shopping at the supermarket. His varried pallet of sounds has matured much since the establishement of Jazznoize in 2005. Sergio Sánches Nicolás uses field recordings transforming them a lot or at all, technicians of loop, audible errors, or the slow sounds like pure example of transformation of the means. If you’ve never heard the eerie sounds of this Spanish meister then let this opportunity not pass you by and join in this special treat for the ears.

JNN097 Thanato Twist with Oleg's Sound System - Swing Mastication
JNN release page
SonicSquirrel online player
If the world of lo-fi IDM could find more oompf, this would be the place. A wealth of toys has been intergrated into these 10 tracks that will make your mind swirl and your body ache for more. Ofcourse it may just as well be possible that you’re not into such degraded toynoises. If that is the case, you certainly got lost and trapped in a world you needn’t be in.
Most likely you will thoroughly enjoy this recording of two giants in the world of experimental improv’ed music: Ayato and Kortane Cortex.
A review of their first album on Treetrunk records reveils this:
“Psychedelic blasts, vast explosions of noises, unbeat in the repetitions, celestial harmony torn. Plasma waves building the spatial scene of Bailarin noche. Slobbery beats and sweating melodies turn around our solar system. There’s no doubt ! The brain of the Thanato’s is lost in a somber meditation. Black hole. White noise. Ready to thrill on the drift ?”
This may as well have been the review of this current release; it is just breathtaking!
Recorded live & cut @ la ferme lá 07/05/2010 – Olivet, France

JNN098 Apocalyptic Frequency Experience - Musings on human metamorphoses
JNN release page
SonicSquirrel online player
And in the darkness lives the mysterious. Or in other words what happens when an experimental artist from Mexico (Roberto Telles Garcia) gets head to head with a French mistress of the experimental soundage (Murielle Gallon) and complete the quartet of brotherhoods with Kalavazombie on synth and programers and Simio Autodidacta for pics and art.
Their assignment: Express in sound the musings on human metamorphoses.
For certain they have reached their degree in deep dark experimentations and surprising sounds dithered with hidden messages.
It is dark, it is brooding, it is Apocalyptic!

FMC06 usr/sbin - All on a night in June

Reaching the halfway point of this full moon concert series one may wonder; can it go deeper, can it go better.
The answer is given by the artist himself in this sixth edition. A near full hour of a single track improv that rocks the boat.
Droney ambient culled with the fingerprint guitar sounds and solos of the master himself. Let not these words keep you from downloading this album on the spot. You will not regret it.
