V.A. -"Ghost Story: A Musical Collection of Stories from Beyond the Grave" is out on SHADOW TEARS (Brazil)!



"... the first compilation from the Shadow Tears netlabel. The result was very rewarding and you can check out the work of artists with several different influences within the theme and musical styles proposed by this netlabel that has been featured on Bandcamp. A Ghost Story is any piece of fiction that presents or takes as its premise the possibility of ghosts or the belief in them. It can refer to any type of scary story, being supernatural and strange fiction and often a horror story that although intended to scare has other purposes, from comedy to morality tales. Belief in ghosts is found in all cultures around the world. In this special collection, we tell ghost stories through beautiful pieces of music. Enjoy the shadows!"

Lezet - "Fabrika" is out on MURMURE INTEMPOREL (France)!!!!



I felt a strong urge to once again react musically to the incessant noise produced by the factory across my street - I have already done it on the "Misadventures" album.But instead of organising actual factory sounds into tracks, this time I chose to react to them by improvising on piano, organ, synths and wooden flute as they unfold.

Recorded in September & October 2023, Pozega, Serbia.

Øüð - "Numbers" is out on TEMPLO SAGITAL (Chile)!!!!!

This album is inspired by the magic of number stations. It were the wonderful aural qualities of these transmissions and not their encription that always fascinated me
(think of Chroma Key's "Dead Air for Radios")
all the number stations recordings: escapefromnoise (marked as Public Domain, internetarchivedotorg)
synths and sounds by Igor
recorded: February 2023 in Pozega, Serbia

Lezet -"Tar 2" is out on HAMFUGGI RECORDS (Spain)!!!!!



One more venture of a non-guitarist into exploring the sounds of an acoustic guitar. This time an acoustic guitar with a partially broken (glued) neck proved to be a wonderful inspiration.

En argentina decimos: "tocar la guitarra" cuya traducción en inglés sería "play the guitar". Pero la traducción literal de "tocar" es "touch". Y Lezet hace eso: toca la guitarra, genera sonidos donde no debiera haberlos, mezcla técnicas imposibles de tocar un instrumento... Y damos gracias a ello! Seguir hablando sería (si ya no lo hice) como contar el final de una película... Disfruten (o no) de este disco de Lezet llamado Tar 2.

In Argentina we say: "tocar la guitarra" whose translation in English would be "play the guitar". But the literal translation of "tocar" is "touch". And Lezet does that: he touch the guitar, generates sounds where there shouldn't be any, mixes techniques that are impossible to play an instrument... And we are grateful for that! Continuing to talk would be (if I didn't already) like telling the end of a movie... Enjoy (or not) this Lezet album called Tar 2.

V.A.-"Ancient Astronauts- The ancient music of Greece: a reappReciation" is out on 1TRACKTAPE (Greece)!!!



In 2015 the German netlabel suRRism-Phonoethics released the compilation "The Music of Ancient gReece: an appReciation".
Eight years later, as a part of "that sounds greek to me" series, 1tracktape reappReciates the same tracks in the same order, with the same copyright license. All tracks reworked by 1tracktape team including (The) Unknown Artist, DEE (aka Downer Edited Ending), melophobia (μελωφοβία) and more unknown artists!. 80min to burn a compact disk for the audio system in your car! Plus 3 more reworks as download - bonus tracks.

“”The music of ancient Greece was almost universally present in society, from marriages and funerals to religious ceremonies, theatre, folk music and the ballad-like reciting of epic poetry. It thus played an integral role in the lives of ancient Greeks. There are significant fragments of actual Greek musical notation as well as many literary references to ancient Greek music, such that some things can be known—or reasonably surmised—about what the music sounded like, the general role of music in society, the economics of music, the importance of a professional caste of musicians, etc"
(Wikipedia, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Music_of_ancient_Greece).
The tracks on this compilation are either covers of the remaining fragments of Ancient Greek music, or a reflection of the participating artists on the cultural legacy of Ancient Greece and an attempt to find the music of Ancient Greece in their own compositional approaches."

First compilation of "appReciation", curated by Igor Jovanovic (2015).
Second compilation of "reappReciation", curated / produced by Dimitris Tsironis (2021).
