More than a collection jewel is the example that good music with analog synthesizers has not ceased to exist, the “movement study” is a magnificently complete album within the minimal synthwave genre. One of the jewels of the minimal synth underground scene Tony Williams returns with a musical reserve.
Four years after the release of the debut album, the French Tisiphone are back, this time, for an absolutely changeable adrenaline injection that will follow the short-duration format. The new EP, entitled KOMA FORTE, hits the shelves and consists of a total of six themes in an approximate duration of half an hour. From the new EP – which received additional details this week – the track “Atomic Tissue” had previously been released, which can be heard below with audiovisual work. KOMA FORTE follows the trio’s first career LP, TISIPHONE and presents a very eclectic sound without being attached to a single conception. From entertainment theater to widely sentimental sounds, the new EP by Tisiphone promises to make a stir in 2020. In addition to “Atomic Tissue”, the French have presented in live performances the theme “Heureux Je Suis” which will also integrate the alignment of the new work.
Celldöd, aka Anders Karlsson, has been releasing dirty electronic music since the late ’80s, both small-run cassette tapes inspired by the DIY ethos of his post-punk background, and pristine vinyl editions. Karlsson’s music is uncompromising and edgy, with roots in both early electronic and ’70s industrial music from Britain, as well as US techno and Kraut-inspired German electronics.

Tetrapharmakon is the epicurean remedy for the pains and anguish of existence. Often confused with hedonism, epicureanism certainly also seeks to put an end to pain, but by taking a reasoned, more balanced path: pleasure in itself (hedonism) is indeed not what is desirable. What is, on the other hand, is a particular state of happiness which is ataraxia, that is to say the absence of disorders, or “eudemonism”. Exaltation of sincerity, it takes precedence over quality more than quantity. For example, love-passion, as a deregulation of the senses and reason, is contrary to ataraxia. Sincere and sensual friendship, on the other hand, is seen as conducive to the happiness of the individual. This 4-title EP tries to describe these four remedies. The titles include (except for Остаје му само да броји) characters or philosophical concepts that come from the mythology and culture of ancient Greece. Cassette / Digital Album [free download]
Three years ago, in December 2016 we released an album containing the entire recorded output by Der Blaue Reiter, the Italian cold wave pioneers. The songs had been written between 1980 and 1981 and recorded in 1983 but all were shelved and unreleased back then, so it was a real honour for us to make them public for the first time ever. Stefano Tirone, the widely experienced musician, producer and mastermind behind Der Blaue Reiter always had the idea of bringing those great old songs up to date in a more electronic approach. Hence, in 2017 he decided to start re-recording the tracks using his vintage, exceptionally well-kept synthesizers and drum machines. The only non-electronic instrument here is an old F.H. Kühling vertical piano. For the vocals, Stefano used the original 1983 recording which together with the classic sound of all the instruments have preserved the minimalistic, primary feel of these cold wave anthems. So, are they modern? YES! Are they classic? YES! They sound just the way we love early electronics to sound and with an astounding technical quality! |
