5 January, 2009Crazy Language compilation #3

Filed under: Releases — Tags: 1001mvts, atmogat, atonalis, az-rotator, burdeos, compilation, crazy language, dino felipe, dnn, ebola, electronica, ENV(itre), FMcontrol, huron, idm, Mightymovements, netlabel, orbique, pleq, quadramoray, ralp, randomform, rec_overflow, sincere trade, sintetic collage, the last gambit, victer manderline, zephyr nova

The Berlin-based netlabel Crazy Language released their third compilation, for the occasion an unreleased version of Mightymovements, a track from the album La fille verte is joined to the crazy trip !

« Complex and sometimes crazy !
It is always difficult to grab peoples attention for electronic music released in the world wide web and it might not be helpful to publish a compilation of electronic music between Christmas and New Year’s Eve.
Anyway, the language of music is complex and sometimes crazy in a positive way and Crazy Language presents a really great finish after plentypublications in 2008.
The compilation features 23 artists from across the world. This includes a global survey of the very active electronic music scene and it shows how multifaceted music from IDM to Electronica and Abstract Noise could sound. The Crazy Compilation #3 is definitely not engaged to provide 2-hour-changeless music. In fact it is like a demonstration that each kind of music regardless of abstraction has its value set to be heard. »

3 January, 2009Album «La fille verte» now on Open Music

Filed under: Releases — Tags: Dennis Highberger, free download, free music, Goblin Glasses, john cohen, La fille verte, leo piggot, Lorn, netlab, netlabel, open music, piratio, Polaroid Android, professor ojo, steveD, the last sound, thisisopenmusic

I’am pleased to announce that my album La fille verte is now distribute by the Brighton based Netlabel Open. Launched in September 2008, Open is an open source music label run by musicians.

« Syl Kougaï is a very patient man. I have had this release in my pocket for about a year, while the beginnings of Open Music was emerging. Delays and mis-speaking meant that La Fille Verte remained unreleased, for no good reason and that was just fine with him. He must be a patient man to piece together an album like what we have here. This release is like one of those patchwork quilts your Nan would have kept in the back of a cupboard; cut together from random little pieces, it looks a little ugly in parts. You recognise little squares here and there but over all it’s a bit of a mess. Then you wrap it over you and it feels amazing. La Voix de L’Empereur, the second track is a series of concentric circles. Right in the middle is the super funky (yes, that’s right… funky) guitar lick, wrapped in a super compressed dubby bass, wrapped in some vacant folk vocalisations, further wrapped in some white wash machine noise warmth. R.Daneel is reminiscent of the Rephlex acid releases, but with a more frenetic and softly aggressive approach. In other words, much much better. And this is how it continues throughout the whole release – Little pieces of sounds you love and recognise from somewhere, shouldered out of the way by sounds you’ve never heard and it all feels right. »

7 December, 2006New Ep out now : «Green live tracks»

Filed under: Releases — Tags: Amon Tobin, Aphex Twin, autechre, bleeding arts, Chris Clark, Clark, electronica, freeform, fsol, future sound of london, green live tracks, idm, La fille verte, Live, lords of war, montpellier, planete mu, Prince of Persia, quartiers libres, rephlex, schematic, selected Ambient Works, skam, Squarepusher, warp

I am currently finalizing my first album ‘La fille verte’ that will be released soon.
To lead you up to this event, I am offering my ‘Green live tracks’ Ep as a free download. Three tracks that I rencently played during my performance at the large pluridisciplinary festival of my hometown: Montpellier quARTiers libres.
The tracks are encoded in very high quality Mp3s (320Kbps),
I hope you will enjoy !

« Ce Green Live Tracks est un EP Live enregistré aux Quartiers Libres de Montpellier en 2006 : trois titres, trois claques, on en redemande. Le blog de l’artiste annonce la sortie de l’album La fille verte par le biais de ce mini évènement, on se lèche les babines. On plonge directement dans l’ambiance du concert grâce à un public actif, qui fait « Waouh », qui siffle, qui s’exclame et qui lui aussi en redemande. De grosses distorsions annoncent La voix de l’empereur, qui a tout pour plaire : des basses sourdes, une mélodie entêtante et des éléments synthétiques qui se mêlent à des sonorités orientales. On croit entendre une guitare, des hurlements de loups : la variété des sons surprend elle aussi. Il y a là quelque chose d’Amon Tobin dans ce premier titre magistral, on pense également à Prince of Persia, à quelques BO de Films (celle de Lord Of War entre autres)… »
