Loscil “Windless”
From the netlabel release Stases
Revealing the somber underpinnings of his Loscil recordings, Scott Morgan has given us Stases - a collection of drones based upon the backgrounds of his work for Kranky Records, from 2001 to now.
As with his previous output, Stases follows theme and concept with further reference and meaning given through the title’s definition: “…a condition of balance among various forces; motionlessness”. Textured, aqueous, warm and pleasingly rich in (often bright) tonality giving us a deeper focus and alternate view into the corners of Morgan’s music. Seemingly so surrounding, submersive, and natural - that it becomes easy to forget the complex overtones and flowing mixtures involved in the creation of them.

Humberto Luis Schenone “Patagonia”
From the netlabel Clinical Archives release, Soltar … Saltar
A CD created as pictures of historical moments, readings, trips, and neighbours’ bad customs that should be legally punished. All tracks composed, played & recorded by Humberto Luis Schenone; recorded at ‘Living Records Studios’ Buenos Aires, Argentina
Humberto Luis Schenone was born in the British Hospital of Buenos Aires, September 1955. Since his childhood had some school trouble for his pleasure of beating over anything making “candombe-batucada”. But first steps in music were in his teens singing and playing guitar in folk and rock groups. Dedicated to other kind of professional activities after university years and to study Spanish guitar with jazz & tango player Claudio Gomez.
But it was many years later, in 1990, when he assumed his role as percussionist in music, after different periods travelling and living in Brazil. He settled in a house 30 kms away from Buenos Aires where he built his first “percussion-room” and started his studies of afro-american rhythms. His teachers in the art of percussion were Bam Bam Miranda, Abdoulaye Badiane, Ricky Olarte, Pocho Porteño, Hugo Nuñez among others. He has been part of several bands related with afro-percussion, bossa nova, samba, salsa, rock, south-american folk, tango, etc.
Nowadays, again living in B.A., works on his solo project collections: “Human Tracks”, “The Rhythms of Life I & II”, “Human Fights”, etc. and participates as guest musician in different groups. —Clinical Archives

Herzog “Congratulations, Here’s Your Mountain”
From the netlabel Resting Bell EP, First Summer and the Running Dream
Herzog a.k.a. Bill Bawden and his latest EP “First Summer and the Running Dream.” Bill’s previous releases on Serein were the first netaudio-works I got in touch with. You also might know him from his fantastic release on 12rec. “First Summer and the Running Dream,” on Resting Bell, contains 5 tracks with a complete duration of 30 minutes.
Compared to his earlier works, “First Summer…“ has a more droning, a bit distorted character. The sounds are layered very softly and sublime to a very harmonic composition. The overall mood is quite laid-back with noisy, distorted splinters. The noisy elements are getting stronger to the end of the EP but it leaves still a very harmonic picture. —Resting Bell
A perfect electroacoustic soundtrack for the season.

The Manipulated Living “Chasing Rabbits”
From the netlabel Nocharizma release, Prelude to Oblivion
“What we really want to do is to entice your senses. We want to challenge your idea of what music is. We want to break boundaries and create soundscapes. We want to leave you with an odd sense of wanting more. We want you to feel overwhelmed. And we want to do all this with 5 instruments…” Pure post-rock bliss.
