Two new tracks have just gone live at Dystimbria, the new netlabel devoted to a continually evolving community discussion in sound of the grey areas between noise and ambient.
-
The two new tracks are really heavy and incredibly good. These are some of my favorite entries yet! Don’t miss them.
-
Dystimbria #8 – Mutant Beatnik’s “Rainbow Vomitorium” is a constantly evolving composition of entrancing and exciting textures and noises. Incredible. This will take the top of your head clean off.
-
Dystimbria #9 – Post-Avantist’s “Vasiform Rima” is a slow-burning, slow-churning piece of quasi-doom-metal DROOOOOOOONNNNNNEEE. Grrrruuuuhhhh!!!!

News to some, and a reminder to others:

I am curating an exhibition of sound art that will be open April 20-29 of 2012 at Art Lab in Fort Collins, Colorado.

There is a call for entries, if you’re into sound art at all, please run to the website – http://soundthroughbarriers.com – and either read the call for entries on the site, or download a PDF of it.

The new EP from Germany’s the Euphoric Hum is an exciting mix of prickly electronic noises and powerful bass rumbles. Check out this new work that was created specifically for Vuzh Music by special invitation.

The big project I’ve been working on for the last several months, and will be working on until Spring is a sound art exhibition, which I’m curating as a student project in Museum Studies at Front Range Community College.

I have just published a call for entries, which you can find at the brand new website I have set up for this project:

Please check it out, and read through the call for entries and consider entering some work for it!

You can also follow my new twitter persona LiminalListener to keep up with news on the project.

Terry Burke was my first contact in the hometaper underground, and therefore his first self-titled tape from his project Histatic Charge was the first tape I ever heard from this previously unknown music world. It was recorded in 1989

Here be jaunty little synth ditties with off-time rhythms and odd sensibilities.

I have re-organized Vuzh Music to reflect the two sides of its release lineup, new music from myself and comrades across the netlabel experimental music underground, and rereleases of some of my favorite tapes from the cassette underground. This latter category will now be released in the subsection called Vuzh Underground Editions (VUE). VUE has actually been around for quite a few years, but had been backburnered when Vuzh Music made the transition from CDr label to netlabel. You’ll find that the idea hasn’t been dormant, however. When you go to the link, you can see that there are four releases classified in the VUE category that have come out during 2011.
-
The front page of Vuzh Music now reflects this change, linking Vuzh Underground Editions under Sublabels (even if it is really just a subsection) – and adding a new same-page link to the list of releases “Free Downloads previously released on Cassette”.
-
I think this segregation will help discriminating listeners choose what releases suit their tastes best.
-
Let me know what you think.

The new release on Vuzh Music is “Piano Drones 1″ by Saffron Slumber.
-
For this release, composer Kevin Stephens creates sympathetic vibrations in piano strings to create buzzing, overtone-rich drones.

Piano Drones 1

There is a brand new track up at Dystimbria, the new netlabel begun less than a month ago…
-
The new track has been submitted by Dave Keifer under his Kid Feardive moniker. He also does music under the name Cagey House.
-
The new track adds to the continuum, using samples from the previous two pieces released on the label as source material, while adding new material into the mix. The new composition remains in flux throughout its length, presenting several scenarios that quiver and shudder under tension and then transition into something else, stretching into new shapes, new tensions.

Vuzh Music is announcing a brand new project, you could see it as a sub-label, or as a completely separate netlabel. It’s a bit of both.
-
I think it describes itself best, so I will refrain from writing a lot about it, aside from telling you that the name of this new website is Distimbria.cc (that’s ‘cc’ as in Creative Commons!) …
-
And there is brand new music there from C. Reider and from Mysterybear.

New release:
-
From 1995 this was my second musical venture, a collaboration with Histatic Charge (whose debut cassette will see re-release in the near future on Vuzh Music as well). There are also contributions from Auzel!
-
Quite a good tape of high oddness, now resurrected into digital lo-fi netlabel-ness for all to enjoy for free.
