new by Eric Holm. not as good as Andoya, but still interesting.


Subtext presents Barotrauma by Eric Holm. The source material for Barotrauma was recorded in the
Nordic fjords south of Oslo, an adjunct to Eric Holm’s training at the Norwegian School of Commercial diving (Norsk Yrkesdykkerskole). While he was training world oil prices collapsed, so left with an uncertain future Holm decided to record and film his dives, capturing the lonely calm of his isolation in the dark water.

wow. young girl Caterina Barbieri.

Vertical is Caterina Barbieri's debut album and it was composed for vocals and Buchla 200 modular synthesizer.
Vertical takes a meditative approach to primary waveforms and the polyrhythm of harmonics, stretching the boundaries between drone, minimalism and techno in multichannel systems. This minimalistic focus arises from the polyrhythmic and stratigraphic potential of voltage-controlled sequencers.

Wha?! I didn't know Eric Holm had a new album out!
Fucking Andøya was just... wow. I didn't give it enough love at first because I was high on Ben Frost's A U R O R A and for some reason I got it into my head that Andøya might be to 2015 what that album was to 2014.

Still, lovely and visionary album.... I need to get my hands on this new joint fast.

Yeah, I quite like it. It's been a while since I've listened to it but hearing the new tracks got me in the mood to pull it out. I would recommend it if you like Emptyset. But then there's a new album coming out tomorrow, so that's what I'd focus on if I were you.

I remember it was, oddly, the artwork that drew me to Demiurge in the first place. I don't have any clue what the critical consensus is on Emptyset... never read about them anywhere other than their product descriptions on Boomkat. I don't know if I've ever spoken to a fellow fan before. Hah.

Btw: if you're generally into this kind of weird shit (Emptyset, Eric Holm, whatever) go to Boomkat if you don't already. Such a great site. Good prices too. They feature almost exclusively fucking amazing music. Not a critic site... just a store, and a Fucking incredible one.

yeah, I do not know much about Emptyset either, except that they are Bristol based guys involved in lot of interesting projects /some cool projects tho http://emptyset.org.uk/projects and Bristol scene within. as I said I was blown away by their Order track first time I heard it. checked few snippets from Demigure last night /yeah, cool artwork, I can understand that checking out because of artwork thingy/ and it felt pretty similar soundwise. I will check out new one as well. uhmmm, would be interesting seeing them live.

cheers for Bookmat link. I know it. what is pissing me off lately is that shipping cost I have to pay on the top of it. too much money. I mean physical is getting more expensive these days. I love physical espec. vinyl. I actually stopped buying CDs unless it is CD only release, so I am fucked. I am concentrating now on finding a cool record stores in 200 km radius and buy few records in one place with no shipping cost instead of buying them from the internet (I found really good one in Vienna, which is close to my place where I got back after long time and it is brilliant, it has lots of labels I like, all the new stuff, all the elctronica, rock, experimental, obscure, spoken word, everything. but those vinyls are getting more and more expensive. that is why I like to browse through one euro boxes as well and finding some old gems. I will have to explore Vienna more, there must be more interesting record stores around. oh, by the way owner of the shop I mentioned is running Trost label, maybe you heard of it /free jazz stuff - http://www.trost.at/label/artists// and gave me few of their releases for buying good few records. I dont know I am fine with exploring, consuming and percieving music via www. but once in a month or so I just have a day when I start to have cravings for going to record shop browse through records, smell some vinyl, get some vinyl, spend lots of money. like a junkie. seriously. its not good. then I am grand for a while. of fuck I went on my rant).anyway I should find some love with digital releases for fuck sake. but yeah digital...

Oh, you're not in the States... yes, I can see how shopping would be a bitch.

Honestly, the main thing I use Boomkat for is recommendations. I have an account with them and I've bought a shitload of physical music from them, so they have send email recommendations to me based on my past purchases. And because they tend to deal in weirder shit in general, I get a lot more out of their new music recommendations than I do from, say, Apple or Spotify. Both of those services are DESIGNED to bring new/previously unknown music to people, but all they ever suggest is music that, frankly, I'd have to be a moron not to already know.

It's not ALL bad, but usually it's like: "Because you like Sonic Youth, we recommend ... My Bloody Valentine and Jesus & Mary Chain and SWANS and Tortoise"
Or... Because you listen to alternative, check out The Flaming Lips, Melvins, and Wilco

Wow, someone pin a metal on this ^ guy! Whatever would I do without all of this invaluable input?

Boomkat is just a store, but they recommend new releases tha are actually new, and/or not painfully obvious. And I like that you can listen to albums on their website. Not snippets of songs, but full albums. That's cool.

And honestly, I love vinyl, but ever since the vinyl resurgence I've found the entire culture a little suffocating. Also, the industry has taken full advantage of the appetite for vinyl, and prices have gone up a lot. So these days I only buy vinyl if it's a hugely anticipated release, or a special edition of something that I know I will want the ultimate physical document of.

I buy an insane amount of music, but ever since moving to a rural area I've started to rely on digital releases more and more. The closest actual record store is an hour and a half away, and I don't have much patience for sitting around and waiting for things to come in the mail. So digital release are pretty much my default now. They're unexciting and uninspiring, but when new music comes out, I want it, like, yesterday. So I'm resigned to this for the time being. I guess.

Embarrassing and not cool? Fuck that shit. Nothing is embarrassing! Well, that's entirely untrue but this stuff certainly isn't.

It's all for fun, dude.

Going through this rather annoying book and listening to stuff I've never heard before and stuff I haven't heard in a while.

Of the letter "A," I think Autoclave is my fav.

I'll keep everyone updated.
