Vertical Jamming by Phew, released 14 May 2020

1. Cheers
2. Encore
3. Drone

A scene-setter for a forthcoming LP of unheard material, Vertigo KO, coming soon on Disciples. Vertical Jamming rescues two expansive longform pieces from a tour only CD released in 2016, and adds a previously unreleased track, “Drone”.

Explaining the background to the music, Phew comments: “Drone was recorded in 2014. It is a track that expresses the mood of those days, guided by the sound of a very simple oscillator. At the time of the catastrophe in Japan in 2011 and the Fukushima nuclear accident, and the change of government in 2013, I didn't feel like singing at that time, and instead started making music using a very simple oscillator. Cheers and Encore recorded alongside the album New World using two more complex synthesizers. The content is a sequel to Drone, a sketch of the mental landscape from 2014 to 2015.”

Hendrik Hegray, an authority in the field of filling time and space horror vacui style. He is a zine making terrorist that stayed sick longer then the corona sleng teng, and a pencil eraser that draws more attention to the angel holding a hand above his head then the bill he has to pay at any local pub in Europe.
Hendrik was going to open this years season at De Nor, though that might be moved to the grand re-opening in 2034.
Meanwhile, enjoy his mix!

Originally released by Zimbo tapes in 1982

''Fascinatingly obtuse 1982 home-recorded rarity of zoner church organ and metronome esoterica from the Netherlands. It’s hard to guess who these opaque instrumental vignettes were intended for, since they exist somewhere beyond any known contemporaneous trends of experimental tape music, damaged new age, and braindead minimal wave: lonely, fractured, numb, twee, unfinished, and nonsensical...''

MCBN - Self-Fulfilling Prophecy by Social Harmony, released 05 May 2020

1. SIDE A
2. SIDE B

What is madness?
The forgotten way.
And revolt, why do men revolt?
To find beauty either in life or in death.
And what for each of us is inevitable?
Happiness.
And what is the greatest wonder?
Each day death strikes and we live as though we were immortal. This is the greatest wonder.

(The Mahabharat)

The legendary experimental pop outfit returns with a brand-new record entitled Figures, written, conceived and produced over the last couple of years by Marc Hollander (founder of Aksak Maboul and of the Crammed label) and Véronique Vincent (former singer with The Honeymoon Killers).

Figures is a double album containing 22 tracks and interludes, resulting from the flow of creative ideas which arose after a gap of over thirty years (see the Aksak story overleaf). Drawing again from the multiple sources which have always inspired the band (from electronic music and pop to experimentation, jazz, minimalism, contemporary classical etc), Aksak Maboul transcends and reconfigures them with its inimitable style, to create an impressive, rich and unclassifiable piece of work.

Seamlessly weaving electronic and acoustic instrumentation, improvisation and programming, songs, beats, found objects and sound collages, the album works as a labyrinth, full of secret passages and interconnections. Figures clocks in at 75 minutes, thus deliberately shunning the laws of instant gratification and the myth of today’s reduced attention span: the Aksak Maboul aficionados will surely be happy to engage in an immersive session of deep listening (in two halves), in order to enjoy the album’s many layers and details.

Véronique Vincent & Marc Hollander wrote the album together, by following parallel courses with their own respective internal logic, while remaining closely connected. Enigmatic and finely chiseled, feeding on her love for painting and literature, Véronique’s texts form a dense fabric which mirrors the sonic kaleidoscope assembled by Marc, who wrote and arranged all the music (aside from a track co-written and sung by Véronique and Julien Gasc). Véronique also made the drawings and paintings which illustrate the cover and inserts.

The two protagonists recorded most of the album in their own studio, with contributions by the young members of Aksak Maboul’s current live line-up: Faustine Hollander (bass, vocals, co-production), guitarist Lucien Fraipont and drummer Erik Heestermans. Also featured are performances by several friends and guests, including revered improvisor Fred Frith, Tuxedomoon’s Steven Brown, members of Aquaserge (Julien Gasc, Audrey Ginestet & Benjamin Glibert), former band members (including Michel Berckmans and Sebastiaan Van den Branden), and several others

Musique faite à partir un enregistrement intracellulaire d'un neurone du cortex. L'activité du neurone est intense au début, à un moment, une dose d'anesthésiant est administrée de manière à ralentir, saccader puis abolir l'activité cérébrale (période de silence) pour enfin après dissipation des anesthésiants, rétablir l'activité normale du neurone.
Cette musique est faite à partir de l'enregistrement d'UN SEUL neurone qui fait partie d'un set de donnée faisant actuellement l'ojet d'une publication.
