S.H.A.D.O. Sounds

Heading into the Twelve Days of Namlook, I thought the segue from these shares to the 12 was obvious. Back in June when I was on a Various Artists jag, I shared some Ambient Dub volumes. Frenz of NSS Richie Muster inquired about one of the artists featured on three of the four volumes, the Higher Intelligence Agency & their futher output. 

 

Here are two volumes of Ambient Dub in collaboration with Pete Namlook. Pitched up vocals make the talking sound alien. Anything from the Fax label sounds like it was recorded on another planet anyway. Just enjoying everything about these album. Classic timeless releases.

lowercase Sounds

 

Steve Roden was a visual artist (painting, drawing, sculpture, film/video). His sound installations & art performances had led him into the world of music. He is one of the progenitors of "lowercase" music, active in music since the mid 80s. In the 90s he released music under the project name In Be Tween Noise.

Lowercase music is a hyper-minimalist genre of ambient experimental music that emphasizes extremely quiet, subtle sounds. Lowercase musicians manipulate & amplify field recordings of tiny, often overlooked noises to create ambient music that must be "discovered" to fully grasp the sense of quiet, humility, & beauty in their works. This music might imply one thing on the surface but contain other things beneath.

 

He has collaborated with Franscisco López, Jason Kahn, Machinefabriek, Brandon LaBelle, Stephen Vitiello,  Bernhard Günter, & many others. Here is one with LaBelle...

Roden's 2001 release Forms of Paper brought attention to the term "lowercase", which at the time united a wide variety of practitioners exploring silence & quiet, from lap top musicians to electroacoustic artists to free jazz. It was originally created for the "Art in the Libraries Exhibition", installation in the Frank Gehry designed Hollywood branch of the Los Angeles Public Library in August, 2001. The idea for the composition was the quiet space of the library as a major consideration. At the Library it was amplified at a very low volume level. All of the sounds in the composition are the sounds of book pages being handled.

Kompakt Sounds

I've shared some of the great music from Kompakt in the past. Every year since 2001, the Cologne Germany based Kompakt label has released another installment in its Pop Ambient series, curated by the label's co-founder Wolfgang Voigt.

This one (2009s offering) is a collection of 12 tracks arranged to keep you warm throughout the cold winter. The 2009 edition features a selection of artists: Klimek; Sylvain Chauveau; Jürgen Paape (another co-founder of Kompakt); Marsen Jules; Tim Hecker; The Fun Years; & Voigt's collaboration with Jörg Burger. Wolfgang shows up on the compilation once more, this time under his Mint moniker.

Emperor Sounds

 

Godspeed You! Black Emperor is an experimental nine-piece founded in Montreal, Quebec, Canada in 1994 that specializes in semi-avant-garde instrumental music of haunting beauty. GY!BE consists of Roger Tellier-Craig (guitar), Norsola Johnson (cello), Efrim Menuck (guitar), Mauro Pezzente (bass), David Bryant (guitar), Thierry Amar (bass), Sophie Trudeau (violin), Aidan Girt (percussion), & Bruce Cawdron (percussion).

Their music should probably be described as long, dark, moody ambient. They sound a bit like an organic Tangerine Dream. Rather than using synthesizers though, they use cello, violin, upright bass, & three guitars, often adding spoken word samples. They create modern protest music in longform instrumental chamber rock compositions of immense feeling & power serving as the soundtrack to late capitalist alienation & resistance.

GY!BE has issued only two official band photos in its 30+ year existence. They have issued only a half-dozen collectively-answered written interviews over that same span. The band has never had a website or social media accounts. It has never made a video. Few rock bands in our 21st century have been as steadfast in trying to let the work speak for itself while maintaining simple rules about minimising participation in cultures of personality, exposure, access, commodification or co-optation.

This one is a text-book showing of GY!BE's ambient drone. A true behemoth...

Scanner Sounds

 

Scanner is a musical project of Robin Rimbaud, an electronic musician & multimedia artist from London. In his early works, Rimbaud tuned into the airwaves to pluck out pieces of radio, mobile phone conversations, & police broadcasts. These were intricately edited, then folded back into his compositions, producing an experimental genre of his own. I guess his style could be characterized as ambient classical. He has collaborated with DJ Spooky, Alva Noto, Kim Cascone, & Vitiello among many others.

This album starts off with vocal samples, strums of guitar by guest musician Michael Gira, & Rimbaud's own gentle singing. Shreds of found voices, radar transmissions, & environmental recordings populate this musical piece. This is probably Scanner's most personal release to date.

Dream Sounds

Tangerine Dream formed in Berlin in 1967. The initial line up (on their first release Electronic Meditation) included Edgar Froese, Conrad Schnitzler (cello) & Klaus Schulze (drums). This release was a prime example of the Berlin School (free rock/krautrock). 

Both Schnitzler & Schulze would depart after this first album, For TD's econd album, long-standing member Christopher Franke replaced Schulze. By their third album they had added Peter Baumann. This core of Froese, Franke, & Baumann signed to Virgin Records in 1973. Their subsequent release Phaedra would define their style for years to come. Understated, droning keyboard, guitar melodies intertwined with ambient washes of reverberating electronic textures, utilizing synthesizers, & sequencers. 

After Baumann's departure in 1978, TD experimented with their tried & true formula on Cyclone with the addition of Steve Jolliffe, adding vocals & woodwinds with Klaus Krüger on drums.  Johannes Schmölling then joined for Tangram. 

 

This line-up remained stable until the mid-1980s, as the group shifted toward more rhythmic textures. Paul Haslinger replaced Schmölling in 1985. This is the line-up featured here, as Chris Franke left in 1987 over creative differences with Froese.

Although Canyon Dreams wasn't released on CD until 1991, it originally dates to 1987 as the band's first video-album. It is the brainchild of Chris Franke & Paul Haslinger. Canyon Dreams is basically the sequel to Underwater Sunlight, sharing the ambitious scale of that album with a more pared-back, restrained sound palette. It's a return to TD's ambient roots.

The track "Colorado Dawn" was added to the 1991 release by Jerome Froese & the 1999 reissue included a further track "Rocky Mountain Hawk". This album soundtracked a film of beautiful shots of the Grand Canyon.

Cold Sleep Sounds

 

Sleep Research Facility is a dark ambient project of Kevin Doherty, an artist from Glasgow, Scotland. SRF specialises in sleep-conducive beatless ambient music. The music usually contains no rhythmic elements, but instead relies on spacious, extended, richly-textured sounds.

This example of chilling (Ant)arctic ambient drone is in my opinion SRF's finest release. It just gets better with every listen as each time I notice new & different sound sensations.

Sinoia Caves was a ambient-synth project of Jeremy Schmidt from Vancouver, BC.

This is the original ethereal psychedelic motion picture soundtrack for the Panos Cosmatos film Beyond the Black Rainbow, with analog synthesizers very reminiscent of John Carpenter's themes or 70s/80s Tangerine Dream.

Biospheric Sounds

Geir Aule Jenssen from Tromsø (within the Arctic Circle), Norway is an electronic musician & composer who records as Biosphere. He is primarily known for ambient / ambient house pieces, inspired by the Arctic or the mountain settings where he lives. using sounds from nature as well as employing loops & peculiar samples from science fiction.

Jenssen was part of the Norwegian group Bel Canto before going solo. Microgravity is his first release under the name Biosphere. Ambient soundscapes are mixed with House rhythms & extensive sampling. Microgravity is considered a classic in ambient house. It was released in 1991 on the Norwegian label Origo Sound, then received wider release via the R&S Records subsidiary Apollo in 1992. This dates it before the ambient/techno boom in the same year both Orbital & The Orb put out their debut albums. This marks Jenssen as one of the godfathers of Norwegian (& beyond) electronic music.

Decambier & the Twelve Days of X-Ambias

I'm feeling the ambience of the world around me right now more strongly that usual, so I decided that all of December will be dedicated to Ambient Music.

Ambient music prioritizes creating a sonic environment or mood rather than following a traditional musical narrative. It often avoids the cyclical progression of chords found in other genres. Many ambient pieces rely on sustained notes, drones, or long-lasting soundscapes. Many ambient works use electronic instruments & effects to create layers of texture / atmosphere. The goal of ambient music is often to induce a sense of calm or to create a space for thought.

The term Ambient was first applied to music in 1978 by Brian Eno's AMBIENT 1 "Music for Airports".

Eno sez: 
       "Ambient Music must be able to accommodate many levels of listening attention without enforcing one in particular; it must be as ignorable as it is interesting."

I am going to try & devote this month to touching on the many diverse types of Ambient Music: ambient Dub, ambient techno, drone, ambient house (perhaps even ambient pop or metal), field recordings, environmental sounds, even glitch or noise, lowercase, minimal piano, new age, dark ambient, musique concrete, wherever this wandering insanity might take me.

One thing of note, many of these ambient compositions don't have typical song-oriented track breaks. Many times the composition continues unbroken across numerous (or even all) tracks. Wherever this occurs, I have eliminated track breaks & allowed the compositions to unfold in their intended manner. I have tried to note the lack of breaks or the run-on tracks when I could (or remembered). Less interested in the tracklist accuracy than with the musical integrity.

Bat Sounds

Let's start out this Ambient Decambier with a bit of the quietus of nature around us, as only Adrian Sherwood could imagine it.

This release was limited to 300 copies with glow in the dark, screen printed cover.

"First exhibited as a soundtrack to Jeremy Deller's 2017 installation Send Bat Echolocation Sounds to Dub Reggae Producers at BRÜCKENMUSIK 23. Located under the Deutzer Brücke in Cologne, the installation's cavernous aspect also nods to Deller's 2004 Turner Prize-winning work Memory Bucket, which captured a bat colony leaving their cave in Texas. The Mexican Freetail bats featured here on Sherwood's ambient Dub were recorded at that Frio Cave in West Texas in the autumn of 2011."

Musick that Needed Work - S: Stimmen der Stille

 

Stimmen der Stille (Voices of Silence) were a German dark Post-Punk band which has a nice early Goth sound. Morgenstern (Morning Star) is their only full length (a few demos, compilation tracks, & an EP complete their recorded output), so there is not much information about the band. A few of the tracks veer into experimental soundscapes before taking hold with killer hooks & powerful vocals. There sound is reminisenct of Xmal Deutschland. 

 

Stimmen der Stille is: Daniela Siemon - vocals; Thomas Stelkins - guitar; Pamela Alnoch - bass; & Martin Gasper - drums.

Musick the Needed Work - S: Sophisticated Boom Boom

 

Way back in the golden age of music, in the year 1982 there were two bands named after one of the best songs by one of the best bands of all time, namely "Sophisticated Boom Boom" by the Shangri-Las.

One of the two groups was a five-piece girl group from Glasgow championed by John Peel. This is not them.

If you google Sophisticated Boom Boom today, you'll find a lot about Dead or Alive's debut album or about the Glasgow band mentioned above, but little about this Swiss band. This was a group fronted by three girls, Esther, Marianne Sunier, & Monique Sieber. 

 

They were accompanied by Ernest "Nez" Maeschi, his younger brother Stefan Maeschi, & friend Pasquale Isernia. They wrote most of the music & provided the musical backing. 

 

Their self-titled album from 1982 was origianlly released on Off Course Records, the label run by Swiss new wave notables Grauzone & Stefan Eicher.

Sophisticated Boom Boom transported the Brill Building/Red Bird/Girl Group sound from the Sixties into the New Wave of 1982. These 14 original compositions don't lack in punk esprit. Their sound was probably too cheerful, too bubblegum, & too life-affirming for the gloomy early Eighties. That's probably why they fell gloriously out of sight in those jagged times & stopped after just one album. 

(Eshter & Marianne Sunier went on to form the C86/power pop girl group Chin-Chin)

Susan Cadogan is a Jamaican reggae / lovers rock singer who I have shared four times in the past: Hurts So Good 7“ (#1 UK reggae charts - #4 UK singles charts) & Hurts So Good bonus tracks as well as two Mad Prof joints: One Mad Professor showcase &  the Mad Professor produced Soulful Reggae during the Fems of Feb.  

Check out any of those if you're not familiar, or this double has plenty to offere right now.

The Girl who Cried CD1 was a 2016 project started in collaboration with Canadian producer Mitch Girio. Throughout the process, there was only telephone contact between Susan & Mitch. He made the backing tracks in Canada, Susan recorded the vocals in Jamaica, overdubbing was done in Germany, & the final mixing took place in Canada.

Chemistry of Love CD2 was a JA only release. It was issued in very limited quantities, on the Mint label. It was produced by veterans Bubbler Waul & Noel Hearne, backed by accomplished musicians such as Sly Dunbar, Danny Browne, Robby Lyn, Scully, along with various members of Chalice.

Musick that Needed Work - S: Salamanda

 

Salamanda is a Seoul, South Korea based Leftfield ambient electronic music duo of Uman Sala & Yetsuby Manda, Their style is primarily 20th Century minimalism. 

 

ashbalkum was written during the surrealist landscape of Covid 2021 settling in somewhere between a sweet dream & a beautiful nightmare. The music presents the juxtaposition of playful tranquility clashing with our tumultuous times. At once both instantly intimate & static while constantly changing, like moving while standing still. narrowly avoiding the pressures of our pre-apocalyptic world looming just overhead. 

The duo play with all the tones of the natural world around us, using music & voice as individual instruments for layered choruses of hypnogogic pop sounds in timeless film scores & dance-club rave-ups. There are serpentine reggaeton drum patterns with its driving dembrow rhythms weaving itself with Dub's expansive spacial awareness,

The title "ashbalkum" stems from a Korean phrase for the realization that what you've been experiencing as "reality" is actually a dream. It describes this music perfectly.
