“Child, your roots are strong enough to grow through concrete and steel”
Matthijs Kouw * BJ Nilsen
Explaining the obscure by the more obscure: drones by Matthijs Kouw and BJ Nilsen
Sound and Stone * Dialog Tapes II
Various artists explore the Fessman Sound Stones * Eiléan and Dauw present musical soulmates in various combinations.
Siavash Amini * Amini & Umchunga
Solo work from Siavash Amini covering places behind shadows where darkness looms, and his collaboration with Umchunga reinterpreting dead composers beyond recognition.
Giulio Aldinucci * Murcof
Dark and suspenseful drones, gritty noise and orchestral choir arrangements present inescapable dystopic -but fascinating- views on current times.
VVolk * Claudio F Baroni * Olivia Block
Vvolk may very well be the only ‘ambient orchestra’ in the world * Three works inspired by (perpetual) motion by Claudio F. Baroni * Olivia Block‘s ‘132 Ranks’ will make you feel humble.
Machinefabriek Exclusive: Transform II * Michel Banabila
Celebrating 13 years of Ambientblog with an exclusive (and free) Machinefabriek track download “Transform II” * Michel Banabila‘s latest album re-explores his musical past (and also contains the original “Transform”)
Scanner * Mathieu St. Pierre
Extended version of the prophetic Scanner performance with Jim O’Rourke and Robert Hampson * Mathieu St. Pierre incorporates Google Street View to illustrate his glitchy soundscapes.
DreamScenes – October 2018
“No hay banda: there is no band. This is all a tape recording… And yet we hear a band… It is all recorded. It is all a tape. It is an illusion.”
(Silencio scene from Mulholland Drive, 2001)
