Sephirot : Flash FWD [PLANET032]

“Having released his debut EP with Planet Terror in December 2009, Sephirot returns with Flash FWD, a four-track EP encompassing vibrant house, deep dub tones, soft jazz inflections and syncopated 2-step rhythms. Somehow this young Leeds-based musician has further broadened his sound, absorbing new influences and spitting them back out as a fresh, synthy melange across this half-hour offering.”

Various Artists : Lav.NEXT [Lav44]

“Visionaries of the intelligible

Are we belonging to a small circle of visionaries of the intelligible?
Are we those ones fated to live out of this way of living?
Questions to be engraved into the silent mechanisms that animate the sound defined as electronic.
These are the questions I always wonder about , since I started to listen non -conventional music and I tried, wrongly, to propose it to those who didn’t have the perceptiveness of the unseen.
By listening and listening, genre after genre until reaching the rarefied atmosphere that reigns over the 3000 metres, in those endless lands where that sound defined as ambient has built its kingdom.
Ambient is a very reductive term that contains universes of sounds rich in memories whose source fades away in the night as black as vinyl.
Nevertheless the “electronic” theme is always considered and dealt with as a sub product linked to the 4/4 beat that is too noisy and “grooved” by a teen aging audience.

In Laverna no one of us has that fabulous age anymore, we don’t produce electro, techno and similars, even if we certainly do not disdain that wild jump on riding the ‘BMPs’ (certainly score not a dive into the ‘BMPs’).
Expressly this writer goes well beyond that glorious threshold and yet ….yet he can still be carried away by the charm of the solemn dance of the ‘drone’, dreaming voraciously within recurring sound loops, emotionally longing for the late silent wave anticipated by a single note of the piano that reveals its substantial minimalism.

He dreams, eyes wide open, looking deeply into the future trying to engrave into a collection which, unusually, does not consider sounds already created and listened to, but includes sounds/dreams still to come, traces of visions common to all the nine artists that take part in this project and that still have to create their own personal path which will lead them into the Laverna Space.
A reverse operation dictated by the always present need of ‘searching’, a necessary element in the hands of those ones who continuously try to propose innovative artistic shapes.
Gigi Masin, Molven, Giorgio Ricci, Manuel Cecchinato Posadas, William Capizzi, Easychord, Fabio Anile, Leastuperbound e The Secret Life of the Black Suit: these are the artists that accepted our invitation, everyone with his own style and with his own path, but everyone belonging to the small circle of dreamers: visionary poets of the intelligible.”

Bartek Kawula : Glass [bsc_013]

“With a greater focus on live sampling, Bartek Kawula arranges subtly complex minimal house numbers with infectious melodies ideal for both club consumption and headphone listening. The opening title track is a grooving house stomper combining organic percussion sounds, floating synths, electric melody and suspenseful vocal chops. ‘Changes’ is a deep Chicago inspired house track with gradually building percussion layers, light synth melodies and husky male vocal samples. ‘Open Out’ closes the release with some dark and raw banging techno that playfully evolves into a drifting house track incorporating sultry heavy breath sounds and hypnotic keyboard rhythms. Glass showcases Kawula’s unique take on classic minimal house structures.”
