Jan Grünfeld : Music for plants [LBN031] [hpcd109]

“The tracks of Music for plants are based on a live improvisation with electric guitar and a looping machine. Jan Grünfeld has recorded the music in the summer of 2014 on a huge balcony of an old villa in Bad Muskau, right at the German-Polish border – a very arcadian place!
The music is free, like a suntrap. The plants grow better with Jan Grünfeld’s music!
But not turn up too loud! And do not forget to water!”

Various Artists : La bèl pop (fifth anniversary compilation) [LBN030]

“This year La bèl will turn 5 years old and we wanted to celebrate its birthday by publishing a La bèl compilation with all the artists that collaborated with us during these years. The idea is to ask each one of their for a ‘pop’ track, leaving complete freedom to their personal interpretation of this word. We think this would be a nice idea, since hardly any of their works within the ‘pop’ scene. La bèl pop (fifth anniversary compilation) is the final outcome of this experiment.

This compilation is published to coincide with the first Netlabel Day.”

Plusplus : Psycho [LBN026]

Psycho is the third and final installment in the ‘Evils trilogy’ from Adam Radmall aka Plusplus consisting of eight new tracks that continue on a similar theme to the two previously acclaimed albums ‘Evils’ (2010) and ‘Game Over’ (2012). Compared with the first two Plusplus albums, Psycho is more a collaboration with Bryan Styles (Plantman) and Rob Scillitoe contributing on drums and double bass respectively. Producer John Hannon also contributed significantly. The result is much more of an organic sound that reveals another side of the plusplus yet retains a similar mix of brooding atmospheres and circadian rhythms punctuated by playful folk melodies evident on previous work.”

Alexandre Navarro : Lost Cities [DR-16]

“I was watching and re-watching 70-80′ anticipation / sf movies – that is my favorite genre (Blade runner, They Live, Solaris, Planet of the Apes, THX 1138, Soylent Green etc.)… It inspired me for Lost Cities that is about the search of poetry in an ultra technologic world where happiness becomes fake where human forget about his roots … Like a short story, a narration, it talks about the dream of an escape ….”

Adriano Orrù : Palimpsest [pyr106]

“I am a double bass player, though I was curious to make experimental music playing the electric bass, my early years instrument. So I asked some friends – Paulo Chagas, Silvia Corda and Mauro Sambo to overdub some tracks I sent them via web and vice-versa to send me some ideas to record over. The result is this album of ten duets.”

Nick Rivera : Zamalek [LBN023]

Zamalek is an island in Cairo in the middle of the Nile. But also a neighbourhood, something in between. This album is about the sky you can’t see from this island and the things that swim in it. Zamalek is a warm cuddle from your trusted friend, a fist in the nape from your best enemy.”

Daniel Barbiero : Complex Silence 37 [treetrunk 275]

“Live improvisations for solo double bass and for prepared double bass were recorded and then manipulated to create slowly moving sonic environments which remain fundamentally rooted in the nature of the instrument. Allusions to Fogs & Liquids represents a type of music concerned with sound as something in itself, a material externality. But it can’t help but carry associations. Here the listener takes over from the composer/performer.” –Daniel Barbiero, 2013
