JAN GRÜNFELD :: Summerfugl [hpcd089]

“Talk, noise, voices, guitars. Beauty is everywhere. Your hand touches my hand. I ask you for the time. I’ll pick you up from school today. Thou headphones plugged into his ears. Everything is the same. All is well. I improvise on the doorstep, in the woods, on the field. Music comes out of the car radio, from the ICE seat, from the computer to the I-pod, the TV, mobile phones, the street, the room next door and my guitar. Fragments of my soul. Or yours? Random is a uniformly active principle. The butterfly principle. No principle.”

VARIOUS ARTISTS :: Futur[e]cho [CFM024]

“After months of planning and hard work, Cold Fiction Music’s third V.A. compilation arrives. Futur[e]cho began as an idea after the unexpected positive response of the first entirely dub-oriented release on the label: the DeepWarmth/Textural Being Split EP. Originally the idea of collecting people to work on a deep, dubby techno compilation album seemed too big for the scope of the label, but over time not only was the idea refined, but now the eight-month-long project is at an end, and the results are surprisingly good. The compilation, presented for your listening pleasure, features 11 notable artists in the present-day dubby, technoid scene. Coppice Halifax, Anton Mayer, Soap, Dublicator, Spiral Dub, Textural Being, ISA, DeepWarmth, As If, Spaceci and Fingers in the Noise all contribute works of art to the compilation, giving the final product a deep, ambient quality that was never anticipated when the idea was still just an idea.

And now, at long last, the release is open to the public, ready to make its mark in the history of Cold Fiction Music.”

ANDREA CONGIA :: Liberainosi de Mali [mime04]

“Consciousness, calmness, sense of protection are in this two electroacustic tracks by the guitarist Andrea Congia and remixed by Arrogalla.
Somebody defines dub like “the shadow of the music”, and for this release we used only the “shadow” of the two tracks produced by Andrea Congia: the main structure was deleted, we can listen only the result of the dubbing and the postproduction.
The release contains a dub ambient remix by Arrogalla, produced by mixing sounds from ancient musical instruments, such as launeddas together with the lo-fi Casio frequencies.”
