The Macrotones : From the Void [ADD060]

“There’s a unique laboratory in Waltham Massachusetts where they invented what they called Singularity Black, a paint made up of the darkest material known to mankind. Using micro, nanotube technology, it was originally developed for NASA’s aerospace crafts and exo-planet telescopes. When applied it creates a ‘void-like experience.’

At the same time, two floors below in that building’s basement, a rather large group of musicians, The Macrotones, were making an album. Their sacred weekly rehearsals came to a halt when the pandemic hit, their steady progress slowed to a crawl. The band had just invited Phil Desisto to join as the lead singer, after being mostly instrumental for over a decade. It took nearly four years of on-again, off-again sessions to complete the LP, but with a renewed sense of musical purpose, the album came together with songs to sing and dance away the darkness. With brass-filled broadcasts and soulful strutting, turning madness into music, the Macrotones have returned From the Void.

Back at the lab, a small bottle of Singularity Black will run you several hundred dollars, but a black 12” wax disc of From the Void will run you about twenty bucks. An economical & enjoyable way to achieve a void-like experience.”

Melting Clouds : Macadam [SLNT046]

Macadam – afflux without enveloping space. Waves of dissolving time. Feeling like a bright flame, which is above the mountains.
Melting Clounds are trying not to limit themselves to any particular genre or style while constantly transforming. The reason is that the music they play goes beyond the threshold of ‘just music’, it has its own visual characters and philosophy which are entangled with other areas of art blurring the lines and united under the flag of Melting Clouds. As a result, one of the main goals is consolidation and synthesis of both musical palettes and various forms of art in order to create new vision of the process of creation. Also, one of the goals is to cooperate with people who have fresh ideas and the willingness to cooperate.”

Enclosure : Fifth of 3 [pyr069]

“nearly five years in the making, fifth of 3 completes a three album, two ep serial quasi-concept album sequence that began with [ROOM]’s spaces. the change in moniker is intended to usher in the change from the possibilities and travails on spaces to the constraints and traps in fifth of 3. the brackets around Room were to foreshadow the evolution while offering an ironic play on the word – space in one sense but closed space of a building in another.
this recording covers a dynamic audio range. please be careful with your stereo systems. damage may result at high volumes.
the individual tracks are made available under creative commons for non-profit use. the entire series is covered by copyright for commercial purposes. please contact the artist through pan y rosas for licensing.”
