Biography found
on Archive.org
Luca Nasciuti is a London based composer trained in electroacoustic composition, classical music, visual and performing arts. His work spans from installation, to video and performance art, focusing on the legacy between acoustic and electroacoustic sound, and the interplay of sonic and visual practices within site-specific contexts. He has been granted residencies for solo and collaborative projects in the UK and he is exhibiting and performing his works throughout Europe.

My opinion :

It's an interesting experimental work full of dark atmospheres, bowed intruments ,cello sometimes for the first track.I have the feeling while listening to this album ,to explore unknown territories like abyss of our planet due to the perfect fusion of electro-acoustic and sub-aquatic sounds and ambient.The frenquencies used are really relaxing like all the drone music genre.

My opinion :
It's a very relaxing ambient album : minimal and progressive.The repetitives stuctures with the addition of subtle nuances are very hypnotic and positive for your soul.The sounds textures are perfect ,sometimes experimental and immerge us totally in the artist's universe which is atmospheric.

For all dreamers and ambient lovers.

And now a comment found on the album and artist's page
"Species” by Telegraphy, is a slow dub techno, minimal/ambient album. These beat-less tracks, transports us to a world where unknown lifeforms dwell. Unknown but not different from us. All of the tracks titles in this album, your probably wondering, sound kind of strange or desolate, thats because they are names of undiscovered species. No, you won't find then in any scientific journal any time soon. These species are not from this earth, they are names of alien beings. Greys, Reptilians, Mothman, call them what you will. They all have two eyes, two arms, and two feet. Just like us, different but the same. "Species” by Telegraphy, different but the same."

Who is Telegraphy ? For now he is the sole artist releasing material on ionosonde recordings. Born in 1978, Richard Sudney was raised, and resides in Detroit Michigan U.S.A. He's a sound designer, producer, photographer, artist, inquisitive electronics expert, fringe researcher, and eccentric collector of antique wireless communication equipment but behind all of these self-describing titles is a man with no title at all. A jack of all trades but master at non is a accurate description for Richard Sudney.

listen to 5 beautiful lute compositions by jozef van wissem on his website
and
Jozef van Wissem & Jim Jarmusch on wnyc.org

I love the tracks on his website, full of harmony ,minimalism, loving the progressions.

Jozef van Wissem
"Composer and lutenist Jozef van Wissem is devoted to what he terms "The Liberation of the Lute”.
Taking an experimental approach to Renaissance and Baroque forms of lute music, his compositions for the instrument have involved a dynamic mix of conceptual, minimalist, classical and improvisational strategies, seamlessly bridging the language of 17th century music with that of the 21st, without compromising the timbre and resonance of traditional lute playing techniques. "(biography from his website)

Yves 'Chaos' : Barytone Guitar

Humbert 'E.T.' Humbert : Guitar + Computer

Tarik 'Sexual' : Drum Machine



ENG:

This project is a fusion of metal ,experimental ,indutrial and post-rock music.
Indeed we travel through the doom metal style with its apocalyptic and downtuned guitars.The barytone guitar choosen in this opus is a good choice to immerging the listener into an energetic and surnatural universe.

The melodic parts are post-rockish and well-written.

my feelings about this disc are very good because i think the themes aborded and the atmospheres created are conceptual and addicting.

i will try the barytone guitar ,loving alternates tunings.according to wikipedia barytone tuning is (B-E-A-D-F#-B).
Many thanks to the artists



FR:

il s'agit d'un projet mêlant metal ,musique expérimentale,industrielle ,post-rock, électro.

En effet on ressent tout de suite ce côté metal doom ,les progressions , tempos et accords apocalyptiques liés à ce style qui fusionnent ici merveilleusement avec l'expérimental.
la guitare baritone est un bon choix pour véhiculer cette énergie surhumaine.
Pour les parties mélodiques on rencontre des guitares post-rock et interventions que j'ai trouvé envoûtantes ,très soignées.l'arrangement est parfait.
Mon impression de ce disque est très bonne, trouvant un thème central et des sensations très fortes dans toute l'oeuvre .
je vais tout de suite essayer cet accordage :si-mi-la-ré-fa#-si (B-E-A-D-F#-B) ,utilisant moi-même surtout les accords ouverts de ré(Open D) ou de sol(open G) ainsi que le drop de ré (drop D).
Un grand merci aux artistes.

My opinion :

ENG


Here is the album "Gillicudy plays guitar".

Comment from the Archive.org page

After the great success of Jenova 7's first release, here comes Dusted Jazz Volume Two. The layering of phat drums, groovy basslines and addictive jazzy elements is pure genius and brings delightful reminiscences from the supreme years of the oldschool organic samples-based hip-hop. In case you missed it, be sure to check Dusted Jazz Volume One

my opinion :


ENG:

it is a work full of maturity, a fusion of ambient and neoclassical music.
We can enjoy melodies of piano, solos of violin, cello, intriguing and dark atmospheres, guitars, sound effects.
The album is a delight, with a textural side created by the atmospheres and melodic side, the section of strings is efficient in the progressions and its melancholy .
Emotionally very strong and pleasant this disk dives us in the past.There is beautiful waltzes full of nostagia.
The title 3 "Easy Steps to Moving Downward" is very positive and possess an exceptional energy with contemporary jazzy notes and chords spiced by divine ambient explorations.

A cinematic work in my opinion, loving the concept, that our lives can be captured and can be retranscribed via our artistic activities.
A big thanks to the artists for these powerful explorations.


FR:

il s'agit d'une oeuvre pleine de maturité ,on navigue entre les territoires ambient et néo-classique majoritairement.
On rencontre des mélodies de piano , solos de violon, violoncelle , atmosphères intriguantes et sombres,guitares ,bruitages.

L'album est un délice ,on savoure à la fois ce côté textural par les atmosphères ainsi que mélodique ,la section de cordes est efficace dans les progressions et de la mélancolie s'en dégage.
Emotionnellement très fort et agréable ce disque nous plonge dans le passé.On y trouve de belles valses pleines de nostagie.
Le titre 3 "Easy Steps to Moving Downward " est très positif et possède une énergie exceptionnelle avec des notes ,accords un peu jazz contemporain le tout pimenté par des explorations ambient divines et reposantes.

Un disque cinématique à mon avis , partant du concept ,que nos vies peuvent être capturées et retranscrites via nos activités artistiques.
Un grand merci aux artistes pour ces explorations .


About the artist
:

"Eta Carinae -- The Project was born in the year 2010. The Idea of the musical fusion rose from my novel Eta Carinae, existing since 2008.
I try to put all dark and sinister images into musical landscapes and post-rockish and ambiental walls. My music is like a mirror, very different, sometimes strange, jazzy, classical, melancholical but always Eta Carinae. The full release called 'Rest' is the first full length I'll release.
In two years I wrote tons of tracks and âscapes. I think 'Rest' is now ready to go out. It's very experimental I think, all of Eta Carinae flows into 'Rest', from electronica spheres to rock parts.
It's not a concept album; every song stands alone and for itself and flow into 'Rest'.

I'm always inspired by journeys through my home, Germany, the Woods, the people, all strange things I see every day, and over there I'm inspired from other beautiful countries like Ireland, the northern countries, all this, with its breath of coldness but beautiful strangeness.

I think Music must be a kind of Heart and Soul and the Heart of the Soul turns into Music." -- the artist

Comments from the archive.org page:

Venetian Veil is a side project of Sacramento area post rock/metal shoe gaze artists (waning). A richly layered style which is equal parts early 4AD and an entire 3-decades of cross-genre influences contribute to this release.

A dream of the ghostly woman in the cinema, whispering into your ear. Star-gazing music. If the listener sleeps, all the better. Patterns in the carpet, the wall, the trees, the clouds.

My opinion:

ENG

Interesting album of ambient using the dark atmospheres , vocals  and  a big variety of instruments.This album is very intense, even hypnotic.
the intriguing progressions  reveal us  the interior world of the artists, every title being more surrealist than the precedent.
It is an album  that will awaken your senses, and will bring you a lot of pleasure because  the exploration is so deep.

FR

Intéressant album d'ambient utilisant des atmosphères sombres ,du chant ,une grande variété d'instruments.Cet album est très intense, même hypnotique .Des progressions intriguantes révèlent le monde intérieur des artistes ,chaque titre étant plus surréaliste que le précédent.
Il s'agit donc d'un album qui éveillera vos sens, et vous apportera beaucoup de plaisir tant l'exploration est profonde.
