Aevin - The Aftermath

Thu, 06 Apr 2017 16:50:34 +0300

released March 27, 2017

As the title suggests, “The Aftermath” acts like a personal beacon to the compositional endeavors of Aevin. The album concept manifests itself as a sonic vehicle for time exploration, enabling us to submerse ourselves in a melding of seething futurism and historical relic. Carefully chosen track titles guide our vividly imaginative journey through space and time, as they signify the specific period from which each song draws its inspiration and character. Return to the distant past with the cavernous echoes of music just conceived by a blacksmith in Crotona thousand of years ago or be transported to the remote future with the advanced, sci-fi frequencies of a hard-nosed world dominated by anthropomorphous machines, the Avatar D torrents. Addictively dancey yet thought-provokingly cerebral, richly textured yet meticulously precise, vibrantly visionary yet reverently traditional, “The Aftermath” adeptly weaves together a series of complementary opposites into a uniquely rich and deeply rewarding listening experience to delve into and return to.

Tracklisting of the album:

1. Court of Dreams
2. Pigeon Whisperer
3. Assemblage Point Shift
4. Avatar D
5. Year 6000
6. Trail of the Scarab
7. Blacksmith in Crotona
8. Elephsys at Pleiades

Sal Solaris Flint Glass - 11.03.16

Sun, 27 Nov 2016 18:14:06 +0300

released November 25, 2016

The twenty-ninth release by kultFRONT is the third part in a series of tapes collecting live recordings of like-minded musicians from different kinds of dark musical directions. This time we offer you the split-recording of Russian and French electronic experimentalists. Sal Solaris and Flint Glass met for the first time in March 2016 in St. Petersburg, Russia. Their joint gig took place in the "Ionoteka" club located on the site of former railway warehouses. SS presented their long-awaited new album "Thresholds" and for the first time played live the material that was being born in the studio over such a long time. Quite an uneasy spring for the band and its members. It's important that the transition to new rhythmical bases happened in that very point in time and space. Gwenn Tremorin performed the program especially prepared for this gig. Aside for well-known passages his set contained completely unique tracks. Perfect music for experts in sleepdancing. And if Sal Solaris have already physically released some of their live recordings, for Flint Glass this is the first time his live experiments are published.

SAL SOLARIS side:

01. Fail to Distinguish
02. Polygyny Model
03. Entangled Photons (for PVV)
04. Essay on the Reality of Science Studies
05. Сhildren of the Dead (Reutoff cover on C21H27NO2)
06. Pain

Sal Solaris side contains live versions of tracks from Distress, Eigengrau and Thresholds albums played with Roland SP 404SX, Behringer B-Control Deejay BCD3000, Lenovo V580c core i7, FutureDecks DJ Pro, Korg KaossPad 2, TC Electronics Flashback, Boss RV-5, Boss MT-2, Papa Srapa Пружина, Korg Monotron Delay, Korg Kaossilator, Technics RP-DJ1210, Senheizer HD 280 Pro. Dedicated to all people of good will.

Meta Meat - Metameat

Mon, 07 Nov 2016 21:59:32 +0300

released October 31, 2016

meta meat is the collaborative project of two electronic musicians and composers: somekilos (half of 2kilos &More) and phil von (co-leader of von magnet) who share a deep passion for percussion and rhythms. The name meta meat associates the source of flesh (meat) with its passage beyond (meta). A very physical live act bound to propel our bodies and souls into another state, a state of release and trance, incarnating a wish to elevate our animalistic simplicity towards a higher conscience of being.

The duo's joined skills and energies combine real drumming & beats (somekilos) with real stamping & banging (phil von) as a solid foundation for a vibrant 'duel' battling against twisted virtual synths, samples and machines. as the electronic sounds are treated as radically as the acoustic percussion, the finished music of meta meat turns out sounding utterly 'tribal' - cruel, merciless, sad, pandemic but harshly accurate. two antagonistic cultures scrape and collide against each other, occidental versus oriental, modern versus archaic… and even an eastern asian third element is added to the balance to stir an even more complex and brutal electro-ethnic blend.

Tracklisting of the album:

1. melt
2. backstitch
3. sword
4. shudder
5. deepen
6. tamed
7. rampage
8. escapism
9. behaviour
10. converge

Somekilos : electronic, drums, percussions
Phil Von : electronic, percussion, zapateados, voice, duduk, zurna

M4T - Behind the Line

Mon, 07 Mar 2016 16:40:42 +0300

released March 7, 2016

“Behind the Line” is a fusion of surreal and melancholic atmospheres , broken drums , glitches and acoustic guitars. A mix of analog and digital sounds that represents the ground noise of the urban space, and the – constant and instantaneous – narration of the perceptions of his inhabitants. Urban space is always more a sequence of transitions, and not of presence: is a succession of places that quickly disappear from the mind of who passes through them. Music is the instrument that allows me to catch all these momentary perceptions. The “line” is the boundary behind that I stand observing this chaotic landscape.

Solanic Interview with Scott Sturgis

Mon, 28 Dec 2015 19:32:15 +0300

Interview by Dmitry RecFrag
Translation by Katherine Pnevskaya

Interview with Scott Sturgis, the founder of such projects as Converter, Pain Station and Lowness. The author of the phenomenal album "Shock Front" which has changed the idea of sound and approach to writing post-industrial music.

- Who are you by education? What is your occupation now?
Scott: - Well, I didn’t go to college. I knew it wasn’t for me. Currently, I work from home in a sort of data entry position related to health insurance for Washington state’s lower income population.

- Do you have a family?
Scott: - I do. My wife of 20 years, Jenny, and our dog, Rain.

- Do you live in Seattle now? As a place with specific weather and atmosphere, does this city evoke certain mood? By the way, what is your attitude to Grunge?
Scott: - Yep, I’ve lived in Seattle for the past 15 years. Living here does evoke a certain mood, yes, but it’s different for everyone. Many people here love the nine months of clouds and rain so it doesn’t affect them emotionally. For others, it can be very difficult. But overall, it really isn’t as dour as you might think. People find ways to enjoy it. Me, I love the sun now more than I ever did and I value every chance I get to soak it in. I’m not a fan of the clouds.
As for grunge, I was never a fan. I think when it broke I was still listening to industrial only. I had a chance to see Nirvana at a very small venue in maybe 1990 or so, but I passed it up because what the hell did I care? They still play that shit on the radio here.

- Have your music taste changed over time? In particular early releases by Ant-Zen are still interesting for you?
Scott: - Oh yes, they have changed substantially. I listen to so many more types of music now than I did 10-15 years ago. I still find the early Ant-Zen releases very interesting, yes. I listened to all of it, so it’s still very much a part of me.

- What kind of equipment have you used for producing albums by Converter? Has it been changed from album to album (from project to project)? I heard that you've used only one sampler.
Scott: - I heard that you've used only one sampler. Everything I recorded from about 1995 to 2003 was written on the Ensoniq ASR-10 sampler only. Even vocals on the later Pain Station albums. In 2003 I bought a Roland MC-909, which was a terrible piece of equipment to work with. I still have it in the closet and I would almost rather smash it than sell it. With that plus the ASR-10, I wrote most of "Exit Ritual". I also recorded and performed the s.sturgis In a Haze CD with the MC-909 alone.

- After producing "Shock Front", did you have thoughts that you created something notable in comparison with others?
Scott: - No, not at all. It was a direction I was leaning toward with Pain Station and I just wanted to keep that idea going and try something new. I sent demo cassettes to Ant-Zen and one or two other labels. If I remember correctly, S.alt had the cassette in his car for a month or so, forgot about it, and then came across it again and contacted me.

shock front by converter

- Which of your tracks, in your opinion, is the most successful?
Scott: - I guess it depends on what kind of successful you mean. If you mean within the scene, I suppose I’d have to say "Death Time". It seems to be the most well-known song.

- What is your approach to work on albums? Did you write some number of tracks and then compiled them in one album or it was initially created as a story? By the way, do you tend to combine a lot of material with some concept? Can you name your music ideological?
Scott: - The approach depends on the project. If we’re just talking Converter, it was mostly just a compilation from a selection of songs. I don’t think any of the releases had a specific theme, but instead more of an overall sound. I have written albums that were more concept and theme-oriented, but for other projects. I can’t really say that I have any sort of ideology to what I have written. I’m not a trained musician in any sense, so anything I’ve written has been sort of pieced together in whatever way felt right at the time.

- I find "Exit Ritual" the most heavy, dark and not-for-club release by Converter. And how do you see it? What is the idea of this album and what it expresses?
Scott: - "Exit Ritual" was an experiment for me in some ways. I was writing with a new piece of equipment (the MC-909) and trying to combine some part of the older Converter sound while attempting new things with the new piece of equipment. Some of the more ambient songs were written on the ASR-10 alone, so they sound a bit different. I also did a lot of post-production editing with software so that was something new as well. I wanted the album to express a sort of ritualistic vibe in the sense that you can sit and listen and sort of trance out to the repetitive nature of the songs, whether they are sort of quiet or in-your-face harsh.

exit ritual by converter

- How often have you played live? Which performance is the most memorable for you?
Scott: - I honestly have no idea how many live shows I played over the years. Not nearly as many as most acts for sure. I stopped playing live a little over 10 years ago, basically because I’m not comfortable in the spotlight so to speak. The most memorable show was for sure Maschinenfest 2000. It was an absolutely amazing and life-changing experience for me.

- Do you focus on visuals? If you had a possibility to make a movie, would you like to try your hand in it?
Scott: - I’m definitely a fan of the visual arts, but I’m in no way creatively gifted in that area. I did create my own backing visuals that were projected during a few performances, but it was very lo-fi from VHS. I don’t think I would have the confidence to even attempt to make a movie, even if it was just me working on it alone.

- Why have you decided to stop working on the project Converter? Are you planning to revive it?
Scott: - I feel like I accomplished what I wanted to with Converter creatively, so I was satisfied with my output and felt like it was time to try something different. I have no plans to revive it, no.

- I would like to ask you about your side-project Lowness. What is the concept? Are the other releases planned?
Scott: - There was never an overall concept for Lowness and that’s intentional. I just wanted to use it as a vehicle to explore approaches to writing that I hadn’t attempted before. For example, utilizing guitar on the "Undertow" album. I have no plans for future releases at this time, but it’s a possibility in the future.

undertow by lowness

- Was it easy for you to delimitate your projects?
Scott: - I think so, because I felt like each project I worked on had its own purpose and its own approach when it came to writing for it.

- Tell about Auricle Media label. Who came up with the idea to found it? What is approach to selection and producing releases?
Scott: - I think the idea for Auricle Media was pretty much mutual between myself and Karloz. We both wanted to create an outlet to release our own side project ideas by our own hands (Notime, Broken Fabiola). We tried to grow from there and it didn’t really work out, but I think Karloz carried on with it.

- Could you name some events, people or things which have made you who you are now?
Scott: - Seeing KISS live in 1979 shaped the rest of my life.

- How do you rest usually? Do you have a hobby?
Scott: - I like to spend time outdoors when the weather permits. Taking walks with my wife and dog, riding bicycles on one of the many trails in the area, spending time near the water or just hanging out in the backyard. Indoors, I watch a lot of NHL and NFL (Pittsburgh Penguins/Pittsburgh Steelers) when they are in season.

- Do you keep an eye on noise scene now? Can you distinguish something special? Or what kind of music is close to you now?
Scott: - I don’t pay much attention to it, no. Aside from various releases that I receive from Ant-Zen, I really don’t listen to it at all anymore so I don’t know what the trends are nowadays. I listen to a bit of almost everything. Noisy indie rock, psychedelic, metal, stoner rock, classic rock, blues, jazz, funk, dub reggae, old hardcore, hip hop. Pretty much everything but the current pop garbage on the radio, country music and classical music.
