[mi355] : Sphere within Sphere - 96/99

[PT]
Formado por Hiroyasu Izumori (Isolate Line) e Yuusuke Shimosada (Sparkler), os Sphere within Sphere, são um duo japonês que cria paisagens sonoras imersivas misturando a eletrónica com os sons das guitarras, o ruído e o "glitch".

O projeto centra-se na memória como uma presença viva, em vez de um passado fixo. Ao referir 1996 e 1999 como coordenadas emocionais, a obra explora a forma como momentos desaparecidos continuam a moldar o presente.

A sua música dissolve fronteiras de género, equilibrando estruturas algorítmicas com uma ressonância humana frágil. O resultado é um som pós-tudo, onde abstração e emoção coexistem em esferas sonoras em constante mutação.

A capa — uma fotografia Polaroid segurada diante de uma paisagem — capta visualmente esta sobreposição de tempos, enquadrando a memória dentro do próprio ato de observar.

[UK]

Formed by Hiroyasu Izumori (Isolate Line) and Yuusuke Shimosada (Sparkler), Sphere within Sphere are a Japanese duo who create immersive soundscapes, blending electronics with guitar textures, noise, and glitch.

The project centers on memory as a living presence rather than a fixed past. Referring to 1996 and 1999 as emotional coordinates, the work explores how vanished moments continue shaping the present.

Their music dissolves genre boundaries, balancing algorithmic structures with fragile human resonance. The result is a post-everything sound where abstraction and emotion coexist within shifting sonic spheres.

The artwork—a Polaroid held against a landscape—visually captures this layering of time, framing memory within observation.

Lemur - Lemur

[EN] Lemurs are strepsirrhine primates endemic to the island of Madagascar. Fossil records suggest that lemurs reached the shores of Madagascar by crossing the ocean in vegetation rafts. While their ancestors competed with monkeys and other primates in continental Africa, lemurs were able to evolve free from competition. This allowed them to differentiate from other species. The word lemur derives from the Latin lemures, which means "night spirit" or "ghost" and was probably coined due to the fact that these are nocturnal animals.

Lisbon-based Lemur was a "ragingly instrumental rock band", active between 2003 and 2006 and since hibernated. During that brief period of time they played about fifteen shows, sharing the stage with bands like Brainwashed by Amália, Katabatic, Bypass, Ölga, The Allstar Project, Frango and Puget Sound. They self-released a demo CD and later released an eponymous EP through the Merzbau netlabel. They also contributed to compilations such as "Animal Repetitivo", from the 2005 Out.Fest – an "exploratory music" festival which included Lemur in its first two editions – and "Can Take You Anywhere You Want", a release featuring Bor Land acts. Lemur went on to record exclusively for Borland three songs that have remained unreleased until this day.

Lemur's long slumber is now over: they are digitally releasing all their recordings, including previously unavailable tracks, in a joint effort between Enough Records and Associação Terapêutica do Ruído. The songs will be available for download at no cost. Lemur will also return to the stage (16 November 2013) to celebrate the 10 years of Sonic Fest, the festival they created with Brainwashed by Amália and where they played their first gig in July 2003.

[PT] Os lémures são primatas estrepsirrinos endémicos da Ilha de Madagáscar. Indícios fósseis indicam que atravessaram o mar após Madagáscar se ter separado de África. Enquanto os seus antepassados competiam com macacos e outros primatas, os lémures estavam a salvo, sem qualquer tipo de competição e por isso diferenciaram-se. A palavra lémure deriva do latim e significa "espírito da noite" ou "fantasma" e deve-se provavelmente ao facto de estas criaturas serem noctívagas.

Os Lemur de Lisboa eram uma banda de "rock furiosamente instrumental" que esteve activa entre 2003 e 2006 e que desde aí tem estado em hibernação. Nesse breve período de tempo deram uma quinzena de concertos, partilhando o palco com bandas como: Brainwashed by Amália, Katabatic, Bypass, Ölga, The Allstar Project, Frango e Puget Sound; editaram uma maqueta em edição de autor e um EP homónimo pela netlabel Merzbau e colaboraram em algumas compilações como a "Animal Repetitivo" do Out.Fest de 2005, festival em que participaram nas duas primeiras edições e a "Can Take You Anywhere You Want" da Bor Land, editora para a qual chegaram a gravar algumas faixas que permaneceram inéditas até hoje.

Despertam agora da sua longa catáfora não só para reeditarem em formato digital e gratuito a sua discografia completa, incluindo alguns inéditos, numa parceria entre a netlabel Enough Records e a Associação Terapêutica do Ruído, mas também para celebrarem os 10 anos do Sonic Fest, (16 Novembro 2013) festival que organizaram em conjunto com os Brainwashed by Amália e onde se estrearam ao vivo em Julho de 2003.

[FbL007] ldetm - farewell

LDETM | TWITTER .  SOUNDCLOUD . WEBSITE > DOWNLOAD | MP3 . COVER . MORE OPTIONS

The combination of two or more ideas that seem contradictory is always a good starting point to arise to new perspectives and different points of view, which ultimately lead us to think about our own actions and feelings. In my opinion, Philipp Teister’s work revolves around this concept, and his Farewell ep is nothing more than one proof of concept. The combination of an apparent innocent guitar with electronic harsh sounds, take us into a post-modern world, where anything can happen. From being kissed by a stranger passing by, to witnessing a building collapse. And after listening to the whole ep we can imagine this world, a post-romantic place that revolves around ourselves.

When talking with Philipp Teister aka ldetm about his work and Farewell two things striked me as very interesting. The first was that part of his inspiration comes from Bob Dylan’s work and the second one is that he would like to have orange in the cover of the ep, more specifically an orange Sun. These fragments of unstructured questions and answers are astonishingly coherent with his work in Farewell, because although I cannot describe exactly why he said that two things, I totally agree, that this is in fact an infected rock ep, infected by life itself, by its imperfections but nonetheless a vibrant world.

[mi123] : Eurasia. - Eurasia

Eurasia. is the project of a 20 years-old Japanese boy who his inspired by the bucolic countryside in the city of Wakayama. The 4 songs that make the debut of Eurasia. in MiMi grow in-between the ambiences and the keys of a piano with classical melodies. Akira, fictitious name behind Eurasia., is an anti-hero. Assume the lack of theory and technique in his compositions, but, in the end, he makes the music that he wants to hear.

"The end of the autumn" is the song closest to what is called post-rock, is also the composition where the piano has a greater role than ambience layers that rise by the end of an EP that seems have in the autumn a good ally.

The coordinates that surround the ambient and the post-rock are brought by Eurasia. on another release with the stamp of MiMi.

the tumbled sea - songs by the tumbled sea

A cada dia que passa o número de netlabels aumenta e por consequência existe mais música para ser ouvida e apreciada. No entanto, cada vez mais há menos tempo para ouvir e fazer "digging" do que as netlabels têm para oferecer.
Assim, uma das formas que às vezes utilizo é escolher os albuns/EPs pelas capas, como foi o caso destes The tumbled sea, um projecto entre o post-rock e o ambient que foi editado pela Future Recordings.
Um disco bem bonito, tal e qual como o desenho da capa.

cover art: back & front

Poros is a solo project of Paulo Vicente born in Lisbon (Portugal). Playing bass since 1987. He is also the author of the current xs records [pt netlabel] release, in which ((he presents himself as a one man band show) || (solo)) some sort of symbiosis occur between rock and electronic music, ambient, trip hop and downtempo.

Having such a passion for bass Poros bass leads the way to his admirable world of senses. Every note is played respectfully every chord has a smell, every beat a taste. You can sense different worlds in harmony. And all the other sounds increase this sense of perfume, of exotic nights, of longing for something. Carefully noises and sounds are placed in such a way that brings us closer and closer to desire.

This is we think what Paulo wants to show the world. If the word romantic wouldn't have such a bad implication nowadays we would say that Paulo is one of the ultimate romantics of this world. And this is also what we enjoy in the music we present you, passion and reverence for this language of feelings. Hope you guys enjoy this fine release as much as we enjoyed.

American Green - Beautiful Rain, Beautiful Tears

American Green é a cor preferida de Takafumi Shirai e também o nome do seu projecto musical que foi recentemente editado pela netlabel inglesa Lost Children.

"Beautiful Rain, Beautiful Tears" é o primeiro trabalho de American Green e está cheio de influências post-rock, electronica, ambient, Bossa Nova entre outras ao longo dos 20 minutos.
É um album interessante com uma electrónica um pouco retro, mas que nos alegra nestes dias de frio, chuva e tristeza...
