Zavoloka
‘1’-zeromoon-3”CDR-beautylittlecompact’o’sleevy
/Lying somewhere
in between contemporary classical music and beat electronica, Kateryna
Zavoloka makes an invisible bridge between the ultra-intellectual approach
of say Pierre Schaeffer and the more relaxed, instinctive melodica-vs.-amiga
one of say Trombone. Twenty minutes of digital beatz’n’dronz,
sampled-and-hacked vocals, sweet spontaneous tune creation and beauty.
Free music: free to electronics like free is to jazz. Another superb
3” from Zeromoon.

Zeljko Mc Mullen ‘disorder’-shinokyo-CD
and see below
/A black CD (too bad it isn’t a carbon CDR, by the way)
printed in black (glossy black on mat black so you actually can see
what’s printed) into a black cardboard envelope with a handpainted
round black insert. Wow. Melodies slowly arise from the noise drones
as layers of strings emerge from chaotic walls of synthesis then waves
of static shatter the notes away. Wow. All tracks are extremely different
and somewhat tightly fit into one another, exploiting and abusing all
frequencies within the sonic spectrum. Wow. As the liner notes suggested,
I first tried to listen to it at high volume –but my loved one
came back to work so I went downstairs to have dinner with her and I
left the record playing upstairs and it felt just like the liner notes
said it would: pleasantly environmental. Wow. Seen Tarkovski’s
‘Stalker’? This could be the soundtrack to it. Wow. The
record is well over the hour mark and flows naturally from beginning
to end just like Schultze’s ‘timewind’ did, if Schultze
had listened a lot to Lab Report, that is. Wow wow. I’m not of
the easily impressed so when I say this record is exceptional you should
believe me.

ZeroMoon
sampler-credit card CD
/ZeroMoon is
the home of great artists reviewed here on a regular basis and the sampler
is even better as one could expect: due to the format, you got 6 tracks
on a less than 9’ CD, making you ask for more at the end of each
track.
