NEW Nava Spatiala split remix album

OUT NOW, FREE TO DOWNLOAD ON BANDCAMP!

 

This is a joint remix album by Polish project Secrets Of the 45 and Romanian noise/drone/ambient unit Nava Spatiala. Each project received three tracks of the other project and remixed them, using primarily only the track itself as basis for the remix. The resulting album is an exhilarating trip through glitchy landscapes, blurry drones, rumbling basslines, electronic chirps and whistles, enveloping the listener with alternating waves of noise and melodic hums, echoing in space, at the same time digital and organic. Each remix used deconstructed audible architectures taken from the original, in an approach of intersecting sounds in all possible ways ranging from infinite delays to granular synthesis.

Nava Spatiala enjoyed a lot playing around with SOT45 tracks and, at first, sampled what they liked. Then they took the parts and ran them through lots of delays, reverbs and various synthethic manipulaton techniques. Every track was performed and recorded live at the studio and compressed through some nice tubes.

Secrets of the 45 decided to take a melody-oriented approach, immersing himself in the noisy world of Nava Spatiala and then through careful filtering picking out hints of melodies, then layering them into humming and whistling soundscapes, as well as reshaping them live via granulator software.

Alo, alo, simbolismul o fi bun in arta?

Cartea vie (refugiul ultim, gadgetul total)

Textul de mai jos, un ping-pong de idei intre mine si tata (Bogdan), a fost solicitat initial de cei de la Dilema, pentru un numar special dedicat vietii online. Dilematicii au fost atat de interesati de el incat l-au publicat o editie mai tarziu, pe ultima pagina a revistei, fara sa-l includa si in editia online. Il reiau aici, ca sa circule. Textul meu e cel scris cu italice. Iar titlul e al lui tata, ocazie cu care ne mai intalnim si noi 🙂

Lectura placuta:

Viata online nu e viata, e doar online: tehno-bio-politica. Incitarea la exprimarea de sine e o capcana sigura, pe care o acceptam cu totii, permitind sa ni se schimbe conditia. Incitarea democratica la transparenta si incitarea la spontaneitate ne atrag in capcana geomarketingului: nu, nu mai sintem supravegheati in primul rind din motive politice, am devenit de mult inofensivi, ci doar din perspectiva conditiei noastre de consumatori.

Bjorky Allien stuff

Ultimul disc Ellen Allien, “Sool”, e dubios de psy ca sa mai poata intra, pur si simplu, la minimal. Daca e post-minimal sau daca vine direct din goa, ramane de vazut. Deocamdata, cel putin pana-n 27 mai, cand apare, e de bagat in heavy-rotation. Si de luat de-aici.

Nu uitati de unul dintre cele mai frumoase (Mark StentRatatat) remixuri dupa o piesa de-a lui Bjork, “Wanderlust”. Cunoscut, intre prieteni, si ca [Promo Mix II].
