Two of my dear friends from way back when I lived in Copenhagen is brewing with an album as TIN & ELISHA, Ole Hansen and Ann Westergaard and with assistance by Kenneth Agerholm (New Jungle Orchestra)
Here is a most brilliant taster:
I think I have convinced them to "go Bandcamp" with the album, so I'm sure there will be much more about this in the near future
- And here's the second taster from this very talented danish duo:
@Brighternow I see from the bandcamp emails that you bought one of this series in the last day or two as well. Is it just coincidence that immediately after you and @rostasi and @djh discussed the strange pricing on this label, all of the albums changed from EUR999 ($1200) per album (AND THE SAME PRICE PER TRACK!) to NYOP? Did one of you contact them? It's a welcome change - there is some fun stuff to explore there. (It's fun to be the first person to buy a bandcamp album too).

I did not contact them. They started January 10, 2021 with 001 Philippe Petit, so most likely it was a mistake, but who knows . . .
Philippe Petit

The artistic choices are made by Philippe Petit, who has been supporting
left field music since the 80’s and releasing through his labels
Pandemonium Rdz. and BiP_HOp.

Modulisme (translates Modularism) is a media supporting

program aired via 7 antennas, and above all label-like streaming music
for you to listen to…
What’s in each section:Sessions
– There we are offering original music and developing a platform that
will document the genre and draw attention upon the composers who make
it strong.
For practical reasons using BC and thus a “pay what you want” price as
their service does not allow streaming-only BUT our sessions aren’t for
sale as I’m insisting on not doing a business… If you want to support it
is welcome and we’ll cover our costs and share revenue with each
artist.
But each session can be streamed without any limitation and should grow on you revealing details with each listen.
NP: From 2014 and new on Starkland's Bandcamp page:
This excerpts demonstrates how a swarm of crickets is turned into music.
Individual crickets are isolated and their pitch and rhythm
transcribed. When slowed down and the pitch dropped to human performance
capabilities the parts are individually performed on brass, reed and
wind instruments. These performed parts are then time compressed to
create the type of velocities found in the original cricket sounds.
. . ."He has recorded with Tom Waits, Anthony Braxton, Terry Riley, Lou
Harrison, John Butcher, Derek Bailey, Peter Kowald, Otomo Yoshihide, the
ROVA Saxophone Quartet, and Eugene Chadbourne, among many others. In
addition, Robair has performed with John Zorn, Nina Hagen, Fred Frith,
Eddie Prevost, Thinking Fellers Union Local 282, Myra Melford, Wadada
Leo Smith, and the Club Foot Orchestra." . . .
NB: "Sean Raspet’s scent creations are presented on a scratch and sniff card
included with the physical copies of SUPERSENSE so that listeners can
get the full experience, taking in the smells as they hear each track"
"Abstractions in Sound" is the final installment in Matthew Evan Taylor's
"Unheard Mixtapes" series, commissioned by Metropolis Ensemble.
As composer Anthony R. Green writes in his liner notes for the project,
"Crevices often contain the richest universes that can be passed,
ignored, displaced, forgotten in a matter of seconds. Every person - who
also is a unique world - contains multiple crevices which reveal
themselves sometimes through speech, comportment, creativity. In Matthew
Evan Taylor's Abstractions in Sound, his intimate musical crevices are
laid bare for listeners to examine, absorb, intimate. The album, though
separated into six distinct improvisations, suggests a journey
containing a single path through various terrains, each with their own
unique, rich crevices. Suffice it to say, this ultimately left-to-right
journey is rife with micro- and macro-wanderings through space and time
via musical phenomena: microtonal inflections, multiphonics, licks,
vibrato extremes, tone beauty, tone ugliness, the harmonic series, vocal
modulations, interruption, saturation, and so much more."
- Converging at a cultural terminus that bridges Belgian electronic music,
French comic book culture and the cream of the cinéma fantastique film
genre, this rescued and previously unreleased multi-discipline art film
soundtrack entwines unlikely links between the likes of Daniel Schell's
Cos, French vampire film director Jean Rollin, Tintin, dark ambient
pioneer Igor Wakhévitch, Heavy Metal magazine, Moebius,
Alejandro Jodorowsky, choreographer Maurice Béjart, musique concrète
legends François Bayle and Luc Ferrari, and some of the most notorious
examples of pre-certificate Video Nasties and Mondo cinema. Needless to
say the empty branch on the Finders Keepers family tree reserved for
synthesist, sound designer and ethnological instrument enthusiast Alain
Pierre is ready to bare some very strange fruit. . . .
Listening to one of my favourite songs "Even Less" from the Porcupine Tree 1999 album "Stupid Dream".
AMG says of "Stupid Dream" that it "starts out with a definite bang -- "Even Less," with some of the quartet's biggest, blasting rock epic music yet, yet also shot through with the gentler, acoustic side that makes Porcupine Tree so intimate and lovely".
