0 New Faux Pas Quartet Release
MCSD NetLabel is happy to announce the new five song, 52 min. release by Faux Pas Quartet “MflT Favorites Vol. 2; That’s not music!” #nerdhop
Faux Pas Quartet has performed live improvisations on the streaming radio and podcast “Music from last Thursday” (MflT) on radio.electro-music.com for more then fifty-eight episodes at the time of this release.
“MflT Favorites Vol. 2; That’s not music!” contains fifty-six minutes of the fifty plus hours of music that has been created during the show to date. Including a track with guest “lower case” artist jmtta.
Podcasts of MflT are available for download at www.mflt.info or iTunes – search “Music from last Thursday”.
Faux Pas Quartet is a free form improvisation ensemble whose sole purpose is the spontaneous expression of the unconscious.
The resulting music, quite literally, comes from the same stuff of which dreams are made. Archetypes of the psyche rising unfettered through the medium of the unconscious and becoming manifest in the share conscious reality.
The music is soothing, agitating, floating, rhythmic, funny, scary, sad, angry, melodic and atonal.
Relax, open up and take the time to flow with the music. Above all, give your self permission to explore the irrational.

Ed Smith
Ed Smith recent works are mixed media collage painting that incorporate painted papers, journal pages and drawing with oil pastels.
Surrealestate
Bunny and Kelly Sheets use vintage and new synthesizers to create their unique blend of old and new Berlin school ambient electronica.
jmtta
Delicate, thoughtful, “lower-case” soundscapes. Compositions for people who enjoy silence. A muted collection of sparse soundscapes, lightly dusted with quiet sounds and micro rhythms.
The Angry Red Planet
You get to The Angry Red Planet by riding a sonic star craft whose destination lies somewhere between nightmares and dreams. Electronic and synthesized soundscapes combined with acoustic percussive accents demand the listener to caresses the puzzle box, enter the rabbit hole and say the magic words… Once alighted, the magnetizing pulse of this diverse quartet will hold the audience captive in their new home… The Angry Red Planet.

0 Five new releases of interest
Five new releases for your aural pleasure. Different styles, different artists, different labels. Imaginative, well crafted, well executed music. Images and project names will link to the music.
Skiks (Bruce Hamilton) – compulse
“compulse” is a collection of (mostly) pulse-driven microtonal/xenharmonic tracks produced in 2010-2011. Tunings are often mixed, producing a kind of heterophonous pitch space; other times one tuning or scale is explored with focus. The track list is designed for album style listening.
Emerald Adrift (David Herpich) – Within the Purple Forbidden
This set was recorded live at the Kansas City Electro-Music Festival on Friday, July 23, 2010 and is full of surprises. Most notable about this release is Emerald Adrift’s unique ability to transition effortlessly from one genre to another so smoothly. This longform live set glides from spacious piano ambience with jazz and classical influences, to celestial night-sky space music, to experimental terrain that recalls Morton Subotnick and some of the early sounds of electronic music. This is an album to get lost in. A powerful sonic experience that never overly indulges in sounds, leaving just enough space for a wonderfully introspective journey.
Artist Website: Emerald Adrift
Artificial is a collection of 16 cyberpunk inspired works between music and noise. Roaming electronic styles from ambient to experimental to psychedelic krautrock . Mystical and yet full of life organic musical movement by Jack Hertz. This release as Jack wrote : is focused on using the studio to explore surreal sonic spaces that feel natural and artificial at the same time .
jmtta (Jason Breitigan) – about an ocean
a collection of sounds and textures that willingly surrender themselves to the tiny corners of your speakers, and reside there as whispers and dust.
— Delicate, thoughtful, “lower-case” soundscapes.
Shane Morris – Complex Silence
Shane presents four minimal pieces that can only be described as lush and gorgeous. Bell-like sounds and electric piano predominate, but to say that is at once a contradiction. Listen deeply and then listen even more deeply. You’ll hear reversed drones, floating tones, washes of faraway sounds, hints of melodies, echoes and reverbs adding space and immensity to an overall ambience and drifting quality, yet each track is intense and focused.
Four tracks of pure, ambient complexity. An October treat for your ears and for your mind.

Music by KWA, John Gore and Faux Pas Quartet
Musicians:
KWA is an abstract multi-sensory artist specializing in UltraSonic Illuminations. His work lifts the veil of deceit and thought control propagated by Mass Media. KWA lays down The Sonic Law and compels a paradigm shift in consciousness. Utilizing experimental methods KWA’s recent works force the listener to question the mechanics of the world in which we live and the very nature of perception itself.

John Gore
“The Oratory of Divine Love”
Radio-manipulation project by John Gore. Music from the radio aether that surrounds us.
“The Oratory of Divine Love is the radio-manipulation project of John Gore (‘kirchenkampf’, >wirewall<). It has been in existence since the early 00’s. The goal is new music drawn from the radio wave aether that surrounds us all. It can be both noisy and surreal. Music for the within and without.
