  • electro-music festivalcollage-3

    For over a decade, people have gathered together to listen to and perform experimental electronic and electro-acoustic music, to swap gear and ideas, and to find like-minded life-long friends under the umbrella of electro-music.com. These gatherings have fostered an eclectic and diverse community of musicians and makers, improvisers and composers, amateurs and academics. The strangest thing about the electro-music community? That this might be the first time you’ve ever heard of it.

    For the past six years, the annual electro-music festival has been held in Huguenot, NY. As of the last day of 2016’s electro-music festival, the upstate New York days have been uploaded to the archive.

    ELECTRO MUSIC IS MOVING TO THE MIDWEST

    2017 will be the first e-m held in Indianapolis, Indiana. August 4-6 (instead of MEME, the Midwest Electro-Music Experience).
    The Irving Theater will host experimental musicians from the United States and all over the world.
    This year’s lineup includes but is not limited to 44 performances, 70+ musicians, and 5 video artists.

    Irvington is home to a variety of culinary options from handcrafted pizzas to Mexican seafood to caribbean cuisine.
    Additionally Sun King beer and nonalcoholic beverages will be available for purchase at the show.

0 New Release: Immeasureable by onewayness & dRachEmUsiK

  • March 25, 2014
  • by Charles Shriner
  • · dRachEmUsiK · MCSD Studio & NetLabel

immeasurable_front_notext

Immeasurable is available as a CD and digital download from:
MCSD Netlabel (mcsdnetlabel.com)
Onomastic Records (onomastic.org)


Immeasurable is the second full-length collaboration from onewayness (Adam Holquist / Erie, PA) and dRachEmUsiK (Charles Shriner / Indianapolis, IN), following 2012’s critically acclaimed The Sound of Thunder, which Star’s End Ambient Radio named as one of their Significant Releases of 2013.

Immeasurable is a long-form piece in four movements, based on the brahmavihāras (the “four immeasurables”), a series of four Buddhist virtues and the meditation practices made to cultivate them.  Metta – Loving Kindness, the wish that all sentient beings, without any exception, be happy; Karuna – Compassion, the wish for all sentient beings to be free from suffering; Mudita – Empathetic Joy, the attitude of rejoicing in the happiness and virtues of all sentient beings; Upekkha – Equanimity, the attitude of not distinguishing between friend, enemy or stranger, but regarding every sentient being as equal.

The piece combines deep drones and ambience, percussive and dub elements, and analog warmth from acoustic guitars, bowed strings, vintage electric piano, voice, and shruthi box, to build an ambient, pulsing, sparkling and joyful whole.

This month features two new releases

by jmtta and dRachEmUsiK

All releases on MCSD NetLabel are “pay what you want” downloads.
You name the price.
And yes, that means you can choose to download the music for free.
2014 will bring you new music by Faux Pas Quartet, Joo Won Park, Kevin Haller, Barb Vesey Johnson, Duet for Theremin and Lapsteel, dRachEmUsiK and more!

Tokens of Appreciation – jmtta

Lowercase sound artist jmtta’s fourth release offers new sounds, songs, and textures constructed completely on an ipad. “Tokens of Appreciation” explores the sonic possibilities of mobile sound, keeping true to the love of small sounds, open ended melodies, and the quaint crackles and pops, this release is a showcase of bigger sound on smaller platforms.

—————————————————————————————————————–
 Theta Drone 1 – dRachEmUsiK

This is a simple twenty minute Drone created to facilitate deep meditation, guided visualizations and active imagination work using 4-7 Hz Binaural Beats to induce Theta waves.

Atlanta Sessions Vol. 2, Scott Burland & dRachEmUsiK
Atlanta Sessions Vol. 2v2smlTheremin and Electronic Wind Instrument are the primary instruments used to create this spontaneous sonic journey. Recorded in 2012 between the afternoon of November 12th and the morning of the 13th, there was very little planning regarding approach, structure, instrumentation or style. We would talk, share about our lives, eat, go to the market, sleep and in-between sit down and make music. The end result was a musical conversation between elements of our unconscious; a dream-world mirror of the surrounding shared conscious reality. Close your eyes, relax and experience what these simple yet emotionally rich dialogs have to say to you.

 The Sound of Thunder
 The Sound of Thunder was inspired by the final movement of    T.S. Eliot’s ‘The Waste Land’, ‘What the Thunder Said’; and also by the Brihadaranyaka Upanishad, from which it draws heavily.  Each movement is based on one of the four concepts from the Upanishad, as used by Eliot:  Datta (Charity), Dayadhvam (Mercy), Damyata (Restraint), and Shantih (Peace).

0 Alternoia by 7h3 n3w f4L$3 9ODz

  • July 4, 2012
  • by Charles Shriner
  • · dRachEmUsiK


Sound for Good records have partnered with Trees for the Future and WDCS to offer the new release "Alternoia" by The New False Gods . Please read the literature in the download. Optionally, your donation of any amount will be help support the Trees for the Future AND the Whale and Dolphin Conservation Society projects. Your support is appreciated in helping make a difference in the world with music.

Alternoia is the result of the collaboration between a group of prominent artists who create work under a variety of electronic sub-genres. Under the direction of Jack Hertz, artists were tasked to create music for an album inspired by 'altered states' and 'paranoia,' hence the name: "Alternoia." Working as 7h3 n3w ƒ4£$3 90Ðz (The New False Gods), their divine skillz have produced a unique set of tracks that, in my mind, are truly evocative of the album title. Jack Hertz created demos for each track that were given to each artist to work on. What is great about this album is that each track is unique and contains elements of noise, jazz, dark ambient, etc. The elements have been masterfully mixed together to produce an album that is melodic, strange and otherworldly.

Since 1989, Trees for the Future has been helping communities around the world plant trees. Through seed distribution, agroforestry training, and our country programs, we have empowered rural groups to restore tree cover to their lands. Planting trees protects the environment and helps to preserve traditional livelihoods and cultures for generations. More information can be found at www.plant-trees.org

Whale and Dolphin Conservation Society (WDCS) is the leading global charity dedicated to the conservation and welfare of all whales and dolphins. Serving as a world voice for the protection of these animals, creating pressure to bring about change. WDCS defend these remarkable creatures against the many threats that they face such as hunting, captivity, chemical and noise pollution, ship collisions (ship strikes) , entanglement in fishing nets (bycatch) and climate change. The organization does this by taking money raised and pumping it back into campaigns and projects across the globe that really do have an impact. Learn more about the WDCS online at www.wdcs.org

Sound for Good is a record label that publishes and promote new music as a means to support good causes. This is an independent project that is supported directly by the artists and is not for profit or monetary gain in any way. All the artists time and 100%
of your donation are focused on support a good cause.

The cover is taken from a painting by a Los Angeles California artist Treiops Treyfid. Nice one :) Web Site: treiops.com

This album would not be possible without help from the artists who performed with a 10 Ton weight hanging over them. A really BIG
thanks goes to Mark Blood for writng the wonderful album liner notes for the tracks and artist' profiles. Special thanks to Kim Cascone for suggesting the group name: "The New False Gods." Remember, only the paranoid survive.
