RELEASES
|˟˟| ( GATE )
No Exit
FLTTRY004
Release Date: 15 Nov 2009
|˟˟| creates a wild environment in his debut on Fluttery Records. 'No Exit' is a path to discover his music which stands somewhere between noise and jazz, but which is also influenced by drone, industrial and Mongolian traditional music. In this Tokyo based project everything is product of solo improvisation without any overdubbing; it is completely free music without plans, themes, or melodies; and the music on the CD is - except for some fade-in or out - exactly the same as when it was first created. 'No Exit' is an expression of discomfort, restlessness and oppression. Lajos Ishibashi-Brons (the person behind the |˟˟| project / pronounced as 'gate') says “Modern society expects - even demands - people to be happy. Vast numbers of people walk around with a forced and fake smile, pretending to be what society wants them to be, until they break down. Such fake happiness and its commercial products, such as most pop music, is depressing and nauseating more than comforting. Perhaps my music is a response to and expression of the discomfort caused by this euphoritotalitarianism.”
OPEN WORK STOCKING
Diademia
FLTTRY003
Release Date: 02 May 2009
Open Work Stocking (aka Anton Tatarinov) is an one man electronic music project from St. Petersburg, Russia and he is one of the youngest artists record in Fluttery Records. Diademia is his debut; an album gaining its power from tender piano and synth melodies which merge with sharp digital sounds. Although it contains lots of noise and glitch elements, his sensitive melodies keep the album highly listenable among the other albums of its genre. “People are affected by many events, situations and feelings they can never explain. Diademia is the album for these state of mind.” says Anton.
EN PLEIN AIR
L'alba irradia l'inutile parola
FLTTRY002
Release Date: 01 February 2009
Violin and cello brings you to the ocean of nostalgia and melancholia, lovely guitar melodies are the dolphins swimming with you; but it doesn’t mean that you may face chaotic storms with guitars and drums gone crazy. It is En Plein Air from Rome, Italy we are talking about. Their music can find a place in the genre of post-rock but when you listen to them, you realize how their classical and jazz influences affect their music.
Their live performances both in their country and abroad are said to be pleasing. A magazine calls watching them live “smells like the wood of the ancient instruments projected into the future”. One more interesting detail: They are the first group in Europe to play live for virtual pub of the game 2nd Life.
REVIEW: Doremilla.org
[…] It is time now to listen to music. Just music and silence. L’alba irradia l’inutile parola is a painting board with four reddish stains. 23 minutes of high sound purely “nowords” decisely good. […] The music sings, the soul grows rich. An ambitious project, visionary and reflexive […]
REVIEW: LostHighways.it
Imagine the silence, the emptiness, the threadbare pages of the old poetry book .You have been forced to study at school, having nobody who taught you to love the beauty and the mistery. Imagine Eugenio Montale sitting in front of you, reading his best lyrics […] Imagine a new music invading the air and whispering to your soul. Six instruments, no voice. Listen to them.
A JOURNEY DOWN THE WELL
Sorry Monsters, I Have To Grow
FLTTRY001
Release Date: 07 January 2009
A Journey Down The Well are known for their unique style, using classical instruments to create a special sound which flirts with rock, ambient and experimentalism.
“Sorry Monsters, I Have To Grow” is their second station on their journey; the strings create a smoky and haunting downtempo ambience with the piano; lyrical songs wink poetry.
The band was also backed by the members of Strandvägen Choir in the recording process. “Working with a choir has made a powerful impact, I can’t imagine ‘Sugarman’ and ‘Sorry Monster, I Have To Grow’ without their parts” remarks cellist Martin Bjelfvenstam.
According to the band members the album is about brutal wars, oppression of personality and trying to grow as a human being while leaving all the unnecessary fears behind; “Despite the bombs, despite the guns, despite people building prisons for themselves and others.” Taner Torun adds.
According to Anna Erneman, their contemporary classical influences move one step ahead in this album. “We are inspired by many elements. The chilly sound of post-punk, eye openers like A Silver Mt. Zion and Godspeed You Black Emperor; Brian Eno and many others... But in this album our sound, with hints of contemporary classical composers like Arvo Pärt, Richard Einhorn and Henryk Gorecki, is dominant.”
Various artists like Anya Galkina and John Drescher took part in the artwork team to convey the intensity of the songs through the album arts.
