Muhr is canadian Vincent Fugère, the man behind the influential Camomille netlabel
and also the record label Apegenine. Sadly, some months ago he made the decision of
focusing his efforts to other areas and the labels closed down. Muhr has released
albums on several notable netlabels including 12rec, Serein and Miasmah. The new
album carries the title “Farewell Anthology”, which might signal something
that could be interpreted as being the last Muhr album. But such artistic decisions
are often not final, conditions and life situations change, but the desire to
create music stays in you. Naturally, Muhr is warmly welcomed back any time.
The artists words: “This is an album about parting ways.
A soundtrack to many goodbyes I’ve had to commit to and an ode to
the tiny tragedies of life. As we all turn the page to a new chapter
of our lives, somethings need to stay behind.”
Not only a musician for approximately ten years now, Vincent Fugère a.k.a. "Muhr" was around when the whole Netaudio thing initially kicked off. As he reports in a recent interview for Phlow Magazine, microscopic social networks, chipmusic and a Babylonian mishmash of different file types where the primordial soup for the Netaudio scene to emerge from. Actually, Vince is the face behind the respectable Camomille Netlabel and Apegenine recordlabel. He released a whole bunch of EPs at hipster places like Zymogen, Serein, Miasmah and many more. We're happy to have Muhr joining the 12rec.-family for his most recent album "Anthèmes our les Regrets".
Equally influenced by various forms of electronica, film music, Folk and Postrock, Muhr is about organic Ambient music. Vince' compositions and improvisations fathom the space between synthesizer oscillation and guitar delay, they focus on background noise and the spatial hiss of his lo-fi recordings. "Our Tired Souls" and "Le Cycle est sans Retard" start the album with a good amount of melancholy drones, blending delicate feedback with field-recordings and substantial sketches of piano. For "Le Cycle est sans Remords", Muhr gets a bit closer to something you might call a song. As he's from Montreal, people will probably declare a Constellation-influence.
"Improvisation II" is a soothing 15-minutes meditation on unwound guitar and certain effect-treatments, reaching hands to the Stars of the Lid. After this break, "Mes Ruines, tes Ruines" and "Sonnete pour les Perdus" are booming and enthralling Ambient Noise before Muhr gently kicks our asses goodbye with the tiny Folk jewellery "Eschatology".
“Atmogat", a well known and respected electronic duo from Germany, after many EP releases, contributions on compilations and remixes for Tympanik audio and Hand productions, are ready to release their first full length album.” Trigger Event" reveals a world of intricate IDM/electronica experimentations, all with a futuristic approach that moves the electronic music standards a step further.
"Trigger Event" is coming early this December, enclosed in a beautiful Digipack CD designed by FKSD and featuring brilliant remixes by Access to Arasaka and NIKKA .
