Vincent Fugère’s Favorite Netaudio Moments in 2008

Bettina Rhymes — Thu, 25 Dec 2008 11:22:28 +0000

Advent Calendar Door 20 | 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.

Jaume Muntsant’s Favorite Netaudio Moments in 2008

Applejux — Wed, 24 Dec 2008 08:30:57 +0000

Advent Calendar Door 19 | Jaume Muntsant was the first catalan guy I met related to netaudio (a catalan is someone who lives in Catalunya, a small country in Spain). That was some years back in time, when he started publishing his minimal techno as Hermético on a homelabel named Doblec. Later he founded inoQuo.com with Sr.Click and Dato, which is, without any doubt, one of the BIG spanish netlabels. You should check it out now and then if you're into minimal beats. Jaume also started a netaudio blog called Oir Para Creer some years ago and releases experimental dark ambient music under his Nigul alias. You can also find some of his jobs under the nickname Choplin. As you see, this is another busy netaudio fellow to go in the pack.

Ian Hawgood’s Favorite Netaudio Moments in 2008

Bettina Rhymes — Tue, 23 Dec 2008 05:00:11 +0000

Advent Calendar Door 22 | There are certain names in Netaudio you stumble upon quite regularly. Think of Daniel Maze, d'incise, .at/on, or Jason Corder aka offthesky. In 2008, Ian (D.) Hawgood was unavoidable. The UK-born musician lives in Tokyo but travells the US and Europe as well. A busy man. Still, his musical outlet is impressive- check his website koenmusic.com for a full dicography or look him up at phlow magazine. 2009 will see the launch of his own record labels NKR and Home Normal. Hopes are high, Ianster!

Advent Calendar Door 17 | segue is Jordan Sauer from Vancouver, Canada, currently residing in Washington DC. His music is a patchwork of textures and tones with a focus on the interplay of timbre. These sounds are created through the blending of various instruments, found sounds and field recordings. Jordan has numerous releases on netlabels such as Autoplate (Thinner), Resting Bell, and his own duckbay.net. Being a lover of all music, his approach to music and sound is constantly evolving. Future projects include collaborations with Pleq, IJO, Ian (D.) Hawgood and many others; a full length cdr release will be out on Slow Flow Records sometime in 2009.

Yuki Yaki’s Favorite Netaudio Moments in 2008

Bettina Rhymes — Sun, 21 Dec 2008 05:45:32 +0000

Advent Calendar Door 16 | Yuki Yaki has been founded in 2005 a logical consequence of a radio show. The show as well as the label tries to provide a platform for artists and their work. It appeals to musicians, photographers and designers. As we do not believe in cataloguing music, it is very hard for us to put any limits here. Nevertheless we are mainly interested in music from the field of minimal techno, electronica or clicks'n'cuts. However, the focus is always on originality and acting on one's own initiative, so the question of style becomes secondary.

Catching The Waves Favorite Netaudio Moments 2008

Photo: Malene Thyssen

Advent Calendar Door 14 | CTW is responsible for the greasy, erratic and dubious blog entitled Catching The Waves, which, rather appropriately, is based in that greasy, erratic and dubious island known as the UK. He keeps resuscitating it, despite public opprobrium, in gratitude for all the great free music produced by the Creative Commons and netlabel community. Besides, it's cheaper than paying for the stuff. (He has staff to do that for him.) The netlabel scene has restored his enthusiasm for music and enabled him to explore strange, new genres; every day is Christmas Day for netlabel lovers. His blog specialises in recommending albums long after they've been reviewed and recommended by everyone else. CTW is yet to meet someone unpleasant from the CC world. He apologises on behalf of the United Kingdom for forcing the rest of the planet to learn English. He hates HTML and being photographed.

020200′s Favorite Netaudio Moments in 2008

mo. — Thu, 18 Dec 2008 05:30:06 +0000

Advent Calendar Door 12 | 020200 is passionate about music, art and the web. No wonder, that he shares a strong interest for netaudio. His first love was his own netlabel 2063music back in 1999 and meanwhile he submits parts of his work into the organisation of netmusic and creative commons events in Cologne. He writes also reviews for the Phlow-Magazine.com from time to time, if he is not too lazy, or better said: not to busy doing other things. He mainly writes for the German news-site gulli.com and maintains his own weblog at digitaltools.node3000.com.

"2008 was not the best year for netmusic in my opinion, but there were some very solid releases and I somehow have the feeling, that 2009 and 2010 the flower of netmusic will bloom again in a new beauty."

But she is an expert in Netaudio. Experimental Ambient and IDM, Hip Hop and Pop, this is Bettina's playground. You probably read one of her reviews.

d’incise’s Favorite Netaudio Moments 2008

Bettina Rhymes — Sat, 13 Dec 2008 05:02:43 +0000

Advent Calendar Door 7 | d'incise, born in 1983, is member of the Audioactivity, a music & visual collective founded in 2000 in Geneva (CH). In 2002 he starded to produce different kinds of electronic music, from dub to electronica, dangerously sliding to the more experimental ways of electroacoustic. His world is made with sound fractures, nevralgic crepitations, melancolic atmospheres and a non-dissimulated fascination for rust and faded rhythms.

After one self-produced cd in 2004, he started to release his music on various netlabels as Zymogen or Test Tube. Beside he pratice free improvisation, using laptop, live treatments and various objects & contacts mic, collaborating with few electronic or acoustic musicians..

Diatribes, open ensemble, close to freejazz, with Cyril Bondi and guests, is his main improvised project.

d'incise play also a solo live act, closer of electronica, where he operate fluctuations suites of rythmic pulsions, simple melodies and noise waves for a destroyed dancefloor.

He coordinate the Insubordinations netlabel, dedicate to improvised music, and collectively coordinate the Audioactivity netlabel.

Netaudio Surprise 2008

Well it's not really a surprise (at least I'd like to believe it) but the netaudio activists - as musicians, as netlabels manager, seems to extend more and more their actions out of the web, with festival, etc, I'm very glad of that.

David “sml” Domingo’s Favorite Netaudio Moments 2008

Applejux — Fri, 12 Dec 2008 14:21:52 +0000

Advent Calendar Door 6 | While trying to set the netaudio.es workteam we spread the word amongst friends mailing lists and social networks. David replied in just a few hours with an extensive mail, just after crossing some mountains nearby Russia. After reading the third line of we knew he was the guy. Having a look at his website will give you an idea of what i call intense activity... Heavily involved in organizing and producing lan parties and demoscene events around spain he talks about himself...

David quoting _sml! david:

"David 'sml' Domingo has been musician, dj, producer, visual jockey, designer and event organizer in the last years.
He's the co-director of netaudio.es and one of the main organizers of "netAudio Barcelona", the annual netaudio festival based in Barcelona (Spain).
His long background in the demoscene took him to the netaudio scene as a logical evolution and now tries to promote the local scene with activities and collaborations."

Brigitte — Tue, 09 Dec 2008 15:43:16 +0000

Advent Calendar Door 5 | Woooh! Gee!, 2008 was a hell of a year to make awesome discoveries from Japan to Chile, from Mexico to Italy. 2008 was the year for netlabelism and netaudio to break its shell to see some light. In Spain, Germany, Russia, Italy and of course England small and huge events took place.

Still the world of creative commons music is small, we are living in a niche. But during my talks to musicians, to radio broadcasters and people who listen to music, there was always one response: curiosity and enthusiastic reactions. So, one is for sure: free music is more and more becoming a true alternative to get attention, concerts and dj-gigs. So keep it up, and deliver me some more of those fantastic breaks, beats and grooves! Big shouts from Tokyo Underground, Brigitte.

Advent Calendar Door 2 | "2008 was an incredible year for me to digg deeper into the world of netlabelism. Our magazine opened its leaves like a flower and each month I discovered more incredible music from different places on earth. One highlight in spring was the licence-clearing of six netlabel-tracks for a design conference in Berlin called Typo Berlin. I got the chance to get some money and promotion for Pirata, Apes on Tapes, le mépris, Ambidextrous and Morkva, The Incognito Traveller and The Raincoated Man. Thumbs up!

Barcelona, London, Cologne...

In late summer and autumn than, two highlights appeared. First I visited Barcelona and the gentle people from Netaudio.es. Thank you for inviting me to Spain!

And in october I flew to Netaudio London with the crazy people from 12rec Netlabel. Yeah, I am talking about Sim Sullen and Sven Swift - our dedicated Netaudio lover. We enjoyed our deep trip into the jungle of London. Thank you, Andi, Chris, Dimitris, Hanna, Jon, Matt and Nina X for inviting us!

Last not least it was the music, which made me drift away and all those discoveries I made. And honestly: I listened to more excellent creative commons music than ever before. Thanks to you, the artists and netlabels. Thank you in the first place for an incredible Netaudio Year 2008! My charts reflect only a small part of the glamour, I was able to enjoy together with our readers!"

Daisuke Miyatani – “Fragments” EP (Creation Centre)

Bettina Rhymes — Fri, 15 Aug 2008 07:47:38 +0000

The Maestro of Accidental Folk is Back | Daisuke Miyatani lives on a small Japanese island, works in a bookshop and releases beautiful, erratic guitar-music all over the world. His records at MiMi, Rain Music, Magic Book and Ahornfelder dog me ever since I started listening to free music. What joy to see his most recent "Fragments" EP published at Creation Centre!

Gabriel Hernandez' Rain Music Netlabel is a good home for Daisuke Miyatani, but Creation Centre is no less. His loose and lo-fi Folk scribbling suit the ideals of Pop on the one hand and an approach of spontaneity and defectiveness and the other. It's a shame the EP is so damn short (just about 8 minutes) but following title and liner notes, it makes perfect sense at last:

"Daisuke's pieces are like trying to remember a dream after you wake up. Familar, but quickly fading into the noise of life. Quickly he is here to remind us of our dreams. to enjoy that we even have them to start with."

Miyatani's music is based around tiny loop-a-like melodies he improvises on his acoustic guitar. Certain field-recordings wash through his compositions, hiss and environmental noise are are important as moments of silence. Sometimes, found sounds work as percussion elements. What I like best about Miyatani is the impressive element calmness and self-absorption of his music. There are similar (Japanese) artists like Kozo Ikendo or Yuichiro Fujimoto, but Daisuke Miyatani is my favourite.

P.S.: Watch out for his new collaboration LP with 12k's Sawako on Schole Records!

Lokua – “Trails” (Moment Sound)

Brigitte — Tue, 22 Apr 2008 10:03:05 +0000

Smoking Chicago Downbeats | Joshua Keckner aka Lokua produces downbeats with crackling beats sprinkled with jazzy melodies and a laid-back mood. The Chicago native enjoys creating moody atmospheres from smiling tracks like "A Thousand Pages" to darker vibes like in "Crystal Ball" where haunting voices make you shiver a little bit.

Lokua - "Thousand Pages" (MP3)

Joshuas productions are best when he slows down the beats, so we can nod empathic. "Trails" comes along with jazz-influenced melodies and a diversity of styles ranging from instrumental Hip Hop to slighty Elektro-influenced tracks like "Trails".

Strong tracks like "A Thousand Pages", "Tai Chi" or "Crystal Ball" could be used as a colourful film score. These tracks are magnificent and carry their own mood. A release which makes me want to visit Chicago and its musiciansmakes me curious to see this city...
