net.label Frozen Elephants Music - "The Map is Not the Territory" (2k5) / minimal, glitch, electroacustica

This post is launching a space dedicated to the reporting of some good indie / scene net.label glitch / electro-acoustic. Inizio con il segnalare una raccolta various artists del 2005: "The Map is not the Territory", dell'allora neonata 'Frozen Elephants Music', net label tedesca molto interessante, che raccoglie musicmakers di varie nazionalità. Dal sito:

"FROZEN ELEPHANTS MUSIC is a non-profit collection of audio works focusing on new and dedicated approaches of electronic composition, improvisation and listening experiences, featuring an internatonal range of artists. Frozen Elephants Music is an online platform for the presentation and diffusion of these works, also hosting a concert series. We think, musical experimentation,
analog and/or digital, is they way to explore future paths of music and sound making. We are also interested in closing the gap between electronic music and electroacoustic composition, since their production techniques are becoming more and more approximate to each other".

Dalla presentazione di "The Map is not the Territory" sul sito FEM:

"By the end of 2005 free electronic music on the Internet has reached a peak point of abstraction and metaphor, presenting a remarkable range of open sound archives led by Artist-identities barely visible, gigabytes of fragmentary ideas and sketches, spliced, compiled and assembled into works of strange beauty. the territory of creative potential is nearly impossible to mark, neither to define and picture considering the number of artists and concepts. The first compilation by frozenelephantsmusic.com therefore aims to simply start an ongoing presentation of compositions from this wide field, presenting individual artist personalities and their work, considering the artistic process and its manifestation.For "The Map is not the Territory" F.E.M. gathered 11 pieces by artists from the UK, France, Sweden, Ireland, Germany, USA and Japan. The collection includes minimal, computer-based aesthetics, sensitive undulations of sound, natural reverberations, organic structures and fragile sonic architecture. To hear is not to listen".

Rilasciato sulla Rete nel dicembre 2005, "The Map is not the Territory" rappresenta quindi l'esordio di 'Frozen Elephants Music', tracciando in qualche modo un possibile "manifesto" per le future releases and as a type of approach to composition. FE001 is a collection that investigates the dimensions of the soundscape, so introspective, with very deep inroads into environmental sounds: dripping, hissing sounds of rain and nature are being tested the ability of the audible sound clips, and dilated plan "Exploit" on a guitar in classical style electro-glitch. And it is the glitch in the composition of textures and, finally, found the mail in search of the noise, clicks of extemporaneous improvisation on the instrument, into the openings of environmental pads, in endless drones that make up the carpet weaving effects and noises. A collection to be reported then, that on the one hand, probably does not add much to the experimental glitch / noise, manifested by another interesting sound solutions in key absolutely minimal, in which redundancy and harmonic richness replacing the search for the minimum . The steps, in my opinion, the best in the collection are the sounds of acoustic string instruments "Flotsam and Jetsam" (Jodi Cave), alienating the rest of the minimal sequence of clicks and cuts on piano of "Teas" (Fromage), the distant reverberations and the uninterrupted flow of the composition of Eric Bollam in "001", the work and minimal spectral Moritz Fehr in "Dead Space", which in 4 minutes and 30 seconds makes a dizzying descent into the glitch and electroacoustic experimentation obscure and alienating, opening up the excellent environmental Prautzsch Peter (the song is "Hello"), carried out on a single note long overlaps between different instruments. To download, waiting for a boring rainy day, set the drops flying the window sill to slide over the crossing and listen in deep meditation)
