Description: A momentous occasion in the Champion Version catalogue, ‘Anterne’ contains a new two-track selection of works from Parisian duo Germain Fraïssé and Guillaume Evrard, collectively known as GNG, who layer delicate strands of ambient guitar, one upon another with heavily edited instrumentation and found sounds. For the first track ‘Anterne Partie 1’, Fraïssé and Evrard wander through shimmering guitar arpeggios and cinematic reverse leads, all building up to a beautiful and intensely resonant piece of unhurried and measured post-rock. The melodies here are lavish, deliberate and gorgeous. The subtly panoramic ‘Anterne Partie 2’ comes next with guitars strung tightly together in the most beautiful fashion, while microscopic, crackling gestures lay out a backdrop of spatially enriched static. A truly excellent record. Super.

Description: Part 3 and 4 of the ‘I Always Wanted A Standing Cat’ 7” gathering sees Steve Roden and Stephen Vitiello drawing on their influences, adapting and reacting to one another to create a very expressive style of experimental composition blushing with gorgeous atmospherics and gentle rhythms. The set is made up of four wonderful movements that feel as if they’re on the brink of total collapse. Part 3 includes ‘All The Greens’ and ‘Young Tongue’, two pieces that are languorous, quite unsettling and incredibly beautiful and fragile. Spellbinding work. The introspective and intimate flourishes of ‘Swallow Tails’ open part 4 before the set concludes with the sublime elegance of ‘In Wind Of Chestnut’. An immensely personal group of tracks from this attuned duo. Sleepy, slow shifting, stunning.

Title: Melodrama

Vinyl: Sold Out

Digital: Listen/Buy

Description: Measured, meticulous recordings on this beautiful new work from Machinefabriek. A gentle yet disconcerting 7” featuring two deeply emotive, rigorously focused and intensive compositions. Stunning as usual.

Background: “Champion Version said ‘Up for a new 7” Rutger?’ A question like that is always a nice reminder for something I really like... to focus on a short amount of music. It’s a bit like writing a short story instead of a book. There’s still something of the “album feel” in there; two tracks that are closely related, both part of the same story. But there’s not the issue of having to deal with the arc or dynamics of a complete full length record. In a way, this gives me the freedom to be more explorative and playful, like you could probably hear in my previous Champion Version 7”, ‘Snoepgoed’, and in this new one ‘Melodrama’. These tracks started by recording an online drum machine with a dodgy 4-track, then playing that back through a few effects pedals and looping bits of it. The resulting rhythm is the foundation of ‘Melodrama 1’, on which I started to arrange midi instruments onto, very intuitively. What started as something with a sort of lo-fi Autechre feel, to me anyway, became something completely different. Quite cinematic, and perhaps a bit… melodramatic? Well, I guess sometimes that’s how I like it.” - Rutger Zuydervelt

Title: No Sails

Vinyl: Sold Out

Digital: Listen/Buy

Description: Exploring a more relaxed, ambient and fragile aesthetic, we have the concluding 7” of this Rothko opus which starts with ‘No Sails’, an acoustic rendering into thoughtful and cinematic soundscapes. Submerge and lose yourself to the depths. The final side of this epic journey starts with the shivering whispers of ‘Into Sunlight’ where emotive bass drones create a sense of restraint, simplicity and pure calm. The lingering reverb drenched bass drifts of ‘Step Into Sunset’ settle proceedings perfectly, balanced and allowed to breathe, exquisite in its simplest form, nothing here is hurried, you hear incidents rise and fall gloriously, sounds arrive and slowly dissolve. Heavenly. Just heavenly.

天眼加速器和express“Most of the tracks on ‘No Anchor No Chart No Rudder No Sails’ are my very first attempts at writing my own music. A lot of the other early tracks appeared on ‘A Negative For Francis’ and a couple surfaced on ‘Forty Years To Find A Voice’. The majority of them are on this collection which I originally put out on a few cassette releases and three of which I put out before the band was even formed. At the time I didn’t actually have a name for the band. That came later after I met Crawford Blair. It was my good friend Nick Olofsson who suggested I try and record my own material as I had actually decided to give up trying to join a band. So he said, “Why not do your own thing?”.

Description: The muted, grainy fragments of ‘No Chart’ open the second Rothko 7” in this series. A gorgeous and delicate introduction that evolves into a detuned and suffocating minimalism. And that feeling continues with ‘Shadowless’ with its subdued rhythms and distorted textures. Magnificent work. ‘For Vini’ is incredibly evocative with the softest massed strings sparingly plucked. It blends seamlessly into the granular and lyrical fretless bass of ‘Abstract’, a brooding and deliberately slow movement. The results here are a highlight. Just extraordinary music.

Description: The first 7” in this classic Rothko anthology features the melancholy and moving stretches of ‘No Anchor’ with its fleeting samples expertly weaved between the sparse layers of bass while ‘Extract’ reveals a gentle, hypnotic improvisation that tinkles and disappears before it’s really gotten underway. Astonishing. The simmering ‘Through Corridors’ is next, a faint progression that builds up slight sound statements gradually, eluding grand gestures in favour of something more understated and engaging. All compressed and squashed to destructive imperfection, ‘Spine’ gives a disconcerting ending with gnarly tones and murmurs of vinyl static. A fantastic first instalment.

For ‘A New Glow/Simple Interference’ Vitiello is joined by the supremely talented percussionist, Justin Alexander. The record's opening piece, ‘A New Glow’, settles into a hypnotic repetition, furnishing a harmonically deep shimmer under which Alexander puts together some beautifully crisp drum work. The second side contains ‘Simple Interference’, a slow-burning movement where Vitiello’s distant yet pivotal electronics and hushed experiments are expertly blended with Alexander’s perfectly timed, tumbling and understated drum tempos. Excellent, tightly focused instrumentals and expansive atmospherics.

This track then segues into ‘Surrounded By Mountains’, an introverted collection of loops with a layering of scant notes that build and build upon each other before slowly fading away into the heavens.

天眼加速器appThe debut by underground percussionist Matt Pittori, under his My Winter Defence guise, ‘Laptev's Dance’ sees Matt emerging from beneath the wreckage of Minus Pilots to investigate a darker, more electronic sonic theme. During a recent concert in his home city of London, Matt revealed a confident foray into quiet, fragile and harmonic material while fusing dynamic and percussive elements. Sharing the title of the overall release is opener, ‘Laptev’s Dance’; it’s dense, prickly atmospherics are dark with treated effects and fleeting sections of melody rising up throughout. Bold contemplations are shrouded in hazy analogue synth washes, decaying beats and spectral reverbs. Very good. ‘Punctured Northern Skies’ is next and features panoramic pulse elements with deep, dark bass drones. It’s filled with epic, wistful tones, otherworldly and elaborate experiments of disconnected fragments and textures. Two sublime soundtrack pieces and a real work of art, you know what must be done.

There’s an underlying beauty and sensitive pull steering your ears through the current of overtones and tuneful sound experiments.

天眼加速器官网下载A heavy and intense mantra about Mediterranean profane ritualism. Blending obsessive rhythms and haunting percussion, tribal dance, heavy kicks, lo-fi buzzing, spoken word hypnosis, primordial energy and evocative vocals with thick drones, field recordings, pulsing feedback and massively distorted guitars, ‘Madrighe’ is the first work in a series dedicated to ancient themes from Sardinia Island, IlSantoBevitore’s native home.

Background: Continuing his research delving into ethnomusicological territories, ‘Madrighe’ is dedicated to ‘Berbos’, ancestral Sardinian prayers. Barbos are words, they are not normal words but rather magic formulas which have the power to cure people from evil as well as to cause it. Each track intends to recreate those fascinating pagan practices, translating them into modern musical codes. Madrighe is an ancient word which in Sardinian language means Matrice (Matrix). Four tracks linked together under the same Madrighe of spiritualism and ritualism of the mysterious Sardinia Island. A sense of archaism within a post-modern flavour embraces the entire record. Raw, yet sophisticated, Madrighe delves into the past and present at the same time. The most collaborative work so far, featuring London-based producer NoMoreWillRoam, multi-instrumentalist Davide Chessa on guitar feedback and screaming, vocal samples from Lani Rocillo and synths, hardware, percussions, tapes and field recordings by IlSantoBevitore.

The source material was recorded by Andrew Ostler with guest bassist Jordan Muscatello during the Champion Version Edition 1 live event, which was held Thursday, 12 October 2017 in London. These initial recordings were then reconstructed, edited and mixed by Darkroom members Andrew Ostler and Michael Bearpark with suggestions from Elif Yalvaç whose voice recordings are featured between February and June 2018. Restrained and elegant, the stature of Darkroom’s innate talent emerges in their treatment of the original recordings focussing and polishing them into extraordinary clear and new forms. Faint sound experiments extend into dream-like figments, while intricate manipulations build, resonate and disperse. More abstract than much of their previous catalogue with echoes of tape minimalist compositions and cinematic sound art, ‘Paradise Yard’ is a remarkably enduring piece of work. Incredible indeed.

天眼加速器官网下载 Sold Out

天眼加速器安卓下载 天眼加速器安卓下载

Description: An enthralling suite of music composed and performed by Yann Novak. These two recordings contain some truly exquisite sound organisation by Novak who is regarded equally for his concepts and his music. ‘Performances Of Masculinity’ features a fascinating, fundamental blend of harmonic and discordant forces. Two beautiful renderings and some of the most absorbing recordings in Novak’s catalogue. Reserved but quietly optimistic. Gorgeous and essential.

Background: For this pair of tracks Novak drew inspiration from his upbringing in the Midwestern US, minutes from rural farmland, as a queer youth. ‘Performances Of Masculinity’ ruminates on toxic masculinity, its influence on human development and its broader presence in experimental music communities. ‘Crushing Vulnerability’ opens with a delicate drone that is slowly decimated by distortion and noise, mirroring a relationship to masculinity in which vulnerability is treated as a weakness in need of eradication. ‘Stifling Sensitivity’ follows with a dense, emotional drone that is slowly eroded until barely anything is left, reflecting masculinity’s doctrine of never revealing emotions. Sonically, both works reference noise and other aggressive forms of experimental music (or as close as Novak is able to get) with the intention of bringing awareness toward those spaces that still foster and sometimes celebrate toxic masculinity. The cover features a photo by longtime friend and collaborator Steven Miller.

For ‘Eraser Lazer’, Dollemore instills the feeling of icy stasis wandering through delicate guitar arpeggios and cinematic reverb leads, all building to a stunning resonant piece of measured post-rock. Next is the understated ‘Earth And Green’ where guitars drift freely together in the most wonderful fashion. You’ll find yourself being incapacitated by its all-enveloping slowness. Spatially enriched, otherworldly and thoroughly shrouded drone, ‘Melting Colours’ is one of Adrian Dollemore's most accomplished works to date. Just excellent.

The Oneirologist as a name is entirely appropriate and actually perfectly corresponds with the incredible music Jensen has created for this record. Being a contemporary of the free jazz scene in London, you know you can expect music of the highest order from Jenson. We appreciate that free jazz can divide some listeners, but Jensen’s work on ‘Every Little Bit Of Space’ has the capacity to sway the uninitiated, it manages to be absorbing without being trying, a major achievement in itself.

Profoundly unsettling and mesmerising, ‘Bias’ is free of any overextended intricacies with Stone conversing the most vital modern, minimalist music. He unfolds a delicate sound that develops with quiet melodic dexterity into something quite magnificent. An integral listen, ‘Bias’ really is a delight. Stunning.

Description: Transcendent, thick and looped ambient layering from Andrew Cooke and his excellent SALTINGS moniker. Cooke assembles a moving sound world fashioned from samples of dense drone layered with substantially manipulated field recordings. Over both sides, the results provide a broad sense of space and place with its declining harmonic structures and shimmering, sparse melodies reduced in an abstract impressionist fashion. Sprawling, epic and vast in scale, you have one week.

Description: Adrena Adrena is a collaboration between visual artist Daisy Dickinson and Japanese drummer E-Da Kazuhisa. Featuring a striking blend of electronica and progressive percussion welded into resonant shimmers, Adrena Adrena’s first release for Champion Version is titled ‘Cybals/Toy’. Over two sides we are immersed in the echoing glisten of Kazuhisa’s ceremonial practice, revealing a wonderful relationship between space, minimalism and texture. The A side establishes a determined trajectory, first demonstrating its vast parameters with bright harmonics that move supremely into a mix of pulsating and rolling percussion. The second side is focussed on the development of soft metallic pipe samples that are underpinned by slow and brooding drum loops creating a swirl of otherworldly atmospherics. In addition to the 7”, ‘Cybals/Toy’ comes with an accompanying book featuring striking photographs by Dickinson. The 28 page book is landscape orientation with final 21cm x 14.8cm dimensions printed onto 100% recycled, 115gsm white paper. Music and imagery to submerge.

比特加速安卓 Paper Universe/The Anthropocene

Vinyl: Sold Out

Digital: Listen/Buy

Description: Magnificent blissed out explorations from London’s The Untied Knot. The 7”s A side, ‘Paper Universe’, is a wonderful opener with evocative strangled guitar experiments sounding as if they are trying hard to work their way out of the loping bass melodies and glorious drum rhythms that are channelling from speaker to speaker. Toward the end of the track, the instruments all fall back and everything drops to a minimalist and twinkling backing. Just delightful. ‘The Anthropocene’ picks up where ‘Paper Universe’ left off filling the space with restrained airy atmospherics and loose improvising on the drums. The track builds superbly with a popping, insistent bassline and captivating drum patterns that are tightly locked together with barely perceptible electronic dashes that add further dimension. Fabulous production, beautiful arrangements and harmonies with moments of pure genius, the music on this 7'“ will have you flipping between sides incessantly. Much obliged.

Description: An arresting offering, this new release on Champion Version features a sublime collection of post-classical and post-jazz infused gestures by experimental duo Minus Pilots. With Matt Pittori on drums and percussion joining Adam Barringer on extended range electric bass duties, Minus Pilots shelve genre distinctions with a completely captivating suite of illuminating structures for their ‘Seeking The Spheres’ 10”. The result is a poignant, at times dreamlike, and often impulsive melding of dynamisms conceivably best described in terms of it’s stunning colours, volume changes and progressive individuality. The two proceed to unite, develop and dissolve across five pieces with beautifully natural subtleties and uncompromising crescendos. Spectacular and captivating to say the very least.

天眼加速器app Modern-classical genius øjeRum presents ‘Vindens Segl’, his first 10” offering with Champion Version. ‘Vindens’ is a minimalist swell of solo guitar keys shrouded in shimmering strings, sounding out a blissfully suppressed and wistful atmosphere while ‘Segl’ is more stable harmonically with melodic bells and thumb piano pieces improvised over constant bowed string lines. From time to time this continual pulse is heightened and transformed through alternating patterns on the bells resulting in a beautiful calm. A highly contemplative release, this is absolutely recommended.

Description: On his enthralling second release with Champion Version, London’s Thomas Stone focuses his attention evenly between an entirely instrumental palette of contrabassoon, samplers, loop pedals and activated percussion to create the all-encompassing, often blissful, quiet and mystical ‘Factors’. Relying on his meticulous feel for expressing resonant overtones, ‘Factors A’ is a deeply sombre, melancholic piece that's precisely focussed and wonderfully executed. Really magnificent work. Then comes the harmonic sculptures of ‘Factors B+C’, a majestic and glacially tense passage that quietly illuminates the blurred limits between acoustic and electronic practices. This track will completely engulf your senses. We are utterly blown away by this incredible record. One absolutely not to miss so be quick.

Title: Fight Score

Vinyl: Sold Out

Digital: Listen/Buy

Description: Stirring up a sea of texture, ‘Fight Score’ is intensely focussed, powerful and concentrated. The music here has a claustrophobic feel, at times reminiscent of a John Carpenter soundtrack for all its otherworldly complexities. This new 10” illustrates just how masterful Machinefabriek is these days. Cinematic drones and glacial structures.

Background: “Memo Akten (as part of Marshmallow Laser Feast) and Rutger Zuydervelt worked together before, for Alexander Whitley’s dance performance ‘The Measures Taken’. But this time, dancers aren’t doing the moving, but the viewer is. FIGHT is a virtual reality experience that’s equally hypnotizing and disorientating. Memo Akten’s virtual reality artwork FIGHT premiered at the art/technology biënnale STRP (Eindhoven, March 2017), and was also shown at Sónar. Wearing an Oculus Rift headset, the viewer enters an abstract, exceedingly psychedelic 3D world. The video shows different patterns and colours to each eye, causing ‘binocular rivalry’, an effect in which the brain makes its own fluctuating mix of the images. With the driving music by Rutger Zuydervelt (Machinefabriek), FIGHT is an incredibly immersive experience. In the virtual reality version, the music is spatialized, reactive to the movements of the viewer. The Champion Version released soundtrack EP presents the music as a mixed stereo version. The second track on this EP is the soundscape that played in the room in which the installation was exhibited.” - Rutger Zuydervelt

Vinyl: Sold Out

Description: Orphax is Amsterdam based musician and trained drummer Sietse van Erve’s musical project where the focus is firmly set on minimal ambient and drone. This is Orphax’s debut release with Champion Version having previously released material through Barreuh, Broken20, Silken Tofu, Striate Cortex, Suggestion and his own Moving Furniture label. ‘Studies In Dissonanc’ is beautifully distilled, arresting in its restraint and ease yet intensely resonant in its complexity. Beautiful music.

免费网络加速器安卓 “Studies in dissonance is a release with two tracks in which I try to play with sounds from one sound source and search for a dissonant sound which (to me) still sounds very pleasant to listen to. This is partly the joy of experiment, but partly also a protest towards the sweet, nice, lovely and way to clean ambient drones which are wiped from any tension we have been brought by so many other musicians the last 10 to 15 years. Of course not much wrong with this clean music, but let's all be honest some dissonance in our life so once in a while does lighten up the fire again. Let's celebrate the out-of-tune music and welcome back mistakes in music.” - Sietse van Erve
