7JK - Anthems Flesh

2012-03-29 (News)

7JK is a new project of SIEBEN (UK) and Job Karma (PL).
Mingling sounds of the violin and warm vocals permeate through electronic sounds teetering on the brink of industrial and psychedelic stuff.
Despite the fact that characteristic sounds of Sieben’s music and the ones of Job Karma’s are clearly audible on Anthems Flesh, the music here is something distinctively new. This Polish-English band takes those who are interested in on a very intensive journey – wandering between lands of beauty, melancholy, aggression and softness. To be short – simply great songs, richness of emotions and incredible meeting of two diverse mentalities. A must-listen one not only for the fans of the genre.

The Flux Komplex - The Voice of A Lost Spirit

2012-03-28 (News)

The Flux Komplex was started around March 2003 as a unity with Karsten Hamre as the only permanent member, but with the intention of having it as a unity for collaborations with other artists, artists that would come and go as seen fit.
The first collaboration undertaken was with Ioan Barladeanu a.k.a. Cycler. This started as Ioan and Karsten were asked to participate at Periferic 6 – Prophetic Corners (the biennial for contemporary art in Iasi, Romania). The organizers approached Ioan and Karsten to participate with music for an art installation called "SHOP", a project by the Scandinavian art group N55 (www.n55.dk).
"The Voice of A Lost Spirit" is the second offering from THE FLUX KOMPLEX, and this time Karsten Hamre has worked together with Lucian Olteanu (Tronul Ascuns, Wide Open Wings, and Museum Of Transient Lights), which has made the project head in a more ambiental direction.
The Flux Complex has underwent an ultimate metamorphosis and is currently focused on composing completely dissimilar genre of music. From the project which created electro beats, a new enigmatic creation which constructs gloomy ambient collages has emerged.

Zenial – Connection Reset by Peer

2012-03-25 (News)

It's Zenial's first album in 6 years, and it shows his creativity in the context of live activity. It does not mean that 'Connection Reset by Peer' is a live album as such. Yes, the source material for the record was recorded live during sonic experiments and creating sound installations over the past few years. The album is not a compilation though-it's a well-weighed entity, thematically and sonically coherent. 'Connection Reset by Peer' is a result of interferences of environment sounds based to a large extent on electricity, radio feedback, electromagnetic field sounds emitted by current generators and elements of the so-called field recordings.
