Sachiko-Kunado.


Not to be confused with Sachiko M, the Japanese former member of Ground Zero, and member of the Onkyo scene. Sachiko is a Japanese experimental musician who had formerly worked mainly with violin improvisation. The release Kunado is a dense exploration into ambient drone territory. It features disembodied vocals swimming amongst mile deep drones and passionate noise currents at times swirling through slight industrial processes. Sachiko was a member of both Kousokuya and Overhang Party. In these former projects she had fully developed an approach to monolithic minimalism to fairly staggering effect.

J. Spaceman and Matthew Shipp- Spaceshipp.


I have come to appreciate anything that Jason Pierce, aka J. Spaceman has touched. Formerly of Spacemen 3, and now of his solo project, Spiritualized, he does not fail to please. He also worked on the soundtrack for the Harmony Korine film Mister Lonely. Recently he did a collab with Matthew Shipp, an avant garde pianist. The collab perfectly titled Spaceshipp was realeased in late 2oo8 on the Treader label. It is a dense swirling mass of beautifully painted spaced out drone. Here it is:

Svarte Greiner-Knive.





Svarte
Greiner's debut release titled Knive. Svarte is better known to most as Erik Skodvin, one half of the brooding electronic project named Deaf Center. His music has been classified as "doom acoustic". The opening track on Knive wields sounds varying from swelling strings to crow caws to technical guitar plucks and taps in a beautiful electroacoustic manner. The rest of the album is an epic combination of the same elements and more to create a beautiful and tragic release. The sounds he generates are dark and intricate. His work has been compared to Machinefabriek among other well known experimental acts.
