The Descendant is based on a reworking of material created during Johann Wlight's residency at Dunwich Beach in 2004. Philip Julian of Cheapmachines was given exclusive access to the dream diaries and study material of Wlight in order to build an estimation of the missing part of The Oneironautic Recrudescence. Though Wlight and Julian were engaged in sporadic postal correspondence before Wlight's disappearance in 2004, the bulk of the original documents and manuscripts came from the Centre for Narco-Acoustic Research in London.
The linguistic and metaphysical translation of Wlight's texts was completed by Professor Warren Rice in Spring 2007 at the CNAR. Julian's interpretive audio work on the missing section began at the CNAR in-house recording facility some weeks later employing various esoteric recording devices, some built by Julian from circuit diagrams and working notes compiled by Wlight, some built by Wlight and recovered from Dunwich Beach. Due to the nature of some of these recording techniques and the extreme frequencies prominent throughout the original recordings, the CNAR were forced to move Julian into their Miskatronic studios beneath Hackney Marshes. These sessions progressed slowly as certain recording environments could be performed at only specific lunar dates corresponding to Wlight's notes. Julian was often forced to work through to the early hours, hampered by Wlight's lunar-powered devices, and able to complete only a few minutes of satisfactory recording at a time. The Descendant was completed at the CNAR during the partial eclipse of the Galilean moons 23-24 November 2007.
Previous spectrograph interpretations of the The Oneironautic Recrudescence have revealed the presence of various EVP/ITC communication phenomena, particular in the later sections recorded by Wlight on Dunwich Beach. These trace recordings are believed to be evidence of Wlight's initial transmissions using a combination of Frank Drake and John Dee's communication algorithms.
The Descendant is acompanied by an adapted text from diplomat and pioneering cryptographer, Blaise de Vigénère. Traité des chiffres is believed to be the last text Wlight was studying before his disappearance on Dunwich Beach. The heavily annotated copy attributed to Wlight also rests in the CNAR archive and is currently being prepared by Professor Rice as Volume IV of Wlight's Oeuvres Completes, due for publication by the English Heretic Research Group in summer 2008.

Its time for Delayscape's second EP on musicartistry! From the 4/4 melodic electro of opener "Morse Disco" to the melancholy bleep fest of "Final Night at the Radio", the new EP betrays Delayscape's love for analogue electro, synth pop and acid. Among the inspirations for this one are steady doses of Legowelt, 303s and all-time hero Solvent, as always filtered through Delayscape's ear for melody and space. Like he says: music for dancing at home.
you ain't heard nothing yet! bit pop teenage guru super multifaros (illphabetik, signorafranca, megatwerp, alces2 and candymind) was here and dropped dropped us four sonic bombs. these chip tunes will make you dance like crazy - get ready to take off!
carfil was involved in the swiss techno scene back in the ninetees but later drifted into cyberspace to discover and participate in the bit pop and chip tune scene. like no other he puts the funk in gameboy, yielding in hypnotic music which is without rivalry. microhouse meets elektro meets ambient meets vgm. so far he has released on mp3death, n.a.h.c., gameboymall, gainlad, proc-rec and abulia.
Arguably one of the highlights of 2007's Sonic Circuits festival was a rather amazing set by Sweden's Moljebka Pvlse, primarily the work of one Mathias Josefson but joined live by Karin Jacobson. Both the standout live track and a studio version are included, and both are based around what sounds like a harmonium drone (my memory as to the sound sources is a little rusty at this point and unfortunately there are no liner notes here) that's gradually overtaken by a shuffling, creaking sound field and an increasingly ominous rumbling drone, with the odd disembodied voice or identifiable instrumental passage occasionally coming into focus. This is carefully constructed and well thought out beyond the usual "build up, drone for awhile, fade out" blueprint and will, as they say, reward repeated listening. Two shorter studio recordings feature somewhat more prominent field recordings and elusive bits of conversation layered on top of almost spectral drones. Fans of Mirror, Ora, Jonathan Coleclough, and the like should enjoy these two pieces in particular. If for no other reason, though, seek this out for those longer pieces, some of the finer drone moments of the year. zerom03. mp3+cover. 2007. $5.00.
The inaugural round of the barryvan compo is now open. What is the barryvan compo? It's a is a six-yearly competition in which artists compete to produce a piece based on a given "inspiration". Contestants can enter songs in MP3, OGG, or WMA formats. You've got until February 1st to write a piece of music based on the inspiration that's on the front page.
Inspired by crappy sci-fi movies and everything coin-op, Videogame Orchestra’s Slot Machine EP release is a collection of bleepy/chippy techno tracks, carefully crafted with the serious nerd in mind. Rhythmic electronics combine with arcade-like playfulness, incorporating dance elements wrapped in a digital environment filled with game samples.
Noerror is a project born in early 2000. Its first purpose was to relate some of the most famous demoscene music releases, it extended to all the active demoscene netlabels and finally all the netlabels, no disctinction. Just talent and beautiful music is now the word.
Originally created by moonove and knos.
8 years, the same team, the same point of view and the same passion.
