That country's political climate, coupled with the developing global pandemic (not to mention economic considerations), meant that he was unable to be with his family during this abyssal moment of loss.  Monte Espina's standing weekly rehearsal (or \"training\" as the duo refer to it) fell on the 21st, but rather than cancel it in mourning, they decided to go ahead\u003cspan class=\"bcTruncateMore\"\u003e and play (and record).  It turned out to be a fruitful session.  As Montiel states: \"It was the first creative act I committed in a world where my father no longer was.

I translated it roughly into English when I was first learning German. That last line, 'like heavy honey from the hollow comb' ('wie schwerer Honig aus den hohlen Waben') has haunted me for over twenty years. Just one of those things that hits you in the gut.

On stage, his freeform, improvised sets combine chance practices and new skillz in a deep, essentially duo-like dialogue with the tightly-wound material as continually re-examined from different angles. Using a custom-made kit composed of cast-off relics of the Tape Age (foremost among them his trusty modified Fostex analogue multi-tracker) and surrounded by piles of said cassettes, he assembles complex abstract emotive tone poems on the fly, one re-contextualised fragment at a time, drawing from the formative inspirations of radical scratch culture, Cagean thought, Ornette's harmolodics, musique concrete, and various other strains of free music practice. Over the past decade, his work has also expanded to include various hybrid approaches to location recording, augmented reality, composition, and audio narrative.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe material heard on \"Ballad of the External Life\" has frequently undergone many multiple stages of increasing abstraction during the composition process. For instance, a fragmentary passage may consist in part of a field recording that became the object of home dubbing experimentation, a recording of which was then used in an ad hoc installation in nature along with other materials, the results of which were then dubbed onto tape again and taken up in the exigency of the moment on stage as material to be further abstracted or re-examined through tape \"scratching\" and manipulation, before finally being incorporated as one element in a complex audio assemblage. Rrill Bell likens this approach to a composting process, or a tilling and re-tilling, a continuous re-embedding of times and spaces within other times and spaces, until the combined layers form a sort of existential chorus, a vivid sound morphology of living memory. It is also worth noting that the music of Rrill Bell often exhibits a preoccupation with melodic lines and novel techniques for generating them that is fairly uncommon in free improvised electronic music today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRrill Bell's work has previously been released by the Gertrude Tapes, Weird Forest, and Denovali labels, among others.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"credits-label\"\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"tralbumData tralbum-credits\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Elevator Bath","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49886472339771,"sku":"LP-EB-054","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0916\/7831\/0715\/files\/bell-LP.jpg?v=1736533533"},{"product_id":"bob-bellerue-music-of-liberation-lp","title":"Bob Bellerue - Music of Liberation LP","description":"\u003cp\u003eBob Bellerue's new double-LP, \"Music of Liberation,\" is a careful and intricate album of textured drone and shapely noise.

Welcome to the highly individual sonic world of Rick Reed. For more than 30 years now Reed has been toiling away, composing, performing, and fine-tuning his craft of very personal and powerful electronic experimentation. And his expertise is plainly evident. His is incredibly engaging music with an almost physical presence.

Yes, the evolution of technique is on display here, but Reed found his voice some years ago and his stylistic development has therefore been suitably subtle and deliberate.

Over a period of time that has seen him collaborating with the sonic arts communities of Japan, Central Europe and several distinct regions of the United States, he has developed an unorthodox style not beholden to any single popular or ‘avant garde’ genre: his embrace of the whole sonic spectrum has, in recent years, resulted in a high-intensity form that cohesively joins bracing noise and sidereal ephemera to seductive silences.\n\nTBWB’s debut for Elevator Bath, \"La Production Interdite,\" carries on a tradition of albums themed around under-reported ‘threshold’ states of consciousness. Following on the heels of the previous year’s \"A Desperate Expediency\" - an ‘enhanced interrogation’-themed\nalbum on Brazil’s Seminal Records - \"La Production Interdite\" takes its inspiration from the phenomenon of autoscopy, i.e. the visualization of doppelgängers or phantom doubles. Split into a purely instrumental half-hour side and a vocally-enhanced side in which TBWB narrates accounts of autoscopic events, this new album oscillates between moments of narcotic consolation and moments of sharp poignancy in an attempt to present the many different emotive 'faces' of autoscopic phenomena. A full complement of analog and digital tools, including the famous Buchla modular system at Stockholm’s EMS studios, are brought into play in order to make this a thoroughly compelling listen. Ambience and anti-ambience symbolically vie for dominance throughout, in the same way as one might struggle to determine whether their ‚primary’ self or their autoscopic double is the 'real' source of their consciousness.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Elevator Bath","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50046958666043,"sku":"CS-EB-049","price":8.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0916\/7831\/0715\/files\/a3659780281_10_9259f339-b60f-4d88-a8ee-12b1a681c42b.jpg?v=1740250243"},{"product_id":"alex-keller-sleep-room-cd","title":"Alex Keller - Sleep Room CD","description":"\u003cp\u003eElevator Bath is elated to announce \"Sleep room\", the electrifying new album from Alex Keller. This marks Keller's return to the label following his exquisite collaborative LP with Sean O'Neill and top-notch mastering work for releases by Adam Pacione and Thomas Bey William Bailey. His first solo album in nearly a decade (since 2015's ingenious \"Black out\"), \"Sleep room\" is a work of singular magnetism and well worth the wait.\n\nSources for these recordings include decommissioned computer server, vintage ECG POTS, modem\/network router, non-functioning laptop, UV light insect trap, LED lights, power supplies, urban bus, commuter trains, homemade electromagnetic oscillators, stun gun, homemade Jacob's ladder, and vintage vacuum cleaner. All pieces (excluding the title track) are based on real-time studio improvisations, made with multiple homemade electromagnetic transducers often attached to gloves, as well as commercial electromagnetic microphones.\nThis uniquely peculiar array of both instrumentation and technique is nothing if not fascinating, and as a final product, \"Sleep room\" easily lives up to this intrigue. Though the album is utterly distinctive in its methodology, it is first and foremost a meticulously rendered, expertly produced collection of abstract sound art. Jolts of static and bursts of white noise collide with buzzing tones and distant drones; throbbing electrical pulses join with natural resonances and vibrations, fully utilizing the stereo field and frequency spectra. The album is also a highly individual statement with every facet of its creation bearing Keller's stamp: instrument building, recording, mixing, mastering, as well as cover art and photography were all performed by the artist. In other words, \"Sleep room\" simply resembles no one else's work. This album is the culmination of Keller's uncompromising creative integrity wedded to a total commitment to process. The results speak for themselves. Among so much rather pedestrian material which passes for experimental music in recent years, \"Sleep room\" stands out and stands tall as a challenging and sophisticated work, as satisfying as it is anomalous.\n\nHeadphones are not required though listeners will find them rewarding.\n\nNote: The title “Sleep room”, as well as those of the album's individual pieces, refers to debilitating experiments that were performed involuntarily on people with mental illness as part of the CIA’s Project MKUltra, some of which included exposure to electromagnetic signals.

Each of Anderson's primary concerns is represented fully in this new collection. Mangled tapes, unidentifiable instruments, electronic wizardry, and wide-ranging found sounds \/ field recordings join forces here to create a kind of audio journal of paranormal phenomena.\n\nThe various components utilized for \"Vagrancies\" (explicated in the album's liner notes) may seem somewhat familiar to the phonographically inclined, but of course the devil is in the details and the ghost is in the machine. Andrew Anderson's deft attention to the finer points of the audio spectrum ensure that his voice is uniquely potent. His precisely articulated renderings of nature give way to abstracted, blown-out howls of roaming phantoms, their distant calls lingering well beyond the strictly audial. Grounded, recognizable sounds blend, clash, and blend again with unearthly fragments, suggesting the liminal spaces between movements, the work of shifting from one terrain to another. Anderson's work serves to navigate these transitional realms. This album offers a sonic depiction of those barely perceptible footprints left by unseen specters. They may shuffle about amid restless leaves and windchimes before moving on to the next haunting, but the places where those feet tread retain the memories of their presence, forever marked by their vicissitudes and vagrancies.\n\nThough these recordings do not provide any specific guidance, astute listeners may at least have some idea of what to expect when they inevitably become vagrants themselves.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Elevator Bath","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50046958993723,"sku":"CD-EB-061","price":14.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0916\/7831\/0715\/files\/a3006474629_10_3a554281-6ee4-44e3-83bb-0fe0ef2de91d.jpg?v=1740250249"},{"product_id":"daniela-huerta-soplo-10-vinyl","title":"Daniela Huerta - Soplo 10'' Clear Vinyl","description":"\u003cstyle type=\"text\/css\"\u003e\u003c!--td {border: 1px solid #cccccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--\u003e\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003cstyle type=\"text\/css\"\u003e\u003c!--td {border: 1px solid #cccccc;}br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--\u003e\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-root=\"1\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e*Released direct-to-fan October 25th, 2024 - \u003cstrong\u003eNew to Retail April 18th, 2025\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Soplo\" is the debut solo album from Berlin-based Mexican multimedia artist, sound designer, and DJ, Daniela Huerta -- and a true thing of beauty it is.
