Painstakingly constructed by multi-instrumentalist KEVIN SCOTT DAVIS during more than two years of spiritual struggle and rebirth, 'betacicadae: mouna' is a lush, transcendental narrative in sound. It is a cohesive whole that employs a broad spectrum of textures and extends far beyond formula like "drone" or "field recordings." The sounds absorb, project, embrace, and comfort the listener in imaginary geography-surreal, dreamlike spaces beween earth and otherworldliness. 'mouna' is an intimate personal statement, but also a universal musical narrative of redemption. Source material for each track began with field recordings: a farm in Oregon, a rainforest in Hawaii, different cities. An array of acoustic and electronic sounds were generated from scratch: instruments included guitars (electric, bass, lap steel), wood flute, vibraphone, harp, violin, percussion, synthesizers, effects pedals, and digital software.
Elegua Records is proud to present this debut release by betacicadae. Beginning with photographic images by Davis, the design, printing, and construction of the album's physical editions are approached with the care and depth of feeling that the music deserves. Taking the label's handmade DIY approach to limited editions a step further, clear vinyl and compact disc editions of 100 will include one-of-a-kind screen printed, stamped, and individually numbered inserts and transparencies. The physical editions will also include a unique download code with access to high-quality digital files of the album and bonus material.
Just in time for valeot records 5th anniversary, co-founder and label head alexandr vatagin presents his third solo album "serza". in combining the analogue and tender atmosphere of "valeot" (2006) with the harsh, yet subtle digital electronics of "shards" (2008), "serza" is attesting to a consequent and traceable development towards maturity in sound and structure. featuring a huge spectrum of common as well as unusual instruments, it takes you on a thirty minute trip full of delicate melodies, pushing drums, gentle noise, swirling celli, warm vibraphone chimes and sweet piano tunes.
The album features friends from all over the world including martin siewert (radian, trapist), hideki umezawa (pawn), james yates (epic 45, pattern theory), fabian pollack, giulio aldinucci, all tupolev members and patrick pulsinger, who provided several self-recorded synth samples.
Serza is presented live either by alexandr vatagin (cello, synth, laptop) solo or as a trio: alexandr vatagin (bass, nordlead, laptop), martin siewert (guitar, devices) and david schweighart (drums).
Born in ukraine in the early 80's, vatagin moved to austria in the beginning of the 90's, and only started to make music another decade later. he plays in tupolev and port-royal and founded the project quarz, which recently released its first album on cronica. he has collaborated with b. fleischmann, stefan nemeth (lokai), steven hess (pan american), philippe petit (strings of consciousness), bernhard breuer (elektro guzzi, metalycee), alexander schubert, kutin (dirac), nicolas bernier and many others and played concerts all over western, central and eastern europe. his solo works and works he was involved in were released on valeot records, morr music, cronica, n5md, mikroton, moozak and many more.
"Seam", Adaya Godlevsky's debut release on Interval Recordings, marks yet another challenging release of the label's ongoing musical output. Along its 13 chapters, Godlevsky uses her Celtic harp and voice to gently constitute seams; seams as boarder lines between strumming and scratching a string, between tapping the sound box and an arpeggio flow, between a classically notated composition and improvised music derived from a graphic score.
The seam is always and already the boarder line, presence in this release as a result of Godlevsky's different artistic practices; performance, composition, playing and singing.
