galen tipton & Shmu – dewCLAWS (Orange Milk Records)

Label Description:

Within ‘dewCLAWS’ is a digital orgy of goo-ey deconstructed and psychedelic club & dance music, including features from Hakushi Hasegawa, diana starshine, Ko T.C. & many others. Off the heels of the huge success of ‘You Like Music’ galen’s most recent collabo album with OM co-founder & dds heavyweight, Keith Rankin aka Giant Claw, as well as a collabo album with underground legend Holly Waxwing, galen brings all of their hallmark environment and naturesque zigzags that are beautifully balanced by Shmu’s emotional flurry of colorful tapestries, as their styles collide in a record that is both zany & in search of a new language for deeper emotions yet uncovered


All Songs Written, Arranged, Performed, Produced, Mixed & Mastered by Galen Tipton & Shmu

Album, Single Artworks, Art Layout & Album Title by Mas Guerrero

Label Description:

Intricate synthesized percussion with layers of detailed harmonic elements provide a nuanced auditory experience; repeated listening rewards the audience with previously unheard sounds.

Scanner & Neil Leonard – The Berklee Sessions (Alltagsmusick)

a0340221972_10

Label Description:

This session took place over one day, but remarkably took a decade to mix and release. There was no rehearsal, we simply set off into the unknown with each piece, and the players found their feet within the music almost immediately.

Guided by Neil Leonard, who has worked with Magdalena Campos, Fujiko Nakaya, Phill Niblock, and Tony Oursler, the session was truly magical.

It’s psych rock embodied with an electronic spirit, spiralling(sic) off into thunderous rhythms, blistering solos, ethereal melodies and sampled voices, with exuberant playing and focused improvisation.

Working with David Tronzo on electric (slide) guitar (David Sanborn, John Cale, The Lounge Lizards, Sex Mob, Wayne Horvitz), Mike Rivard on bass (Cab Calloway, Frank Zappa, Morphine, Jon Brion), and Dean Johnston on Drums (Superhoney, Club d’Elf), they propelled the music into entirely fresh and dynamic territory.

The session was part of a residency in the Berklee Interdisciplinary Arts Institute at Berklee College of Music, Boston. Huge gratitude to Neil Leonard who steered the production in the right direction.

This exclusive version on Bandcamp features a reworking of Time Code by legendary American musician Richard Devine in collaboration with Neil Leonard live in Boston in 2014

“It hits the kind of openended(sic) all-consuming groove to be found in The Necks, Tortoise or Miles Davis in modal mode: pulsating, circling jazz patterns, bass bubbling through ring modulation and envelope filters, sax and slide guitar, with Rimbaud’s shortwave radio and electronics dusting through the gaps”
The Wire Magazine

“The album provides a powerful document of the idea that music is a living, breathing force of nature and as an ever-evolving possibility. The interplay with between the electronics, punctuating drums, bass, and horns delights in newfound measure. From the night-time atmosphere of grainy cinema or the nostalgic whisper of words to the more colourful(sic) excess of psychedelia, to the edge or life-affirming all points are referenced, touched upon, and then exercised.”
Magazine Sixty

a1025129584_10

Label Description:

Electronic musicians create with many tools, and one of the most versatile among them is sampling. Like spliced genes in a laboratory, sampled sounds can be rearranged and mutated, giving rise to entirely novel and unexpected compositions.

Every year, we invite our friends in the community to join us in our ongoing musical experiment, Genome. The songs heard here are all derived from a provided set of samples, sharing a common sonic lineage but each emerging as something new and unique.

With purchase and download of this album, receive access to a bonus sample kit of over 1,100 drums, synths, loops and all sorts of other sounds. Use them to create a track for next year’s edition. These sounds are provided royalty-free, so you can also use them in your own work. See the attached pdf booklet for more information.
