fresh release on triple bath

[...] “Soundscape Study 001″ was designed as a means to this end – by exploring the soundscapes of two geographically distant villages and by spending an extended period of time in each location, he has attempted to (as much as is possible) understand the soundscapes he encountered, not only as a series of sonic events, but as a sensory whole. By comparing two villages he has been able to understand better how sound affects those who live it side by side, what non-sonic events affect the interpretation of sound, and attempted to record, collate and re-compose the soundscapes in a manner that is suggestive of the total soundscape therein.

second in moremars’ 3″ nous series comes a disc by electroacoustic musician Christos Zachos

moremars team said:

Christos Zachos was born in Corfu, Greece in 1980. He has studied electroacoustic and instrumental composition in the music department of the Ionian University and in Graz, Austria. His contribution to the nous 3″ series is 3 tracks that focus in the manipulation of sound fragments and their incorporation in a sound environment that brings to forth their unique uncanny qualities. The listener is exposed to a duration of events that unfold in a sureal way with the carefully constructed sounds aiming with full force against their own source deconstructing and decomposing it. The use of everyday sounds makes also this release a sonic diary of Christos life.

nous series #3, figurant, is apparetnly coming pretty soon as well. keep an eye on this team
