sonicsuirrel.net - Latest Releases

Time is a strange thing. Two and a half years ago (65 releases ago, in netlabel-speak) Resting Bell released offthesky's "rare decay". A timeless and beautiful 4 song EP. I didn't hesitate a second when Jason Corder asked me if I'd be interested in a re-release of his musically related “du-soleil” EP which was originally released via atmoworks back in 2007."du soleil" is not only fully remastered, but it is also extended with three fine remixes from Darren Mcclure, Billy Gomberg and offthesky himself. So all in all around 54 minutes of pure bliss - not really an EP anymore I suppose. As I listened to "du soleil" it was hard for me to believe that this work is even dated. It sounds fresh, gentle and bright with the same timeless quality, you can find in all of Jason’s releases. "du soleil" is a very calm ambient-work with many subtle melodies and musical ideas hiding inside. Last but no least, the three additional remixes are quite stunning: Darren McClure's rework presents a multifaceted structure of evolving and lush tonal climates. Billy Gomberg brings a moody and diffused interpretation with subtle tone resting upon a bed of ash like analog texture. Jason's own perspective is a soft re-synthesis of compositional elements and samples used throughout all 4 pieces in "du soleil". This group of additional treats, makes the perfect landing for a work that certainly stems from somewhere above.

Lullabyes for the Sleepless

Thu, 09 Sep 2010 14:43:49 +0200

released on restingbell by A Western Addition

I'm writing these words from Qingdao, China where this collection of songs sound like they're from outer space compared to the syrupy love songs that blast out of the speakers here. These pieces take me back to my years in my studio apartment off McAllister Street in San Francisco. Often, as I'd watch the evening fog roll by pass Twin Peaks out of my kitchen window, I'd play my guitar; and sometimes on those special nights angels would visit, allowing my fingers to miraculously play themselves.The recordings are of various objective quality due to bad recording technique ('Sagano' was recorded on an IPod mic). But when I tried to rerecord some of the songs I discovered that I preferred the original versions because they had the most honest emotion. In the end I decided to just keep them, warts and all, as a document of that time. Basically what you hear is me in my cramped kitchen talking to myself by banging, scraping, and caressing six steel strings on a plank of wood.I don't know where these songs come from; but I know it is a dark restless place. So in that spirit, here is a collection of lullabies for the sleepless who hold a special place in my heart.A Western AdditionMay 2009

AYTEC-ZERO

Mon, 06 Sep 2010 12:46:39 +0200

released on fish recordings by Aytec

aytec is born somewhere in austria. at the age of 3 he started to play therattle. quickly he advanced his skills and founded a band with some of hisplay school homies. unfortunately jealousy between the band membersdestroyed the band. disappointed about that, aytec decided to follow hismusical efforts alone. at the age of 7 he was bored about the technical potentialof the rattle and discovered the triangle. he composed whole operas basedon various triangle melodies but did not gain a lot of attention. so he wasdisappointed again and started to try out new frontiers on various instrumentslike the digeridoo, pan pipes, the bagpipe, the tuba, the xylophone, theaccordion, the ukulele, the harp, castanets, cowbells, and some others.after years of practice, at the age of 13, he was able to play numerousinstruments simultaneously but nobody gave him a chance to show hisskills to a live audience. after that he was so disappointed again that he wantedto leave the music behind and become a painter. but he had no talent at allin painting. all his pictures were horrible and ugly. so he tried to sculptstatues of exotic animals but he also failed on this. when he reached17 he went back to making music and began to produce beats on an old computer hisdad donated him. in the beginning his beats and compositions were prettyweak but he discovered the midrange through a fortunate coincidence whenhe tried to sample a thunderstorm. he mixed it with some noises made with hismouth (which he recorded at home with a cheap microphone). he improved a lot inthe following months on base of this discovery. he soon learned a lot about synthsand made more and more midranges with them. hopefully he will now receive theattention he deserves since the day he started to play the rattle.
