Perry Ferya Band is a marginal project of Skala Collective’s musicians, oriented to a spontaneous psychedelic improvisation with elements of free jazz.

“Mantra” was recorded in 2013. It is the next step, the development of the ideas known from two first Perry Ferya Band’s albums – “Back Out” and “Live on Venus”. The band has still based its works on improvisation and intuitional cooperation of the musicians. It experiments with a composition and different kinds of instruments, looking for new means of expression . Though it is still true to conventions of the psychedelic tradition of 60’s and 70’s as well as to the ethnic tradition of common, unfettered making of music. The musicians automatically reject the commercial bonds of contemporary civilization. The most significant is a mutual relation, experiencing the act of creation and sharing music with other people.

Four first compositions on this album are studio productions based on above-mentioned standards. The last track on “Mantra” is a characteristic continuation of the previous album “Live on Venus” . It is a 30 minutes long live-recorded huge psychedelic improvisation “Live on Mars” – a cosmological journey to sources of old times, music of primeval forests and ancient Slavic motherland. The magic journey to Arkaim.

The musicians of Perry Ferya Band have similarly participated in many other projects which has widely been mentioned in the description of Skala Collective’s albums - „Black Constellation” published in Clinical Archives (ca477) and „Sleepy Dancing” (ca512). Their previous projects have been published in such netlabels as Chill Label, Recycling Records, Lego Ego and 49 Manekinów.

The Album as the title says was born from the necessity to create a soundtrack that formed the context, the inspirational atmosphere, for the elaboration of an animated short movie that would stray outside the traditional boundaries of narrative. It was too stimulating an enterprise to pull off with any standard rendering of a written composition. This is why we chose to build the work using alternative compositional techniques tied to the extemporaneous creation of forms and elements – a method hewing more closely to contemporary styles of composition. We needed music that wouldn't just stay in the background. It needed to be rich in stimuli and in some way figurative. Sticking to the three-minute time limit for each recording was crucial. This allowed us to create a series of chronometric tracks that used varying techniques: parametric graphs to coordinate dynamics, materials and mood changes. We worked on creating contrast and on imitations of the different timbres among our instruments. We imagined dialogues and slowly passing landscapes, and we researched alternate manners of rhythm in an attempt to achieve a free improvisation unchained by rules. This album is an outtake of the most significant tracks to come out of our recording session: "Around 3 minutes long short movie songs”.

This Co. presents "More", their second album. After years of silent work, This Co. comes back at the end of April with More, their second independent album. As the title suggests, this is a more dense, elaborated and mature album than the previous one.
This is definitely More This Co. Loaded with that dark atmosphere introduced on their debut, More dives deeper on those layers of punk, new wave and electronics that define the sound of This Co., but without giving up their intention to make you dance. The album was independently produced with the collaboration of the musician and producer Juan Cristobal Saavedra (a.k.a. Equipo) on the electronics. The launch of More will count with an additional remixes EP, in charge of people such as El Sueño de la Casa Propia, Pol del Sur (ex Compiuters) and Equipo, among others.

Biography:
Since their inception by 2007, This Co. has been highlighted by the visual power and sound of their live performances. This has earned them recognition on the stages of the Santiago scene, reaching, alongside the release of their first self-titled album (2008), excellent reviews from the press. To name a few, Rolling Stone highlighted the single "As you know" as a hot track in their Chilean edition and MTV selected the video clip of the same song as one of the 10 most requested on MTV LA. After their successful European tour in 2009, This Co. quietly focused in the composition and production of what would be their second LP More, and their EP of remixes. This Co. is currently formed by Jorge Christie (vocals / guitar), Nicolás Rebolledo (guitar / keyboards), Omar Van de Wyngard (drums) and Carlos Vergara (bass / vocals).

Between a raucous start & finish, Now's third album for Clinical Archives, "pileofskyhighmiles", captures a selection of sensitive, carefully crafted experimental pop tunes & is the least studio-manipulated of Now's albums. Minimal, yet varied, the songs capture a process of organic recording & collaborative song-writing, more closely reflecting the band's live sound.

Since their foundation in 1998, Now have released eight albums, contributed exclusive tracks to many compilations, collaborated with underground musicians (such as Damo Suzuki, leading to the release of the joint album "The London Evening News", Charles Hayward & The Go! Team's Kaori Tsuchida) & have played inside & outside the UK, including a 2009 Japan tour (released as "Ooo-doo-sigh" by Clinical Archives) & regular visits to Norway.
Live, Now move between melodic songs & energetic improvisation.
Now could be described as catchy, contemporary, inventive, exotic, melodious, harmonious & disharmonious 21st century pop music.

Sleepy Dancing, Skala Collective’s second album, this time with participation of a vocalist and in slightly different stylistics than ever before.
Sound and style of the band, well-known from the previous album, have been transformed through more pop type filters which make new compositions more melodic and definitely less harsh than the previous ones. However space rock areas and rhythmic kraut massage are still easy to hear in that music.
Gee’s vocals and lyrics have lent a sensual element of femininity. The whole, although comes from different music inspirations, forms a coherent album with occasionally a trance and hypnotic, sometimes even dance face. Skala Collective’s musicians define their production as post-pop.

I recorded a bunch of guitar improvisations and sent them to these musicians, to their parts of the world, through the digital channels we come to love so much nowadays. They were that kind, to respond like this. Some of them are my dear friends since long ago, some I met shortly, some I saw only on facebook pictures. This music, to me, is a contemplation about the transcendental nature of creative human interaction when the solitary, the personal becomes shared and mutual, modelling the very beginning and the very essence of our world.

The creative association "Utrovortu" formed in St. Petersburg some years ago. Its core was the band "Golubi i bezumnye kashevary" ("The Pigeons and the Insane Porridgemakers"), a large body of people performing at the interface between music and experimental poetry.
At this moment the association released three LP albums, two live DVD, the book of poetry and drawings called "Pozdniy zavtrak" ("Late breakfast"), the video art work "Mulla v pustyne" ("Mullah in the desert") and also a number of live recordings and short films.
Besides the regular concerts of "Golubi i Bezumnye Kashevary" "Utrovortu" carries out experimental performances, based on the principles of spontaneity and all-round improvisation (mainly musical and near-theatrical).
This recording was made in October 2008, and commits one of these performances.

Based in York (UK), Red Cosmos is the solo project of Kim Tortoise. Kim was previously a member of The Gods Themselves with Art Moran. They made two super-limited cassettes of novelty tunes and five-minute fade-outs.

The very first Red Cosmos track (The Chicken Song) consisted of looped samples of Kim Tortoise Junior and friends talking about chickens, backed by a playful electronic beat. This set the mould for most of Kim’s early output. However, the track Son of Morris, a cut-and-paste shoegaze number (featuring vocals by Art Moran) changed direction somewhat and garnered airplay on WFMU and Dandelion Radio. A prolific output in demo mode ensued, and a Red Cosmos re-mix cum mash-up of the Gwilly Edmondez sound-poem Balls Roll Everywhere was described as “possibly one of the daftest tunes I’ve ever played” by Andrew Morrison (Dandelion Radio).

This is Red Cosmos' first long-player There And Back. It includes (amongst others) a choraldelic ode to the legendary Psych re-issue label Bam Caruso Records (St.Albans Colour Explosion), a high-voiced love song sung by a kidnapper (You Said You Loved Me), and a track featuring Kim Tortoise's father-in-law reciting a poem about the fate of Iron Stone Miners in Yorkshire (Iron Rush).

There And Back seems to have pleased and perplexed in equal measure. One reviewer wrote that he was “forced to throw my headphones across the room and slap my own ears” during the chorus of England’s Glory.

"Yurikamome" It's a Japanese railroad which runs in the seaside city of Tokyo.
It is unmanned driving, there are not a driver and the conductor in the inside of train, in other words it runs by the automatic control of the computer.
We can see a lot of scenes which can be called "Near-future city" along Yurikamome and I made up my mind to describe the sceneries by sounds, and this album was completed here.
I expressed and interpreted of sceneries along Yurikamome, such as night view from the train window, Tokyo Big Sight, sidewalk which is lighted up by orange streetlights, Rainbow Bridge (it's Japanese famous bridge) and so on.
I'm glad if you take in landscape by my sounds.

Miche's eponymous solo project is mainly dedicated to the creation of ambient, drone and electronica music.
Having first learned the piano at age three, Miche's influences are rooted in classical music and video game soundtracks as well as healing music, a Japan-based new age genre that continued to have a lasting impression on him since his first encounter with it at eleven years old.
Miche first became interested in making tracks using computers while recording a demo CD as a member of a rock band, later going on to start activities under his current name in 2011.
In December of the same year, Miche participated in Gallery Six's "ArtLism.JP" free download compilation album.
In August 2012, Miche released his first EP, "Summer Vacation of a Fancy," on On Sunday Recordings (JP), with Chihei Hatakeyama appearing as mastering engineer and Fugenn & The White Elephants as a remixer. Miche himself has also participated as a remixer on vocaloid producer 3396's first album, "Rain and Wolf."
In November 2012, Miche's launched his second EP, "Blue Hall," on Sasakino Records (JP), with Fraqsea appearing as a guest vocalist.
Miche has also established the creation team "Flowery," which has since released two compilation albums, "Lectrade" (December, 2011) and "Silent Night Report" (August, 2012).
Miche's works are created through a combination of piano, guitar and bass guitar playing, field recordings, computer programming and other elements. His music pursues themes such as expression and interpretations of daily sceneries and imaginary landscapes, as well as memories and personal recollections of his childhood.

Halster, a Swedish freely improvising guitar trio operating from Malmö, state their case like this: "Guitar as object. Guitar as subject. Guitar as percussion. Guitar as quotation. Guitar as microphone. Guitar as string-theory. Guitar as a tool. Guitar as a fool. Guitar as guitar. " They hold weekly open Monday sessions in their rehearsal hall made of an old military bunker, and this time the guests were Vassily K., a guitarist from Moscow, and Herman Müntzing, a renown experimental sound artist from Baskemölla, with his electronics and amlified objects. The visual and verbal ideas are taken gratefully from the research of Alan C.M. Cheung and Patrick Cramer at Gene Center and Department of Biochemistry, Center for Integrated Protein Science, Munich.

Boris Gagloev was born in 1969 in the Russian town of Vologda, he graduated from Archangelsk Conservatory in the field of jazz guitar (1993) and also he was graduate of St. Petersburg Academy of Theatre, Music, and Cinematography in the field of composition and sound creation participating in experimental course of Vyacheslav Guyvoronsky (master´s degree in 2004). In the 90s, he came across international gathering Un de Lion for instance, in 1997 he moved to Prague, where he taught at Instrumental Theatre Music College and performed concerts with various bands in the genres of avant-garde improvisation, jazz and latino-american music (Kaljan Jazz, BG Ensemble, Noise Of Time, Atarés) and last but not least, he composed scenic music.
At the end of 2004, Gagloev set up project of Noise Pictures with intention to give a boost to loose association of musicians - rather than closed band - with interest in improvised and experimental music, so that various musicians from different genres having lust for diverse approach to music making could meet; while some of them took part in no more than one action, the others cooperated much longer. Boris himself described the project as “musical yoga or sound magic by the means of live communication of musicians and audience in real time”. This group gave varied performances, they also produced many recorded material in rehearsal rooms and studios and its activity continued to flourish until January 2008, when Boris passed away.
Not until this year, there has been found most probably the only extant CD-R from 2005, containing mastered studio recordings of the core group of Noise Pictures (trio Gagloev – Petržela – Faix). You can find this recording on the first CD and as a “bonus”, collection of recordings from rehearsals and home studio has been attached; Gagloev put together this collection as promo material named Noise Pictures Extracts.
Boris Gagloev could have been considered as rather controversial eccentric by many for his often very radical opinions and quite self-destructive lifestyle; however, as an artist he will hardly ever be forgotten by anyone who had chance to meet him. All those people would definitely confirm that he should be remembered, and therefore we made possible for public to share this album too.
