Ramifications, by Gora Sou

a1287315172_10

Orange Milk Records of Columbus Ohio never fails to bring some supreme goodies to the table, and this time around is no dissapointment. Ramifications is a phenomenal 8-track project from Gora Sou, soaring to melodic heights and churning depths. Sit back and close your eyes, let the inspiration flow into you…

Favorite Track: 3. Fregata 

Germany’s Marc Übel, aka Gora Sou, follows up his fantastic Living XXL album with Ramifications, an increasingly composed and masterful hybrid of ethereal synth abstraction and new MIDI sounds. The music is direct and effortless, seeming to arrive fully formed with few overdubs, even if we know that not to be true. In fact each instance of ambiance, rhythmic movement, and pure sound texture is labored over in a conscious effort to emphasize arrangement. According to the artist, Ramifications is about dealing with problems and changes and accepting them as something constructive, opposed to looking back all the time.

Vush, by Vuptes & Broshuda

Phinery brings us some truly twisted ambience, sounds and textures soaring left and right, this new split tape from Vuptes & Broshuda

Favorite Track: 5. Lichttunnel

Vush is the result of a shared interest in organic sound exploration/design and subaquatic atmospheres steeped in electroacoustic research and ambient techniques.

birthed from various sessions of sharing and processing synth sequences and field recordings over tea and cigarettes, the album vividly tells the tale of vuptes & broshuda exploring prehistoric lands and encountering various peculiar flora & fauna while on the search for the lost fawn.

the chirping of hidden critters, glassy fanfares and drippy percussion, crossing through the illuminated tunnels, swimming in the hidden lake and meeting the mysterious ghostfriend, these are the delightful sounds of “vush”, please enjoy.
