Het moge duidelijk zijn dat mijn favoriete releases van afgelopen maand van het Belgische KRAAK label komen. Over zowel Köhn als U.S. Girls was ik namelijk zeer te spreken, zo is hier en hier te lezen. Ook luisterde ik in oktober veel naar Psychic Ills en verschillende artiesten die op het Graag Traag festival aanwezig waren, waaronder Charalambides met hun prachtige Exile dubbel lp. Maar ik hou van afwisseling, dus zal ik hieronder nog [...]
Via / Procure the 2011 reissue of Then Fell the Ashes...
Speaking of his solo project TwinSisterMoon , Natural Snow Buildings ' Mehdi Ameziane admits that his songs are "captured on a one take/good take basis; almost unfinished in a sense, like a sketch." "Trailer," a track from his recently reissued Then Fell The Ashes... album, feels more like a wholly vivid snapshot of an incomplete memory- one of being rocked to sleep with a lullabye cassette in the tape decks, for instance, or simply of a time when your soul felt 100% insulated from even the slightest twinge of existential doubt. Next to album's mile-long vistas of gristled ambience, this [...]
Twinsistermoon op het Kraak festival reken ik tot de beste concerten die ik tot nu toe in 2011 heb mogen aanschouwen. Niet gek dus, dat ik enthousiast word van een nieuwe release van Natural Snow Buildings , een aan dit project gelieerde band. Chants Of Niflheim heet het laatste wapenfeit en werd speciaal opgenomen voor Record Store Day. En op die dag uitgebracht, natuurlijk. Niflheim is in de Noorse mythologie het rijk der nevelen, waar Hel heerste, en de doden aan haar werden onderworpen. Het past bij de muziek [...]
Wat moet die jongen uit Middelburg nu in Aalst, zie ik u denken, nota bene in het weekend van het carnaval? Zelfs op z'n verjaardag zet hij nog geen hoedje op! Nou, u moet weten, Carnaval Oilsjt staat op de Lijst van Meesterwerken van het Orale en Immateriële Erfgoed van de Mensheid van de UNESCO . Aankomend cultureel erfgoed ontdekken is één van m'n hobby's, althans op muzikaal gebied. Meelopen in de Stoet van de Voil Jeanetten ging te ver, maar met goede moed stortte ik mij in het feestgedruis om voor u [...]
Dit jaar gaat het er dan eindelijk van komen. Vielen eerder geplande bezoeken door logistieke problemen en gebrek aan doortastendheid van mijn kant in het water, op 5 maart aanstaande kan niets mij nog weerhouden het Kraak festival in Aalst aan te doen. Dat het de 13e editie is van het festijn brengt mij vooralsnog geen ongeluk. Het Gentse platenlabel Kraak is al jaren een merknaam voor de open vernieuwende muziekcultuur; niet alleen met hun eigen releases, maar ook met het gratis Ruis Magazine en allerlei concertavonden in Vlaanderen. Het festival sluit [...]
twinsistermoon desert prophecy 2010 (française version) incinérez moi ! alors vous avouez ? Silence. Silence épais. Dans la pièce, sous les nuages noirs, je vérifie l'ouverture de mes canaux auditifs externes. Un disque vient trancher, orchestre invisible. découper l'air. l'air épais. tout fonctionne, l'orchestre invisible, moi. tout fonctionne et je n'ai que la peau et les os. la peau collée sur les os. inutile carcasse. il fait froid. est ce la nuit ? est ce que je dors? incinérez moi [...]

TwinSisterMoon cela vous dit quelque chose ? Non ? Et alors si je vous dit qu'elle se prénomme Mehdi Ameziane... Toujours rien ? Bon si je vous donne encore un indice, le dernier, et que c'est le projet solo de Natural Snow Buildings ... Hein ? Nada ? Bon et bien tant pis pour vous, je garderai cela pour moi. Bien secret et pour mes nuits ! C'est peut-être mieux ainsi... [MP3] TwinSisterMoon - Sun Snaring [MP3] TwinSisterMoon - Walhalla
This song is taken from the new 7" from Mehdi Ameziane , aka twinsistermoon , one half of the duo Natural Snow Buildings . You could've probably convinced me that this hushed, haunting folk ballad was an old Vashti Bunyan demo from the late '60s, if Mehdi wasn't actually French, and a dude: mp3: twinsistermoon :: bride of the spirts Twinsistermoon's Bride of the Spirits 7" is out now Dull Knife Records ; sold out.

Kaum eine andere Formation schafft so epische und doch fragile Monumente wie das französische Duo Mehdi Ameziane und Solange Gularte. Ihr neustes Werk übertrifft alles Dagewesene. Seit 1997 schleiffen die zwei Klangalchemisten mit ungeheurer Produktivität und kunstvollen, streng limitierten Editionen (oft nicht mehr als 100 Stück) am eigenen Mythos. Spätestens mit dem Reissue ihres vermeintlichen Meisterwerkes, dem Doppelalbum "The Dance Of The Moon And The Sun", erreichten sie Ende letzten Jahres Kultstatus, der über eine kleine Gemeinde von Eingefleischten hinausreicht. Ihr Opus umfasst mittlerweile an die 20 Alben und verblüfft durch Vielfalt. Zu gross selbst [...]
I'm not sure how many of you have been reading this page for a while, but some of you may remember last summer's "The Great Chili Cook-off That Never Was" . 368 days ago, I tried to attend the Beverly Hills Farmer's Market Chili Cook-off. I showed up too late, and lamented my misfortunate for longer than I should have considering I didn't have a job or anything to do that day anyway. Nevertheless, when I saw this past week that somebody had Google'd "Beverly Hills Farmers Market Chili Cook-off", I got to thinking that maybe it was an [...]
Photo: Cover art from self titled Jack Rose LP. Jack Rose, (lap steel) guitarist and master of blues and folk, is always likely to receive plenty of airplay at my place around this time of the year. His fingerpicking and slide instrumentals being the perfect accompaniment for these early summer days. On his latest album Dr Ragtime & Pals he finds himself accompanied by fellow musicians Glenn Jones, Micah Blue Smaldone (also featured on this playlist with a solo track), Mike Gangloff, Sean Bowles and Harmonica Dan. Their addition of harmonica, banjo and washboard add [...]
Photo credit: Joanna Branson With her debut full-length Faces in the Rocks Nevada City songwriter Mariee Sioux has recorded one of this year's most breathtaking and haunting albums. I was lucky enough to witness her spine-chilling performance on a beautiful afternoon in Amsterdam several weeks ago. That afternoon her songs seemed enriched with spiritual tales and Native American imagery. Her songs worked very well with just Mariee Sioux on guitar (see video below). What struck me the most that day was that these songs that sounded so sweet and light-hearted on cd, [...]
Last night was so embarrassing I won't even describe how I spent it. Sure, I left the apartment at five in the afternoon and didn't return until after 4am, but the hours in between were so utterly unremarkable I feel it could actually damage my reputation if I recounted the details for you. I awoke to my phone ringing at noon. There were television characters making cameos in my dreams this morning. RULES for uninitiated noobs : With 100MB of webspace, I give birth to a weekly Mix Tape to be deposited on your iPods or [...]
Photo credit: Michael Phelps With this list we come to the end of this series. A series that travelled from the heavy artillery of psychedelic freak-outs all the way to the serene bliss of dark and tranquil drones and ambient. This final 60+ minute playlist is like reaching our final destination in space. A peaceful place that glows with ecstasy and breathes an almost religious serene ambience. This couldn't have been better portrayed than by Rhys Chatham's incredible "A Crimson Grail". A highly emotional recording which was made in the Sacre Coeur [...]
