I Low You Records

Few words from the artist:
The sounds contained on the album are very organic, 70-80% of them were recorded on various microphones. They are actually “samples of reality” created from the sounds of nature, home, people, animals, machines. The remaining sounds come from virtual instruments (VSTI) and traditional instruments (acoustic or electronic), although often their sound was produced in a different way than it is suggested by the practice of playing.
The basic layers are recordings (ambience) of the place, created in the philosophy of field recording.
The whole album is based on activities from this area and treatments related to sound design.

NIS is a project by Szymon Nożyński.

The end of a dystopian nightmare is a landscape where the absence of the mankind is highlighted by the ruins, quietly devoured by the Nature.
Roe deers now walk free in deserted squares, the northern seas crystallized in frazils.
There was once a primitive society of a few individuals capable of capturing the energy of lightning to store it in machines which the fundamentals nobody knows, and so distant in the future nobody will see.
These machines and everything the wisdom of this lost society produced was built to last, like the ancient stone temples or diamond star polyhedra. Sometimes, for unknown reasons they glitch, producing a spasm in the system: turning on street lamps in deserted cities and playing music in empty houses, through the indifference of the trees.

Sonambient is the moniker of the Italian producer Andrea Buzzi since 2012. His sound is a blend of bass music, dub delays and ambient noises.

Demetrio Cecchitelli (b. 1997) is a musician, multi-instrumentalist, improviser, composer and research artist.

With “Chances” the composer wants to investigate the intimate part of drone-music and the post guitar-oriented creative process. Huge reverberated sounds enter a massive emotive space, with the domain of long wide chords and suspensive harmonies, the feeling is that of being within a bubble that gently moves and oscillates into undefined places. In other words, a will to go beyond.

human language is the experimental electronic outlet for Dustin Zozaya. Born in El Paso, Texas and living in Sweden, he cut his musical teeth in Austin during a decade of intense writing, recording, and touring with the psychedelic band Holy Wave.

The search for the balance between a contemplative ideal and active pragmatism is the definition of human language: sometimes ambient, sometimes noisy, the project shifts between structured beats and a barrage of samples and sounds. Through Human Language, Zozaya
explores how humanity, being singularly physical and spiritual, expresses this reality by using and breaking grammatical and musical structures.

With “For a language to come”, Andrea Castiglioni wanted to make an homage to the works of 2 extraordinary visual storytellers: Daido Moriyama and Takuma Nakahira.
It is an urban album, a game of lights and shadows, where the electronic music has the control. There are contemplative moments and others more lively. I imagined being next to Daido, looking for the perfect shot, blending with the crowd, wandering through the city center to get to the suburbs. We both feel the need to put our vibrations and our pulsations in contact with those of the city, so we observe the people with their desires, excesses, their fears… we travel in a sort of constant empathy for everything it’s alive.

The album comes with a video that aims to celebrate the 2 Japanese visual storytellers.

It would take at least 4 other albums to give back what the world of video games has managed to teach me on a musical level and beyond. However, this seems like a good start.
From an early age I was fascinated by the ability of video games to arouse emotions, to put yourself in a completely new world and at the same time, to be able to face important topics. Music was the component I preferred the most, to the point that I played the same levels several times just to listen to a certain song. Even today when I hear some of my favorite soundtracks I realize how great the influence they have on me. All this increase my admiration for the composers and the entire development teams who dedicate body and soul to these small technological jewels.
 You can consider this album as a sort of collection, the inspirations have had different sources, but I want to mention at least a few:
Mirror’s Edge, Deus ex Human Revolution, Beyond Good e Evil, Just Cause, Wipeout3, Oddworld, Monkey Island, Grim Fandango, Crash, Shenmue, The Neverhood, Dethkarz, Tomb Raider IV The Last Revelation, Ignition, Fahrenheit/Indigo Prophecy, Prey… better than I stop here, there would still be too many !!!

Are video games art? Of course they are, they are one of the most complete forms of art that exist.

From the mind behind Grant Summer, Olivia Summer and Dave Summer, a 14 tracks album about future and past. A journey on a flying VHS in dreamy sounds and neon landscapes, celebrating the Cyberpunk culture of the 80s. Inspired to cinema masterpieces such as Akira, Blade runner, Ghost in the shell and yet true artists like Carpenter, Tsukamoto or Joe Hisaishi, this album will bring you in a new land unexplored by the ambient music.

The whole album has been recorded on a VHS cassette tape, then transferred on an audio tape and finally mastered on the computer again. This to have the typical vintage sound and noise of the 80s… the great magic we like.

“I’ve never been to Tokyo, but since dreaming is free, I picture it like this.”
For this album I set out to make music able to bring the listener to the streets of a big metropolis, make them feel that blend of emotions that only come when you walk in a unknown place: agitation, fear… but also a sense of safety and hope. I imagined music heavy like a skyscraper but at the same time light like the neon in Tokyo that works at night but fades with the daylight. Music that is hyper-technical, but also natural. Tokyo seems to be the perfect picture of these moods.
Being a lover of soundtracks, this album has been strongly influenced by “Lost in Translation” by Sofia Coppola, one of my favorite movies. The atmosphere from the movie suggested which direction I should take for the album, the images and sounds constantly inspired me.

Exhilarating melodies with transient showers, birds, children who immerse us in an impromptu sound.
This fragment is revived by sounds forgotten or neglected by the noisy flows of the moment.
A poetic pause in this ‘Over data’ that tends to erase silences.

Handyman of sound loops, L.Boy jr. is an artist based in Nantes (France).
He’s passionate about finding dusty vinyl records and various sound materials. He cuts their sounds, sticks together and transforms them in order to create weird and messy worlds.
For this latest project, he was inspired by David Toop’s book “Ocean of sounds”. He worked with samples of popular 20th century music, reverberation and effects. The result is a floating music imagined like in the people’s subconscious.
