Les Nouvelles Propagandes (France)リリースCD My pilgrimage to Ganriki-san Shrine (ガンリキさん神社) 10.000 torii gates, 12.000 irregular steps without banisters, burning sun, thousands of people within the narrow stairs going in both directions. A narrow tunnel vision of 15 degrees without contrast. A journey of several hours at Mt. Inari in Fushimi-ku, Kyoto. What started as an insignificant walk to reach the shrine of Ganriki-san, a Shinto deity giving blessing for eye diseases, gradually evolved into an intense journey through a swarm of mental and physical confrontation. With each step, through each torii, my willpower raised and the efforts lightened. There was no option to turn back, only the will to continue. I never felt so strong while being confronted by my eye demon in years, with my guiding light taking by hand. After more than 2 hours, we finally reached the shrine. The tension exploded, the emotions bursted, the tears followed the dripping water of the purifying fountain. I cracked. We prayed. My guiding light lit a candle for me. She bestowed my a spell. The epiphany took over. She wrote down a spell on a wooden relic, which was to be read by a priest before burning it, later that day. We started to walk back, I returned one last time to imprint. The journey back down was even lighter than the mounting, despite the more challenging effort to walk down stairs. This pilgrimage triggered something within me. I know it’s the journey itself that did this to me, not the deity. But it felt as a spiritual event nevertheless. And I will carry the spell with me at all times, as a reminder, a relic of my epiphany.

Les Nouvelles Propagandes (France)リリースCD During 2021 I recovered several recordings dating back to the period 1995-2001. Some of them are part of the Xela recording sessions. I, therefore, decided to remix and extend them with more contemporary sounds, to create a sort of temporal bridge between those years and 2021-2022. The result can be considered the second chapter of Xela.

イタリアSilentes Minimal Editions リリースCD Drone, Experimental, Ambient Long static drones and suspended frequencies of harmonic, sonorous wafts in constant evolution riding cyclical hypnotic perennially changing synthetic curved waves... Loops and fluctuating waves meet expand sonorous carpets and push-buttons electronic micro-sequences that progressively decompose in minimal rhythmic structures... Submerged melodic fragments emerge soft between stuffed with wadding magma flows... Extraordinary atmospheres and great new tension for this, most waited chapter of "Aube Reworks Stefano Gentile"! https://youtu.be/1415DZolaaU

イタリアSilentes Minimal Editions リリースCD Dark Ambient, Experimental, Noise Another must have work by audio decomposition-genius and sound-sculptor AUBE. Ethnic-electronic sound sources (as with "The Missing Tapes" by NIMH) transfigured and remodeled into completely new sonic lifeforms with state-of-the-art audio processing algorithms. Residual fragments of the original sound-sources occasionally appear in the mix like aquatic fauna swimming to the surface for a brief second. A magnum opus in four movements. Intensely facinating work by the unparalleled master of experimental sound design. AUBE is peerless. A minimal mosaic of sound that takes the listener on a slow-motion expedition into the very fabric of tone. A ocean of sound-grains for the listened to swim in. Spoken language doesn't (yet) contain words that properly describe these sounds... an absolute must have for the experimental music devotee. https://youtu.be/tFjNUyWZ_ps https://youtu.be/Co9VbteM9mw

イタリアOLD EUROPA CAFEリリース Limited Edition 400 copies,Digipak Re-edition of the split tape released in 1996 on SSSM, the label owned by Hiroshi Hasimoto aka Contagious Orgasm. With the addition of two rare and exclusive tracks released on the "RIFT LABORATORY" tape compilation dated 1994 also out on SSSM. A unique document on Italian Extreme Industrial Power-Electronics by Marco Corbelli and the Japanese Dark-Ambient Industrial by Hiroshi Hashimoto. Cult release, first time on CD.

act 261 with 'escape' contagious orgasm continue to plough their uniquely peculiar furrow of audio experiments and self improvement, exploring the strange landscapes of numerous musical styles. dealing with influences ranging from ambient, dub, idm/electronica and electro to dark ambient and noise, it is an impossible task to completely comprehend this album's scope within just a few listens. this aural voyage atmospherically varies from hypnotic echo-based beat pulses and moony synthesized melodies up to disturbing industrial soundscapes. mighty bass strokes, a multitude of different rhythms, manipulated voices and skillfully applied samples result in an adventurous and enthralling work of sonic art captivating with its deep, transparent production. turn off the light and let yourself fall into this album's very own flow. a quite accessible, multifarious, and yet typical element of contagious orgasm's wide cosmos in its charm, enjoyment and surprise.

act 211 hiroshi hashimoto started releasing music twenty years ago as contagious orgasm. right from the beginning listeners knew that there was something very unique and special about c.o.'s sound - differing from the typical japanese 'industrial scene'. the initial aural transformation of track and release titles were soon replaced by something quite different. themes became more abstract and surrealistic; influences came from various collaborations and often seriousness was undercut with a wink... as on previous c.o. releases you can hear musical and stylistic sources from many cultural areas; for instance on 'ripple' you can hear indian chants, dub bass, electronic clicks/cuts, gongs, a piano, even straight beats and minimal sequencer grooves. styles range from free form to dance music to idm to noise and to ethnic sources. in hashimoto's works these ingredients cease what they were before - they are now transformed into coherent music (without being a eclectic cliché). an example: often many artists use voice samples in their work, to explain or to engross thoughts. hashimoto's usage of samples take the 'instruments of speech' out of their initial contexts - used in c.o.'s metaverse they entirely lose their initial intent and function. if we go further and think about 'rhythms', 'melodies' and 'textures' instead of 'voices', we might have a key to c.o.'s self conception. this album should be experienced with all senses wide open.

Helicopter – HEL 42007 Experimental, Musique Concrète, Minimal Robert Turman is an American sound artist best known for his innovative and experimental work in the field of ambient and minimalism. Beginning in the mid/late-1970s, Turman became involved in the world of experimental music, being particularly drawn to the work of minimalist composers such as Steve Reich and Terry Riley, and began to experiment with tape loops and other forms of sound manipulation. Turman’s first solo release, the cassette album “Flux” (1981), is a landmark in ambient and minimalism. Consisting of slowly repeating and evolving sounds, created using a combination of tape loops, piano, electronics, and other instruments, the album is praised for its innovation and atmosphere. It remains a cult classic among experimental music aficionados. Over the next years, Turman continued to record, culminating in the collection “Chapter Eleven”, an 8x cassette boxset recorded 1977–87 and reissued as a 4x CD set in 2020 by Hanson Records and Helicopter. These recordings further established Turman’s reputation as a monumental figure, and helped to inspire a new generation of experimentation. Remaining a considerable influence, Turman has always been committed to the spirit of exploration that has characterized his work from the beginning. He can be heard in the work of countless artists working in the field of experimental music, and his legacy as a pioneer of experimental music is assured. He currently lives in Oberlin, Ohio. John Wiese is a sound artist and composer based in Cleveland, Ohio and Los Angeles, California. He is known for his unique and innovative approach to sound and his ability to create complex, layered compositions that blur all boundaries. Wiese’s early recordings incorporated elements of cut-up/collage, musique concrete, and electronics. He often used unconventional sources to create chaotic, improvised compositions. As he developed as a composer and performer, Wiese began to incorporate more electronic and processed elements into his work, creating intricate, multilayered works that retained the rawness, precision, and complexity. Turman and Wiese’s approach to composition is both experimental and post-improvisational. Building on a particular sound or texture, and using a variety of modifications to the sound, a process of constant experimentation and exploration into new possibilities allows their collaboration to evolve and develop in unexpected ways throughout. Together, they continue to create immersive and otherworldly paths that challenge our perceptions of space, time, and reality. https://youtu.be/ZPehUPcLZmI?si=-ZjQl1egNneBTj2n
