Simon has collaborated with a number of instrumental rock and improvised music groups, and has accompanied pop artists such as Québec’s French pop duet Tricot Machine and Halifax’s spooky folk duo, Ghost Bees. He is now a member of Ferriswheel with Torngat's multi-instrumentalist Mathieu Charbonneau, as well as Toronto’s haunted blues-folk group Timber Timbre.
Together they released two excellent EPs on 12rec ("... et retrouve en foret" and "Objet abandonne en mer") and in August 2009, during the Sound Travels Festival in Toronto, they performed an improvisation gig in a market fresh during the day and this one-track EP is the recording of that show.

Because of its improvisational nature this EP is deeply different from everything you already heard from them.
The perfect mix of guitar melodies and electronic sounds which was the trademark of their previous songs it's here expanded and dilated into a unique fluxes.
The brilliant combination is still there, but this 19 minutes long recording shows a very different approach to the sound and leaves more space to experimentation and sound design.

"I composed this album "nostalghia" after being inspired by several transparency films my grandmother had left me. The films were taken in 1967 during her travels in Britain, France, Italy, Denmark, Germany, the Soviet Union, USA and so on. She had rarely told me about her travels, (I am not sure why), except for a few funny stories. Nostalghia is the process of my efforts through composition in approaching a memory embraced in those film. The image of this album was designed by my partner Natsuko Yanagimoto (a vocalist of "Rimacona", she is also a photo-based artist). She designs with an unique method; scanning the films, printing them on cloths or papers, sewing them and re-scanning. Some of tunes within this album have been used in contemporary dance performance."

If you liked Cesura, Marihiko's debut album on Zymogen, we really recommend you to listen to Nostalghia. The album is available on Boomkat, iTunes, Amazon and eMusic.

The Sky diary Edits album was a great success and turned out as one of the most elaborate projects carried out at this place ever.
On december 26th Fred Baty aka Crepusculum released his new album Sing on in Silhouettes on 12rec. The album is available for free download and we really recommend you to make yourself a gift. This is what our friends at 12rec have to say about it:

"Fred brings to perfection what was his trademark ever since. Kitsch and emotional weight, musical craftmanship and a self-taught comprehension in harmonics setting apart Crepusculum from all guitar music you might have heard before."

All the best for 2010!]]> Sat, 02 Jan 2010 11:23:33 GMT http://www.zymogen.net/releases/zym024/ Tilman Ehrhorn known for his releases on Mille Plateaux and Resopal Schallware.
Working full time as saxophone and reed player, composer, producer and sound designer Tilman Ehrhorn is a highly regarded jazz artist who also took roots in the electronic world.

This release introduces an experimental and ambientish dubby side of his producing skills.
In many parts of the tracks, beats are used rhythmically free to interrupt a pulsing soundpad, which is a main element of the music. Some minimal changing figures are taking hold to break up continous sequential patterns. The non-conventional manner of generating sounds as well as using elements of chance within the production process creates similarities with the improvisational niveau of jazz and contemporary composed music.

"From the 8th to the 11th of October 2009, Netaudio Berlin will be gathering the international netaudio community for a four-day music and conference festival in Berlin, under the title “East meets West”. 2009 will mark the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Iron Curtain. We recall pictures of hands reaching out to pull people from both sides up onto the Berlin wall. The event will take place at Maria, a venue situated immediately on the former Berlin ‘death strip’ once dividing the city and the world into eastern and western hemispheres." ]]> Thu, 08 Oct 2009 15:27:05 GMT http://www.zymogen.net/releases/zym023/ The EP "Sids apartment" on Rainmusic has been one of Zymogen's favourite album of 2008 and we luckily got in touch with him to plan the re-release of "1123581321345589". Previously released in 50 copies on a small american CD-r label.

"1123581321345589" is a concept album on the Fibonacci numbers. Oskar writes:

"I'm interested in numbers, and I'm interested in failuers. Fibonacci tried to make a number sequence that would show how a population of rabbits grew. Turns out his number sequence is worhless if you try to show how a rabbit population grows - BUT he unwillingly discovered something far more interesting. Turns out that the Fibonacci numbers appear everywhere in nature, in the proportion of our bodies, in the way that sunflowers organize there seeds, in the way branches grow on a tree and the way leafs grow on the branches, in the way eagles fly towards their preys - everywhere. The Fibonacci numbers are the closest we've got to mathematicly understand the laws by wich our world is created."
