 tav exotic

"the man behind Bear Bones, Lay Low and Sylvester Anfang member Ernesto González has a brand new project called Tav Exotic with his friend Mike from Tienen. the duo just released a first sample of the kind of tropical electronics we can expect to hear from them, and needless to say both the music and visuals are quite eye-dilating. perfect sounds to reset your synapses on a sunday morning" subbacultcha

"Mike & I decided to put together (almost) all of our recordings so far of our new project in a massive 90 minute release, divided in two cd-r’s. everything here is improvised and without overdubs (except for the very first track which you can hear on the video below). It’s dancy, it’s noisey, it’s kosmische, it’s stoned and it’s cheap. Tav Exotic style. comes in a double dvd case with full color covers." ernesto gonzález

 the video was made using footage from “Gateways to the Mind” (1958)

 bear bones, lay low ~ vagaciones (young girls, 2012)

“Vagaciones” is a collection of recordings done in my hometown San Antonio de los Altos, Venezuela and in a small village in Spain called Coín during summer 2010 and 2011 respectively. They’re all improvisations done with a minimal set up and recorded onto basic tapedecks. My intention while putting together the material on this tape was to have a more stream of consciousness approach to making music by recording for long periods during the day and documenting every moment of it. The result is a scrapbook of holiday memories contained in a sound carrier. No multi-track overdubs on this one. Editing and echo enhancement on some pieces were done in Brussels around September 2011." ernesto gonzález~bear bones

flauta y agua, sudor mediterráneo, el puente, el árbol y la ventana, con un poco de ssabor, kitchen gamelan, money like water, high... así suena el verano en un pueblecito de Málaga. títulos sugerentes, el viaje como símbolo de experimento sonoro, un cuento de verano musical construído de recuerdos, jugueteos con el ruído y viejas cintas de cassette. Ernesto llega a su particular isla sonora y el resultado es una preciosa combinación de calidez orgánica (chapoteos en el agua, campanas de monasterio, campanillas, muchas campanillas, que suenan como el hielo en un vaso, flautas, cánticos, triángulos, pianos desafinados, radios mal sintonizadas, risas,...) y una de las tonadillas más evocadoras y extrañas que haya escuchado nunca: 'bounce with me'

voodoo mount sister ~ soul sister (winged sun, 2012)

"Voodoo Mount Sister  makes it on tape for the first time. Following 2010 debut cdr on Winged Sun and first vinyl appearance on Hands in the dark records “Soul Sista” is their weird attempt to bring soul music in noise / drone improvisations. Recorded in one session in July 2011 that went in many different directions, from dark kraut to noisy dub to psych dance. The girl is on synths and vocals, the guy is on beats & bass."

annapurna illusion | hellvision ~ split (winged sun, 2012)

A side : Old dusty files from 2009 that sounds like an old babylonian conjuring the spirit deads…Like if the necronomicon book turned into a tape…Heavy organ chords, black mess style.

B side : One night in Belgium. The meting of Annapurna Illusion and Helvette (Glen Steenkiste from Sylvester Anfang II), under the full moon, after a few smokes and a couple of drinks. Two exhausted minds improvising minimal dark drones.

sylvester anfang II ~ commune cassetten (blackest rainbow 2010)

"a new slab of tranced out psychotic psychedelia from the occult loving Belgium based clan. This new incarnation being Sylvester Anfang II reached a new level of awesomeness last year with the incredible double LP on Aurora Borealis, on Commume Cassetten they continue their bizarre trip into the darker, but somehow super psychedelic, realm of the occult obsessed mind. There's a real fucked up krautrock boogie vibe throughout but retaining some of the doomed funeral folk qualities of the original Anfang guise, as well as some loose as hell, total stoned out ritualistic baked grooves..." blackest rainbow

sylvester anfang II ~ untitled cdr3'' (luchtrat 2009)

"How high can the Tree of Wisdom grow? If Sylvester Anfang II is the muse of civilization, then Wisdom will incarnate in a small stump. It makes this psychedelic bunch a modern salvation army.What Sylvester Anfang II has in common with half brother Silvester Anfang is that it is symbolically loaded with the sins of the people of Maldegem and that is has been sent to the big city to meet Azazel. Unless members wear the shirt of sheer evilness, they function as the brotherhood of reconciliation. These shaved goats produce their rituals exclusively on first takes. Every rehearsal is a recording session that wears the seductive dust of free folk music, the spiritual enrichment of acid rock and the razorblade-rawness of protopunk." luchtrat
