<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The collaborative album &#8220;Pennine&#8221; by Xqui and Dead Voices On Air will be released on July 25, 2023 through Re:Mission Entertainment, a label based in Oklahoma City. This marks the first collaboration between Re:Mission Entertainment and eMERGENGY heARTS, a label from Austin, Texas.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For those unfamiliar with the geography of England, the Pennines is a range of upland hills that run through various counties including Yorkshire and Lancashire. These hills are characterized by deep valleys and have played a significant role in shaping the country&#8217;s landscape, particularly during the industrial revolution when towns and cities emerged with chimneys, mills, and railway viaducts.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Xqui resides in Lancashire, while Spybey is based in Yorkshire, establishing a natural connection between them.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Since entering the &#8220;no underground&#8221; scene in April 2018, Xqui has gained recognition as an innovative and prolific artist, drawing comparisons to Eno, Basinski, and Mansell. Using a mobile phone, Xqui captures field recordings which are then manipulated using apps and combined with found sound clips to create his tracks. Xqui has garnered attention from peers and collaborated with notable artists such as Vince Clarke, Neil Arthur, and Mark Stewart.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Dead Voices on Air, also known as Mark Spybey, has continued his musical journey since his time with Zoviet-France in the 1980s and later as a member of Download. With over 90 releases to his name, Spybey has collaborated with musicians like Graham Lewis of Wire, Michael Karoli of Can, Faust, Robert Hampson, Simon Fisher Turner, and many others. After residing in Vancouver, he has returned to his hometown in the north of England. In recent years, Spybey has released his work through Emergency Hearts, a label based in Austin, Texas, featuring albums and remixes with artists such as Lee Scratch Perry, Mark Stewart, Coil, Corporate Uncle, and Muzlimgauze.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">&#8220;Pennine&#8221; was produced between March and April 2023 in Lancashire and North Yorkshire, and it consists of seven tracks.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Below, you can listen to a preview of one of the tracks from the album and explore the various merchandise items available with this release.</p>

My job? Strip out the promo nonsense, verify what’s actually real, and decide which stories make the cut and which get tossed into the digital void. Outside the news filter bubble, I’m all in for quality sushi and helping raise funds for Ukraine’s ongoing fight against the modern-day axis of evil. Besides music I&#8217;m also an SEO and AI content flow specialist and have an interest in everything finance from stocks to crypto. There is music in everything!</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Out via Cold Spring on November 4th is a re-release of the debut album from Dead Voices On Air (Mark Spybey of Download/ex-Zoviet France, Reformed Faction), featuring cEvin Key (Skinny Puppy/Download).</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The original release &#8220;Abrader&#8221; (1994) blends processed sounds from primitive instruments and found objects into hypnotic looped rhythmic structures, with dark clusters of heavy ambient. It was the first ever of over 80 releases (so far) by Mark Spybey using the name Dead Voices On Air.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">&#8220;Abrader Redux&#8221; features the three lengthy tracks that were released on the original cassette, plus the bonus tracks that were included in the 2009 reprint as part of a double CD, and now with two &#8216;new&#8217; previously-unreleased bonus tracks.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Dead Voices On Air was formed in 1992 when Mark Spybey emigrated to Canada from his native England. Dead Voices On Air was mostly a solo project of Mark Spybey for a long time, expanding to the band only several times before, but since 2020 it&#8217;s officially a full band including Mark Spybey, Lori Cole, Marko Roberti and Anatoly Grinberg.</p>

Outside the news filter bubble, I’m all in for quality sushi and helping raise funds for Ukraine’s ongoing fight against the modern-day axis of evil.

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Out on December 14th <a href="https://remissionentertainment.bandcamp.com/album/the-camel-corps-and-other-stories" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">via Re:Mission Entertainment</a> is the album &#8220;The Camel Corps and Other Stories&#8221; by the experimental / industrial duo Jochen Arbeit and Mark Spybey. You will know Jochen Arbeit from his work with Einstürzende Neubauten and Automat, while Mark Spybey has been active with Dead Voices On Air and Download. Among others that is.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Mark was introduced to Jochen via Robin Rimbaud of Scanner. Mark then invited Jochen to contribute to a collaborative project whereby he teamed with various friends to create a number of 7 inch singles. The single was never released but the pair enjoyed the experience enough to go on to record enough material for a full length album.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">That was back in 2011. Ten years elapsed before they talked about releasing it.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Mark explains: <em>&#8220;Ten years seems like a lot of time and I guess it is. I can recall that we felt that the best way of finishing the album was for me to either send Jochen the project files so that he might do some of the finished mixes or that, preferably, I go to Berlin to spend time with him finishing up the project. In the end I guess life and experiences just took over and we didn’t manage to get together. Earlier this year I listened to the mixes, which I really liked and sent them to Jochen with a suggestion that we release the album, as is. Thankfully he agreed!&#8221;</em></p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Most of the material on &#8220;The Camel Corps and Other Stories&#8221; was assembled from sounds that Jochen sent to Mark: fractured rhythms, and textured processed guitars.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">You can <a href="https://remissionentertainment.bandcamp.com/album/the-camel-corps-and-other-stories" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">pre-order it already on Bandcamp</a>.</p>

Outside the news filter bubble, I’m all in for quality sushi and helping raise funds for Ukraine’s ongoing fight against the modern-day axis of evil.

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Tony D’Oporto aka ‘The Gnome’ (involved with Suffering For Kisses, Crisis Actor…) and Mark Spybey (ex-Zoviet France and involved with projects like Dead Voices On Air, Beehatch, Solaris…) started working together in 2009. Albums got released on Tourette Records and Crime League. It took them seven years to release their seventh album “The Seventh Seal”. This work released by Ant-Zen is mixing elements of Ambient-, Minimal-Electronic and Cinematographic music together. It also sounds as the most accomplished work by the duo; an accessible Experimental production, but also a visionary Ambient work. I got in touch with both protagonists.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">(Courtesy by <a rel="noreferrer noopener" href="http://www.facebook.com/InfernoSoundDiaries" target="_blank">Inferno Sound Diaries</a>)  </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Q: By the exception of the compilation “Collective” released in 2019, “The Seventh Seal” is your first new studio album in seven years. How do you explain this hiatus and what incited and inspired you to work on new stuff together? </strong><strong></strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Mark: I wasn’t really aware of the hiatus to be honest, we are not a typical band, whatever that may mean! We just do things, usually when the Gnome asks me to do something. Gnome sends me music and I listen to it and respond. I’m not a fan of concepts, so for me this project is all about making music together with a friend. Sometimes Tony will say something to me like, ‘more vocals,’ or ‘no drums.’ He’s a Gnome of few words. I like the music that Tony sends to me, I like the fact that it is minimal, compact and well composed. It gives me a free hand to add sounds, to edit and when the mood takes me to add words. In this case, the mood took me and I likely did more vocals than usual. I feel like I need to act with a careful hand working with Tony’s sounds because they sound pretty perfect.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Tony: Both Mark and I have other projects going on that keep us quite busy. As he said, we are not really a band nor do we stick to any format. This music just kind of happens… as it has from the first song we wrote together.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Q: What’s the link between the title of the album and the legendary movie by Ingmar Bergman “The Seventh Seal”? Can you tell us a bit more about the ideas and lyrical content hiding behind this work? </strong><strong></strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Mark: There isn’t really that much of a link I’m afraid. It’s our seventh album. When I started to think of a sleeve I remembered the classic image from the Bergman film and thought we might try and recreate it. It didn’t happen! Actually, I think the title more likely came from a song by Aphrodites Child, “The Four Horsemen”, a song I love from the early 70’s that featured the unlikely pairing of Demis Roussos and Vangelis.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">We recorded this during the height of the first lockdown, so my thoughts were perhaps inspired somewhat by that time. Likely represented best with the song title, “Cancel Your Tomorrows.” I think the principle source of anxiety for me during that time was the ‘I don’t know what is going to happen tomorrow’, kind of feeling. Thankfully that didn’t stay around for too long before it was replaced by a ‘I know what is going to happen, because the Politicians are going to make a huge mess that will take forever and a day to clean up.’</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I also think there is a glimmer of optimism in the lyrics too. “To Be The Sun In Flight”, for example is likely as close as I have got to writing a happy song. I’m a generally happy person I should add. I love colour, flowers, birds and the sun.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Q: The album has been introduced as ‘a departure from your previous work’. Do you recognize this departure and is it rather intentional or just a natural process/evolution? What makes this album different from previous productions? </strong><strong></strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Mark: I think it is a departure, but only because it features more ‘songs with words.’ I was also influenced by the choice of equipment I had. I’d bought a few really nice vocal processors that I have chained together, which I used to create double voices and harmonies. That was a bit of a breakthrough moment for me.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Q. I personally experienced “The Seventh Seal” as a true accomplishment; kind of visionary Ambient-Electro. How do you consider this work and what kind of album did you want to compose? How do you perceive Gnome &amp; Spybey as a music project –and especially compared to your other music projects? </strong><strong></strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Mark: Thank you, that’s most kind of you. I do feel proud of this release. I think it stands tall, taller than the Gnome anyway! I think it plays well as an album, there’s a flow to it. I also think that there are about three songs on it that I’d consider to be some of our best work.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As I said earlier, maybe one of the advantages of this project is that it isn’t really governed by needs or rules. We don’t need to make more records, we likely will. We don’t have to play live, I hope we will. We don’t have to cater to a label’s demands and we don’t really know what the audience needs or wants. We don’t necessarily like the same kind of music. We’re different and tolerant enough to create and manage a bit of tension when it comes round to making music together. I think that helps. I’m only involved in 2 or 3 projects like this, that have a number of releases and a shared history and most seem to work in a similar way. We initiate contact when we want or need to and don’t really have a plan. That’s how I like it.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Tony: Mostly everything I do has a very conventional format. I am a big fan of structure. Working with Mark gives me a chance to step out of that box and do something a little more experimental. We both come from totally different perspectives and influences when it comes to music. I think this makes for an interesting combination.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Q: What’s your way of composing music together? Who’s doing what and what are the different stages to achieve an album? </strong><strong></strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Mark: As I said earlier Tony sends me some tracks, as separated stems. I listen, sometimes edit and usually add other sounds. If the music calls for vocals I’ll write some lyrics, or sing along until I have a melody. Often I’ll make up lyrics on the fly that are pretty rubbish, record them and then re-write them, if you get my drift. I am not sure I can recall if Tony has ever gone&nbsp; on to rework my ‘finished,’ songs but I do know he will occasionally suggest changes. Sometimes that can go on a bit!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I also think mastering is really important, and we always use the same guy now, my friend Anatoly Grinberg from Moscow. He’s really got a very good ear. Sometimes Tony and I agree to disagree. He might like some songs more than me and vice versa. Usually I feel pretty good about that. At the end of the day, we’re in the game of creating something as a duo and I’m happy to make compromises. Usually! Working for andwith Ant-Zen has also added something too. They have such a strong visual and graphic identity as a label.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Tony: I usually just doodle and come up with weird sounds and/or melodic riffs. I’ll put together some sort of song structure with it then send it over to Mark to complete. It’s gone that way most of the time. He usually takes quite a bit of time, so when he finishes it I generally do not even remember what I did anymore!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Q: What makes the chemistry between both of you? And what do you especially like in each other’s work and approach in composing music? </strong><strong></strong></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Mark: Fear and loathing in equal measures. No, I’m joking, it’s actually care and respect. I care for Tony and respect his work. We’ve had a few adventures together and we’ve maintained our friendship despite the fact that it must be nearly 10 years ago since we last saw each other in person. He may have grown a little since then. I’ve certainly grown older.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Tony’s work is for me an important reminder that there is infinite possibility in making the most of limited resources. That’s been a kind of mantra of mine over the years. I appropriate sources, I am not a slave to technology. I’m not interested in wires and buttons. I just make the most of whatever is at hand.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Tony’s compositions are clear and defined. I love his sense of tonality and his ability to ‘paint’ something using as few brush strokes as possible. I think that this is his gift, and I am not sure I know of too many other people who can do this. He’s a minimal composer and I regard that as a great compliment.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Tony: Mark is the only person I have ever had a successful long term collaboration with. In general, I like doing things on my own and directing other people what to do.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I think the way we compose music together over long periods of time, from a distance with very little fuss is what makes it work. We do not need to discuss it much. Like previously stated, it just sort of happens…</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Genre/Influences: </strong>Experimental, Cinematographic, Minimal-Electro.</p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="alignleft"><img decoding="async" src="https://www.side-line.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Gnome-Spybey-150x150.jpg" alt=""/></figure></div>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Format: </strong>Digital.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Background/Info: </strong>This work is the seventh studio album by the duo Tony D’Oporto (Gnome) – Mark Spybey (Dead Voices On Air, ex-Zoviet France) while it also is their first new work in seven years.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Content: </strong>The album features 6 songs, which bring us back to the familiar influences from this project. Cinematographic atmospheres have been mixed with delicate piano parts while other songs reveal a more Minimal-Electro approach, which has something vintage-like. The main change –or evolution, with previous works is the addition of ghost-like, half-spoken produced vocal lines.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>+ + +&nbsp;: </strong>This album is without a shadow of a doubt my favorite work by Gnome &amp; Spybey. It remains a mysterious trip covering different influences, but the global work sounds more accessible. It however remains an intimate work accentuated by great sonic atmospheres and brilliant Electronic treatments. The analogue-like sound effects on “Born To Fly” have something magic. More ‘classical’ cuts like “To Be The Sun In Flight” and “Long And Short” are more for cinematic lovers, but I especially like the global progression mixed with delicacy of both cuts.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>&#8211; &#8211; &#8211;&nbsp;: </strong>Both last cuts are a little less convincing so the climax of the album appears right at the beginning.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Conclusion: </strong>This is an astonishing return for Gnome &amp; Spybey; somewhere in between accessible Experimental music and visionary Ambient work.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Best songs:</strong> “Born To Fly”,&nbsp; “To Be The Sun In Flight”, “Long And Short”, “Cancel Your Tomorrow”.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Rate: </strong>8.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">&#8220;Dead Voices On Air : Snowbeasts&#8221; is the newest album by the dark ambient acts Dead Voices On Air and Snowbeasts. For those who might have forgotten, Dead Voices on Air is Mark Spybey&#8217;s experimental and industrial project formed after his departure from Zoviet France. Dead Voices on Air has collaborated with artists such as Not Breathing and cEvin Key of Skinny Puppy.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But back to the joined effort which started out when Dead Voices On Air&#8217;s Mark Spybey &#8211; who played at a festival in Providence RI &#8211; was helped out by Rob Galbraith from the band Snowbeasts. He drove Mark back to Boston to catch his flight home. It resulted in Rob and Mark eventually talking about working together.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">During the first Covid lockdown, in the summer of 2020, the duo started working on a new Dead Voices on Air album. Rob and his partner Beth sent so much music to Mark that when he started to assemble the finished project, he worked out that it was at least a double album’s worth of material. He suggested that the bulk of the work that Rob and Beth had contributed might work as a Dead Voices on Air and Snowbeasts joint CD.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Even the artwork seems to have been a collaborative effort as the band&#8217;s artwork guy Marco Roberti assembled the sleeve for the CD from photographs by Rob, Beth and Mark. The CD was mastered by another member of the Dead Voices on Air family, Anatoly Grinberg from Moscow.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The album is out now via Re:Mission (inlcuding as a limited CD edition of just 100 copies), you can check it below.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Genre/Influences: </strong>Experimental, Cinematographic, Neo-Classic, Glitch.</p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="alignleft"><img decoding="async" src="https://www.side-line.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Anatoly-Grinberg-Mark-Spybey-150x150.jpg" alt=""/></figure></div>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Format: </strong>Digital, Vinyl.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Background/Info: </strong>“The Failure Of Language” is the third album of Russian experimentalist Anatoly ‘Tokee’ Grinberg and British pioneer Mark Spybey (Dead Voices On Air ao). It also is their third work in less than two years.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Content: </strong>Both artists move on exploring Experimental fields, but are still taking care to achieve more accessible, Cinematographic tracks composed with some Neo-Classic elements. The album takes off a rather dreamy way to move on with a strange and ominous Ambient approach. The most Experimental cuts are driving the listener into reminiscences of Glitch. Sometimes intelligent and sometimes feeling as pure improvisation, this album is for sure the most diversified one from the three. The addition of vocals reinforces the accessibility of the album.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>+ + +&nbsp;: </strong>Tokee and Grinberg achieved a sophisticated work, but are taking care to obtain a very accessible result. It’s complex and sometimes hard to seize, but still revealing impressive, anguishing atmospheres. “The Innocents Song” is a great piece illustrating the chemistry between both protagonists. “The Sun Roars” is something different, but even more noticeable for the Experimental style merged with a pure Cinematographic style. From all albums I’ve heard from this duo this is without a shadow of a doubt their best one!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>&#8211; &#8211; &#8211;&nbsp;: </strong>Some Experimental passages are harder to endure and I here refer to a track like “Live Fast”.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Conclusion: </strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Anatoly Grinberg and Mark Spybey seem to have reached a point where they’re much more than simply a side-project; together they’re a real band!</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Best songs: </strong>“The Sun Roars”,“The Innocents Song”, “I Am Lost In The Blinding”.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Rate: </strong>(7½).</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Genre/Influences: </strong>Experimental, Cinematographic.</p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="alignleft"><img decoding="async" src="https://www.side-line.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Western-Creed-Spybey-150x150.jpg" alt=""/></figure></div>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Format: </strong>Digital, CD.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Background/Info: </strong>“W ands” features a collaboration between three artists. Phil Western (Download, Beehatch ao) and Jesse Creed (The Passenger) shared their passion for analogue synths while Mark Spybey (Dead Voices On Air, Download, Beehatch ao) added his own, experimental, improvised touch to the work. But the major aspect of this album is of course that it has been released one year after the tragic loss of Phil Western.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Content: </strong>The album sounds as a dark- and dreamy homage to Western. The music has a very strong Cinematographic appeal inviting the listener to dream away. A song like “Two Of Wands” will hold you in its grip for more than 20 minutes. It slowly progresses throughout a mysterious atmosphere and noisey loops. Other cuts are shorter, but still built up with the same patience. Some tracks sound like the prolongation of the previous one, creating a very compact and homogeneous production.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>+ + +&nbsp;: </strong>The work is supported with mysterious spheres with a strong visual appeal at some passages. But I especially like the inhibited mood hanging over this work. It has something frightening and yet personal. It all sounds a bit like you’re travelling towards the spirit of Phil Western… a supernatural adventure created by the strength of assembled noises and sound.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>&#8211; &#8211; &#8211;&nbsp;: </strong>It remains an album characterized by strong Experimental passages so in the end it’s not exactly the most ‘classical’ Cinematographic opus.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Conclusion: </strong>There where he is Phil Western must be pleased to see his old friends releasing this album.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Best songs: </strong>“Four Of Wands – A Cause For Celebration”, “Five Of Wands – Time To End The Discord And Clear The Air”, “Two Of Wands – New Partnerships And Relationships”.</p>

<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="alignleft"><img decoding="async" src="https://www.side-line.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Anatoly-Grinberg-Mark-Spybey-150x150.jpg" alt=""/></figure></div>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Format: </strong>Digital.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Background/Info: </strong>One year after their first collaborative album “123 m” Russian artist Anatoly Grinberg (Tokee, Massaith ao) joined hands again with British icon Mark Spybey (Dead Voices On Air, Download ao) for a new sonic voyage.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Content: </strong>This new opus features 7 tracks and moves on the cinematographic approach of “123 m”. Globally speaking this element has been even reinforced by some overwhelming, monstrous sound treatments mixed with dark atmospheres. But other passages will make you dream. There clearly is a duality between anguishing tracks and pure evasion. The second part of the work sounds more ‘free styled’, like artists wanted to exorcise a few more ideas. The tracks are more improvised and just as the previous work remind me of a kind of free-jazz style transposed into a more industrial format. I also noticed a kind of childish melodic loop running through another track while the final cut of the album has something pretty disturbing.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>+ + +&nbsp;: </strong>This album is more sophisticated than its predecessor. At one side the cinematic approach has been seriously elaborated revealing an impressive opener (cf. “Gospel Primitives”), but on the other side there also is more space for experimentation. I can’t say “Into The Black Silence Melt” is my favorite cut, but the kind of improvisation makes me think of free-jazz music. But this song is a truly interesting experiment. I prefer the last cut of the work (cf. “The Wren’s Bone”), which moves back into darkness creating some internal fright due to the disturbing sequences.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>&#8211; &#8211; &#8211;&nbsp;: </strong>“The Ost” is the single track that left me unmoved because of its childish melodic loop, which rapidly irritated me.&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Conclusion: </strong>Both artists have renewed their collaborative efforts and definitely appear to be very complementary.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Best songs: </strong>“Gospel Primitives”, “Langeland”, “The Wren’s Bone”.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Genre/Influences: </strong>Experimental,
electro-ambient, cinematographic. </p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="alignleft"><img decoding="async" src="https://www.side-line.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/11/Gnome-Spybey.jpg" alt=""/></figure></div>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Background/Info: </strong>“Collective” is a
compilation featuring twelve songs composed over the years by Tony D’Oporto aka
Gnome and Mark Spybey (Zoviet France, Dead Voices On Air ao). Both artists did
numerous collaborative works so this is an opportunity to re/discover some of their
experiments. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Content: </strong>The sonic universe
of both artists rapidly appears to be a World without compromises and a sonic
platform to exorcize multiple electronic influences. The work is mainly
ambient-like, but always carried by experimental parts, field recordings and
fascinating sound treatments. Some cuts are driven by a slow rhythmic while
others are moving into an abstract ambient sound. The tracks are moving from
music composed among the stars towards pure, and still evasive cinematographic
passages. A few cuts are featuring whispering vocals.&nbsp; </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>+ + +&nbsp;: </strong>The sound of this
duo has something atypical and yet rather familiar for lovers of experimental
music. I like this taste of doing things ‘differently’. The tracks create a
sphere of rest and evasion, which is accentuated by piano parts and
transcendental strings. I like the few cuts featuring spooky, whispering
vocals. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>&#8211; &#8211; &#8211;&nbsp;: </strong>I don’t know if it
is because of the format of this work (compilation), but some cuts don’t sound
in total harmony with other ones. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Conclusion: </strong>“Collective” is an
interesting sonic summary between those two artists. It’s a must have for the
fans and other electro-experimental freaks. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Best songs: </strong>“Achim”, “Atomes”,
“Dreamed Of Being A River”, “The M urmur Of The Rivers&nbsp; Mouth”. </p>

Most of his work has been released on Crime League (the label of Michael Morton also active as Displacer) and consists of productions together with Mark Spybey (Dead Voices On Air, Beehatch, Zoviet France, Download ao). D’Oporto recently set up Crisis Actor together with David Thrussell. “Stillness” is the first Gnome work released on Ant-zen and the 4<sup>th</sup> work in his ‘ambient album collection’.</p>
<p><strong>Content: </strong>“Stillness” invites the listener to move throughout a dreamy, chilling sound universe. It’s not exactly what I would call a relaxing experience as the cold sound treatments and desperate sounding atmospheres are leading the poor listener into a feeling of isolation.</p>
<p><strong>+ + + : </strong>I like the global production of this work, which from a pure technical point of view reveals great stereo effects and multiple little tricks. It’s a cold, meditative expression, which is carried by an intelligent writing. It’s not that complex, but simply featuring outstanding and somewhat mystic space atmospheres.</p>
<p><strong>&#8211; &#8211; &#8211; : </strong>A few cuts are a little bit monotonous, which is the kind of feeling you sometimes can experience when listening to ambient music.</p>
<p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>This work features all kinds of ambient ingredients for dark music lovers. It’s an icy, astral voyage throughout fantasy fields, which would be the perfect soundtrack for a documentary and/or film.</p>
<p><strong>Best songs: </strong>“Flowing”, “Under A Tree”, “New Years Day”.</p>
