Low Culture Essay: Robert Barry on the Sea Organ at Zadar
Robert Barry travels to the Croatian coast, where the Adriatic Sea plays the pipes of an installation that gives lie to the idea that sound art is "difficult" The Sea Organ in Zadar, Croatia, by dronepicr. Via Wikimedia Commons If you walk north up the Nova Riva on Zadar’s Adriatic waterside, you will start to hear a hum. It is not attributable to any passing traffic or any of the idling cruise ships up at the headland. The tone is deeper than that, warmer and rounder, less fuzzy. Come a little further along, following the line of trees which separate the promenade off from the road, past a copse of broad white umbrellas marking the territory of a seaside cafe spilling out...

Quiet Chaos : A World of Bodies on Fire by Tony Njoku
Eschewing his former maximalist approach to music making, Tony Njoku’s new EP sounds like a complete reset, where he rediscovers his voice and lets go of frustration through meditations for synth and piano Photo credit: Alex Kozobolis. A World of Bodies on Fire begins with fingers clacking on the keys, figuring out a thought.

British-Nigerian composer, producer and performer Tony Njoku started making music that way – hunched over a laptop, or teaching himself piano. Many expressions of creativity begin as a search. Through a handful of albums and scrappy EPs, his discography has retained... The post Quiet Chaos : A World of Bodies on Fire by Tony Njoku appeared first on The Quietus .
Bolka – Schwarzkopf
Bolka Schwarzkopf Post-modern dada-folk love songs from rural Central and Eastern Europe schwarzkopf by Bolka Matúš Kobolka is one of the most distinctive figures on the Bratislava experimental scene. Before he began recording songs, he worked primarily as an academic composer and electroacoustic music creator, involved in sound installations, performance art and computer-based improvisation. His early recordings, such as the 2012 split with Jonáš Gruska for the LOM label, showcased an artist interested in microtonal glitches and digital maximalism. Over time, however, Kobolka began to move away from the rigour of experimental music towards something far more unpredictable: songs, humour, genre mutations and the deliberate subversion of technology. Today, his work owes as much to computer music as it does to the cabaret of... The post Bolka – Schwarzkopf appeared first on The Quietus .
