Angoisse Magazine is a three-piece instrumental group based out of Paris. Its members, Aurelien Fradagrada, Marius Atherton and Danny Kendrick, created the project through a series of improvisational recording sessions at an apartment in Belleville. Noise and velvet grooves, somewhere between psychedelia and surrealism, Angoisse Magazine creates images of high-speed chases or a slow free falls. Resolutely minimalist, one could best describe their music as an original soundtrack to a blurry film, forgotten in a closet, eaten away by time and mites. Angoisse Magazine works with sound like a joyous, unstable object. A worrying superposition of viscous textures, dirty samples, a dry and precise rhythmic flow and melodies melted in space. The shows tell a story, not one of Melody Nelson, but one of her cousin who doesn’t ride bikes and who doesn’t fall in love with the first alcoholic that runs her over with his car. It is a unique assembly of evolving and abstract images. A meditative experience with rock energy, sometimes even melancholic.
The solo project of Oakland-based experimental violinist and composer Shaina Pan, sachi’s mirror serves as a vehicle for the classically trained musician to explore ambient, avant-garde and art pop terrain.
Sachi’s Mirror has returned with room to receive, an EP. “Across five tracks, Pan explores the sonic capabilities of her instrument, melding violin with synthesizers, field recordings, and voice to craft icy-hot string textures, crepuscular melodies, and pulsing emotional undercurrents. An alchemy of ambient vignettes, dreamy exotica, avant-garde classical composition, and art-pop sensibilities, room to receive reimagines a closed door as a shining portal.” - Various Small Flames
