sunn o))) monoliths & dimensions sunn o))) is proud to present their 7th studio album, after 10 years of existence, entitled monoliths & dimensions. the album showcases the core guitar duo - stephen o’malley and greg anderson - incorporating influences from a plethora of guest musicians, bringing the sunn o))) sound to epic new levels. the band also collaborated with composer eyvind kang (notable for his work with john zorn, marc ribot, bill frisell, etc.) on various acoustic ensembles, in addition to the helios fueled electric guitars and basses. key players on the album include australian guitar genius oren ambarchi, enigmatic hungarian vocalist attila csihar (mayhem, tormentor, etc.) and slow music godfather dylan carlson (earth), as well as julian priester (worked with sun ra in the 50s, john coltrane’s african brass band, and herbie hancock’s sextant band) and new-music horn player stuart dempster. there's also an upright bass trio, french & english horns, harp & flute duo, piano, brass, reed & strings ensembles, and a viennese woman's choir led by persian vocal savant jessika kenney. the album is not "sunn o))) with strings" or "metal meets orchestra" material. the band took an approach concentrating on more of allusion toward the timbre of feedback and the instruments involved, so the piece is really illusory, beautiful and not entirely linear, stating that the end product is "the most musical piece we’ve done, and also the heaviest, powerful and most abstract set of chords we've laid to tape" the album was recorded and mixed by randall dunn & mell dettmer at various points over the last 2 years. as can be expected the packaging for this album is beautiful and appropriately compliments the audio content. jewel case is sheathed by a velum o-card. expansive 24 page booklet with velum cover and specially coated heavy-weight paper. truly a site to behold! monoliths & dimensions is practice in density, gravity and momentum. maximum volume yields maximum results.

new series framework #8 / daniel menche feral 700 copies limited edition / cd digipack sr322 new series framework an extension of our concrete electronics noise, a brand new mix-up of unusual conceptions of sound material by young unknown composers, well known not-so-young composers and old but clever composers. daniel menche has established himself as a musician with a sense of focus and determination uncharacteristic in a genre known for its randomness and chaotic structure. rather than creating 'noise,' he strives for order and cohesiveness. his presentation of sonic structures is similar to the way a writer depicts a story, an allegory seems to arise, which uses confusion as a symbol for the imaginative process of total sound purity; aural intensity is not a representation of confusion or the chaotic, but a concerted effort to provoke and stimulate the listeners imagination by generating intensely powerful sounds and music. daniel menche's work originates from the idea that there is no restriction to the potential sound sources and especially sonic energy. any sounds -all sounds are used and exploited to create the music. there are absolutely no barriers or biases in what can be used and have been used. self made and recorded sound sources, percussion and instruments are the main emphasis in creating a living and emotional feeling to daniel menche's form of contemporary music. subtle and patient compositions rely on long, dense layers of droning sounds, while abrasive pieces rely on sounds amplified and processed to extreme levels, pushing the full spectrum of frequencies to the most threshold of limits. menche has amassed a sizable discography on some the most discerning independent labels in the world. constantly performing live extensively throughout north america, europe and japan with performances that are intense and powerful. characterized as both extremely loud and patiently subtle, daniel menche's live performances define its own sonic presence, an entity that gives form to an emotional rawness with highly textural and dominating sounds. characterized by forcefulness of sound, music that strives for one goal: vehement beauty.
