fonal press release...

dolphins into the future ...on sea-faring isolation fonal cd  dolphins into the future is one lieven martens, a belgian currently living in the azores, who has since 2007 steadily released a number of albums, ep’s, 7”s and tapes on a variety of hip and homespun labels. 28th march sees the long-awaited cd release of dolphins into the future’s acclaimed cult 2009 lp ‘…on sea-faring isolation’, an album previously released on cassette by martens’ own label, cetacean nation, and on vinyl by not not fun. in addition to the original tracklisting, the fonal re-issue includes a 15 minute bonus track ‘various possible notes and timbres of the mental unit molecule’, recorded in 2011 on okapoka island. often mentioned in the same breath as contemporaries skaters or oneohtrix point never, dolphin’s vision is as smudged and somnambulant, but very much of itself. amorphous and carefully framed, martens’ sound landscapes place field recordings and lo-fi instrumentation on a democratic plane, to create one seamless mass of bubbling percussive flow. but if martens taps into a pool of tropical references (as he undoubtedly does), such influences are relayed from an unashamedly outside perspective - a deliberate refraction of nature, a re-imagined idyll, that shows him to be as close in spirit to the romantics, or perhaps even film maker jean painlevé’s surreal take on aquatic life.

kemialliset ystävät ullakkopalo format: cd total length: 44 minutes catalogue number: fr-69 released: 30.8.2010 jan anderzén is one of the few finnish musicians to achieve renown on the international experimental circuit. in the case of anderzén (who also plies a trade as a visual artist), this is not a matter of juxtaposition between the experimental and the mainstream, or a calculated career choice. using music and images, he is busy creating a world that is a law unto itself, a world of exceptional freedom and beauty. ky albums have been peppered with contributions from individuals such as islaja, the members of avarus, and sami sänpäkkilä. it’s not easy to tell who plays what on kemialliset ystävät recordings. rather than being a project consisting of solo parts, the band is an eco-system within anderzén’s reality. one of the essential techniques applied by anderzén is collage, in sound as well as image. he is no conventional instrumental virtuoso; his music is created with a fluctuating array of instruments and equipment. the focus is less on instrumental prowess and more on the overall sound and impression, as well as the tension between the various materials. as a manipulator of these elements, anderzén is in a league of his own. his sampler based solo performances as tomutonttu have left no doubt about that. a close listening of anderzén’s music reveals its near architectonic precision. he is known for an exceptionally painstaking approach to creating his music. all this hard work is readily evident in the finished product, not as an over-emphasised complexity but as a clearly independent fully realised vision. kemialliset ystävät is like a natural phenomenon. it is difficult to imagine anyone having consciously constructed it, such is the ease with which it presents itself to us. to be in the presence of anderzen’s work is captivating in the same way it is to stare into the fire – simple, yet inexplicable. it truly takes a master to create such an experience, but listening to the new kemialliset ystävät album evokes just that: a feeling of lightness. - kimmo modig

tv-resistori serkut rakastaa paremmin fonal format: lp total lenght: 33 minutes. catalogue number: fr-44lp released: finland 5.12.07 wordwide 12.12.2007 tv-resistori's debut album came out in 2004. with their childlike melodies and cheezy synthesizer tunes names like stereolab, raymond scott, karkkiautomaatti and mouse on mars might pop up. if fonal ever has a hit single it might very well come from tv-resistori. yrjö's and päivi's male/female vocal duets have become more and more the center of the songs. now with the apt record engineering skills of the drummer aleksi they have truly found their own sound tv-resistori will release their follow up “serkut rakastaa paremmin” (translates as cousins love better).
