a kind of very interesting record from <<Aux Luna>>, surely for the story of that's behind, quoting the artist's words: "(...) I found a large cardboard box that seemed to have no connection with my family. Amongst innumerable ephemara concerning the supernatural (books, magazines and so on) was some obscure brand of cassette tape with the single word “Hannah” written on them. The cassettes had music on them but they were not pre-recorded"  
I invite you to discover the rest. really haunting

 0. name of the band
Aux Luna
1. where are you from?
England
2. what kind of instruments/equipment you use? do you use some particular record technique? which is your method of composition?
I found an old box in my parents' attic which contained some old cassettes of someone playing a Spanish guitar. Using Logic I made loops out of the recordings and added other found sounds from old television and radio programmes. Each album is based on a theme. The first release is based around poltergeists because in the box there were a lot of magazines and books about strange and supernatural phenomena.

another great release of Brazilian label Meia-Vida. <Devastaçã> is a dark lp by <<Buraco Negro>> that is full of best elements of experimental music. makes me think what would happen if SPK would meet Cabaret Voltaire in 2016. absolute love
0. name of the band

PEDRO: Buraco Negro. It means Black Hole in Portuguese. We were having issues deciding the bands name and our concert was just by the weekend. I aways wanted to have a band after this name and it sort of came up in this urgency.

1. where are you from?

PEDRO We're both from the southern region in Brazil. I'm from São Paulo. Gustavo's from Curitiba. Our cities are about a six hour drive apart. We met when my other band Gattopardo went touring South Brazil and got closer as Gustavo's projects came to São Paulo for concerts.

Echos from underground/V.A. - Noise Cave na Žižkovské noci 2016

<<Noise cave>> is a compilation of international experimental artists released in occasion of Prague festival Žižkovská Noc on March 19th 2016.  
6 tracks proposed by Phaerentz, Astrální hlemýžď feat. Cicero, Uncle Grasha's Flying Circus, Kikiriki, Eine Stunde Merzbauten (Alles Gute Madhausen)  and The Prostory Revival are a tasty set of smashed sounds. Surely worth to deepen these czech noise scene that is of the most interesting cultural ferments of last years. In fact soon we gonna see another noise festival in Prague, the 5th edition of Pravekfest. More info here.

dark noise from Brazil. <<Flores Feias>> is an outstanding project that last year gave a life to this wonderful album. 

0. name of the band

Flores Feias (means Ugly Flowers in portuguese)

1. where are you from?

I'm from a city called Curitiba, in the south of Brazil.

2. what kind of instruments/equipment you use? do you use some particular record technique? which is your method of composition?

I mainly use guitar and pedals (reverb, distortion, chorus, flanger, wah-wah and delay). I usually record in cassette, experimenting with the tape texture, wear and feedback. My composition as Flores Feias is very intuitive and simple. I try to ritualize the moments by repetition, dark frequencies and fluid voice. My lyrics are about to be declassed and magic in this colapsing society, so I let those feelings come lo-fi and punk.
