DMC (or Denis Mac Carty, member of the H.A.K. collective) and Kecap Tilil (one half of the band Pura Sombar) have never met in real life, but when Kecap Tilil heard a mixtape of DMC (using his special turntable and “prepared” records) he felt like to work on it, adding overdubs of different strings & winds instruments and sounds of unknown (to us) origins…

Kecap Tuyul was invited to play live with the Crash Duo (Anton Mobin (prepared chamber, tapes) and Ayato (prepared guitar, tapes)) on september 30, for the Aperaudio show curated by Radio Campus Orléans. This totally improvised session was recorded and the 3 performers found it interesting enough to get a release (no edits have been made), available in wav, flac, ogg and mp3, with artwork by Anton Mobin

Eg0cide welcomes the first official release of Poland-based dark ambient project Sithwomb with a short minimalist and mysterious drone…
Description by the artist : “Sithwomb is a Star Wars-themed experimental dark ambient project, a bit inspired by John Williams and Jeremy Soule, revolving around Sith and Dark Side themes. “Maw” was supposed to be a dark, meditative, contemplative piece – like a Sith Lord meditating on his ship and beholding the Maw – a deadly part of the Star Wars galaxy were numerous black holes dwell.
With special thanks to Suonho”

Le brûle-cendres is Kecap Tuyul first solo release (under this moniker). It is made of 2 tracks that were improvised and recorded in kt’s bedroom studio on prepared guitar (with e-bow sometimes) in september 2011. No plans, no structures, no looper, no edits, no overdubs…
An untitled track submitted by (an) anonymous contributor(s).
It is available n wav (recommended) and other formats. As always, feel free to burn, copy, share it, but please don’t put any name or title on it – thanks.
Autum will come soon, perfect time to listen to the delicate and melancholic drones of Ars Sonor (who also created the artwork) & Meklabor : a well titled EP inhabited by trembling lights and whispering winds : Box of Matches (featuring also flute sounds by Mystified on the 1st track)
Ars Sonor is an alias of Laetitia Schteinberg, a sound artist and photo enthusiast currently living in Sweden. She started making experimental soundscapes in 2003 using laptop and MIDI controller under the name Autosomal. Finally, in 2010, Autosomal became a group and Laetitia left the project in 2011, since that time working alone under the name Ars Sonor. The music of Ars Sonor is very diverse, spanning ambient, drone, dark dub and industrial.
Meklabor is an alias of D.Vlasov, an experimental artist from Russia and experienced bagpiper. His music is spanning syncretic folk, rhythmic noise and ambient
Sound alchemist CDRX is back on eg0cide with a new experimental soundscape. A great mental trip to listen in the dark.

When Ayato first listened to Stillborn Ghosts‘ double album “over & out” (released in 2009 by Svartgalgh) he immediately detected a dark dub potential in this weird mixture of post-noise-rock, dark ambient and industrial. So he asked to a member of the band – his friend & collaborator The Ghost Between The Strings – a copy of the original tracks of the album in order to do some remixes. In addition to 4 remixes, he composed new tracks using raw guitar recordings by the 2 members of the band (TGBTS & Stillborn Blues). The result can be considered as a completely new album : Stillborn Dub (and maybe even a new band, since the collaboration is going on…
The album is available as a free download from Treetrunk Records but you can also buy a CD-R version for 5 euros (excluding postage) from Eg0cide Productions. If interested, please write to tgbts0(at)gmail.com to order a copy

Subject: The birth of a new genre?
Not sure how I overlooked TGBTS until now- seeing that they have multiple releases– but I’m so very happy to find this recording.
It has a little bit of everything– (just like the description says) a “weird mixture of post-noise-rock, dark ambient and industrial”
Yes- it’s experimental… Yes- it can be very unsettling… chaotic and disastrous at times, and dark as midnight…
A great production that paints a picture of buildings collapsing into black oceans of churning restless water, crackling old radios hissing out dead songs, the sinister shadow creature just around the corner, and blue-grey TV static with its own wicked consciousness- you never know what will happen next- other than that it will leave you with a creepy feeling as though you’ve just somehow been sonically molested.
This release sets a new standard for the term “Dark Psychedelia”– and you should give it a listen. Thanks for making music of this caliber available for free.
Will definitely be checking out your other work!
Cheers!

Subject: “The Stillborn Dub” stride on a time to drift back. .
The power of a style is, may be, to develop itself across all, taking a stream end make it stronger….What is the part of the shadow when light is scarce? How to render it more deeper? How play with discord to make appear harmonic lines ? Ayato & the Ghosts drew a highway rhythm, putting points of light all along, raising abstract and scary shapes, chime out a guitar chord…..The Stillborn Dub stride on a time to drift back.
———–
La puissance d’un style est, peut-être, de pouvoir se développer dans n’importe lequel, prendre un flux et le rendre plus fort …. Quelle est la part d’ombre quand la lumière est rare? Comment la rendre plus profonde ? Comment jouer avec la discorde pour faire apparaître les lignes harmoniques?
Ayato & the Ghosts ont dessiné une autoroute-rythme, mettant des points de lumière tout le long, soulevant des formes abstraites et effrayantes, égrènent un accord de guitare …..The Stillborn Dub arpente un temps de dérive vers l’arrière.
Eg0cide Productions has recently been contacted by drone artist Omutt who submitted an album that he had previously self-released. We immediately found that this music really deserved more exposure, so we are glad to include Sidan Av Ensamhetand in our collection. We also hope to hear more from this projet soon…
A short presentation by the artist himself : “Omutt was founded in 2007, was published several times under different names (Altar Of Sorrow, Dime [Drone]) on Russian labels and net-labels. “Sidan Av Ensamhetand” was recorded in the period from January to April 2011. On this album I tried to do a variety of tracks of ambient/experimental/noise. This work is devoted to one girl who did the cover for this release and track titles offered in Swedish. I tried to express some mood of late winter, different moods. I used field-recordings, a bit of radionoise, bells, and more.”

Back from a short tour in USA, the anonymous canadian drone collective Digital Mass has created a sequel to a previous long-from drone The Murk, (already released by Eg0cide last year). Bleaker, colder than the 1st issue, this new track is like a slow descent into some unknown caverns. Minimalist dark ambient at its best
