    dDamage Title: Shimmy Shimmy Blade Label: Tsunami-Addiction Release date: 6 Novembre 2006 Distribution: Discograph Both Hanak brothers, known under the name of dDamage, play an indescribable electronic music, violent and melodic at the same time, juggling with hip-hop beats, riffs of guitars and heat of analog synths. With tended flow, their music lets appear a rare sensitivity, skilfully camouflaged behind intense “boom tchack” of modern cruelty. After two long years of intense work, these terrible children of the electronic music bring out again from the studios with a fortnight tracks, on which are invited the crême of the independent hip-hop scene. We can find Bigg Jus there (former member of the legendary new Yorkean band Company Flow) and his comparse Orko Eloheim (NMS / Project Blowed) for two on-vitaminized tracks, overloaded of intergalactic synths. Dose One, leader of the bands Subtle and Clouddead, makes his appearance beside the emblematic figures of French hip hop,TTC , in an opera of digital maths-rock. Mike Ladd rewards us with a featuring full of rapologic brick breakage, botching the walls of samples with blows of punchlines with a detonating force. We can also see Tes (Lex Records), feeling at ease on dynamic rock’ n roll, then teletransported in Zapp&Rogers’ talk-box. Also Crunc Tesla, Atlanta’s crunky south based rapper, posing his flow in a war of synthetic violins and vibrating basses. Or Stacs of Stamina, in an exercise of zigzag where the beats take sometimes the shape of anti-personal mines. dDamage leaves then rifles to pump, on the explosive “S.I.N.” track, where the dance is carried out by the rapper Sin, Sizzerb member affiliated with the new Yorkean scene Dipset/Diplomats.

  • Kurve Zur Hymne
    # 2009/46 dschungel https://jungle.world/artikel/2009/46/kurve-zur-hymne Kurve zur Hymne Von Michael Saager <none> Yoni Wolf, Kopf des Trios Why?, ist nicht so übereifrig, wie es auf den ersten Blick ausschaut. Die Veröffentlichung von »Alopecia« liegt zwar erst ein Jahr zurück, und schon gibt es wieder ein neues Album, aber »Eskimo Snow« entpuppt sich dann doch nur als Produkt, das derselben Aufnahmesession entstammt wie »Alopecia«. Das allerdings hört man nicht unbedingt, leider. »Alopecia« verhalf dem Trio aus Cincinnati zum verdienten Durchbruch, weil es griffige Indiepop-Hooklines, fette, immer komplexe Beats und Yoni Wolfs Lyrics zu verbinden wusste. Insbesondere die Ohrwurmqualitäten des Vorgängers vermisst man nun auf »Eskimo Snow« – man muss die Stücke schon einige Male hören, um sich ihre Melodieverläufe merken zu können. Das Fehlen einprägsamer Melodien ist keine Schwäche an sich, fällt aber bei diesem Album umso deutlicher ins Gewicht, als »Eskimo Snow« aus Songs besteht, die dem Indie- Folk nahestehen oder der Psychedelic-Pop-Songwriter-Tradition entspringen. Und weil Produzent Mark Nevers (von Lambchop) der Ansicht war, scharfe Konturen müssten nicht unbedingt sein, wabert »Eskimo Snow« nun über lange Strecken einigermaßen orientierungslos vor sich hin. Glücklicherweise gibt es ein paar Ausnahmen, die so wundervoll sind, dass man die schwachen Stücke gerne verzeiht: Hier kriegt das Mäandernde die Kurve und wird mit assoziativer Selbstverständlichkeit alsbald in einen Re­frain überführt, der hymnischer nicht sein könnte.

  • Thesis Writing Deliverables (Pdf)
    DEFENSE SPEECH Discovering and listening to music has always been my biggest passion in life and my primary way of coping with my emotions. I think its main appeal to me since childhood has been the comfort it brings in knowing that at some point in time, another human felt the same thing as me and was able to survive and express it by making something beautiful. For my project, I recorded a 9 track album called Strange Machines while I was on leave of absence last year. This term, I created a 20 minute extended music video to accompany it. All of this lives on a page I coded on my personal website with some fun bonus content that I’ll scroll through at the end of this presentation. I’ll put the link in the comments so anyone who’s interested can check it out at their own pace. I have so much fun making music and feel proud when I have a cohesive finished product at the end. I’m not interested in becoming a virtuoso musician or a professional producer. A lot of trained musicians gatekeep, intimidate, and discourage amateurs. People mystify and mythologize the creative process as if it’s the product of some elusive, innate genius rather than practice, experimentation, and a simple love of music. As someone who’s work exists entirely as digital recordings, there’s no inherent reason for me to be an amazing guitar player who can play a song perfectly all the way through, as mistakes can be easily cut out and re-recorded.
