/ Rudy Carrera / Leave a comment

New releases from our friends at Silber Records:

Hello,

 Hope all is going well with you.  As mentioned last time the increased feeling of financial stability (if not actual stability) has created a dramatic increase in productivity here at Silber.  The new releases from a couple weeks ago (Chvad SB, Yellow6, & Anda Volley) seem to be getting some attention & that makes it feel like the label is thriving instead of declining.  The weather is hot & the days are long, but things seem good & promising & the future seems unstoppable.

M is We is back with us for an entry in the 5in5 series.  Post punk & proto goth somewhere between Christian Death, The Germs, & Cabaret Voltaire.  Good stuff & only 5 minutes to check out.

Bronze Eye & LD Beghtol collaborated for a 5 minute EP of experimental pop music.  I’m pretty stoked about this EP because the two of them got together because of LD’s 5in5 last year.  Helping artists discover each other & work together has been a goal of Silber from the start, so this is awesome for us.

[Music] Silber Records: New Drone & Sound Experiments from Yellow6, Chvad SB, & Anda Volley

/ Rudy Carrera / Leave a comment

From our friends at Silber Media:

Hello,

I hope you are doing well.  Things are going well in Silberia at the moment, no one is sick for the first time in a while.  Things in life have taken weird turns with me ending up with five part time jobs (plus Silber!), but bills seem to be getting paid & the stability has made me not be so stressed out as I have been the past year so I’m finally getting in the right space to be able to get some Silber work done.  So suddenly, bam! Three new releases this week & probably a few more next week (maybe earlier with some of them).

We’ve been working with Yellow6 a lot over the past couple of years & I wish we’d been working with him longer.  The new micro-EP/single Springsun is a recording from a couple months ago of loop driven ambient guitar drone.  Great stuff worth checking out.

Chvad SB has been working on Phenomenalism, Cartesian Doubt and Bomb #20 for a couple years & I’d almost given up on it coming to fruition.  Chvad built a modular synth capable of self-generating musical pieces & putting it together & taking it apart was part of the collaboration process between man & machine on this piece influenced by classic sci-fi movies about the nature of artificial intelligence as well as their soundtracks.

The 5in5 series is back & launching this batch (I think there are about ten coming out in the next few weeks) is Anda Volley.  I’m kinda surprised I never ran into Anda before as she lived in NC back in the 1990s, but I’m glad to have run into her now.  The music on Paper Moon is in the vein of some of the 1980s avant pop stuff like Laurie Anderson or Siouxsie and the Banshees.  If it sounds interesting, it only takes 5 minutes t listen, so check it out.
