Intransitive Recordings

Intransitive Recordings is a label I've just discovered. I think their releases are all CDs or CDRs.They say this about themselves:

Intransitive is a record label and online magazine dedicated to electronic, electro-acoustic, and otherwise unclassifiable “experimental” music. No, I don’t like that term very much either, but it’s general enough to mean something to somebody........If you hear two Intransitive releases and can sorta tell that there is some unifying aesthetic behind them both, but can’t quite put your finger on what that is, then I’ve done my job.

Sounds worth investigating to me!



There's a magazine element to what they do:

The magazine is my way of facilitating conversation between artists, between artists and listeners, and between anyone who is curious about the issues that move people to make abstract sounds and the artists themselves. You will find monthly Round Table discussions about issues related to sound-making… articles by artists about their own work, and dialogue between sympathetic folks… in-depth interviews, book excerpts, galleries of visual art and essays on film by sound artists, and looks behind the curtain to talk about the experience of thinking about and making this noise. Please join the conversation! Feel free to comment on articles that interest you, and share them with others.

Fake Media/Entropia

Fake Media is the name of an release I found while trawling through various netlabels' sites. It's by Normaa and features five tracks:

1. GazaHebron
2. Otra Vez te Equivocas
3. The Void Night
4. The Void Coliseum
5. The Void Triumph

It was released in early 2008 by one of our favourite labels, Fresh Poulpe.

Normaa aka Eduardo Acosta says the album is: 'the result of the manipulated media, the current conflicts, the forgotten wars, poverty, and the dignity of the occupated (sic) lands and exploited countries. A travel between dub and IDM, exploring vocals and melodies, smooth and pain, red tears and dark hope. The digital drama and the war against wrong system and skills.'

There's an Eastern feel buried in among the electronica, which is why we like it here in the Secret Archives. You can download this fine free release from HERE.

While I was looking at this album, I found a later release also! It's called Entropia and was released in 2009. It features eight tracks:

1. Enana Blanca
2. Planck Era
3. Les Organismes
4. Become An Evil
5. OTAN VS Nature
6. Normaagedon
7. Solar Ring
8. Bass Rebel Front (Bonus track)

You can download it from HERE.



The label says this: 'Normaa with Entropia, offers a new sound, different from their previous ep Fake Media. Here is the Normaa sauced dubstep, dubstep to a futuristic urban atmosphere that will shake your walls.'
