ARBITRARY 014CD
|
Arbitrary presents the third in the Black Box series of releases by Mads Emil Nielsen. The release, which showcases a more sample- and grid-based side of the Danish musician/composer's work, is part of a sequence of publications with music and audio originally made for theater, radio soundtracks and more. Black Box 3 is based on sound pieces produced for Sprækker (Cracks), a dance performance and installation in Denmark, 2021. The starting points for these pieces are improvisations recorded with contemporary dancers, in which Nielsen guides the listener through a corpus of synthesizer recordings, everyday sounds and radio archives. These original recordings were reworked for this LP and edited into the six tracks in early 2022. Written and produced, recorded and mixed by Mads Emil Nielsen, Copenhagen, 2021/2022. Acoustic sounds on Installation -- 2 by Victor Dybbroe. Mastered and cut by Kassian Troyer at Dubplates & Mastering, Berlin. Graphic design by Mads Emil Nielsen.

ARBITRARY 003CD
|
arbitrary presents the 2020 remaster of PM016 by Danish musician Mads Emil Nielsen. Originally released as limited edition C30 tape on Plant Migration Records in 2014, the four pieces on Nielsen's first solo release are based on short orchestral and percussive samples manipulated by various synthesizer modules and effects processors. Variations are created by emphasizing different frequencies, harmonics, sections of short loops and the various surprises that result from the idiosyncrasies of each machine. This vinyl reissue is part of the Black Box series of releases with music and audio originally made for theater pieces, performances, installations, radio soundtracks, compilations, and remix collaborations. The series showcases a more melodic side of Mads Emil Nielsen's work, who, during recent years, has been focused on more abstract electronic/acoustic material -- such as his collaboration with Andrea Neumann and Framework series (graphic scores and recordings). Written and produced by Mads Emil Nielsen, Copenhagen, 2013. Originally released as limited edition C30 tape on Plant Migration Records (US), 2014. Remastered and cut by Kassian Troyer, with cover artwork by visual artist Dane Patterson. CD version comes in digipak; edition of 300.
