    Artist Profile Page
    Terrificolor on Myspace:
    http://www.myspace.com/terrificolor

    An attraction to the extremes of music, sound synthesis and dolphins has led Terrificolor (Fabien) to the sound of breakcore and drill and bass. He used to play the guitar in grindcore bands, but the lure of sole control over his creative output led him to electronic music production.

    “3” is the second EP from Terrificolor – “Murphi” being the first – which combines vintage (MKS 80, Juno,Trident, TR etc) and modern sounds (Andromeda, Elektron MD, reaktor…) into a rollercoaster trip through a deranged bastard child of breakcore, hardware and electronica.

    All the tracks on this record have been composed and mixed by Terrificolor except “Délicieuse enfant” composed by Terrificolor & Rectom and “Sonofox opiates” which is a remix of “Sonata Op 111” composed and mixed by Scrubber Fox.

    The principle of Terrificolor’s music is to shape the random and to use opposition, contrast and movements.

  • The Centrifuge 2009 Roundup Pt 2: Label

    Festive greetz from The Centrifuge HQ to one and all. In part 2 of our 2009 roundup we’re going to take a look back at the music that we released over the year. Not to be outdone by our prolific events activity (which we talked about yesterday), we published no less than 30 digital releases using a Creative Commons license, one double album compilation available in return for a charity donation (which are still very welcome in case you have some surplus festive funds), a vinyl issue of CF018 and a mountain of CDs.

    We’ve picked up a few plaudits for some of the releases: Fractional has been nominated for a Qwartz award for Tasnw from Still Life, Anyone Can Make Dubstep was named album of the year by a bass-centric netaudio roundup and The Centrifuge & Acroplane’s alliance went from strength to strength as the two of us took the top 2 spots in influential Japanese music blog Music Forest‘s netlabels of 2009. Mark Swift‘s sublime Melodynonstop series also picked up a top 5 album spot in the same writeup.

    To round the year off, we released a compilation in tandem with our buddies at Acroplane Recordings as a celebration of Netaudio in 2009. Hope you enjoy it! Streaming previews are below…

    Additional Notes From The Artist:

    ENGLISH Instant Classic, also called Selected Unknown Abstract Drill And Bass Instant Classic, brings together the 9 pieces composed by Joel-Aimé between 2001 and 2004 in parallel with his studies in Electroacoustic Composition at the Montreal Conservatory.

    Tracklist:

    – Hello, My Name Is Joel-Aimé (2003) An experiment in polyrhythmy, where the rhythm section stays at a constant tempo while the melody slows down or speeds up, gradually or suddenly, and all of it with a carnival atmosphere.

    – L’Eclectively Quick Dance Mix Vol.1 (2003) A humorous reminiscence of dance music from the first half of the 90s.

    – Cheap Shot (2002) I was paid $20 to do this remix of a children’s TV show theme.

    – Buddy Rush (2002) Composition based on a 12-minute recording of Buddy Rich compressed to 45 seconds using a high speed CD player. This was my first assignment using PropellerHead Reason at the Montreal Conservatory.

    – Fruity Looped (2003) Composed over 4 months at the rate of 4 bars per evening after class, Fruity Looped is an homage to the repulsive library samples of FLStudio 3 such as the horrible Plunk, the disgraceful TS404, the seductive but clumsy Hip Hop Drum Kit and the infamous 3OSC.

    – L’Eclectively Quick Danse Mix Vol.2 (2003) A humorous reminiscence of trance music from the first half of the 90s. – Abstract Drum And Bass Classic (2004) Drum, bass and melody with the stereotypical snares of the second half of the 90s. Twisted and efficient.

    – Electric Block Brick (2002) There was meant to be a violin part in here… but when I played it to the violinist in the studio, he ran away…

    – Joel-Aimé au pays des chinois (2004) (Joel-Aimé in the land of the Chinese) Composed using samples of Vietnamese restaurant music.

    2 Bonus Tracks

    – Super Mario Making Love To Peach (Happy End Mix) (2005) A reprise of the star song from Super Mario Bros. – Drum Kit Orgy (2005) A straight abstract drum and bass track, so as to stay on form, in this beautiful autumn afternoon, being as commissions in this genre are increasingly rare. The main theme is a permutation of the song “My Favourite Things”.

    FRANCAIS Instant Classic, aussi nommé Selected Unknown Abstract Drill And Bass Instant Classic, regroupe les 9 morceaux composés par Joel-Aimé entre 2001 et 2004 en parallèle à ses études en Composition Électroacoustique au Conservatoire de Musique de Montréal. Il constitue ses premières expérimentations sur le timbre, le rythme, la polyphonie, la mélodie et l’arrangement. Tracklist: – Hello, My Name Is Joel-Aimé (2003) Une expérience sur la polyrythmie, où la section rythmique reste à un tempo constant alors que la section mélodique ralentit ou accélère de façon progressive ou par strate, le tout sur un air de carnaval. – L’Eclectively Quick Dance Mix Vol.1 (2003) Réminiscence à caractère humoristique de musique Dance de la première moitié des années 90. – Cheap Shot (2002) On m’a payé 20$ pour que je fasse ce remix de chanson thème d’émission de télévision pour enfant. (Québec) – Buddy Rush (2002) Composé à partir d’un enregistrement de Buddy Rich de 12 minutes compressée dans le temps à 45 secondes au moyen d’un lecteur Cd en avance rapide. Fut mon premier devoir de PropellerHead Reason au Conservatoire de Musique de Montréal. – Fruity Looped (2003) Composée sur 4 mois au rythme de 4 mesures par soir en rentrant de l’école, Fruity Looped se veut un hommage à la repoussante bibliothèque d’échantillon de FLStudio 3 tels que : l’horrible Plunk, le disgracieux TS404, le séduisant mais maladroit Drum Kit Hip Hop et l’infâme 3OSC. – L’Eclectively Quick Danse Mix Vol.2 (2003) Réminiscence à caractère humoristique de musique Transe de la première moitié des années 90. – Abstract Drum And Bass Classic (2004) Drum, bass et mélodie aux timbres stéréotypés de la seconde moitié des années ‘90. Tordue et efficace. – Electric Block Brick (2002) Il devait y avoir une partie de violon là-dessus… Mais dès sa première écoute en studio, le violoniste s’est sauvé en courant… – Joel-Aimé au pays des chinois (2004) Composé à partir d’échantillons de musique pour restaurant vietnamien. 2 Morceaux en Bonus – Super Mario Makin Love To Peach (an happy ending story mix) (2005) Reprise de la star song de Super Mario Bro. – Drum Kit Orgy (2005) Une straight abstract drum and bass track, pour garder la forme, en cette belle après midi d’automne, les commandes en ce genre ce faisant de plus en plus rares. Le thème principal est une permutation de la chanson « My Favorite Things ». Joel-Aimé

    5. Where Am I Gonna Be (Data Out Chowder Mix)
    6. Before The Grave (Shrimpsalad Narrative Mix)

    Release Notes:
    For Myoptik’s 3rd Centrifuge EP we have something a little different. Where the first two EPs gave a vague nod to accepted electronic forms (albeit through a mangle of madness), this time we have a diverse range of narratives from an obtuse mind. The artist’s intention here is to question accepted styles, presenting an attitude from beyond and without. There are half a dozen audio slices celebrating the fertility of limitation and the prospect of future limitlessness. It’s all about irreverent audio stimulation with a message of vitality: music that shows a tenacious thirst for life with stupid combinations that help to question, to open up towards the unknown future.
    Included remixes from Shrimpsalad and Data Out give a window into what it would be like if Myoptik wasn’t so awkward and obtuse. Where he puts familiar sounds into confused and unfamiliar settings, the remixers pull them back from the brink so you can grab them with both hands. So come, take your gloves off, dive in…

    Artist Credits:
    Written, recorded and produced by Nexus in Dublin and Berlin from 2008-2009.

    Thanks to all at The Centrifuge for the effort gone into the release. Thanks to the Dublin and Berlin crew who have supported every live show I’ve had for the past 4-5 years, you know who you are, you legends.

    Thanks to Robin Lochmann and Frederik Poppenk for the massive work gone into the video. Also thanks to Shane T for his constant help, Mrs Jynx, Scrubber Fox, Vertical67 and Snelcomjon for their brilliant remixes.
    And to everyone banging away in the Irish electronic music scene for the inspiration, the music, the ideas and the sessions.

    Other Info:

    Sounds in this LP are basically a mash of everything I love about music, complete still-life ambience, distortion, elements of UK bass, techno structures, “sound art”, trip-hop and the odd amen. Silicone Poplars gets the title of the album because it has nearly all of these features crammed into one track.

    UVB-76 is the callsign of a shortwave radio station nicknamed “The Buzzer” which broadcasts from a military facility in Povarovo, Russia. It has been actively broadcasting a repeated buzzing noise which has been monitored by hobbyists since 1982. You can hear samples of this buzzer through the track along with Radio Station Peace and Progress. There’s plenty of information, speculation, recordings and discussion about these stations, hundreds of other ‘number stations’ and Cold War paranoia littered throughout the internet – most relevantly to this track and this release is Carl Brown’s latest release The Carl Brown Album, also out on The Centrifuge.

    Sophomore release from the East Anglian wizard.

    Additional Notes from the artist:
    Pharaonic Dusk Irdial : Many thanks to Robert A. Moog, for the sounds in this song especially, but in many others. Thanks to my parents for going to Egypt + buying a crappy Egyptian touristy thing , I don’t even know what it was, but it was in the bathroom when I went round + had the word “pharonic” (incorrectly spelt) on it. As always a massive UNthanks to Orion Platinum, for crashing so many times, I remade so many bits, eventually I gave up with some, and as a result, some bits might sound different to other bits, if you know what I mean. But this, at least, I can look back on as a problem of 2005, represented unwillingly in this song. (2009 edit – I’m still using it :P)

    Old Tune: Jacob Solstice strums away on Guitar at 1:50 as instructed.

    Safe Pt.3: I’m a fraud. I don’t know how I made this tune at all, I just know I played the keyboard + the tuning was all wrong. Still, I enjoy listening to it, so here it is.

    Sad Kiss: Noises from a saucepan bought on a mundesley camping trip with Billie, Matthew and Lucy. Actually, it was meant to be an egg poacher, but all the other saucepans were 16 pounds or something, and this one was 3, and we only needed it for some noodles. Piano is Matthews one, recorded at Matthews, using Matthews minidisk player. Guitars: Olley Neale should be twiddling away on your left hand side, and Jacob Solstice on your right.

    The Frub: An unedited solo played at 6am one morning in June. Except for the backwards notes + bell right at the end.

    Propperchopper: penny whistle blowed into by me.

    Become: Guitar, Jacob Solstice. There were going to be melodies in this tune by Gareth Clarke, but that only materialised in a tiny clip that I treasure.

    Small Gl9ck Tune: glock bit by me.

    Summer Breaks tune 3: Glock and “singing”/making noises by me (notice the painstaking audio engineering to give the illusion I’m singing in a small room into a £1.99 mic when it’s actually an AKG C12VR Multi Pick-up Tube Microphone in my multi-million pound professional studio). Guitars aplenty from Jacob Solstice.

    Jazzydnb: chords based on/stolen from a tune I heard in the record shop soundclash once. Guitar riff by Olley Neale, Clarinet by me. But it would have been better if I hadn’t of broken the ligature the day I was going to record the part. And then the part took ages to come so I was probably all out of practise.yeah.

    Safe Pt.2: Another solo.

    Kitano Meso: This tunes structure goes out of the window, oh well.

    Fuck Offensive T-shirts: Starts as a Venetian Snares impression in acid pro. I’m not really sure what happens to it. Laughter by Me, Olley, and Billie, at various different times.

    You may have noticed the many random numbers audible during the playing of this recording. These are from a quadruple disc collection called “The Conet Project” downloadable from www.archive.org. Or you can head to http://www.irdial.com/conet.htm to be set on the trail of finding out more about these fascinating “number stations”, and unbelievably you can actually buy the CDs of the thing you probably just downloaded for free – and even a T-shirt.
