The beginning of a song can preclude whether it will be carved into my sonic memory or whether my musical consciousness will bin the said tones forever. 5 seconds is a minuscule amount of time for a composition to unleash, a nano teaser of what is to come, or not.

Krzystof Zimmermann’s latest release Waiting for an Answer is packed with field recordings mainly from his current residence, Gothenborg, Sweden, but you can also hear some sounds from Taiwan. Released on the Few Quiet People imprint, it follows in the tradition of this label which is focused on sonic experiments and more abstract sound collages.

Exploring the local alternative scene can bring up really interesting results, from lo-fi hip hop, garage rock to more electronica driven experiments, you just name it. Hungary has it all and we are glad to hear the demos and releases sent over to us or unearthed on the www (feel free to send us your musics too:).

The Poznan-based etno-savagist label with a penchant for esoteric, bona fide strange sounds and projects follows up their winter installment of tapes featuring Burial Hex or Felicia Atkinson with four spring plastic beauties. Aside from up-and-coming Polish and Eastern European artists, Sangoplasmo has also increasingly focused on presenting the works of established musicians such as genuinely strange Aranos (whose release symptomatically inaugurated the label).

The Timisoara duo Makunouchi Bento are avid purveyors of complex sonic structures, opulent compositions brimming that in their epicism and cinematic nature, are soundtracks to non-existing films. Their latest movie, entitled Rinbo,they pursue mystical oriental territories, a sonic fairy tale in a magical country.

Wojtek Rusin aka Katapulto lives in Bristol and creates synth-based songs (engendered from his previous exotic, excentric sonic guise). We loved his Animalia tape (on Sangoplasmo) and there’s more to come courtesy of Katapulto vs Easterndaze but more on that later:) Wojtek also makes the visual accompaniment to his music.
