"As far as we remember"
Live @ Simultan Festival 2011
Synagogue of Timisoara
6 October 21:00h

If compared to their biological age, D & F know each other for a very long time. More than half of their lifetime. Since the proverbial times of the "Circle of Calculators", first local official assembly for geeks in Timisoara.
Their bond become even stronger once F tried to double the size of D's hard disk using some occult software of the time. It was a failure and so D was forced to initiate himself into the ways of the system reinstallation.
More data was exchanged in high school years. Not an especially productive time but the taste for experimental (self) education was growing. Amiga, C64, Borland Pascal & autoexec.bat comes to the mind … Still, the period ended with their first attempts regarding creative output. F was tracking on Amiga and D was … doing something in illustration.
University time arrived and the spirit of continuity prevailed. Inspiration and vision were increasing. Also, their common but individual weird aura did too.
F went public and joined TmBase as a founding father. He got himself a gang and started raving as Urban Experience. Visuals stroked him too and a bit later went even more astray, sounding cinematic as Makunouchi Bento.
D went towards the within. Emotionally and philosophically. He practiced ambient facing his room wall for some years (he was not aware of Bodhidharma yet). Studio work only, albums releases as Thy Veils and sparse public gigs as others guest. Then he went photographic and become a video man soon enough.
There is no archeological proof but D & F went into improvisation at the same time. D did so after a trip to New Zealand (and, once back, he quit his job, joined one more group, started releasing even more, made installations and went mainly live). F's transition is undocumented.
The last years can be characterized as most active in all aspects. Both increased their artistic research in various experimental fields and their skills were upgraded as never before. The new, uprising wave of mobile music scene focused their interests upon same topics and same touch screens. Still, one most important thing was never satisfied: they never performed together. But this is not a problem anymore since this year's Simultan Festival will host their first live collaboration. The two will deliver a real-time improvisational storytelling performance along the not-very-accurate remembering of a "sonic memory system" that D developed for his collaborative Ars Electronica installation. A continuous, postdigital audio-visual flow containing all their tricks will flood the Synagogue of Timisoara, this October.

from the press release
7 September 2011
"About the content of this (cover) image I cannot say more that I captured it while my friends were kiting and suddenly they focused on some invisible point in space. No one remembers exactly why but I recall the atmosphere on that small hill, it was similar to that of the title song. But the title song itself is not much related to that hill. In fact, the music was performed one year before, in Pecs (Hungary), during the HeadPhone Festival. I was enjoying the great company of Petre Ionutescu and his trumpet and Ciprian Costache (you can see him on the cover, the young man on the right side) and his screwdriver technique, subtly unleashed upon his guitar. We did this jazz-ambient sound-flow by improvising along a generative structure that I was controlling in real-time while processing their output through two Korg KaossPad3 units, to be more precise. Later, the recorded sound reached the ears of Attila Lukinich and he adapted it for speakers without hesitation. After that, the song got a video to mach. Spacelove, the second title on this release, is a piece I've created using the sounds of Memories Of Now, a generative audio-visual installation I made with Michaela Konrad, featuring Eugen Neacsu. This multimedia artwork is currently in permanent display inside the Ars Electronica Center in Linz (Austria) and we presented it's new, updated version just 2 days ago by participating in the Ars Electronica Festival. A new video is under construction, documenting this new live presentation and I'm pretty sure it will be online 7 days from now."

3 lights up and some questions

2011-06-22T12:40:00.000+03:00

"Lights Up" is the name of Thy Veils' upcoming disk, the 6th studio album to be released later this year. It's 3rd song "Many Waters" has just been uploaded for your listening pleasure and, hopefully, your feedback.

Many Waters by Thy Veils

The previous disk ("Mountain and Cloud") was Thy Veils' first to include additional members, beside Daniel. For "Lights Up" the party is expanded even further. Please welkome: Ionut Dorobantu (exquisite guitar), Octavian Scurtu (drums, fx, field recordings, found sounds and other righteous things), Vlad Sturdza (free spirit guitar) and Dan Griober (celestial production).

Within the Ludic Ocean by Thy Veils

Being consistently different from anything you’ve heard before from Thy Veils, "Many Waters" represents a clear sight on our new sound and, together with the other two songs, offers a larger picture of next album's musical landscape.

Auditore by Thy Veils

As we have to take into consideration the moment and implications of the new album release, here are some questions for you, your answers will be greatly appreciated.
- Any idea of a suitable label for the new album?
- If we release it by ourselves, any suggestions regarding promotion (an individual or agency to work with)?

Thy Veils & Music Alliance Pact

2010-11-15T13:07:00.002+02:00

Music Alliance Pact is a project started 2 years ago by the Scottish blogger Jason "The Pop Cop". It unites music blogs from six continents and around 35 countries. Each blog selects one band from their country, a song to represent it and they describe it in a few words.

On the 15^th of every month, all the blogs post this identical list of all the bands (with their song and info) maximizing their exposure. The result is an international compilation, with different genres, languages and approaches.

From South Africa to England, Colombia to China, Iceland to New Zeeland; trip-hop to pop, metal to ambient, experimental to world music, you can find it all here.

As Jason said in an interview for The Guardian: "The logic behind MAP is that because each individual blog's regular readers would usually download and listen to the author's recommended songs, they would be more likely to download the MAP songs too, even though their source was another blog entirely".

Babylon Noise is a collective Romanian music blog, started in May 2007 by some friends who wanted to share their favourite music with more people than each other.

It’s not about who released what and who sings when and where, it’s more about those sensations and feelings music creates; about the way a live performance can make you feel. It’s a very subjective music blog, consisting of our opinions about certain songs, bands, videos or shows.

It’s not about news. It’s about moods.

Thy Veils' "The Knifechild" is featured in November's edition of the Music Alliance Pact compilation.

Thank you Maria & the Babylon Noise crew.

NEXT HEADPHONE FESTIVAL WILL TAKE PLACE JUNE 2010 IN HUNGARY
AS PART OF THE OFFICIAL CAPITAL OF CULTURE PROGRAM PÉCS 2010..

4 Days of Music and also Visuals all on Headphones!!

INFORMATION | ABOUT

A Headphone Festival is an Gathering of Music Enthusiasts, Musicians, Designers and Listeners who wants to enjoy the Music over Headphones. The Roots of this Idea comes from a group of people from Paris, France. Due the heavy loudness restrictions in the french Capital they wanna to be able to listen to loud music.. and they invented the so called "Placard" Festival. This is more than 10 years ago. This Idea spread over the world. Since 2003 the label privatelektro decided to make an own Headphone Festival in Leipzig based on the idea of the placard Festival. The first Festivals are so called virtual Festivals for the public and a strong theme was the streaming of the music played on the Fest over Internet. The Last Festival, we did intended some modifications. We used small Radio Transmitters and streamed the whole live Event inside a defined Room. The physical location was more important and the social component of the meeting with musicians and listeners. While the whole time of the concert the audience was able to listen over 3 different ways: over Radios, or Mobil Phones with integrated Radio, the provided Sound-Islands who you will be able to plug into a Headphone-Amplifier (who get the signal direct from the main mixer) and of course trough mini-radios with mini earplugs, we provided at the Festival. Every Concert was recorded and some of the concerts are released through the privatelektro as high quality mp3 with a Creative Commons Licence.

Daniel Dorobantu - Knock on the sky and listen to the sound - album review

2010-01-27T00:00:00.003+02:00

Daniel Dorobantu is a musician from Romania, whose "Knock on the Sky and listen to the Sound" is a peaceful, dreamy journey with strong Zen-inspired and contemplative elements.

Recorded in 2007 and 2008, the music (split into seven tracks) uses generative electro and acoustic techniques, ending up in a peculiar mixture of bell and environmental sounds next to abstract/experimental edged drone tapestries.

Together they lead the way into vibrant, atmospheric and immersive spaces of wonder, although I wouldn't call the outcome a contemplative, soothing affair. The almost eerie, hypnotizing vibe in the highly improvised and edgy music is the reason for that.
So mind this ambient adventure is not something for the faint hearted.

Echoes From Transcendence Evening - noi detalii

2010-01-09T01:25:00.003+02:00

Comunicat 07.01.2010
ECHOES FROM TRANSCENDENCE EVENING

Pe data de 24 ianuarie, in selecta locatie The Silver Church Club, Calea Plevnei Nr.61, organizatorii Kogaionon & DonisArt prezinta, in premiera, o Seara Speciala dedicata elitei muzicale underground autohtone!

Prima alegere se numeste THY VEILS iar Daniel Dorobantu, mentorul acestui concept, a decis ca pentru aceasta seara sa aduca sub lumina reflectoarelor si pe cativa din colaboratorii cu care a realizat ultimul album. Este vorba de “Mountain And Cloud”, un CD ce a aparut oficial chiar astazi si despre care puteti afla toate detaliile, inclusiv audio, pe http://thyveils.bandcamp.com. Este un material conceptual, ce insumeaza 4 piese, cca o ora, care dezvolta o aura Landscape Music remarcabila! Puteti asculta, in cel mai inspirat si inedit mod, o combinatie stranie de keyboards cu chitara, trompeta, instrumente de percutie indiene, didgeridoo si chiar voci feminine! Sunetul THY VEILS dezvolta o dimensiune misterioasa, greu de patruns sau perceput la o ascultare superficiala insa perfecta pentru meditatie sau evadare din cotidian! Efectul minimalist al unor instrumente sau sample-uri pune in valoare si mai mult armonia acestui concept muzical care se bazeaza in egala masura si pe latura vizuala, Daniel fiind un artist incontestabil ce stie sa manipuleze imaginea in cea mai abstracta si, poate, retorica forma!

THY VEILS este primul proiect Dark Ambient infiintat in Romania, in urma cu 15 ani, iar cel de-al 5-lea album dovedeste o maturitate rarisima pentru intreaga noastra scena Dark Ambient. Este un material ce se adreseaza in principal fanilor trupelor promovate de Cold Meat Industry, Rage in Eden, Cyclic Law, Eibon, dar si tuturor celor ce accepta impletirea de muzica si imagine ca pe o reala si introvertita provocare.

DORDEDUH este o trupa infiintata de Hupogrammos si Sol Faur in urma despartirii de NEGURA BUNGET, in vara anului trecut. Este prima oportunitate pentru fanii Black Metal autohton sa vada la lucru acest nou grup timisorean, intr-o formula extinsa cu invitati diversi. A existat si inca exista o intreaga dezbatere despre existenta sau inexistenta unei continuitati conceptuale intre muzica DORDEDUH si NEGURA BUNGET.

Pana acum nimeni nu a avut ocazia sa afle care este adevarul…

Organizatorii au hotarat impreuna cu muzicienii sa arate, in premiera, tuturor fanilor de sonoritati Metal, care este adevarata identitate DORDEDUH!

Desi trupa este la inceput de drum, casa de discuri germana Prophecy Productions le-a oferit deja un contract, albumul de debut urmand sa apara in acest an. Mai mult, in foarte scurt putin timp va aparea si un EP, format din doua piese distincte, ce vor contura barierele stilistice intre care penduleaza muzica celor doi timisoreni.

DORDEDUH doreste sa arate tuturor ca, in ciuda existentei unei scene Black Metal abundente, unde cantitatea este mai importanta decat calitatea, se poate compune si interpreta intr-un mod elegant, profesionist si sincer muzica in care crede!

Va fi un spectacol de imagine si muzica pe durata a 90 de minute, intr-o maniera mai putin intalnita pentru astfel de sonoritati, atat in Romania cat si in Europa!

Asadar, DORDEDUH va aparea pentru prima data pe scena in seara de 24 ianuarie iar posibila sinergie cu THY VEILS o veti putea descoperi doar atunci, fiind, probabil si unica!

Pentru o initiere in universul ECHOES FROM TRANSCENDENCE EVENING, cei interesati pot sa citeasca un interviu cu THY VEILS realizat in urma cu mai bine de 10 ani, ce trateaza insa teme la fel de actuale cu ale noastre vremuri… Aici se va gasi si posibila explicatie pentru Seara Speciala ce sta sa vina…

http://www.kogaionon.com/romana/revista_kogaionon_full/no_05/revista_kogaionon_no5_015.html

Ultimele noutati despre trupe vor veni curand, prin postarea a doua interviuri realizate in aceasta luna!

Vor mai exista in 2010 si alte Seri Speciale in afara celor anuntate? Raspunsul pe 24 ianuarie, in The Silver Church!

Accesul in sala va fi permis la ora 18.30, unde se va putea urmari cca o ora din spectaculosul DVD AGALLOCH, aparut acum cateva saptamani, o raritate dar si o piesa de colectie pentru toti fanii Dark Metal !

In jurul orei 19.30 prima trupa va urca pe scena, cea de-a doua urmand sa-si termine reprezentatia dupa ora 22.00.

Pretul unui bilet este de 40 lei si se va putea cumpara din Reteaua Diverta, www.ticketpoint.ro, sau la intrare, in seara evenimentului.

Va asteptam!

…underground will never die!

new Thy Veils album

2009-12-20T17:29:00.006+02:00

"The blue mountain is the father of the white cloud. The white cloud is the son of the blue mountain. All day long they depend on each other, without being dependent on each other. The white cloud is always the white cloud. The blue mountain is always the blue mountain."

Inspired by Zen Master Tozan's words, here comes the 5th Thy Veils studio album, entitled "Mountain And Cloud".

Four songs with a total length of about 50 minutes will depict subtle, yet vivid reflexions, filtered through the nature of contemplative states. Blended into the layered whispers that form the music, one can find new things in Thy Veils' art that complement the organic electronics : live recorded improvisations drifting along generative structures of keyboards, voice, electric and acoustic instruments.

Dreaming within this dream and manifesting their spirits, here they are, the beautiful friends: Manuela Marchis and her spectral vocals, Anna Kontridze virtuous and gentle on indian tabla, Ciprian Costache taming the cold wave guitar and Petrica Ionutescu floating on trumpet.

With the sound waves ruled by "the old man" Attila Lukinich and the great hand made artwork by Silver Tzu, the new songs will flow outside the workshop in the next few days.

Excerpt from the official presentation:

"Fabrica de Pensule / The Paintbrush Factory is a collective space of production and distribution of contemporary art as an independent cultural center. The project is initiated by a group of artists, curators, cultural managers and producers from Cluj, animated by the idea that art creates a real impact on the communities.

The center is located in the former Paintbrush Factory and gathers, on a surface of 2000 sqm, 29 contemporary art spaces: artists’ studios, galleries and cultural organizations active in fields like visual arts, contemporary dance and theater. The center aims at setting an independent creative space on the map of the local community, as well as on the international artistic scene.
Fabrica de Pensule / The Paintbrush Factory contributes to urban development, by reclaiming an industrial heritage site, activated as a space for community life."

ECHOES FROM TRANSCENDENCE EVENING

DORDEDUH semnifica trupa ce a rezultat in urma plecarii lui Hupogrammos si a lui Sol Faur din NEGURA BUNGET. Cei doi muzicieni au decis sa-si continue activitatea sub aceasta denumire, duetul avand parte, atat in studio cat si pe scena, de ajutorul unor muzicieni profesionisti, cu care vor termina de inregistrat curand primul material. In componenta lor se afla in acest moment: Sergio Ponti la tobe si percutii (tobar de studio si profesor de tobe, cunoscut pentru aparitia in show-ul de reuniune Jethro Tull, dar si pentru diferitele sale colaborari cu muzicieni din Whitesnake, Rainbow, Sabbat, Ephel Duath, Illogicist…), Jorg Heemann / Thelemnar la percutii (Secrets of the Moon, The Vision Bleak) si Michael Zech / Arioch la bass (Odem Arcarum, Secrets of the Moon).

Soundul DORDEDUH este unul extrem de complex, cu radacini in Black Metal, dar si Folk sau Ambient. Veti auzi pe langa chitari, tobe, percutii, voci diverse si tot felul de instrumente traditionale, pasaje multiple si multe ruperi de ritm.

Desi trupa nu are decat cateva luni de la infiintare, foarte multe labeluri au fost interesate in a colabora cu ea iar interesul fanilor, atat din Romania cat si din afara tarii, intr-un prim posibil concert, a fost si continua sa fie subiect de dezbatere pe multe forumuri.

Hupogrammos si Sol Faur au hotarat ca prima aparitie in fata publicului sa fie facuta printr-o Seara Speciala, una care sa dezvaluie corect si multidimensional identitatea DORDEDUH, atat ca muzica si mesaj, cat si ca instrumente si implicit formula scenica completa!

Evenimentul va avea o dinamica aparte deoarece grupul ce va urca pe scena inainte de DORDEDUH va fi THY VEILS, un proiect timisorean foarte cunoscut de presa de specialitate. Daniel Dorobantu este, poate, cel mai vechi artist roman din scena Dark Ambient iar proiectele lui muzicale au starnit intotdeauna curiozitatea celor mai avantgardisti ascultatori de faze ciudate.

Seara de 24 ianuarie va fi una cu totul speciala, deoarece asocierea scenica a doua trupe complet diferite ca stil muzical ne va contura, in cele din urma, imaginea unui spectacol complex aparte, conceput exclusiv pentru o audienta ce e deschisa la nou, insa cu imense radacini in tot ceea ce e clasic si traditional. Va fi o seara rarisima deoarece probabilitatea de a se repeta experienta din 24 ianuarie este practic nula!

Dupa orele 19.00, cele cca 3 ore de muzica si imagini vor invalui intr-o atmosfera conceptuala intreaga sala The Silver Church, Bucuresti, Calea Plevnei Nr.61, spectatorul avand oportunitatea de a transcede in propriul univers interior, datorita prestatiilor scenice ale celor doua trupe.

Pretul unui bilet este de 40 lei si se va putea cumpara din Reteaua Diverta, www.ticketpoint.ro, www.letsrock.ro/bestial (Titus), www.beautyofpain.ro sau la intrare, in seara evenimentului.

Va asteptam!

press release

Kogaionon & DonisArt proudly present:

ECHOES FROM TRANSCENDENCE EVENING

DORDEDUH represents the band that resulted after Hupogrammos and Sol Faur left the NEGURA BUNGET band. The two musicians decided to go on with their activity under this name, the duo benefiting from the help of professional musicians, both in studio as well as on stage, with whom they will soon finish recording the first project. Their band consists of: Sergio Ponti for drums and percussion (studio drummer and drums professor, well known after the appearance in the reunion show Jethro Tull, but also for his different collaborations with musician from Whitesnake, Rainbow, Sabbat, Ephel Duath, Illogicist…), Jorg Heemann / Thelemnar for percussions (Secrets of the Moon, The Vision Bleak) and Michael Zech / Arioch for bass (Odem Arcarum, Secrets of the Moon).

The DORDEDUH sound is an extremely complex one, with roots in Black Metal, but also Folk or Ambient. Apart from guitars, drums, percussions, different voices and all kinds of traditional instruments you will hear multiple passages and a lot of rhythmic breaks.

Even though the band has only got several months since they began their activity, there have been a lot of labels interested in collaborating with them and the interest shown by fans, both in and outside the borders of Romania for a first possible concert has been and continues to be a highly debated subject on a lot of forums.

Hupogrammos and Sol Faur have decided that the first audience appearance will take place on a Special Evening, one which will reveal the correct and multidimensional identity of DORDEDUH, both in music and message, as well as in the instruments used and, implicitly, the complete scenic version of the band!

The event will benefit of a special dynamic also due to the fact that the band that will share the stage with DORDEDUH will be THY VEILS, a project very well known by the specialised media, originating from Timisoara. Daniel Dorobantu pretty much is the oldest Dark Ambient Romanian artist and his musical projects have captured the interest of most of the avant-garde listeners of strange sounds.

The night of 24^th of January will be a completely special one, because the scenic association of the two completely different bands – in terms of their music style – will eventually draw up the image of a highly complex show, exclusively conceived for an audience that is opened to the new, yet rooted in everything that is classical and traditional. It will be a rare night because the probability of reliving the experience like on the 24^th of January is practically close to zero!

After 7pm, the almost 3 hours long of music and images will take you over in a whole conceptual atmosphere in The Silver Church hall, Bucharest, Calea Plevnei Nr. 61, the audience having the opportunity to transcend into an interior universe, due to the scenic performance of the two bands.

Ticket prices are 40 lei and they can be purchased within the Diverta network, www.ticketpoint.ro, www.letsrock.ro/bestial (Titus), www.beautyofpain.ro or at the entrance on the night of the event.

We are expecting you!

B: I've been waiting for you.

H: You've been waiting for me?

B: To be witness of my death.

H: Why me? I'm so afraid of death...

B: Exactly.
If the baby in the darkness of its mother's womb were told: "Outside there's a world of light, with high mountains, great seas, undulating plains, beautiful gardens in blossom, brooks, a sky full of stars, and a blazing sun... And you, facing all these marvels, stay enclosed in this darkness..."
The unborn child, knowing nothing about these marvels, wouldn't believe any of it.
Like us, when we're facing death.
That's why we're afraid.

H: But there can't be light in death, because it's the end of everything.

B: How can death be the end of something that doesn't have a beginning?

San Francesco & San Nicolò (Treviso)

2009-07-08T01:16:00.013+03:00

Church of San Nicolò is a large Romanesque-Gothic building adorned with interesting frescoes by Tommaso da Modena (one of the best 14C painters after Giotto). In the Onigo chapel, you can also see portraits by Lorenzo Lotto. In the chapter-house of the adjoining monastery are portraits of Dominicans by Tommaso da Modena.

The Church of San Francesco was built from 1230 to 1270 near the Walls; it rose for the Pope Innocenzo III’s will and thanks to donations of municipality and of Trevisan aristocracy. The church was raised when the Romanesque was ending and the Ghotic was growing, the features of this period are very evident and we may find in some architectonic components: the Romanesque components (the arches of the transepts and entrance main door) mix with those Gothic (the arches of background chapels and the windows).
