a-m_e|k p_113 Eyal Talmor (DE), Chavdar Manolchev & Angel Simitchiev, Autonomaton at НУЛА, Varna on 04/07

Summer's here, but we're returning to НУЛА, Varna, in alliance with Electronic Sound Corps & TON 618 for another evening, dedicated to experimental and atmospheric sounds. German electronic artist Eyal Talmor is playing in Bulgaria for the first time, but the opening acts will not be less exciting. The night will begin with a live set by Nikolay Stanchov's dub ambient / noise project Autonomaton and the debut collaborative performance by Chavdar Manolchev (Crowfish, Outrage, Indignity) & Angel Simitchiev (Born Erased, Expectations).

See you at 20:00, on July 4th, at НУЛА. It's a free donation show. Support the artists if you can.

amek073 His Last Winter - Dissolution CS

Order on tape & digital here.

His Last Winter is a new endeavor by Asen Santev, the guitar mastermind behind Bulgarian doom and post-metal powerhouses Trysth, Upyr, and Brodnik. Dissolution documents his first recorded solo explorations of intense guitar-centered drone soundscapes and noise. The full-length is a slowly unfolding cathartic journey into the realms of heavily amplified guitar sound. Recorded in one session and spanning five compact pieces, the record morphs from sustained metallic tones to meditative yet anxiety-drenched loops, through ritualistic amp-worshipping riffage, before it all disintegrates into walls of crushing feedback and chaotic guitar noise.

Written and performed by Asen Santev

Recorded and mixed by Mihail Slavov (Wind City Studio)

Mastered by Marius Costache (Studio 148)

Artwork photography and layout by Angel Simitchiev
