Bandcamp

The episode will delve into how global hyperconnectivity has enabled the diffusion and mutation of traditional folklore, exploring how contemporary artists are deconstructing and recomposing sounds and narratives rooted in ancient cultural traditions. The result is a fusion of past and present, giving rise to new forms of expression that balance collective memory and artistic innovation.

In the second episode, Rublev tackles one of the new frontiers of electronic music and computer music: the use of technological limits as aesthetic elements in musical research. Dithering, digital compression effects, found-sound in the internet age, AI. A vast world to explore and constantly evolving as much as the technologies that compose it. The limits of humanity meet the limits of technology.

Featured artists in this episode:

Audio snippets from viral or obscure social media posts, artificially generated sound sources, MIDI downloaded from random internet websites and the reorganised in the DAW via software instruments. “Pivot” is an attempt to animate them like some sonic Frankenstein’s monster.

Bandcamp

» ANKUBU manipulates and distorts samples and synthesizers, taking them to extreme consequences, changing familiar sounds into alien ones, denying their intrinsic nature: rave kick drums used in a non-rhythmic way, field recordings and synths slowed down beyond belief and changed in tone, drowned in distortion and reverb. The concept of time is canceled and what we think we know changes its appearance.

Bandcamp

» BIENOISE welds together crisp high definition modal synthesis and esoteric lo-fi field recordings, choking machine learning algorithms, diy electronic lutherie and overflown old hardware, structures-as-narrative, the silence of the author and more mp3 glitches.

Influenced by the approaches of computer music pioneers is composed starting from two canons written by means of electronic arpeggios that were later expanded thanks to Max/MSP sound extraction patches.

longer and longer sound patterns. From this initial unpredictable structure, the musicians have included further improvised overdubs including wind instruments (alto saxophone and toleat), field recordings, and additional synth lines.

Bandcamp

» GERMAN ARMY is a duo from the United States. samples and field recordings from differentmusical tradition are mangled in many different ways to expose their nature of digital recordings, creating a sonic world that challenges the idea of documentation and reproduction of recorded sounds.

Bandcamp

» ANDREIJ RUBLEV & BIENOISE “Ghost Track: Voices Where There Are No Voices” is an unreleased track from Andreij Rublev upcoming album “Implosions”. In collaboration with Bienoise. Using google meet calls and creating a feedback loop of just noise, they tried to exploit the voice recognition and noise suppression algorythms, and force them to find voices where there are nothing except their own signal, like ghost AI voices flowing through the data stream of the internet.

In the third episode, Rublev takes us to discover words and their sounds. An insight into the possible combinations of spoken word, rap and slam poetry with the languages of contemporary music (from funk to jazz, from noise to free improvisation).

Featured artists in this episode:

Bandcamp

In the fourth episode, Rublev takes us to discover the vast world of field recordings: the practices, purposes, uses of field recordings of various acoustic environments (musical and otherwise) and their applications in sound design, in musical compositions, for the documentation of sound phenomena in danger of extinction.

Featured artists in this episode:

In the fifth episode, Rublev takes us to discover the new declinations of jazz in the contemporary world: improvisation and liveness, composition and post-production, distant and unusual genres mixes.

In the seventh episode we will discover some of the recent outputs of one of the most popular musical genres in the world: metal. Born in the 80s as an extreme evolution of rock, it survives and is still played and listened to.

One of the main reasons for this long life is that it is perceived by those who listen to it as a lifestyle, a series of shared values that build a strong sense of community (like for punk, from which it inherits some facets). It is not afraid to take active positions of any political nature (shareable or not), to be underground and an actual subculture. It is often opposed to the commercial logic that characterizes the mainstream music market. But it can also be pure popular entertainment that fulfills stadiums and arenas.

Metal is about attitude, it is a vision of the world, not only music. Although its subgenres are extremely canonized, there is also space for experimentation and hybridization. In this episode we will discover some of them, with a focus on the Italian scene.

Featured artists in this episode:

» EKBOM – self-released debut from this Italian noise/post-metal act. Harsh, raw and full of distortion, it blends crusty sludge with punk ethics and DIY energy.

Bandcamp

Bandcamp

» TETSUO – “Dots” (Hypershape Records) explores the territories between mathcore, experimental metal and progressive structures, with complex rhythms and a cinematic feel.

Bandcamp

In the eighth episode we discover the oldest instrument known to mankind: the human voice. The voice arises from the body but projects outside of it: it is language, communication, sound, music. The voice is a constant in human history, a vehicle of oral traditions well before writing, an instrument of connection between individuals. And what about today? In this episode we will discover musicians who explore the voice and its infinite expressive possibilities.

Featured artists in this episode:

» MAREWREWUkouk. Round Singing Voices of the Ainu 2012-2024
Marewrew (pronounced: Ma-leoo-leoo) is a female vocal group that sings traditional Ainu songs.

Bandcamp

» ASA HORVITZ, CARMEN QUILL, ARIADNE RANDALL, WAYNE HORVITZGHOST
Asa Horvitz wanted a musical language to evoke our experiences with loss. He looked to the past for answers, assembling a dataset of over 150 pre-existing texts that deal with grief, and towards the future for the tools, feeding them through a custom AI system. The piece that Horvitz and his ensemble built with the help of this material was cryptic, singular, and emotionally unguarded: a stunning music-theater piece called GHOST.

Bandcamp

» AGFpoemproducer
Poetess, activist and new media artist Antye Greie-Ripatti, alias AGF, utilises language, sound, politics and explores speech within the audible depths of anti-rhythmic post-internet assemblages. The record centres around the human body, voice, text, bass, field, what is free, hands as technology, non-synchronised, finding tone and language, within field work and intimacy of self.

Bandcamp

In the ninth episode we discover free improvisation and some of its main characteristics. We will also have the pleasure of hearing the voices of Francesca Naibo, Francesco Cigana, Nick Acorne and Kamal Sabran (thanks from the bottom of our hearts!), musicians who put improvisation at the core of their sound research. It will be a surprising journey, a collectively narrated story made of sounds and words. Ears and minds open — the sound is free here!

When I was a teenager we had a ritual with my music-loving friends: we used to burn CDs with our latest music discoveries. Tons of MP3s, songs, artists and musical genres. We shared everything we liked. Do you also have piles of CD-Rs with marker writings on them, or for the oldest ones, recorded cassette tapes full of names written with a pen on the tiny cover sheets?

The tenth and final episode of Under the Label is just like one of those CDs or cassettes (or digital playlists for the younger generations) that we used to share between friends. There’s everything in it, from large orchestras to solo projects, from singer-songwriters to hyperpop, from black metal to free improvisation and much more. Two and a half hours, a selection of my favourite releases of 2024 and early 2025. A gift to thank you all for listening to Under the Label and for sharing these months and this music together! THANK YOU ALL, LISTENERS!
