Psychic War Against Cop City: An Extreme Music Compilation

The kind folks over at Delirium Psychosis Productions released a 50 track compilation titled "Psychic War Against Cop City: An Extreme Music Compilation" with the profits going to the Atlanta Solidarity Fund.

It's a good compilation with lots of interesting tracks and genres, and a very good cause.

Some of our artists participated, so if you're into the stuff we're doing, here's a great opportunity to contribute or just take a moment to learn about this important cause.

Here are the direct links to the tracks:

• Haggari Nakashe - Modern Life 
• gaop & NishMa - It Must Flow
• Paxit - The Hidden Tongue

Haggari Nakashe's track is a synth drone gone noise. gaop & Nishma's track is multilayered noise, with drums and heavily distorted woodwinds. Paxit delivered straight up experimental doom metal.

'Topic to Topic #2' by gaop & Haggari Nakashe

The following release sparks much joy in our hears.

It's a collaboration between Haggari Nakashe and gaop that's both beautiful and intelligent.

The rich, dark, ambient sounds of this track, are haunting and lovely, blending piano with synths in a droning and slows manner, suitable for both active and passive listening.

Here are a few words from the artists:

'Topic to Topic #2' is a musical experiment that seeks to examine what would happen to a piano composition ripped out from the modern or post modern genres, into the realms of downtempo, electronic drone music, effect-heavy and synth-laden.

The result is this atmospheric, 34 minute track. Beeping, humming, dragging like doom metal, yet retaining its grace.

'In and Out of Town' by gaop

 We're thrilled to present In and Out of Town by gaop. A wonderfully tiny EP that is as beautiful as it's ominous. 

It's a fun gem that dives headfirst into Eastern European traditional folk music, breaking the mold to study the pieces and rebuild it in a new, inspired way.

'In and Out of Town' is an exploration of Slavic and Balkan folk motifs via via the prism of avantgarde jazz, film scores, and improvised free music.

In these six tracks, clocking just under seven and a half minutes, this EP utilizes traditional Ukrainian wooden flutes, clarinet, recorders and sax to paint a multitrack picture that's can be both familiar and distant.

The woodwind sounds of this release can be eerie at times, or even haunting, but not deep under the experimental nature of this release, lie the sounds of home.
