2011-12-05 Attenuation Circuit (GER) release Esa Ruoho: Riversmouth (3" minicd-r in mini-dvd-case)

Finnish musician Esa Ruoho has been releasing experimental techno for about a decade, mainly under the name Lackluster. His real name is reserved for the more abstract, less rhythmical side of his work in electronic music. "Riversmouth", his first release on Attenuation Circuit, is a perfect example of this. There are no beats, but lots of things happening in terms of shifting shapes of granular textures, high-frequency oscillations working against seismic trembles in the lower bass regions, and then the occasional hauntological voice-like overtone structures. Full of harmonic tension, but never noisy, this release might appeal to fans of Asmus Tietchens, Alva Noto and other Mille Plateaux acts, or even Phill Niblock. Within the Attenuation Circuit catalogue, Esa Ruoho's release provides an exciting new take on the drone/ambient borderland also inhabited by EMERGE, B*tong, Sghor, Mystified, and Sustained Development.

2011-11-08 V/A: Terraform released, V/A: Neferiu Sampler 2011 released.

Kahvi Collective release V/A: Terraform with two Lackluster tracks, "Sina" and "Footsteps". Neferiu Records release V/A: Neferiu Sampler 2011 with "Raindrops" on it.

2011-07-11 Happy 155th Birthday - Nikola Tesla!

V/A: Tesla 155 [Zimmer075] (tune: Lackluster: 588177 Apparatus for Producing Ozone)
For some he is a genius. For some he is the greatest Inventor of modern history. For some he is still unknown – although we use his technology nearly every day. Nikola Teslas life and visions are exciting stories – some of the visions sound unbelievable, but worth a listen. His concepts of Electromagnetic Fields and Free Energy are more than just fiction and could solve many modern Problems…
Happy Birthday Nikola – your ideals are not forgotten…….
