![[audio]](/images/mediatype_audio.gif) | Lee Rosevere - The Gold Room - Happy Puppy Records
"The Gold Room" was created using a combination of audio manipulation techniques inspired by the experiments of Brian Joseph Davis and Alvin Lucier. Each piece is the result of playing all the songs from a particular artists 'gold collection' (or greatest hits release) simultaneously. The sound is then played back to itself over and over (often over a hundred times at least) as if it were playing a room over loudspeakers, adding a new layer of natural room reverb with every pass...

| Lee Rosevere - B.A.M. soundtrack - Happy Puppy Records
Liner Notes from original cassette release (1997): This project started about 2 years ago, when I got a call from a nameless Director (a small, but influential underground filmmaker of unknown origin) who asked me if I was interested in composing a soundtrack to his yet-to-be-completed film, B.A.M. I was thrilled. I had been experimenting with instrumental music that virtually had no other means of being released...

His tortured love ballads, crooned with an ache that cannot be understated, were beyond description. And as soon as he appeared, he vanished.

Ghost Words is Lee Rosevere's first solo piano improvisational release, digitally recorded live with no overdubs or edits. These compositions do not follow traditional song structure. Much like a layered painting, emotion is the guiding force behind invention: melodies hide inside one another, and moods and textures change frequently. Lee's musical influences include Zappa's instrumental work, Michael Snow, Steve Reich, and John Cage...

"'deeply present moment' was a very difficult album for me to produce. It relied very heavily upon the utilization of various outside sound sources (i.e. shortwave radio, record player, micro-cassette deck, etc) as opposed to my usual, very software driven production style and were also only recorded in a single attempt (thus, the title "deeply present moment"). These sounds were then ran through my mixer and recorded straight to mp3 at 256 kbps...

| c4 - nothing [hpr027] - Happy Puppy Records
c4 returns with another EP of spacey electronic loops and grooves. Very much in the style of Jean Michel-Jarre and spacey-masters The Orb, these four tracks show Adam's melodic side, but still retain the hypnotic quality from his other work. By using no percussion or drums, the music has a floating quality, with movement propelled by the rhythm of the melodies. Quite easily a favorite of mine out of all of Adam's work - download it now, you will enjoy it too.

Scrap Heap makes his debut on Happy Puppy with the experimental noise EP Outset. Scott Graue, the man behind Scrap Heap, is also a fellow netlabeler and propriator of Oceanbase label. Unlike a lot of noise music produced, Scott's approach to taking a single solitary sample and stretching, expanding and morphing it beyond it's original form, is intelligent and dynamic. Using distortion and tones as percussion, the sound constantly moves and keeps you guessing and interested in what will happen ne...

Just in time for fall, the ambient electronic work of Graffiti Mechanism joins the Happy Puppy label with his EP "Harvest Moon". The title is definitely an indication of the kind of mood the music gives, somewhere in between the organic feeling of the season and the electronic warmth that can happen with the ambient genre. Go for a walk with your earbuds in a pumpkin patch. We hope you enjoy this EP as much as we do.

Tidal EP - Aural Surfaces When I was a child I had recurring dreams that were primarily textural, my fingertips touching various surfaces. The dreams weren't particularly pleasant, but not nightmares either. The structure of the dream consisted solely of variation in texture, and within that synaesthetic nature of dreams the experience seemed simultaneously aural. Those dreams abandoned me at age 12 or so, but a lot of my music is an attempt to recapture those textures, to plot those surfaces in...

Fields is the third album released by the Italian one-man-act Bessemerr. Under the shell of noisy electro-dub and electro-acoustic suggestions,the entire work is inspired by the futurist artist Ardengo Soffici: like his poetry, Fields tries to re-create the junction between the profound empathy with the homeland (Tuscany: the same for both) and the impulse to dynamism, a typical futurist feature.
