Like the soundtrack to a video game that was never developed, based on an 80's computer fantasy movie that was never filmed, is the sound of "Inside the Blue Tube", the newest release from Rezkar. This full length album follows up on the deep and moody tech-house grooves of his previous release, and brings in a more driving techno edge to the tracks, but through use of subtle pads in odd harmonies and shuffled syncopations...

| [JON7NET014] Sidewalk Salad - mystified
It's a pleasure to have this guest release from mystified on Jon7.net Microlabel, from a man whose very name is synonomous with being prolific. This release continues mystified's previous work in phonography and subsequent manipulation, and is an interesting additonal chapter to the story mystified's music and field recordings tell about the life and world he lives in. (I myself am now more curious than ever to visit St...

| [JON7NET016] Sound Without Film remixes - Various Artists
When deciding how to release the "Sound Without Film" originals, I put out an open call for remixes on a few forums to see what kind of interest there would be. Surprisingly, there was considerable interest from members of diferent netlabels, and the Archive.org Netlabel forum users. The remixes on this release are in the order they were received, and I am pleased to present them all to you. The talented remixers come from all over, and include memebers of Kikapu, Walltapper, Sinewaves, eDogm, R...

The creator of this release, Instant, was one of the producers invited to participate in the sample pool project. It took a while, but he came through for us, and how! This is the most unique release on this label, and may possibly have the distinction of being the longest single netlabel release to date. Readers are encouraged to disprove me if I am wrong! Weighing in at a hefty 8 and a half hours, this release provides an entire sleep cycle of unusual and enjoyable sounds, each one named after...

| [JON7NET015] Sound Without Film - Jon 7
In late 2004 I was given the heads-up by a filmmaker friend of mine that he was working on a new film, and that he wanted me to supply the music. Over the next year and a half we occasionally bumped into each other, each time with him reminding me that he still wanted music. He described the film as being like "Bagdad Cafe", only a bit more gothic. The pieces on this release are the themes that were going to be submitted for use in the film, but alas, the film never got finished...

| [JON7NET001] Artefacts - Jon 7
"Artefacts" Is a collection of many of my early tracks that were composed from a period between 1995-1997, during a time when I was first beginning to stretch out and compose electronic music on my own. I had been performing in a number of bands previous to this point, and had decided to trade it in for a while for some solo sound exploration. The tracks on this album reflect a number of different sounds and techniques I was using at the time, and it is a fascinating document through an earlier ...

These pieces were inspired afte reading a review of "music is rotted one note" by Squarepusher, and while they bear very little relation to that album, motivation is motivation. The tracks were mostly created in a couple of afternoons, then 3 months later additional tracks were discovered on a CD i had purposely hidden from myself. They fit the feeling of the others so they were added. The name comes from the idea that when certain pieces of music appear to provide only very minimal amounts of d...

In late summer of 2006, labelmate Vanilla Sandro and I were wrapping up work on our respective halves of 'Divided States/Territory' [JON7NET018]. He began to tell me about a pool of samples he was creating for an upcoming project, and he suggested that I would enjoy using them as well for a project of my own. We decided then that after finishing work on the other projects we were both working on that it would be fun to each do a release based on those samples...

Our second guest release from Mystified, "Puzzle Street" is a follow up to his previous release "Sidewalk Salad", and it's a natural one. Many of the same themes are continued in this release, the manipulation of real-world sounds and the simple, sometimes microscopic recording of sounds for their own sake. Subdued beats and basslines give some tracks a relaxed classic Mystified feeling. The ambience created by the use of field recordings gives the album an overall feeling of "being there" as ev...

The first dance release on this netlabel in a while, these four scenic house tracks were provided by Rezkar in South Africa. While it's summer here, it's winter there and these tracks provide a gentle evening-into-night feeling. Rezkar is currently working on a new full-length album to be released in the future, so for now enjoy this introduction to his style!

Three pieces that were recorded around the same time, but were orphans from any other proper releases 'Air and Earth' and 'Virgo Pt. I' use simple minimal rhythms and heavy layers of granulated sounds. 'Virgo pt. I' is accompanied by a video, available at www.deeplydeep.com. 'Nightfall' uses layers of household item rhythms to create it's swirling hypnotic texture.

When we put out a call for demos, Roebin de Freitas, a young lad from Ghent, Belgium, sent a zip of smooth, streamlined melodic minimal techno, which made a nice impression. On this label, guest artists are encouraged to take risks and be inventive, so Roebin obliged and after a few months, presented us with the full album of quirky, expressive IDM style tracks. Each track is named after an animal, and many of the tracks display rhythms and syncopations more like the movement of animals than the...

After spending some time in the darker end of sound lately on this label, we take a different turn and present some moody and melodic IDM style tracks we have been enjoying lately. Impset (Christophe Cabanie) has been excited by the sounds of electronic music for more than a decade, and has recently begun producing his own tracks. Impset is but one of his many production projects, and the music is warm, dubby, textural ambient, which at times carries a disquieting feel but remains fascinating an...

Continuing with the theme of 'Winter music' come these two pieces. The first uses naturally abundant rain sounds to re-create the unsettling power of the heavy Oregon rainstorms. The second is a short snowflake dance in honor of the snow that so rarely falls here in the winter, except on the day the cover pictures were taken, some 2 weeks after the recording was finished.

"Distant Signals" is some of my more ambient, almost new-age style of work. These pieces were largely created as a means of achieving an ultra-peaceful state of mind. All I can really say is that you will enjoy listening to it as you lie back, imagining being a signal passing through space from one node to another, the way i envisioned it while making these tracks.

This collection of remixes was done in 2000 from my own material that had been gathering since early 1996. At this time in my musical progress, I was working with fairly primitive equipment, and didn't know anyone even in my growing circle of electronic musicians that was capable of or even interested in remixing each other's material. So I set out and did it myself. Building upon many of the same techniques I was using, I applied old and new techniques to the remixes...

"Can of Drone" is the third guest release for this label by mystified, and the material presented within explores some new sonic territory that departs somewhat from previous work. The overall sound is bolder and noisier, and successfully blends elements of noise, dark ambient and home-taped sound in a way that cleverly avoids easy classification. The sounds are sometimes lush and dense, other times sparse and gritty, but all throughout this release and its many moods, the sonic perspective that...

This release comes from Vanilla Sandro, the newest artist on jon7.net microlabel. Coming from Maastricht, the Netherlands, his style is developing a brooding mxture of dark experimental ambience and stripped down minimal rhythms. The two minimal tech tracks and the two dark-edged ambient tracks on this release carry through them a cinematic feel, picturing scenes of dark times and moods.

Two long-form ambient pieces somewhat in the style of 'Ambient Numbers' [JON7NET003], using drones, synth arpeggios, and semi-randomized processes. Great pains have been taken to prevent these pieces from being unlistenably repetitive, but the most will be gained by listening to them at night, on the edge of sleep.

From the respctive labs of Jon 7 and Vanilla Sandro come these two dark explorations into forbidding areas.

Three sonic pictures of a walk through nearly-empty fields. these pieces in my mind take me back to places and times as a kid i use to feel very connected, and hoped someday to be able to translate into some form of art. The cover art also takes advantage of the 'wood imagery' that is very prevalent in Oregon, but since there are no lightning bugs here, that comes from my memories of living in the South.

I spent most of the summer hanging out with friends in the rougher part of town and had the fortune of catching the train early in the morning at a crossing near the grain mill. The resulting field recording was subjected to numerous effects processes and melded together in an elongated collage of train sounds. The recording itself was done on a portable cassette recorder with a handheld mike, and the lo-fi recording gave this release a very gritty, rough quality (somewhat reminiscent of the qua...

After some intriguing conversations with Thomas Park (aka Mystified) about fractal and generative music, I decided the time was right for me to try composing a fractal piece of my own. I had decided that the ocean floor would be the theme I would work with. That inspiration came from DJ Mitch, whose Deeply Deep netlabel had released some music and video of mine, and had as its motto, "exploring the ocean floor of music"...

Like a derivation of a derivation on a proof comes this collection of mixes and remixes of tracks from our previous release, "Sourcery". In the midnight kitchens of Jon7.net HQ, the component sauces of "Sourcery" were combined and modified to create new recipes. Some natural new ones appeared, such as "Steak Marinade" and "Honey Mustard". But as the night wore on, the recipes became stranger, resulting in such edible goodies as "Hot Fish Syrup" and "Tartar Dessert Gravy"...

These pieces was created out of assigning harmonically related patterns to MIDI notes determined by dice.

The remixes were done later and are just now seeing the light of day on the internet.

During work on music videos for FOEM in 2006, I was donated a number of video files taken in Romania, which I was unable to use because of the PAL format. I was able to extract the audio from the files, and this release is a collage of those audio extracts. Many of the recordings were made on a train, so in listening you get a sort of warped scenic tour through Romania, painted largely in processed audio.
