comment: |
The Haunting Triptych is a collaboration between K11
(aka Pietro Ribarbelli) and Philippe Petit.
A haunted Drone, Electro-acoustic, Dark ambient soundtrack,
giving an impression that some ghosts are lurking around…
Dragging listeners inside a world full of malevolent creatures.
Three long drones full, not unlike some works of Lustmord or Nurse
With Wound, the sound is heavy and claustrophobic and the downward
spiral brings you to the final end, where the last sound you hear
before losing your senses is the beast eating your flesh.
The Haunting Triptych is an even denser piece of work. Over the
course of its three tracks, ranging from just under fourteen to just
over eighteen minutes, the pair carve extremely rich progressive
dark ambient drones and textured soundscapes from radio signals,
field recordings, electronics, processed acoustics, turntables and
glass manipulations. From the sombre isolationist tones of this
record emerge moments of glacial beauty. Twelve minutes into
Chapter 1: Residual Spookiness, the haunting toll of treated brass
rises from a cloud of distortions and noise to hover ominously over
the rest of the piece. The muffled calls of a distant choir on
Chapter 2: Shadow Creatures resonate eerily over the first half of
the piece, and the feeling never quite goes away, even when they
progressively become drowned in distortions and interferences.
Ghostly voices can also occasionally be heard piercing through
the gloom of Chapter 3: Doppleganger Presence, but it is the more
obvious stabs of unidentified noises peppered through the whole
piece, which could be everything and anything from rewinding tapes
or amplified bat calls to failing computers or paranormal
manifestations, which never cease to captivate and intrigue.
The heavy atmosphere weighting down on the whole album rarely
lifts up for long as Petit and Riparbelli submit their audience
to a particularly chilling sonic assault.

Hi chaps! This is the new retrofuturistic "back to the future"
obso-leet AMOK nfo hybridising oldskool ASCII art and YAML.
As a possible first in the scene (is it really?), we provide an nfo
that is designed to be both human and machine readable.
It is not so interesting for the average joe ripper listener but it
will be a useful tool for siteops, nukers, dupedb and archives
curators.
Why this?
Because we need a structure that can support metadata and UTF8.
As years pass, dirnames are getting stuffed with more and more
metadata. It is impossible to parse 100% reliably because dirnames
are just not designed to be storage for heterogenous metadata.
With id3v2, vorbis and .yml.nfo files, we can fix this problem,
we can have a more reliable dupechecking, automate common tasks,
filter and sort releases based on different metadata, such as
label and have more useful subgenres e.g. acid techno, deep house,
djent...
With .yml.nfo, you do not need read access to the media files and
id3 metadata, you can automate mandatory fields checks (eg. source
codec, purchase url)
nfo files supporting the yaml format should have the extension
.yml.nfo
e.g. 00-alice-bob-cd-2018.yml.nfo
The schema_version tag allows that nfo format to evolve and stay
compatible. The current schema will be published in the near
future to make sure all .yml.nfo released will use the same
structure and set of keys.
schema_version: 0.0.5
