Roto Visage http://virb.com/rotovisage www.rotovisage.com "Roto Visage is the machine that attacks from hiding... the first sounds are gentle, a bit masked and then there is the full force blow. The music evokes anxiety, it explores such territories where one senses the danger and wants to escape and yet is kept in one place by something. Definitely it's not the music to accompany you in your everyday activities, it demands concentration, careful listening and contemplation... surely it's an uncanny soundscape still worth listening, at least to become familiar with remote (and not always friendly) areas of electronics.

"Where the Mandrakes Grow" is conceptualized around autoerotic asphyxiation, forming an abstract narrative into a singular autoerotic experience. A singular moment in flux within the body. The sound compositions consist of consciousness cut ups - flashes of memory and anomalies of the moment interweaving. Dark drone and experimental ambience. Mastered by the legendary Robert Rich. Beautiful 6-panal digi-CD designed by Anastasia Sarandou limited to 1,000 copies. Truly a great work of Dark Ambience. 64 minutes. Released on: Autumn Wind Productions. $11 usd. Tracklist: 1. Uproot, A Noose of Silk 2. Willows Deep 3. Visceral Monologue 4. Interlude: The Death of Kotzwara 5. Sickly Sweet Fertilizer 6. A Breath, Then It Comes 7. Aural Cavity Obstruction 8.

her final breath. From the label: Time has come for a fresh collaborative album, released by No Angels Prod. and Beast Of Prey. We would like to present a unique opus, which appears as a co-operation of Inner Vision Laboratory (Poland) and Roto Visage (USA) projects, symbolically entitled "Cinema Stain". Here, the listener is forced to wale in pathological and "impure" visualizations of human pain, fears and suffering, which are surprisingly seducing with subtle beauty. Some of the soundforms are painted heavily with a brush of rhythm while others flow like the spools of film spinning through a mechanical projector. The aim of both of the composers was to write an original soundtrack to a non-existent horror film – the result is excellent, and by taking vocal samples from other movies, they created also an auditory record of tension and melancholic darkness. For layout of this release, we used modified photographs from the very talented photographer - Karolina Kosowicz. Packaging is non-typical: professionally printed and professionally duplicated CDR with additional graphical insert are placed in a plastic box (slim dvd box type). Inserts and covers are professionally printed on gloss paper. Edition is limited to 200 hand numbered copies. More... Released on: No Angels Prod. & Beast of Prey.

Brothers, Roto Visage and Jugular Notch come together in a collaboration amounting to five atmospheric tracks of epic length to accompany one's inner dialog. As an incredibly personal endeavor for both artists, "Everything Is Brown" captures and documents moments in time and every area of the psyche, from birth and childhood to death.

"Everything is Brown" spawns from the entanglement of many sources, including field recordings in unsettling environments, home-made analog synthesizers, virtual synthesizers, vocal sampling, unconventional experimentation with vinyl records, improvisation, and an overall mental regurgitation of sound and emotion.

Tracklisting:
1. Air Filled Injection
2. Shot Glass Soil
3. Descaled Misease
4. Phonetiskope
5. How I Miss My Father

Starting with disc #4, each release in the Circle multi-artist series includes a highly collectable limited edition 3" cd housed in a letterpressed cardboard sleeve hand-printed by Matt Borghi. All Circle releases contain one 20 minute track from an artist focusing on ambient and minimal electronic music. Each issue will be made available in an edition of 50 numbered copies. Once they are sold out, no more will be re-printed.

Roto Visage has become Kikapu's resident dark ambient master, crafting dense soundscapes from a variety of audio sources and musical drones. 'Solange,' his intensely engaging submission for Kikapu's Circle series, takes his approach for composition and turns it on it's head, challenging the listener to keep up with the flurry of ideas and sounds rushing through one's psyche. This massive work feels as if you get a peek into Roto Visage's mind, but he has control of the dials and you're forced to come along for the ride. This piece is a massive achievement and a very worthy addition to Kikapu's Circle series.

ATUM / ROTO VISAGE - Syndrom Cotarda
CDr 2007

/dark ambient/

Split of two exponents of murky sounds. Well known from dark ambient labels project ATUM in cooperation with american dark project ROTO VISAGE created over 40 minutes disc which presents heavy and funeral (gloomy?)dark ambient as title syndrome. Cotard’s syndrome - People with Cotard's Syndrome believe that they do not exist. Cotard's sufferers complain of having lost everything: possessions, part of or entire body, often believing that he or she has died and is a walking corpse. Paradoxically, being "dead" often gives the patient the notion of being immortal. This form of depressive disorder was described by psychiatrist, Jules Cotard, in 1880. Unconventional release - format 13 x 15 cm, cover printed on cardboard. All together is composed of two separate telescopic pieces. First piece is a printed wrapper. CD is held by a rubber ring.
