Jansky Noise - Past Present & Future Star Music

I finally released the album—Born  of Black Light . I hope you can feel the heart in this one, I spent a while blending  space jazz ,  reimagined '80s sci-fi electronica ,  Detroit techno , and  be-bop into this LP . So what the F&&K is the album about? Born of Black Light  tells the story of  Orion Vox , a quantum mystic navigating his mind, space, lost futures, and the utopian potential of collective liberation. Through 10 tracks, the album explores themes of  time ,  ancestral wisdom , and the  haunting beauty of unrealized possibilities .  It’s a journey designed to help us all look inside, as well as through  galaxies. Each track marks a clear path on Orion's journey. I hope the album will leave you questioning the nature of your own reality and the space we live in day by day. A Fusion of Genres The album blends genres to create a sound that recalls the past and paints some of the following: Space Jazz : Think cos...

Every now and again, while gliding through the digital wilds, you stumble upon something raw, quirky, and ridiculously funked up fun. Today’s treasure? The track "Warrior Dance" by No Boundaries, tucked snugly into the surreal wonderland of Toejazz for Debby on Bandcamp. It’s a groovy banger that demands your attention—and maybe a little toe-tapping—while it spins you into its kaleidoscopic multiverse of sound. The compilation Toejazz for Debby is an mashed up mix of tracks curated to tickle your auditory senses and rewire or redirect you to other waves. It’s a glitchy, jazzy, Afro-Cuban, funkadelic trip in which I found  "Warrior Dance" on SIDE A - it feels like unlocking a hidden level in some retro video game: pixelated trees sway, as a crunchy computer digi-kazoo breeze curls around your avatar’s body, and somehow Chakka Khan, and brasstactic funk, launch into your ear drums, and drive you ont an 80 archadian battle field in orbit. This song is a pure pack j...

Step into the haze, the dreamscape, the cosmic jazz labyrinth— In the Wrong Café is now live and ready to transport you. Real track one. Real wrong. Real right. Orion Vox, our space-time traveler and mystic of the quantum realms, finds himself suspended in a strange moment—somewhere between a smoke-filled café in Greenwich Village circa 1940 and an uncharted point in the distant future. It’s a place that feels “wrong,” yet teems with something irresistibly right: the allure of the unknown, the pulse of celestial brass, and the hum of alternate realities colliding. The saxophone wails not just for the moment but for centuries lost and futures not yet born. It’s as if the walls themselves bend to the rhythm of a cosmic bebop, a labyrinth where every note is a portal and every silence a universe. Disorientation is the guide here, the muse. Orion, ever the seeker, is caught in a broken “jazz maze,” sipping on dreams in a hazy parade. The Afrofuturist jazzy slab attempts to blend timelines...

Thirteen years ago, on November 11, 2011, I released my last album, Jansky Noise – Slow Order V2. An abstract, experimental dive into the electronic unknown, it was a project born of restless curiosity. Its release marked an end—an output pulled into a sleeping liquid of milk in the accompanying video, dissolving into stillness. But nothing truly disappears. Matter lingers, waiting. Ideas float, unresolved. And now, I feel reborn, ready to create again, reconnecting with the flow I’ve missed so deeply. Being creative, being free, and letting sound unfold is the purest joy—the energy I live for. New work is on the horizon, some of it digital, and perhaps even finding a home on a label. This time, the journey takes on a narrative—a story like a movie or novel. Fictional, yes, but rooted in the boundless possibility of sound. Our protagonist, Orion Vox, steps forward. Disoriented, lost—or maybe discovering—he begins in what might be a café in Greenwich in the 1940s. Or is he drifting thro...

Born of Black Light LP will arrive soon! The first BONUS track, "In the Corridors with Santanna," inspired by Krautrock, epic narratives, and free-spirited exploration, is already here. This track is a bonus from the album and features stunning guitar work by Brokli. Together, we added vocal harmonies to enrich its spiritual atmosphere. The name "Santanna" is reference to Orange and Lemo - "Dreams of Santa Anna" as well as to the legend Carlos Santana, the double "n" symbolizing the "noise" that permeates this entire project. I’ll be releasing more tracks from Born of Black Light through the winter solistice.  If all goes well, the full album will be out over 2024-2025.  This collection is a wild blend of space jazz, Afrofuturism, noise, and vintage-drenched electronica.  The real opening track of the album track one is, "In the Wrong Café," this is also available now via streaming. Join our protagonist, Orion Vox, as he embar...

We’ve been looking death in the eye recently, Saying goodbye to an old heart— A final beat that echoes through the fabric of time. The profound weight of life and death hangs, A truth we can’t escape, Yet, in this confrontation, We find something stirring— A spark that becomes a catalyst, A force propelling us forward. So, what are we doing? We are making things. We are reigniting the flames that flicker through this brief existence. Our time traveller, Orion Vox, A traveller not just through space, But through the threads of time itself, Is being forged. A story of the now, Of the space we occupy, Of all the worlds that dance around us. More soon. But for now, We move. We create. Because when faced with the end, It is not the end we must fear, But the moments we let slip by. So we hold tight, To the reigniting, The journey, The spark that refuses to die.

Island Dream Beat Golden strings strum and weaving  rays into waves, vibrations sun,  a hymn, a hum, where time goes yum You hat rift  with heads held high, painted the melon toast on a mango sky. Hip, hip, and palms swing, whispering secrets of a carefree thing. No shirt, no socks, just the tide's embrace, a rhythm of freedom, a sacred space. Tambourine laughs, a steel drum sighs, and the ocean croons  the soul cannot deny. Snap to the beat of the swaying breeze, island spirits waltzing through the trees. Golden hours, a sun-kissed trance, feet in the sand, caught in the dance. Island in the sun, you’re more than a song, Let’s ride this tune 'til the day is done, under the coming moon,  baked in the island sun.

In an age where musical legends still walk among us, the interview with Archie Shepp by Ashley Kahn on February 22, 2020, at the Portland Jazz Festival stands out as an incredible piece of history. For anyone interested in the roots of black music, and indeed all music, this interview is an absolute joy. It provides a profound look into the life and career of one of jazz's most influential figures. Archie Shepp, the renowned saxophonist and vocalist, performed that evening with his exceptional quartet, featuring Lafayette Harris on piano, Avery Sharpe on bass, and Ronnie Burrage on drums. Shepp's reflections during the interview offered a deep dive into his musical journey, touching on the elements of surprise and creativity that define jazz. His voice, both in song and speech, carries the weight of decades of experience and innovation. Taking us through his early years, Shepp shared how his experiences at Goddard College in Vermont shaped his approach to music. His exposure to...

Uncle Acid and the Dead Beats have unleashed "Nell Ora Blue. We are looking at one of the tracks from the album Ritorno All'oscurità," a track that pulls listeners into a hauntingly familiar, yet eerily unique soundscape. Where nostalga and the sinister still allure. "Ritorno All'oscurità" along with many other track from the album feel like the perfect soundtrack to a lost 70s horror flick. According to Kevin Starrs the album was inspired by films like - Things like Five Dolls for an August Moon (1970), The Fifth Cord (1971), and All the Colours of the Dark (1972) a loved Edwige film and more.   Expect a tape warping warm vintage production reminiscent of an era where analogue ruled and digital was but a distant dream. This particular song's title, translating to "Return to Darkness," is a fitting nod as it almost drives you from a dark period, into another one ahead at the next crossing, a sort of quite atmosphere but one where you know you a...

G.I. Gurdjieff: Encuentros con Hombres Notables (1979) , directed by Peter Brook, is a biographical drama based on the life of the mystic and spiritual teacher George Ivanovich Gurdjieff. The film traces Gurdjieff's early years and his quest for knowledge through his travels and encounters with various remarkable individuals who influenced his spiritual development. The narrative focuses on Gurdjieff's journey from his youth, detailing the teachings he received from his father and other masters, as well as his discovery of Sufi dances and the esoteric teachings known as the Fourth Way. These experiences culminate in his development of a unique spiritual path that integrates these diverse teachings. The film is known for its exploration of deep philosophical and spiritual themes, emphasizing that true faith and enlightenment come from profound personal understanding rather than blind adherence. It also highlights the extraordinary experiences and wisdom of the people Gurdjieff m...

In the steamy dancehall scene of the early '80s, Donnell Pitman's "Chocolate Lover" emerges as a funk-infused dance experiment. The groove-laden track contains an irresistibly smooth bassline and plenty of room in the mix. Pitman's voice is soft and not forceful. The production reminds me of so many things, but that snare in his studio on the day would have been ideal. It feels like it could be in a driving movie or a game. That vocal reminded myself of Colonal Abraham or Stevie Wonder. See whether that resonates with you.

In the heyday of disco's golden era, Peter Brown's "Dance With Me (Original 12 inch Mix)" emerged in 1978 as a quintessential anthem, epitomizing the vibrant energy and infectious rhythms that defined the late '70s dance scene. This track, with its extended mix, captures the essence of the discotheque experience, inviting listeners into a euphoric world of flashing lights and pulsating beats. From the first note, "Dance With Me" commands attention with its driving bassline and propulsive percussion, setting the stage for an exhilarating journey. The production is a masterful blend of funky guitar riffs, shimmering synthesizers, and lush strings, creating a rich tapestry of sound that envelops the listener. Brown's meticulous craftsmanship is evident in every layer, making this mix a standout in the crowded disco landscape. Peter Brown's vocals are a perfect match for the track's exuberant instrumentation. His smooth, inviting voice effortless...

  In his latest single, "Mother Gaia," Brokli taps into the profound essence of mindfulness and spiritual reverence for the Earth. The song is a spirited ode to the nurturing powers of nature and our intrinsic connection to it. Brokli’s lyrical prowess shines as he intricately weaves themes of environmental consciousness with personal enlightenment, making it a compelling listen for those attuned to both inner peace and global awareness. The chorus, “Gaia in your eyes, Gaia in your mind, Mother Gaia taking control,” is a potent reminder of Gaia's omnipresence. Brokli's invocation of the breath of air "coming from a place of love" underscores the belief that every element provided by Earth stems from compassion and sustenance, suggesting that turning to Gaia can bring inner peace and clarity.

  After reading two articles in the Guardian just published one by John Harris  and the other by Giles Patterson  I find myself wholeheartedly agreeing with them. As I observe the UK, we are heading towards a world where any live shows we find are the ones which are efficiently organised and booked with the most sterilised of musics. I mean the type of top tier performances where they are asking big cash in advanced for a live event, and that leave nothing to chance.  The grassroots are being erased from existence in clubland, and we are forced indoors behind our screens where Tik-Tok and Instagram help us to find any given new music champion. Small venues, pubs, bars, and nightclubs are closing doors and being eliminated systematically. This is a slow degrading of our culture and society as those dives, backroom clubs, and dingy places, were always the places where random music experiences happened - but this not just the loss of a venue. We are on the merry go...
