The Rites series touches on the importance of ceremony and ritual in our daily lives. It deals with our interconnectedness with nature as a whole and the necessity to acknowledge and use this connection as an amplifier of thoughts, ideas and emotions. Minimal, meditative ambient drones with layers of meandering guitars and voices mixing elements of doom, drone and ambient experimentation. Rites III & IV expand on the shamanic and animistic path, an ongoing journey through flesh, sound and spirit. bio : | doom/drone/lo-fi/shamanistic/soundscape/noise/folk..... from Antwerpen, Belgium A project in a search of a shamanistic perspective, channeling at times minimal, meditativ drones; and at other a catharsis of doom, noise and experimentation touching upon folk, post rock, psychedelica and more. But always in a free form. After having spend time in numerous bands and sound art projects, (Building Transmissions, Station Grey, Stifled Cries, Maya, Code Ishan, Sombra DeBestia); collaborations with Aaron Turner of Isis, Mary Bellamy, Douglas Park, SamonTakahashi, Carl Michael Von hauswolff, Stephan Beck, Kris Delacourt, ...) ASHTORETH was formed in Antwerp, Belgium during winter of 2010. After a first performance at the Entree>Exit exhibition ASHTORETH was offered a collaboration with underground fashion label Pelican Avenue, whom dedicated a new collection of clothing to ASHTORETH's music. This was presented at the Paris Fashion Week in March 2011 and resulted in a singlesided LP by the name of 'ITOBIA', recorded live during the performance, and was released in October 2011 by Pelican Avenue, limited to 300 copies. ASHTORETH is a solo-project in search of a shamanistic perspective, channeling at times minimal, meditative drones with layers of meandering guitars and at others a catharsis of doom, drone,ambient, folk, metal, noise and experimentation. always in a free and improvised form. ASHTORETH is a one man's journey into the unknown, exploring new sonic landscapes with every single live performance, sometimes accompanied by projected film. # | | # >-------------------------------------------------------------------< tracklist: - [ 1 , "Rite III" , 00:21:44.137 ] - [ 2 , "Rite IV" , 00:15:35.444 ] # \____________________________________________________________________/ # #/---------------------------------------------------------------------\ news: | 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 #| | #| | # >-------------------------------------------------------------------< #| Sites: D... ..... ...... - T3 - 16GB - Xxx.xx.xxx.xxx | # >~~~~~~ M........ - E1 - 09GB - Xxx.xx.xxx.xxx +> #| R..... ...... ...... - E1 - 09GB - Xxx.xx.xx.xxx | # >-------------------------------------------------------------------< #| | greetings: all #| | #\--------- --=[ Thinking AMOK - The Superior Lifestyle ]=-- ----------/ # \___________________________________________________________________/
