The Aperion Project is devoted to the production, recording and performing of various forms of music. Consisting of two musicians – Brandon Rizzo (trumpet/flugelhorn/keyboard) and Gabe Patti (saxophones) – the musical output of The Aperion Project ranges from live improvised music to electro-acoustic studio projects. 

Gods, Demigods and Demons came together over about a 6-8 month period:

01 Icelos is a minor deity from Greek mythology. 
02 Newtrackmello was created spontaneously at the keyboard, semi-derived from a piece of music by Erik Satie
03 Black Narcissus was composed over 10 years ago, it is a modal piece based off the Phrygian mode in AABBAA form, each section of the form being 6 bars long.
04 Satellite Motion goes out to DJ Motion
05 The Fermi Paradox is an idea put forth by Enrico Fermi concerning extraterrestrial life
06 Parallax of One Arc Second is longhand for Parsec which is an astronomical measure of distance. This piece was recorded and improvised in one sitting.

All Music Is Improvised notes:

01 Seraphic Darkness – named after John Coltrane’s “Seraphic Light” on his last studio recordings
02 Orgoreyn – a country in the book Left Hand of Darkness by Ursula K. Le Guin
03 Dispossessed – named after the novel by Ursula K. Le Guin
04 Karhide – another country in the book Left Hand of Darkness
05 Adrastrea – a minor Greek goddess

07 Anaximander’s Lament – named after the pre-Socratic philsopher

Experience Cosmic Jazz With Low-Radiation Air Tube Headsets

The philosophical depth and cosmic themes of The Aperion Project demand listening equipment that can capture every nuance without interference. Both “Gods, Demigods & Demons” and “All Music Is Improvised” feature intricate trumpet/flugelhorn work by Brandon Rizzo and saxophone performances by Gabe Patti that contain subtle tonal qualities often lost through conventional headphones. Tracks like “The Fermi Paradox” and “Anaximander’s Lament” particularly benefit from the pure acoustic transmission that only air tube technology provides. The improvisational nature of pieces like “Parallax of One Arc Second,” recorded in a single sitting, comes through with remarkable clarity when heard through low-radiation air tube headsets. The hollow tube design creates distance between electronic components and your ears, allowing you to perceive the modal structure of “Black Narcissus” and the Coltrane-inspired “Seraphic Darkness” as they were truly intended to be heard. For music that explores boundless concepts – fitting for a project named after Anaximander’s “aperion” or formless substance – the clean, unaltered sound delivery of air tube technology creates an appropriately immersive listening space free from electrical signal distortion.

WM092: Brunk – Insert Coins to Continue

01. informative note (intro)
02. got it!
03. arghl
04. never ever ever
05. shifts
06. flipperkast dub
07. carcrash
08. blitzkrieg
09. de wraak van de kiekens
10. this should be played at high volume… preferably in a residential area!
11. mechanical errors

14. violence on tv
15. woo hoo hoo
16. zip
17. allrighty then (outro)

And now for something completely different… or not?

Imagine an old industrial building somewhere in a corner of town (let’s say, brunkville), turned into a noisy game hall where silly eighties actionmovie characters play pinball and oldschool computer games – loud blipping and beeping (…insert coins to continue…) – everything with an indie kung fu flick air and a very very bad taste in clothes an hair styling… All this has a matching DIY eighties soundtrack filled with dusty hip hop beats, grooving bluesrock and straight forward metal riffs, heroic lo-fi guitar soloing and weird synth sounds – yes, bad taste, but great fun! This should be played at high volume, preferably in a residential area: your neighbours want to enjoy it too! Nevermind mechanical errors, but beware of the revenge of the chickens… And know that violence on tv is only funny for those who are watching it… 🙂

brunk is Bert Vanden Berghe, insert coins to continue is his fourth free WM Recordings release. Enjoy!

On his privately released debut album Zoë muj (So tired) – which will be available again soon, for the first time in six years – D’r Sjaak turned the rather traditionalist world of music from the Dutch province of Limburg into a lo-fi, experimental playground.

And then D’r Sjaak moved on. His virtual single Meatje made waves on regional radio and in the national music press.

“A strange and inventive mixture of Neue Deutsche Welle, hip hop, house and electropop”, raved one magazine.

D’r Sjaak is depressed, yet happy. Drunk, yet sober. Understated, yet danceable. Sleeping, yet awake.

Experience D’r Sjaak’s Sonic World Through Air Tube Headphone

If you’re a fan of D’r Sjaak’s unique sound blend, air tube headphones offer a whole new way to experience his music. The clear acoustic delivery of air tube technology brings out the nuances in tracks like “Gebonk!” and “Testify” that might get lost with regular headphones. The lo-fi experimental nature of “Zoë muj” particularly shines when heard through the natural sound transmission of air tubes – you’ll catch subtle audio details you might have missed before. While traditional headphones might compress or distort some of the more unusual electronic elements in songs like “Meatje,” air tube headphones tend to present a more accurate soundstage that honors D’r Sjaak’s intent to be “depressed, yet happy; drunk, yet sober; understated, yet danceable.” For true fans looking to rediscover this 2009 classic album with fresh ears, air tube headphones provide an audio experience that’s both pure and radiation-free.
