RUDRA VENA

BIOGRAPHYThe main obsessions of rudra vena are recording, putting on tape, every little sounds of his environment and, of course, digital synthesizers. rudra vena's primary intention is to translate human pulses into music: in early works, sounds were generated with digital synthesizers loaded and melted with human body sounds like heartbeat, breath... The result was a rising collage of pulsating noises constructed by biorhythms, which can be described as electronica, experimental music, industrial, ambient: every track is a candy surprise for ears. rudra vena also uses samples as natural sounds, found sounds, soundcollages, field recordings, ambient drones and sinewaves, pulses and glitchy sounds in order to create soundscapes with the subtle combination of softwares and concrete noises. His first full length album is a panorama of industrial techno works released on mexican label diskus fonografika mexicana. He also plays keyboards, old fashioned pads and ghostly melodies. His music is now industrial techno but also sound art/experimental music: not in the usual sense of abstract or avant-garde research, but as a naive and intuitive practice always taking its lead from the accidental act, full of surprises along the way.SOLO RELEASESRUDRA VENA -Blast Proof Head [Diskus Fonográphika Mexicana-2006]ref. fonogramma 3/ $11 - 999 copies order online: http://www.raidmusik.com http://www.crunchpod-distro.com http://discospropylaea.com First full length powernoise release by rudra vena on the mexican label diskus fonográphika mexicana, with mini-poster booklet. This release is the panorama of powernoise and harsh noise oriented works of rudra vena since 2001."The sound is nice and clear with some nice touches sounding like a combination of converter, scrape[DX] and synth-etik Blast Proof Head starts as standard powernoise in terms of sound and structure, hypnotic percusion hard industrial beats injected with build ups of static and obscure noise, a nice touch was to mix tracks so the listener is unaware that they are listening to the next track as sound and structure compliment each other well, this is where Blast Proof Head becomes interesting stepping boldly into more IDM territory with some more experimental noise influxes with the standard noise approcach catching up and blending with the experimental the album progresses into real harsh power noise sounding like a cross between Savak and Xenonics K-30 and from there on into harsh experimental noise/IDM fringing on breakbeat structure."http://www.clubimplant.co.uk Northern UKs only industrial/noise club"Where Rudra Vena excels compared to other techno-flavored rhythmic noise artists, is the more cold and mechanical, more distorted and scraping nature of the sounds used. In addition to danceable Converter, the style bears resemblance to some Mono No Aware output minus the vocals and samples. All the tracks on Blast Proof Head are very homogenous in sound and in practice ready for the industrial dance floors." http://www.radiumclub.net Helsinki’s industriel/rhythmic noise/power electronics club/FINLANDRUDRA VENA -All This Goes To Prove [Picomedia-2007]ref. pmact13Far away from his industrial and dancefloor oriented tendencies, rudra vena proposes an online release around found sounds, old mysterious precious beats collected between 2000 and 2001, and improvisations during journeys. An invitation to a surprising encounter.
