    Fury
    Drones, hums and buzz'n'crackles, muffled rustlings and dissonant glitches, wonderfully acted in a vibrant music crescendo but also still ambiguous, harsh and unstable.

    Switches
    A collection of 14 beautiful sonic sculptures possessing glitch groove, microsound, IDM, electronic beats and acoustic ambience. We paint with sound.
    THE LABEL Audiobulb Records are based in UK but hold a global artist roster - brought together under the banner of 'exploratory electronic music'. The term exploratory invites artists to create without the restriction of having to stay within a specified territory. Our focus is quality, detail, intricacy and emotionality within electronic music. The sounds from our artists embrace glitch and groove, IDM, environmental ambience, microsounds and idiosyncratic dance beats. THE ALBUM 'Switches' includes tracks from 14 of our artists packaged together in one compilation album. Complex, beautiful and disturbing - each track acts as a unique switch bringing new elements of audio exploration to the listener's experience. Details of all 14 switches can be found over the page. The album comes complete with a four-page booklet containing the complex, beautiful and disturbing art of Curet A. (aka Disastrato). His dissected insects and imposed wiring typify Audiobulb's style as a place where natural and artificial worlds merge to form a creative hybrid. EXPLORATORY ELECTRONIC EXPOSURE We are a relative new comer competing with many established and start-up labels. At Audiobulb we are convinced we have the quality to build on our reputation and commercial viability. With more compilation releases planned as well individual releases from He Can Jog, Diagram of Suburban Chaos and Build we will be one to watch. www.audiobulb.com Switches - Track Information 1. RODOLPHE KUFFER: Content Dissects his audio - breaking down elements and building them up into a glitch groove - the track dissolves at its end point into a beautiful human voice. 2. HE CAN JOG: June - that is when the smaller sparrow began to cantilate A beautiful ambient introduction sails into the sky with micro percussion - suddenly an explosion of delicately drilled up drums take the track on a powered flight. 3. MARION: Singalong tammy Plucked Elizabethan strings and glitched beats are perfectly executed within this pretty electro-acoustic number 4. CLAUDIA: We lost him, but kept going A sense of brain damage and disconnectedness are woven amongst melodies reminiscent of the Boards of Canada 5. DISASTRATO: C(ch)oaipba, koa, c(ch) (s+am) Tiny switches and dials are turned with percussive guile in this microsound masterpiece. Disastrato introduces accidental monsters - an autistic child cries and blows his nose into an audio soundscape that reverberates into infinity. 6. OTI: Large open spaces An ambient midpoint with sounds of a summer environment woven into gentle melodies whilst children play. 7. BLLIX: Document.write Beautifully programmed IDM executed via Bllix's female intuition - skittery rhythms play around the stereo spectrum as the melody unwinds, wrapping itself around the listener. 8. DIAGRAM OF SUBURBAN CHAOS: Wishing a disease With an acclaimed album (status negatives on imputer records) already behind him William Snavely illustrates his poignant skills through reforming idiosyncratic rhythms placed behind a delicate time shifting melody. 9. HENRY LEO DUCLOS: Ever since Painstaking composition devised from glitched-up audio events manipulated and arranged on an old PC. 10. AUTISTICI: Breath holding on to a window Ambience and percussive microsounds combine to deliver an extremely atmospheric account with a strong visual identity. 11. BUILD: A development with a grid of streets and a shopping centre heart Extremely delicate and detailed rhythmic programming shimmer across this track beneath an enchanting stripped back melody. 12. PRHIZZM: Half asleep Crunchy beats and detuned arpeggios surge across this track. The tempo decreases to expose the inner working of the composition before again awaking into motion. 13. ROOM: Your open face Appealing chord structures and melodies are presented in this track that develops via a glitchy beat and bass groove. 14. EFFACER: Fire at sea An ambient end piece with tilting tones and an accomplished exploration of Asian percussive elements. + Hidden track (Autistici: 14 hidden switches on an invisible wall)
