HOMEMADE LOFI PSYCH --- WHERE TO START?





"There is so much great music here..." WHERE TO START???

I recommend to
start with the HLFP-Samplers (especially HLFP 04).
Here you will come to know many of the bands/musicians featured in this blog. If you like what you hear, you may check out more of their music later on.
(You may also click on the picture on the sidebar and you will find the original post with download links.)

There is also a "FOCUS ON..." section. Here you will find albums that imo are absolutely great (***** = "five-stars-recordings") and that are essential listening and strongly recommended for download.


I TRY to RE-UP some stuff that has been down from time to

time, but I still don't have enough time to

listen to/post much new stuff.

Sorry!

IMPRESSUM: see here!

Devita - Space Duty (Lithuania 2008)



The 3rd (and for now) the last post of DEVITA: Space Duty.
This is my favourite one of the three! Strongly recommended!

"space duty consists of intuitive piano takes and some old guitar tracks remixed. Also featured is the track called Interplanetary Vibes - the mixture of NASA's free-share segments of planetary transmissions translated into sound waves, mostly from Saturn, Jupiter and Sun.
Includes the video 'starseeds'." (L. D.)


Enjoy the flight!

Devita - Library Tapes: Sketches For The Synth Sound Festival on Mars (Lithuania 2001-2002/2007)

My second post of LUKA DEVITA's works:

Sketches For The Synth Sound Festival On Mars

"Some tracks and effects on Library Tapes were originally recorded for the Christmas puppet theatre performance in the Children's Literature Center, Vilnius. Though music was replaced by more friendly after some performances. The theatre stage wasn't an aim at all and much more compositions were recorded and eventually compiled for the possible interplanetary sound festival. All titles were performed exclusively on Polivox synthesiser - Soviet instrument, produced around 1985 in military factories. And around that time in the 80's being children in the yard we once used to play (a) strange game - (a) visit to Mars to the synthesiser sound festival, where various bands are on ships drifting in the endless Marsian sea, all playing and charming together."

Devita - Astralia (Lithuania 1998/2006)

This is the first part of a little series of albums I will upload (as usual with kind permission) by the Lithuanian experimental musician LUKAS DEVITA.


Enjoy the cosmic joys!

"LUKAS DEVITA is an underground musician and writer from Vilnius, Lithuania. He used to publish (...) articles on early psychedelic music in Lithuanian press and went on to be an active player and sound-searcher. Since 1989 Lukas Devita took the liberal course in music studies joining the eccentric group DINDA POLIMANTICA (one of the first Lithuanian bands to declare playing psychedelic rock).

With the bunch of original songs and covers Lukas started to perform solo and with accompanying musicians, but almost instantly he fell into the category of experimental music due to unusual songs, English language, and combination of acoustic songs with separate electronic or experimental instrumentals in his shows.

Lukas Devita attended some local cult festivals of avantgarde music playing his own material and jamming with the prominent musicians of experimental underground. As guitar player he was also invited to perform the piece for seven musicians, KARLHEINZ STOCKHAUSEN's Aus den 7 Tagen premier in Kaunas, in 1999.
Under the name DEVITA several instrumental albums were compiled and issued in hand-made manner. Last year Lukas Devita colaborated as one of the guests with the Norwegian post-rock psychedelic band SLEEPYARD." (info by L. D.)

ASTRALIA:
"(the) debut album by one-man group DEVITA combines acoustic and naive electronic experiments as well as unearthly moods with some strange folk music feeling. The first part offers the free impressions of someone visiting the astral world. Second part is inspired by the idea of (a) mysterious secret base in Antarctica. - Includes the short video 'a'mena'".
