NUCULTURES- BUTTERFLIES, ZEBRAS, AND MOONBEAMS (1K)
Not only is it becoming increasingly hard to find an album that runs the gamut of several different musical styles, but all-encompassing double albums are even more of an anomaly in this day and age. But the Philadelphia collective Nucultures is not your average, ordinary band. On their 2007 two-disc set, Butterflies, Zebras, and Moonbeams, the group (which is comprised of lyricist Ellie Perez, guitarist/producer Tim Motzer, and bassist/songwriter Barry Meehan -- all of whom also contribute vocals) issues a true musical potpourri. With a largely laid-back feel throughout and a mixture of electronic and acoustic instruments (additional players lend a hand), many of the songs sung by Perez are equally jazzy and sultry -- and slightly Portishead-esque -- especially such standouts as the album opening "Night Is Beautiful" and "Behind the Moon." But even Nostradamus couldn't predict the group's next move, as they manage to touch upon electro-acoustic-folk ("Think I'm Losing It"), breezy meditations ("Mind Dunes"), and soundscapes ("Amorphous Lake") -- all the while managing not to lose the listener. If it's laid-back but unpredictable pop that is equal parts jazz and trip-hop that you're after, Nucultures' Butterflies, Zebras, and Moonbeams will most definitely not disappoint. -- ALL MUSIC GUIDE    Review by Greg Prato

it holds a top spot on my list of phenomenal down-tempo albums of the year.
...a truly sublime aural experience. Ross Solomon -- SLUG MAGAZINE

At times, Butterflies, Zebras and Moonbeams could stand as a testament to the budding mystique of a great Miles Davis masterwork such Kind of Blue. But it exists in a post-Portishead era, encapsulated in its own time and entity. There's that gorgeous block piano chord tinkle on the standout track, "Babylon is Crying (Tigris)." Like a good Davis cut, "Babylon is Crying (Tigris)" fills the room with its ubiquity, changing everything in the room with its seismic wake. -- NIKKI STYLE

Silky smooth but never sleepy, Nucultures have arrived to fill the gap left after Kruder and Dorfmeister failed to follow-up their landmark K & D Sessions. This is unabashed trip-hop, a descendent of Tricky, Morcheeba and, on the more bootilicious bangers, Deee-Lite. Where Nucultures expands on their ancestry is in the bedrock musicality and undeniable melodic grace of this ultra creamy double-disc offering, an endlessly shifting landscape spread over 21 tracks that never drags or falters. Nice. -- JAMBASE


It's a strong outing in the downtempo realm and boasts one of that subgenres more distinctive personalities of late. -- review by Kristofer Upjohn  -- RAVES.COM


At times evoking images of Portishead, Postal Service, and even Pink Floyd... Unlike other releases flirting with the trip-hop sound, however, "Butterflies, Zebras, and Moonbeams" transcends existing as sheer ambience, or a hot bedroom soundtrack. Songs like "Head," "Babylon is Crying," and "Think I'm Losing It" all prove the serious chops behind the songwriting talent. -- RIFFIN

tilomo - soft lunch (1k011) feb 28

"Tim Motzer has made some pretty noisy shit...Ursula Rucker and King Britt's Sister Gertrude Morgan CDâ€ not to mention contributions to David Sylvian's Nine Horses and Jaki Liebezeit's Secret Rhythms 2. Yet, on this new solo excursion, this Philadelphian finds solace in silence.

Tilomo, Tim Motzer's guitar/laptop solo project, benefits greatly from the sloe-gin-y liquid soul of his work with Brittâ€ you can hear it in the way his fuzzy jazz-foink chords ooze through the title track. But there's a sputter, beep, whoosh and clink to the proceedings that make it happily irksome and decidedly un-neo-soulful. The sawed, strained string samples of "Blue Samari," the thickly blown wind sounds that trace the development of "Embrace" from autumn chill to winter storm, the cheery tinkling of "Chi Moto"â€ there are eight million moody stories to be told in this ambient jungle.

a boatload of new releases featuring tim motzer:

burnt friedman + jaki liebezeit - secret rhythms vol. 2 (nonplace) feb 2006
the ex-CAN drummer jaki liebezeit and sonic scientist burnt friedman team up with a stellar cast of musicians featuring morton gronvad (vibes), tim motzer (guitars), hayden chisholm (reeds) and vocalist david sylvian. don't miss this record.

"Amazon Review:"Cologne-based artists Burnt Friedman (one half of Flanger) and Jaki Liebezeit (former Can percussionist) have a mutual fascination with ‘non-WesternÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã¢â€˛Â¢ rhythm structures. This second instalment of their Secret Rhythms project sees the duo continue their curious explorations of rhythmic time signatures beyond the ‘traditionalÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã¢â€˛Â¢ or at least ubiquitous (in Western culture) 4/4 format, addressing all kinds of styles and syncopations and flirting with world music and jazz along the way. The songs featured here are playful and naturally off-kilter, steering away from the wilful intellectualism of past Friedman/Liebzeit-related projects. Guitarist Tim Motzer, vibraharpist Morten Grønvad, bass-player Daniel Schroeter, singer David Sylvian and guitarist Joseph Suchy are drafted in to add texture, melody and harmony to the hypnotic structures, helping create an album thatÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã¢â€˛Â¢s both mystical and mellow – an ideal if idiosyncratic chill out option."

The follow up to 'Secret Rhythms', 'Secret Rhythms 2' eschews any fancy appellation adjustment in favour of reacquainting the protagonists Burnt Friedman (Scape) and Jaki Liebezeit for more percussion pressed goodness. Having earned his stripes as Can's drummer, Liebezeit is no stranger to the skins; coaxing a cavalcade of percussive elements into a cohesive whole that doesn't rely on its existence to keep things propelled forwards. Opening with 'Sikkerhed', Friedman and Liebezeit allow a fog of waterlogged atmospherics to slowly breach the almost tribal rhythms, acoustic guitar and lazy horns; leading to a sound highly reminiscent of Friedman's Nu Dub Players (even if it does share a melody with Girls Aloud's last single...), albeit stripped clear of the overt shrugging that characterised their output. Next up is 'The Sticks' (re-recorded here after it's 12  appearance in 2005) wherein cut+sliced acoustica is given a wash of sun-set soundscapes and gradually toughening percussion, before David Sylvain contributes a tobacco stained vocal on 'The Librarian'. Fermented further by the discrete funk-guitar of Tim Motzer, tracks like 'Niedrige Decken' and 'Caracolas' rattle along with a sense of jovial intent that never descends into frippery, whilst the micro-sound creases found on 'Broken Wind Repair Kit' and 'Mikrokasper' suggest Jan Jelinek with the window open. Your new best kept secret...

URSULA RUCKER - MA'AT MAMA (k7)
Philadelphia poetess Ursula Rucker is back with her third album. With “Ma´at Mama  (named after an ancient Egyptian kemetic principle, the foundation of universal order and balance), Ursula shows a new level of maturity in her writing. "Ma´at Mama  is pure poetry, sensuality and poignant social criticism, uniquely blending Hip Hop and Funk with sparse beats. Productions by Anthony Tidd, Tim Motzer, Rob Life and others. Released in the US Feb 07.





LATE NIGHT WITH KING BRITT (swanky)
a late night downbeat chill mix disc from our favorite dj featuring featuring Ellie Perez - La Vida, Plant Life, and an exclusive track written by King Britt + Tim Motzer ' Love is the Answer'...King's best mix effort yet.












NINE HORSES - SNOW BORNE SORROW (samadhisound)
the alignment of david sylvian, burnt friedman, + steve jansen with a world collective of brilliant musicians (including ryuichi sakamoto, arve hendriksen, stina nordenstam, hayden chisholm, tim motzer, keith lowe, thomas haas, theo travis, morton gronvad, daniel schroeter, tim elsenburg, joseph suchy, and so many others) present nine dark beautiful thought-provoking songs.



from tim motzer:
"about 4 years ago, i met burnt friedman, he of flanger and nonplace fame, at popkomm in cologne, germany. not long after my tour, i emailed him to suggest we do some music together. turns out, he liked the idea but was busy at the time and wanted to wait until there was a suitable project. on my next return to cologne a few years later, burnt came to our show, and suggested now was a good time and that jaki liebezeit would be involved. incredibly exciting stuff. burnt followed this a month or so later with about nine tracks as i recall that he sent me to create to. i loved the tracks and spent a few weeks in my studio working up multiple layered guitar parts for each track. the thinking was, that this would become the next friedman-jaki liebezeit record: secret rhythms 2. burnt and jaki loved the guitar tracks and i was very happy. shortly thereafter, things changed. burnt emailed me to tell me david sylvian had sung on 5 of the tracks. i've been a long time david sylvian fan, so this was incredible news. as time went on burnt mixed the record with sylvian's vocals, and sent a copy to each of us. as i understand it, david wasn't really happy with the mix, that it had lost some of it's fullness. so david asked to mix the record. burnt told me that he had sent him his hard drive with all our parts on there. amazing story. as it turned out, one of the tracks turned into 'the day the earth stole heaven' - a track that i had co-composed with burnt for the friedman-liebezeit record. it's a beautiful track, and to me takes you back to david's brilliant trees period. my guitars ended up on 3 other tracks 'a history of holes', 'serotonin', and 'the librarian' . the burnt friedman mix of 'the librarian' appeared on 'out in the sticks' a 12" teaser, and will also be on the forthcoming friedman/liebezeit album 'secret rhythms 2' due in january on nonplace. to me, nine horses is a brilliant album on so many levels and reflects both inwardly and outwardly our crazy times. i think it represents some of david's best work. consequently, what started out as a chance meeting with burnt turned into two records and a 12" and a roomful of new friends. it's a privilege to be a part of such wonderful creative works. just proof that good things still happen in this crazy world."

new release: KING BRITT PRESENTS SISTER GETRUDE MORGAN
(ropeadope)

SISTER GERTRUDE MORGAN (1900-1980) was a painter, singer and self-proclaimed "bride of Christ" whose visually explosive folk art is celebrated on the museum circuit world-wide. But her on album, made in New Orleans in the 1960's, is one of black gospel music's secret relics. Those recordings were unearthed and a limited number of copies were released to unanimous and widespread critical acclaim in 2003.
Ropeadope has procured the master rights and enlisted internationally acclaimed DJ and Producer King Britt along with guitarist/producer Tim Motzer to create an entirely new and ground breaking work, putting musical tracks behind the Sister's previously unaccompanied vocals.
The cycle of ten songs mixes gospel hymns with funk, soul, mississippi delta, and afrobeat melodies with Britt's deep percussive beats. The live ensemble will tour this unique project with a full multimedia performance featuring live video in late 2005.

Most Loving New Orleans Tributes
Before Katrina was a drizzle over the Atlantic, King Britt and Tim Motzer were paying tribute to long-departed Preservation Hall treasure Sister Gertrude Morgan, laying down groovy, dancey backing tracks behind her glorious a cappella preachings. It's an amazing, timeless CD. And after the storm, hip-hop heroes The Roots turned their long-planned Kimmel Center debut into a fundraiser/upbeat revival. Black Thought, ?uestlove and company plucked the TBC Brass Band out of the shelters and marched down the aisle with 'em to start the show. Unforgettable.

AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL AUSTRALIA
Defend WomenÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã¢â€˛Â¢s Right to Freedom from Violence


19 JULY 2005 The FREEDOM Festival is an annual national music festival that aims to raise funds and awareness of Amnesty International's work to promote and defend human rights programs worldwide.

This yearÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã¢â€˛Â¢s FREEDOM Festival is raising awareness for Amnesty InternationalÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã¢â€˛Â¢s global "Stop Violence Against Women" campaign. Specifically, this includes womenÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã¢â€˛Â¢s rights to freedom from violence, fear, discrimination and torture, as set out in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

These campaigns aim to draw attention to the obligations of governments and communities to stop violence against women in the broader pursuit of human rights. FREEDOMÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã¢â€˛Â¢s focus in 2005 is specifically targeted at domestic violence in Australia.

“Worldwide, 1 in 3 women experience some form of violence. Australian statistics further reveal that 1 in 3 Australian women who have had an intimate relationship experienced violence in the relationship.  Australian Bureau of Statistics, 1996

Driven by a vast network of volunteers, the FREEDOM Festival uses the simple message: "Use your FREEDOM!  to reach out to a large and diverse young audience. FREEDOM unites and empowers individuals to promote positive social and political change through artistic expression.

The FREEDOM Festival is a product of the finest grassroots Australian activism. SydneyÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã¢â€˛Â¢s FREEDOM dance parties in the ‘90s helped pioneer the dance-for-a-cause movement. In 2003 this inspirational foundation developed into the first national FREEDOM Festival in Melbourne, Sydney and Canberra. In 2004, Perth and Adelaide joined the party, and with Brisbane and Hobart signing up for 2005, the FREEDOM message will ring loud across seven cities.

FREEDOM 05 will be held over 20 days from 23 September to 9 October.

The Festival will be headlined by dynamic Philadelphia poetess URSULA RUCKER (!K7 Records) with guitarist TIM MOTZER and drummer
GINTUS JANUSONIS and Munich broken beat DJ Ben Mono (Compost Records) with local supports taking the stage in each city.

Out In The Sticks - Friedman & Liebezeit (featuring David Sylvian)
Posted on: Monday April 04, 2005


Since their first collaborative album "Secret Rhythms" came out on Nonplace in 2002, Friedman & Liebezeit have been playing live all over the world, improving cyclic grooves and creating new ones. Paradoxically, their rhythms are difficult to grasp but easy to listen to. The 3 exclusive tracks for this vinyl only mini LP casually manoeuvre round the jagged rocks of "four-four time".

Jaki Liebezeit´s signature drum-mantra is etched into the vinyl of the coolest moments of rock history, and the potency of his distinctive style is barely diminished since his legendary moments in the early 70s.

Burnt Friedman has again conspired with the upper echelons of the musically interesting, this time teaming up with David Sylvian.
During the process of remixing 2 of David Sylvian´s "Blemish" album tracks, both producers decided to start a new, ongoing project. Nonplace is proud to present their first collaborative piece, "The Librarian", featuring David Sylvian as vocalist.

In addition to Friedman and Liebezeit, guitarist Tim Motzer weaves funky touches all the way through. He has resided in Philadelphia, U.S. since 1985 and has been busy working with a virtual who's who of Philadelphia artists over the years including recordings and world tours with poetess Ursula Rucker, King Britt and the French duo Les Nubians.

Lined up for the group´s live appearances is Hayden Chisholm, a New Zealander who is living in Germany since a decade. He contributed all horn melodies to this mini LP. Other guest musicians are Morten Grønvad, vibraharp and Daniel Schroeter, electric bass guitar.

Tracklisting:

A1 - Out In The Sticks (11:00)
B1 - The Librarian (8:40)
B2 - 182/9 (3:45)

The Friedman & Liebezeit album on Nonplace is scheduled for 2006.

ROLLING STONE Gives Curtis Mayfield: Remixed Thumbs Up!
"The set's surprise knockout is King Britt's hallucinatory version of "Little Child Runnin' Wild." Shot through with dense, spiraling layers of slo-mo acid guitars and booming dub bass, the track now suggests twenty-first-century Jimi Hendrix as it re-imagines Mayfield's 1972 original through a junkie's blown mind. It's a killer. "
