THOUGHTS WORDS ACTION

RibaStuka is yet another experimental noise project operated by the individuals who surround Unsigned, a very prolific Hungarian experimental label specialized in avant-garde forms of expression such as ambient, drone, harsh noise, and musique concrete. The experimentations with audio have been done by the members of the bands called L * mbik, Fixateur Externe, and Royal Hungarian noisemakers: Xpldnglke, Man, Rovar17, Baksa Gaspar and Luca Maller. The only constant artist on each composition is Xabi N, who has written lyrics and provided vocals over these instrumentations, and VlaD who provide a concept and edited by all material. Despite the sheer amount of the artists, RibatStuka still cannot be perceived as a compilation album after considering that each artist gave a personal touch on several compositions. Therefore, RibaStuka can be best described as a collaborative material built up from audio scraps contributed by the vast amount of artists who surround the Unsigned collective. Simplistic compact disc wallet cover artwork hides a comprehensive collection built of a wide array of sonic clusters. These sonic clusters have been gathered into ten avant-garde compositions composed to accommodate a certain atmosphere. Then these compositions have been performed one after another to resemble storytelling but in the sort of minimalistic audio form. RibatStuka includes a load of monologues, dialogues, various narrations on Hungarian languages, which have been layered over eerie ambiance that give chills down the spine. Whatever was the intention of the RibaStuka collective, they certainly nailed to resemble a tremendous horror soundtrack with loads of weird ambient drones. However, these ambient drones are entirely minimal comparing to the portion od dialogue involved in almost every composition. The artists are building a much broader atmosphere as the recording passes by, but still, these building segments are shredded by minimalistic breaches. RibaStuka retains a minimalistic approach throughout the entire recording by gradually shaping up the brighter imagery through a full specter of obscure noises, experimentations with various elements of musique concrete, and loads of multidisciplinary sonic interruptions. Various monologues, dialogues, narrations, and occasional chants are holding on the dominant position throughout the entire record, therefore RibatStuka will suit mostly to the admirers of minimalistic electronic experimentations. The album has been housed in a cardboard compact disc wallet, and it has been published in an edition of 25 copies by Unsigned Records.

Vital Weekly

This new release is a bit more obscure. It starts with the cover; it says Riba Stuka, but on Bandcamp, it is called RibatStuka. And looking at the cover I could believe this is a compilation, with eleven individual titles but on the CDR it one long piece; maybe this is a mixtape of some kind? What ties these pieces together is the fact that almost all of the pieces use the voice of one Xabi N, but set to music by others, such as the Royal Hungarian Noisemakers, L*mbik, Rovar17, MaN, Xplnglke and others. It is all about the voice of Xabi N, darkly intoning his texts, in Hungarian, so it's a tad bit difficult to tell what these are about. Here too we have a similar approach to noise as we saw with the Royal Hungarian Noisemakers, but with a bit more variety; there is also some guitar abuse to be noted, but with all the music tucked away in the background it's less noise based. Since I have no clue what this is about and it is text-heavy, I can only see this as a work of sound poetry. For all I know I am wrong. I am sure it is all good, but I am afraid not my cup of tea.
