We are back with some new field recordings!

Daniel Kordík’s “Poznova” is a new 6-track album on our FIELDS edition. Poznova is based on field recordings from various countries such as Vietnam, Sri Lanka, Laos, and Morocco and it focuses on sounds of different times of a single day—starting with morning sounds and finishing with the sounds of the approaching night time. The title Poznova is an interplay between the words ‘Po’ (after) and ‘Znova’ (again). It’s about rebirth, repetition, and imperfection.

Friday fundraiser

But that is not all! We are moved by the current struggles of minorities in the US, which very much remind us of our local problems. Slovakia (where LOM is based) is one of the most racist countries in Europe, with a particular focus on Romani people–communities that are neglected by the state, living in dire conditions, and facing police brutality. In a spirit of “think globally, act locally” we are doing a joined fundraiser for the two causes.

Our today’s profit share from the new album will be donated to Way out, NGO helping members (especially children) of Romani communities trapped in generational poverty in Slovakia.

Bandcamp is donating their part of today’s profits towards NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, top legal firm fighting for racial justice in the US.

We also joined our efforts with NGO Tradana. Their latest release by the “Pokošovci band” presents the essence and unique interconnections of the Slovak and Romani traditional music of the Horehronie region and comes with an educative English-friendly booklet!

Buying their double-CD today will fund the same organisations as our latest release, so we decided to cross-promote our work – we believe some of you may enjoy it! 🙂

The long-awaited Elektrosluch is back for pre-orders.
And it has few new interesting siblings!

Elektrosluch 3+ is the most sensitive Elektrosluch yet. By using state of the art operational amplifier, we have managed to significantly improve signal to noise ratio and extend the frequency response (both on low and high frequencies). This will allow you to capture even more delicate electromagnetic sounds with greater detail and definition. Its cover is now made from more robust & frosty plastics for better protection.

Elektrosluch Mini is the one for the DIYers out there. It comes in a form of a kit, including all the parts, battery and plastic cover for protection. It is the ideal choice for people on the budget who like to solder their own instruments.
Note: It comes in limited batch of 40 units.

Elektrouši is a pair of passive electromagnetic sensors. You can plug them to your Elektrosluch 2, Elektrosluch 3 or Elektrosluch 3+ for extended range of sensing or use them with portable recorders as electromagnetic microphones.

Elektrosluch Priezor is a new device we’re working on, but not selling just yet. It is extremely sensitive and capable of capturing faint atmospheric events in VLF radio bands. Compared to regular Elektrosluch, it is less directional and focused, and therefore more useful in recording ambient electromagnetics, where the overall sound of the place is desired.
