"Rain" is a Digitakt Jam that makes extensive use of the devices FX, modulated by LFOs that keep the track automatically in movement.

I'm getting used to my new "Hybrid" setup and I started working on an entire  set to perform for the upcoming "Sonic Playground" gig on Copenhagen. At first I was super scared of the complexity! There was so much to do and I'm finally  super proud that I managed to develop a template to shrink each song down to a max of 8 audio tracks and get Ableton ready to do what I want. I still need to work on automation and modulation with the controller, but that's next. 

This is a first full track that's in this set. Each track has the same structure and this one is no exception; there are 4 Midi tracks to trig the 4 Perfourmer strips, 1 Software Instrument (here: Dub Stabs) , 1 Audio track for the merged backing loops and 2 Audio tracks for the Vermona outputs.

In this weeks jam I wanted to continue to work on the combination of the Perfourmer and the Ableton environment. The track is titled 'Mosquito' because it intros with LFO grains and a tape modulation that reminded me of a mosquito or a fly. 

The track marks also the end of development for my upcoming liveset in Copenhagen, Denmark. I have a enough new material and my next task is to merge and rehearse what I have. 

Honestly, I've no clue how to sort this music into a genre. Is it dub techno? Or melodic house? Ambient techno? Maybe you can tell me.

On November 26, I performed at "Sonic Playground", the first event of our label "Petite Victory Collective". It took place at Urban 13 in Copenhagen.

This event was special in more ways than one to me. For one thing, it was the first time ever that I was allowed to play in front of a larger audience abroad. What a feeling to see the crowd dancing to my sounds - a true magical moment. The atmosphere was great and I received great feedback after the performance. 

I celebrate this momentum I decided to release the performance! It’s now available for pre-order on Bandcamp: "Live In Copenhagen" features 6 tracks plus the entire performance mixed together. They represent in a way the return to my former „Dawless“ sound, which I had to adopt for re-creation with my new DAW setup.

Some tracks are coming from my favorite genre, Dubhouse. I love to play endlessly around with chords and atmospheres using reverb and delay. I added a lot of textures to these tracks, which is my second favorite musical thing to do. But there are also rather untypical dance sounds like on "Heavy Traffic".

Tracklist:
00:00 Rain
05:58 The Big Grey Fairy
11:47 Heavy Traffic
19:10 Mosquito
25:18 Pink Furry Monster
32:56 Stars

I'm releasing all tracks as a little EP on Bandcamp and on my website. The releases include separated tracks and the full mixed performance as a bonus. Get it here: https://59perlen.bandcamp.com/album/live-in-copenhagen

I couldn't be more excited to finally present my new single to you after a long release free period! "Swim To You (59 Perlen Dub Re-Work Edit)" is, as the name might tell you, a completely new interpretation of a rather quiet track I released last year. 

"Swim To You" was in its absolute original version a piece I composed for a Contemporary Art Installation titled "Shopping Bag". I so loved the synths (Vermona Perfourmer) that I made a track for release of it in Autumn 2022. From this original version only fragments left in the Dub Re-Work. I really hope you like the track as much as I do.

"Swim To You (59 Perlen Dub Re-Work)" is the first track taken from 59 Perlen's brand new full length album releasing in January 2024 on Shady Ridge Records.

59 Perlen announces new deephouse single 'Siren', a collaboration with Dutch artist 'Ingeborg'.

'Siren' transcends traditional electronic music, deephouse and dubtechno, carrying a profound message of love and compassion in a rather tumultuous world that we're currently living in. Ingeborg's creative interpretation played a prominent role in bringing this powerful song to life.

I have the pleasure to present the Miles Kvndra Remix of ´Transfiguration´. Miles did an outstanding Job on the remix and I am super proud to have him on the upcoming remix album 'Forget About The Remix', scheduled to release on May 3rd 2024.

'Transfiguration' is a track that I originally performed on the Soma Lyra-8. I couldn't imagine any remix of it but Miles did a wonderful combination of both mine and his worlds on it.

My good mate and producer Keef Luv cooked a mesmerising Remix of ‚Horizon‘ for us and titled it ‚Keef Luv’s Gone Off Into The Distance Remix‘ - I was always a huge fan of long remix titles, I often thought of it as a little piece of art on its own :D

This is 59 Perlen’s new single „Sirocco“, a both energetic and hypnotic dance track. It features elements coming from his favorite culture, the middle eastern. A violin player gives a soft and warm contrast to the overall very deep and dark feeling of this forth driving track.

"Sirocco" will drop on 15, November 2019 on all major streaming platforms, followed by the YouTube Premiere of an accompanying music video one week later. The track is also the first single of 59 Perlen's EP "Five" due for release in January 2020.

I recently started to give my Digitakt Jams titles. "Reject My Mind" got pretty atmospheric with a sweet experimental infusion. 

So yes this track is a Digitakt performance. The background texture of the extra long intro (I love long buildups!) uses the Digitakts trigg repeat feature at a speed of 1/64, prohabiltiy of 50% and combined with different Loopback LFO modulations on the delay and reverb channels.

I hope you like it, let me know what you think in the comments guys :)

Reject My Mind +++ Tension

Reject My Mind

“Garagen EP” is a collaborative, electronic adventure & instrumental live set from two solo artists who had to kick each other awake and hold on to a project they cherished and worked hard on.

"Garagen" is made of four tracks, simply titled "I, II, III & IV". Each of these tracks reflects our very own ideas, but they share the same spirit and passion for making music away from the computer. Performed live and sometimes imperfect. That's the dawless idea.

I (with Atlas Castle)

59 Perlen is the solo music project from Matthias Rosenkranz. He was born in Gemany and lives nowadays in Zurich, Switzerland. Producing electronic music since 20 years, he started to create computerless tracks in 2020 and released "Dawless", a minimalistic album entirely performed on music hardware, and he scored a number of ambient tracks for contemporary art projects. 

"When Left Alone" is a continued journey of this process. As the album opens with "A Hot Kinda Musician" you get a haunting feeling come over you. There are multiple moments similar to this on the album. 

Then all of a sudden the minimal dub beats bring you out of that zone and give the listener an almost different direction to follow. A perfect example is the closing track "Worthwhile". It gets a bit more upbeat but still has that dark feeling. 

The sounds and textures throughout the album are very pleasing to the ears. You will find yourself discovering more hidden sounds every time you hear it. Sit back and chill with the headphones on while enjoying this album.
