A conceptual piece, attempting to encompass the infinite struggle of a worshipper to reach the Divine.

The Journey Of A Worshipper

Lorenz Erdmann - Reenacting The Escape

The multi-channel composition ‘Mapping Amager’ is meant to be the result of a sonic exploration of the eastern island of the danish capital. Equipped with different field recording gear (binaural headphone microphones, hydrophones, contact microphones, different directional mics and handheld recorders) the composer tried to capture the unique site specific sonic landscapes – the ubiquitous water and the coast, the beaches, the baths nearby the sea, the different ports and marinas, the clash between nature and culture on this most prosperous part of Copanhagen. In the period of three days the composer made field recordings in every cardinal direction.  Digitally processed, modified and arranged these diverse sounds are diffused in an eight channel surround sound environment according to their provenience. Comparable to the surround sound system in domes of planetaries the loudspeakers are organized in a graticule. With this set-up the composer tries to re-map the sounds and create an acoustic space allowing the spectator to immerse into a sonic map of Amager defined by its varied sites: The airport in the east, the old port in the north, the green fields and parks in the west and the sailboat marinas in the south. In a second step the listener follows the subjective survey and travel of the composer who got to know the island primarily through sonic encounters guided by the unique sounds Amager is offering.

The galley’s chef is finally back with a new plate serving only the tastiest eggplants. This time the recipe is inspired by the eastern asian cuisine from China.
The Skweee-Mastermind MESAK is teaming up with chinese MC and singer CHACHA for ‘Collapsing’ – a sonic odyssey into a fainting world full of tumbling beats and spheres, seasoned with lyrics envisioning a decomposing planet.
The flipside offers ‘Lahota’, Mesak’s poetic, yet utterly rhythmic ode to ancient, britten wood – A ride trough the muddy, dark and enchanted scandinavian forests.
'Collapsing' has been remixed by beat-master Patric @Catani. 'Lahota' has been remixed by synth-lord @PorkFour

In this re-work, the romantic moment is suspended in time to create an ever-evolving sound mass, allowing the listener to contemplate both contrasting and complementary harmonies.

It is dedicated to all those who risks their lives on the painful journey for a better future.

step one: hydrophone recording(Jez riley French) in my favourite curling "waterfall" in Park Sonsbeek
step two: editing, stretching and cutting loops
step three: using vocoder with water loops as input to control synthesisers
step four: messing around with mapping and controls and recording

We're glad to announce the first album in our catalogue. Our 11th installment is another split release, this time with MINOR LABEL from Leipzig where it hits the street as No. 35.

This 12-inch vinyl is literally the sixth EGGPLANT release that features the live electronic music duo MEIER & ERDMANN - it's their first appearance on MINOR. Raised up and founded in Leipzig, their unique blend of acoustic and electronic sounds, recorded both in the studio and in the fields and then meticulously sequenced and brought to the stage in one of their iconic live shows proves their broad background in classical, jazz and various bass-heavy electronic dance music styles. 'HOWLER MONKEY' - the duo's first album - incorporates all these components and forms a sonic narrative oscillating between the organic and the algorithmic, the abstract and the concrete, the humorous and the melancholic.

'HOWLER MONKEY' will be released in January 2017.

Meier & Erdmann – 'Howler Monkey' – Prelisten

Today we have a 3.5 hour showcase by Roel Funcken, who has put together a Sampler Mix from a double-volume Australia Bushfire Compilation, which he has curated for Touched Music. This is a benefit release approaching 70+ tracks selected from the musicians around the world to raise funds “for the rescue, preservation and safe sanctuary of koalas and other vulnerable wildlife affected by the unprecedented catastrophic fires of the Australian Black Summer (September 2019 – February 2020) resulting in a massive loss of habitable forests.” Yes, during the current global [human] crisis it’s easy to forget about the disaster that has recently occurred on a remote continent, but it’s important to remember and support this endangered species in the time of need.

I hope you enjoy and support this endeavour by purchasing the compilation, as 100% of profits will be donated to Australians for Animals for Koala Habitat.

For a download, full tracklisting, and more details on the mix, please stop by headphonecommute.com and subscribe to our podcast! As always, please enjoy responsibly and support the featured artists!
