Rite of Passage

What are the differences and similarities between human and artificial sound, between oscillations generated by vocal cords and synthesizer voices, voltage amplified by speakers? On Silencio, his latest album for Tresor Records, Moritz von Oswald works with a 16-voice choir to explore this concept. 

Drawing from the ensemble works of long-standing inspirations Edgard Var&egrave;se, Gy&ouml;rgy Ligeti and Iannis Xenakis, von Oswald and Vocalconsort Berlin delve into the space between sounds, creating a deeply textured collection that shifts between light &amp; ethereal and dark &amp; dissonant. 

As masterfully demonstrated in the early work of von Oswald and Mark Ernestus' influential Basic Channel project, repetition and reduction are key elements here, much in the tradition of techno and minimalism. The vast dynamism of the human voice adds to the profound weight of electronics while offering up a rhythmic source and sonic noise palette unexplored in von Oswald's repertoire. In Silencio, von Oswald dredges a dank murk, pulling clouds over a distant pulse. It hangs, ready to take on new forms. 

The compositions were written in von Oswald's Berlin studio on classic synthesizers, such as the EMS VCS3 &amp; AKS, Prophet V, Oberheim 4-Voice and the Moog Model 15. These abstract recordings were transcribed to sheet music for choir by Berlin-based Finnish composer and pianist, Jarkko Riihim&auml;ki and performed by Vocalconsort Berlin in &Ouml;lberg church in the city's Kreuzberg district, only few metres down the road from where Dubplates &amp; Mastering and Hard Wax opened their doors for music enthusiasts for many years so long. 

The recordings of the choral versions were then incorporated into the synthesized parts of the album and brought into anew electronic context; in Silencio, the focus is not on using one means to imitate the other, but to sonically discuss the tensions and harmonies between the two worlds and create a dialogue between them. 

The relationship between von Oswald and Tresor Records goes back thirty years, all the way to Blake Baxter's Dream Sequence in 1991 - which von Oswald engineered alongside Thomas Fehlmann. The collaboration with Fehlmann lived on, seeing the duo team up as 3MB with Eddie Fowlkes or Juan Atkins. More recently, the Detroit-Berlin connection continued as Juan Atkins &amp; Moritz von Oswald present Borderland. 

For von Oswald, Tresor Records and also the participating guest musicians of the choir, this release brings together audiences from other musical areas, cross-pollinating; Silencio is an album that stands for itself beyond the musical genre boundaries.

Will You joins the roster of Philipp Priebe’s Stólar this February with his ‘Is It 2 Late?’ EP accompanied by remixes from Lb Honne and Orion. Producer, DJ and Oleeva Records label boss Will You has been slowly unveiling his take on contemporary deep house and dub-tinged techno over the past few years via solo material and remixes on his own imprint and most recently a remix of Philipp Priebe’s ‘Movements In An Empty Department Store’ on Stólar. Here we see Will You returning to the latter aforementioned imprint with his latest EP. Leading the release is ‘Santé’, a six and a half minute excursion through snaking sub bass tones, a crisp, shuffled rhythm section, dreamy synth chimes, squelchy 303 licks and spoken word vocal lines. Title-cut ‘Is It 2 Late’ follows next and deviates into more dubbed out territory via expansive, unfurling echoes, cinematic atmospherics and robust, intricate percussion. Opening the flip-side is Zurich’s Lb Honne’s interpretation of ‘Is It 2 Late’, the Project Indigo artist extracts the essence of the original and reshapes it into a subtly nuanced, loop-led and hypnotic workout. Italian duo Orion then conclude the package with their take on ‘Santé’, reshaping the original with their signature deep techno style, fuelled by grainy textural components and bumpy saturated drums.

When I created the five tracks in "Large Air", I envisioned music that could adapt to your mood—whether you’re letting it flow in the background or moving to its rhythms on the dancefloor. My goal has always been to infuse each piece with a sense of positivity, weaving uplifting pads, warm chords, and vibrant field recordings into every layer. I hope "Large Air" becomes more than just an EP for you—an immersive journey that lifts your spirit and resonates with your moments. Enjoy the experience! - Sebby Kowal

Solace Mix

Making his debut on Apollo Detroit native Simple (or Konstantin Papatheodoropoulos as he’s known to his friends) steps up with six of the warmest, soulful tracks we’ve heard in some time. 
Weaving a patchwork quilt of found sounds, pops, clicks and tape hiss and marrying these with the warm textures of distorted rhodes, pitched down vocals, resonant drones and bumpy percussion, Simple arrives at a sound based on what he himself calls ‘happy accidents’ - with a heavy emphasis on improvisation.

Text by Mick Chillage : Heres my first ambient mix, since the "Best Served Chilled" tapes of 94 & 95 and a rather lengthy four hours in total thanks to developments in technology & a substantial collection of ambient music. I decided to split them into two parts and offer the files at 320 kbps after getting some feedback on various forums on what is the perfect ambient mix.. I may upload the whole mix in one piece later..I feel this mix is more suited to personal listening rather than trying to chill people out at a social gathering, as it shifts from very dark minimal drones and deep environmental sounds to gentle classical pieces to pure space music & occasionally returning to earth with more emotional compositions. Fortunately due to the very long running time of the mix, I was able to included full length versions of most of the tracks while using a repeated theme at various intervals using multi-tracking additional looping & effects.
