Here we are back again  -  expect a deeper look at Kiev Stingl, enfant terrible of the German underground and way ahead of its time.
Niklas David (Klangbad part of Audiac) has done a new interpretation based on audio tracks from an unreleased production by Achim Reichel from 1982, with unreleased songs by the eccentric. Immersing yourself in Stingl's world is worth it!

Also, to discover: Kristof Schreuf (Kolossal Jugend und Brüllen), co-founder and mastermind of the Hamburger Schule. His only solo album »Bourgeois with Guitar« from 2010 represented an almost intimate exploration of pop and rock history, in which Schreuf appropriated classics from AC/DC to Donna Summer, enriched them with other pop quotes and added other and original melodies and guitar motifs. On the other hand, his long-awaited debut novel »Anfänger im Rocken« has remained unfinished. Kristof Schreuf died on November 9th at the age of 59, his voice is already missing.
Plus: Fred and Luna, The Lautreamonts, Luke Haines & Peter Buck and many more - in the mix - without slobbering! Listen with care! q:

Tea-Snuggery Show #42

Tea-Snuggery Show #42w_Threeemoji (Threads Landau)-13-Dec-22

This is a synthesized sound file used as material for the piece "Riding the Groove". This is stereo reduction of an octophonic sound file.

Riding the Groove (sound material for tape part)

This is a live recording (through camcorder microphones, hence the very low quality) of the premiere of the piece "Riding the Groove" at Usine C, Montreal, April 4, 2012.

Riding the Groove (2012), for Digital Drumset, Video and Live Electronics

This is a recording using binaural microphones within an upright Disklavier at IRCAM, Paris, in spring 2013. 

From the original Edition:

Marlon Schumacher’s piece deconstructed Koch’s raw audio material using signal analysis techniques and re-synthesized it to six miniature pieces (fragments) via a technique recombining sounds of piano mechanics and cleaning movements previously stored in a database. Serving as the “tape part”, Schumacher’s algorithmic re-compositions are guiding the live performance: The memory card included in this edition contains a six-part video file instructing two performers of either a house piano or two grand pianos via an animated cursor to complement the layers of synthesized piano noises with pure piano tones. Consequently, Schumacher translated the cleaning process into the virtual domain of digital signal processing - thereby separating it from the sensitive touch of the keyboard instrument to create a music with it its own, rebellious urgency. 

Marlon Schumacher is a composer of electroacoustic music and doctoral researcher in the fields of computer-aided composition and sound synthesis. He works as lecturer at McGill University in Montreal, Canada and is a research assistant at the Centre for Interdisciplinary Research in Music Media and Technology.

Deutsch:
Marlon Schumacher hat Kochs Ausgangsmaterial mithilfe digitaler Analyseverfahren dekonstruiert und aus einer speziell angelegten Klangdatenbank mit Geräuschen von Klaviermechanik und Putzbewegungen neu zu sechs Fragmenten synthetisiert. Als “Zuspiel” bilden Schumachers algorithmische Re-kompositionen nun die Leitspur zur Live-Aufführung: Die in der Edition inbegriffene Speicherkarte enthält ein sechsteiliges Videofile, nach welchem Interpretinnen am Hausklavier oder an 2 Flügeln, von einer Cursorbewegung geleitet, zur zugespielten Geräuschebene die Klaviernotation umsetzen. Konsequent verlegt Schumacher so den Putzvorgang in die virtuelle Realität digitaler Signalverarbeitung und trennt ihn vom empfindsamen Anschlag der Tastentöne, um ihm eine eigene, aufrührerische Dringlichkeit einzuräumen.

Marlon Schumacher ist elektroakustischer Komponist und Forscher im Bereich computergestützter Komposition und Klangsynthese. Er arbeitet als Dozent an der McGill University in Montreal, Kanada, und ist wissenschaftlicher Mitarbeiter am Centre for Interdisciplinary Research in Music Media and Technology.

Tea-Snuggery proudly presents a personal mixtape by Niklas David.

Niklas David, born 1974, recorded two critically acclaimed albums as keyboardist with his band Audiac under the production of Hans-Joachim Irmler, founding member of Faust, the legendary experimental “Krautrock” outfit of the early to mid-1970s. After producing an EP for German underground legend and enfant terrible Kiev Stingl, which saw release on Klangbad in 2022, he is currently working on Stingl’s last full album.

You can expect a delightfully obscure song selection from weird to classic, potential pitfalls included! A rollercoaster ride that unfortunately ends far too quickly! Get in, buckle up and enjoy! Listen with care! q:

Filter Tapes 027: Kristoffer Cornils

Audiac’s 2003 debut, Thank You For Not Discussing The Outside World (Klangbad), was produced by Hans-Joachim Irmler of Faust and continues to maintain a top-20 ranking on rateyourmusic.com’s trip-hop chart between Portishead and Massive Attack. The sound occasionally recalls the radio-ready freeze-dried chansons of Bowie or Björk, but its emotional nudity anchors it firmly in the tradition of performance art. With hooks, of course – Alexander Wiemer and Niklas David may be slaves to the self-assigned task of designing a musical universe from the inside out, but they have no intention of inhabiting it alone.

The new album – due out in September 2017 – takes the duo even farther into the realm of musical abstraction. David weaves keyboards, samples and synthesizer into landscapes of shimmering harmony, then deconstructs them with powerful gestures of dissonance. Wiemer’s dynamic, jazz-inflected vocal stylings skate across frozen lagoons of polyphony or draw on the power of interjected rhythms. Ringer Anja Füsti provides commentary in the language of classically trained percussion. The only constant is drama.

“Beats are all about getting into a zone and staying there,” David explains. “To me, melody and harmony are the interesting part.” Increasingly, he says, Audiac takes its inspiration from Romantic and classical music. But there is nothing classical about their sound. Audiac has made a clear commitment to keeping art rock firmly straddled on the cutting edge of technology. As Greg Lake so eloquently put it, “You can change the world, but if you lose control, they will take away your T-shirt.”

Audiac’s live shows are legendary. As a performer, Wiemer melts women’s hearts and makes men’s balls cramp to the size of hazelnuts, a boon to bartenders everywhere. Only the necessity of staring fixedly at a bewildering array of sound generators saves David from sharing the audience’s fate: As his wife can attest, his T-shirt never leaves his body. The last time I saw Wiemer, I think he was wearing a stiff, transparent vinyl blouson over his erect nipples. But I can’t really say because I went blind that night. That is, if you get a chance to see where Audiac’s music comes from, don’t miss it. Headphones only tell half the story.
