Mesh Series 016: Kinn

A curated series where we commission artists to make an hour long mix of whatever inspires them to experiment, produce, and what they listen to.

The mix extracts highlights from Kinn's debut album, Anamnesis Landscape, and expands on his favoured themes and aesthetics of the macabre, presented at times with a tongue in cheek “Dread turned up all the way to 11” fashion.

Using extracts of dialogue, these fragmented conversations evoke a subjective narrative, each monologue lingers in the imagination of the listener as they are juxtaposed or mirrored by the brooding drones and fleeting moments of respite. Thanks again to Kinn for contributing to this months series. 

Words about artwork
"Jack Aldridge (who took the photo) is one of my oldest friends, someone I haven’t seen in person in a very long time due to the pandemic. For this reason I asked him to work with me on “something” around the same time this mix for Mesh came about Whilst I was putting the final touches to the mix I asked him to send over a few photos, without any context, I was just interested to catch up with what he was working on, out of the few dozen photos he sent I became transfixed on this image, the content has no immediate grand concept and yet it’s ambiguity had possessed me. Listening through the finished mix now, the sound and the image have become one, the narrative they evoke together
is expansive and personable, I would hope this is an expectation of listeners of my chin-stroke-type-beat music anyway, to sit and stare into space and let their mind wander, perhaps to places they wouldn’t normally be comfortable to explore" - Kinn

Kinn's Anamnesis Landscape is out now on black as night 12” Vinyl and Digital with First Light Records.

Mesh Series 016: Kinn

Deboleena closed off our birthday with a lovely, 50 minutes long mix based on the theme of Nostalgia.

"Nostalgia is an act of selective memory- of reaching back through the past and carefully preserving moments in time. In this creative reconstruction, memory becomes fantasy. From the deep lows to the soaring highs, this mix explores the full range of emotions that nostalgia conjures. From serene Ethiopian jazz and soft rock, to haunting folk and darkly resonant electronic and ambient. It’s one part longing, two parts fondness. "

Catching Up in the Archive is a major exhibition by artist Mariana Lanari showcasing the evolving infrastructure of de Appel Archive. Displaying more than 16 000 objects in de Appel’s Aula and launching an interactive online environment, Catching Up in the Archive stages unprecedented activations, public gatherings, ear-opening encounters, and ‘moving’ situations with special guests and curious passers-by.

As a first intervention Loma Doom was asked to research the audio-archive. Performed on April 10th 2022 for a live audience, the result is uploaded here: a fragmented collage of the work and lectures of female artists that have collaborated with De Appel throughout its history. 

Catching Up In The Audio Archive features work by Barbara Kruger, Cosima von Bremen, Moniek Toebosch, Ann Bean and the Box Gamelan Ensemble, Gina Pane and Marina Abramovic.

Catching Up in the Archive will run until May 29 and is open to the public. For more info visit: new.deappel.nl

Catching Up In The Audio Archive at De Appel (Part 1)

LER 1028: Picture Music – Picture Music

Concocted in a share house in the South of Brisbane in the mid-80s, a small collective of well-acquainted musicians including Jon Anderson, Rainer Guth, Gary McFeat & Rod Owen gathered to compose film soundtracks, music for pictures, therefore ‘Picture Music’. To this end, a ‘spec’ tape of Picture Music recordings would be produced to give to potential clients and or sold to local stores. A distinct album comprising a collection of ambient, minimal-jazz and experimental music.

If there is a red thread running through the Picture Music album, it is its "late night" ambience. The wrath of the sub-tropical summer heat of Brisbane is not kind on electronic equipment, which would crash regularly by day. So, all recording was done in the relative cool of the late evening, in a room only dimly lit by lamp and candle. The Picture Music collective would make music and party all through the night, departing around sunrise. They would sleep through the heat of the day, only to return in the evening for more of the same.

This 2021 double LP reissue of their self-titled 1987 cassette, was taken from the original master tapes and remains an evocative representation of the music that resulted from the late-night, dimly-lit, atmospheric-enabled environment, that sparked the creativity of a group of like-minded friends in a tiny corner of Brisbane.

Dedicated to the memory of Rainer Guth (1955-2016)

Kompakt Winter Ambient - Max Würden

Super thrilled to present a new mixtape from Tokyo based artist Masahiro Takahashi. All the tracks featured in this beautiful mix are his own, including eight brand new tracks which were made especially for this project. The tracks glide together as glistening chimes combine with hallucinogenic drones, souring strings and strange otherworldly recordings, all knitted together with the nostalgic sounds of Masahiro's elegant guitar playing.

Métron Mixtape - 057 - Masahiro Takahashi

@Ami-Dang is a South Asian-American vocalist, sitarist and producer living in Baltimore. Her work fuses ambient, trance and electronic music with instruments from her native India. For her new album, Parted Plains -- a stunning instrumental sitar record -- Ami took inspiration from both South Asian and Middle Eastern folktales and the Western interpretations of them; resulting in not a culture clash, but a beautiful project that sits somewhere in between. Fully impressed, we asked her to make us a mix.
 
“I put together a combination of ambient, experimental and noisy electro tracks from artists from Baltimore, India, and a couple from artists (from elsewhere) working with electronics and South Asian instruments and sounds, like sitar and harmonium,” she says of the mix. “It kicks off with some poetry from Ellen Klowden over a serene jam: the recording of her voice is the exact one she sent to me via an Instagram message after she did some energy work, like Reiki, on me in the Owen Rose Garden after sunset on the Willamette River in Eugene, Oregon. Her poem “Aura Dancing" is the perfect way to enter the zone of this mix.”

Track list:
4lienetic, "Oceans" x Ellen Klowden, "Aura Dancing"
