Glasswort is and acts as a medium. A means of transmission, a channel, a liminal state, a container, an environment. A sympathetic vessel, a palette, a mirror - it centers itself in giving and receiving. In this it is both lost and found. Here it finds purpose, but not meaning. It transcribes and is transcribed in the process. As a lens, it brings those around it into focus yet cannot see itself. The soda ash from incinerated glasswort is used to make glass, valued for its crystal clear color. Sympathetic to the season, their stems take on rich purples, reds and pinks moving into leaf season - dappling the marshes like mome raths. You may also know it as swampfire, sea bean, samphire or pickleweed.

Latin: Salicornia depressa, roughly meaning depressed salt horn/branch 

Properties: A member of the goosefoot clade, Glasswort is equal parts vegetable, herb and spice. Much like oysters, kelp and other aquacultures - seabeans are a purifying force both within and without. As a halophytic plant (salt-tolerant) that can thrive in saline wastewater, it has the dual value of being a nutritious, commercially-valued vegetables and also treating wastewater from commercial fishing or shrimp operations. Glasswort is a vitamin and ionic mineral powerhouse; it is rich in calcium, iron, iodine, magnesium, copper, potassium, fiber and Vitamins, A, B, C + D. It is also very high in protein for a vegetable. You can find this small, bush-like succulent in the middle + lower levels of salt marshes in May-August in New England. Virginia Glasswort is widely distributed, from the coasts of FL to PEI in the Atlantic and from CA to BC in the Pacific. It is lovely raw, pickled, as a seasoning or cooked as a vegetable. 

Companions: Glasswort seeds are a vital food source for passerine birds and geese. It also provides a safe-haven for insects and snails, such as the marsh periwinkle and western pygmy blue, during high tides.The endangered salt marsh harvest mouse relies exclusively on Glasswort for its habitat and primary food source. They eat pickleweed and climb on top if its sturdy leaves to forage more efficiently.

Ludwig Wandinger - Pferdestärken

Hy, I'm Beatdenker, a guitar player, composer, producer, (rhythm) researcher, tutor, thinker, (festival) organizer, postcontemporary, subcultural creator, feminist, real-utopist, motivator, anti-racist ally, traveler, passionated laugher, part of SUBWATER BEATS collective and privileged inhabitant of planet earth.

I believe in pluralism, doing things together, experiments, multiperspectivity, celebrating and appreciating life, connecting collectives, exchange and random stuff.

Live I played e.g. at:
Fusion Festival Lärz, Red Light Radio Amsterdam, What is Music Festival Burgos, Jazzfestival Freiburg, KIM Festival Berlin, SeaNaps Festival Leipzig, SURfF Festival Berlin, Rudolstadt Festival, Jazzkollektiv Nights Berlin, Bandstand Festival Hellerau, BRN Festival Dresden, SampleMusicFestival Berlin

About the music:
After my debut album "Too Tall To Dance" I'm still pushing two things. First is making the most complexistic rhythms sounding as bouncy as possible. I developed a lot of my rhythmic influences (Ferneyhough, BJ Manjunath, Miles Okazaki, Eric Schäfer) further into my own rhythmic systems, where I'm now able to imagine and concetely play more complex rhythms like triple nested tuplets in a polyrhythm like 31 over 17, means I play another 5 over e.g. certain 7 hits out of the 31 and then I play another 5 over certain e.g. 3 hits of the 5, haha. The idea is to change speeds very quickly, but with a completely awareness of what I'm doing. But still I'm mixing this approach with a more open Jazz influenced kind of improvising.
Second is to mix that knowledge with dance music, to create Future Dance Steps, means checking out how people need to move differently within my live sets. It's the coolest pleasure if people come after a concert and tell me that they moved their bodies in a way they never did before. Bäm, haha.
And a last thing, my three slogans: ethic endless fun, imagination unlimited, demanding power from below, means: have as much fun as possible without hurting someone else (especially marginalized people), imagine the most way-out things within your work or passion, push your creativity as much as possible to reach something new and join at least one political, social, plural economic, future-orientated movement and fight for a better "world".
Have fun listening. Peace out!

@WotNotmusic

Glenn Astro currently resides in Essen and has spent half his life producing and DJ'ing. He started out with Hip-Hop and later got into ultra soulful House music.

Glenn returns with another gang of grooves. His warm, soul-infused "Hologram" EP is  is forthcoming on WotNot Music and is set to be released on vinyl March 23rd and digitally early April.

None other than Henry Wu (22a) was called in for help to remix "Love Is Gone", which he does with a delightful, jazz-instilled flip. Since we have been following both closely for a while, we are stoked to exclusively premiere this particular track of the Hologram EP.

It goes without saying that you need to pick up this release if you love that love warm, jazzy, soulful sound. Check out this super limited pre-order (only 20 vinyl copies) and leave a nice comment or REPOST if you dig what you hear.

Jo Wespel / Joachim Wespel doing stuff
„We are stunned, hallucinated, crazy with musical sickness, immersed in these incredible beats that the artist has created, it's all so avant-garde and beautiful, everything so spatial, a wonderful revelation of musical experience, we love it and can't wait to see him in Brazil one day and feel this impressive music live.

An electronic transcendental journey and impressive work of art, it is a rocket straight into space and so different from anything we have ever heard

Not to spoil your surprise about this album, we can only say that we will never be the same after listening to the 13 impressive works of art that Beatdenker delivers, the album causes sensations in our body and mind that are indescribable, it is not just an album, it is an experience that everyone needs to have.“ - Indieoclock / Brazil

 

„When it comes to his recorded music, he stretches the boundary just as far. Inventive and intriguing, his music fuses elements of beats and rhythms with Future Dance, Jazz and New World influences culminating in a sound crafted from extraordinary imagination. he offers a sound from the meta IDM world.

Taking twists and turns at every step, the album lays down a vast exploration of experimental music with constantly evolving stuttered rhythms throughout. An incredible album! Such a mesmerising piece of art!“ - Plasticmag / London
