BCCO Mix Series 230: Less Distress

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.

For our 30th Tunghør podcast we are presenting Tino (@1ino) <3

Tino is the alias of up-and-coming Danish techno producer Aske Bergstein Nielsen. Although he has only been around Copenhagen's booming techno scene for a few years, Tino has already had his music released on many different labels, including his magnum opus debut “Word Play EP” on Seaworld Records, and tracks on compilations from Artaphine, Binary Cells, Subsist Records, Gomboc Records and Another Name - the latter being the label associated with the infamous Copenhagen nightclub “Den Anden Side". 
Tino is currently on the roster for upcoming releases on the heavy hitting label, Leyla Records, where he will be making an appearance with his debut vinyl EP; "Cagematch.

Tino’s style of techno is a hyperactive multilayered percussion-palette of industrial scale, and most of his productions are set in BPMs far above 140. Tino has one foot planted in the old school rolling style of Birmingham tooly techno, and another foot in breakbeat and electro. 
Several of his tracks are driven by polyrhythmic beat structures that are as straightforwardly funky as they are mathematically complex and madly engineered.
