Oscillating universe (Brokntoys BT17)

Mastered by Brendan Zacharias at Cirrus Audio

Heinrich Dressel - Leid und VCO

Artist: Smagghe & Cross 
Title: 1819
Label: Offen Music 
Release date: 27.01.2020 
Format: 12“ LP

This second Lp on Offen is an ajar window overlooking the phantasmagoric world of Smagghe & Cross, a remembrance of days that never were. The music is sparse, the past is forever : ghosts of industries are conjured through the English countryside, fading memories play static with an idea of romance, the sun breaks through the iron clouds. A record free of uncouth nostalgia but laced with ethereal melancholia.

Avsluta & Oliver Torr - Vandr

Schleswig-Holstein is a thin land bridge between the mighty hull of the North German lowlands and the long pointed head of the Jutland peninsula, with the gentle Baltic Sea on one side, and the rough North Sea on the other. Numerous lakes, deciduous forests and wide corridors have shaped this region since its formation during the last ice age. The varied landscape, covered with fertile clay and littered with countless large and small granite blocks, is the legacy of the glaciers.

Fascinated by the cultural and geographical history of his homeland, Phil Struck recorded sonic impressions after hikes, wanderings, daydreams, historical readings and childhood memories. Schleswig-Holstein Aufnahmen is the distillation of these diaristic recordings, made between 2017 and 2019, using a sampler, synthesizer, and worn flea market records. Much like the cyclical musings of W.G. Sebald, or Cluster’s pastoral electronic miniatures, these works are intrinsically tied to the landscape of which they were born. The wobble and crackle of the samples is evocative of the craggy scenery of the lowlands, and also describes the patinated atmosphere of memory, found in the work of Vladislav Delay, Pole, Caretaker, Philip Jeck, Ken Jacobs, and Bill Morrison. The painting adorning the album cover was done by Struck’s great grandfather who was also seduced by this meandering windswept land.

Limited edition of 100 LPs with risograph printed artwork.

Phil Struck - Baizubai (21SC)

Barking´s productions are extensions of his background in live instrumentation and improvisation. The Berlin-based Australian artist delivers on Openthenext label a forward thinking EP that is equally suited for advanced dance floors and home listening sessions.
The music is slow, enveloping, immersive and will surely delight the acid lines and slow techno beats lovers out there.
Moirai EP. can trigger a bunch of different emotions: between the magnetic intensity of ‘Scylla’, the melancholic and hypnotic vision of ‘Khasma“, the haunting voice of “Dionysia” will take you to another uplifting & rhythmic path. This #neodancefloor EP, as the Spanish label defines it, also includes a tripping remix of ‘Scylla’ s from Heap, the man behind Neubau & Discus Throwers. A must for the finest jewelry seekers.
Distribution by Bordello a Parigi.

Record at Le Delta - Namur - Belgium in January 2020.

Recorded and mixed by Frédéric Alstadt - Angström Brussels.

Explorations from within the frame of a broken piano. 

Rubbing and tickling strings - with drone-based undercurrents in leviathanic apparitions; squeals of insects,-  molluscs and intriguing shells; underwater singing and moaning - the work of Belgian musician and performer Anaïs Tuerlinckx entangles us into a captivating constellation of sound, full of roaring tensions, squeaky flashes and the occasional deep, resounding backwash wave.
Four pieces recorded in one afternoon at the Delta in Namur.

Steel breaker waves collapse into a seemingly endless rebounding fall, straight into the bowels of the earth or hell. It is a totally absorbing acoustic approach supported on certain tracks by a bass amp and a monotron synthesizer and a bewildering and fantastically anguishing dynamic richness.

Ending the record with the "false" lull of "Exploration finale d’un corps abîmé" resonating like the last trace of the fall, a sort of end of the total collapse surrounded by various scattered sounds, before the pipe organs of the abyss resonate with the surviving strings remaining from this wonderfully mistreated piano.

A 40 minutes long record by Anaïs Tuerlinckx, the perfect insight into her dense sound universe.

(Liner notes by Sixto)

//

Our encounter with Anaïs was not "at the end of the world" but was one of the most unusual we ever had. It concerns mail, trains and an old piano.

David met Anaïs on a train, during a journey back from Milano. At the Köln station, he had to change platforms and when he was about to jump on the train, David helped a mother put her child's pram on the train.
He sat a few seats from them.

After hours of listening to music on his headphones, he took a break. The wagon was quiet.
While looking out of the window, he heard the child asking about mom’s next day’s schedule. The mom mentioned a trip to her grandparents to be able to go to the studio and record some music.
A little light switched on in my head.

Two minutes before arriving at the Brussels Nord station, David took his courage in both hands and asked her what music she was doing and told her that he was co-running a label.
Anaïs told him she improvises and plays prepared piano. They exchanged emails.

Quite fast, she sent them tracks but they couldn’t find something they all agreed on. A few months later, they received a letter from her, like in the good old days.
The letter was accompanied not by an old cassette but by a USB  containing new pieces of music.
They listened to it many many times and discussed a lot but unfortunately, once again, they didn’t find a selection in order to make everyone happy.

One day, Thomas proposed a residency at Le Delta, in Namur. He found her an old piano that she could treat the way she wanted and on which she could work on some new material for 3 days.

The piano’s body had been stored outside for months, but the beast was not dead yet and was appropriate to exhaust it ‘till it’s core.
This album is a selection of Anaïs’ work during her residency in Le Delta. No edits, no overdub. 40 minutes of pure improvisation.

Note: even after the residency, the piano was still breathing and its strings will be used to print the sleeve’s artwork.
