Taken from @FranzKirmann 'Madrapour' album - Out 4th October 
Stream and download - https://bytes.lnk.to/Madrapour

Analog ambient piece Madrapour features melancholy drenched in reverb, fuzzy synthesisers and sometimes ethnic-sounding modular sequences. With hardly any beats, the “comedown record” favours drones and gorgeous textures and melodies with a certain cinematic quality.

Zagrebački Električni vs. Hawaiian Surfer - Putovnica za Berlin

“Trippy vocals and textures, drums fetishism, classy bass-driven sets.”
The French, Berlin-based DJ’s genre-defying sets are a hypnotic blend of tradition and
futurism, weaving psychedelic layers of traditional music, free jazz, noise, dub, footwork,
and breakcore. She has been lauded for her ability to captivate audiences with fearless
experimentation and the ability to jump seamlessly between bpms and genres.
Morphine Records,YOUTH &amp; Ominira affiliate, Marylou has graced stages at Atonal,
Intonal, CTM, and Berghain, and opened for boundary-pushing acts like Senyawa, Actress,
and Valentina Magaletti. Her fans include esteemed figures such as Donato Dozzy, Rabih
Beaini, DJ Marcelle, Lena Willikens, and more, drawn to her unique sonic narratives that
evoke her background in painting, cinema, and soundsystem culture. From organizing
Parisian parties to advising in studios and becoming a Rinse France resident, Marylou’s
journey has shaped her into a trailblazing artist. Now based in Berlin and a part of this
year’s SHAPE+ roster, she’s integral to Morphine Raum’s community, crafting mixes
steeped in cinematic, improvisational, and noisy explorations while keeping dance at her
heart.
Marylou is an artist of the SHAPE+ platform for innovative music and interdisciplinary art,
co-funded by the European Union and Pro Helvetia.

Postcards from the Void 039 w/ Right Knider (21.03.25)

Living with Éliane Radigue

This piece, based on several field recordings has been requested, by the Cercle des Amitiés Créoles de la Creuse. The theme was Banks and Shores. It has been designed to be listened with headphones during an exhibition.

Cette pièce, basée sur plusieurs enregistrements de terrain, a été demandée par le Cercle des Amitiés Créoles de la Creuse sur le thème de Berges et des Rivages. Elle a été conçue pour être écoutée au casque pendant un évènement public organisée par l'association du 4 au 10 mai 2025.

Phenomena is Mind 2

"The ear perceives the most elusive sounds amidst the sharpest noises.
Sounds have a color, and colors have a music.
Musical notes are numbers, and you solve prodigious arithmetic calculations with frightening speed as the music unfolds in your ear.
You are sitting, and smoking." 

Du vin et du hachish -- C. Baudelaire

I have to close my eyes
to see you in my dreams
a ray of sunlight passes through the pearl curtains in the kitchen,
I wait patiently for you to comb my hair

Garden in the air 001 w/ galoops (25.06.25)

Walking through the dead of night there was an overwhelming sense of tension which hung in the mysterious air. This was Salem and it was a place of great peril and anger - those who danced beneath the glow of streetlights were wicked and cruel whilst those that watched on from an Ivory tower had much to lose. There was evil in this town, the type that was hard to find. It was perfect for the rogues and vagabonds who would like to cause mischief and hazard beneath the cloak of darkness...

Franz Kirmann is set to release a new album on Ransom Note affiliated record label Bytes, an imprint which has been widely supported and well received since formation. The new album comes from a singular musician and producer who channels the atmospheric and the abstract. However, perhaps Franz is best left to explain for himself...

"My next album, entitled Madrapour, will be a cassette released by Ransom Note sub label Bytes. This is a return to my analog hardware roots after the very digital Elysian Park I released in 2016. One of my musical heroes Andrew Weatherall describes it as “achingly beautiful” and that means a lot to me! I hope you will agree with him!"
