Inspired by films he grew up watching and a passion for vintage recording equipment, Eyot Tapes has crafted ten pieces of music recording only to cassettes, using cassette loops, spring reverbs, tape delays and a modular synthesiser. Weaving in and out of different moods, with ‘Edgar Rice Burroughs’ stories never far from his mind, he takes you on a trip through an off world, tropical fantasy.

Russia invaded Ukraine on February 24, 2022. Soon it will be a year of this atrocious war shattering our world. The last 9 months have been the most difficult challenge that nobody was prepared for. We are endlessly grateful to everyone who has supported the K41 Community Fund, our label, and our country during these trying times. 

The war is still happening. Every day Ukrainians are bravely resisting the senseless russian terror. Standard Deviation has had to suspend its activities in recent months. During this period, we were putting all our energy towards helping those in need, and collecting the pieces of all that we’ve built in two years and that was taken away overnight. For a long time releasing music and art did not seem to have meaning to us. 

Eventually, we were left with no choice but to adapt to this new reality. We made the decision to keep on doing what we believe in, no matter the circumstances. Our first release in 9 months is a bittersweet moment. In honor of the club’s third anniversary this weekend we have put together our second fundraising compilation titled ‘From Ukraine, For Ukraine’. The compilation consists of music from Ukrainian artists and from our friends from abroad. In accordance with our current feelings, the tonality of this compilation is melancholic and fragile, yet hopeful. All proceeds will be donated to The K41 Community Fund. 

For our anniversary weekend, our fund has a goal of collecting 500,000 UAH to purchase tablets for the 93rd Separate Mechanized Brigade and to support volunteer initiatives in our network. 

We would like to thank all the artists who contributed to this release: Andriy Kostyukov, Ars Was Taken, Chaosy & Costa, czysta forma, DJ Stingray, Evita Manji, Hanna Svirska, Heith, human margareeta, Katarina Gryvul, Koloah ft. Studnitzky, M.E.S.H., Marcel Dettmann, Maryana Klochko, Setaoc Mass, shemovesshe, Louwave & Splinter (UA), Tzusing, Yana Ilo, СУМ, and everyone else who directly and indirectly has supported us in the last months.

"Florian T M Zeisig’s splendid debut 𝘠𝘰𝘶 𝘓𝘰𝘰𝘬 𝘚𝘰 𝘚𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘰𝘶𝘴 was constructed out of 426 tape loops from Enya’s 𝘞𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘮𝘢𝘳𝘬. 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝒔𝒖𝒏 𝒔𝒑𝒆𝒂𝒌𝒔 𝒕𝒉𝒓𝒐𝒖𝒈𝒉 𝒘𝒂𝒕𝒆𝒓 𝒂𝒔 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒔𝒌𝒚 𝒕𝒓𝒂𝒗𝒆𝒍𝒔 𝒕𝒉𝒓𝒐𝒖𝒈𝒉 𝒔𝒐𝒖𝒏𝒅. Using up to eight pitch-able tape players, the artist cut these loops and reassembled them, crafting captivating sound dialogues whose unforeseen and precise beauty emerges from a sense of curiosity and awe in the layered relationship between fragments. 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝒈𝒆𝒂𝒓 𝒕𝒓𝒂𝒊𝒏 𝒐𝒇 𝒂 𝒄𝒍𝒐𝒄𝒌 𝒈𝒆𝒕𝒔 𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒓𝒓𝒂𝒏𝒈𝒆𝒅, 𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒉𝒂𝒑𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒕𝒊𝒎𝒆 𝒊𝒏𝒕𝒐 𝒂 𝒃𝒓𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒏𝒆𝒘 𝒓𝒆𝒄𝒐𝒈𝒏𝒊𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏.

For the 5th anniversary of this work, Zeisig revisited the original archive of loops and created an absorbingly introspective second volume with loops that had not been previously used, following the same approach. 𝑨 𝒓𝒐𝒄𝒌 𝒇𝒂𝒍𝒍𝒔 𝒊𝒏𝒕𝒐 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒍𝒂𝒌𝒆, 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒘𝒂𝒕𝒆𝒓 𝒓𝒖𝒔𝒉𝒆𝒔 𝒃𝒂𝒄𝒌 𝒕𝒐 𝒇𝒊𝒍𝒍 𝒊𝒏 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒆𝒎𝒑𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒆𝒔𝒔 𝒍𝒆𝒇𝒕 𝒃𝒆𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒅.

𝘠𝘰𝘶 𝘓𝘰𝘰𝘬 𝘚𝘰 𝘚𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘰𝘶𝘴 was largely focused on technique and conceptual elaboration, but 𝘠𝘰𝘶 𝘓𝘰𝘰𝘬 𝘚𝘰 𝘚𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘰𝘶𝘴 𝘐𝘐 is not so preoccupied with an overly intellectual quest. 𝑩𝒂𝒓𝒆𝒇𝒐𝒐𝒕 𝒖𝒑𝒐𝒏 𝒔𝒑𝒂𝒓𝒌𝒍𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒎𝒊𝒄𝒂 𝒄𝒉𝒊𝒑𝒔, 𝒘𝒆 𝒔𝒕𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒖𝒑𝒐𝒏 𝒂𝒏 𝒆𝒂𝒓𝒕𝒉 𝒆𝒏𝒄𝒓𝒖𝒔𝒕𝒆𝒅 𝒘𝒊𝒕𝒉 𝒘𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒘𝒆 𝒔𝒉𝒆𝒅. 𝑶𝒖𝒓 𝒓𝒐𝒐𝒕𝒔 𝒂𝒏 𝒊𝒏𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒕𝒆𝒅 𝒈𝒓𝒐𝒘𝒕𝒉 𝒘𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒆 𝒑𝒐𝒔𝒔𝒊𝒃𝒊𝒍𝒊𝒕𝒚 𝒊𝒔 𝒄𝒊𝒑𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒆𝒅.

Freeing itself from formal concerns as a guiding principle, the second volume unravels from a deeply emotional impulse towards artistic and personal honesty. 𝑨 𝒔𝒆𝒄𝒓𝒆𝒕 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒆𝒗𝒂𝒑𝒐𝒓𝒂𝒕𝒆𝒔 𝒂𝒔 𝒔𝒐𝒐𝒏 𝒂𝒔 𝒊𝒕 𝒊𝒔 𝒖𝒏𝒅𝒆𝒓𝒔𝒕𝒐𝒐𝒅. 𝑰𝒕𝒔 𝒆𝒄𝒉𝒐 𝒌𝒆𝒆𝒑𝒔 𝒐𝒏 𝒕𝒓𝒊𝒄𝒌𝒍𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒅𝒐𝒘𝒏 𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒔𝒌𝒊𝒏. 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝒎𝒚𝒔𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒚 𝒕𝒓𝒂𝒏𝒔𝒇𝒐𝒓𝒎𝒔, 𝒊𝒕 𝒔𝒆𝒆𝒑𝒔 𝒊𝒏𝒕𝒐 𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒐𝒓𝒈𝒂𝒏𝒔. 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝒎𝒚𝒔𝒕𝒆𝒓𝒚 𝒊𝒔 𝒎𝒆𝒕𝒂𝒃𝒐𝒍𝒊𝒛𝒆𝒅 𝒊𝒏𝒕𝒐 𝒘𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒘𝒆 𝒅𝒐𝒏’𝒕 𝒆𝒙𝒑𝒆𝒄𝒕.

While the first volume opened up spaces of unprecedented wonder, the second not only expands these spaces and stretches them out into landscapes: more importantly, it also dares to inhabit them. 𝑰 𝒘𝒊𝒍𝒍 𝒃𝒖𝒊𝒍𝒅 𝒂 𝒉𝒐𝒖𝒔𝒆 𝒘𝒊𝒕𝒉 𝒎𝒚 𝒗𝒐𝒊𝒄𝒆 𝒔𝒐 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒄𝒂𝒏 𝒉𝒂𝒖𝒏𝒕 𝒊𝒕 𝒊𝒏 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒅𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒎𝒔. A liberation from the mandate that artworks need to be “about something,” 𝘠𝘰𝘶 𝘓𝘰𝘰𝘬 𝘚𝘰 𝘚𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘰𝘶𝘴 𝘐𝘐 stands as a mirror made of memories, offering a meaningful reflection of the last five years of the artist’s life. 𝑲𝒏𝒐𝒄𝒌𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒅𝒐𝒐𝒓 𝒐𝒇 𝒂𝒏 𝒐𝒎𝒏𝒊𝒑𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒆𝒏𝒕 𝒈𝒐𝒐𝒅𝒃𝒚𝒆: 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒇𝒂𝒓𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒔𝒕 𝒂𝒘𝒂𝒚 𝒔𝒐𝒖𝒏𝒅 𝒊𝒔 𝒂𝒍𝒘𝒂𝒚𝒔 𝒕𝒓𝒚𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒕𝒐 𝒓𝒆𝒕𝒖𝒓𝒏."

You Look So Serious I + II

Florian T M Zeisig - x (ENMB-06-II)

Jagged textures permeate the atmospheric landscapes of ambient and merge with the rapid flows of post-punk and industrial. The mix serves as a sonic metaphor for serenity disrupted by the feeling of an impending internal explosion that will bring peace back. For everything to start all over again.
