My Life, The Remix

This is not me. I am not a soldier in the Ukrainian Armed Forces, wearing my father's wartime uniform, on a laptop in a basement somewhere. I am an experimental producer.
but for some reason Russians want me dead, therefore
This is not me. I did not produce these wonders of soundwave, I did not mix the remix and master the masterpiece. I am a soldier in the Ukrainian Armed Forces, wearing my father's uniform.

But a heart is a heart and there are eleven hearts here and they are S280F and Grischa Lichtenberger and Angelo Harmsworth and Galen Tipton and sv1 and trngs and Sara Persico and Hwoaranng and Ludwig Wandinger and Ross Alexander and John Object. I am a file on their drives and they are the song in my heart.

The idea for a John Object compilation would seem obvious to some, as I really do know some of the greatest Ableton Live users to ever stumble upon this plane. I never had the heart to ask!

Ludwig Wandinger and Ross Alexander are two of my friends from Berlin, and they are, to date, the only people that made it their business to bring me to play in that blessed city. I played at 8MM Bar both times (that place is fucking sweet) at Salon Oblique events. Now, at this war, in what I can only describe as a gesture of love and tender caring, they called upon the geniuses of today to work on my work and provided me with an album where there could not be one. This is a remix compilation that I found out about only when it was already release-ready.

I really only could take one night off, walked to the nearest village, and my dear friend Andrii, a soldier himself, brought me my camera, and I titled the compilation in blood. Then for a month I worked on a .pdf booklet for the digital edition, that, really, tells the whole story.

I think this is probably the wildest, most advanced music ever to be released by a soldier in active service.

I can't adequately express the crushing magnitude of tenderness, love and gratitude that I feel towards every person involved.

Thank you S280F: https://s280f.bandcamp.com
thank you Grischa: https://grischa-lichtenberger.com
thank you Angelo: https://angeloharmsworth.bandcamp.com
thank you Galen: https://o0o0o0o0.bandcamp.com
thank you sv1: https://sv-1.bandcamp.com
thank you trngs: https://trngs.bandcamp.com
thank you Sara: https://sarapersico.com
thank you Hwoarang: fantasyfictionrecords.bandcamp.com/album/won-for-the-heart
thank you Ludwig: www.ludwigwandinger.com
thank you Ross: https://rossalexanderpayne.com
thank you Andrii for being the best friend in peace and in war.

This all happened only because Ross brought me to Berlin for Salon Oblique at 8MM Bar www.salonoblique.net, and then Ludwig brought me to Berlin to record with him and play at Salon Oblique again, and then because they cared about me, and because my friend Andrii brought me the camera and helped me find the right way to call this.

So much never happened, and so much never will, because of Russians and their deep-seated hatred of me, of everyone I love, and everyone Ukrainian. I am still at war and I am still under threat of violent death every day. Many people I knew and served with have already been murdered by Russians. I am just lucky.

Coming soon:
Limited edition engraved USB carabiner drive with Plead, .pdf booklet, and a recording of a John Object live set at Salon Oblique on October 18th, 2021, when the war seemed so very, very unlikely, and this existence was not imaginable at all. Ships starting November 1st.

Heat (Galen Tipton Megamix)

porcelain heart with a million fractures 
u didn’t ask so i didn’t answer 
i’m not so sure that i could take a hit

but i would use my last rabbits paw
my final wish 
to refute what i can’t relinquish myself

its Wednesday evening, im sitting alone getting tipsy just by listening to jhl from MacBook Pro 14’ 2023 Apple M2 Pro speakers.
this is what i call A Sweet Melancholy.

♦

they say you can get addicted to a certain kind of sadness and it has to be true because i’ve been struggling with taking my ears of “concertina” - a blissful, dreamful, beautiful, meaningful, peaceful, cheerful, eventful marathon of ballads about all the tastes of Longing.

you see, usually, A Song is an empty shell to fill with one's soul. the fundament of this album is a collection of The-Ultimate-Poppiest-Pop-Songs that have been heard and (over)used so many times they are not (and they can’t be [and maybe they should not be]) shells anymore - they became sonic monuments appropriated by Those Who Own.
[don’t get me wrong - part of the pop’s charm is the fact that it is not emotionally owned by you]
jhl builds their own story on this fucked up fundament and it’s a story so intimate and so earnest that listening through these covers feels like reading an autobiography or screaming the deepest of your lungs out into the sky. it feels deeply Real. it feels cathartic.

the sparkling piled up granuling granular granules of vibrant sound design, the scintillating symphonies, the tight punchy crunchy crispy drums, the biosphere of OSCs, the tender angelic cherubic smooth vocals, The Infatuations.

♦

as you grow old, you change! your music taste changes, your eyesight gets worse, your back starts aching and memories collected through the years change too! jhl covers transcend the originals. they give them a new meaning. they let you merge with civilizational memories embedded in them.
Beautiful, Powerful and Magical - that’s what that album is
🥀

ps Owl City had a nice track with Carly Rea Jepson for ‘Wreck It Ralph’ - that album brought it back to my queue
