POOLcast 021 - Sasha Kaline

Its august, the month when summer ends. Last chance for vacation if you were not already. We had our break from the urban landscape towards nature and everyone brought stories back. Also Sasha Kaline, responsible for this episode of our POOLcast series, had this time in nature and probably made his own experiences which are worth telling.

Unfortunately stories about nature, in its pure form, aren't ordinary anymore. Nature became a product and has to serve us - keep us alive, healthy and entertained. In the early history of mankind the world was a mystery. People told themselves tales about creation, ancient gods, elder creatures and wisdoms about life. Nature was all-embracing and people were aware that they were part of the environment. But over thousands of years we demystify and subdued nature. The storytelling got lost. Nowadays people mainly talk about human things. We talking about politics, religions, money, technology, gossip, etc - all this gives us the feeling that we have everything under control. Maybe this is the reason we separate ourselves more and more from nature. Although it has been shown, that nature is much more than we could imagine. Now we know nature isn’t just green forests, blue oceans and white mountains. Radioactivity, solar winds and quantum entanglement are also a piece of it. The flora, fauna and infrastructure on Earth playing just a tiny role. Perhaps we need new types of stories to open our mind for the true nature again.

Sasha’s submission is called “Concrete Tales” and could be such new kind of narrative. The world is not static, everything always changes. Also at Mr. Kaline’s soundwork. He crafted pieces with his modular, took field recordings and mixed it with some vintage vinyls. The results in a melange, which is constantly in motion, and never takes firm forms even in the case of repeated hearing.

Enjoy.

POOLcast 021 - Sasha Kaline

POOLcast 022 - PLO

We have published twenty-two POOLcasts in a row, now. Music by 20 different artists. Unique pieces from all over the world. Canada, USA, Colombia, France, England, Switzerland, Australia, Sri Lanka, etc. and many more to come. But there is one in our line up which has a special meaning and also delivers the core spirit of the POOLcast the most - PLO.

POOL Lab Orchestra is the core of everything that THE POOL BERLIN and POOLcast define. Bringing people, knowledge and art on all levels together, especially while PLO meetings with its basic idea of live jams and visuals. During PLO's sessions, countless artists were involved and new ones get invited again and again. Each session is a unique and independent experience. Musicians and their instruments, whether on a laptop, synthesizer, drum computer or modular system, perform music together without any rules or genre restrictions. Loud, quiet, fast, slow, straight, broken, warm, cold, bright, dark. All sorts of conditions a session can adopt. Sometimes coherently in a marathon lasting several hours or sometimes quickly fluctuating in a few minutes. 

The recording, which is now released as POOLcast 022, was created at a meeting of 7 artists. Namely Matt & Mark Thibideau, Dr. Nojoke, Demas, ANN, frOm KaraOkE tO StardOm and Waldboot. Played on 2 laptops, Elektron Digitakt & Octatrack, iPad, Korg Mono­logue and 2 modular systems.

POOLcast 022 - PLO

POOLcast 024 - unaporte

In november 2015 we publish the first POOLcast, two years with many different pieces by all kinds of artists. From young to old, with new and well-known faces as well as people from the city or far away. We have always tried to create POOLcast with the credo 'artistic work first' and no worry this will not chance. But we will see chances in the near future. The first and most obvious is the new look, as usual for our anniversary. In the next months we will continue to introduce changes and improvements. One thing that will not change is that we will publish a POOLcast every 15th of the month.

For POOLcast 024 we invited unaporte from Colombia. A young artist from the other side of the world. He knows better than anyone else how to create an almost tangible atmosphere with sounds. He probably owes this to the fact that, in addition to his musical abilities, he also promotes his pictorial skills. For his POOLcast entry he found inspiration in various areas. Lecture about the interplay between geography and art, interludes on his brother's guitar and recording things around him. The small tape machine and a microphone are daily companion for Jonathan. To capture inspiration where he encounters them provides a very special touch to his work.

Profound, emotional and thrilling.
Enjoy.

POOLcast 026 - Collab Special - Demiurge + The Artist Formerly Known As From Karaoke To Stardom

Happy New Year to everyone. For the first edition of 2018 we have something very special. One in a row of Collaboration Specials - two artist join forces to make a POOLcast. This time it’s Demiurge the new moniker of Klangscheiben’s Demas catching up with ‘The Artist Formerly Known As From Karaoke To Stardom’.

Demiurge and The Artist Formerly Known As From Karaoke To Stardom have folded up their modular system and went into the studio to record a live modular set for us. The result is dense, melodic, dark and groovy. Exactly what we had hoped for from our first special POOLcast. Keeping our minds fresh and open.

POOLcast 026 - Collab Special - Demiurge + The Artist Formerly Known As From Karaoke To Stardom

POOLcast 027 - Nitz

For this month's episode of the POOLcast we invited Nitz from Slovenia. He is part of the scene since ages. If is because of his performances in Europe or his work with labels like Bleepsequence or Pluie/Noir. For POOLcast 027 Nitz has compiled a set with tracks of himself, records of his backmost corner of his collection and recently snatched gems.

The outcome is emotional. A key point for POOLcasts and maybe also an overused catch phrase. But “emotional” isn’t just a lazy description than more like a theme. For example - you listen this the day after Valentine's Day, Nitz’s work could sounds hopeful, electrifying or maybe it’s sound more melancholic and afar. You decide. Listen today, in a week, in a year and learn about yourself.

POOLcast 032 - Ditch

Summer POOLcast number two. For 032 we have invited Ditch from Japan, who currently lives in Berlin. Ditch is a long time member of the electronic music scene, with release on label as minibar, microcosm, kalimari to mention a few. His music currently employs modular experiments and jazz progressions embedded in minimalist ambiences.

For POOLcast Ditch provided us a recording in tribute to jazz. Fieldtextures and soundscapes serving as a foundation which he paired with brushed percussions and plucked synth sounds. Enjoy.

POOLcast 041 - Meow the Seventh
 
Spring is around the corner, time for a new face. For our 41th POOLcast we invited Meow the Seventh. She provides us with a selfcrafted live project that perfectly bridges the last cold days.

The time of the year to finally banish scarves and gloves to the depths of the wardrobes, when the trees fill their old veins with life again, the first brave sprouts push their offspring through the soil and the air fills up again with sounds beyond mechanical origins. A feeling arises that everyone describes differently, sometimes it is the feeling of wanting to tackle something new, sometimes it is the thought of having overcome something or simply the inexplicable feeling that comes with looking at green foliage against a blue sky. No matter what images and feelings go through your mind when you think of the upcoming spring, you will find them in Meow's work. A piece characterized by resolute synth lines, promising soundscapes, dynamic grooves and vibrant tonal structures.

Grab your headphones and enjoy.

POOLcast 043 - Collab Special - Infinite Monkey Theorem ( ANN + Waldboot )

We end the first half of 2019 with another Collaboration Special. The Infinite Monkey Theorem is a very special one for us as it represents the longest overdue musical collaboration between Marcus Block and Sebastian Mehl, the driving forces behind POOLcast production. 

The musical identities of Marcus and Sebastian have now been firmly connected for almost a decade. The foundation for this was laid by the jam sessions in the studio of the trio 'Three Apes', where they discovered their shared enthusiasm for live electronic music with Ray Dansky. After joining forces with Dr.Nojoke and Demas, who shared the same passion, The POOL Berlin, POOLcast and PLO were born. But until the beginning of this year, there was no project of the two that had its own name or that they shared with the public. Infinite Monkey Theorem is the platform they needed to take the next step in their musical development. Long story short, two guys with synths and keys pushing buttons and turning knobs with leads to drone, ambient, jazz and experimental.

Enjoy.

Press Release:

In what was a definitive first year for the imprint, with two solid EPs from Petre Inspirescu and Vlad Caia, Pluie/Noir also endorsed numerous acclaimed Podcasts and served as the platform for various artistic endeavors embraced not only by their own artists but also by the world. To commemorate this achievement, and in a respectful manner to their long time collaborators, the imprint is now releasing a 12 track compilation spread across three 12”s showcasing the various sounds that personify the imprint and give their artists a well deserved voice.
The narrative to the compilation reflects the minimalistic musical template that is so dear to Pluie/Noir, where simple and complex structures meet along the way in the attempt of creating something that can last in time. Each track is a concise exploration of house music’s skeleton, leaving nothing to waste, but never feeling in slightest bit sterile. It’s surprising and unpredictable, but in an organized, artistic manner.
Three_Angle’s ‘Hor-Ma’ (A1) progresses subtly, shaped by soft bumps and clicks. It’s welcoming, cleverly paving the way for the rest the compilation to interact. The now familiar Radiq follows with a typically eccentric addition, ‘Goodbye South Goodbye’ (A2). Characterised by its splintered hybridization microhouse and ambient techno, it’s certainly a head turner. Pluie/Noir founder Cleymoore contributes with ‘Starpauseflash’, a sleek and delicate number that uses looped keys and syncopated percussion to create something thought provoking. ‘New Way’ by Ztrl (B2) follows in this vein, the funky, tripped-out pattering of percussion and dreamy keynotes are spread out across a remarkably stripped-back rhythmic blueprint. Vlad Caia’s ‘Subject 238’ (C1) represents the taste of Romania that has been so inspirational to Pluie/Noir. It’s simple, clean and devastatingly effective. Diogo’s delightfully named ‘Insecuriosity’ (C1) is an impudent tapestry of sounds, rich with idiosyncratic sampling and impulsivity, reminiscent of early micro-house. This evocation is carried over to Dr. Nojoke’s alluring ‘Awrani’ (D1), which again exposes its very delicate compositional layers by draining everything from its low-end. It’s a divine afterhours groove that ripples and shakes in all the right places. French-born & based Seuil changes gear with ‘Prelude’ (D2), which draws from the same diverse sonic palate as those before him on the compilation but works from a noticeably more solid 4/4 foundation. Albert Schwartz’s ‘11aa99’ (E1) introduces the compi- lation’s first use of vocals - the deep, soulful American lyrics work alchemically with the shuffling house beat. ‘An Apple a Day’ by Andres Marcos (E2) is another percussive session, but the experimental Pluie/Noir touches keep the piece alive. The penultimate ‘White Steps’ by Levat (F1) is a gorgeous slice of microhouse, lean and groovy, the vocal slivers adding a warm feeling to the mix, before the compilation closes with S.A.M’s ‘You’re Gonna Be Okay’ (F2), another outing of enigmatic, stripped-back house.
Presented in gatefold format - once again designed by man-of-the-house Max Binski, and painted in collaboration with Ayane - this highly collectable release reflects on a successful first year for Pluie/Noir while also signifying a very promising future. A canon of DJ delights on one hand, it’s also wonderfully applicable in the home setting, ensuring its practical longevity and status as a musical treasure for a long time to come.

All for the love of the snippets of beats.
If life is a construction site, then Demas is the architect of beats in his endless, exquisite building lot of sound.  His laboratory is located in the thoughtful town of Thuringia, Germany.  From here he perpetually runs his label, Klangscheiben Records, spreading the sound of the quirky funky beat.  
His live act stands to challenge Darwin's theory that dancing is the vertical expression of a horizontal desire, as dance for Demas is the vitality and groove of the body and mind.  No one will escape the hip-wiggling and neck disco he elicits with his sound.
