"… But you get the rough idea of me and my friends moving in and out of homes, how we topologically move back and forth between dreams and rational realms. I loved my friends so much."
The motifs of Emol's storytelling rely on transforming rooms and on exchanging identities. The basic requirement for their music is the communication between acoustic instruments with synthetic ones. FRIENDS, AV4T4RS—Book 1 is their first full lenght storytelling music album, brought to you by »Bad Boy Jesus Tape Club«.

ANKATHIE KOI - KATE, IT'S HUNTING SEASON

The Legend Lady J - Glock N My Hand (1994)

Suzanne Ciani
Buchla Concerts 1975
FKR082LP
Finders Keepers Records

Finders Keepers invite you to witness the incredible first ever Buchla synthesiser concerts/demonstrations providing a distinctive feminine alternative to The Silver Apples Of The Moon if they had ever been presented in phonographic form. This is history in the remaking.

This spring Finders Keepers Records are proud to release an archival project that not only redefines musical history but boasts genuine claim to the overused buzzwords such as pioneering, maverick, experimental, groundbreaking and esoteric, while questioning social politics and the evolution of music technology as we’ve come to understand it. To describe this records as a game-changer is an understatement. This record represents a musical revolution, a scientific benchmark and a trophy in the cabinet of counter culture creativity. This record is a triumphant yardstick in the synthesiser space race and the untold story of the first woman on the proverbial moon. While pondering the early accolades of this record it’s daunting to learn that this record was in fact not a record at all… It was a manifesto and a gateway to a new world, that somehow never quite opened. If the unfamiliar, modernistic, melodic, pulses, tones and harmonics found on this 1975 live presentation/grant application/educational demonstration had been placed in a phonographic context alongside the promoted work of Morton Subotnick, Walter Carlos or Tomita then the name Suzanne Ciani and her influence would have already radically changed the shape, sound and gender of our record collections. Hopefully there is still chance.

In short, Suzanne was a self-imposed twenty-year-old employee of the Buchla modular synthesiser company, San Francisco’s neck and neck contender to New York’s Moog. Buchla was run by a community of festival freaks and academic acid eaters whose roots in new age lifestyles and the reinvention of art and music replaced the business acumen enjoyed by its likeminded East Coasters. In the eyes of the consumer the creative refusal to adopt rudimentary facets like a piano keyboard controller rendered the Buchla synthesiser the more obscure stubborn sister of the synth marathon, steering these incredible units away from the mainstream into the homes and studios of free music aficionados, art house composers and die-hard revolutionaries. Championed and semi-showcased by composer Morton Subotnick on his albums The Bull and Silver Apples Of The Moon, Buchla’s versatility began to open the minds of a new generation, but the high-end design features and no-compromise modus operandi was often confused with incompatibility and, in the pulsating shadow of Moog’s marketing, the revolution would not be televised nor patronised. Suzanne Ciani, as one of the very few female composers on the frontline (and also providing the back line) did not lose faith.

These “concerts” are the epitome of rare music technology historic documents, performed by a real musician whose skills and academic education in classical composition already outweighed her male synthesiser contemporaries of twice her age. At the very start of her fragile career these recordings are nothing short of sacrificial ode to her mentor and machine, sonic pickets of the revolution and love letters to an absolutely genuine vision of and ‘alternative’ musical future. In denouncing her own precocious polymathmatic past in a bid to persuade the world to sing from a new hymn sheet, Suzanne Ciani created a bi-product of never before heard music that would render the pigeon holes “ambient” and “futuristic” utterly inadequate. Providing nothing short of an entirely different feminine take on the experimental “records” of Morton Subotnick and proving to a small, judgmental audience and jury the true versatility of one of the most radical and idiosyncratic musical instruments of the 20th century. These recordings have not been heard since then.

▲Sngglz is a Dresden based Dj who is known by many as a very nice person but his digging and technical skillz are beyond of very nice. Blending together different styles, his set definitly takes you there, where you want to be taken in an enviroment like this. Minimal Synth, Psychedelic Electronics, Dark Disco, Afro Electro are just a few keywords to describe the sound he will set up in the Sameheads basement.

▲Syncboy is a true connoisseur when it comes to analog musicgear. Based in Leipzig he will travel to berlin with a van, to make sure the drummachines, doeper eurorack cases, classic analog synthesizer and analog effects are all on board. His sound can be described as Krautish electronics with as touch of wave and a pinch of industrial acid. This is gonna a once in a live time experience to see him working behind a wall of sound generating boxes.

▲spAceLex is berlin based Dj, Producer and Founder of Mond-Musik and Co Founder of Frisbee Records. He has been collecting and spinning obscure disco, wave, new beat, acid & afro cosmic records for many years. After releasing a couple of tracks on a few minimal synth labels he did his first record on the now legendary and sadly missed Dissident from London. Afterwards he started Frisbee Records together with Albion (Sweden) and Dea (London) to release edits of the rarest electronic disco tunes from 1977 - 1980.
As head of Mond-Musik he focus on releasing ultra rare german underground dance music from the last decades. 
spAceLex also performs together with Andrea Noce in the formations Vera Mona, Agency Amore and Andrea & Alexander.
With his recent two releases as Aufgang B (Neubau / Serious trouble), together with his friend Cid, they also discover the more rough side of electronics.
