"Hamuli" consists in two graphic notations arising from the unpredictable, the error and the echo - in an undetermined space where that encounter occurs.
It's a proposal that relates the reverse and the inverse movement as a game to be played.
Put the headphones on, stand in the center of each score, about 2 meters from the wall. And listen.

To be free, means to be a freak. Whether as a DJ, label manager, T-Shirt creator or all-round talent – since two decades, Ellen Allien is one of Berlin’s exceptional phenomena that have created her own universe with the combination of old school-based underground love and contemporary experimental spirit. After the lovely musical affair with Thomas Muller for the track „Free Nation“, for her new solo release we hear the anniversary bells ringing. The three tracks – which are co-produced by Martin Eyerer and Skinnerbox – already mark the 300th catalog number of BPitch Control.
The „Freak EP“ is not only the result of the last months in Berlin; it also flags up the change to Ibiza, where Ellen uses the warm season to spray her positive vibe during her residency in DC 10. „Butterfly“ acts like the kick-off and not only host graceful 808 pinpricks, with the dreamy melody in the background a nostalgic aura raises that reveals Ellen’s warmer side. Especially the bass rumble emphasizes the physicality of her music in an impressive manner – in short: pure love. „Come To
Me“ is desire and passion within seven and a half minutes. In addition to the deep house frame groovy beats pushes in the foreground that sets free a hypnotic mantra. Spineless dancefloor magic that rewinds time with the haunting rave signal, floating Roland synths and the SH101 raveline. With the title track „Freak The Night Away“, Ellen once more succeeded in creating a hymn that embodies both the slogan of every great night as well as the strong atmosphere of her energetic DJ sets. Again, we hear Ellen’s charming voice – crazy, playful, creative. Following the motto: just go! With rattling claps and a warm bass, dancing won’t become a compulsion; the track clearly goes under the skin with its 303 acid hints as well as Roland piano sounds and opens the gate to another dimension. A stunning release! Happy jubilee!

Ellen Allien - Butterfly

WOANDERS © 2014 is one of my newest - not quite finished yet. Being an electronic collage of sounds from several earlier works, recordings from near and far away places, and having been performed in earlier versions - with other names - it is indeed a "work in progress" - it has been for several years, and may continue life-long? Like in "Zu versuchen, die Fragen" from which much is "recycled", The Poet Rilke is an inspiration and many of his words in hidden background. A finished (and provisional?) version (dur. 18') is on the way soon, and here you have the start of it - in stereo - the original is in quadrophonic format.

Part I -  Trilogy 120

A theremin coalesces with the song of a wren in this piece inspired by Stoppard's description of the random movement of electrons in an atom.

I use MaxMSP to augment the theremin so it can move seamlessly from a classic electronic instrument to a birdsong controller.

From the album Ealing Feeder (Sarah Angliss)

A Wren In the Cathedral

‘The Birds’ are three tracks released together as the lead singles from the upcoming album, aptly named ‘Sketches’, due to its stripped down nature, is bejeweled by thematic undercurrents. 

‘Sketches’ serves to reintroduce listeners to Ackroyd’s most stunning pieces from her previous albums, all of which have been reworked into ‘acoustic’ solo piano arrangements alongside four brand new unheard pieces, which offer a taste of a new forthcoming record. The mini album sees a July release in preparation for a brand new full length album to be released in October, and One Little Indian will also reissue Ackroyd’s back catalogue on CD and vinyl alongside the new mini-album.
