Two Thousand & Seventeen

EXCLUSIVE LIVE SET IN KYIV DONATE to DOWNLOAD €5

Hey,

I've been growing more and more horrified by the day at the abhorrent destruction, loss of life & deteriorating conditions in Ukraine. It's beyond comprehension, beyond any reason. I fully condemn the actions of the megalomaniac, tyrannical dictator Putin, his regime, those that do his bidding and the wholly unnecessary wrecking of a country and it's people.

I was thinking of a way I could personally help raise cash for the dire humanitarian conditions in Ukraine. Late last summer I was lucky enough to visit both Kyiv and Lviv, spending a little time in each and discovered what an amazing country and beautiful people it has.

I played a show in Kyiv and thought It could be a good idea to make that live set exclusively available to download for a small donation of €5 or more. This donation will go towards one of the many humanitarian causes that are doing all they can to alleviate the horrors met upon the people of Ukraine.

I loved playing for the crowd at Brave Factory Festival, particularly because it was the first show I had played since the start of the pandemic so it contains a large amount of unheard and fresh material. The live set itself is longer than usual at 105 mins. It will not be made available anywhere else

I appreciate that this is one small gesture but no matter how small, it is something I can do right now which I hope will make at least a little contribution in some way.

I've not had a chance to decide what organisation could make the best use of money raised but i will get back to you on that, rest assured any and all cash will go to a good cause or causes.

You can paypal me direct, include your email and I will send you the link to download the live set

“We Are Power”, Galaxian’s first album in over a decade, cuts a new path. On this Foul-Up and Shipwrec joint release, Kastner presents a rumination on the confrontation and power clash between humankind, nature, the spiritual and mechanistic industrial growth societies. What is authentic power? What is granted power? What is innate natural power? How is power accessed, wielded, utilised, felt? On this album the blistering beats and razor-edged rhythms that characterise the Glaswegian’s productions have been softened, the menace melted, the angst soothed (well almost.)

Across eleven tracks, distinct audio vistas are surveyed. The human form takes centre stage from the opening monologue of “Out of Balance” with the entire record searching for balance between humankind, nature, orthodox culture & the machine. At times the machine wins. “We Are Power” is a corruption of voice, samples chopped, sliced and fed into controllers and sequencers to produce a dense decibel wall. That wall grows ever higher in the terrifying drone of “Anatomy of a Modern Lie.” At other points, a perfect symmetry between artist and tool is found. The racing interchanges and pulses of “Universal Truths” give rise to dawning reprises and warmth. For those after an electro fix, Galaxian abides. The speed snares of “Messianic Delusions” or dripping drums of “Fields of Meaning” are soaked in the history of machine music, yet they are grander in their delivery and more nuanced in their composition. Fresh territories are explored, the playful solar dreams of “Without Form” or the cinematic grandeur of “In Reverse”.

This album is unmistakable Galaxian, it marks a high-point and brings with it a culmination of intense expression.

"So many songs I want to get in mixes but often they have to be dropped or replaced, due to time constraints or how they fit.  Determined as I am, I've took many of those songs and put them into this mix at last, some old, some new, covering many bases. All crackers in their own way. So happy to finally get some of these in a set. Thanks for asking me to do a mix for you. "

3TH009
The rave machine boiled in from the edge of space is at full tilt and hardwired for collision course, no sleep 'til final impact.

V.A (Ascion, Galaxian, D. Carbone, Lucindo) - Liquid Sessions (Snippets)

Recorded at the live-streamed event "Shifts" by Haku Sungho and Misantrop at KW Institute for Contemporary Art's Pogo Bar on April 30, 2020.
More information and video: https://www.kw-berlin.de/en/pogo-bar-haku-sungho-misantrop-shifts/

Event description:
"Shifts explores innovative ways to perform sound. Using the programming language Max/MSP, Haku Sungho and Misantrop have each developed unique tools for music improvisation.
[...]
Misantrop (Nicolai Vesterkær Krog) is a Danish music/sound artist, DJ, instigator of the Foul-Up label, and half of Berlin’s Force Field event series team. Adding to ongoing interest in presence, Misantrop has been increasingly focused on performativity. During Shifts, Misantrop will be performing using his new tool “Shapeshifter”. In conjunction with a Roland TR-707 drum machine, an array of digital and physical sound sources are triggered, creating a palette of morphing, merging, and juxtaposing sounds. With its queer perspective, “Shapeshifter” adds to an ongoing scrutiny of style-worshipping as an extension of exclusion."

Supervised by Hans Peter Kuhn.

Recording mastered by Tobias Adomat.
