Costest

Last summer I experienced a night of intense and persistent sleep paralysis, with this hallucinating sensation that a very evil force was roaming around me. It embodied in the form of a violent wind rushing in my room to carry me off. As soon as I was going back to sleep, the same scene was starting again and I couldn't fight against it.

I tried to reproduce the sensations I had during this peculiar night through this sound collage piece, which is full of dark ambient, drone and gloomy experimental sounds.

NPVR is the avant garde duo made up of the late Peter Rehberg and Nik Void. Editions Mego is proud to present their second and final release. No this is not some kind of Beatles synthetic AI that raises the dead reconstructed recordings but rather a new album made by the humans and their machines. 

The initial meeting of Rehberg and Void was in London in 2016 and despite or due to their mutual awkwardness found solace and compatibility in the fact that they both had a similar electronic modular set up, along with matching cases to transport all. The idea to collaborate was an obvious and organic process as a means to connect their individual gear together and observe the outcome. The fruits of these initial experiments, recorded in London, resulted in the playful experimentation of their acclaimed 2017 release 33 33 (eMego 251).

Now in 2024 Editions Mego presents the logically titled follow up, 33 34. These sessions were recorded six months after the initial recordings at Peter’s home in Vienna. This was planned out as a mirror city release to the original London recordings. With Peter having access to his full studio set up this time around we encounter a rich audio landscape which organically folds together a variety of musical genres blurring any distinction between these forms so the resulting music hovers as a new cloud of sound. Any musical form, be it industrial, electro-acoustic, ambient, drone and techno all coexist and melt into the other as the ensuing result unveils a hypnotic swarm of divergent sounds (music). When active there were no lines or contexts with NPVR, either between sound or genre within these recordings or live where NPVR were at home playing at a techno club one night and an avant garde venue the next.

The initial session of these recordings was edited by Rehberg and sent to Void to further develop.
Over time the final versions were agreed on and then shelved as other outside projects took over. The awkwardness had been surmounted and the two had become close friends. NPVR performed at a range of venues such as Tresor, Sutton House, Corsica, Blitz, Paris GRM #Focus2, LEV Festival and Rigas Skanumezs Festival. Following Rehberg’s untimely passing Void had difficulty listening back to the sessions but eventually thought it fit to complete and release this album, of which even the artwork (like 33 33, an image from Zurich photographer, Georg Gatsas) had been decided upon prior to Rehberg parting ways. 

There is an unmistakable joy to these recordings. One encounters an enthralling exploration of their chosen machines which conveys the excitement of what can be randomly conjured when people speak through such devices. There is no grand statement or argument here, just the sheer thrill of creation and the recorded results of random encounters. The art of collaboration was always a mainstay of Rehberg’s practice from the advent of the MEGO adventure. Rehberg & Bauer was an initial collaboration with former business partner Ramon Bauer. Even at this stage one can hear a relaxed sense of delight in the sheer discovery of sound.

A mix made for the Wire magazine following the release of 33 33 hints at the freedom that comes with endless urge for exploration and discovery. Abstract tracks from Z'EV. Jérôme Noetinger and Jung An Tagen are included alongside British stalwarts The Fall and New Order. There were no lines between pop / academic / underground or mainstream in Rehberg’s world. All of it sat at the same table. It is just matter in the atmosphere, like the diverse exploration found in these recordings that comprise 33 34.

FLORILEGIO MIXTAPE #20

My name is Manja Ristić, and you are listening to the Framework radio International Women’s Day special.

> https://frameworkradio.net/2024/03/880-2024-03-10/

In this edition you will hear sounds and creators from South Africa, Marocco, Ethiopia, Lebanon, Iran, China, Brazil, Argentina, Mexico, and Columbia; Spain, Greece, Serbia, Croatia, Bosnia, and Slovenia; from UK, Australia, USA, Germany, Italy, and Ireland; with aporee sounds of morning prayer in Ramallah, and bird’s song from Jerusalem – I am taking you for a journey around the Globe presenting the real sonic history of the world, the one told by girls and women. From place to place and from heart to heart, these voices hold the space together, storytelling from the shadows of oppression and discrimination, with wounds inflicted by systematic neglect, poverty, and wars – these authors speak the truth and nothing but the truth.

I am deeply humbled to present works by fierce creators, researchers, mothers, activists, freedom fighters, tribal elders, and one famous nun, life-long expats, and former sex workers; extraordinary versatility, and contemporaneity of their sound, being their common denominator, is what will mark this International Women’s Day Framework mix.
