SAMUEL SAVENBERG • UNSUNG • PE-031

S S S S

Walls, Corridors, Baffles is the debut album of Swiss musician and producer Samuel Savenberg aka S S S S. Following various releases on Haunter Records, aufnahme+wiedergabe, and LUX Records, Savenberg the LP tries to find an approach to an artistic expression beyond tropes of darkness, harshness and excess. 

Thus, the aesthetic of Walls, Corridors, Baffles is radically and uncompromisingly sober. Instead of focusing on a conceptual or symbolic treatment of sound as an abstraction, Savenberg emphasizes its materiality. The album consists of eight pieces strung together into a manifesto which calls for a febrile embrace of an unheard-of, intense sobriety.

In Walls, Corridors, Baffles, unadulterated percussive force meets an astoundingly precise and frugal vocabulary of electroacoustic sounds, as for example on the opener “Deserter”. Passages extended over long melodies invite the listener to lose oneself in the contrastive emptiness. Central to the work are the affective qualities of the music which lapses only at moments into a more defined emotional quality – as on the final track “Nothing But the Circulation of Air”. 

The cover was designed by the Berlin-based artist Han Le Han. The artwork was inspired by the Japanese tradition of Ikebana, a practice of arranging flowers that allows for the interleaving of sobriety and intensity explored in Walls, Corridors, Baffles, which also is referenced in the quotation from Roland Barthes that serves as the album title.

Down we go together

Unsung is Samuel Savenberg’s (@gewissheit) first Album under his given name. Consisting of eight tracks, the LP provides a listening experience that is not a straightforward continuation of his previous Album Walls, Corridors, Baffles released on Präsens Editionen in 2019 under his S S S S moniker. Savenberg’s emphasis on fast dynamics, ever building tension and climaxes, the array of harsh kicks and industrial techno motives – it’s all gone. What remains is his detailed and structural approach to composition.

Unsung makes use of a variety of instruments to slowly build up sequences and melodies, interspersed with distortions and deviations. Strangely accessible in its alteration between vastness and intimacy, Unsung may be Savenberg’s most inviting project to date. It finds solace beyond the anger and despair, found on previous S S S S projects, in occasional and loose moments of euphoria and redemption. 

The music on the album is accompanied by a digital booklet with lyrics written by various authors such as Flora Yin Wong, Rainy Miller, and Rolf Laureijs. 

Unsung is available to stream and download.

A Tunnel Of Dense Fog

Forever is in multiplicity and mutation. Musician and visual artist Nicola Tirabasso (VISIO), together with Haunter founders Daniele Guerrini and Francesco Birsa Alessandri called for a collective effort in order to celebrate these elements of experience. In opposition to linear notions of time itself. An attempt to let perceptions of future and past bleed together, to establish every moment as an infinite process of consumption and re-generation. A compilation of 33 artists, each contributing in their own peculiar style, adding their own blends to the palette and exposing the lineage of their work. It is precisely to state that the perennial immanence of difference is what constitutes the basis for true unity, that the curators have grouped an utterly diverse cast of contributors, whose output strikes a vastity of moods and textures, and grows out of very distinct intentionalities and backgrounds. Making kin without borders, letting mutual support evolve into a chimeric infinity.

S S S S - Dualistic Dead Ends

"The Brvtalist is pleased to premiere S S S S’ remix of Jungstötter’s “To Be Someone Else”. One of independent music’s most buzzed about artists, Germany’s Jungstötter released his debut record LOVE IS (PIAS) this past Spring to various critical acclaim and fanfare alike. The record fuses a beautiful mix of romance, pop, post-punk and more and now we see Swiss multi-faceted producer S S S S craft a striking re-interpretation of one of the most powerful tracks on the release. A true journey, the track takes your through broken rhythms, moody atmospheres and beyond."

Jungstötter - To Be Someone Else (S S S S Remix)

"Fans of rhythmic industrial abuse can rejoice as we've added Swiss producer Samuel Savenberg, aka S S S S, to the Chondritic family. S S S S churns out his own unique blend of high and low tech sounds, atmospheres built delicately and with intent, factory beats pound out at a snails pace, sometimes speeding up only to be shaken apart, crunched into nothing and strewn about the field. Truncated clicks, ghastly whirrs, distant crashes, thudding kicks pile over haunted electronics."

Exit Strategy

Booking agency and clothing brand, Orden, launches its first release, Excess of Signs and Meaning by Swiss musician/producer, S S S S.

Excess is the tenth release by Samuel Savenberg who is also known for his work in Die Selektion and Dillon. The record contains four tracks loosely based on material he has been using for his more club-oriented live sets in recent times. The EP contains heavy yet playfully arranged rhythmic patterns accompanied by several variations of Industrial elements.

The title Excess of Signs and Meaning can be seen as a comment on how nowadays Music and Popular culture tries to load itself with Semiotics and Statements seemingly in fear of losing importance.

The Brvtalist is delighted to premiere “Abscissus”, a word which takes its roots from Latin “abscissa” which means to cut off, or to separate.

This second track reflects upon this loss of meaning and loss of understanding about what is important and what is not. This confusion is very well represented through the irregular and deconstructed, or even fragmented patterns we hear at the beginning. So, one can wonder: if everything means something, nothing means anything.

Out April 17th on digital format. More at: www.thebrvtalist.com/ssssabscissus/

"To celebrate the 10th anniversary of our Krake Festival, we have compiled this compilation of tracks by artists who played for us over the last 10 years and from labels who have donated for our raffle. It would have been too much to ask all of the artists we love, so we have come up with this selection. One third of the tracks have been previously released, but the majority has never seen daylight before and is exclusive to this release. There was no limit in style or genre and so compilation is as diverse as our festival, crossing over from ambient/drone to industrial techno, from techno to wave.

All buyers will automatically take part in our charity raffle/tombola with great prizes by numerous record labels and tech partners. Each purchase will be treated as one lot, so the more copies you buy the more chances you have to win! (nudge nudge)
The profit of this compilation will be donated 50% to Seawatch and 50% to the inclusive project Ick Mach Welle, which teaches people with learning disabilities how to make electronic music."

In 2014 the Swiss musician and producer Samuel Savenberg released his first EP under the moniker S S S S. His music can be called techno only as a last resort. It has appeared on Haunter Records, aufnahme+wiedergabe, and LUX Records consistently defying clear-cut classification. Tracks propelled forward by industrial and broken beats find themselves alongside (dis)quiet pieces based on melodies.
