A Compilation of Minimal Wave From Around The World (1980-1991), The Bedroom Tapes features rare, unreleased, and licensed tracks all the way from Belgium to Australia to Japan. The Bedroom Tapes excitedly marks Minimal Wave’s 66th release and is a follow up in the series to The Lost Tapes, The Found Tapes, The Hidden Tapes and of course The Minimal Wave Tapes. The twelve artists on this compilation mostly recorded their music onto 4-track tape in their bedroom studios. The sounds on this record range from German new wave to experimental electronic, to early industrial body music from the Swedish countryside, to dreary melodic minimal synth. The theme is music recorded in the bedroom for listening in the bedroom. The Bedroom Tapes presents songs from Pink Elln, Karen Marks, Disque Omo, Vorgruppe, Iham/Echo, Perfect Mother, Arvid Tuba, Subject, Denial, Unovidual, Aural indifference, and Autumn all lovingly remastered. Limited edition of 999 numbered copies, pressed on 180 gram vinyl, and housed in heavy printed jacket accompanied by printed inner jacket with artists photos and info. Thank you to all the artists and friends for support in making this happen. Vinyl LP release out now, digital to follow.

V/A The Bedroom Tapes

Arvid Tuba "The Seasons Are Sitting On Chairs" from V/A The Bedroom Tapes

"Gefährliche Orte" or dangerous areas is a term the German police applies to specific spaces, in order to legitimise the means to prevent "potential danger". It serves as a limited state of emergency, allowing police to use unconstitutional practices such as racial profiling, to control drug trafficking, sex work or migration.

To 1115, "gefährliche orte" serves as an allegory for specific moments in our improvisations, in which a structure begins to take shape, but is not yet fully realised. It is the tipping point (the roots) at which a drugdealer may turn into a political agitator. It is that moment of dislocation when two subjects share their ideas and an unruly third option unfolds, which neither agents could have foreseen.

As exemplified above, in retrospect, "gefährliche orte" are rationalised and uncertain or vague moments often become strategic points. But how do we describe vagueness? How do we record and represent it?

On this tape, we mixed vague and uncertain moments from our post-europe live improvisations in a two part dj-set, thus creating new unfamiliarities and obscurities.
