For the second episode of Scene city (@scenecityeu) on Mutant radio, André (aka. Staxl @staxl_andre) presents a bunch of unreleased and fresh stuff from artists and labels based in Leipzig, Germany. He got introduced to the local scene through organizing punk and experimental DIY shows and later on joining PRACHT collective - a club dedicated to discovering as well as supporting innovative/progressive music. In that, they're not being committed to a specific style, but try to trace the uncharted, left-field and engaging strands of culture. Correspondingly, this mix for Scene city displays a wide variety of genres - from electroacustics and computer music through bass music to post-punk and beyond - and encompasses mostly unreleased music, plus some cassette and digital releases and live recordings.

Scene city w. André (Leipzig) [08.01.2022]

came across the file for a mix I did for @a-xioma back in 2016
sometimes it's hard to find enough distance from things you've recorded to be able to appreciate them
but this is so long ago that it feels unrecognizable
somehow connected to so much of what i love now but there's still a disconnection from the person who recorded it
wild trip into the past, trying to shazam some of this back into my memory !

much love to @fru_tto for asking me to participate in this amazing mix series all those years ago. artwork is a draft I made when working on the logo with frutto back then
hope you enjoy this revisit <3

Forest Kelley's debut album, Silt, is the culmination of a decade-long sonic realization of a singular vision: nematoda, annelida, and other abyssal worms inhabiting the aphotic depths, sensing each other without light. Living and cavorting amongst a carpet of compressed dust and organic matter, as unaware of our existence as we are of theirs. To create this 'soundscape ecology', Kelley began developing custom software in 2018. It allows for sounds to function as organisms: to be born, express themselves, change through friction with their world, and then dissipate, transcend, or die. Silt represents a snapshot of this world; the raw material for this particular instance includes guitar-based recordings dating from 2004 in collaboration with Jacob Uretsky. Through Kelley's exacting and intuitive selection of the results, we are presented with an ever-evolving selection of sounds. On their surface perhaps intersecting with ambient dub techno tropes, but Silt draws the listener ever deeper into the zone with its organically shifting textures and events.

Forest Kelley is an artist, electronic musician, and experimental composer based in Lexington, Kentucky. In 2018, he contributed music to the score for the Academy Award-nominated and Criterion Collection-selected documentary 'Hale County This Morning, This Evening ' along with composers Alex Somers and Scott Alario.

Released on May 1st 2022!

Egil Kalman is a Swedish musician/composer primarily playing modular synthesizer and double bass. ”Kingdom of Bells Egil Kalman plays the Synthi 100” is his debut record as a solo artist. 

The record was made during a residency at the Contemporary Music Research Center (KSYME) in Athens in 2019. All the tracks were captured straight from the Synthi 100 as stereo recordings and contain no overdubs. The music showcases both the powerful and raw sound of this rare instrument as well as Kalman’s expansive interests as a musician and composer.  

Mind altering just tuned drones with melodies that echoes traditional Scandinavian folk music flow into abstract soundscapes reminiscent of early electronic music pioneers, but still holds a fresh sound and vibe. Deep synth music from the North! 

Egil Kalman’s playing as a syntheist and double bass player can previously be heard in duos with Zoi Efstathiou and Fredrik Rasten as well as in groups such as Miman, Marthe Lea Band and Alasdair Roberts & Völvur.  

His music aims to dissolve the brittle barriers separating traditional Scandinavian folk- and contemporary electroacoustic music via minimalist compositional techniques and soulful improvisations. Utilizing just intonation tunings, hypnotic forms, synthesized sound mimicking the acoustic and vice versa, his music explores qualities intrinsic to traditional Scandinavian folk music in ways where the musical foundation is felt rather than explicitly heard. Kalman can previously be heard in duos with Zoi Efstathiou and Fredrik Rasten as well as in groups such as Miman, Marthe Lea Band and Alasdair Roberts & Völvur.  

The record was mastered by Rashad Becker and the artwork is made by Allon Kaye.
