Originally released on Audio. Visuals. Atmosphere. https://audiovisualsatmosphere.com October 5th, 2018 (AVA62, C57, Edition of 55). 

From the original press release: 

A manifold of hypnagogic frames balancing wind, wave and star. Symmetric pearl timbres touch the seams of the three-dimensional world. 

Volcanic sound transcending its temporal limits, only to be found at the rim of the pyramid. As the wheel turns the balance is attached to the crescentic stone and snow-covered ridges. Sustained pitches acknowledge the spectral phenomena carved in chroma rooms. The mesa of the moon drains diffused energy as pastoral currents break the ocean’s vector.

Lichter is the first piece in a new series of electroacoustic dub compositions by Mouse on Mars. It is a massive, lurching, up-tempo percussive epic – a long-haul runaway train that keeps switching tracks without ever losing sight of its destination. Like much of Mouse on Mars’ output, Lichter deftly traverses a varied sonic landscape, encompassing elements of jazz, dub, krautrock juke and psychedelia. 

Lichter incorporates trigger robots built by Sonic Robots’ Moritz Simon Geist and features Andi Toma & Jan St. Werner’s long time collaborator Dodo NKishi on percussion. The basic layers were produced with a feedback software called smrph, and were edited, arranged and used as a foundation for various live and studio improvisations. The 13min track, Lichter, is a concentration of these various layers. Lichter is also a highly visual piece, and performed live it employs a bespoke network of light-bulbs triggered by data derived from the sounds and pulses of the composition.

Andi Toma and Jan St. Werner have been recording and playing live as Mouse on Mars since 1993, and have released over a dozen albums. In 2014 the duo celebrated their 21st birthday with a curated festival at Berlin’s HAU theatres, and an accompanying compilation which showcased the band’s numerous collaborations.

ça ne fait plus danser 
je ne sais même plus sur quel pied 
la journée recommencera demain

je cherche la pièce de puzzle 
pour un tableau qui n’est pas là 
en face de moi 
de mémoire 

quelle inconnue est la plus 
quel imprévu est le plus 
intangible

quelle inconnue est la plus 
quel imprévu est le plus 
intangible

le temps nous montrera 
c’est très souvent que l’on dit ça 
ça fait déjà longtemps longtemps longtemps
je vois clairement 
ces contours flous 
les mots croisés 
qui se donnent sans s’expliquer

elles se vivent les chansons 
les chansons 
substitutions 

quelle inconnue est la plus 
quel imprévu est le plus 
intangible

Œ - Intangible

taken from Simon J Karis 'Piovve' NM039

Simon J Karis returns to Nice Music with Piovve, his first release for the label since 2017’s Madrugada. Following from recent releases for Altered States and Vienna Press, Piovve offers up six tracks demonstrating the development and deepening of Karis’ obliquely emotive approach to electronic murk. Floating on clouds of tape hiss in smeared VHS fidelity, Karis explores a range of formal approaches, from the burbling monophonic synth lines and spoken text of opener ‘Infinite July’ to the four-on-the-floor kickdrum and wistful music-box melodies of half-remembered rave closer ‘Shale Pardon’. In between we’re treated to the drumless motorik propulsion of ‘To Think of You’, which calls to mind Moebius and Beerbohm’s Double Cut in its woozy rhythmic insistence before the mood is hijacked by a distorted devotional vocal sample that abruptly reroutes proceedings from the morose to the ecstatic. The opposite path is travelled in ‘On Ardour’ where jittering synth pads toy with euphoria before descending into pensive gloom. Across these six miniatures – each of which concludes with an abrupt cut to silence – Karis mines a vein where sonic experimentation and emotional reflection meet, crafting something uneasy but ultimately celebratory. -Francis Plagne
