It began as an art project. Inspiration was taken from the sounds of her adventures, in the city, forest and by the seaside. Random elements gave the track structure. We then had the pleasure to invite three artists, each with their own unique sound. Now, the journey of listening is yours.

The Trilogy Tapes - 14th November 2022

Lilly & George—Once I’m in [07.03.2023]

Our latest mixtape comes from Hora Lunga, a composer, sound designer, and songwriter based in Zurich. With a passion for pushing the boundaries of electronic music, Hora Lunga creates a unique blend of traditional and experimental sounds that take listeners on a soulful journey.

Having studied electroacoustic composition, the artist's practice focuses on extended instrumental techniques and improvisation. However, his versatile profile has taken him from pop music productions to experimental works and sound art in recent years. David, as Hora Lunga is also known, co-runs the Swiss experimental music label BlauBlau Records, which is also an artist collective.

Hora Lunga's latest release, Wirren (BlauBlau, 2022), is the product of a collaborative artist residency at Dampfzentrale Berne & Südpol Lucerne, and was premiered at Gessnerallee Zurich. Otherworldly drones and chamber music, feverish free jazz, and serene soundscapes provided by a vast ensemble make it an ode to shared improvisational sessions.

'WIRREN' is passionately described as chamber music for anarchists and social media addicts, sleepwalkers and day thieves, social romantics, and post-structuralists; for those who are drowning in everyday life, for the superstitious and control-obsessed, for everyone who can read a map and for everyone who can't read a map. The music reflects this, with each track taking the listener on a journey through a range of moods, from introspective and contemplative to more joyous territories. Hora Lunga weaves together a tapestry of sound that speaks deeply.

In this mix, Hora Lunga draws inspiration from their latest album, infusing it with their signature style of weaving together a diverse palette of sounds. With acute attention to detail, Hora Lunga creates a sonic landscape that explores the depths of emotion and expression.

Woozy and analogue, the widescreen dreams of Near Stoic make their fuzzy debut on Gated. 

This is an EP that drifts into your consciousness and anchors its hooks there, like a nagging memory you can't quite touch.

Following an outstanding cassette-only album for UK label Third Kind, Skander Ben Yahia's Metamorphosis EP for Gated builds on the Parisian's already impressive palette of sound.

This is music for late night city walks, for mornings after the night before, for drifting to the edge of sleep.

Powerful, emotive, and deeply resonant, this is electronica for the heads.

As you well know, electronic music is so amazing because it is capable of merging with any musical style. Apart from this, you are not subject to particular instruments, so it is not very complicated to evolve and open new paths. Among all the musical fusions and derivations that we have been able to hear in all these years there has always been one (I don't know if I should call it a genre) for which I have had a special weakness, Braindance. Anyone who is influenced by more acidic sounds, syncopated bass, funk drums and nostalgic pads will be deliciously grateful for this new album from FLUCTUOSA _ VODOR L ZECK. In my opinion they are masters in this style. While Fluctuosa honors a very original and refined composition that becomes addictive, Vodor makes use of the iconic 808/606/303 combo to develop delicious funky (sometimes Jazzy) tracks that transport us to the golden era of electronic music

Here we have 80 amazing minutes that we hope you all enjoy.
Remember that when everything turns gray and boring, Braindance has always saved the day.

Vodor L Zeck - RüzgarsSey

'Long pan requiem' is an open duration performance installation for six (or more) singers.

In many ways, the piece is a love letter to heterophony and the human voice. Split into two parts, ‘Long pan requiem’ is a setting of an alphabeticalised list of every syllable used in the ‘Introit’ of the Requiem Mass. Through simple ideas such as repetition, stasis and canon, the music functions like a sonic sculpture in an attempt to grind to a halt, or at other times totally freeze, the development of the music as time unfolds.

The singers are dispersed around a large, open, reverberant space, each facing a different angle rather than collectively directing their sound towards a single point; some face one another, others into walls or the corners of the space, or even outward and away from the rest of the ensemble. Each performer has an almost identical musical part, yet they sing independent of one another, slowly moving through their music at their own pace with each part governed by a unique set of repetitions and minuscule variations. 

The audience is free to walk around this constellation of choral sound, resulting in an ever shifting tapestry of individual voices in amongst the overall glow of the ensemble. This allows the listener to at times be up close an individual performer, with the idiosyncrasies and intricacies of that singer’s voice providing a particular perspective on the music, before moving off back into the crowd as the sound continues to cycle around itself and the space.

This recording is made up of three different audience member’s journeys through the installation, each of whom carried a small microphone to capture their route around the singers, in amongst the movement of people, the drafts coming in from outside, and the sounds of toddlers chasing one another.

Part of the piece - 2 Kinetic studies, made during the residency at the Spatial Sound Institute in Budapest in 2016: https://soundcloud.com/svetlanamaras/sets/2-kinetic-studies

Study no.1 is guided by the principle of symmetry. The central spot of the composition is in the middle of the room - half the way on both horizontal X- and Z-axis. Each object always moves through both halves of at least one of the X- or Z-planes. The element which is being doubled, is followed by the same-pace movement of the element on the opposite side of the axis, but the movement is being reversed: element no.6 positioned on Z-4 goes from X-5 to X+5 while at the same time in the same speed element no.7 at Z+4 goes from X+5 to X-5. 
There are three elements which are the musical nucleus of the composition (1, 2, 3). These sounds are airy (noisy) but they have a recognisable pitch and form a minor triad. All other elements are tuned to these three elements which define the tonal center of the piece. This kind of interpretation of the harmonic aspect of the composition, parallels the interpretation of ‘symmetrical’ in spatial domain. 

This is a stereo mixdown of the piece.
