SF Broadcasts: "A long array of changed identities brought Jung An Tagen to this distinct territory - by transforming his past aesthetics to a vision of morphing movements between high energy and zero gravity states, this debut release from Jung An Tagen examines polyrythmic, permutating loops with a heavy 93’ acid drift to add and subtract from this moiré figures fragments of musical structures." Feathered Coyote Records: "Feathered Coyote is proud to present the debut album by Virtual Institute Vienna associate Jung An Tagen as a co-production with esteemed Vienna label SFB. The most beat-based Feathered Coyote release yet, we think that this tape is one heck of a mind-melter with its carefully sculpted and ever-changing modular beats and its subtle psychedelic edge. Repetition and change are locked in a trance-inducing dance that will leave you questioning your perception of time."

"H E L L O After-Person" by RM Francis & Jung An Tagen is out now on ETAT.XYZ

"No Longer a Man", "My Cunning Plan", "Out of the Earth" (H E L L O After-Person)

In 1978, at the University of London, the Physicist David T. Kemp made an unusual discovery. Kemp noticed that faint sounds, known as Otoacoustic emissions (OAEs), revealed the existence of the cochlear amplifier, a mechanism responsible for sound sensitivity and frequency resolution. This discovery proved that the ear is an active rather than passive organ. 

Following this discovery the experimental music world embraced these findings by incorporating them into sound works. Maryanne Amacher was a notable early pioneer of this technique resulting in large scale sound works, the likes of which audiences had never encountered prior. Since these early explorations the use of OAEs has spread more widely in the experimental music landscape, notably by Editions Mego artists Florian Hecker and Marcus Schmickler.

“I believe the kick of techno can be an agent to shapeshift sounds and infiltrate settings” - Jung An Tagen 

Stefan Juster aka Jung An Tagen is known for conceptual works and has a large back catalogue of intriguing ideas and sounds. Revenge of the Speaker People is another adventurous release, one which takes the Otoacoustic discoveries of David T. Kemp and applies them to a techno framework. OAEs are fragile and can collapse quickly when combined with other elements. Jung An Tagen’s success in combining OAEs with beats is therefore quite an achievement, without precedent. 

The first CD comprises the  results of Juster’s experiments, resulting in some of the strangest techno committed to digital since the initial burst of the Mego label. A series of head spinning, ear tickling extreme electronic miniatures bleed in a continuous form. This adventurous and playful music would likely have many a raver run to the bathroom. There is a tangible subversive delight in mixing in such sounds to what is ostensibly ‘club music’.

Because the record had this clear divide of beat + otoacoustics the idea came to see how the material would lend itself to a series of remixes. The second CD has remix contributions from a selection of artists from the Editions Mego stable alongside Juster’s own ETAT imprint along with DJ Nervoso from the Príncipe crew. The results are a headspinning variety of Otoacoustic mayhem as the likes of Evol, Thomas Brinkmann, Ellen Phan, Nik Colk Void and others fold these initial bizarre sounds into even more twisted shapes. Revenge of the Speaker People is a daring, playful and audacious release. One that will baffle your ears, neighbours and dancefloor clients.

"Emergent Properties" is out now on https://etat.xyz/

Mastering Cam Deas

Frequency response test: a harsh, buzzing sound, followed by the outbreak of structured chaos, controlled disorder, the decline of patterns, accelerating, slightly varying, sounding my skull, activating the membranes of my ears. “Emergent Properties” investigates the neuroscientific qualities of synthetic sound with musical means. The form chosen: deconstructed, fractured, mathematically inspired. Offering an acoustic tour-de-force, an overstimulated exploration of perceptive processes, Jung An Tagen has chosen a radical experiential approach. He concentrates on the sensible qualities of sound, testing strategies of physical disorientation and forceful sonic phenomena. While the focus lies on the material itself, on elementary grains and their frequencies, durations and intensities, he shifts into the realms of hyper-aesthetics. Singular sine waves and pointed signals, sound points, are being modulated, accumulated to swarm systems, falling apart again, measuring space. I can sense ecstatic, elastic motions inscribed into these abstract, pure sounds. They fall, escalate, stretch, jump and tumble, are organized in periodical rhythms of differing duration, performing glissandi of pitches, micro-movements or gathering in stochastic, scattered clouds of noise. I’m following figures and shapes, sound characters dancing into chaos, dissolving into flux. Sonic entities are disappearing and reappearing again. They group themselves into sequences of stimuli and form interlocked motives and patterns, folding in and out. “Emergent Properties” enters a state where the level of immanence fights the level of virtuality, laying bare an interspace of potentiality. What’s the consciousness of synthetic sound? Sketching out an autopoietic, self-organizing system, reigned over by densities and intensities, Jung An Tagen is offering a possible perspective.
