Philipp Otterbach - The Bench

More than five years since his debut album, sound artist Albert van Abbe now presents NONDUAL on Raster – a contribution so perfectly tailored to the platform that it is hard to conceive it is his first. NONDUAL will be out in February 2022 alongside DUAL, a remarkable collaboration with the label’s co-founder Olaf Bender (Byetone). 

NONDUAL has been inspired by nondualism. The term refers to the recognition that what we essentially are, behind this seeming multiplicity and diversity of objects, others and selves, is a single indivisible reality. With NONDUAL, van Abbe presents the listener with an opportunity to sonically explore this realization. 

The entrance to van Abbe’s nondual universe is a Cellar Closet. And yes, there is a portal deep inside, but it doesn’t lead to any kind of Narnia that C. S. Lewis would recognize. Rather, you’re presented with 14 consecutive landscapes made up of the architecture and infrastructure of yourself, on a nano-mechanical level. Sharp tapping cadences, sudden bursts of acidic noise, deep resonating oscillations – the sounds of the beyond microscopic machinery that makes us all tick. The scenery is wild but never chaotic: blistering rhythmical pulses collide with ethereal ivory harmonies, creating movement and balance, creating us. On this level, it’s plain to see that we’re all the same – in a literal sense. The rest is just a question of magnification and ego. 

Played and exhibited as an audiovisual project in the new ∄ Club Concert Hall in Kiev, Ukraine as well as NXT Museum Amsterdam, NONDUAL is a new live audiovisual performance, a realtime 4K+ flexible visual synthesizer based on Andreas Nicolas Fisher's Supervoid series played in conjunction with the NONDUAL soundtrack. 

NONDUAL was conceived at the Willem Twee Studio in 's-Hertogenbosch, where van Abbe also utilized a grand 'DIY' prepared piano in the adjacent concert hall, extensively sampling Beste Aydin (Nene H). The album was further mixed and engineered with Byetone at Funkhaus in Berlin. Jochem Paap (Speedy J) did the mastering for the album, the first full mastering project outside of his own material at STOOR in Rotterdam. A dream come true for van Abbe.

Recumbence, placidity and all the graceful gradations of the form of appearances - the new Teatre mix for Amulet of Tears is an inherently charged musical theme of its potent coherence. Stealthy blasts - dynamic shin up and back again to the endearment of ponderous notes, the assemblage as remnants of plethora - looking at the entire world and feeling the tremendous correlation between you and everything, until the thrill of tremor conquers the tight rooms. Teatre irradiates in the last compilation ‘Invisible Cities’ on Amulet of Tears as well as in the perception of the label Lux Rec and among others through the absolute form of his own.

система | system presents "Mundane Levitation" by Oksana Hritseva. Oksana Hritseva is a Ukrainian / Odesa-based artist, pianist, and composer. Okasana Hritseva is a well-known music composer for art projects, movies, and documentaries. All the tracks were produced in 2001.
We continue highlighting sound/productions from the beginning of the 2000-s produced in Odessa, which were never published before.

~ “I have always been fascinated by electronic music. As soon as I got my first synthesizer, I immediately started experimenting with sound and liked synthesizing new timbres. There was such an option on Roland jx3p, and I often took part in jam sessions, where my electronic sound brought a unique atmosphere of modern advanced sound, shading and decorating the sound of live instruments. A little later, I completely switched to electronic sound. I was fascinated by ambient, and I was producing tracks in this style. There were also more daring experiments and attempts to create a unique canvas woven from electronic sounds, waves, and noises. In this way, I expressed my inner state and view of reality and tried to show all the aspects of my inner world.
There was an influential cultural gathering in Odessa in the 90s, where I met many artists and media artists with whom I began collaborating as a composer. Olya Kashimbekova and Gleb Katchuk became my co-authors in many audio-visual projects. I liked improvising on the piano, and our joint project, "Flash Royale" became a hallmark of our creative alliance. We first demonstrated it at the "2 Days and 2 Nights of Contemporary Music" festival in Odessa in 2001.
I often arranged piano improvisation evenings on the premises of the Union of Composers of Ukraine, and II liked this format of my implementation. If I needed to write an electronic track, I turned to the recording studio specialists, recording the arrangements on notes.
One day my friend brought an audio cassette containing remixes of my songs created by the Kyiv electronic musician King Imagine. His view of my music struck me, and we met and became friends. During that period, I realized that I needed to make music myself without the help of studio specialists. King Imagine helped me a lot with this. He came to Odessa and let me equip a small studio in my house. The presented tracks refer to that period. For me, it was a breakthrough, I immediately received an order for a soundtrack for a documentary series about a famous traveler, and I had a new wave of inspiration. Odessa, at that time, was seething with creative energy. Many contemporary art exhibitions and concerts, and I have already participated as an electronic composer. I like to write ambient. It reflects my inner world, the depth of my experiences, and my view of reality.” ~ Oksana Hritseva.
