The opposite of closure is opening. The album CLOSURES fractionally links back to Konspekt by mapping the condition of perception and feeling after the closure (of a certain) phase of life. Even though we’re talking about a concrete phase – the most painful loss so far – the pieces don’t revolve around it at all. What is taking place in the pieces is everything after June 2023.

– “a lively joy (from life)”
– “perceiving the environment”
– “the world is a beautiful place”
– “you are an angel, and angels are not from this world”
– “bridges, layers”
– “connections / circles”

With love,
Richard Hronský

The audio play “Perfect Pattern” by Danish artist Nic Krog weaves a narrative about the dynamics of home life, queer relationships, hygiene practices, routine, ritual, and control. The initial spatial audio work was conceived as the final project of Nic Krog’s Master’s degree for the Sound Studies and Sonic Arts program at Berlin’s Universität der Künste. The distributed version of “Perfect Pattern” is a stereo reformatting of the audio play for compact disc, set for release March 2025 on Nick Klein’s Psychic Liberation imprint. “Perfect Pattern” is the first release under Nic Krog’s own name, after changing from their former artist moniker Misantrop with releases and features on Opal, Foul-Up and Lime Lodge.

Their artistic trajectory is characterized through a diaristic approach, recounting mental processes and psychological baggage from growing up as a queer outlier in a smalltown of Denmark. The work traces the metamorphosis of the colloquial introvert to their negotiation of place in the hedonistic capital of Berlin, Germany. Krog further expands:

"As evidenced on my debut album “Reproaching the Absurd” (Opal, 2021), depression was an enduring battle spanning many years which impeded my overall well-being and stifled my creative output. Around the time of creating the album, however, I gradually overcame depression and simultaneously began casting aside my fear of exposing my vulnerability. My new audio play, “Perfect Pattern”, is my first foray into an overt narrative style, presenting a raw portrayal of a different kind of emotional and psychological self-awareness."

“Perfect Pattern” both extends and diverges from Nic Krog’s distinct and volatile blend of bass-heavy club music juxtaposed with subversive sound art and spoken word, cementing Krog’s fabulous misfitism. Twentieth century experimental compositional music (in particular Edgar Varèse's “Ionisation”), 90s queer house music, and most significantly the storytelling of soap operas and Jean-Luc Godard's “Le Mépris” are the formal canon that reinforces the architecture of “Perfect Pattern”. Further, the collaborative efforts of Dennis Cooper and Peter Rehberg for Gisèle Vienne are a mapping for the rhizome of ideas Krog manifests.

Here Krog steps out from behind the veil of the moniker of Misantrop, while not fully departing sonically or thematically, but blending the old and new, the bored and the blue, with meticulous harmony and routine.

Pre-order digital album — https://serwedx.bandcamp.com/album/v

Continuing in a series of studio albums Serwed present their new release — “V” (Five).
Stylistically, this album further develops the idea of blending aesthetics, operating at the intersection of post-club, downtempo, digital dub, electro-acoustic, neo-classical, score music and musique concrète, creating a unique sonic space.
Catching the subtle nuances of self-reflection, this chamber-like, intimate work is primarily directed toward the subconscious and intuitive perception. The structure and form are driven by emotion, while aesthetics take a back seat, giving way to pure sense.
The compositions capture moments of insight, spontaneity, and live improvisation. Delicate yet expressive, carefree yet precise, “V” is a deeply immersive and personal experience.
