Artist: Beispiel
Album: Muster
Label#: faitiche 26
Format: LP/DL
Release: March 18th 2022

Faitiche proudly presents Beispiel (German for example, also suggests playing together), a joint project by Frank Bretschneider and Jan Jelinek. Muster is their first album. Free electronic music, the result of spontaneous improvisations. 

“Meaning” is a concept that is overused in connection with music. Muster does not call for the same kind of air quotes. With its title, German for patterns/exemplars, Beispiel’s album frees itself from the ballast of teleological semantics. There is no overarching theme, no preparation, no reading list, no reason for this music. Just two facts: Frank Bretschneider and Jan Jelinek have known each other a long time and appreciate each other’s work; and they share a love of modular synthesizers and of experimental set-ups designed to capture surprise. 
Bretschneider and Jelinek got together for their first joint session in 2016 and the years that followed brought more such meetings at Jelinek’s studio for open-ended musical dialog – at irregular intervals and with no clear objective. The improvisations were recorded in two stereo tracks: one track for Bretschneider’s audio, one for Jelinek’s. After each session, the recordings were processed separately, the options essentially limited to cutting and altering the frequency range. The nine pieces for Muster were selected from the resulting material. 
This approach reflects an ideal: music is when you play your first note without knowing what the third or fourth will sound like. When your 290th note still sees you leaving the beaten track, and when curiosity grows as the piece unfolds. Duping is part of Beispiel’s practice. Improvisation is about disagreement. It’s a matter of addressing the right issues. What’s happening here? What’s mine, what’s yours? Are “why” and “where next” legitimate questions? 
Muster is an exemplary work. Nine suggestions for what can be. Nine ideas for possibilities of listening.

Somewhere 2 comes from Slovakian artist Adela Mede, author of the spellbinding tape Szabadság that's easily one of the most astounding things we've heard this year. Guided by the potency of her raw vocals, Adela explores folk tradition through a kaleidoscopic buzz of processed electronics, her ineffable vocals shining through in pure lucidity.

Through this mix, Adela continues her exploration of the voice. Repeating vocals chants feed into haunting moments of dissonance, heightening the innate beauty of the unprocessed song that shimmers beneath.

Scrying the Landscape episode XII w. Elina Tapio and Hannah Pezzack. Roving, cavernous, stretching outwards. Elina Tapio and Hannah Pezzack dedicate the twelfth instalment of 'Scrying the Landscape' to the power of Drone and its adjacent, inspired genres. Composed of sustained notes or tone clusters, Drone is often categorised as “maximal” music because it tests the physical limitations of listeners, producing bodily, meditative or even hallucinatory effects. Within the excessive duration of elongated or repetitive chords, unexpected frequencies can arise as the mind projects utterances that aren’t there. Traversing the realms of psych, folk, dark and experimental variants, this mix oscillates across the spectrum of dronology, towards an endlessly extending vanishing point where sound and music converge.

Anasisana delivers a live set that winds together graceful gradients, lingering melodies and contrasting textures within blending elements and cohesive sounds. Allowing varied patterns to bring a sense of soothing rhythm and a multilayered musical experience in its transitional, boundless slumber, where vague dreaminess flourishes in open spaces.

Amulet 038: Anasisana LIVE @ B7L9

As we find ourselves on the cusp of changing seasons, we’re reminded that everything is cyclical, the inescapable fact of endings is what makes life thrilling in the first place; the construction of one thing is so often preceded by the destruction of another. Perfect timing for this fiery Full Moon in Aries, the youngest sign in the zodiac, and who better to provide the sonic narration to this month’s lunation than Baptist Goth. Their gorgeous incantation casts an intricate web of light and dark, a gorgeous tapestry of found sounds and choral, droney, noisy, emo bliss. Long moments of contemplative calm, interspersed with erratic moments of chaos echo the sentiment that we can always burn it up and start again. Everything is impermanent, so savour this enchanted moment.
