Juma - Selected Works (Excerpt 2)

Pierre Bastien orchestrates his meccano marionettes on Tinkle Twang ‘n Tootle to form the charming imaginative ensemble that he’s been known for since the late 80s. 

Equal parts composer, inventor, mechanic, and performer - Bastien translates his imagination into instruments and compositions that defy any musical categories. Whether it’s preparing instruments like playing a trumpet underwater or through a kazoo, using belt-driven motors and mechanical components to perform cumbersome yet surprisingly musical operations on traditional instruments and household items, or using a fan to hit the strings of a kundi harp with flowing paper - Bastien’s love for tone, rhythm, noise and harmony is poetically reflected across his quite extensive oeuvre. 

Playful and melancholic, the sound sculptures that Bastien invents and plays with are partly inspired by the work of Raymond Roussel, a visionary French author who at the turn of the 20th century wrote a unique form of literature which inspired and guided artists from the surrealist and pataphysical movement and was declared by Michel Foucault as one of structuralism's founding fathers. On that note, the influence of literature and syntax on Bastien’s work cuts all the way through to the palindromes he uses for his track titles - which, much like his machines, infinitely loop. 

True to it’s adorable title, Tinkle Twang ‘n Tootle is a music box of unfolding whimsical structures, half broken rhythms, detuned harmonies, and fantastical sound collages that evoke a childlike sense of wonder and an urge to explore the spaces in between the sounds.

Out Opaque Wreath

Troth - Valley Of Palms (Undergrowth)

Jordan Christoff is one half of the inspiring and prolific duo PJS (with musical partner Patrick Dique). Here Jordan stretches out with another breathtaking new age document of time and place: a deep listening long-form piece in 2 parts. A true sound explorer, committed to his idiosyncratic vision, he is also engaged in supporting struggles for indigenous emancipation from colonialism, as a resident of Lekwungen territory where this album was made.

Over the last few years Jordan has released on labels worldwide including Leaving Records, No Problema Tapes, Muzan Editions, Plus100 and his recent solo outing on Constellation Tatsu. London's Salmon Universe is excited to be the home for his latest expansive work 'Water'. Water is an apt metaphor for his sound, an ever-flowing evolving amorphous yet still landscape, equally and sensitively represented by the cover artwork of Texas resident Nicholas Law.

Jordan is on a mission to dissolve the barrier between reality and the metaphysical plane. He intends to open the doors of his creative self and let his life force do the talking. His music is like air, but also like water - the connecting viscera of everything.

Original press release text:
Cover Versions – Record-edition and installation by Andrew Pekler

For ten days, the gallery Laura Mars Grp. is transformed into a record shop, complete with records in browser bins, recommendations on the walls and a record shop clerk to assist customers. This record shop, however, only sells one record: Cover Versions by Andrew Pekler, each copy of which is packaged in its own individual album cover. 

Andrew Pekler selected 300 different covers from cheap second-hand records and, using colorful geometric elements to cover over all titles, performer's names, and label logos, removed traces of the covers' original contexts. 

The sunsets, couples in silhouette, alpine panoramas, roses on pianos, faces in close-up, and seascapes no longer serve as the packaging for easy listening, , volksmusik, exotica and light classical. Instead, the romantic, bizarre and intriguingly bland images of the original covers are free to lend their evocative powers to the record of new music they now house. 

Likewise, the principle of collage is audible in Andrew Pekler's compositions. The electronically transformed fragments of audio extracted from the original records take on a new existence as Cover Versions.

Cover Versions is a co-production between Andrew Pekler, Laura Mars Grp., Fantôme Verlag and Senufo Editions.
