M-G SS25 — EVOLVE

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.

111X ‘Urge’

111X, the elusive prince of noise, returns to Changeless with his latest offering ‘Urge’.

Picking up where ’Shame’ left off, ‘Urge’ depicts the shift from collapse to confrontation, driven by the restless push-and-pull of one’s inner fire and crushing powerlessness. Compulsive resistance in the face of our inevitable fallibility. An ouroboros corporeal battle between necessity and yielding, vigour and weakness, progress and decay.

‘Urge’ is a reinvention of 111X’s signature harsh sonics, meshing it with brooding apocalyptic guitars and ephemeral fragile tranquility, with a familiar relentless weaving pulse at it’s core that’s all the more brutal with each return. The EP opens with ‘Avenge’, where the veil of monumental thrashing of fragmented rhythms slips for a brief moment that’s just long enough to catch a glimpse of the hurt behind it all. ‘Fragments Held Together By Pressure (Forgive)’ slows everything down to a halt, while soft melodies bleed through the noise like a memory echoing as it fades away, becoming more indistinct with every moment.

The EP’s turning point ‘Serrated Edge’ presents us with a completely new side of 111X; a meditative lullaby with bursts of noise that emerge throughout the track, meticulously designed to remain uneasy even in the softest moments. ‘Hunger / Wilt’ closes the record with it’s pounding drums and piercing feedback, before melting into a stunningly beautiful coda leaving us with more hope than when we had diving into ‘Urge’.

Written, produced and mixed by 111X.
Mastered by Nori Kin.
