This is an extremely slowed version of the song. And yes the cover is relevant. Try to figure it out. You won't.

Lady Gaga, you once said in an interview that you write music for the fashion industry. Is fashion as important to you as music?

Artist/Album: Jan Jelinek presents Zwischen
Format: LP Vinyl/DL
Label#: faitiche17
Release date: May 4th 2018

Faitiche is delighted to release a short version of the radio play Zwischen (German for ‘between’). Devised and produced by Jan Jelinek for German public broadcaster SWR2, Zwischen brings together twelve sound poetry collages using interview answers by public figures. Each collage consists of the brief moments between the spoken words: silences, pauses for breath and hesitations in which the interviewees utter non-semantic sound particles. These voice collages also control a synthesizer, creating electronic sounds that overlay and merge with the voices to make twelve acoustic structures.

We all know the speaker’s fate: you falter, you mispronounce, there are breaks, silences and false starts. This results in delays, a language noise compared by Roland Barthes to the knocks made by a malfunctioning motor. Such gaps can be disconcerting, standing as they do for a failure of the speaker’s rhetorical skills. But what happens when they become a constitutive, poetic factor?

Zwischen consists of twelve answers to twelve questions. The answers were all recorded in interview situations. From the speech of the interviewees – all eloquent public figures – the pauses are extracted and edited together. The result is a series of sound collages of silence. But this silence is deceptive, as it is only meaning that falls silent. What remains audible is an archaic body language: modes of breathing, planning phases, seething word particles in search of sense that can break out into onomatopoeic tumult or drift off into sonorous noise.

In a further step, each of the twelve collages controls a modular synthesizer via its amplitude and frequency. Supposedly defective speech acts conduct synthetic sounds and the speakers regain their composure – not via the spoken word, but through sound.

The opening questions in the various interviews are answered by: Alice Schwarzer, John Cage, Hubert Fichte, Slavoj Žižek, Joseph Beuys, Lady Gaga, Ernst Jandl, Karlheinz Stockhausen, Marcel Duchamp, Friederike Mayröcker, Yoko Ono and Max Ernst.

Takuroku has been supporting new work by artists made during lock-down, but now and again we’ll be releasing lost archival gems that we feel need to be heard. This is one of the latter: A fiery session between two key players in OTO’s international community, featuring Denmark’s Julie Kjaer (saxophone) and Thurston Moore (guitar), recorded at neighbouring experimental music hub The Hundred Years Gallery.

Fans of Rudolph Grey/Arthur Doyle and Kaoru Abe/Masayuki Takayanagi explosive symbiosis will relish here in Julie & Thurstons’ bellied roars, tonal dips and dives and thick sheets of sound. Ecstatic spiritual crescendos emerge and collapse, but during which never lose their sense of focus and imaginative interplay. Here’s hoping this duo can play again once things are back to normal (whenever that maybe be).

50% of OTO’s share of the proceeds of this release will be passed to Hundred Years Gallery. Please support their great work in the experimental music community.

New Life Music

TR062 - Thurston Moore & Julie Kjaer - 'New Life Music' [sample]

Nicolas Wiese creates works in a wide range of formats and media, for various contexts: installation and spatial performance, contemporary electronic composition, relational and improvised music, graphic art, drawing, collage, radio and experimental film. His work testifies to a strong interest in the deconstruction and reconstruction of found images / found sound / quotations from mass media and everyday life – centring on themes of ambiguous perception, contradiction and the suggestive use of images, of mediated communication. Speech, the written word, architecture, complex abstraction and refraction of nostalgia all play important roles in Wiese’s aesthetic output. His stop-motion collage video techniques give rise to pieces rich in detail and layers, which play with opacity and transparency, and often with the perception of time.
In his sound works and electroacoustic compositions, Wiese primarily uses short fragments of acoustic source recordings, which are then collaged, layered and processed to different degrees of recognition. These techniques, following the Musique Concrète tradition, are augmented by the adept use of sample-triggered polyphonic feedback modulation and great attention to crafting a highly spatial listening experience.

Nicolas Wiese - Nemishenasamash

Masayoshi Fujita is a Japanese vibraphonist and composer based in Berlin. Masayoshi first learned how to play the drums, followed by extensive vibraphone training to craft and play his own compositions.

Determined not to stick to traditional vibraphone styles or techniques and theory of composition, he seeks his own sound of vibraphone and new possibility of it. Masayoshi also prepares his instrument with strings of bead, strips of foil and similar objects. The resulting new sounds, akin to distortions, help to expand the vibraphone spectrum without eroding the instrument’s intrinsic character or even abandoning it altogether.

Inspired by the silence and deepness of the fog, the mountains and the gravity within, His music evokes images, atmospheres, sceneries and stories in the listener, the images that have accumulated in himself. At the same time he explores the unexplored beauty of the vibraphone, and pursues the charm of the instrumentation 
and the music itself.

Under his electronic solo project alias, el fog, Masayoshi combines the vibraphone and analogue/digital electronic sound and textured noises using divers experimental methods.

His recent collaboration with German electronic musician Jan Jelinek received a lot of attention from experimental music fans around the world
