PLOY defies attribution to a single genre and places artistic-creative freedom in musical expression above a culture of flawless, "clean" productions.
Max Plattner draws on elements from jazz, electronic and new music, as well as rock and hip-hop, creating an emotionally charged sound that leaves plenty of room for improvisational moments. The boundaries of rhythm and harmony are consciously explored and atmospheric spaces are created.
This marks a break with the musical standards of recent years. At a time when more and more artists* are trying to conform to a certain genre or sound, Plattner's new album sets an example for artistic freedom and individuality.

Austrian jazz drummer Max Plattner is known for his melodic, expressive and dynamic playing on the drums. With PLOY he manages to interpret music in a new way and proves that interesting and innovative sound carpets can be woven far away from the usual standards. The result is a stylistically unusual and multifaceted album, which will be released on March 17 by the Viennese label "Sessionwork Records". (www.sessionworkrecords.com)

CHOP SUEY (OSIVE x THNK PNK EDIT) *pitched

scjöm is a sonic bridge between the source and the now, a journey through time and deceleration. The essence of the track lies in sound experiments with different sources, played back in different spaces, modulated and suspended.
The sound unfolds quietly and slowly, inviting us to immerse ourselves in the sound and float. scjöm is a contemplative exploration of resonance and space, a soundscape that gently carries us and stretches the moment.

Intone

The Spinachi Incident (Album: Intone, 2012)

‘Implode'xplode' ist a homage to the threshold between the inner and the outer world. It is about the daily dance with the inputs and outputs of information. The awareness when it’s time to hold space for yourself to prevent implosions or when to celebrate and embody the explosions fully.
With this song, Elena reminds oneself of the capacity of our own body and the recognition of its warning signals, that show up when its too much.
In the society we are living in, quantity and speed took over and overstimulation turned into a norm.
“Through my tendency of overdoing it with work and tight schedules, that song kind of came out naturally, when I needed it the most.
'Implode'xplode' is not only a timeless reminder to care and listen to my body more but it also encourages me to fully embrace the explosions when they come in
and channel it into music, dance or any other type of creation with full power."
