«The way we approach recording music — starting from an inner and outer void, where there is just acoustical action and reaction — is an attempt to emulate and slow down the fleeting memories that occur during a near death experience. A scintillating recollection that is the essence of who we are, slowed down and enhanced in order to be captured.» - Sara Oswald + Feldermelder

Prolific cellist Sara Oswald and experimental electronic musician Feldermelder present a captivating experience that resembles the suspended timelessness of an embryonic world. The way in which the duo modulate our perception of time, across this EP of three distinct pieces, represents an impressive display of aesthetic power, enabling listeners to experience the here and now in a total, physical engagement, and to travel through endless, transitional states of mind. «Drawn» is a meditation, where process becomes form. 

The first piece ‘Fishes in Histogram Waterfalls’ opens up a time-space where acoustic elements meet electronics; a fragile and organic encounter that nevertheless remains potent and precise. In this Sara Oswald and Feldermelder form resonant clouds of sound that hover and move discreetly. 	

The second piece ‘Volcanic Meditation Walks’ is more rhythmically defined, punctuated by repetitive accents and imbued with an enchanting, longing melody. Interspersed with heavy, phantasmal electronics, the track evokes a surreal passage across a scorched landscape, like a trek at the foot of Mount Etna.

«Drawn» reflects a dislocation of conventional temporality, and with the final piece ‘Short Term Memories’ the duo offer a denouement, where ‘the naked truth of our existence is revealed’, where every moment is again just another shift, another liminal state. Here they embody the perpetual flow of existence, where birth and death form a circle — where the same form never reappears — where every moment is unique. And where memory has its limits, because neither past nor future really exist.

Far far away in the infamous Saint-Etienne Kingdom live and breath Anouar Redjem Cheibane, Guillaume Lamorte & Jacques Satre. The three members of Le Marais surfaced from the gloomy waters of 2020 fall to gather balearic, folk, new age and ambient trance inspirations over an amazing eponymous LP on French Besoins Premiers.

Following the label taste in flowery, poetic music (with Organizatsiya's 'Strane Leoni', Lenny Frings' 'Ontological Outlines' or Modeux des Cieux's 'Constant Run'...), the trio definitely defined its own touch with this 11-track release, made of dreamy synths, autotuned lyrism & spoken words, tremendous electric guitar leads and nebulous sounds, set against an ogre-and-fairy-tales medieval background.

300-vinyl edition to be released during the summer:

This month I have Rock in my pocket. I tried to find for you what people do in 2023 with a voice, a guitar, a bass, a drum... and a lot of inspiration! 


After Eight w/ Aymard (15/12/23)

Label + event series run by otis, Slagwerk operates as a platform primarily focussing on contemporary experimental music and digital art. Besides organizing events, they present themselves as a music label. Their aesthetic ranges from metamodern internetculture to endeavours into spiritual ambiences contaminated with strikingly metallic club environments.

Slagwerk w/ jorbiest @ Kiosk Radio 18.01.2024

I love Fred, and I love Taylor, and we should probably leave her alone. This track is bold and grimey.

Let's talk when we get home
I feel it in my-
I feel it in my bones
I can't even concentrate
Why you trynna conversate
Not trynna talk today
I can't even get you out my mental state
I ain't trynna diss you
But you the issue
Wish that I was lying
When I said I wanna kiss you
Lights, camera, flash
Why you feel like that
You just wanna hide your face
You really hate your past
Yeah, I feel it in my core
I hate when I talk to you baby cause I get bored
Counting my mother fucking cheddar
Yeah my life cannot be better
Playing around with berettas
Yeah we go at whoever
10 racks in my coat
No I am not patient
Talking in my head, helpful conversations

Let's talk when we get home, let's talk
Let's talk, let's talk, let's talk, let's talk
I feel it in my bones, I feel, I feel, I feel
I can't even concentrate
I can't even conversate
Please can we not conversate
Can we not talk today
Jumping out the range, jumping out
I can't even get you out my mental state
Out my, out my, I ain't trynna diss you
But you the issue, it's you, it's you
Wish that I was lying
When I said I-
When I said I didn't-
When I said I do not miss you
Wish that I was lying
Wish that I was lying
When I said I didn't miss you
I wanna kiss you

Jumping out the range
Not trynna conversate
Wish that I was lying
Wish that I was lying
When I said I didn't miss you
Jumping out the range
Not trynna conversate
Wish that I was lying
Wish that I was lying
When I said I didn't miss you
Jumping out the range
Not trynna conversate
Wish that I was lying
Wish that I was lying
When I said I didn't miss you
Jumping out the range
Not trynna conversate
Wish that I was lying
Wish that I was lying
When I said I didn't miss you

"I wanted to make something which reflected a scene of nature, outside of the city, somewhere which has become more and more attractive to be over the last few months... So I made these synthesised percussion sounds to be almost real and wooden, which are weaving in and out across different tempos, playing patterns that are somewhat regular, but always changing slightly. This is meant to be analogous with the dawn chorus, or any scene of nature where lots of different small events are happening, layered, at once... But I only had the dawn chorus, so I recorded that at 4am on Monday morning. These individual bird songs weaving in and out, repeating, different birds joining and leaving throughout. So it's meant to be 3 different sound environments, or imaginary frames of an environment at 3 different moments."
