“Music for violin, cello, clarinet and electric guitar” is Poma's international debut full length release and is released on the MOOZAK special interest sublabel KAZOOM.

Limited to 50 hand-numbered copies, this KAZOOM release comes on double sided black graphite discs in hand painted digipacks.

The official release presentation will take place on May 25th, 2011 at the Fluc in Vienna, featuring a live concert by Poma, with musical support by the musicians from Le Cowboy (Meaghan Burke, David Schweighart, Bernd Klug). Furthermore Poma and Le Cowboy will join forces in an improvised musical confrontation after the two main concerts. 

Poma is a project born from the idea of using free improvisation within a composed context. Thus, the musicians immerse themselves in improvisation which occurs within pre-established structures or even together with previously composed music. The essential principle being to set as few restrictions as possible on the performers.

ASTMA feat. Anton Nikkilä - DOM Sessions / Album Promo Snippets

Line-up: 
Ayankoko: ppooll on Max/MSP
Mathieu Garrouste: electronics, tapes
Gerri Jäger: drums, percussion, electronics

A very contemporary ambient noise music akin to noise / shouting, where irritating bursts meet devastated post-industrial landscapes, in which a human hand can sometimes be felt… Laptop and turntable improvisations inspired by digital noise, rather than analog synths, it’s not electronic music, but sounds based on an interruption.
A bandwith of a hail of information, encoded and compressed, made audible and manipulated, but very similar to the original signal, information encoded by protocols we are unable to understand, without an appropriate interface, so it’s better to play with them and feel them.

Recorded at STEIM Amsterdam on the 23rd/24th of october 2012

JUAN ANTONIO NIETO - IMPERFECT
Cat. No. MZK#011
Limited edition of 100 copies
Release Date: 30.11.2016
Tape with custom handmade cardboard cover

The beauty of errors, asymmetry and imperfection are the defining features of "Imperfect", the latest release by Spanish sound artist Juan Antonio Nieto on the Viennese label Moozak. Often discarded or corrected, digital errors represent an inexhaustible source of sounds and unique and unrepeatable structures.

"Imperfect" is an orderly chaos, a collection of reworked improvisations, in which some very obvious and other almost imperceptible errors give the work an essentially non-repeatable character.
In these highly abstract digital compositions structures of crystalline sharpness and rough Lo-Fi noise are contrasted - occasionally supplemented by Drones, which evoke a vague reminder of harmony. Filled with buzzing, crackling, sizzling and hissing sounds Imperfect sketches sceneries that do not suggest a natural origin, but evoke a credible alternative reality through their complexity  - like a glitch anti-world that exists beyond our familiar environment and which we allow to break through into our domain in order to fill the space around us for 46 minutes.

Suspended In A Vortex In The Middle Of A Bowl From Tibet - Preview 2/2

Suspended In A Vortex In The Middle Of A Bowl From Tibet - Preview 1/2

Marc Chia's approach to this piece of work has been an ongoing sonic investigation - fusing influences from the oriental to the occidental to the outer limits and beyond - into the creation of psychological states of suspension through the act of listening to a piece of music. The result is a mystical non-linear journey which takes the listener (for a moment or more) to different mental states before drawing them back into the unreality of reality.

Suspended In A Vortex In The Middle Of A Bowl From Tibet / When I Was Young I Was Easily Amused, But Now It Is All, The Same. And The Same... is especially composed for the medium itself. Each piece can be assumed to continue where the other left off, but it requires also a moment of silence, which - in this case - comes from the simple physical phenomenon of reaching the end of the disc, and having no other choice but to get up and physically flip the disc to continue.

Marc Chiaʼs work was best described by Portuguese avant-garde collective Soopa after a concert in Porto as a performance that transmitted a deep narrative feeling of geopolitical disenchantment, ingrained into dark textures. This disenchantment exists not only on a purely narrative level, it is exorcised by the use of every part of his body, including sounds produced by the intended or accidental gestures (picked up by several self-built piezo contact microphones) and physical actions. Everything is technology by making anything and everything potentially an instrument.

With a constant sensitivity to the surroundings during his breathtaking live-performances, which are a profound and cohesive mix between computer music, performance art and improvisation, Marc Chia states an explicit expression against the prefabrication of culture. He captures his audiences worldwide by bringing to the foreground what was already pre-existing but unrecognized.

Tattered Kaylor - biography

Tessa Elieff's work stems from her fascination with our sonic environment. Her live performance explores relationships between sound, space, time and perception via processed field recordings and multi-speaker systems in custom surround sound formations. Methods utilized in her work draw on concepts of the Acousmonium, with favoured tools for sculpting sounds including architectural cavities (manmade and natural), sonic/spatial memory, concrete, steel, stone and controlled systems of diffusion.

As a curator, Tessa has directed and organised a number of events dedicated to Sound and New Media Art. These events have included collaborative works between professional and emerging Australian Sound Artists, live acousmatic concerts, New Media Art showcases, master-class workshops and temporary inner city workspace sound studios.
In 2011 Tessa received the Inhabit International Residency from Punctum Arts and Arts Victoria, to work and research at the "Abbaye de Noirlac" (France) (http://www.abbayedenoirlac.com/). In 2010 she received the Seed Pod sponsorship and Live Arts Incubator from Punctum Arts, whilst also being invited to direct and curate for Australia's esteemed Sound Arts Festival, 'Liquid Architecture' (http://www.liquidarchitecture.org.au).
