title track from new album available on bandcamp: https://stefanstrasser.bandcamp.com/album/n-dutgang

"nødutgang" unveils an atmospheric odyssey through ambient electronics and percussion, a collaborative creation by stephan bartsch, stefan schmidt and stefan strasser. recorded live, the album captures the fluidity of bartsch's percussion, the ethereal electronic landscapes shaped by schmidt, and the later overdubbed electronic textures of stefan strasser. the seamless blend of unconventional percussion and synthetic elements invites the listener into a transcendental sonic realm. this collaborative effort, marred only by the unintentional omission of stefan strasser's live session contributions, stands as a testament to their ability to navigate unexpected turns and create a truly immersive musical experience.

Naviar Broadcast #337 - I write, erase, rewrite – Wednesday 18th September 2024

Created in response to:

Year's end,
all corners
of this floating world, swept.

Naviar Haiku challenge 573, challenge details here: https://www.naviarrecords.com/haiku-music-challenge

The haiku more or less said it all for this one, so yes a bit obvious but had to be done. I knew I was going to start and end with collages of samples so created sequenced elements and some semi-random pings in virtual modular using VCV Rack. As usual I set up multi-track recording and physical controls then recorded a live one take improvisation. 

I then added the sampled elements, initially the New Year midnight chimes, these are my own recording. The bell as recorded didn't fit the final mis so I pitched it down a couple of semitones.

All the other samples are from Freesound:

où en sommes nous ?

Electronic music visionary Pye Corner Audio, a master of blending nostalgia with forward-thinking production, has carved out a unique niche in the electronic music landscape. Drawing inspiration from 1970s and 80s synthesizer music, and cinematic soundtracks, his work often evokes a sense of eerie futurism.

Lapsus Records is proud to present Where Things Are Hollow: No Tomorrow, a comprehensive box set revisiting and expanding his acclaimed Where Things Are Hollow series. This release includes the first two volumes—with Volume 2 featuring an unreleased track—and two additional chapters that further enrich the series’ narrative. Once again, Pye Corner Audio delivers innovative soundscapes, drawing inspiration from ambient techno, foggy electronica, and experimental slow disco.

The third installment unveils a constellation of entirely new tracks, weaving the ambient, synthwave, and retro-futuristic textures that define Jenkins' work. Meanwhile, Where Things Are Hollow 4 amplifies this universe, incorporating reinterpretations by some of today’s most visionary artists: Alessandro Cortini, Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith, Lord Of The Isles, and Surgeons Girl, alongside the popular 2020 John Talabot remix of "Resist".

As with previous entries, the visual identity of Where Things Are Hollow: No Tomorrow is a striking collaboration between Basora Studio and renowned illustrator Alex Trochut, offering a visual counterpart to the series' otherworldly audio.

With all tracks remastered for the occasion, Where Things Are Hollow: No Tomorrow is a testament to Jenkins' enduring influence and creative evolution, cementing Pye Corner Audio as a key figure in modern electronic music. 

Written and produced by Martin Jenkins.
Additional production and reinterpretations: A1 by Alessandro Cortini, A2 by Neil McDonald, B1 by Oriol Riverola, B2 by Sinead McMillan, and B3 by Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith.
