The project name »A / B« references several aspects of the cooperation: The initials of the artist names Akaroid and BYDL, the distance from A to B and the A and B sides of the tape cassette. The two artists worked in a shared folder in their home studios in Berlin and Vienna without ever meeting or making explanatory phone calls. Each musician brought in his own elements, samples, sound designs and production techniques in order to play in new parts using the ping-pong process, to arrange them or to change the material of the predecessor through manipulation and processing. The sound generation and the sound design took place via analog / digital modular synthesizers as well as in the laptop or via conventional miking of acoustic instruments (percussion). The entire EP is supported by a sense of cooperation and innovative ways not to lose common creativity to isolation, even when contact is prohibited.
The basis of all tracks consists of extractions from field recordings. The ambiences and original notes obtained in this way (mainly from Vienna and Berlin - A / B) were not only processed with effects, but also used via MIDI programming to output beat, melody or harmony. As a result, the recordings fit more organically into the track structure and are supported by the arrangement of those elements that are more familiar to the hearing of the recipients. On the one hand, the title of the track reveals the location of the respective field recordings used in the track and, on the other hand, the one or two-digit number in brackets shows how often the project was sent from A to B before it was finalized, which provides a unique insight into the artists way of production.

BYDL’s first solo EP on Vienna Underground Traxx kicks off 2022 for the label. »22022022« packs four mesmerizing pieces with titles hinting at a dystopianpresent. Between two Ambient / Drone Soundscapes at each end of the EP, we hear a person commenting
on the struggles of modern working conditions via found Dictaphone material on »Interlude: Bewaria«.
With »Crowd Hypnosis« BYDL fuses his dance floor capabilities with large spaces for a galloping Ambient Techno tool.
BYDL has been an active voice in Vienna’s electronic music scene since 2018, leaving his name on many podcasts, radio shows, and releases along the way. The dedicated noise scrambler also runs his own podcast, Nachtigall, where he invites guests to talk about diverse topics within club culture.

For the audiovisual show Fair Use, developed and performed by Nicolussi in 2024, 
obsolete media and abandoned data carriers such as Mini DV, cassettes and Dictaphone tapes were highlighted. Fair Use features an experimental film projection edited and processed from found footage as well as a musical improvisation composed in real time. During the performance the artist is hidden behind a translucent projection surface, blurring the relationship between nostalgia and reality. Fair Use opens a wide range of possible interpretations and questions with borrowed originality, pirating in artistic creation and cautious handling/misuse of sensitive data as central themes. For the EP Fairly Used recordings of rehearsals and live performances were edited and rearranged into complete tracks. The base material was recorded while rehearsing in Vienna and while performing at FLUCC in Vienna and KAPU in Linz. 

Nicolussi performs in numerous projects, composes for theater and film and co-runs the cassette label Epileptic Media. Analog and digital systems of chance, processed field recordings and everyday noises form the basis for his heavily manipulated sound designs.

S+I PREMIERE: Nicolussi - "Fairly Used VI" [Epileptic Media]

"It's Not Over Till You're Under // Ground" is BYDL's debut EP. A collection of tracks which plunge into the depression of 2020 and seek hope where there seems to be no more. Dark synthesizers, distorted guitars and cutting dissonances characterize the INOTYUG EP. The four tracks describe a descent into the deepest feelings of a frayed time, dominated by distance and coldness. Rocking between pounding aggressiveness and gentle calming down – with a climax that addresses the absurdity of human conflict in the most extreme form of war. The EP can be understood as conceptual work that throws around references, codes and hidden meanings, but always remains vague enough to leave room for interpretation. The only thing that is stated as clearly as possible: This is anti-discriminatory music.
