"Those albums that do not age, which never cease to surprise with their innovative freshness, listening after listening, ignoring the years passing by. Heimat's debut album is one of those, which you keep on the shelf or the turntable, like a reassuring fetish object. It is quite legitimate that these two, Armelle and Olivier, proud genius offsprings of Cheveu and the mythical The Dreams, have groped their way forward, without any sense of urgency but relying on their solid live experience, indulging in meticulous experimental research in order to sculpt the worthy successor of their «Heimat» -manifesto. If "Zwei" is inspired by marginal lands that were untouched before them, the production and extensive mastering allow the duo's experiments to cross new borders. Armelle's voice moves away from Germanic influences, digging deeper and further south."
 Full streaming of "Weiss Du" track. Eccentric and enigmatic vocals that feel like they are part of a theatrical performance. Minimalistic forms of industrial with a pop-rock feeling as well as strong references to eastern traditional folk music. A nostalgic casio melody is blooming over the broken-beat rhythms. Weird mix of styles but for sure a delightful sonic experience.

Simas Okas, hidden away in the depths of a murky swamp, is trying to create a new species - a combination of natural and synthetic, capable of adapting and thriving in the harshest conditions. He becomes subject of his own creation and is transformed . . . Chasing down a magical, mystical, non-defined apparition, like a ghost or a shadow, not necessarily evil, but certainly other-worldly. From reeds to smudge, everything's a dream. Much beauty in the swamp, if only you look...

HYLE - OUS039
April 15, 2022; digital

«I create my compositions from a symphonic-orchestral viewpoint, where the sounds are my orchestra, and I arrange them in time and space.» - Noémi Büchi

Noémi Büchi’s first EP for -OUS, ‘Hyle’ is a reference to the ancient greek term for ‘matter’ - which is composed of fire, water, air and earth - and only comes into existence when ‘form’ is attached to it. Balancing between the elements of electroacoustic music, neo-classical composition and sound design, ‘Hyle’ unfolds in three compositions that translate ‘matter’ into music. «We all are matter, and music is matter. My compositions convert personal and collective memories between trauma and joy into music that is rooted in the emotional dimension, but also intends to spark intellectual euphoria», she explains.

Consciously returning to the appreciation of harmony,
Noémi Büchi unfolds its musical potential through chordal combinations and reduced musical intervals. Her pieces are written with a classical understanding of compositional forms, structures and textures, which she translates to experimental electronic music. Just as life can be segmented into layers of knowledge and experience, Noémi Büchi composes in layers: she explores the potential of harmonies and dissonance, contrasts rhythmic figures with disruptive moments and playfully emphasizes irregularities, in order to expand our listening habits and create dense moments and harmonic grandeur alike. ‘Hyle’ is a prelude to her debut album ‘Matter’, which will be released on -OUS in 2022.

Composer and sound artist Noémi Büchi explores electronic and symphonic maximalism. Her music is defined by a delicate blend of electronic-orchestral condensations and textural rhythms. She strives for a combination of harmonic and dissonant sonorities, to evoke both intellectual and emotional euphoria. Her 2019 debut EP ‘Matière’, released through Light of Other Days, attracted widespread attention within the experimental music scene. In 2020, she released a second EP Prismic Passages on the Leipzig-based tape label Visible Dinner. -OUS will be releasing her debut album ‘Matter’ and its prelude ‘Hyle’ in 2022, as well as the debut album of Musique Infinie, a collaboration between Noémi Büchi and Feldermelder.

PITA / FRIEDL - Caciara (excerpt)

From the new album - 'Sound Postcards from the Centre of the Periphery' by Manja Ristić and Mark Vernon.

We made this 13-track journey around the sounds and sonic histories of the island of Korčula. In addition to our own field recordings, we were given access to the audio archives of the local radio station, including recordings of folk customs, traditional songs, dances and music...

This album unites two specific sensibilities that for many years have been embedded in the domain of sound and radio arts. Although they arose from very different environments, their work explores similar issues around preserving personal sonic histories. By stirring up nostalgia and collective memory, both artists often refer to the importance of individual experiences in the poetic "body" of micro-communities. 

The artistic practice of both creators has been deeply immersed in the sonic strata of space and the imaginary narratives that emerge from it. A dedication to the culture of memory, the sounding of lost voices and an unorthodox approach to re-composing the soundscape, conveniently unites these two experimenters in a collaboration that arises from research into one particularly inspiring locality – the island of Korčula. 

In addition to their own field recordings the artists were given access to the audio archives of the local radio station, including sounds of local folk customs, traditional songs, festivities and music. The strong anthropological emphasis in this collection of works is intended to encourage a deeper consideration of the coexistence of people and the environment in a historically dense climate. The appropriation of the hidden narratives of a small town on the fringes of the European Union opens up new fields of reflection on identity that looks back at the "center of the periphery", pointing to the importance of "small" spaces in the creation of European heritage. 

‘Sound postcards from the center of the periphery’ will be stored permanently in the audio archives of Radio Korčula. Who knows, maybe someone will dig them out in 50 years and say: "...there you go! This will make your head ring!" 

Special thanks to Radio Korčula, Gordana Šuperak and Ivan Sardelic Šore. To Pere from the Marasa printing house and to all the fellow citizens of Korčula who found themselves on this album intentionally or accidentally.
