"Klangturm" was commissioned by the Immanuelkirche church in Hamburg-Veddel. The church had recently replaced its bells with a loudspeaker and automated playback system and had asked a number of artists to compose music to be played hourly as well as shorter sounds to be played 15, 30 and 45 minutes past the hour. 

Thinking about what sounds have bell-like properties (but aren't bells) and taking into consideration the technical limitations of the bell tower's loudspeaker (mono, limited bass and high frequency), I decided to work with a limited pallet of just electric guitar and a few effects pedals (reverb, tremolo, pitch shifter, envelope). 

Each piece at the full hour is "previewed" by short fragments of its component parts at the preceding 15, 30 and 45 minute mark. Some, but not all, of the pieces include a time-telling element; a melody with the same number of notes as the hour. 

These pieces were played back from the bell tower of the church from 8 AM to 8 PM every day (except Mondays) during July 2021.

8:00 PM (excerpt from "Klangturm")

Sanely deforming my remembrance
From which I leap to life again
 I walk into waves, they don't cover me
But I know the sea the same way
 Not knowing the air that smothers
As if the wind only blows for the waves
And the vital fluid smells only like blood.

For the forgetful, insensible onlooker, silence will indicate peace, acceptance, even dullness. The inner truth will not be revealed to this observer. This learned silence has grown watered by absence of compassion - an armor of thorns to protect from a feelingless environment. There is no doubt: one day the truth, enriched by sorrow and ornamented in grace, will burst out of their chest. It is only a question of whether the screams will be heard.

The debut LP of Reece Thomas, formerly known as Alocasia Garden, is a highly personal and bravely revealing story titled 'Dysphoria'. The seven songs candidly express inner forces tearing one apart; a harsh struggle of dissonance and harmony weaves into a beautiful, yet anguished, whole.

Dysphoria

Reece Thomas - Without the fear of proof

From yolabmi's Before Your Past Lives, out on Nov.25 on tape and digital:
https://muzaneditions.bandcamp.com/album/before-your-past-lives

"A longtime friend of Muzan, yolabmi's Before Your Past Lives pulls the listener into prehistory (or perhaps pre-existence) with a suite of tracks structured around gently vibrating synths, crisp field recordings, and expertly manipulated samples that fizz and crackle and whirr in rich stereo. Secure your headphones, close your eyes, and think back to before there was a before."

Potato knishes
Potato knishes
I love potato knishes
This machine creates potato knishes
This is where I make potato knishes
The magic and the mystery of potato knishes
Little black squash balls
This machine creates little black squash balls
It turns potato pancakes into little black squash balls
This is where I make centipedes
I sure love to make centipedes
I turn little black worms into centipedes
I turn little black worms into centipedes

Music For A Lonely Moon

Every so often, the Amulet reveals something rare, akin to a pearl or a secret. Today it presents BODYXVIII, an artist based in Melbourne, active in the fields of electronic music and sound collage since 2018. The Australian musician's work spans a deep spectrum across techno pulsations to ambient shimmers, all unified by overarching textures as well as attention to completeness and intermixture. Being no exception, the mix was woven together with original sound collages and field recordings. The artist shares it as a token of his own sonic headspace in the present day.

From the label:

With "19 Strings" Geräuschmanufaktur presents a new release by the Copenhagen resident artist and musician Paw Grabowski, the man behind øjeRum.

19 quiet, almost fragile-sounding strings resonate into a poetic soundscape and slowly increase to a hypnotizing, expressive and droning ambient piece. The result reveals both rousing and enraptured moments that lure every listener to immerse themselves into the piece's isolated melancholy nature.
