Schnitz - Studio Session @ Radio 80000 (02.10.2021)

In the last years I slept a lot.

When you want the days to just pass by, Wandering through this state of mind becomes a necessity. This change marks the end and the beginning of a new day. Something to look forward to and hate at the same time?

You say you kind of process what happened the day/s before.
But what do you process when nothing really happened?

The Sound Collages I play try to transport that feeling. I want to trigger key moments that are rooted deep inside our minds with the help of significant sounds / field recordings in combination with mesmerizing melodies. The Listener should be left confused in his ever-changing perception of right & wrong - questioning existance, switching between realities.

Can Your Dream World become Your New Reality?
And Beside That: What is really real?
I slept differently.

Unter dem Pseudonym “Arbeitstitel (AT)” und in Vorbereitung auf ihre gemeinsame Soundinstallation im Lokal der Lothringer 13 wollen Maria Margolina & Jakob Braito musikalische Referenzen aus ihrer aktuellen künstlerischen Recherche vorstellen. Dabei thematisieren sie transliminale Zustände und zeitgenössische Praktiken der Realitätsflucht.

Under the pseudonym “Arbeitstitel (AT)” and in preparation for their corporate sound installation in the pub Lothringer 13 Maria Margolina & Jakob Braito want to show musical references of their ongoing artistic research. For that they pick out transliminal conditions and contemporary methods of escaping reality as the central theme.

You are unable to move or speak until awakening. Your eyes are moving rapid while they are closed. You can experience sounds such as static and zapping noises. You hear voices, whispers and roars. You may feel pressure on your chest and intense pain in your head during an episode. The sensation of entrapment is causing recurring feedback loops.
Listen to an one hour interpretation of a sleep paralysis*

The concept of keeping busy as a coping mechanism is the starting point. The fact that I spontaneously jumped into the OR line-up forced me to play a rather personal set. A set of tracks I could relate to in stressful, overwhelming & melancholic times. Composed in waves of tension and release. Finding peace in familiar melancholic harmonies and strength in the groove.

"dolor y violencia"

Pain and violence are two things that I have picked out as strong topics in Mexican music, the latter due to my family roots in Sinaloa, which is unfortunately known for being one of the birthplaces of drug trafficking. The form in which violence is portrayed in music, is through a genre rooted in the northern states of Mexico called (narco-)corridos/ música norteña. Corridos being usually a storytelling of real or fictional events and in the case of narcocorridos a recreation of stories related to drug trafficking and traffickers.

Regarding pain, my mother would always say that in Mexico "you sing out of pain, when you can not cry anymore" ("también de dolor se canta, cuando llorar no se puede"). This part will be covering the expression of pain in different Mexican genres like cumbia, baladas, trios, banda etc etc

"My main goal, while thinking about this conceptual hour, is to create a warm and cozy atmosphere. Especially in these challenging times we live in, but foremost because it should all be about listening to music within a comfortable surrounding.
Having already witnessed FORUM nights before, i was intrigued by the welcoming and sincere mood they created. Almost felt like home.
The music I selected tries to reflect just that."

The soundtracks of the Final Fantasy game series have accompanied and inspired me, like the games themselves, since my earliest childhood. Framed by electronic music, especially by Japanese producers, different interpretations of the song Besaid Island from Final Fantasy X, one of my favorite pieces, appear again and again in the set.

curvy, Forest Roads followed by a cold straight highway. 
Getting faster and faster without knowing the destination, driving till the sun slowly rises, lost in space and time. dreamworld or harsh reality? 
This mix is contributed to melancholic night rides

Aboutness

A nostalgic journey back to the early 90s. Each beat, like a gentle ripple in time, recalls moments of youthful freedom and discovery—back when life seemed open-ended, and everything was infused with a quiet sense of mystery.
The soft, swirling pads and cosmic sound effects take you back to a time when technology was still a promise of the future, yet simplicity ruled the moments. 
Floating through the past, with no destination, just the comforting, timeless pulse of the music guiding you through memories of an era where connection was found in shared, unspoken experiences and emotions. 
It’s a bittersweet sensation, a mix of longing for the purity of that time and the serene joy of having lived it.

pee bee plays selected music
from the NWW list

The Nurse with Wound list is a list of musicians and bands that was included with Chance Meeting on a Dissecting Table of a Sewing Machine and an Umbrella (1979), the first album by Nurse with Wound.
There are 291 entries on the list. The list was expanded with Nurse with Wound's second album, To the Quiet Men from a Tiny Girl (1980).
The list was compiled by the original Nurse with Wound trio of Steven Stapleton, John Fothergill, and Heman Pathak. 
It was intended as a homage to the artists who influenced the Nurse with Wound project. 
It has since become a type of 'shopping list' for collectors of outsider and avant-garde music.

DOEPKE & KW

In the Listening Model, a set is managed by exploring a parameter space defined by five hyperparameters: n_estimators, max_depth, n_samples, n_random, and n_splits. 
The n_estimators parameter represents the number of unique tracks that can be incorporated into the set, with higher values increasing musical diversity but also adding complexity. 
max_depth controls the maximum duration allowed for transitions between tracks; when set to "None," transitions continue until the end of each track or a specified cutoff, while limiting this parameter allows for a more dynamic flow. 
The n_samples parameter dictates the minimum number of listeners required to initiate a track change, ensuring that transitions only happen when there’s sufficient audience engagement. 
n_random adjusts the randomness in track selection, with higher values introducing more variety and lower values promoting consistency. 
Finally, n_splits sets the minimum enthusiasm level required for a track to be retained in the mix, ensuring that selections resonate with listeners and contribute to a stable, engaging atmosphere. 
This parameterized approach allows the model to deliver a balanced live listening experience that adapts to audience engagement while maintaining variety and flow.
