Pan Daijing - Jade 玉观音
Format: LP / DL
Cat.No. PAN 113
Release Date: 4 June 2021
Purchase: pan.lnk.to/Jade

What if a song was not a culmination but a singe, an imprint, or a crater left in the wake of creative process? On her new record “Jade”, Pan Daijing composes at a different scale than that we’ve come to know. Since the release of her groundbreaking LP “Lack” in 2017, Daijing has expanded her operatic vision into a series of major commissioned exhibition-performances at institutions including the Tate Modern, Martin Gropius Bau, and the Haus der Kulturen der Welt. Developed for full casts of opera singers and dancers, and reaching for an all-encompassing durational experience of intensity for both performer and audience, the development of these works was for Daijing as emotionally disarming as it was thrilling. In order to continue accessing her own limits, Daijing had to develop a place of sanctuary within her own practice.

Its nine tracks written and recorded over the last three years, “Jade” is the sound of solitary release and refuge, of creative self-sustenance. Written without the imperatives of direct address to performers or audience, “Jade” speaks inward, while inviting a kind of rhetorical listening. The artist draws on materials familiar from her previous work: namely, ascetic electronic textures that rumble and pierce, and voice bent in irreverent directions. In place of catharsis, however, her arrangements here linger in tension, extending curiosity towards the delicate void that nourishes extremes. They toy with the minor capacities of song: repetition, chant, observations that conclude without resolving.

“Jade” comes from a vulnerable place, tender as in an undressed wound caught in the midst of healing over. Vocals, mostly Daijing’s own, arrive as wordless sequences of notes soaring alongside a drone, or plain laughter, or in a few places spoken word. What is said or sung provides fragments of experience and reflection. In the process of piecing together these fragments, the listener is confronted with the tender parts of her own. “Solitude is like an immense lake you’re swimming through,” says Daijing of these songs. “Sometimes you dip your head in and sometimes you lift it above. On album centerpiece “Let,” she speaks to us over the sound of rippling water, returning between anxious scenes to a refrain: “I take my bath in the ocean.” We are not just consuming Daijing’s story; we are being invited to join her in the water.

The album is mixed and mastered by Rashad Becker, featuring artwork by Pan Daijing, cinematography by Dzhovani & design by NMR.

Ancient Astronaut - A2

File under: Slow Voodoo / Urban primivitism / Queer Rallentato

Contemporary singer Anna Clementi meets the Alien Alien.
Together they cross boundaries for a visionnaire timeless anthem: NO G.D.M., the cult song by German electro pioneer Gina X.
Originally released in 1979, it's a sublime portrait of the British dandy icon Quentin Crisp, one of the fathers of the queer culture.
Anna Clementi and Alien Alien dig to the heart of voodoo: summoning, obsession, hypnosis, slow ritual dance. With an unpredicted twist, which leads the scene to another level.
The dub version by Hugo Sanchez leads the track even more towards the essence of funk: obscure tribal percussions, revealing a noir soul.

Pinkman and Lux Rec first collaborative release.

Ian Martin - Mirage

„I’m standing on an embankment - I’m very high up - I am looking down on a landscape - on a vast landscape - it’s all dry - it looks like the moon, because it’s all dried up …“ 

Schon in den ersten 30 Sekunden macht André Pahl klar - die Reise geht hoch hinaus, tief in die Zwischenlagen der kosmischen Sphären, quer durch die Wildnis, einmal zum Mond und wieder zurück. 

Der dritte Teil der „Auf Zu Neuen Dächern“ Serie lädt ein zur musikalischen Klangreise durch die Weiten der Pahl’schen Plattensammlung: ein Podcast voll tribalistischer Rhythmen, verhallten Streichern und wundersamen Klang-Artefakten aus lang verschollenen Kulturen. Wir beziehen unser Lager zwischen ersten Knospen im Klunkergarten und blinzeln in die Sonne - on our embankment - really high up. 

Am 30.03.2017 lädt André Pahl mit seinen Gästen "Arcane Onde" aka "Eva Geist" und "Philip Rohé" von der Leftfield-Electronica Band „Popular Bluff“ zu seinem neuen Format „Cosmic Safari“ auf den Kranich ein.

Polaris (Jascha Hagen Edit)

Alongside Jun Fukamashi, Haruomi Hosono, Takashi Kokubo, Inoyama Land and many others, Hiroshi Yoshimura is a pioneer of the japanese "environmental ambient" music (kankyō ongaku) since the masterpiece debut album "Music for nine postcards" was released in 1982.

Many years dedicated to teach music and compose various projects after, notably "Green" in 1986, Yoshimura released "Wet Land" in 1993 on Eastworld Records.

It is when I met and host the brazilian artist from Voodoohop Numa Gama that I discovered the wonderful aquatic atmosphere and ethereal pads of "Singing Stream". I immediately decided to reinterpretate it by adding some percussions, a Model D-oriented bassline as well as crispy textures and smooth transitions to transform it into an ambient dancefloor track.

Here is the result.
