ad-dressed w. Ani Kvirkvelia guest Zitto [16.03.2022]

Pablo Arrangoiz, a man of many monikers, has quite a few experimental releases as well as some dance floor treasures under his belt. His work navigates unholy experimental sounds, spooky atmospheric endeavors, clownish takes on Bach’s canons and much more. The Gurner, released under his new alias Baüzer Vep, fits the bill perfectly: it induces you in a dream-like, slightly nightmarish state, but does so with irony and without neglecting grooves.

thetrilogytapes.bandcamp.com/album/gurum-triads

Gurum Triads is a transatlantic guitar & drum duet album that explores multiple techniques (none of which involve playing guitar). London musician Dane Law uses a Max/MSP contraption of his own invention, which allows him to improvise in real time using samples of his acoustic guitar. Wisconsin-based producer/drummer Chants contributed cassette tapes of his drums & percussion to this process, and then took the resulting recordings and added additional layers of live drumming and self-sampled beats. The focus was never on the process itself but on the feeling and interplay of tactile textures, and on memories of shared post-rock touchstones.

Recorded between January 2022 - February 2023.

LAURA SEBASTIANES.
Laura Sebastianes is a visual artist based in Barcelona. Her work is mainly in the sculptural field, but she also works with video and text. Her most recent sculptural practice has a very objectual character, with special interest in the place of the affective, emotional or sensorial in art; a reflective approach that revolves around the functional nature of the sculpture itself. This approach to the sculptural object has to do with the need to generate a context open to tactile, physical and sound experimentation that sometimes extends beyond its own materiality or meanings. Laura also has a special interest in reconnecting with manual work and deepening those practices that throughout history have been linked to care, pedagogy, socialization and the transmission of knowledge (orality, crafts).

PAUL WECK.
“I created this 3 deck vinyl Dub mixtape in an associative process with sculptural artist Laura Sebastianes. The audio-visual piece could be understood as a dialog between our artistic mediums, which are music and sculpturing. In this particular work the mediums were formed by Dub music and water, two components which are often associated with each other and there for have a cultural link between them.”

ENJOY.

BC: https://stepballchain.bandcamp.com/album/pillow-talk

Step Ball Chain’s unconventional prototype band trickpony is the 11th release on the ever evolving imprint. An assortment of sensual cyber jams collaged together by the trio over timezones, birthed in Perth, Australia by Mike Midnight and Roza Terenzi; old friends joined by Helsinki’s visionary songstress Maria Korkeila. A trinity of alchemy blossomed into an audio rendition of exquisite corpse, layers of each entity glistening through amongst a united cosmos; trip hop atmospherics and downtempo drippings.

The five track EP reveals a metamorphosis of nostalgia, a foot in the ever present and daydreams of future. A subconscious deep dive into lustful pop, guided by spine tingling vocal fantasies; textural hallucination, harmonic odes to the golden era underground and a flirtation with drum and bass, tribal percussive freakouts and dream tinged lyrics of desire.

Pillow talk is a timeless exhibit of esoteric treasures, a portal to a private world of modern enchantment that reveals itself in new ways each listen, music for lovers created by a supergroup of innovators to be digested, shared and cherished.

pi pi pi premiere: trickpony - Room To Breathe (Step Ball Chain)

alys(alys)alys.
"Brazil-born, Berlin-based alys(alys)alys explores the (un)common ground between experimental, club, and soundcloud music; crafting a dynamic approach to her own productions and eclectic DJ sets. For this mix she selected music that translates the feeling that the color red can sometimes provoke on her, focusing on more distorted, aggressive and bassy sounds."

David Rauer.
"There were always a pottery wheel and a record player lying around in the studio. Suddenly, two worlds came together: objects and music. I started using these vinyl pucks as a DJ to offer a visual experience as well. The object could take ownership of the record, and the music could shape the object. Forms for spinning. I spontaneously took the first 40 vinyl pucks in a car to Frankfurt, to a DJ who is also a tailor, Paul-David Rollmann. Since then, others have been spinning the pucks too. The ceramic object has found a new niche. Music shapes matter, and matter shapes music."

MCKENZIE.
"For this episode, McKenzie delivers a classic hypnotic techno set that reflects her unique musical journey. Originally from the US and now based in Tbilisi, she has become a recognizable force in the underground scene, known for her deep, immersive selections and marathon closing sets. With appearances at Budeclub, Club Rote Sonne, Fold.LDN, Kibe Batumi, and RSO.Berlin, her sound is fluid and dynamic—seamlessly weaving together driving rhythms, subtle textures, and atmospheric grooves. With a deep appreciation for tension and release, she crafts a journey that’s both meditative and powerful, inviting listeners to lose themselves in the flow."

GIORGI NAKASHIDZE.
For the focused driving techno Mix from Mckenzie, Giorgi brought an Observation captured  in the remote Javakheti mountains of Georgia. He writes “this is not a natural glacier but a fleeting, almost surreal sculpture, formed by the eruption of water from a broken pipe. The ice accumulates chaotically yet elegantly, resembling a frozen waterfall or a cluster of stalactites—alien-like creatures suspended in time. An accidental masterpiece ? It stirs the imagination, transporting us to landscapes beyond our own. Each year, as the flow of water changes, a new version of this formation takes shape, never repeating itself, always transforming.  This photograph captures a brief, unrepeatable moment— a testament to nature’s ability to create, destroy, and reinvent.”

 X^x.
" This episode is especially important to us, as it expresses our deep fascination with Georgia and its subcultural movements.We believe in the responsibility we all share to support the people and cultural movements we enjoy and consume. This leads us to our ambition—not only to celebrate the beautiful art of Mckenzie and Giorgi in this episode but also to spotlight a brave fight against oppression, undemocratic processes, and the pursuit of freedom."

LDS.
Our local hero LDS is playing a selection of his favourite ambient music together with his son Adam.
 
Kristin Jakubek.
"Currents is a 20-minute looping video piece accompanying a live DJ set by LDS, created for the collectives X hoch X and Augmented Research. The piece plunges viewers into a continuous visual journey through a dreamlike, subaquatic world—where the viewer drifts seamlessly from one aquarium to another.
Integrating AI-driven video and image generation techniques, the artist stitches together long sequences of filmed underwater footage with algorithmically generated transitions. The result is a meditative sequence of submerged environments—green-tinged algae tanks, murky aquatic chamber vistas, and fish-filled expanses—blurring the boundary between the real and the artificial.
The work eschews traditional narrative structures and hard cuts in favour of continuous, fluid transitions. These flowing narrative structure echo the transient nature of water itself and point to new possibilities for storytelling—ambient, immersive and in constant transformation. Through this fluid choreography of visuals, Currents proposes an alternative mode of guiding audience attention: not through directive edits, but through suggestion, motion, and atmosphere. 
This piece reflects the artist's ongoing exploration of how AI can be used not just as a generative tool, but as a method for rethinking narrative continuity, perceptual immersion, and the construction of visual rhythm."
