Janek Schaefer - Radio 104 FM

This is the first album for 12k from renowned UK sound artist Janek Schaefer. He has been active in the music and art worlds for the past 20 years recording and creating sound installations for an impressive list of labels and institutions. In 2008 Schaefer won the British Composer of the Year award in Sonic Art, and the Paul Hamlyn Award, for his project Extended Play [triptych for the child survivors of war and conflict]. He is a Visiting Professor & Research Fellow at Oxford Brookes University, in the Sonic Art Research Unit, and is represented by the Agency gallery, London.

In 2010 Janek produced his largest and most ambitious installation Asleep at the wheel... which explored how our society is hurtling down the fast lane of life with our head in the clouds, and our foot to the floor thinking the road ahead goes on forever. Incorporating spoken word soundbites from a variety of forward thinking people, it enlightened and challenged the audience into waking up, with very positive reactions from all the generations that attended.

In contrast to this, Lay-by Lullaby is a companion album that invites you to take a break, pull over, and daydream as life speeds on by. The motorway signs above read - Tiredness can kill... 

The composition is his calmest yet, and is based around location recordings made in the middle of the night above the M3 motorway, right at the end of the road where JG Ballard lived, a couple of miles from Schaefer’s studio on the far west edge of London. Ballard wrote his seminal works on car culture, as the motorway was being built past the front of his house in 1973; Crash (1973), Concrete Island (1974).

The 73 minute album weaves these location recordings around a series of spacious sonorities, that shimmer with analogue textures and liminal melodies that burnout in the passing headlights. The speeding traffic dopplertrails reveal fleeting passages of soporific sounds that entice you to recline, drift and fade away. An album to enjoy with your eyes closed, on repeat play until the dawn rush hour returns... 

Lay-by Lullaby was created in 2013 as a sculptural installation for Schaefer’s solo London show ’Collecting Connections’ at the Agency gallery. A pair of reclining traffic speaker cones play back the foundsoundscape from a car radio installed in a little leather travel case on infinite loop.

In the end, The Young Man made it through to the center of the giant Heart of the World, corrupted by darkness. 

He was all alone here, because The Wounded Healer died during their last battle. He saw the core right in front of him. The pure light. So warm. So white... like the sunlight, he was never felt before.

He didn't want this world to die. He wanted to save it. But it was the fate that brought him here, to the end of the story.

The Young Man felt something like a friendly warmth in his own heart. That was The Wounded Healer's soul, accompanying him to the very end.

They both wanted to save this world from dying. They promised to protect it at any cost. But now, the boy must destroy it himself, to recreate once again. In the end, boy understood that life never gives us what we want as we see it, but as it is given to us. And although, he himself become the End he was trying to avoid, he will have a chance to create the very new world, being a God. Being the new hope of the world he will make by himself.

The Young Man took the core of pure light in his hands, put it in his chest, and wished to cleanse this world.

Everything disappeared in a second...
There was a light everywhere. The white light.
And so, The Young Man decided to create the new world.

The world he can call his new home.

【lyric】

空を見ていた
日々を忘れても
なぜか覚えていたの
また消えてしまうのに
なぜかな
その声は忘れない
なぜだろうわからない
その声がただ愛おしい

あなたがいて良かった
あなたが生きてて良かった
あなたにいて良かった
またの日はさようなら
