The new Forwind release comes courtesy of Vienna based artist Jakob Schauer. “In death I am caressing you” is a seven track twist of ghostly disruptions, glitched electronics and vaporous blasts of noise.

In death I am caressing you’s sounds are generated from a wide array of analog and synthetic sources in an attempt to build “hyperrealistic acoustic atmospheres and sonic gestures.

The latest Forwind release will be available in a limited edition Digipak and digital.

The wonderful Fog Puma is lying on the blanket for this month. Beside being an exceptional person and Dj, Monsieur is as well a bookseller, together with his fellow traveler, Lori B - the bookshop is named Zabriskie ... The set is based on the essay named "Les Paradies articifiels", from C. Baudelaire. 

German Textes - Ein Podcast von Fog Puma für Night Travel On A Blanket. Die Texte sind aus Charles Baudelaires "Die künstlichen Paradiese", "Les paradis artificiels" im französischen Original. Erschienen ist dieser Essay im Jahre 1860, aber er hat eigentlich nichts an Aktualität verloren - wie Baudelaire den Haschischrausch beschreibt, so erleben ihn auch heute noch die meisten Konsumenten. Der Essay ist eine Art Handbuch, in dem erklärt wird, wie man sich am besten ausrüstet, um sich auf eine Haschischreise zu begeben (engl. "night travel on a doobie"), und geschildert wird, was passieren kann, wenn man auf den falschen Dampfer gestiegen ist. Für meine Collage aus Musik und Text habe ich mich an den Auszügen bedient, in denen es eher um eine Gebrauchsanleitung geht. Im Anschluss daran folgen dann Beispiele von Rauscherfahrungen von Baudelaire selbst oder von Freunden, die ebenfalls sehr interessant zu lesen sind, aber den Rahmen dieses Podcasts gesprengt hätten. Diese könnt ihr selbst nachlesen.

Morning Call

Italian musician Attilio Novellino released his first album in 2009. Since then he has been focused on the use of sound as a psycho-acoustic tool throughout his solo albums and collaborative projects. June 2020 sees Attilio’s first release on Forwind.

Recorded in Stockholm at EMS Elektronmusikstudion, and in Catanzaro, Italy, Attilio used a wide range of sound sources including; piano soundboard with strings, grand piano, prepared piano, Buchla 200 modular synthesizer, Serge modular, Prophet 5, harmonium, organ, percussions and electronics. There are varied approaches and results across the four pieces as it moves from some beautifully recorded grand piano sections via ambience and carefully crafted abrasiveness.

Strängar will be available as a limited edition Digipak and digital release.

'Lisa' - Track 1 from the debut album 'Verwoben' by Martina Claussen 

Martina Claussen has been active as a composer, vocal artist and Professor of Voice in Vienna for many years. After many collaborations and appearances on some excellent compilations she's arrived at her full debut album, a project we're very excited to be part of as Forwind reaches its thirtieth release.

Verwoben (Interwoven) is an engrossing, intricate album of electronics and electro-acoustics with Martina’s voice being the primary sound source for most of the compositions. The five tracks were crafted over several years of experiments, recordings and live performances before finding their final form, with Martina's production and sound design skills shining through in the innovative results.

Packed with movement and dynamics, Verwoben swerves between the apparent, abstract and engagingly abstruse via pensive electronics, contemporary rumblings and harsher sections all swirling around the home base of Martina’s voice, that always lends the album a warmth even as the sound moves further and further out into more shadowy and desolate spaces.

Verwoben will be available as a limited edition Digipak and in all digital formats. Buy link will take you to our Bandcamp.

Opening track from Alex Mackay's 'Targazer' album.
Forwind - 01/10/2020
https://forwind.bandcamp.com/album/ta...

Mogwai live team member Alex Mackay comes charging out of the gate on his debut solo album with a fierce new work that will appeal to fans of dark dense electronics. From the frenzied blast beats of the album opener God Monitor/Screen Burn to the intense sludgy heaviness of Hex Negative, Targazer chews its way through its evolving environs.

The album art and video are the second strand to Targazer’s double helix; Alex and artist Matt Zurowski's vision of the creation of a bio-digital domain. In this new ecology, biological and digital realities overlap and interfere with one another, a visual parallel to the collision of digital and organic musical processes within the music. Moss breaks through cracks in stone and cracks in data, negotiating new forms of being as a part-digital organism. Unlikely, uncanny and amorphous objects populate this territory between territories.

The video accompanying the album’s opening track ‘God Monitor/Screen Burn' is a study of textures and surfaces. It interprets the fabric of organic and computational domains as entangled and fragile realities. Differences in movement, image quality, texture and shape all contribute to the conjuring of an interconnected bio-digital consciousness which navigates through the similarities and disparities of these subjects.
