»Ödipus, Herrscher« is the debut release of Berlin-based, Japanese sound artist Mieko Suzuki on raster. It is the result of a composition commissioned by Schauspielhaus Bochum.
The classic, timeless material of Oedipus premiered as a dark dystopia in Bochum in 2021. Before the first words of the play are spoken, the auditorium is filled with an immersive drone that anticipates what will later become the bleak, underlying tone of the staged material: pestilence, decay, fear and resignation. The anticipation of the plot through this drone also introduces the key role of the sound, the importance of the music for this production. Mieko Suzuki produces sounds by gently stroking, scratching and hitting the various elements of her self-built instruments, made from archaic materials such as wood, stone, metal, fur and clay. Amplified by contact microphones, these sounds are electronically manipulated, alienated and distorted. Her central concern is direct interaction; the correspondence between acting and music through improvisation. With tracks such as »Disaster«, »Taboo«, »Pest« and »Vertigo« Mieko Suzuki translates scenarios and moments key to the story through a material resonance, transferring the compositional narrative of Oedipus into a dark and textured sonic terrain. Sonically and affectively, without illustrating it as a compositional narrative. »Vertigo«, for example, features a constantly playing Shepard tone, expressing the inevitability of the abyss.
In addition to this production, Mieko Suzuki is involved as a sound artist and musician in other theaterplays such as »Hamlet« at Schauspielhaus Bochum and »Demons« at the Vienna Burgtheater. She has performed at Mutek.JP (Tokyo), CTM Festival (Berlin), Human Club (Barcelona) and E1 (London), among others, and works as a DJ, a member of improvisation trio Contagious and co-organizer of the Berlin multidisciplinary event series Kookoo at OHM.
raster would like to thank the Schauspielhaus Bochum for their support in realizing this release.

Strange Routine captures the essence of autumn's melancholic beauty through its ambient and experimental melodies and embraces the transformative spirit of fall, weaving a tapestry of sound that is as haunting as it is mesmerizing. From the outsider's perspective to the eerie depths of the night tunnels in Europe, the album delves into realms unexplored. The music conjures a sense of mystery, drawing listeners into a surreal world where time and reality blur.

Undveld ~ Strange Routine SMLP001

Standards & Practices is thrilled to announce an exciting new release from veteran producer and label owner Jonathan Krohn, otherwise known as Stave, and Bristol-based producer Tavis Hitchcock, who writes and releases music under the name Karkossyn. Karkossyn's superb debut EP ("Troubled Youth") for the like-minded and consistently excellent UVB-76 imprint led to a conversation about a possible collaboration, which has resulted in "New Values" - a 12-track split cassette which highlights and showcases both artists approaches to blackened, scorched-earth electronics.

Stave's contribution is a solid summation of his craft and acts as a potent reminder of his range and abilities as a producer: from the cacophonous, arrhythmic "62523" to the simmering, coiled tension of "Relearn / Forget", there's ample evidence here of an artist operating at the height of his powers; the expansive, surprisingly moving "Rolyy" ends the first half on a powerfully lyrical note.

On the flip side, Karkossyn begins with the bleak atmospherics of "Hidden Heart", which soon gives way to "Break The Fall", a heavy dose of Scorn-esque breakbeat-driven bass weight. "For The Floor" ratchets up the tension to an almost unbearable degree, and the droning, cinematic ambience of "Memento" and the dense, pulverizing "Ruins" finishes the split EP in an elegantly brutal fashion.

Atom™

are the last three futurists on earth.

»Radial« is the result of a vivid creative merge between Esplendor Geométrico and Atom™. A transparent diamond formed by a heavy implosion. Its underlying massive mechanics are covered by a crystal surface made to cut reality in half. Just one letter short of “radical”, this album is no less than exactly that - an orgy of powerful, blunt repetition and hyperbolic simplicity, a profound evocation of nothingness and its surroundings.

The 13 tracks (which comprise the digital full-length version) of »Radial« are the exact expansion of sonic ideas those three artists have explored during the last couple of decades. Unexpectedly so, this makes this production an outstandingly atemporal one - some would even classify it as meta-contemporary.

A selection of 10 tracks of the digital full-length album will be released on CD through raster on September 01, whereas an accompanying vinyl release is scheduled for the end of 2023.

Immerse yourself in the ethereal sonic voyage with Dasha Rush's latest electronic music masterpiece, »Contemplating«. This ambient album takes listeners on a transcendental journey through ethereal landscapes and immersive textures. 
The album's title perfectly encapsulates its essence. From the very first note, »Contemplating« captivates with its intricate layers of atmospheric harmonies, meticulously weaving together a tapestry of minimalistic sonic elements. As the ethereal soundscape unfolds, listeners are invited to embrace the moment of stillness in a realm where emotions and thoughts intertwine, creating a sonic experience that is both introspective and otherworldly.

'Permanent Rain' captures truth in all its honesty. Sometimes it feels so physical, it’s as if time and elements of nature are peeled of layer after layer.
This record combines songwriting with sonic hypnosis. A rhythmic, esoteric oasis, containing currents of mysticism, yet accompanied by contemporary electronics. Its elements translate to a brew of mutant raga, neofolk and tripped out celtic fantasies.
'Permanent Rain' will be out on the 22th of November.

XIII - Black Tropica Data

We are proud to announce Meccanismo Ritmico, a new multidisciplinary project that will involve artists who can think outside the box, inspired by the energy and spirit of the 1980s DIY subculture.

The first volume contains 6 exclusive tracks by Diana Berti aka Violet Poison and Disappearer, 1/2 of Harlem Electronics, two already well-known names in the international electronic scene. The first part is dominated by the romantic and introspective minimal synth wave sounds of Diana Berti contrasted by the dirty and distorted EBM influenced tracks of Disappearer. Another new feature included in this project is the poster featuring art made by Alessio Di Mezza with hand-made collage technique and a text edited by the Italian author and Inactual Magazine founder Christian Nirvana Damato, in which recounts the sensory experience through the sounds continuity between Violet Poison and Disappearer.

Our thoughts are with the victims of the ongoing war and humanitarian crisis in Gaza: we are witnessing a gross violation of human rights and since the beginning of the conflict, we have often felt helpless in the face of all this barbarism and inhumanity.
We have therefore decided to donate the proceeds from the sales of the compilation to PCRF - Palestine Children’s Relief Fund.

https://www.pcrf.net/

The donation campaign was successful on 25/12/23!
We sincerely thank all the artists involved and those who supported the project.

Die Tödliche Doris - Im Bausatz

That’s what they like, these humans. Seeking for the perfect visible form. A from, that endlessly rewinds endlessness. That copies beauty with beauty, yet to be decided, what beauty is. What makes a unique shape, a marvelous appearance? How does it shine? The idea. The one, that is always changing its appearance. How can one thing in general be many things in particular? 

So far, only Die Tödliche Doris managed to come close to answers. Since 1980 it’s constantly peeling herself. From one shape to another. Physical, and not so physical. Air, concrete, plastic, ideas, ideals. Wigs and cobblestones. Hi-Heels and uniforms. Photographs and videotapes. Field recordings, songs, SO36 anarchy in the true sense of the tribe. Doris was out there. Doris is out there. Doris is everybody. 

Now even more than ever. She was never yesterday anyway. The future wasn’t her thing either. And in the present, she has never been seen. At this very moment, when “Im Bausatz” comes to live, Doris is all. Finally. Yet not eternally. A Kashual Plastik tape, digitally enhanced with bonus tracks, featuring contemporary producers from around the world, listening to names like Aaron Dilloway, Brandstifter, T.V.S.T., Hugo Capablanca, ML, Beau Wanzer, Nika Son, Laura Not, or Saskia Lavaux. 

They all been Doris for a while. Totally tödlich. Fooling around with original recordings of the original Doris of whom nobody really knows who she really was. They followed a call from the modern-day social network spheres, where Die Tödliche Doris asked the world to reshuffle some old original tape recordings. Out of the millions of submissions, Doris selected 36 works, that together shape the Doris of today for a brief moment of time. 

All remixers, re-shufflers, editors, sculpturers, creators fashioned rugged limousines in sound. Stretched and edged. Arrhythmic and rhythmic. Some closer, some farther to the original. Tearing saws, tape drones, ghost paroles, veiled choirs, voices from the afterlife, pulsating synths, distant telephone calls, tripped out rhythm patterns – Doris is really tödlich. Heißen sie Doris? 

A thousand voices with one word. “Im Bausatz” brings elegantly shaped music for lethal explosions, that questions the "construction" of truth, that is always at issue. A music kit, that comes as multiple conceptions of tonality, as all reality has the structure of a differential trace. Deconstructed constructions, nothing seems to fit together, and yet a 36-track strong opera of the many Die Tödliche Doris rises from the dust of its own identity, identifying you with it in Doris. 

“Hallo Hallo, wir senden euch jetzt Unterhaltungsmusik!” All authorized by author, musician, and artist Wolfgang Müller, of whom they say, he met Doris quite often…
