Peder Mannerfelt and Malcolm Pardon return as Roll The Dice with a new collection that pushes their penchant for cinematic soundscapes in striking, unusual directions. The project has been open-ended from the outset, but never more so than in this run of six studio partnerships, recorded over the past three years, that paint vivid scenes from stately grandeur to mountainous intensity. The crack team of artists invited to pool their creative energies were Pär Grindvik, Alessandro Cortini, Glasser, Goran Kajfes, Sophia Loizou and El Perro del Mar – an all-star cast by any measure.

Roll The Dice & Various Artists - Assimilarity

Oren Ambarchi 'Quixotism Part 5' (eMEGO 202)

from the album Charles Cohen - "Brother I Prove You Wrong" out on Morphine Records 2015 - doser026LP

Composer, improviser, and Buchla Music Easel master Charles Cohen returns to Morphine with a suite of new material. In keeping with the timbre spectrum of his semi-modular system, Brother I Prove You Wrong is built around pointillist analog tones—Cohen's cosmic "beeps and boops"—that swarm and scatter in mesmeric patterns across four sides. Moving through surrealistic textural overlays and industrial miasma, the album's nine tracks reveal a more introspective and personal side of the artist, following from a retrospective LP trilogy released via Morphine in 2013. Those assembled works, dating back to the late '70s, quickly became essential listening and brought Cohen—at the time largely unknown outside Philadelphia's experimental circuit—to critical renown. 

Brother I Prove You Wrong was recorded in Berlin in September 2014 using the Buchla Music Easel, with production help and support from Rabih Beaini. Mastered by Neel and curated and designed by TankBoys; cover art by Nathalie du Pasquier.

A Different River Once - Beatrice Dillon & Rupert Clervaux

Poetry, speech, melody and electronics combine on this limited tape from new sub-label ‘Purely Physical Teeny Tapes’.

A change of pace for PP, ‘Figures’ is also a divergence for the two artists involved. Emerging from Melbourne, 'Figures' is a rare artefact for devotees of both poetry and electronic music. The release marks a protean coming together by two figures with curiosity for each other's practice, forming a union between sound and speech to explore themes of bodies, time, language and power.

Lucy Van, who works as a post-doctoral researcher in English and Theatre studies, offers her poems in spoken form and also transcribed in full for the poster in the release.

Laila Sakini, a DJ who has recently emerged as a songwriter-producer, shapes music around each poem intuitively, adding context with restraint, in an experimental, yet pop-conscious process.

Initially developed as a one track hobby project for a noise and spoken word poetry night (which was cancelled), 'Figures' continued to evolve into a more complete body of work, with Laila leaking the demos on her NTS guest slots, leading to this eventual, finalisation of an EP.

The release is presented on a pro-dubbed all clear tape, packaged with an A2 double sided fold-out newsprint poster, all housed within a PVC heat sealed pouch.

Out June 2nd, 2017.

Mastered by Rashad Becker.

Edition of 100.

Laila and Lucy:

Lucy writes about poetry and photography. She is a post-doctoral researcher in the English and Theatre Studies program at the University of Melbourne, and an editor at Cordite Poetry Review. Lucy also writes lyric and prose poems, and has spoken at venues including The Slow Canoe, Station Gallery, and the National Gallery of Victoria.

Laila's role as a DJ and emerging producer/songwriter has seen her traverse between her home town of Melbourne and London. She has performed across clubs and festivals in  Melbourne and in various venues throughout London, Paris and Belgium along with art spaces including The National Gallery of Victoria, Carriageworks and The Australian Centre for the Moving Image. She presents semi-regularly on NTS Radio, has appeared on Boiler Room and has opened for the likes of Dopplereffekt and Optimo. Laila has recently begun producing, writing and performing live solo and collaborative works.

Ode To Sansevieria EP

A1 Ode To Sansevieria

One more song to finish of the year that was. It never really found its place in the context of our last album 'Born to Ruin'. But in a fresh coat of arms courtesy of our dear friend Pär Grindvik.Consider this our humble effort, a soundtrack for the festive season.

Roll the Dice & Pär Grindvik -Buried

Hydra is the second release in a series of collaborations called Assimilarity, this time a joint venture between the Dice and Maestro Allessandro Cortini.

" The whole idea came about following the successful collaboration between ourselves and Pär Grindvik on our track 'Buried' at the end of last year. What started out as curiosity about what could happen if outside input was brought into the process, turned into the feeling that this could be further explored by maybe turning it into a project and a series of releases. We have reached out to different artists that we like and that we feel we have a kindred spirit with in our approach to music, and we will put these tracks out individually throughout the year. To make sure that all these different tracks with different collaborations don't feel too apart from each other we have asked London based Brazilian artist Fabio Almeida (who was Malcolm's flatmate in London in the 90s) if we could use some of his work as artwork for the different covers. Fabio has picked out a set of images that have a common thread but also stand on their own, which is also the way Fabio sees his creative process. For us this kind of sums up the project in a nice way. Together but apart.

Roll The Dice & Alessandro Cortini - Hydra

Roll The Dice presents `Elevate´, the third release in their collaborative series Assimilarity.
This time the Dice have teamed up with vocalist extraordinaire Glasser, which takes them into new sonic territories.
”We were really curious to explore the world of vocals, as this is an area we have never tapped into before.
However we did not want to just slap a vocal on top of a track, but rather try to dig deeper, to make the music and vocals sound as a whole. Let the vocals be part of the machine so to speak. We could not imagine anyone more adept than Glasser to guide us into this uncharted territory."
To complete the collaborative narrative, London based artist Fabio Almeida has provided yet another stunning piece of art for the cover, this time named
Click Clack.

Moon Wheel — རྡོ་རྗེ་རྣལ་འབྱོར་མ་

Belief Defect is the duo of two techno DJs and producers: Moe Espinosa – one of the co-founders of L.A.-based techno label Droid – and Luis Flores, originally from Guadalajara, Mexico and currently living in Berlin. The two met at a festival in Mexico and realized a mutual desire to explore the industrial, punk and drone corners of techno, inspired by the likes of Alessandro Cortini, Andy Stott and Fuck Buttons. Last year Belief Defect released their debut album Decadent and Depraved on the Raster label, and on February 8 they’ll be back with the Remixed 01 EP featuring reworks of album tracks by Cortini, Kangding Ray, Surachai and this one, an elegant take on the track “Deliverance” by Telefon Tel Aviv.
Today Peak Time premiered "Deliverance" (Telefon Tel Aviv Dub)

Tune in to Peak Time on RedBullRadio.com every Monday to Friday, 12 to 3 PM EST: www.redbullradio.com/shows/peak-time

Roll the Dice are happy to announce the 4th outing in their series of musical ”meetings”.In this collaboration they hook up with jazz trumpeter Goran Kajfes (Oddjob, Subtropic Arkestra) for another venture into unchartered territory.”This is our take on Jazz, where we wanted the free spirit in composition and playing to meet the somewhat static and rigid experience of programming and sequencers.To tie it all togeheter, artist Fabio Almeida has provided yet another fitting piece of art for the cover.

Roll The Dice & Goran Kajfes - Sketches Of Pain

For the fifth release in their ”Assimilarity” series, RTD are happy to announce the collaboration between themselves and Bristol based bass legend Sophia Loizou.
” Working together with Sophia on this track has been a great learning experience for us. We take our hats off to the professor of sound for sharing her knowledge and expanding our universe into uncharted territory!”
The track, titled ”Head Drop”, is as always accompanied by the most fabulous artwork by London based artist Fabio Almeida.
