Introspective, engaging, electronic music exploring the concept of “unfinished” in relation to oneself, art, architecture and surroundings, ‘No One Really Listens To Oscillators’ is the gloriously titled new album by Indian Wells, the project of producer Pietro Iannuzzi from southern Italy. The nine track album is set for release on 15th July 2022 on Max Cooper’s Mesh imprint.

“Before I started to create this album, I cleared my mind,” says Pietro. “I  went back to when I fell in love with electronic music and listened to Radiohead’s Kid A and Amnesiac, Warp artists like Boards of Canada and Aphex Twin, Border Community, William Basinski, Massive Attack. I felt my last album was unfinished, and realised something had to change in my music.” 

The album’s first conceptual input came from an article in The New York Times talking about a new conceptual architectonical style. The term “Incompiuto” (Unfinished) was theorized by Alterazioni Video & Fosbury Architecture and concerned unfinished works that reveal the inability of projects to make infrastructures useful and sustainable for the community. 

“The head of this article was a photo of an escalator in the middle of nowhere in Calabria, where I live,” explains Pietro. “I knew this escalator very well and I immediately realized that my perception of this "reality" could be really different from people who have never lived in this area. It can be said that I grew up in the unfinished - between unfinished houses and other half-built works that are now an integral part of the landscape, without really noticing. In reality, our experience is influenced by everything that surrounds us and this context shapes us to make us live a distorted reality, which we very quickly get used to.”

‘No One Really Listens To Oscillators’ was the first track completed and gives the album its title. “I was spending a lot of time working on micro-changes on the oscillator frequency on the lead synth of the track,'' says Pietro. “After a couple of hours I asked myself “Who cares? Will people even notice this?” It’s a way to say that we have lost our ability to notice little things, to go deeper. To develop sensitivity.”

During the recording of the album, Pietro’s daughter was born in April 2020. “My daughter was born with Down Syndrome, which we didn't know anything about, so I started to study and understand how her life could be.” During Pietro’s research he discovered works by the American artist Judith Scott, who was born deaf and with Down Syndrome and read how her condition made her, in the eyes of society, an "unfinished" person. “I was struck by her beautiful and illegible works that are nothing more than pure and simple expression, an end to itself, with no other purpose.” The track ‘Life Of JS' is dedicated to her. 

The album’s beautiful closing track ‘Before Life’ was created soon after discovering his wife was pregnant and starts with a recording of his daughter’s fetal heartbeat. “For me it is a hymn to creation, in a very broad sense. It’s written for my daughter. It’s hope.”

‘No One Really Listens To Oscillators’ is set for release on 15th July 2022 on LP and digital formats.

'If Miniature World Is Our Safe Space, Then Pass Me The Shrink Ray’ is the new album from the Russian Linesman. The project features a number of collaborators, most significantly Mercury Music Prize nominated Maps (Mute Records), Lederrick, Valeska Rautenberg, Marta Hagen, Lív Næs, Scarlet Season and Cesca.

The album was inspired by a rummage through old boxes of lyrics and diaries during lockdown, this musical journey explores the emotional complexities of navigating modern life while yearning for the simplicity of the past. It delves into the weight of expectations and obligations, transporting listeners to moments of wonder and enchantment and rekindling a sense of curiosity long forgotten.

Psychology-wise, the whole concept came from internal coping strategies during lockdown, nostalgia and warm past memories juxtaposed with the affliction of growing older and the world forcing change upon you. It fits in with the work of Johannes Hofer and Krystine Batcho on the psychological purpose of nostalgia. Does nostalgia strengthen our sense of self, or is it something that holds us back?

Selecta Patou "rinôçérôse" November 2023

With their sixth release Tiefenrausch keeps on delivering excellent dubtechno this time by Textural Being from Portland. We enter the EP with an overwhelming deepness in „Safe Places“ and sink right in. With „Transmission“ we walk on the thin line between house and dub. A reminiscence to the classy days of disco music combined with roughness par excellence. „Descend“ back again under the water surface to get drown into the dubbyness of this Textural Being.

The EP is the first one to come with new Cover artwork. We‘d like to thank Cris for his outstanding artwork of Tiefenrausch 1-5 and are looking forward to marvel at the next 5 releases designed by Alex Ketzer.
All tracks mastered by SALZ.
