Comfortable Pain

Hikaye: 14 Mart 2014. Ben, Demirhan Baylan ve Cengiz Baysal Izmir'de Fransiz Kultur'de caliyoruz. Disarida olaylar var, Berkin Elvan'i kaybedeli 2 gun olmus. Iceride ses duyuyoruz moraller bozuk ama insanlar var, calmayi birakmak da istemiyoruz. Direnisin ortasi. 28. sn'de ses bombasi patliyor. Yepyeni bir parca calmaya calisiyoruz moralimiz duzelsin diye. Nasil sakin bir sesle calip soyluyoruz sanki kimseye rahatsizlik vermek istemiyoruz. Hayatimin en zor konserlerinden biriydi!
"Yeni bir parca koyalim uzaya. Seslerin icine yeni bir ses koyalim. Disaridaki patlama seslerindense... (Demirhan'dan ic gecirme sesi ve benden..) Evet. 
Bir.. (ses bombasi) kii... "

Resina is the alias of Karolina Rec, a cellist and composer based in Warsaw, Poland.

Born 1982, Karolina graduated from the Music Academy in Gdansk and the University of Gdansk. Active in Poland’s independent music scene since the late ’00s, she was co-founder / collaborator of some of Poland’s most influential alternative bands: Kings of Caramel, Cieslak and Princess, Nathalie And The Loners, Anthony Chorale and more. She has featured on numerous album releases and soundtracks (including the Oscar-nominated ‘Rabbit a la Berlin’), and has been the author of a dozen music productions for theatre. A compulsive live artist, Karolina’s style is primarily characterized by personal language of improvisation and alternative approach to melody. She has collaborated with Scott McCloud, Paul Brody, Piotr Kurek, Coldair, Scianka and many other artists.

Resina was signed to 130701 in February 2016, having sent in a hugely impressive demo. Her self-titled debut album is a result of experiments with cello and simple electronic tools – sometimes close to the form of song; sometimes based more on powerful, intuitive impressions but always marked by the desire to use non-obvious characteristics of the instrument. It is set for release on September 30t,  2016.

Resina - Not Here

After her appearance on the 130701 anniversary compilation alongside Hauschka and Max Richter, Warsaw based cellist/ composer Karolina Rec is releasing her debut album with the label shortly under the moniker Resina. Re-imagining the folk music from her Polish roots, the eponymous release is also determined by her love of landscapes and nature. Citing further influences in experimental rock bands, electronic music and the music from Werner Herzog, she sounded like the perfect host for our antidote to Monday's selection. Listen here and read on to find more about her story.

Turkish Ladies – Female Singers from Turkey 1974 -1988

Female singers are not only artists. They are messengers. Their style reflects what is glamorous, vivid, and important for the culture of their time. But female songs not only reflect what is visible and accepted. They also mirror all neglected, undervalued dreams and expectations. 

Turkish Ladies compilation, curated by Kornelia Binicewicz, aka Ladies on Records emerges from the deep and profound listening to the message of Turkish female singers. Created from music archives of old Turkish labels (Elenor, Türküola, Şah Plak) under licensing umbrella of Sony Music Turkey, the compilation captures the broad diversity of music performed by Turkish women. From seductive and charismatic divas of gazinos and pavyons to straightforward and rough folk singers of türkü bars.

There has been recent interest and revival of Turkish music from late 60s, 70s and 80s among record collectors and musicians. It is high time to rediscover and appreciate the female narrative of this exciting period in music from Turkey. 

Sweet melodies and heartbreaking dramas are captured in edgy arrangements and compositions with eccentric synthesizers, mesmerizing arabesque string orchestras, waka waka funky guitars and narcotizing rhythm sections of darbukas and drum sets. Get surprised by a variety of influences and fusions – from classical Türk Sanat, Argentinian tango, Spanish flamenco, Egyptian classical orchestras, traditional folk songs to worldwide popular disco, psychedelia, funk in local unique setups from late 70s and 80s.

VENT018 Tolga Baklacioglu & Dee Grinski - Remixes vinyl release will be out on May 27th.

Following the release of Tolga Baklacioglu & Dee Grinski's album "Your Secret Face", VENT presents a remix package featuring Samuel Kerridge, Svreca, Ryo Murakami, and Isabella, who are some of the artists who have most inspired and supported the duo's music. These exceptional artists' interpretations refract the industrial rhythms and harrowing vocalisations of the original tracks into caleidoscopic tunnel visions with each remixer's individualistic expression.
