More VA action as the series continues with another instalment. As is tradition at OEW, four heavy hitters grace the newest plate. Enlisting rising talents and familiar faces alike, the Witness surveys all, cherry-picking another clutch of intrepid dancefloor navigators for the label.

Asphalt DJ tees off with a shadowy, driving tripper. Flush with insistent throb and a spectrum of proggy flourishes, it’s properly hypnotic fare. De Lichting member RDS, on the other hand, opts in favour of deep space projection. ‘TH Only’ is a pristine transmission; deep groove and widescreen scope primed to soundtrack imagined interplanetary expeditions.

Making nocturnal manoeuvres with a touch of grit, Hypercolour and Glass Table co- founder Ste Roberts goes off on another tangent entirely. ‘Tune Pitch Decay’ is as dusky as it is propulsive; tough and cavernous for the duration. Made of uneasy soundscapes and half-time, rolling drums, Amsterdam local Tammo Hesselink finally rounds things off on an abstract, downtempo tip.

Gabriola ~ Midnight Vapour Trail Ep.76

Kontour Visions returns with Jaundice (@jndce) in the opening first hour. With the
second hour filled by the signature sound of @david_j_bull.
As the co-founder of Studio 89, @teak_music parties, and Cardiff-staple
@paradisegardencdf, David is a prolific guy, to say the least. If that wasn’t
enough, he’s also been producing a steady stream of late 80’s Belgium-nodding
releases, like the excellent “Body & Beat” on @dka_records and his most recent,
“The Energy EP,” on Dummy Hand. Recorded live at Paradise Garden, DJB’s
mix bridges these elements of the darker motifs while always infusing a balance
of the old and present day that he does so well in his own releases. Thrilled to
have him on and for taking the time to do this mix.

Zen Flutist teams with FAUST, TROUM, and Limpe Fuchs for "Ambient Koan". Viz Michael Kremietz's 16th Album Blends Ancient Buddhist Practice with German Experimental Legends


ABOUT THE ALBUM

Ambient Koan represents a profound synthesis of three decades of experimental music exploration and 25 years of Zen practice. This 16th studio album by Viz Michael Kremietz emerges from the liminal spaces between breath, sound, and meditation, anchored by the ancient voice of the Shakuhachi flute.
The album weaves together solo compositions originally created for theater and performance with collaborative pieces featuring some of Europe's most innovative experimental musicians. Each track serves as a sonic meditation, inviting listeners into "unknown dimensions with pre-verbal and pre-symbolic origins."


ARTIST BIOGRAPHY

Viz Michael Kremietz is a German experimental musician, composer, and Zen practitioner whose work spans over 30 years in the fields of experimental music, ambient soundscapes, theater, and performance. For 25 years, he has practiced Zen Buddhism and mastered the Shakuhachi (Zen flute), studying the traditional Hongyoku music of Zen Buddhism for eight years.

Kremietz's artistic practice centers on the Shakuhachi's uniqueability to make breath audible, combining breathing, music, and meditation into a singular transcendent experience. His performances have taken him to sacred spaces worldwide, including the burial chamber of the Great Pyramid of Cheops and Aleister Crowley's former abbey in Cefalù, Sicily.

Based in Wangen, Allgäu, Germany, Kremietz continues to explore the intersections of Eastern philosophy, experimental sound, and consciousness through his prolific recording and performance career.
