Die neue Sendung Pause-Café von Symplektik startet mit dem Host Manu de Soleure (@manudesoleure). Der Fokus liegt auf ruhiger Musik wie sphärischem Ambient oder schrägem, verträumtem Pop. In diesem akustischen Zufluchtsort werden im Kontrast stehende Musikstile oder Stimmungen so kombiniert, dass etwas verblüffend Überraschendes entsteht.  Ganz nach dem Motto: «Between order and disorder». Monatlich werden immer neue spannende Gäste eingeladen, um ihre ganz eigene Interpretation dieser Vision zu präsentieren.

PLASTIQUE ONO aka @banditbandeau, half of the infamous lo-fi punk band @banditvoyage and a forth the sensible chanson quartet @barriocolette, has prepared a mix for our pause-café on @gdsfm. 

«sometimes
when two worlds collide
it makes sens
perfect love doesn’t exist 
but i’ll find it anyway» 

this mix is for the wicked, the unwanted, the too much, the doubters, the eternal lovers.

This time we welcome the infamous Bassinä (@bassinae) with origins in the Welschland. Maybe Zurich's best DJ for weird wave, punk and kraut music. 
Funfact: The last track is Ricardo Villalobos approved. Enjoy the journey!

Orphin Loiv (@user-644541745) aus Weimar war es ein Bedürfnis die zart-zögerliche Frühlingsfreude, die gerade noch zumeist in wohligen Wolldeckenklängen gebettet liegt, spürbar zu machen. Ihr Mix ist eine Collage von Lieblingsstücken der letzten Monate, die sie als Selector in ihre Sammlung aufnahm.

For this Pause-Café, Aline (@aline-f-rer) created a wonderful, dreamy ambient soundscape filled with detailed and complex sounds. We are very happy to have the Zurich-based label owner of 'The Pluto Question.' Enjoy! 🌌

▮ new mixes exploring the fusion of sound and somatic practice

Each week we welcome one artist to feature to explore a sound journey designed to compliment the typical arch of a movement practice. We feature these mixes all week on our website via the radio player and during specific classes as we continue to learn and discover how sound and somatic practice combine with each other. 
 
This week we have the pleasure to share a mix from @manudesoleure

▍words from Manu De Soleure 
 
Noisy textures flow through space, creating tension through dissonance, adding depth and complexity. This combination resolves into harmonic pads and electronic beats. This mix is inspired by the great masters from Japan to Detroit.

▍artwork feature 

Running alongside our mix series we welcome one artist to showcase a series of 12 works over 3 months, each week providing artwork inspired by the theme of a flower blossoming. 

We welcome the amazing visual artist Coline L'Achiver to the series this week. Here’s what she had to say about the series. 

“The serie of illustrations for the listening Gardens stems from the composition study of flowers who were once believed to have magical properties. By deconstructing them to the most primordial geometric shapes, it explores the ornamental vocabulary which has fuelled artists' imagination and shaped our cities' architectural landscapes for centuries, compiling them into an imaginary garden as an homage to the ancient universal Art of cultivating nature. Sketches for dreamlike gardens, meeting points for mythologies and science, for the intimate and the collective. Oneiric spaces for contemplation, healing, and rêverie.”

Find more of her work with the link below.

Manu de Soleure - Radio Bollwerk - 05.10.2024

Life goes by pretty fast. Let’s stop and look around for a while. This podcast asks how different artists live slowness and explore slowing down through music.
It aims to show that slowness can still take the listener through various moods and energy-levels.

Manu de Soleure is a Zurich/Solothurn based artist who is digging deep on many levels. Always on the hunt to expand his expertly curated record collection, he's also diving deep into studio workflows & music production techniques. Although being an Electro afficionado at heart, his DJ Sets contain exciting selections from all genres of electronic music!

Tune in tomorrow to hear Manu's take on slowness. Welcome to the show Manu :)

TIPP: check his track on this years Speedparade Compilation on Zurich's own @lespoints
