This is a preview for an album to be released sometime in 2024 entitled EMPAZZO. It is a follow-up to my 2013 album, VURGON (https://ubiktune.com/releases/ario-vurgon), and one which I consider to be much more substantial.

It is likely that a couple or several of these tracks will be excluded from the final release, but the track total will likely be around twenty -- similar to my 2021 release, MAGNO (https://ariomusic.bandcamp.com/album/magno). If you have followed my work over the years, some of the pieces here will be familiar. Others, you will likely have never heard at all.

The album artwork is a placeholder.

Preview for upcoming album, EMPAZZO

As 2023 comes to a close it is time for another Cosmo-vision mixtape of beautiful music in new contexts. Old music, new music, electronic, acoustic, folk to dub: a patchwork of sound and a journey of melody, harmony and rhythm.

Chalk it up as another tough year with glimmers of hope if you keep your eyes on them.

Turning their gaze to the buoyant culture of wyrd, modernist German folk music, Quindi welcome a spectacularly idiosyncratic offering from Johannes Schebler, aka Baldruin. Bewildering narrative twists, high drama and intricate delicacy make Mosaike der Imagination an engrossing listen from the outset, as baroque atmospheres and tumbledown drums intertwine with tactile string plucks and needlepoint synthesis in an authoritative bridging of ancient and hypermodern sonic sensibilities. 

Schebler's catalogue as Baldruin is extensive, reaching back to the late 00s and covering a lot of ground through cassette albums on respected underground labels like SicSic, A Giant Fern and Lullabies For Insomniacs. Meanwhile, his work has been recognised as part of a broader movement of experimental electronic music in Germany taking inspiration from folk traditions, as documented on last year's essential Bureau B compilation, Gespensterland. Beyond his solo work, Schebler also works with Jani Hirvonen as Grykë Pyje (mappa), and both collaborate with Paul Wilson as Yayoba (Not Not Fun). Christian Schoppik of leading dark folk project Brannten Schnüre joins him as Freundliche Kreisel (STROOM). It's a tangled, fascinating and evocative sound world which Mosaike der Imagination offers a compelling window into. 

No two tracks on the album follow the same pattern or palette, whether gliding through the Giallo synth undulations and post rock tonal arcs of 'Stimme des Wegelagerers' or spelling out miasmic incantations through flickering flames on 'Aus dem Feuer, aus dem Licht'. 'Hinein, hinaus, hinüber' revolves around meditative drum mantras and cascading melodic phrasing, densely layered and evolving with purpose. 'Gemeinsam hindurch' flicks between swooping strings and pizzicato plucks in a purely romantic expression of orchestration, 'Mit verbundenen Augen' is a bewildering choral voice study and 'Im Sternstrom' revels in ecstatic synth arpeggios. Nothing can be predicted except the vibrancy and clarity of Schebler's vision. 

It's a vision which extends to the front cover artwork for Mosaike der Imagination — a glorious tapestry created by Finnish artist Jan Anderzén, with a responding design and layout from Schebler adorning the rear sleeve. 

Stepping to the side of the cosy daydream reveries that inhabit much of the Quindi output, Mosaike der Imagination indulges the label's penchant for sophistication in a freakily fascinating new framework from the heart of an exciting movement in experimental folk music.

[QUI015] Baldruin - Mosaike der Imagination PREVIEW

prod me 

oh i think i lost my lunch
start to hate what ive become
i grew sick of me
i grew sick of this too
sitting in my room
hoping you would hate me
before i hate you
when i needed help nobody came through
i did that too
and i loved you so much it felt like sun
if i needed help you would jump the gun
i don’t deserve that at all
thought if i ran i would make you fall
hey it hurts hate my words
i wish i could spit up
all my thoughts and my fears
they rest in my stomach
building up everyday
no release out of place
no relief nothing changes
but i’d hold on
to you i couldn’t lose
the voice that i woke up to
but i can’t hold on at all
i need to throw up
our love was stuck with super glue
got sick and didn’t have the room
i cant fight all my battles
i’ll let myself puke

puke

We've covered his music before on Repartiseraren and we're proud to be collaboratng with Baldruin for an exclusive premiere of one of the tracks from his forthcoming release "Mosaike der Imagination", called "Der Verwunschene Hain".

I picked this track because I feel like it encompasses much of what Baldruin gives you in terms of experimentalism and percussion, a rhythmic wonderwork that transcends space and time. 

Thank you to Unsung Hunger, Quindi Records and of course Baldruin! May our paths cross many times more in the future.

Here's what the label/press has to say about the release:

"Turning their gaze to the buoyant culture of wyrd, modernist German folk music, Quindi Records (Woo, Monde UFO, Bondo, Testbild!, Nový Svět, Cabaret du Ciel +++) welcome a spectacularly idiosyncratic offering from Johannes Schebler aka Baldruin.

Film score and EDM music. I've been composing  learning and experimenting with music for 35 years, I studied music as it relates to film in University at KU and San Jacinto CC, this includes Classical, Jazz, Rock, Pop, and Electronic,  I'll likely release anything Dance related as DJ Keg-US, when I say DJ I mean that as more of the ethos than functionally, I'm no DJ and don't pretend to be at this point besides many are digital file jockeys aren't they? . I've built computer systems for DJ's and assisted in the booths and run the lights at clubs and parties.   Fundamentally I am a composer, sound designer and video editor, occasionally I'm a cinematographer as I've spent a few years studying that in regard to film composition and it's not always in that order you can find me on IMDB  	http://www.imdb.me/kirkgreninger
On this page you'll find selections of my newer and better representations of my music, and experimentation s.  If anyone is wondering why I have not done more music in all that time, I spent some time recording others, sound engineering and producing audio and video masters, designing web pages, editing news.  Enjoy the page and email me if you have ideas or comments.
