De branche en branche

4 track EP

Out November 15th, 2024

Distributed via wordandsound (EU, World) and Forced Exposure (US)

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

Well, this was a long one coming, but I have finally finished it.

Dedicated to the Romanian Orthodox Elders of the 20th Century who managed to have kept the true faith going in spite of intense persecutions by the Atheist Regime, and thanks to their piety and ascetic struggles, are being canonised as Saints of the Church. 

Also dedicated to the suffering Ukrainian Orthodox Church, who are now going through the same intense persecutions.

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:

MUSIC FOR TRUE ALPHAS

Bandcamp Coming Soon

Les Antonymes is a variable-geometry band. No two concerts are the same. The same piece is never played twice, or at least not in the same way. You can expect craggy soundscapes, meandering melodies, and the occasional groove to stir things up a bit (although you won't know which foot to dance on).

Bookings: antonin (a) nubo.coop

Les Antonymes est un groupe à géométrie variable. Aucun concert n'est pareil au précédent, l'idée étant de ne jamais rejouer deux fois le même morceau, en tout cas pas de la même manière. Attendez-vous à des paysages sonores escarpés et des mélodies sinueuses, mais aussi à du groove qui remue, même si vous ne saurez pas toujours sur quel pied danser.

Past shows:
• 17/08/24 @ 147
• 17/07/24 @ 147
• 27/03/24 @ Bonnefooi
• 24/11/23 @ 147
• 25/06/23 @ Ateliers Mommen
• 18/05/23 @ 147

Repartiseraren is not only a blog-zine now, but also a label, that doesn't adhere to trends since 2010.

ïnmetaphørs is an experimental multi-genre 4-channel DJ/Performance project currently based in Bogotá, Colombia. Specializing in the psychedelic experience, ïnmetaphørs delves into the abstract realms of sound, using it as a psychological mirror to reflect both the individual and collective wonders. The project blends abyssal and ethereal environments with tropico-experimental rhythms and organic melodic patterns, integrating unusual elements to achieve a cultural metalanguage that contrasts the absurd mundane with the deep uncanny.

ïnmetaphørs combines genres progressing from dark ritual ambient and drone music to electropical/latintronica, EBM, IDM, darkwave; entering the intense realms of Industrial Hard Techno, Acid Trance, and culminating in Darkpsy/Forest, Psycore, and Slambient.

Using a 4-channel setup with extensive hot cue utilization and a sampler, ïnmetaphørs creates dynamic, adaptable performances that transcend entertainment into the realm of the sacred and the unknown.

Aiming to reinforce the psychedelic community and activate an Archetypical and primoridial heritage through music, ïnmetaphørs immerses listeners in ethereal fractal patterns that seduce corporeal movement into ecstatic meditation, regardless of the BPM dynamic while mostly participating in psytrance festivals, underground and private gatherings.
