“It’s nothing else but a Chicago-style oberek!’ – that was my first thought when I heard the compilation ‘Bangs & Works’, an album that introduced the footwork style to a global audience. At first I was drawn by the triple, syncopated rhythm, based on the iconic sounds of the Roland TR-808 drum machine. My musical explorations have long been centering around triple rhythms of rural Poland. The clash of this archaic, distinctly Polish form with the freedom of the underground, electronic sound from the Black suburbs of Chicago seemed to aesthetically hit the perfect spot. As an anthropologist - dreamer, I also imagined that the presence of a triple rhythm in Chicago – the largest hub of the Polish diaspora in the USA – was not a coincidence. It was a result of a meeting between our native musical tradition and the musical sensitivity of the Black community in the United States. I must admit that this hypothesis was, and still is, purely my musical dream, unsupported by any scientific evidence. However, regardless of the actual roots of this fascinating phenomenon known as footwork, it is hard not to notice certain correlations between footwork and the Polish oberek tradition. This is in both cases music rather meant for dancing than for listening. It’s supposed to present a certain musical and rhythmic challenge to dancers, who can test themselves in a fun-oriented setting, where competition is an integral part. In Polish villages, these are traditional battles of village bands, while in Chicago, they are footwork battles in underground clubs. Both in the oberek and footwork, the most important are a sense of community, energy, and excitement built around dance, accompanied by a characteristic triple pulse.
Therefore, the footberk suite “Far, far in Chicago”, is intended as an imagined musical journey through time and space, where the Polish oberek and Chicago footwork find a common ground in dynamic, triple rhythms. I aim to show that the syncopated rhythm of the mazurka (or of the oberek) can sound just as contemporary and bold as the beats created for Chicago dancers. The composition is meant to be an auditory tribute to both cultures’ dance spirit and their sense of community. It is an attempt to capture the emotions that accompany both footwork dancers and participants of rural dance parties – spaces where music and dance become tools of self-expression.
To connect these two seemingly distant worlds I use a specially designed rhythmic machine. At its heart lies a rural jaz, with build-on Lem-esque pads packed with samples from the TR-808 and TR-909, as well as other electronic sounds."

This is track "close ab" from the tiles teils cassette. 
Released October 10 2024

The cassette was published as part of the same titled 6-channel sound installation that was presented earlier in 2023 at Museum Schloss Fellenberg Merzig.

It features the sound of broken and cut tiles from the Merzig based tile factory Villeroy & Boch Fliesen GmbH. The factory, wich was directly opposite the Museum, has now, in 2024, moved its tile production entirely to Turkey.

However, the fossilized sounds of a few selected V&B tiles remain somewhere here... in Merzig, in Berlin, on magnetic tape, digitally, www, memorized.

In the former sound installation and now on this cassette, you can hear the tiles assambled to a three-storey ceramophone... humming a farewell song to their origins with the voices and sounds that might be very well known to the 200 former V&B workers.

Parce que Là Venir.e pense que l'ambiance c'est important, parce que Là Venir.e aime la musique des anges et les cris sauvages, parce que Là Venir.e écoute le grondement des machines et la course des astres, pour son premier numéro Là Venir.e a demandé à Léa Roger, de Félon et Osilasi, de composer une hymne au Chariot, une hymne cosmique, qui t'invite à la lutte, au soulèvement, à marcher toujours devant.
