POOLcast 066 - Massud Matin

For our sixty-sixth edition of POOLcast we have a submission from Massud Matin for you. Matin has sent us a mix with which he leaves his comfort zone and ventures into new realms of electronic music for the first time.

As we have discussed many times before, POOLcast is a platform to expand the prevailing comfort zones. This is true for all three parties involved, the artists who are given a stage without any genre classifications and are free to experiment or share another facet of their work with others. Furthermore, it is also always an incentive for our listeners to engage with each episode of our podcast series in a new way, loosening up perhaps entrenched listening habits a bit. The third and perhaps most trivial comfort zone to break open again and again is our own, that of the curators of POOLcast. This is where visions of what POOLcast is and should be fed from many different minds. This results in a zone that seems to be pinned down by compromises. Recognizing and admitting this is an important part of everyone's creative life. That's why we are glad to receive submissions that encourage us to leave our one comfort zone. What we want from others, we should always look for in ourselves.

Therefore, we are happy to present you this month with Massud Matin, a POOLcast that fits wonderfully into the current season, is refreshingly lightheartedly curated and brings a flow of optimism that we all surely appreciate.

Enjoy.

Massud Matin
Massud Matin is a minimal producer and performer based in the city of Bremen, Germany. His first release came out in 2014 and he made waves with his vinyl only EPs at prominent labels such as Tupiar Records (Romania, 2017), LumièresLaNuit (France, 2018) and Norse Project (UK, 2019). Bold, forward organic rhythms as well as experimental sampling and warm frequencies are part of his signature sounds. For the Year 2021 Massud got together with label chief and artist known as Muninn aka Sugheh Apul to create the Damavand Project which will feature vinyl EPs and digital singles dedicated to the Dub and Roots culture in combination with minimal music production and art form. Damavand is a loving and playful translation of a musical approach dedicated to the pioneer Ruddock Osbourne better known as King Tubby and brings this legacy in music history to another conclusion.
The first limited vinyl only release of the Damavand Series will feature 4 original tracks by Massud Matin and is set to hit stores in a few months.

POOLcast 066 - Massud Matin

POOLcast 067 - 0l0m

Our June edition for the year 2021 comes from Ilya aka 0l0m from Moscow. He has set up some CDJ and provided us with a wonderfully diverse mixtape, varied and stirring, just the right thing for the starting summer.

We are very happy that we see more and more new DJs who try to unite diverse music to a complete work and thus create something uniquely new.
The aim is not to serve genres or to make only one mood consumable over sixty minutes. Rather, they try to bring the multifaceted richness that music offers into resonance with the complexity of the human emotional and mental world, or to use it as a communication channel. Such works can be viewed from a different angle every day. The current state of the listener contributes significantly to the experience of multiple genre mixtapes, creating a feedback loop. The work has an active influence on the listener's current condition and the listener's condition on the active influence of listening.

Repeated listening is required.

POOLcast 067 - 0l0m

POOLcast 069 - PLO

This month we present you again one of our favorite projects - PLO.
ANN, Demas, Dr.Nojoke and GNILYf got together again in the POOL Studio for an improvised computer groovebox modular sampler jazz session thingy.

The constantly changing composition of musicians, instruments and technology makes each session a musical event in its own way. The individual participating musicians do not know what instruments and what technology the others will bring to the actual session, which leads to an unpredictable musical experience that often exists only in that moment. Therefore, it is always a pleasure for us when the participants share their experience with our POOLcast listeners. As always, it's hard to describe in just a few words what the recording holds for the listener.  Therefore, we decided not to give you a preview of what you can expect when listening to the POOLcast. This way it comes closest to the actual experience of the musicians. Musical communication in real time, improvised and unfiltered. 

Enjoy.

POOLcast 075 - Collab Special - Storlon + Dollar Mambo

Our second POOLcast of the year is a collaboration between Storlon and Dollar Mambo from Switzerland. In their POOLcast the worlds of a modular enthusiast and a piano player are colliding. Both use all kinds of electric and acoustic sound generators to create a musical hybrid.

Acoustic-analog and synthetic-digital with influences from jazz, classical, drone, ambient, minimal, experimental and musique concrete form a heterogeneous body of art, which surprises over and over again with soulful details, mysterious sounds and rhythms. Dynamic, melodic and hypnotic. All stops of sound blending are pulled out, creating a maelstrom that is hard to escape from.

Enjoy.

POOLcast 075 - Collab Special - Storlon + Dollar Mambo

POOLcast 079 - Waldboot

Our latest edition of the POOLcast comes this month from Waldboot. A fictional, artificial construct from the world of Three Apes.

POOLcast 079 is a weave of the musical aspects of this construct. Synthetic, acoustic and emotional sounds, which have their origin in the coincidence of the moment, document a timeless journey through sheer endless worlds. Waldboot's musical form manifests itself in almost exclusively self-synthesized sounds, using various generative algorithms to create a fabric of organic textures and artificial atmospheres. This seemingly tangled web serves as a breeding ground for all sorts of emotional moments and unpredictable ramifications. A kind of a musical maze, which knows neither entrance nor exit. You get the feeling as if you were, are and will irrevocably always have been a part of this mesh.

Coincidence with meaning generates emotions.
Enjoy.

POOLcast 086 - .subd

We kick off the year with a POOLcast edition of .subd from Brazil. POOLcast 086 is a refreshingly energetic piece of work, the perfect start to a new year with our POOLcast series.

Every year around new year, some reflect on the past one, and others wonder what the new one has in store for them. Sometimes we look back on the past and let our thoughts wander into the future. But it is quite usual for these two behaviors to be very much separated from each other in a person's life. To make the same decisions for the future on the basis of experiences is often not possible. Times, people and oneself are subject to constant change, so it seems deceptive that future decisions can be made purely on the basis of the past. But here art can serve as an anchor between the past and the future, letting us experience nostalgia and an atmosphere of departure simultaneously. Art can unite past, future, chaos, order, nature and technology, helping us to have truly timeless experiences.

Happy New Year.
Enjoy.

POOLcast 091 - Dr.Nojoke

For our first summer POOLcast in 2023 we have a collector set from our beloved Dr.Nojoke. Classical, dub, techno, ambient, jazz and electronic are carefree mixed together here, creating a marvel over and over again that fits perfectly into the POOLcast concept.

"Life During Wartime" - Part 2, is what Dr.Nojoke calls his collage. Part 1 was a little over a year ago ( https://soundcloud.com/thepoolberlin/poolcast-077-drnojoke ). Time has not stopped and continues to pass ceaselessly. Plans of that time have occurred, have been forgotten, have changed or have been postponed. If you try to recall this point in time, it will bear more or less fruit. Predictable, you might think, our existence, chained by the absolute determinism of time. The moment, a quantum of time. The moment as the purpose of life, no consideration, no foresight, nothing that makes our actions tangible and useful beyond the "self in the moment". Are causes and effects even comprehensible for us beyond the moment or is the timeless self just an unattainable fantasy? What does time do to us?

Listen and find out.
Enjoy.

POOLcast 091 - Dr.Nojoke

POOLcast 093 - PLO

Our August issue brings you another live improvised recording from our very own project PLO. For this recording ANN, Dr.Nojoke, Waldboot and The Artist Formerly Known as From Karaoke to Stardom came together with a whole truckload of music hardware.

Samplers, grooveboxes, keyboards, guitar pedals, synthesizers and more create a unique vibe at the PLO sessions right from the set up and sound check. The unpredictable combination of all the instruments, effects and ideas, which are completely recombined from session to session, create a breeding ground of creativity for the artists attending the session. With the goal of allowing as few mental filters as possible to come between artistic intuition and the piece. To create an environment in which the participating artists allow the purest form of art. It is therefore also unnecessary to use typical musical phrases to classify the resulting work. The consumption of such artworks should also be enjoyed with as little bias as possible.

Enjoy

POOLcast 093 - PLO

POOLcast 094 - ANN

For our September issue we have another Founderscast, so a POOLcast directly from the heart of The POOL Berlin and the POOLcast department. ANN's ongoing journey through the spheres of electronic music currently finds a new peak in the interplay of Ambient and Drone.

The first thought that comes to mind with the terms Ambient and Drone is the idea of a wall of standing vibrations building up in front of you. However, what sounds like sonic brutalism here is actually much more than walls that seem to stretch endlessly in all directions. Rather, ambient and drone are amorphous spheres that exist in countless variations. These spheres of electronic music, with their oscillating and undefined edges, can merge, orbit, overlap, sublimate, or phase out. The resulting complex musical spaces are much more than vibrating walls.

Enjoy.

POOLcast 095 - Concept Special - Transmission III

POOLcast 096 - GNILYF

We start our new POOLcast season with a mixtape by Gnilyf, co-founder and POOLcast curator from the very beginning. For the start of our tenth POOLcast season, gnilyf presents a mixtape that ranges between the genres of jazz, experimental, ambient, drone and techno.


The mixture of styles has accompanied POOLcast since the first editions and is thus the cornerstone for the development of POOLcast from a pure genre playground to a space for unfiltered creativity. Without limitations and audience-driven expectations in curation, we try to be a platform for the unexpected, inspiring and challenging with our own productions and curated contributions. A platform for works of art that come as directly as possible from the creative level to the listener without external influences and thus evoke a reaction that can be both harmony and dissonance. Between these two ends of the spectrum is the space in which art is created and consumed.


Join us for the tenth season.
Enjoy

POOLcast 096 -  GNILYF

POOLcast 097 - Demiurge

Our last edition of POOLcast for 2023 brings us back a familiar face. Demiurge aka Demas von Klangscheiben, founding member of POOL and co-initiator of the idea of a monthly podcast series under the POOL banner, has sat down at his modular system again after a "life stuff" break and provided us a recording for you.


The end of this creative break is more than a return to what was. This is not an attempt to simply make the past tangible again. Rather, something new is being created here from a cognitive narrative. A reinterpretation of past creations is inevitable, but a return to a deterministic archetype of artistic existence is not to be anticipated. There is therefore nothing better than a POOLcast to provide a platform for this new artistic phase in Demiurge's work.

POOLcast 097 - Demiurge

POOLcast 098 - Lumia Sylko

Our first POOLcast in 2024 comes from Switzerland and, like our last edition, is a live modular synth recording. Lumia Sylko is essentially an audiovisual project that uses the technical means and media of today to offer a platform for creative development.

Musically, there are almost no limits. Ambient, minimal, jazz, drone, electroacoustic and musique concrète are all components that find their way into Lumia Sylko's works. For POOLcast 098, Lumia Sylko has sat down at his modular system and provided us with a recording that wonderfully demonstrates what can be musically extracted from such systems. From hypnotic to groovy to dreamy, Lumia Sylko has created a thoroughly entertaining recording for POOLcast that we can recommend to everyone for the dark days.

Happy New Year.
Enjoy.

POOLcast 099 - J-M-S

The second POOLcast of 2024 joins the line-up of fully improvised works from previous months. This time, however, it's not one person alone who has sat down at his modular system and pressed record, but J-M-S have once again recorded one of their jam sessions for you.

J-M-S plays live music with all kinds of electronic devices, which are completely improvised without any guidelines. Devices and instruments vary from session to session and allow you to experience the creativity of the artists unfiltered. There are no instructions, no metronome, no scales or other guidelines. Lose yourself in atmospheric spaces, dreamy echoes, woozy reverbs and rushing drones. 


Enjoy.

POOLcast 005 - Sven Laux

Sven Laux is part of a modest faction of producers that have been faithfully progressing the evolution of micro composition. Born in Neubrandenburg, Germany, Laux started writing electronic music in 1998 after discovering a talent for meticulously sampling and looping audio.

His unique take on music making has him sharing the company of artisans like Pheek, Ezekiel Honig and Marc Neyen. Laux has become notorious for manipulating foundsounds and employing layers of field recordings in his work. In a discography that stretches back to 2006, there remains a prevalent underlying passion for the obscure. His signature sound has earned a wealth of international support on innovative imprints like Microcosm Music, 31337 Records, Archipel, Dewtone Recordings, Sleep Is Commercial and Unfoundsound.

In the last years Laux dived deeper into cinematic sounds, ambient, experimental sound desgin and soundtracks. So it happened that he starts his own label ‘Seasides On Postcards”. Therefore we are very proud that he gives us a glimpse of his future vision in music. His POOLcast is an exciting journey throught movie scores and experimental ‘Maschinen’ - music.

Lay back.

POOLcast 007 - Storlon

Storlon, born in Switzerland and grown up between mountains. Turned 18 he left his home and gained experience in California and Geneva. Filled with moments of life he decides to return to his beloved mountains of the swiss alps.

This journey, a grounded lifetime and a network of fellow musicians reflects in his sound which always balance between wanderlust and a cosy nostalgia. Sometimes weirdly melancholic and sometimes jazzy, dubby and dancy but never cheesy. So it isn't a surprise that he is involved in many different projects. Starting with the Berlin based collective of UNOIKI, to a jazz combo called Cash System Industry up to Klubmed a moniker together with Wondermachine’s Andres Marcos.

And wondermachine is also the right word to discribe this POOLcast. No matter what you put in or which program you choose the result is unexpected. Colored, dark, cotton, starfish, elephant - doesn’t even makes any sense but the outcome is always deeply wonderful.

Press start and just wait what’s happening.

POOLcast 017 - Sven Laux

We are in the middle of our second season and the year of 2017 is starting to transform. The days are getting longer and the shadows shorter. Grey becomes blue, brown turns into green and stiff becomes vivid, a change that cycles every year. But there are also transformations that aren’t frequently and obvious: The alterations, which happen in life - uncontrollable without a definable start or end.

Sven Laux is going through one of these transformations. In his early years he was known for his minimal techno. His remarkable way of microsampling, his use of textures of glitches and cuts paired with rolling grooves became a trademark for him. With time passing by he increasingly made use of synth sounds, pads, chords and atmospheres. Then he reduced the beats, the first downtempo track was released. Sven played more and more with keys and synths. The first ambient and drone tracks appeared in his discography. He studied the structure of orchestral compositions and became obsessed with soundtracks. This led to the first sound work for trailers and even award winning films like Courage.

It’s about time to take a closer look at his ongoing change. A year ago we invited Sven for an episode of POOLcast. And even in this past year you can clearly hear how his music changed. Back then there were drones and scapes, ambient music with clusters of experimental textures. Nowadays the transformation into a composer of soundtracks is nearly finished. The second POOLcast episode of Sven is full of soundscapes, pianos and strings, beautifully arranged.

You are invited to witness this audible transformation.

POOLcast 022 - PLO

We have published twenty-two POOLcasts in a row, now. Music by 20 different artists. Unique pieces from all over the world. Canada, USA, Colombia, France, England, Switzerland, Australia, Sri Lanka, etc. and many more to come. But there is one in our line up which has a special meaning and also delivers the core spirit of the POOLcast the most - PLO.

POOL Lab Orchestra is the core of everything that THE POOL BERLIN and POOLcast define. Bringing people, knowledge and art on all levels together, especially while PLO meetings with its basic idea of live jams and visuals. During PLO's sessions, countless artists were involved and new ones get invited again and again. Each session is a unique and independent experience. Musicians and their instruments, whether on a laptop, synthesizer, drum computer or modular system, perform music together without any rules or genre restrictions. Loud, quiet, fast, slow, straight, broken, warm, cold, bright, dark. All sorts of conditions a session can adopt. Sometimes coherently in a marathon lasting several hours or sometimes quickly fluctuating in a few minutes. 

The recording, which is now released as POOLcast 022, was created at a meeting of 7 artists. Namely Matt & Mark Thibideau, Dr. Nojoke, Demas, ANN, frOm KaraOkE tO StardOm and Waldboot. Played on 2 laptops, Elektron Digitakt & Octatrack, iPad, Korg Mono­logue and 2 modular systems.

POOLcast 022 - PLO

POOLcast 023 - Benjamin Fehr

The final episode in the second year of our POOLcast series. Its the time of the year again, when the days become dark earlier and some of us already getting new vision for the next year. “Dark” and “Clear” is also a credo of Benjamin Fehr, creator of the POOLcast 023.

Mr. Fehr is a well known part of the electronic music scene in Berlin since decades. With his productions on Grow, Nervmusic, his own imprint Catenaccio and appearances as a DJ, he is also known beyond the national borders. “Groove Noir” is title of his events series and even the best term to describe this musical works. Minimalistic, dark but always with a special emotional timbre such as unagitated grooves that animate to move.

For POOLcast, Benjamin dug deep into the dark corners of his record collection and made his selection with a clear vision. The result is an intensive ride between ambient, vintage and a little flavor of punk. Nothing more to say, listen and to say it with the words of Benjamin …

“Stay dark and clear.”

POOLcast 028 - L/N/A

For episode 028 we invited L/N/A. She is a Berlin based artist who “loves to collect and assemble all kinds of experimental, psychedelic sounds, found ones and homemade instant compositions. Presenting them to people and inspiring spontaneous contemporary dance - sessions on the dancefloor gives her great pleasure”.
Perfect conditions for a POOLcast submission. Challenging the listeners with something new and usage of distinctive material is one of the top priorities on the POOLcast agenda. Her work is fulfilling, impulsive, versatile and has an almost divining core. The mixture of instrumental pieces, mesmerizing voices, vivid objects and jazz excursions sounds like stories from the past and the corresponding demand of a new departure.
Spring.

Library #1 - What I Always Wanted to Say

The POOL Berlin The POOL Berlin launches its music project orientated division called POOLtracks in 2018.
The Library is a series of compilations aiming to present music from the members and the worldwide network of The POOL Berlin. 'What I Always Wanted To Say' is the first release of the Library series. A compilation to present music from the POOL core members ANN, Waldboot, Demas, Dr.Nojoke, Sven Laux and Ray Dansky due to be released on April 27th via bandcamp. 

Library 01 - What I Always wanted to say

With all the personal projects and those of THE POOL BERLIN - such as the POOL lab orchestra, the KITCH EN Parties, the POOLcast and now POOLtracks - sometimes the most important thing gets into the background: To take the time to tell each other that you have the feeling that you are doing the right thing here and now with the right people. That all the ups and downs that life has brought to every single one of us, the events that have brought us together and the visions that we share have led to a clear decision to invest power, time and passion in a common future. With the certainty that further turbulences and 
transformations will not distract us from our dreams and visions.

"What I Always Wanted to Say" is an expression of our confidence, a manifestation of our friendship and inspiration for the future.

Sven Laux - Almost Back

POOLcast 030 - Collab Special - Übü ( Thoreau + Khmgnff )

Thirty is a special number, for this reason we have a special for today's POOLcast. We asked Thoreau and KHMGNFF to give us a glimpse of their collaboration project ‘Übü’. KHMGNFF, as we know from our 3rd episode of POOLcast, is managing the Micromod / Microrama Label, is into jazz, minimal and ambient. Thoreau back in the days, the time she made the 4th episode of POOLcast, was also into drone, ambient and minimal. Over the years Thoreau reconnected with her techno spirit, which always was on the brink of breaking through. Both gained experience, skills and dreams over the last years they made music. Which makes Übü the perfects example that the result of a collaboration of two artist is more than the sum of its parts. Thoreau and KHMGNFF sharing a friendship, a common taste in music and complement each other seamlessly when making music. When you put it all together it’s seems like any other art collaboration. But in this case the outcome of one plus one is more than two. When the other one let you get access to your inner voice and something new vibrate within you, you creating something more than just art.

For POOLcast Übü gave us a dark, minimalistic episode that descends into a deep techno journey.

POOLcast 032 - Ditch

Summer POOLcast number two. For 032 we have invited Ditch from Japan, who currently lives in Berlin. Ditch is a long time member of the electronic music scene, with release on label as minibar, microcosm, kalimari to mention a few. His music currently employs modular experiments and jazz progressions embedded in minimalist ambiences.

For POOLcast Ditch provided us a recording in tribute to jazz. Fieldtextures and soundscapes serving as a foundation which he paired with brushed percussions and plucked synth sounds. Enjoy.

POOLcast 036 - PLO

We starting off season four of POOLcast. A good moment to bring an all time favorite back, PLO. Recorded at a session with Demas, ANN, Dr.Nojoke, GNILYF and the artist formerly known as from karaoke to stardom. For the third appearance of PLO in our POOLcast serie, they need no further introducing - a unspecified number of artists playing an full improvised set with computers, samplers, drum machines, modulars, pedals, springs, tape machines etc. But before we lapse into nerd talk or similar, we just leave you with a quote by Stanley Kubrick this time. 

“The most terrifying fact about the universe is not that it is hostile but that it is indifferent, but if we can come to terms with this indifference, then our existence as a species can have genuine meaning. However vast the darkness, we must supply our own light.”

POOLcast 038 - Hainbach
 
Happy new year to everybody. The POOL Berlin wishes every single one of you health, safety, joy and love. No matter where the journey will take you, you have the power to make the most of it. Like Theodore Roosevelt once said: "Believe you can and you're halfway there."
 
The next chapter in our journey takes us deep into the realm of analog noises and magnetic fields. We invited Hainbach to create the first episode of POOLcast in 2019. Hainbach is known as musician, music technologist and YouTuber and provides us with a selection of unreleased material. In his pieces he mangles aggregators, transforms vivid rhythms to shaking grooves and mutates playful melodies to mesmerizing scapes. Good foundation for a proper winter couch voyage.
 
Get a cup of bliss and enjoy.

POOLcast 041 - Meow the Seventh
 
Spring is around the corner, time for a new face. For our 41th POOLcast we invited Meow the Seventh. She provides us with a selfcrafted live project that perfectly bridges the last cold days.

The time of the year to finally banish scarves and gloves to the depths of the wardrobes, when the trees fill their old veins with life again, the first brave sprouts push their offspring through the soil and the air fills up again with sounds beyond mechanical origins. A feeling arises that everyone describes differently, sometimes it is the feeling of wanting to tackle something new, sometimes it is the thought of having overcome something or simply the inexplicable feeling that comes with looking at green foliage against a blue sky. No matter what images and feelings go through your mind when you think of the upcoming spring, you will find them in Meow's work. A piece characterized by resolute synth lines, promising soundscapes, dynamic grooves and vibrant tonal structures.

Grab your headphones and enjoy.

POOLcast 043 - Collab Special - Infinite Monkey Theorem ( ANN + Waldboot )

We end the first half of 2019 with another Collaboration Special. The Infinite Monkey Theorem is a very special one for us as it represents the longest overdue musical collaboration between Marcus Block and Sebastian Mehl, the driving forces behind POOLcast production. 

The musical identities of Marcus and Sebastian have now been firmly connected for almost a decade. The foundation for this was laid by the jam sessions in the studio of the trio 'Three Apes', where they discovered their shared enthusiasm for live electronic music with Ray Dansky. After joining forces with Dr.Nojoke and Demas, who shared the same passion, The POOL Berlin, POOLcast and PLO were born. But until the beginning of this year, there was no project of the two that had its own name or that they shared with the public. Infinite Monkey Theorem is the platform they needed to take the next step in their musical development. Long story short, two guys with synths and keys pushing buttons and turning knobs with leads to drone, ambient, jazz and experimental.

Enjoy.

POOLcast 043 - Collab Special - Infinite Monkey Theorem ( ANN + Waldboot )

POOLcast 046 – Sven Laux

After having presented mostly new faces in the last issues, it's time again to use POOLcast as a platform for our local community of musicians. We love to accompany the development of artists and their visions. That's why we've invited Sven Laux again for the September issue of POOLcast. He has undergone a remarkable transformation in his work in recent years. As an artist you are, like every human being, subject to constant change, this concerns your own work, your sense of self, your own personality and your social environment. If we look at the artist's pieces anachronistically and detached from the person itself, we could accuse the artists of indecision, but if we are able to place the works in the right temporal context, completely new perspectives open up for the viewer.

Sven, who was about to set up his own label Seasides on Postcards when he last appeared on POOLcast, now has three wonderful CD releases in his catalogue and the fourth one is about to happen. Sven Laux is continuously working on his vision of the fusion of melodic ambient, emotional drones, fragmented acoustics and modern classical music. The mixtape that Sven made available to us was created a little more than two years ago and shows impressively that apparent indecisiveness often turns out to be exactly the opposite. At that time Sven was still well known from his Minimal Techno releases on relevant labels like 31337, UNOIKI and Sleep is Commercial, but already in this recording his future change seems to manifest itself in a magical way. Melodic fragments, emotional soundscapes, granular textures and a clear vision, which at that time might have been called indecision, but today is quite the contrary.

Art is more than pure work.

POOLcast 050 - Video Special - From Berlin with Love - Demas b2b ANN, Marlene Magnoli, Dr.Nojoke

More than 5 years ago we organized one of our first big events together with "Mischwerktanzen" and "Licht Aus!" under the name "The POOL Berlin". "From Berlin with Love" was the result of the effort to finally present our vision to the public. Back then POOLcast was just an idea for the far future and now we look back on 50 episodes. Made possible by artists from all parts of the world, using a wide variety of genres to entertain our audience, which is also at home all over the planet. Once again, we can only thank the artists who inspire and drive us with their creativity, as well as the listeners who share their enthusiasm with us.

The artists who participated at that event were Alicia Hush, Marlene Magnoli, Demas, ANN, Dr.Nojoke, Ana+one, Florist and akustooptik. This episode shows a 5 hour cut of the live stream and the recording of the performances of Demas b2b ANN, Marlene Magnoli and Dr.Nojoke.

Happy New Year.

POOLcast 055 - Fønø

With this episode of our POOLcast series we present you another facet of our longtime companion Fønø. As a platform dedicated to artistic freedom, we believe that it is important to support and accompany artists in their artistic development.

With this certainty Fønø has sent us one of his latest works. A piece with his own live compositions, collaborations and songs by other artists. The result is a fabric of dark textures, beautiful mystical atmospheres, classical acoustics and almost physical presence. This fabric, which seems to envelop you like a veil of vibrations. A fabric that allows you to descend into an ancient abyss. An abyss that seems to become bigger and more challenging with each further exploration. A dive in which the constantly driving feeling of certainty that surrounds us in everyday life is more and more replaced by the hunger for venture, the primal longing for the unfathomable. A desire that is often covered with material or ideological things in our modern society. Only rarely are there times when human beings and society leave certainty behind and courageously descend into an abyss to fathom it.

A deep journey into a beautiful abyss.

POOLcast 056 - Franco Bellavita

For the start into the second half of the year we invited Franco Bellavita to record a POOLcast for you. Franco has dedicated himself to the world of creativity for years and moves between visual and sonorous media.

Looking at Franco's work, be it his early musical works under the moniker Pachyderme on 31337 records or sleep is commercial, or the works he created with his analog camera, you will notice his commitment to pure, free and unbiased art. This is underlined even more by his further career. Ambient, jazz, drone, analog photography and handmade collages speak for his dedication to art, which, when you look at it, raises the question of what came first, the work or the inspiration? Does devotion create art or is devotion a product of art ? This mental dilemma regarding causality is also reflected in Franco's POOLcast. The construct of ambient, drone and jazz creates a musical palindrome, where the listener has to face the question of causality. What is beginning, what is end, what is the notion, what is the work. Everything interlocks organically and meaningfully, so that it seems difficult to determine whether the idea has become a work of art or whether the work creates an idea. 

Enjoy.

POOLcast 062 - Demiurge

For our first POOLcast in 2021 we have another highlight from our own POOL Roster for you. POOLcast 062 by Demiurge is a modular exploration that goes from ambient to drone to techno. Demiurge is a project by Thomas Bäz, dedicated to the worlds of controllable voltages and modular sound design. Worlds that are often hard to put into words or images, but only become tangible through experience.

The magic that modular sound generation and processing has on the operator is often difficult to convey to the listener or viewer. It is very easy to fall back on simple theories, figurative ramblings about electrical engineering and textbook psychomotoric phrases in order to make something tangible that draws its fascination from the unpredictability of life and nature. Therefore, it is always a challenge to make this well consumable and intuitive for the listener and still maintain the allure of the uncontrollable in the end. Demiurge is fully committed to this mission and has provided us with his latest achievement as POOLcast.

Enjoy.
