Despite all the collaborations on last year’s Amygdala by Pampa cult leader DJ Koze, there was still one recurring comment from the public: The album still had DJ Koze’s trademark stamp all over it. That is why have been taking the proper steps to rectify this problem, offering a remix series, to further disassociate DJ Koze from this otherwise respectable assortment of songs. Here is the second installment.

First up is Roman Flügel, co-founder of the legendary label powerhouse Ongaku/Klang/Playhouse, not to mention his more recent releases on Clone and Live At Robert Johnson. We have no idea what kind of app he used, but somehow he transformed the title track “Amygdala” from a laid-back, wind-chiming electro-pop number into a clock-working tech-house fairy tale. Roman wisely and tastefully retains the original guest spot from Milosh (of the duo Rhye), offering a grittier backdrop for his lulling vocal delivery.

Next comes Robag Whrume, who is no stranger to any Pampa fan, having released an album and a mix CD with us, aside from his countless other works. Here he has taken the pleasant puffiness of DJ Koze’s “Nices Wölkchen” and incubated it in a deep house cocoon. The witch-shifted voice of guest singer Apparat is given a new life, hovering amidst a mesmerizing mechanical groove. As always, there’s nothing formulaic about Robag’s formula as he serves up little moments of magic.

"It's just incredible" – Mary Anne Hobbs, BBC 6 Music
“Strangely upbeat nocturnes" – The Wire

‘Spells’ merges programmed piano pieces with live instruments, combining the controllable technical world and the often unpredictable aspects of live improvisation. In some ways it continues where his underground debut ‘Gravity’ left off, though a lot of weight is lifted, making room for a lighter and more energetic listen. Friend and fellow Erased Tapes artist Nils Frahm mixed and mastered both albums. Ben is not a master pianist like his dear friend, but his sound collages are so meticulously designed that after hearing the result an impressed Nils declared: “from now on, if anyone asks – this is a real piano”. 

His intricate, humanised programming – enhanced by drummer Achim Färber, cellist Anton Peisakhov and harpist Lara Somogyi, and a considerate selection of echoes, delays and compressors – has been used to create a hybrid sound that intends to deceive, question and challenge existing listening habits. Utilising the contrast between reduction and decoration, ‘Spells’ can be seen as a quest to find out how much or how little composition is required to constitute a song. Why the ear can and should be deceived about the authenticity of instruments. What significance these instruments have within this process, and why the personal perception of balance and sound exclude ultimate truths. 

Linking the two albums are the four movements of ‘Nocturne’, an ever-developing conversation that on occasion flirts with the grandeur of compressed rock drums. The first single, ‘Golden Times 1’, received a world premiere by BBC 6 Music’s Mary Anne Hobbs, proclaiming it as "incredible." An alternative version of ‘Sleepers Beat Theme’ – composed for the soundtrack to a short film about the Trans-Siberian Express – opened Jon Hopkins’ Late Night Tales album from 2015, who noted “I thought it was such a calming and sensitive piece that sounded to me like the beginning of something...the warmth and depth of the sound entrances me every time”. 

Though ‘Spells’ and ‘Gravity’ are his first albums recorded under his own name, as acclaimed electronic producer HECQ he’s released nine albums since 2003, exploring everything from ambient to breakcore. He has simultaneously established himself as a trusted composer and sound designer, working for a wide array of clients including Amnesty International and Marvel Comics; composing for feature films, games, art installations and convention opening titles.

After embracing this demanding line of work, in 2010 Ben felt the need to explore his roots and early education, which inspired these albums under his own name. Born in 1981 as the third child of opera singer Deirdre Boysen and actor Claus Boysen, his classical music training on piano and guitar began when he was seven years old; the works of Bruckner, Wagner and Bach laid an important foundation. Rediscovering this music shared with his parents – united with the sounds of Autechre, Cristian Vogel and Jiri.Ceiver to Pink Floyd and Godspeed You! Black Emperor – brought back an understanding of why he wanted to write music in the first place.

“Finding my views understood, reflected and welcomed by Erased Tapes was an encouraging experience, crowned by the offer to release ‘Spells’ and re-issue ‘Gravity’ with them. Through many caring conversations with Robert I felt that there’s no better home for the existing ideas and no better cradle for new ones.”  – Ben Lukas Boysen

Taken from: Hologram İmparatorluğu
Release Date: November 11th, 2016
Glitterbeat Records

Istanbul has a deep, layered history. From its beginnings as a fishing village to one of the pillars of the Roman world. The final stop on the Silk Road. The centre of the Ottoman Empire as the Turks spread their huge net across the Middle East. Across the centuries the city drew in cultures and blended them. Growing up there, singer-songwriter Gaye Su Akyol breathed all that in every day, along with her family’s ancient roots in Anatolia. Those rich traditions combine to form part of the sound she’s developed on her album Hologram Ĭmparatorluğu (Hologram Empire), where sultry Turkish melodies twine around spiky, twanging guitars and insistent rhythms.

“When I was young, we visited Anatolia every year. I had the chance to observe and realise the different perspectives and practices of cultures. That made me feel closer to the diversity of Anatolian civilisation. But when I heard Nirvana’s Nevermind for the first time, my mind blew up. I discovered other Seattle bands, then people like Nick Cave, Joy Division, Sonic Youth, and Einstürzende Neubaten.  A bit later I heard Jefferson Airplane’s “White Rabbit.” The dark, mellow mood of the music, the use of the instruments and the vocal technique of Grace Slick greatly inspired me and led me into psychedelia and then surf bands.  What they all did seemed to fit with older Turkish singers I loved like Selda Bağcan and Müzeyyen Senar.”

The daughter of acclaimed Turkish painter Muzaffer Akyol, Akyol earned a degree in social anthropology and worked as an artist before creating music took over. She experimented, feeling her way towards her vision. And when she met the band Bubituzak, something clicked. They understood what she was doing; they became part of her art. Together they recorded her debut, Develerle Yaşıyorum, in 2013, following it with acclaimed, masked performances in Turkey and at festivals across Europe.

That first disc seeded the ground. The new album, Hologram Ĭmparatorluğu, bears the full fruit of the partnership. It digs deeper, fired with a seductive, shadowy passion. The thick swirl of Oriental strings on “Hologram” plunges towards the heated boil of “Fantastikir Bahti Yarimin.” The dark lullaby of “Dünya Kaleska” weaves a haunted post-punk spell before building to the album’s climax “Berduş,” where spaghetti western guitar cracks over a propulsive rhythm and a sensuous Anatolian melody. The sound is cinematic and gorgeous and Gaye’s luminous voice brilliantly orchestrates these shifting moods.

In Gaye Su Akyol’s universe, the past becomes folded into the present and launched into the future. Hologram Ĭmparatorluğu is heady, powerfully intoxicating and beautifully dangerous.

“Your art is something you have to find yourself,” Akyol says. “I’m looking inside my consciousness to my culture. I love rock but there are hidden things in my subconscious. Call it Turkish art rock if you like.”

Past, present, future.

Her music, her art.

94.9 Açık Radyo ile Multi Kult FM Berlin ortak yayınımız olan “Dünya’yı Dinliyorum” programına hoş geldiniz. Bu hafta ilk defa programımıza konuk olacak bir grup var karşımızda. Lisa Jen ve Martin Hoyland tarafından 2015 yılında kurulan 9Bach konuğumuz. Kuzey Galler’den gelen ekip oldukça ilginç, atmosferik ve yerel ritimlere yelken açıyor. Bu hafta Real World Records etiketi ile çıkan en son albümleri olan Anian’a kulak vereceğiz. İlk parçamıza geçmeden önce grubun adının anlamını sizlerle paylaşmak isterim. Normalde dokuz Bach olarak düz çeviriye bakabiliriz. Elbette bu kadar sığ değil grubun adı. 9 Galler’de Nain olarak telaffuz ediliyor. Normal rakamın yanı sıra Kuzey Galler’de aslında büyükanne anlamına geliyor. Bach ise ufak anlamına geliyor. Ayrıca sevgi belirtisi olarakta kullanılıyor. Bir dilde dokuz bir rakam olacak kadar sıkıcı bir kelam iken Galler’de çok duygusal bir anlam ifade ediyor. Grubumuz vokal, piyano ve Harmonyumda Lisa Jen, Gitar ve perküsyonda Martin Hoyland, bateride Ali Byworth, Bas gitarda Dan Swain, Arp ve vokallerde Esyllt Glyn Jones ve arka vokallerde Mirain Roberts’dan oluşuyor.

Beyond The Wizards Sleeve have announced details of the release of 'Black Crow', the latest single to be taken from their recently released, much acclaimed debut album 'The Soft Bounce'.
 
Released on Phantasy October 7th, 'Black Crow' is the third single to be taken from the album. Part American Gothic, part future movie soundtrack, it’s a song of haunting beauty. Holly Miranda's vocal glides across reflective strings and delicate crystalline snippets of sound, resulting in an epic torch song lament. It’s backed with White Crow, Erol Alkan's mighty extended reworking of the song, placing it in spacious widescreen, where you can hear for miles.

Bir Pazar gününde daha 94,9 açık Radyo’da yayınlanan Dünyayı Dinliyorum programımıza hoş geldiniz. Geçen hafta Kongo’da programımızı noktalamıştık.
Şimdi aynı ülkeden gelmiş geçmiş en sorumlu sanatçılarından birisini bu bir saat boyunca sizler ile tanıyacağız. Bu Kongolu solistin sesini albüm boyunca dinlerken ritmik dalgaların üzerinde asıl huzur içinde süzüldüğünü fark ediyorsunuz. Sakin arka vokallerin desteği ile sanatçı adeta müzikten bağımsız ama bir o kadar da parçası. Bu tür etkileşimleri dinleyince batılı sanatçıların ne kadar gergin ve sert olduğunu fark ediyorsunuz.  Zira Batılı sanatçılar yaptıkları işte iyi olsalar bile bir şeyleri kanıtlamak için gereksiz strese giriyor. 
Bunu parçadaki melodileri ezerek, mutlak hâkimiyet kurmak gibi bir hırs ile gerçekleştiriyorlar. Ortaya çıkan eserler ise basıklıkları ile dinleyeni boğabiliyor.  Oysa bu albümde şarkıcı tüm grubuyla birlikte müzik ile akıyor, kuvvetli duyguları zorlanmadan sesinin müziği ezmesine imkân vermeden gerçekleştiriyor.  Yapaylık, zorlamalar veya kasılmalar müzikten arındırılmış durumda adeta şarkılar solisti söylüyor gibi. Sanatçımızın adı Madilu System .
