Name: Glory is a Poison by Islandman
Duration: 4 min 20 s
Description: First EP of Tolga Büyük's solo project 'islandman' .

„Nanu?“ – this little interjection in the German language expresses wonder, surprise and a curiosity for what has just been presented to you. It playfully resembles the title of our release „nanou“, produced by Zurich based trio @ali_dada, whose dreamy and unwinding music has indeed aroused our curiosity, surprised us, made us wonder and keen to dive deeper into their world of soothing soundscapes.

This EP may be seen as a soundtrack for moments in which you feel free from capitalist tension. Catching up on Jenny Odell‘s advice in „How to do nothing - Resisting the Attention Economy“, the mood of the songs may be a dedication to the idea of #NOMO – „the necessity of missing out“. An opposition to the overstimulation of our everyday life: „This idea of doing nothing is trying to give permission to have some emptiness.” We affirmatively embrace this idea as an invitation to pause, recline and laze while listening to those 4 calming songs. It‘s the assent to an idle that has facilitated the realization of this EP for ali dada. Obligation-free time opened up spaces for ideas and sketches to flourish. „zwueschetag“, as a „day in between“ originated in the beginning of the pandemic and describes a tool for ali dada to handle the uncertainties of a life without stability. „345“ is the street number of an off-space (www.345off.space), where the trio has recorded and produced their music, and which provides a vibe that allows them to engage optimistically in these fickle times of live.
In ali dada‘s productions you‘ll ever find a playful combination of elements from various, rather distant genres. References to experimental ambient vibes meet the love for jazzy, psychedelic guitars and warm, mellow hip-hop beats. In extended jam sessions they reflect on how the sounds feel to them and how they actually want the listener to feel. And indeed you seem guided – to slow down, linger and listen carefully. As the 3 musicians are sensible for imperfections and glitches you often can hear tiny, subtle elements, such as snippets or field recordings in the background. It‘s these little acoustic surprises that expand the space for dreaming and shape a cosmos in which you want to close your eyes and drift away in airy realms or sparkling beach water.

Peter Power & Psilosamples - Erva Dos Sonhos

Un precioso y profundo tema de una artista y musica poderosa , que me viene siguiendo desde hace muchos años; entre varios sueños, una buena trampa y esperando el momento justo logre atraparlo!!!

Era una habitación grande.
Lleno de gente.
de todo tipo.
Y todos habían llegado al mismo edificio más o menos al mismo tiempo.
Y todos eran libres.
Y todos se hacían la misma pregunta:
¿Qué hay detrás de esa cortina?
Usted nació.
Y así eres libre.
Así que feliz cumpleaños.

*************************************

A very precious and deep song from a great artist and musician, that has been following me for many years; Between some deep dreams, a good trap and the waiting for the right moment ; at leatst i catch it !!!

It was a large room.
Full of people.
All kinds.
And they had all arrived at the same buidling at more or less the same time.
And they were all free.
And they were all asking themselves the same question:
What is behind that curtain?
You were born.
And so you're free.
So happy birthday.

♫ Fresh release ♫
...from artist Mike Gano. This one's an organic adventure intertwining an "electrified" hang drum with haunting vocal stabs and a rolling groove.

Unsigned. Unmastered. Untapped.

Reversed strings and low-pitched drums oppose a rolling baseline and sharp percussions, only to get elevated into perfect harmony through addition of the dreamiest of melodies.
