On Hyperdelia’s first release »Erster Teil - Zweiter Teil - Dritter Teil« the recording studio takes eight musicians on astral travelling. The Serenus Zeitblom Oktett’s album is the beautiful result of a complexly processed abstraction of a live acoustic jazz ensemble becoming a hyperdelic space tentacle, reaching into bass depths and pop dimensions: one moment zooming into microscopic miniature sounds only to branch out into free floating airy planes in the next.

»Erster Teil - Zweiter Teil - Dritter Teil« is the debut LP of the Berlin based ensemble Serenus Zeitblom Oktett. The Oktett from Berlin consists of musicians with a broad pop, free jazz and contemporary music background. All eight musicians have worked in various formations and with various musicians, ranging from Efterklang’s Martyn Heyne (who also did post-production on the record) and Matthew Herbert to Ingrid Laubrock, Stargaze, Andromeda Mega Express Orchestra and many more. These diverse backgrounds inform the Oktett’s artificial but organic live sound-production aesthetic.

The ensemble is accompanied by a ninth member, the Klanggestalter. Both in the studio as well as live every instrument is being amplified and processed by filters and live algorithms, neutralising the difference of acoustic and electric instruments.

The LP comes with a special video documentary by Roman Hagenbrock (i am just a video girl). The video adds another poetic layer of abstraction: confusing sound, action and image.

Sean Hellfritsch (Cool Maritime): SOUND + PROCESS #2

Usually, the Bahnar gong ensemble consists of three bossed gongs and seven to ten flat gongs. Each of the gong players holds and hits a gong tuned to a different pitch, including octaves, repeatedly with variation of timing to create an interlocking pattern. This produces something akin to melody and rhythm. Generally, the players of the flat gongs are responsible for the melody, while those playing the bossed gongs handle the accompaniment. In addition, one ensemble member plays a large, double-sided drum to lay down the basic beat.

In funeral rites, the sound of gongs functions as a bridge connecting the land of the living to the world of the dead, and they play gongs at the house of the deceased all through the night.
