During my first visit to Tashkent, capital city of Uzbekistan and former Silk Road, I recorded these tracks during a three week stay, including field recordings. I was overwhelmed by different languages, different soundscapes, different smells, different atmospheres. All this shaped the creation of the recordings youll hear. I invite you to experience my first impressions of Central Asia through these sounds.

Tunist Dasa - UZB [Systolic Label]

We dream of travelling through the universe: is not the universe in us? We do not know the depths of our spirit. The mysterious path goes inwards. Eternity with its worlds, past and future, is in us or nowhere.

"Pyrmont is back on insectorama. After his opening track of the 100 compilation episode 1 he shows with his new ep what epic length, depth and dense atmosphere mean. 4 tracks that go together for over 70 minutes and are absolutely unique. Dive deep into its sound and forget about reality for 70 minutes and enjoy this dub techno masterpiece."

Pyrmont - Eternal Truth

Pyrmont - In Search Of Evidence

Pyrmont - Float Through

"The 20th release on Pragmat is a 12-track album by Markus Masuhr & Tunist Dasa. These tracks go far away from any straight structure and dive deep into a dystopian world. An oppressive narrowness spreads and pulls you into the deepest abysses and lets you hypnotize into a strange world full of shifted sound structures."

Reshaping Patterns of the Atmosphere

Tunist Dasa - Biotop#2

Tunist Dasa - Biotop#1

Originally, my Track „Gischt“ was a 40-minute-long live improvisation or meditation as there are breaks as long as some ambient tracks out there. Under „Pyrmont“ I take advantage of the possibility we have nowadays. Before the emerge of the internet, tracks had to fit on a physical medium, like vinyl/cassette/CD for selling. We often seem to forget that conventions have been formed through historical developments. Almost to counteract this, my tracks under this pseudonym tend to be extensively long. If you discover ethereality in an ambiance, linger within its embrace.

By revisiting the original version, a part of it was released as a track on Markus Masuhr's label "insectorama", especially with this sonical extension, I have carefully selected two exceptionally long field recordings that complement the title and the aural spectrum. With a playing time of 40 minutes, field recordings are more suitable in that they can unfold more, reproduce an atmosphere in greater detail and have more time to mesmerize the listener. Thunder and the subsiding rain of summer 2020 accompany you throughout the track. After the first break, you find yourself in Numana, near Monte Conero, whose midnight wave breaking seems to be driven by the pulsing of the kick. In this amalgamation, the cancellation of temporality becomes clear, which falls into each other through the composition of field recordings at different times and spaces. Where else can we be in several places at the same time, even if only sonically, but more and more resonates when we hear such original sounds as those of the sea or the rain. A cycle that closes. A new sensation that is evoked. And we haven't even taken into account the expansion of space, which is achieved through reverberation effects and sometimes swells, mixes with all elements, and then develops structure again. Transformations and  metamorphoses of what is heard.

Pyrmont - Gischt (Extended Field)

It was just supposed to be a youtube livestream of a generative sequence with non-linear feedback, that allowed me to listen to it for hours during a scientific revision I was doing on my laptop next to the eurorack synthesiser, but after 40 minutes I couldn't resist the modular possibilies next to me and started feeding in recordings from my field recorder, including a granular effect that is constantly being fed with new snippets and non-linear-feedback. The latter was inspired by Gunnar Haslam's analysis of classical generative music through a marxist perspective and its liberation through feedback systems, inspired by Norbert Wiener and cybernetics. The result is a feedback-sound design that resembles animal noises in many spots and sounds organic to my ears.

This session includes an unreleased 18-minute piano composition from myself, a jazz-like track by my wife and several field recordings from Istanbul around August 2023. All of this was underpinned by a generative sequence that flows into the XAOC Odessa and seems to adapt chameleon-like to everything that is played.

I hope you enjoy this exceptionally long session and we'll chat on youtube the next time I do something similar.

Imperfekt Mixtape #1

Audio signal [96kHz/32bit] goes directly into my Scarlett Soundcard without any external effect, just the internal reverb and delay of the synthesizer. The first minutes I play the chords by myself, after that using the sequencer which can be also set to 1/8 step resolution instead of the 1/16 I used. There is also a possibility to use swing and - beside the Tempo knob - decrease the BPM in the sequencer edit mode to 10 BPM. enjoy

The clicks you're hearing in the mid of the track is just because I've changed the Time of the delay and switch to different types for demonstating purposes.
