Using the loop as more of a tool than a rule, Ezekiel Honig's emotively warm electronic-acoustic music nestles into a comfortable, shared space between melodic, event-driven ambient, muted techno, textural downtempo, and slowmotion house. Using these genres as reference points from which to stray, Honig uses everyday objects and spaces amidst processed instruments, tethering to our physical universe while eschewing any concerns of figurative reality. Plastic, metal, wood, and air coalesce with Rhodes, guitar, horns, and piano, creating a sound of contrast and contradiction, pairing inviting, fuzzy chords with clunky and dirty mishaps. Honig finds this sense of balance - of past and future, acoustic and digital, abstraction and concrete immediacy - by grounding himself in the idea that a sound can be a representation of infinite stories, emotions, possibilities, and simultaneously be just a sound to be used in a work of audio.
 
After more than a decade of releasing music - on both his own Anticipate and Microcosm imprints as well as like-minded labels such as Type, Unfoundsound, and Other People - in 2014 Honig completed his first book, Bumping Into a Chair While Humming: Sounds of the Everyday, Listening, and the Potential of the Personal, an exploration of the sonic potential in everyday objects, spaces, and interactions. With a focus on the benefits of a strong listening practice and the search for a personal soundscape, Honig took steps towards formalizing methods he has exercised instinctually in his own sound productions.
 
Whether it is curating a body of work by other musical artists, creating visual art, scoring a film, developing an online curriculum for sound production, or writing a book on his sonic philosophies, Honig's directive has always been centered in connecting threads, on using sound as a focal point that allows spilling out into various disciplines.

   german bio:
Udos Sohn. Architekt. Minimalist. Riese.

Vielleicht verwundert letzteres Attribut und wohl, es gibt solche und solche Riesen. Raue und ruhige. Mit den wenigsten möchte man sicher märchengeprägter Erfahrung nach Freundschaft schließen oder gar gemeinsam in minimalistischen Klanglandschaften schwelgen.

udosson entstammt jedoch einer bisher unentdeckt gebliebenen Familie von Riesen, welche sich nicht nur durch ausgesprochene Freundlichkeit, sondern auch durch ihr feines Gespür für Details und Klangfreuden auszeichnet. 

Seine frühen Jahre verbrachte der ruhige Riese aus dem idyllischen Vogtland damit, die natürliche Dramaturgie seiner Klangwelt zu studieren. Wenig später wagte er sich an die Königsdisziplin seines Volkes, das klangliche Sehen. Das Resultat: udosson - Klicks und Sphärik, millimetergenaue Nuancen und sensible Soundbastelei.

2007 der 1. Schritt nach Draußen. udosson veröffentlicht seine erste EP – excelsior – eine musikalische Adaptation des legendären 'Projektes Excelsior' in 6 Akten. Wir erinnern uns, Joseph Kittinger unternahm Ende der 1950er drei Fallschirmsprünge aus 30km Höhe… 

2008 erschien udossons träumerisches 'probabilities auf Digital Kunstrasen, 2009 folgten 2 exklusive Tracks auf MOMA Recordings. Im Mai 2010 erscheint nun mit „kurz unter land“ udossons langersehntes Album-Debüt auf Petite:Unique Records. 

Es wird Zeit, die Furcht vor Riesen zu überdenken …
