Home Comforts returns with an episode on Reading.
The mix represents finding a quiet space, diving into a parallel universe within the confines of the paper, and through written word expanding your own interpretations and ideas.

For this recording I selected a handful of avant-garde/ambient records from Japan, music that floats around your ears rather than intrudes, aimed to be perfect for reading words.

"Zwischen Uns" is the debut movie of the German director Max Fey, featuring Liv Lisa Fries, Jona Eisenblatter, Thure Lindhardt, Lena Urzendowsky, Corinna Harfouch a.o.

The movie narrates a minimalistic story about a mother who is torn between exhaustion and loving affection for her son whose mental condition does not fit into the norms of the educational system.
After the premiere at Hofer Filmtage in October 2021 it is now showing in selected cinemas in Germany, distributed by Wildbunch.

This is Andi Otto's first full-length film soundtrack. He took a unique set of electronically extended instruments to his studio in Hamburg to compose ten reduced, emotional sound tableaus for the movie. The music was subsequently slightly edited to fit the format of this soundtrack release.

The soundtrack releases June 16, 2022

All music written and produced by Andi Otto in Hamburg 2021-2022.

Lost Son Found (OST "Zwischen Uns")

For our second guest mix, we chose someone who defies the boundaries of music, Acid Pauli.

When we spoke to Acid Pauli, he let us use an older mix that meant a lot to him, Peace. With our collective growing up by the sea in Brighton the mix speaks to the atmosphere around the town, and the ability to take people on a journey through varying emotions with similar but diverse tracks is exactly what we aspire to create with After Hours.

Acid Pauli's music defies boundaries, inspiring us to break free from the constraints of a single genre. His genre-blending style effortlessly merges diverse influences, from house and techno to folk and jazz. With a masterful command of both electronic and organic elements, Acid Pauli creates captivating soundscapes that transcend traditional norms.

Peace

House blend tape from the early 2000's I made. Sound quality's not the greatest because it was recorded out of my basic analog mixer straight into a 3.5mm microphone jack of a Gateway desktop computer. I tried to clean up the mix as best as possible.

All vinyl...no serato, baby.

M.RUX: Vermonische Melodien

Vermonische Melodien is a collection of compositions by DJ-producer M.RUX, made with old VERMONA machines from Eastern Germany. The nine Electronica tracks can’t conceal their influences from Exotica records of the 1960s as well as their fondness for vintage music technology. We hear voices singing lullabies (“Magische Time”), mumbling chopped up syllables (“Seelnatrax”) or reciting a Shakespeare quote (“Bakelit”) - are they real? Yes! But they are mostly generated by the world’s first speech synthesis hardware, the IBM 704 from 1954, and processed into off-key melodic beauty with vocoders.

"I’ve always been especially curious about musical visions from the 1970s", says M.RUX about his inspiration for Vermonische Melodien. "Those nifty Vermona machines can today be seen as future machines from the 1970s. They seem almost mystical to me. Like relics from an epoch long ago… and I wanted to find out, how music from that time could have sounded." On the album M.RUX uses, above all, equipment by Vermona, a brand from Eastern Germany manufacturing electronic musical instruments in the "Klingenthaler Harmonikawerke“ until 1990. The company was founded as VEB Klingenthaler Harmonikawerke in the 1950s, who also produced home-organs under the Weltmeister tag before the name Vermona was finally established in 1972. The drum machine VERMONA ER-9 (1976) was not only the first instrument which M.RUX ever possessed (or does it possess him?), it also forms the rhythmical backbone of M.RUX’s studio on this record. The melodies on the other hand have mainly been played on a Vermona Formation-1, a suitcase synthesizer from 1980. Although these two machines are joined by countless other instruments and effect units from all over the planet, their particular soft sound is present in every single moment of this soothing album. "I also take a deep bow to ‘Lacky’ Reinhard Lakomy who passed away 6 years ago", M.RUX adds. "His releases were the first electronic instrumental records on the Amiga label which has been a huge influence for my work in general and this record in particular."

M.RUX has appeared as a solo producer with his „In the Hold“ (2016) on his own YNFND imprint. Before that he had become famous for his edits which gently transform songs by Nina Simone, Townes Van Zandt, Tom Zé and many more into slow, dancefloor-ready gems. Pingipung is proud to present this first full-length album by M.RUX. He is not only a talented multi-instrumentalist and original producer but also a skillful remixer - as he has shown twice to the Pingipung audience in the last two years with his touches on Umeko Ando’s Ainu folklore songs.
