What a year! 

We met so many great artists, made a bunch of new friends and had one heck of a summer. 
Watching this community grow bigger made us want to create an appropriate picture of the things that already sprung from it and also of things to come. 

Trying to condense all the creativity that came to life during the past few months, we put together something that reflects our journey and features as many of the directions we're headed in as possible. 

♥ Thank you all for the love and support so far ♥ 

Teil 2 is coming soon!

Sissel & Bass shall live forever and ever

Peder Mannerfelt - Sissel & Bass (Perko Dub)

Experimental trio Giraffe crystalize time on ‘Desert Haze’, their new LP on Marionette. Giraffe is the musical project of Sascha Demand (guitar), Juergen Hall (keys), and Charly Schoeppner (percussion). With only a couple of releases to date on the wonderful Meakusma imprint, little is known about Giraffe.  After letting go of other artistic projects, the trio now focuses solely on Giraffe by continuously searching for and finding their own unique language.

Sascha, Juergen and Charly have quite diverse musical backgrounds, though morphing into Giraffe they tower into one single composer. Their music is a critical statement, not in a political sense but rather an artistic one. The trio is mindful about what it means to create and how to position themselves as artists nowadays and in no way are concerned with the constant hassle of being en vogue and short-lived trends - affirming their rather rare and stoic artistic stance, an expression that has developed ever so naturally and refreshingly honest to witness.

On Desert Haze, they’ve created a vibrant and minimalistic tribal sound that feels inspired by the Saharan traditional music of the Tuareg, Jazz, and German psychedelic krautrock. Giraffe themselves list the radical music of the Viennese School (Schoenberg along with his pupils Berg and Webern) as well as the Köln School with its early electronic experiments as their main influence and inspiration. More precisely the composition process and the organization of musical material within space and time, where a conceptual and intellectual approach melds with an experimental yet expressive sound searching method.

Side A focuses on the trios studio work; it is built around tone color and pitch analysis of resonating prepared guitar sounds. Through a unique mixture of free improvisation and a serialism "rule set”, Giraffe develop instrumental layers and structures to form their tracks. Side B sees Giraffe playing more freely with a reduced setup - representative of what you may hear when listening to the trio live.

Desert Haze, along with its track-titles, showcases an almost mimetic approach to art. The haptic music grabs the listener not as a passive recipient but as an active resonant body to vibrate through. One can almost feel the Elements, pressure and heat forming a diamond, hypnotic overtones ringing through windy caves, shamanistic rhythms conjuring up mysterious and ancient landscapes - where the constant cycle of sedimentation and erosion reveals structures of fragile beauty - always gentle to the hand’s touch and the mind’s eye. 
Desert Haze will be released on vinyl and digitally end of October 2019. The Artwork by Benjamin Kilchhofer may very well be the entrance to the entombed sounds we hear on this album. Thanks Sascha, Juergen and Charly!

Lyrics:

Don't talk to me
'Bout nobody
If they ain't around
To hear your sound

Don't talk to me
'Bout nobody
If they ain't around
To hear your sound


Say you we ride
Through the night
Won't you set me up
For one last fight


Don't talk to me
'Bout nobody
If they ain't around
To hear your sound

Don't talk to me
'Bout nobody
If they ain't around
To hear your sound


It's a winning strategy
For a losing streak
It's driving in reverse
In a one way street


Don't talk to me
'Bout nobody
If they ain't around
To hear your sound

Don't talk to me
'Bout nobody
If they ain't around
To hear your sound

Don't Talk To Me

ATOA feat. Keto - Pura Verdade (Original Mix)

It's a pleasure to premiere this track by @andiotto & @f-s-blumm for you, part of their new wonderful collaboration album released on @pingipung. 

Andi Otto & F.S.Blumm: Entangleland
LP / digital
Pingipung 070
APR 3 2020

F.S.Blumm enters Andi Otto's studio with a whole palette of strings and a mission to create quirky, peaceful soundscapes. The artists intertwine acoustic and electric guitars, harps, electric bass, psaltery and cello in eleven electronica compositions ranging from neo-classical gravity ("Entangleland") to spaced-out dub jams ("Active Fault Map"). "Yukiyama" evolves in multilayered patterns braided over warm tape-noise. "Kilani" reminds of Rabih Abou Khalil's ECM recordings, with its oriental scale and a beat that counts to seven. The tunes shine most when silence takes over, when the sounds find space to unfold and decay. Far from being trivial ambient lullabies, these compositions burst with detail: Bells rattle, a kalimba resonates, and vintage synths induce their voltage into the acoustic framework.

Andi Otto and F.S.Blumm have been musical collaborators in the studio as well as on stages between Berlin and Tokyo for more than a decade now, the heyday being their previous duo album "The Bird And White Noise" in 2014. 

On "Entangleland", Andi Otto contributes the cello, harp and synth recordings and takes care of the mixing. Compared to his recent releases on Multi Culti or Shika Shika, these tracks are less dancefloor oriented. The calm of this album is a flourishing environment for Otto to pluck the acoustic cello which we usually hear in a more processed way in his solo works.

F.S.Blumm contributes guitar and bass recordings as well as saturated percussion echoes from his self-made spiral box. Blumm is famous for his acoustic solo productions since his early outings on Morr Music or Tomlab. He has also appeared on Pingipung a few times, for example with his album "Up Up And Astray" or as a Lee 'Scratch' Perry collaborator with the "Quasi Dub Development" project. He recorded three duo albums together with Nils Frahm and is a member of the mighty "Jeff Özdemir & Friends" collective in Berlin.

"Entangleland" sees the two artists weave together a mass of acoustic motifs, synthetic melodies, riddims and improv jams where the magic emerges from the sum of the parts. "It's not about accompanying a cello theme with the guitar or vice versa," Andi Otto says. "Entangling sound means letting go of hierarchies, that no one is first. Our studio is not a control room, it's a place of imagination where we take things apart and make things whole."

Llorona Records presenta:
SUTILEZA - CERRERO FEAT. COLADERA

i. Sutileza
ii. Sutileza (Versión de alborada)

ENG

Sutileza is Cerrero´s new single featuring Brazilian duo Coladera. The release features two versions of a guitar driven hypnotic acoustic track with deep powerful percussion recorded by Canalón de Timbiqui´s rhythm section. Longing poetic lyrics about the strange feeling of tense calm and distress experienced during these pandemic days and the soothing need for contact are sung by amazing Vitor Santana.

Cerrero has become one of Colombia’s electronic music scene sought after names and his dub approach to roots infused electronic music keeps delivering enchanting tracks pushing boundaries to create a fresh sound.

ESP

Cerrero presenta su nuevo sencillo en colaboración con el duo brasileño Coladera. La entrega nos presenta dos versiones de Sutileza, canción que fue compuesta y grabada en el estudio de Llorona Records durante la gira de Coladera el año pasado por Colombia. La primera versión conserva la intención original de la guitarra acompañada del ensamble de percusión de Canalón de Timbiquí grabado en Cali. La hermosa voz de Vitor Santana, los versos que evocan la tensa relación de calma y angustia que vivimos en estos días de aislamiento, así como el anhelo de contacto y cercanía, crean una mezcla que embruja y que sumados a la producción hipnótica de Cerrero agarran por dentro. El lado B, la versión de alborada de Sutileza, lleva el sonido de la canción al territorio de la electrónica etérea y minimalista, que respetando el origen orgánico y acústico del arreglo, acentúa el peso de los bajos y la repetición de algunos de sus versos más poderosos para llevarnos a la sombra que acompaña la primera entrega de lo que será la nueva producción discográfica del proyecto liderado por Diego Gómez.

PORTUGUÉS

Cerrero apresenta seu novo single em colaboração com a dupla brasileira Coladera. A entrega nos apresenta duas versões do Sutileza, uma música que foi composta e gravada no estúdio da Llorona Records durante a turnê Coladera no ano passado na Colômbia. A primeira versão preserva a intenção original do violão, acompanhada pelo conjunto de percussão de Canalón de Timbiquí gravado em Cali. A bela voz de Vitor Santana, o violão de João Pires, os versos que evocam a relação tensa de calma e angústia que vivemos nestes dias de isolamento, bem como o desejo de contato e proximidade, criam uma mistura que enfeitiça e que se soma a A produção hipnótica de Cerrero se agarra lá dentro. O lado B, a versão inicial do Subtlety, leva o som da música ao território da eletrônica etérea e minimalista, que respeitando a origem orgânica e acústica do arranjo, acentua o peso do baixo e a repetição de alguns de seus versos. Mais poderoso para nos levar para a sombra que acompanha a primeira parcela do que será a nova produção recorde do projeto liderado por Diego Gómez.

Lyrics:

You have always...
You have always known...
You have always known how it was meant to be...

Maybe all along it was you and me,
Maybe all along we were drifting out to sea,
Maybe all along....

You have always cast your Love out to sea...
Maybe all along we were drifting out to sea... just you and me.
You have always cast your Love out to sea,
In your desperate tiding,
To set yourself free.

You cast your love to the Sea…
(…Everywhere that I go )
In your desperate tiding to set yourself free…
(I’m just sailing along…)
You have always cast your love out to sea,
(And you don’t even know what you’re missing out on…)
…In a desperate tiding to set yourself free…
(Baby, won’t you come on and take my hand…?)

You have always… You have always cast yourself…
You have always cast yourself and your Love…. out to sea…
You have always cast your Love… out to sea….

You can't see it because of the angle with which I took the shot, aiming down, but beyond those blocks is the sea.  To the left is the Mediterranean, to the right is the Atlantic Ocean.  No it's not Gibraltar, but a little bit further West. ... Actually I checked recently and it is further North more than West, I thought I was facing South when in fact I probably was facing the Atlantic ocean, which is why I suppose the waves were of a decent size where we were.

I have not been able to recover access to my other account [https://soundcloud.com/ha-kekong] for a couple of years.  Don't be mad if I have not replied to your message in the past two years, that's because I never got them ; ) ... You can always reach me here though.

I'm trying to promote what I think is good music, so if you want to help out a bit I'd rather you [like] or [repost] my *playlists* rather than my field recordings, if you don't mind, unless you are a die hard fan of those things. Thank you ; )

I speak French, so if you send me a private message, and that you are a francophone, please write in French, thank you.  ... I mean, you don't absolutely have to, but I would prefer it. 

All my field recordings (except for when I record a person) are public, freely downloadable by anyone who is able to click on the button.  I encourage anyone interested to use them in any way whatsoever, on purpose or accidentally. No need for permissions or credits or any other kind  of administrative maneuvers.

I'm a big fan of EFF.  Love ya EFF.  (no connection with the above line)

Now don't be lazy, go find out what it is this "EFF" that I'm talking about.  I'll give you a hint: it has to do with computers.

You have a nice day now.  Hugs & Kisses.
