Since launching in 2018, Pieter Jansen’s yeyeh label has excelled at delivering unusual and inspired collaborations between artists who have never worked together before. Jansen’s desire to bring together musicians, composers and producers from different disciplines – for example classical Theremin player Carolina Eyck and previously club-focused electronic musician Eversines, or legendary Dutch jazz singer Greetje Bijma and off-kilter ambient artist Oceanic – has resulted in some genuinely magical, transformative and unusual music that defies categorization. To continue the series, the Amsterdam-based curator and label owner has looked East to the Polish jazz underground. 

‘Sariani’, yeyeh’s latest collaborative release, brings together two stalwarts of Poland’s vibrant experimental jazz scene: saxophonist and composer Jerzy Mączyński, who impressed with his 2019 debut album ‘Jerry&ThePelicanSystem’ and Waclaw Zimpel, a much-travelled clarinet player whose most recent releases cleverly combine the slowly shifting electronic textures of ambient with his deep-rooted love of experimental and free-jazz.

‘Sariani’ has its origins in the friendship between Mączyński and Zimpel that developed during the early stages of the global Coronavirus pandemic. After many happy hours spent discussing life, music and Indian culture – the latter a shared interest that would shape future recording sessions – Mączyński offered Zimpel the chance to join forces on what he initially intended to be his second solo album. Over the eight months that followed, recording sessions in two separate Warsaw studios saw the set – a far-sighted meditation on Mączyński’s travels to India – develop into a genuinely collaborative production and a unified artistic vision.

The pair lay down a marker on opener ‘Raga or Raga’, a musical translation of the Book of Rag where increasingly expressive saxophone – a mixture of undulating, stretched-out solos and droning motifs – metamorphose as the track progresses, cleverly matching the increasing intensity of the trance-inducing modular electronics that bubble beneath before surging forwards towards a breathless conclusion. You’ll find a similar musical narrative – albeit with bolder free-jazz notes and more intense electronics – on the album’s closing track, ‘Pools Games’.

‘Temple of Jetsu’, an especially spiritual composition, fuses the melodic cycles of classic minimalism with similarly slowly unfurling electronic motifs and luscious ambient textures, while the title track – a meditation on the plight of women in India – delivers a beautiful but sometimes uneasy mix of densely layered minor-key sax sounds, exotic and intoxicating solos, off-kilter electronic rhythms and enveloping synthesizer textures.

Guest musician Szymon Wójcik, who had previously travelled to Nepal with Mączyński, provides glistening guitar textures on ‘Everest Inn’, a kind of musical translation of a Himalayan sunrise. Like the track that follows, the tactile, soft-touch joy of ‘Katakhali Masks’, ‘Everest Inn’ offers a new blueprint for ambient jazz. It’s this distinctive musical fusion – the acoustic and the electronic combined with the mystical and far-sighted – that marks out Mączyński and Zimpel’s first collaborative work. It’s a genuinely revelatory and intoxicating album.

People & Places w/ HENRY - September 2021

@martin_gilleshoej 3 hour warmup dj-set at Ved Siden Af (@etandetsted)for Dispell night in September, 2021

"Hi y'all. Hope you'll enjoy this recording = ) 
One of the needles were a bit fucked, which resulted in some of the tracks is a bit glitchy. I sadly didn't manage to hear at the club, but decided to upload the recording anyway since i had such a good time playing all kind of tracks that a warm-up set allows"

We're delighted to present @Eversines new album on ninih. "Dwang" brings together his most personal work thus far, this record being Remco's outlet to process and make sense of difficult experiences. Unsurprisingly, this results in an exploration into a darker, trancier side of his musical spectrum. 

The two of us having developed a deep bond over the years is clearly reflected in how this album came together. It's the third collaboration between the two of us, of which many more to come! ❤️

The 'Dwang' album will have 500 copies pressed and is out 20th of April at your fav record web/store.

________________

Since 2019, Amsterdam-based curator Pieter Jansen has used his yeyeh label as a vehicle for carefully considered (and sometimes unlikely) ‘first time’ collaborations between different experimental and avant-garde artists including Eversines, Carolina Eyck, Greetje Bijma and Oceanic. 

He’s done it again on the imprint’s next release, which is the result of a week-long collaboration between Berlin-based Polish saxophonist/composer/producer Jerzy Maczyński (whose previous collaborative release with Waclaw Zimpel as Jerry&ThePelicanSystem appeared on yeyeh in 2021), celebrated Chicagoan DJ/producer Hieroglyphic Being, and Amsterdam-based electronic artist Rein De Sauvage Nolting (RDS, who originally functioned as recording and mix engineer) – as well as countless hours of intricate post-production. 

Those who attended Dekmantel Festival 2023, where Hieroglyphic Being and Maczyński performed live together as Universal Harmonies & Frequencies for the first time will know what to expect – namely far-sighted and futurist explorations that blur the boundaries between electronic-acoustic improvisation, avant-garde electronica, rhythmic ambient, free jazz and Hieroglyphic Being’s distinctively distorted, next-level Chicagoan rhythms. This act was accompanied by live visuals by Katarzyna Debska/VLF, who later created the artwork and visual language for the record release. 
That performance, which took place at Muziekgebouw/BIMhuis, occurred a little over 12 months after the week-long residency in a rented studio below Volkshotel that laid the foundations for the project. Over five days, Hieroglyphic Being (synthesisers, vocals) and Maczyński (saxophones, vocals) laid down 26 extended improvisations, with Rein de Sauvage Nolting not only acting as recording and mixing engineer, but also contributing artistic input. 

Following the session, Jansen and Rein Sauvage Nolting selected 13 tracks to provide the basis of an expansive double-vinyl album. While some of those spontaneous improvisations remain in-tact on Tune IN, many more were reconfigured, reworked and re-produced by Maczyński and Sauvage Nolting over over many months.Maczyński added more layers of instrumentation, creating a “whole band of reed instruments” using electronic tools – a method he previously utilized on 2021’s Jerry&ThePelicanSystem album, Sariani. 

As a result, Tune IN is an adventurous and experimental album rooted in real-time improvisation that not only reflects its’ creators’ unique musical personalities, but also delivers a genuinely unique and far-sighted collaborative sound. It begins with the stretched-out, slowly building brilliance of the title track – think waves of synth sounds, complimentary reed instrument motifs and spaced-out, effects laden beats – and ends with the hallucinatory exoticism of ‘Emerald Tablet’. 
In between, you’ll find forays into densely layered free-jazz (‘Can U Hear The Hum’), percussion-powered rhythmic cubism (‘Breaking Open The Head’), shuffling dancefloor tone poems (‘Multidimensional Transformation’, where Hieroglyphic Being delivers a typically spiritual spoken word monologue), becalmed ambient jazz (‘The Book of Forbidden Knowledge’), expansive synth-scapes (the Tangerine Dream-do-Sun Ra style ‘The Fifth Style’), dystopian drum machine-powered workouts (‘Searching 4 Spirituality Without Religion’) and countless, impossible-to-pigeonhole cuts that sit somewhere in between. It’s a magical and mystical meeting of musical minds that counts as one of the most expressive and inventive artistic collaborations of recent times.

________________

Since yeyeh brought them together in 2019 to record their first collaborative album, Swallow a Party, Oceanic and Greetje Bijma have become firm friends. The connection they first felt in the studio has led not only to the regular exchange of musical ideas and song sketches, but also lengthy conversations about life and art.

One of the strongest connections that helped shape their growing creative partnership is not musical, but personal. Both grew up in coastal communities at different ends of the Netherlands and the sensory impact of living close to the North Sea and Wadden Sea, respectively, made a long-lasting impression.

This connection gave them an idea: why not use the Wadden Sea, an intertidal zone of the North Sea situated between the Frisian Islands and the Dutch Coast, as a thematic inspiration for their next album. Oceanic and Bijma exchanged memories of wonderous wetlands, the salty smell of sea air, seemingly never-ending tidal mudflats, the distinctive calls of rare seabirds, and the look and feel of local flora and fauna. 

When they gathered in Studio Het Rode in Roderwolde for three days of improvised recordings based on existing ideas, Oceanic and Bijma set out to create music, through a mixture of voice and electronics, inspired by the mental sounds and images that appeared when they thought about the Wadden Sea’s celebrated landscapes. Extended improvisations were recorded, before Oceanic edited them down and they collaborated shaped the finished versions with added texture and structure.

The resultant album, Sykheljende Lûden (Frisian for “breathing sounds”), wears its central inspiration lightly, with many of Bijma’s startling and expressive vocalisations and Oceanic musical motifs subtly hinting at tidal flows, bird calls, and the comforting feeling of home that the environment stirs in both artists. It is not ‘landscape music’ in the strictest sense of the term, but rather music partially inspired by their personal psycho-geographies and nostalgic memories of their former coastal homes.

Sykheljende Lûden is frequently both majestic and mesmerising, with Bijma showcasing the full dynamism and expressiveness of her vocal range and Oceanic conjuring electronic sounds, rhythms and textures that combine his long-stated love of both club music and emotive experimentalism. From the bubbly bliss of opener ‘Away From Home’, to the ambient-operatic moodiness of closing cut ‘Peace In Mind’, via the soft-spun sweetness of ‘Golden Sun Skin’, spaced-out minimalism of ‘Dripket’ and the rhythmic creepiness of ‘Veugel’, Sykheljende Lûden is a unified artistic vision that owes as much to the duo’s coastal roots as it does to their evolving creative partnership.

After already working on yeyeh005 together /w https://soundcloud.com/0rds0, it was more than overdue to do a solo EP together. Our lives crossed over ten years ago, and the past six years saw us grow into a deep friendship. All four tracks were made around the time of preparation for a Breakfast Club ADE 2021 with De Lichting live. Three years later, we are releasing these solo club cuts.

The fresh artwork is made by Nol Cobben - as with all ninih records it’s a vinyl-only release. Pre-order now via https://soundcloud.com/oneyewitness and soon to be found in every relevant recordstore ;).
