BLOODY MARYS WITH AN ANGRY GODDESS (TAPE / CASSETTE)
Tape / Cassette 13.09.21
ein kurzer besuch auf der indochinesischen halbinsel zur falschen zeit, als die weltweite pandemie ausbrach, führte ian richter zu einem mehr als eineinhalbjährigen aufenthalt in vietnam und zu einer tiefen liebesbeziehung mit der vietnamesischen volksreligion. ian war fasziniert von einem ort voller kultur und mystik, der hand in hand mit dem hyperkapitalismus existiert (obwohl er offiziell dem sozialismus verpflichtet ist).
im laufe der letzten 18 monate hat ian die klänge seiner begegnungen und erfahrungen geistig und körperlich aufgenommen. vom täglichen leben über industrie- und naturlandschaften bis hin zu altem und modernem tanz, wobei er das fremde mit dem vertrauten, die mystik mit der wissenschaft und die klaustrophobie mit der befreiung verband.
the premise of this album is that transformation is possible. it frees the known to dare into the unknown. home stories is hainbachs fourth release on seil records. it displays an uncompromising approach to sonic world-building and explorative ambient music. the majority of home stories was recorded in the black forest, the artists old home, but the album is far from a reflection on the past. it is about the changes this area has seen and more importantly, about transformation in general. as humans have always been changing the landscapes - for better or worse - hainbach takes a tentative listen to what can be found in taking the well-known and changing it to the uncanny. thus the piano, which often serves as a compositional root sound and familiar element changes over the course of the tracks, is abstracted, re-synthesized, shaped into abstract forms, and relocated to physically impossible places. produced & mixed by hainbach. mastered by salz mastering artwork by nasa design by aoki & matsumoto
der deutsche produzent, der die grenzen zwischen abstraktem beatmaking, hardware experimenten und weiteren explosiven, clubtauglichen produkten auslotet.
from raster-media, frank bretschneider as komet on side i, & olaf bender as byetone on side ii - revised versions of tracks from benjamin brunn 2019 blundar7 lp.
repress! following up on his contribution to the first five years of tears compilation, randstad steps up to the bill and delivers his first solo release for pinkman records. 6 tracks ranging from twisted industrialized beat trax to brain melting weirdo dance. a great cross-over record for adventurous djs and fans of the cold, minimal diy sound of the 80s alike.
die neue v.a. auf misbits recordings trägt den passenden titel eternal poet und ist der zweite ausflug des labels in die welt der klangkunst und des experimentellen ambient.
