Two one hour sound works inspired by and based on, and I quote: “the ominous feeling of winter, dark clouds, the fear of getting lost – and nesting somewhere that feels safe”.
Influences include the soundtracks of Petscop and Nier: Automata, Autechre, 7038634357, COIL, ‘Tomorrow, In A Year’ (The Knife, PlanningToRock, Mt. Sims) and a recurring nightmare.
Released on Mahorka June 17, 2024 as free (cc) digital download and limited double cassette edition.
Commissioned by Sanneke Kleingeld, one of Radio Tempo Não Pàra’s curators, for their ‘ik houd het nest warm’ radio program that aired on the 15th of December 2023.
TNP’s curator Kleingeld had heard an episode of Sounds Between Here and Nowhere (a radioshow by Luca Heydt and Mees Joachim) on Big Toilet Radio and proceeded to discover the artist’s Paradise Mixes made for the 2023 Birds of Paradise exhibition – which featured many unreleased tracks made under Mees Joachim’s Joachim Stiller, Absolute Candor and Zalmroze monikers – and proceeded to commission the artist to create a special mix for the radio station.
The sound work began to live a life on its own – becoming a sound collage of self-sampled unreleased works and new recordings centered around, but not limited to, synthesized sound.
As a fairly ambient / new age sound was warranted for the occasion, Mees Joachim took on their Joachim Stiller moniker to create two entirely original 1 hour sound works, with ‘Radiophonic Sound bath #2’ being the selected piece to be aired on Radio TNP.
The Stiller moniker has been around for a while, albeit used for art / karaoke performances, installations and video works prior to 2023, when it was first used for a music release: ‘And The Overstaying of Welcomes’ in collaboration with Absolute Candor.
Joachim Stiller’s debut album, ‘In Shallow Water’, was released by Bad Boy Jesus Tape Club in April 2024. With these two sound works, released on Mahorka in May 2024, expanding the sound of Joachim Stiller even further.

Performed, Produced, Recorded, Mixed, Mastered, etc. by Mees Joachim as Joachim Stiller in 2023, with some recordings dating back to 2021.
Featuring several synthesizers, sequencers, guitar, harp, trumpet and a Nintendo DS.

Como “composiciones intensivas” define Valentina Maza las piezas que componen su más reciente disco. “Busco espacio” es un trabajo solista ideado, interpretado y registrado en vivo durante tres semanas de residencia artística en el Centro GAM, de acuerdo a un proceso creativo a tiempo real.
Tres piezas electroacústicas y dos remezclas proponen a quien escucha reflexionar de cuántas formas se puede “hacer espacio” a través del sonido, pues la música ocupa tiempo, cuerpo, equipamiento, decisiones. “Esa idea fue dando lugar a un sistema híbrido de grabación y a una música que casi no tuvo edición posterior. Son piezas que no quise cortar ni maquillar, en el sentido de que me abstuve de muchos efectos, y dejé un sonido más de cámara”, describe Valentina.
La creadora combina su trabajo con máquinas y viola, como instrumentos principales, con el uso de su voz “como gesto performático, para marcar ciertos momentos. Como sucede cuando se cantan canciones de cuna”, en sus palabras. Puede escucharse como una invitación a insertarse en un ritmo alternativo al del ajetreo urbano, más íntimo y atemporal. En ese “busco espacio” del título hay, en realidad, la creación de un entorno sonoro nuevo.
Valentina Maza defines the pieces that comprise her latest album as “intensive compositions”. “Busco espacio” (Searching for Space) is a solo work, conceived, performed, and recorded live during three weeks of artistic residency at Centro GAM, and arising from a real-time creative process.
Three electroacoustic pieces and two remixes invite listeners to reflect on the myriad ways one can “make space” through sound, as music occupies time, body, equipment, and decisions. “That idea led to a hybrid system or recording and music that had almost no post-editing. These are pieces that I didn’t want to cut or manipulate much, in the sense that I refrained from using many effects, and left a more chamber-like sound” , describes Valentina.
The creator bring her work together with machines and viola as the principal instruments, using her voice “as a performative gesture, to mark certain moments. Like when lullabies are sung”, in her words. It can be heard as an invitation to immerse oneself in an alternative rhythm to that of the urban hustle, at once more intimate and timeless. In the “searching for space” of the title, there is, in reality, the creation of a new sonic environment.

Each track transports you through psychic landscapes and distant worlds across the galaxy, crafting a vibrant long journey through space. This is an odyssey of sound and vision, where every image and note weaves together the mysteries of the cosmos and the depths of the human psyche.
Don’t miss this limited edition release, a true collector’s gem for lovers of the obscure and the sublime.
2024 total remix and remaster.
The VHS offers the full experience with extended tracks and remixes.
Cassette and Minidisc offers other versions, sometimes remixed, sometimes edited to a shorter version.
Twenty rounds later,
spring arrives in full delight,
carrying the heaviness of winter with it.
The moose went across the river,
the wolves howl,
it’s time for the next sting.
Sami Konzo presents three wonderful new tracks, while each song is like a magnificent painting, in which there is always something new to discover and which embraces you so strongly, that not only a lasting impression is created, but also a cosmic cloak is woven around you, that hides you under an invisible heap of longing. At the same time are we living an expression of international friendship with this release, celebrating the unifying language of music, bringing humans together, no matter of other onion layers of reality. The season of the permanence is thus opened. Reopened again.

V roce 2023 mávnul Noční pták opět perutěmi, a to při letním soustředění v Albeři. Během tohoto mávnutí se 5. 8. uskutečnil veřejný koncert (viz odkaz na video od Kryštofa Ziky) a o 2 dny později neveřejné nahrávání s ambicí zachytit a rozvinout témata a nápady, které zazněly při improvizacích během koncertu. Výsledkem je album PRACH.
Přejeme pěkný poslech i pohled.

EN:
In 2023, Noční pták [Nightbird] flapped its wings again at summer sessions in Albeř. During this flap of the wing, public performance took place on August 5 (see link to the video recording by Kryštof Zika) and, two days later, a non-public recording session was organized, with the ambition to elaborate on the themes and ideas brought about on the preceding fully improvised concert. The result is the album PRACH / DUST.
We wish you a nice listening and viewing experience.
