Christian Fiesel
“Zealandia”
Music and production by Christian Fiesel CC 2020
Dedicated to Amy
photo and design by EMERGE
The music of the album Zealandia speaks the language of longing. It is about the eighth continent, on whose back lie the islands of New Zealand, among others. This album is very, very quiet and that’s the way it should be. It was recorded in March 2020 using only a memotron.

Slow Children & Area – Zima E.P.
[tonAtom.141]
Slow Children & Area
“Zima E.P.”
chicago, in the middle of deepest winter. snow covered. at this time of year, the title track of this e.p. was created as a collaboration between slow children (whom we welcome as a new artist) and area (most recently in 2009 on “objet trouvé” [tonatom.103]).
“zima” means winter and this is reflected in the meandering, powerful, deep, ambient opener. five alternative interpretations of this work take up different aspects in a new way, continue it with a new focus and complete this e.p. this is far from being a ” one original title and remixes” release, but rather presents six very different variations of a theme combined, which allows an attentive listening as one piece.

Asylum Connection – Grey Worlds Fill Empty Words
[SR223]
Asylum Connection
“Grey Worlds Fill Empty Words”
“Everything you feel is a part of me, I have carefully hidden or crushed it for so many years. She always came back to me, and I fought her to the point that I hurt myself trying to disavow her. This project was born when I broke that vicious circle. That day, with shame I shred that taboo I had for noise and for the most violent and uncompromising instincts of myself. This sound has always been inside me.
I mainly used contact microphones, objects, guitar pedals, but I try not to set any limits to what I do. I want to thank for the patience/trust/support my wife, Nicola and Omar, Teresa, Federico & Adonai, RecycledFab and Mai12 for the inspiration.
Asylum Connection is:
“A long time to fight the self-destructive spirit. And then one day I put myself aside and I left him free, free to express himself, to move objects, to bring sounds where he wanted. Not me against myself, but me together with the most intolerant part of my spirit. Together we create these sounds and visions.”

ref/inter – For Hans Jenny
[EEM056]
ref/inter
“For Hans Jenny”
The album is dedicated to the Swiss scientist Hans Jenny and his work in the field of Cymatics. The visual aspects of sounds that can be revealed through the movement of matter inspired me to try and recreate these experiments. Trying out cymatics led to a certain understanding which sounds create patterns and which parameters influence these patterns. These sounds were not necessarily harmonious in the sense of Western music theory, however, they have proven to be a fascinating asset in my sound archive. Some of the sounds that are part of the album For Hans Jenny were recorded as early as 2010 and they were turned into a performance in 2014. Afterwards, the sounds were dormant in my hard drives only to be revived in the EE remastered version.

Brainquake – Adrift
[mhrk247]
Brainquake
“Adrift”
Brainquake is Marc, originating from the mail-art/tape-art scene in the late eighties and composing and collecting sounds since then under this moniker and few others. Ranging from ambient, soundcollages to electro, dark wave, from noise to industrial or even poplike tunes embedded in electronics or, the way he himself labels his sounds on recent releases, “endzeit emotronica”, the music of Brainquake is allways lengthy, strong in build-up and quite often heavily emotional.
On “Adrift” we hear Brainquake as a deja vu from his first releases: an intro, an outro, dissonants blending into bleakness, waves of emotion rumbling. The feeling of being adrift in a world of depravity and desillusion. Brainquake’s music takes time, time to evolve and time to be taken in. It’s about chaos blending in structure and blending out again. There seems to be no place for optimism in here but, in the distance, or in the details, there allways is. These sounds and this overwhelming sadness you feel like bad chemical taste from within, are not to simply to be listened to but to be unavoidably felt. Patience and darkness are our friends.
Released July 3, 2020
All sounds collected and processed February-May 2020
Recorded during a live session on May 2 2020 at Hemel Centraal, Belgium.

Gurdonark and Lee Rosevere – Harmony
Gurdonark and Lee Rosevere
“Harmony”
This project began over 2 years ago, when Gurdonark posted a tweet to MrDoob’s online art-site Harmony, and I suggested we each draw four pictures, and then other had to compose a piece of music to match the drawings.
Through many delays (including a cross-country move for myself) the drawings and songs were completed and you can see each drawing by clicking on the title of the song. If the music is by Gurdonark, the corresponding drawing is by Lee, and vise versa.
Gurdonark:
“Although I resist the impulse to believe that all instrumental music should trace back to a narrative or image in the way of a tone poem, I find my own music frequently arises from a feeling or a tells a kind of story. I liked that in these songs the two artists each created a single-image narrative, however simple and unadorned, and then used one another’s images to create new songs. A bit like a shape-note singing, the important thing was not the skill or lack of skill in the creation of the images or the music. The important thing, in image or song, was to participate and share..”

Pandacetamol
“A Different Place”
Pandacetamol is turning into a regular feature on Kahvi in recent times, this time he’s back with a twelve track album of minimal beats, dark factory atmospheres and a tasting of Autechre influences.
Off key leads, glitchy, shifting direction constantly. Something to chillout to in the summer sun with an ice cold beer or two.
Watch out for Pandacetamol’s retro sound of choice – classic acid.
