Joachim Stiller – Music For Wireless Telegraphs
[mhrk398]
Joachim Stiller
“Music For Wireless Telegraphs”
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.
Credits:
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.

Valentina Maza – Busco espacio
[pn232]
Valentina Maza
“Busco espacio”
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.

felsteg – Hold
[djummi.031]
felsteg
“Hold”
Matt and Dave named their project Felsteg, which is Swedish for misstep. And this is certainly not due to a lack of conviction in their shared musical work. Rather, and on the contrary, the name describes their approach to music quite well for me. On “Hold” you can hear two experienced live musicians who consciously decide to “misstep” when playing. Misstep as an opportunity!
The music on the album was created live and spontaneously. Starting with rudimentary song ideas, they played sessions together in which improvisation became the means to flesh out the basic ideas. At the same time, these sessions were professionally recorded on multiple tracks in the studio, then supplemented with additional elements and mixed at the end.
On their debut album, Matt and Dave managed to create songs that, despite all their complexity and jazz affinity, are characterized by a pleasant lightness and catchiness, even naturalness.

Y-DRA – HOREG
[YES NO 111]
Y-DRA
“HOREG”
Horeg is a Javanese term to refer to the sound vibration, in certain cases, it can break window glass or knock off the rooftop. The term was popularized by the speaker competitions in East Java, Indonesia. They travel from village to village in a convoy of trucks while playing very loud electronic music tracks. Horeg is a festival of sound by the grass root people, to occupy public space and amplify their voices that are mostly unheard.
The grass roots are often expunged from society and deprived of all rights as citizens. They are sacrificed for the interests of the ruling class, from political interests to control of natural resources. Nowadays, the class differences are becoming clear, for example in the hierarchy of death which determines who can be sacrificed for the benefit of the higher class. Homo sacer* among us; millions of lives were taken, land seized as if it were normal. The ruling class supremacy is constantly maintained above the others’ suffering.
Horeg is a celebration of sound, sound of rage. Horeg is a homo sacer, who puts up a small resistance in a party. Although by no means anything, it continued to become louder, while planting the seeds of resistance.
The music on this album started from the ideas of grassroots communities party/celebration in Indonesia. From Dangdut, Jathilan, Sumatra’s Orgen Tunggal to Margondang’s funeral party. The music is then placed at another alternate time, in a series of furious noise compositions.
*Homo sacer is defined in legal terms as someone who can be killed without the killer being regarded as a murderer; and a person who cannot be sacrificed.

[mhrk394]
Somnoroase Păsărele
“AUTO[2]”
Released May 5, 2024 as free (cc) digital download and limited cassette edition.
“From the get-go, it’s been pretty obvious that there is no set formula or path to Gili Mocanu’s Somnoroase Păsărele project, with no strict rules that would block off one approach or another – just a commitment to working in the moment and staying open to whatever signals are there to be channeled. Frans de Waard summed it up quite well in his notes on the first ‘AUTO’ installment, saying “It is a bit of everything; one can hear the influence of techno music, industrial music, minimalism, and cosmic synthesizers […] and while they are finished as compositions, I don’t think these pieces are to be understood as pop songs”, adding that the vibe is more about stimulating the mind than moving the feet.
This collection brings together a different set of pieces into the self-contained system that is ‘AUTO’, weaving them together into a new whole possessed by the same spirit, where unusual sounds are rejuvenated, recycled and transmuted into a resonant landscape that feels like it has a life of its own.” –MMercury
