Ike Yard - Sacred Machine (Noiztank) - Ike Yard recombine their music looking across decades of post punk, #electronic, soundtracks and come out with some of their best yet and enough to last the next 20-30 years (in Ike Yardå«s very own words). Originally founded in 1979 New York City, members Michael Diekmann (keyboard, guitar, vocals), Kenneth Compton (programming drums, synths arrangements, bass, guitar, vocals) and Stuart Argabright (programming drums, #synths arrangements, distortion bass, #keyboards, metal perc) reformed the band once in 2007 and again in 2010. Each time different and with new ambitions. This time �Sacred Machine�sª EP is defined by detailed #drum layers supported by multiple basses and keyboards, some off-timing beat patterns that turn in a second of synchrony into a straight four on the floor kick and first time vocal collaborations.

//Linea Aspera

http://tinyurl.com/ydxlfqyb Linea Aspera foi uma banda dark wave-minimal wave formada em Londres, Inglaterra, que estava ativa de 2011 até 2013. Como dupla musical, foram lideradas pelo vocalista Zoè Zanias (conhecido como Alison Lewis enquanto estava na banda), com Ryan Ambridge. Fundada em novembro de 2011, Linea Aspera foi influenciada por bandas eletrônicas da década de 1980. Um crítico escreveu sobre um show em janeiro de 2012 e observou que suas músicas tocavam "muito anos 80" e que eles "surgiram totalmente formados" do underground musical de East London. Naquele mês, a auto-liberação de uma cassete de reprodução estendida, intitulada Linea Aspera EP, foi descrita pelo site Burning Flame como o número um nos seus 20 melhores EPs de 2012. O Signing to Dark Entries Records, o primeiro álbum da banda, Linea Aspera LP, foi lançado em 25 de setembro de 2012. Produzido digitalmente e em vinil por Dark Entries, uma versão de CD foi produzida pela empresa alemã Genetic Records. Linea Aspera deu seu último show no festival Grauzone, em Amsterdã. Em apenas alguns meses, esta dupla de Londres tornou-se uma das bandas mais promissoras do gênero synth-pop. No início de janeiro de 2013, a banda anunciou que eles estavam encerrando o projeto. Seu show em Amsterdã foi, portanto, a última oportunidade para vê-los ao vivo no palco. Peek-a-boo aproveitou a oportunidade única para conversar com Alison Lewis sobre suas paixões e seus projetos futuros.   Entrevista// //Alison, muito obrigado por esta entrevista! Minha primeira pergunta será "Quais são suas paixões na vida e como elas influenciam suas letras"? Minha paixão final é entender a mente humana. Eu já passeei pela educação acadêmica até agora. Primeiro estudei arqueologia, agora estou estudando antropologia com foco na primatologia. Então, estive voltando para o passado humano e agora estou tentando ver como evoluímos. E tudo isso influencia a minha música, porque com cada passo que eu passo para entender melhor os seres humanos, eu posso me entender melhor e posso escrever letras que as pessoas podem se relacionar. Há uma paixão dupla: eu quero aprender e quero criar e estou fazendo ambas as mesmas ao mesmo tempo, o que tenho muita sorte de ser capaz de fazer.   //Eu também leio algo sobre seu interesse em osteologia e fisiologia? Eu originalmente comecei a estudar arqueologia porque costumava amar ossos.   //O nome da banda refere-se a um osso, não é? É a ligação muscular na parte de trás do fêmur. A única razão pela qual escolhemos esse nome era porque era uma boa tradução latina de "linha áspera" e parecia bom. Eu também gosto de inserir alguns temas arqueológicos e osteológicos na música como em 'Reunion'; trata-se de perfurar alguém no rosto e da ordem em que os ossos se quebram. (rir)   //E você também está dirigindo seu próprio vídeo, como, por exemplo, o de 'Malarone'? Sim, eu fiz tudo sozinha. Coloquei a câmera na minha caixa de sintetizador para me filmar. Eu fiz no meu quarto uma noite de inverno em janeiro de 2012. Eu apenas coloquei o conjunto muito rápido, mas fiquei muito feliz com o resultado.   //É muito orgânico! Sim. É o que eu quero fazer. A música eletrônica é minha paixão, mas, ao mesmo tempo, como seres humanos, como criaturas vivas, somos orgânicos e sinto que tem que haver um elemento orgânico na música para que seja adaptável e relacionado.   //Quais são seus projetos agora? No momento, estou trabalhando em um novo projeto, com outro músico eletrônico. Eu não posso dar muitos detalhes agora, mas vai sair no horário de verão, teremos uma música lançada.   //Você sabe que muitas pessoas, incluindo eu, estão se queixando do fato de que você está parando o projeto Linea Aspera porque realmente criou um grande zumbido em apenas um ano. Bem, isso inclui eu. Não estou feliz por termos acabado porque era uma das minhas grandes paixões trabalhar na Linea Aspera, mas entendo que às vezes uma coisa boa deve chegar ao fim para ser substituída por algo melhor. Eu não poderia continuar cantando as mesmas músicas há anos e anos, então estou meio feliz que tenha chegado ao fim porque a vida é sobre mudança e você não pode se debruçar sobre algo que aconteceu no passado. As músicas da Linea Aspera foram escritas por uma versão de mim que estava vivo há um ano e essa pessoa já não é a mesma hoje. Eu sou um grande crente na evolução ... (risos).   //E quanto às suas influências? Todo mundo fala sobre música dos anos oitenta como, por exemplo, Soft Cell, Siouxsie, etc. Musicalmente, eu sou influenciado por uma boa parte da música dos anos oitenta, mas liricamente e vocalmente, minha principal influência é a HTRK, uma banda baseada em Londres e Berlim, agora retornou para a Austrália. Para letras e para o humor geral. Liricamente, outra influência importante é Morrissey, porque ele é capaz de abordar os aspectos negativos da vida de uma maneira muito importante e eu aprecio isso. E então, também há Maynard James Keenan da Tool and A Perfect Circle. É uma influência que nem tantas pessoas entendem, mas eu gosto do uso de palavras e temas relacionados à psique ...   //Para os aspectos tribais também? Sim, exatamente. E também Lisa Gerrard da Dead Can Dance é alguém que eu realmente admiro. Vê-la viver pela primeira vez era semelhante a alguma experiência religiosa transcendente.   //Qual música, por exemplo? "Sanvean", especialmente porque ela escreveu esta música sobre a falta de seus parentes de volta para casa. Eu passei muito do meu tempo longe da minha família. Eu entendo o que é ser um estranho. Eu posso estar muito em contato com as emoções que têm a ver com a saudade.   //Você conhece uma banda chamada Athamay? Não.   //É estranho porque sua voz me faz pensar em Athamay, especialmente na música "Dominação". Você vai evoluir em um outro tipo de universo de som? Você cortará o material analógico? Sim. Em Linea Aspera, eu sou a voz. A música é Ryan. E Ryan é um gênio que pode fazer muitas outras coisas, mas o som geral da Linea Aspera era um estilo específico para ele. Posso aplicar minhas letras e meus vocais para muitos tipos diferentes de música. Continuará a ser eletrônico porque é isso que ...   //Sem violão? Talvez um dia. Eu tenho um violão, que eu preciso voltar a tocar e tocar. Mas, no momento, estou na minha fase eletrônica e estou levando tudo o que posso. O próximo projeto talvez seja mais digital, menos analógico e um pouco mais progressivo ...   //O que você quer dizer com 'progressivo'? Um pouco mais experimental. Não é como 'prog rock', nem uma onda mínima direta, um pouco industrial.   //Um pouco como a música 'Kinabalu'? Eu adoraria ir mais na direção de 'Kinabalu', mas eu tenho medo de que isso permaneça único para a fita da turnê da Linea Aspera. Gostaria de mencionar aqui que Kinabalu é o nome de uma montanha na Malásia, que é uma referência à minha casa.   //Eu ia te perguntar sobre suas origens. Eu sou originalmente da Austrália, mas eu cresci na Malásia, Indonésia e Papua Nova Guiné. Mas a Malásia é a minha melhor casa. Passei 10 anos lá. É aí que está a minha família e para onde voltei.   //Há quanto tempo você vive em Londres? Estive em Londres por 3 anos.   //Estamos realmente ansiosos para ouvir o seu novo projeto! Muito obrigado pela entrevista! Obrigado!     Após Linea Aspera, Zoè Zanias lançou o EP 'To the Core' que foi produzido em colaboração com Alex Akers, da banda Forces, um projeto que foi concluído em uma casa de praia em ruínas na costa sul desolada e selvagem da Austrália em fevereiro de 2016 e lançado em setembro no rótulo austríaco Noiztank. Juntando ritmos industriais e vozes sobrenaturais, as quatro faixas exploram uma jornada intrinsecamente humana através da perda e transtorno. Além do desempenho e da produção, Zanias é membro do coletivo Fleisch de Berlim, um amalgama de DJs com carreiras primárias como músicos e designers, e um gosto por músicas de corpo eletrônico, novas batidas, industriais, ácidas e as margens mais escuras e pesadas de techno. Em 2016, suas partes deram lugar à fundação de uma gravadora, que estreou com a obra-prima da música corporal do Schwefelgelb 'Wie Die Finger Durch Den Nebel'   //Discografia   Linea Aspera EP (28 de janeiro de 2012) Linea Aspera LP (27 de julho de 2012) Linea Aspera II (25 de setembro de 2013)  

Zanias was born in Australia, raised in South-East Asia and now resides in Berlin. She unexpectedly found herself singing in the band Linea Aspera, followed by Keluar (with Sid Lamar of Schwefelgelb), and left behind a life in academia to focus on music full time.

In Berlin she co-founded the body music collective ‘Fleisch’ and now runs the record label of the same name, while simultaneously writing and performing solo under the name Zanias, which she co-produces with Alex Akers of Forces. In 2016 she released her debut EP on Vienna’s Noiztank label, followed by an EP of remixes in 2017 that introduced her voice into the realm of techno. In 2018 she will unveil a new album that aims to pull listeners deeper into an uncharted wilderness, unbound by genres or trends and purely focused on the distillation of timeless emotions and rhythms.

new releases 6-15-17

in on FRIDAY ORPHAN SWORDSLicense To Desire  LP  $22.99Orphan Swords see the reissue of their License To Desire LP, originally released in 2015. The Belgian duo, formed in 2013, bring a heady, fog-shrouded sonic maelstrom to Aurora Borealis, perfect for the post-truth era. What sort of music is this? What genre do you file it under? Hard to say. There's chaos, there's unhallowed chanting, there's some fierce rhythm and there's undeniably some abuse of electronic equipment. It's best to leave the definitions up to the listener, but with titles referencing demons of Goetia and the world's oldest profession, you should let the good times roll. Their music, described as "a brutal hypnosis" by Ransom Note, has been released on Desire Records, Clan Destine and Idiosyncratics. Idiosyncratic is indeed a description that perfectly fits both their releases and live performances. Recently back from the US, they have shared bills with acts as diverse as Oathbreaker, Andy Stott, and Vatican Shadow. Their new collaborative side project Black Swords, with Stuart Argabright of Black Rain, was released on Vienna's Noiztank label (2017). Black/white label; Comes in full color folder sleeve, in heavy PVC outer sleeve; Includes download code; Edition of 200 (hand-numbered). ORPHAN SWORDSLicense To Desire Remixes  LP  $22.99Aurora Borealis unleash Orphan Swords' License To Desire Remixes LP. The sonic tangle and entheogenic orgy of the demonically inspired "Asmoday" and the tranced-out "Hooker", are given workovers by Helm, Icon Template, Black Rain, Prostitutes, and Svengalisghost. This is remix as rite of destruction, the tracks being disfigured rather than beautified for commodification. Awkward, uncomfortable listening rubs shoulders with pounding bass, post-techno hiss squall prevails. And then there's the superbly dirty fever-dream lope of the Black Rain remix. Formed in 2013, Orphan Swords is a Belgian electronic duo. Their music, described as "a brutal hypnosis" by Ransom Note. Their work has been released on Desire Records, Clan Destine, and Idiosyncratics. Idiosyncratic is indeed a description that perfectly fits both their releases and live performances. Artwork by Lara Gasparotto. Black/white label; Comes in full color folder sleeve, in heavy PVC outer sleeve; Includes download code; Edition of 200 (hand-numbered). Borusiad/Sixteen: Promises 12" $24.99"Cititrax is thrilled to present a split EP by two massive talents, Borusiade and The Sixteen Steps. Borusiade, originally from Bucharest, Romania began as a DJ in the early 2000s and then started producing music in 2005. With a background in classical music, she combined her love of raw electronics, obscure themes and melodic lines to create her own signature sound. She has released on the Cómeme label as well as Correspondant. 'Infatuation' and 'Confutation' are dark, moody and intense tracks that catch you upon first listen. The flip side of the Promises And Infatuation EP features The Sixteen Steps, the brainchild of George Lanham who cut his musical teeth DJing and running events in the south of England. We have been listening to many of his tracks endlessly for a while now. They've also been a highlight of Veronica Vasicka's DJ sets as of late. 'Signals From The South' and 'Promises On The Run' are both immaculately produced, hypnotic, dance floor killers. They are sparse ebm meets smoky warehouse techno, and offer a wonderful contrast to Borusiade's layered emotive tracks that reminisce of an East Village club in the 1980s. Themes of infatuation, appearances, and anonymity appear throughout this EP from the music itself right through to the cover art. Limited edition vinyl pressing of 999 copies." Whitehouse: Dedicated To Peter Kurten LP $32.99Green vinyl version. Gloss laminated thick 350 gsm sleeve; Edition of 250. Dirter Promotions present a reissue of Whitehouse's Dedicated To Peter Kurten, Sadist And Mass Slayer, originally released in 1981. Unavailable on vinyl for 36 years, this iconic and ground-breaking masterpiece of electronic and extreme music is finally back. Superbly re-mastered and cut by Noel Summerville. BACZKOWSKI/CHRIS CORSANO/PAUL FLAHERTY, STEVE The Dull Blade $20.99"More than a decade since their first (and last) trio album, Dim Bulb (2005), 'Buffalo Steve,' Chris Corsano and Paul Flaherty are back on the attack. The three recorded as part of a larger ensemble on the Open Mouth LP, Wrong Number (2014), but they have a certain way of creating focused trio dynamics that makes babies talk in tongues and old men drool. The line-up is a bit unorthodox -- two saxes (one a goddamn baritone) and drums. You might almost be tempted to call the format European. But it'd be a canard to try and place this album in the Euro free music tradition. I mean, yeah, there is some massive outsider brawling here. Buckets of wind and clumps of tubs 'all double twisted up,' as Fred Blassie used to say. But the fire never refrains from flaming as jazz-qua-jazz, which places it a lot more squarely in the American tradition than actual squares would have you believe. These three are clearly savages, which is a far cry from people impersonating savages, if you catch my drift. Beyond that, there is an ineffably jazzoid heft to the music here. Both Steve and Paul are playing in a distinctly post-Ayler jetstream. The freedom of their runs maintains that strangely (perhaps even imaginary or projective) American connection to bar-walking R&B maniacs -- something that seems to lie at the bottom of our country's hornic subconscious. Which is not to say individual moments on this record couldn't have come from the FMP catalog, but there's a red hot holism here that will brand most asses with the stars & stripes. The Dull Blade has a strange undercurrent of swing here as well. Largely provided by Mr. Corsano's driving full kit approach, the most outward-moving passages (often those involving the inner and outer freak registers of the horns) get corralled back into more clearly terrestrial and genuinely moving. It's a great goddamn record. Once again these guys manage to defy odds and expectations, creating music that is as fully-charged and beautiful as it is warped." --Byron Coley, 2017 Edition of 400. New York Contempory Five : Consequences  LP $29.99Modern Silence present a reissue of The New York Contemporary Five's Consequences, originally released in 1966. The New York Contemporary Five barely lasted a year, all told, but they recorded five albums that shaped the jazz to come. They were a super-group after the fact -- the stellar frontline of Don Cherry, Archie Shepp, and John Tchicai all being relative newcomers at the time. Cherry had recently left Ornette Coleman and was only starting to stretch into world music. Shepp was fresh off a stint with Cecil Taylor and had just found his voice as a composer and performer. And Tchicai was virtually unknown. Their scorching music -- aided by the supple and hard-hitting rhythm section of Don Moore and J. C. Moses -- is a thrilling mix of adventurous soloing and post-bop structures, memorable heads and go-for-broke improv. Shepp and Tchicai offered two different ways forward for sax players: Shepp privileged texture, density, and fragmentation -- a pointillist take on Ben Webster or Coleman Hawkins, perhaps. Tchicai was a master of melodic invention, teasing out hard and bright phrases that seem unpredictably off-kilter. What's still remarkable about these tunes is their sense of internal tension. They're wound tighter than a magnet coil, without sacrificing any spontaneity. There's little that's strictly free about this jazz, but it's full of reckless and unexpected drama all the same. "Consequences" is the record's barnburner, built on fiery performances and climaxing with a Don Cherry solo that sounds like the aural equivalent of a fifty foot skid mark. Their version of Bill Dixon's "Trio" is contemplative by comparison, offering a loping groove, overlapping textures, and a series of wonderfully sustained solos that show off the stylistic strengths of each player. VA: Pop Makossa 2LP $29.99Double LP version. Gatefold sleeve with 20-page booklet; 140 gram vinyl. The Pop Makossa adventure started in 2009, when Analog Africa founder Samy Ben Redjeb first travelled to Cameroon to make an initial assessment of the country's musical situation. He returned with enough tracks for an explosive compilation highlighting the period when funk and disco sounds began to infiltrate the makossa style popular throughout Cameroon. From the very beginning, there were several mysteries hanging over Pop Makossa. It was not until DJ and music producer Déni Shain was dispatched to Cameroon to finalize the project, license the songs, scan photographs, and interview the artists that some of the biggest question marks began to disappear. His journey from the port city of Douala to the capital of Yaoundé brought him in contact with the lives and stories of many of the musicians who had shaped the sound of Cameroon's dance music in its most fertile decade. The beat that holds everything together has its origins in the rhythms of the Sawa people: ambassey, bolobo, assiko and essewé, a traditional funeral dance. But it wasn't until these rhythms arrived in the cities of Cameroon and collided with merengue, high-life, Congolese rumba, and, later, funk and disco, that modern makossa was born. Makossa managed to unify the whole of Cameroon, and it was successful in part because it was so adaptable. Some of the greatest makossa hits incorporated the electrifying guitars and tight grooves of funk, while others were laced with cosmic flourishes made possible by the advent of the synthesizer. However much came down to the bass; and from the rubbery hustle underpinning Mystic Djim's "Yaoundé Girls" to the luminous liquid disco lines which propel Pasteur Lappé's "Sekele Movement", Pop Makossa demonstrates why Cameroonian bass players are some of the most revered in the world. "Pop Makossa Invasion", an obscure tune recorded for Radio Buea makes its debut here and joins the pantheon of extraordinary songs that plugged Cameroon's makossa style into the modern world. Also features: Dream Stars, Mystic Djim & The Spirits, Bill Loko, Eko, Olinga Gaston, Emmanuel Kahe et Jeanette Kemogne, Nkodo Si-Tony, Bernard Ntone, Pat' Ndoye, and Clément Djimogne. Haino, Keiji: Watashi Dake LP $32.99Black Editions present the first vinyl reissue of Keiji Haino's stunning debut album Watashi Dake?, originally released in 1981. This first ever edition released outside of Japan features the artist's originally intended metallic gold and silver jacket artwork. Over the last fifty years few musicians or performers have created as monumental and uncompromising a body of work as that of Keiji Haino. Through a vast number of recordings and performances, Haino has staked out a ground all his own, creating a language of unparalleled intensity that defies any simple classification. For all this, his 1981 debut album Watashi Dake? has remained enigmatic. Originally released in a small edition by the legendary Pinakotheca label, the album was heard by only a select few in Japan and far fewer overseas. Original vinyl copies became impossibly rare and highly sought after the world over. Watashi Dake? presents a haunting vision -- stark vocals, whispered and screamed, punctuate dark silences. Intricate and sharp guitar figures interweave, repeat, and stretch, trance-like, emerging from dark recesses. Written and composed on the spot -- Haino's vision is one of deep spiritual depths that distantly evokes 1920s blues and medieval music -- yet is unlike anything ever committed to record before or since. Produced in close cooperation with Keiji Haino and legendary photographer Gin Satoh. Coupled with starkly minimal packaging, featuring the now iconic cover photographs by Gin Satoh, the album is a startling and fully realized artistic statement. Housed in custom printed deluxe Stoughton tip-on jackets, including black on black inserts, extras, and hand-colored finishes; Remastered by Elysian Masters and cut by Bernie Grundman Mastering; Pressed to high quality vinyl at RTI; Includes download code. Faust: Od Serca Do Duszy 2LP $33.99Od Serca Do Duszy originally appeared as a double CD set, joint-released by Lumberton Trading Company and AudioTONG in 2007 (LUMB 008CD). Long out of print, this album documents a professionally recorded live show at Krakow's Loch Ness Club. As anybody who has seen Faust live, in their countless different yet always wonderful forms, can testify, they are such a musical high, all other stimulants aren't necessary. This remastered reissue once again illuminates the residual experience of a Faust concert in all its expectation-scrunching glory. Comprising the thirteen songs that constituted the original show, this set was produced by founders Jean-Herve Peron and Zappi Diermaier, plus Amaury Cambuzat. Together they dovetail perfectly with one of Peron's mantras during the occasion, "Od Serca Do Duszy". This translates from Polish to, "From heart to soul", which just about covers one of the many facets to Faust's incredible music. Leyland James Kirby, : When We Parted I Wanted To Die  2LP $29.992017 repress. Originally released in 2009. It's a prescient hauntological elegy somewhere between Vangelis' Bladerunner OST (1982), Lynch and Badalamenti's Twin Peaks score, Erik Satie's solo Piano works, William Basinski's gradual tape decompositions, and James Ferraro's washed out visions. Back in 2009, James Leyland Kirby explained: "Here we stand, twenty years on from the first CD, and our optimism has been gradually eroded away collectively. 'Tomorrows World' never came. We are lost and isolated, many of us living our lives through social networks as we try to make sense of it all, becoming voyeurs not active participants. Documenting everything. No Mystery. Everything laid bare for all to see." A decade later, it could hardly have been more prescient. It's with this pessimistic sense of being that Kirby constructed these incredible pieces, creating a sequence of music designed to overwhelm and absorb, affecting our sense of time and place by tracing and retracing musical steps into a blur, re-using the same motifs with incremental differences, trapped in our own feedback loops of lost emotion. On this long double album, James Leyland Kirby once again acts as a spiritual bridge, holding fast against the perceived current of time and culture in order to afford a slow, lingering gaze on its ambiguous, ever-shifting ripples and eddies. Like staring at a body of gently moving water, the effect is strangely soothing and meditative, encouraging immersed reflection and dilated focus... Leyland James Kirby: Sadly, The Future Is No Longer What It Was  double lp  $29.99 2017 repress; Originally released in 2009. The second part of Leyland Kirby's uniquely prescient dark ambient masterstroke, Sadly, The Future Is No Longer What It Was (2009) finds the listener returning to Kirby's draughty corridors of processed 78s and midnight keyboard meditations is a sublime, haunting experience like no other. The listener can read his melancholic diagnosis of capitalist malaise, deferred futurism and thwarted social utopianism as a genuinely uncanny foresight of what has played out in contemporary society, in an age when Facebook and Twitter have become an all-encompassing filter for daily life and effectively assuaged the rich analog ambiguity of collectivism in favor of cold, hard, binary politics and reflexive, unthinking emotional responses. Especially in the wake of Mark Fisher's tragic passing earlier in 2017, Kirby's hauntological sentiments, embedded quite literally in titles such as "When Did Our Dreams And Futures Drift So Far Apart", and figuratively perfused through its stark negative space, now feel to resonate stronger than ever; using shared echoes of the hive mind such as classic film scores from Vangelis and Lynch/Badalmenti -- both quite literally omnipresent in imminent sequels right now -- as cues for sorrowful elegies and meditations which aesthetically resonate as much with Deathprod's liminal scapes, as a sort of mildewed modern classical flocking to Satie's tasteful ambient wallpaper. Yet it's not all doom and gloom. There's a sense of underlying sense of resilience, of resistance to Kirby's hushed, ribboning expressions which flows with a considerate pathos and open-ended emotional curiosity which belies the narcissistic reaffirmations of social media's echo chambers and dialectic cul-de-sacs, quietly striving to wrench something beautiful and affective from the clutches of a manipulative mainstream. VA: Monika Werkstatt 2LP $26.99restocked!!"... Gudrun Gut has a proven track record of successfully connecting with like-minded artists on unusual paths of creativity. She's an outstanding example of someone who refuses to compromise their artistic vision. And now she is ready to present one of her most ambitious projects ever: Monika Werkstatt -- a loose collective of female artists set up to enable each of them to achieve new goals through collaboration. Monika Werkstatt will ensure that their artistic output gains visibility in an art context still too dominated by men. Monika Werkstatt has its origins in collective workshops and in shared interactions. By sharing their own challenges and achievements later on with an audience, this opened a gateway to a further feedback and creative dialogue. . . . History has a weakness for coincidences, and the release of Monika Werkstatt happily falls on the 20th anniversary of Monika Enterprises. A fantastic landmark and a means of celebrating such a tremendously talented collective that Gudrun Gut has orchestrated. So what is this release really about? Gudrun's fellow Monika members -- AGF, Beate Bartel, Lucrecia Dalt, Danielle De Picciotto, Islaja, Barbara Morgenstern, Sonae, Pilocka Krach, Natalie Beridze -- travelled from Berlin and assembled in the creative oasis of Uckermark. The goal was to create and record without any of the usual pressures and distractions that you'd anticipate in a group context. To keep the focus, Mo Loscheider cooked, Manon Pepita assisted with the day-to-day and Lupe was filming. . . . Between recording and jamming, their days were filled with music, eating, short walks in the fields and forests resounding with inspiring talks and discussions. Without any restraint or rules, they opened up new forms of interaction and creative dialogue which found themselves falling into a process without any clear beginnings or ends. . . . Once the recordings were completed, representatives of the group were delegated roles for a finished production -- some sequenced and mixed the recordings into their own tracks, while others built their own from the material recorded. The results succeed in showcasing the community as a group, as well as portraying singular pieces of art derived from a collective process." these chris watson cds are being reissued - please let us know if you'd like a copy - they are scheduled for july release datesWatson, Chris: El Tren Fantasma CD $15.99Watson, Chris: Weather $15.99
