Exploit Divisions
Anthony Linell's Lundin Oil project suggests a politic and an aesthetic in one swift movement. We may make certain deductions about each, but we must work backwards from where they meet. Through the brutalising industrial mechanisms to which titles cryptically allude, we are given an exponentially urgent image of devastation. This is projected, pitch-perfectly, into a rapacious and erosive aural demonstration that barely meet metrical demands. Exploit Divisions, the first Lundin Oil release sinc…

Field Studies Vol.6
*2024 stock* Field Studies Vol.6 is a work on the swamp of Padule di Fucecchio, the largest inland wet area of Italy. Invited by Nub Project Space to work on its soundscape, I visited Padule four times between October and June, recording the sounds I encountered, mainly birds, insects and reeds.
Despite being an incredibly silent and quiet place, Padule can also be harsh and inhospitable, the tracks resulting from the elaboration of the field recordings with tape loops and a Doepfer A-100 modula…
In Another Land pt.1
*2024stock* „In Another Land pt. I“ is the first part of a planned trilogy. It is more or less electronic music, generated through long processes of editing and sampling. It's experimental in terms of that its shape and its meaning were not planned, were unclear during its creation and still now are not evident but somehow hard to reveal. It is based on a strict concept which could be very well explained, which the composer decided not to do. Instead of that it is full of hints. It's not a riddl…

Pounding
Unequal cycles searching for synchronous experiences: On his new album »Pounding«, Frank Bretschneider tells of distance, convergence and congruence in a continuous, ever-changing flow of events. What is often considered to be an unquestionable dogma in club music (for which Bretschneider has provided significant impetus since the 1990s) – the groove – appears precarious, unstable, and in motion. Pulse and accent are volatile encounters and have to be found again and again for short, delightful …
Rock Rendez Vous: Música Moderna Portuguesa 1985-1986
The seductive sounds of Portugal swing to Dark Entries on Rock Rendez Vous: Música Moderna Portuguesa 1985-1986, a compilation of vintage Iberian synth, wave, and postpunk gems. The legendary club Rock Rendez Vous (RRV) opened its doors in Lisbon in 1980, heralding a new era in the Portuguese underground. Although touring acts like Killing Joke, Danse Society, or Echo & the Bunnymen graced its stage, RRV more vitally served as ground zero for a new generation of Portuguese bands, one simultaneou…
Cinema du Look
Tip! *'Dijon Mustard' coloured vinyl, limited edition LP * Femme Fatales with big guns, coolly efficient assassins, highly sexed and impossibly beautiful kleptomaniacs, Paris Métro signs, wet cobbled streets – and neon, always lots of neon; the visual aesthetics of the Cinéma Du Look movement of the early 1980s to early 1990s were as important as the characters in the films themselves.Identified by Revue du Cinéma critic Raphaël Bassan in its May 1989 issue, ‘Cinéma Du Look’ principally revolved…

Cirque
Huge Tip! The Circus is a place of lights and colors, but also of shadows, even darkness. Admittedly, it delights children and makes adults laugh. But you only need one rainy autumn evening near a circus tent and the smell of fodder to think of the sadness of the clowns, the endless training of the animals and the freaks who are hidden in some caravan... cinema, the essence of the circus – movement, light, danger and burlesque – will have been admirably rendered in Notes on the circus by Jonas M…

Return To Acapulco - Music For Hotels (Vol. 1)
The story of a family of hoteliers active since the 1960s on the Versilia Riviera, the renowned Tuscan seaside area, becomes the occasion for the compilation by the music critic and cultural agitator Vittore Baroni of an anthology of "Music for Hotels", a theme curiously ignored by international discography. A large group of musicians active in a variety of genres and styles have been asked to create a soundtrack for the different zones of the Hotel Acapulco in Forte dei Marmi - portrayed in the…

In the wake of its predecessor, Dirk worked on this album in January 2024 using his motherboard of pedals and an electric guitar to create this slightly darker and experimental album. Once again performed and recorded entir…
