Recordings from the Åland Islands
In 2017 Jeremiah Chiu & Marta Sofia Honer traveled together to the Åland Islands (an archipelago that is host to around 6,500 islands) in the Baltic Sea between Sweden and Finland.

The idea was that, once completed, Svala would host artist residencies…

True than Nature
True than Nature encourages active listening. There is sound that exists seemingly for its own sake – a continuing drone that slowly evolves, sound of nature – and there are sounds that refer to a momentary action, and sudden intrusions of sound. BJ Nilsen triggers shifts in the perception for the listener that alter how you perceive and experience the world through sound, and how you think about sound.
Listening to True than Nature is full of moments of instability. The shifts between sound spa…
A Book of Waves
"After playing together for years, our tide was turning. What began as a happy rhythm of show dates in Berlin, from cozy trios in Klaus’ home studio to ten-piece ensembles at Ausland, was now ebbing away thanks to Andy’s move to the US. Whenever an accustomed pattern shifts it can take time to readjust, to find the gravity that will pull to shape an orbit again. What had been working well between us remained on both our minds for a few years after: the tension between complimentary forms and ref…

D'Un Seul Trait De Pinceau
* Edition of 150 * "Miha invites you to explore her world once again, this time in the form of a disheveled monad. It wouldn't be so bad to read the hollows, listen to the foam, learn to savor the bubbles. Or to choose the attentive abandon of listening. A raw, demanding and generous gem. I recognize in it the abundant family of gardens with animal ears. I think of the volcanoes of the Kraft and their human flows down to the sea. Cosmic voluptuousness, magma for the ears.
Danger and salvation? F…
