mika vainio / kevin drumm / axel dörner / lucio capece 'venexia' (pan 28) the original idea of this project was to allow musicians from different scenes (but who shared common ideas) to work together. in this case, a development of two pre existent duos. quite often musicians from different sonic languages can be seen being put together, trying to push the artists to develop unexpected works. vainio, drumm, dörner and capece have mainly strong points in common, that have been executed in different contexts. the music map is generally divided into categories that are determined by it's most evident and often banal elements; if it has beats or not, if it is quiet or loud, if it has raw material or a carefully worked aesthetic. these four musicians have been working using all the previous elements, but these elements did not determine the music, they were used at the service of deeper ideas related to time and perception. how the sound of our environment can become music, how can music be attractive without telling a story, the work of sound in it's extreme: noise, granular and delicate, digital, electronic, instrumental extended techniques, preparations. kevin drumm and axel dörner started working together in the late 90's as part of a trio with paul lovens, as a duo they released an influential album on erstwhile records. vainio and drumm met in 2005 in australia, both as part of the touring festival what is music?. even if both musicians declared to have a great time touring in australia, they did never played together. drumm's and vainio's music is often compared by critics. capece has released a duo cd on l'innomable label with axel dörner and a trio one with dörner and tubist robin hayward on azul discográfica label from new york. dörner and capece worked in several projects together, including a residence with keith rowe working on " treatise" by cornelius cardew. mika vainio and lucio capece have released together the album "trahnie". an album they worked for three years on, and also did several concerts as a duo. in may 2008 the quartet made a 6 days residency and concert at vooruit, in gent, followed by a 5 concert european tour, that took them to venice. in 2011 the group played at konfrontationen festival in austria. in the meanwhile capece and vainio have been part of the vladislav delay quartet. capece has played, and toured with kevin drumm in a trio with radu malfatti and dörner has played with drumm in a trio with paul lovens, at the meteo festival, in france. the recording in venice is a multitrack one. it was mixed by capece with minimal edits, basically panning and volume adjustments. the lp is mastered and cut by rashad becker at d&m, pressed on 140g vinyl and comes in a poly-lined inner sleeve. it is packaged in a pro-press color jacket which itself is housed in a silkscreened pvc sleeve with photos by traianos pakioufakis & artwork by kathryn politis & bill kouligas.

andre vida 'brud: volumes i-iii' (pan 20) brud is a three volume compilation of recordings from 1995 to 2011 by andre vida, morphing seamlessly between a sense of total irreverence and the sublime. his spontaneous compositions and notated works are the angled mirrored counterparts of a transient saxophone driven performance language, drawing on elements of 1970s performance art, new music, improvisation cult, folk and pop hybrids, channeling them into asymmetrical tunes of feral beauty. brud traces the development of vida's wayward language through 16 years of copious ruminations. the three delightfully polymorphic perverse discs unite sparkling solo sax, pieces for cello and woodwind sextet, synth / concrete electronic music, nocturnal improvisations, rare 90's new york free jazz compositions, and the kreuzberg suite — a distilled culmination of a hundred nights of berlin mayhem into ecstatic swinging lyricism. both solo works and as well as various collaborations with anthony braxton, rashad becker, axel dörner, matt "mv" valentine, tim barnes, helen rush, olaf rupp, clare cooper, clayton thomas, brandon evans, elisabeth king, steve heather and many more. andre vida is a hungarian american saxophonist, composer and lyricist living in berlin. more downtown cheeky grin than mere caveman smile, he is cosmically notorious for continuing the rahsaan roland kirk one man horn section legacy with hydra headed style. he has been at the forefront of several major developments in experimental music, being mainly in anthony braxton’s original ghost trance ensemble, as founding member of new york collective the ctia, subsequent ‘freak folk’ groups such as the tower recordings, and his extensive collaborations with electronic music visionaries jamie lidell, tim exile and kevin blechdom, elton john, gonzales, cecil taylor, ornette coleman to name but a few, sewing up some heavy threads in downtown sax patchwork refracted through a borgesian lens. the 3xcd is a limited edition of 1000 copies, and is packaged in a pro-press digisleeve jacket which itself is housed in a one-tone silk screened pvc sleeve with artwork by andre vida and bill kouligas.
