editions mego press release...

emego 127 / angel 26000 cd release date 27.09.2011 angel is ilpo väisänen (pan sonic) and dirk dresselhaus (schneider tm) who play time-transcending freeform sound, weightlessness and gravity of electromagnetic signals together since 1999. the 5 tracks describe the last period of a 26000 years long cycle that leads to a new situation on this planet. 26000 was recorded between 2008 and 2010 at construction site studios in berlin & ilpo's cottage in karttula, finland and features guest appearences by hildur gudnadottir, bj nilsen and oren ambarchi. the repertoire of the instruments is very wide: glassbowls, metal objects, pieces of wood, grass, birds, dragonflies, lake echo, smoking box and the regular electronic equipment as well as acoustic instruments. hildur plays cello & the halldorophon (a kind of cello that feeds itself back). oren plays percussion & guitar. benny did field recordings and processing. all mixed by angel at dirk's newly built studio called zone and mastered by rashad becker in berlin. it's all good in the tummy, bwoys, because the black sabbath parts were totally ac/dc. nothing is wider than empty things (francis bacon) ... time is the accident of accidents (epi kuros)

touch # to:65 cd 45:30 - 6 tracks composed and mixed by bjnilsen @ toneroom stockholm 2003-2004 artwork & photography by jon wozencroft benny nilsen writes: "'fade to white' contains material from the making of 3 pieces which were created within a different season and then edited, re-arranged and re-mixed in the summer of 2004. 6 pieces contain outdoor field recordings from travels in mainly central europe in 2003 [gdansk/poland, narva/estonia, sarajevo/serbia herzegovina, arad/romania, trieste/italy], and static indoor recordings from 2004 stockholm/sweden, brussels/belgium, amsterdam/netherlands, vienna/austria, geneva/switzerland. i used acoustic and electrical instruments recorded in open spaces picking up the natural ambience, blending those with environmental sounds of nature and then arranged it in the computer, creating dynamic layers of sound that feed from one another." this is bjnilsen's 3rd album for touch, after land [touch # tone 17 - as hazard] and live at the konzerthaus, vienna [touch # to:cdr5]. he also recorded 3 hazard albums for ash international. bjnilsen lives and works in stockholm, sweden. born in 1975, he began working with experimental music and sound at an early stage. he was influenced by the early tape movements with the pioneers of sonic assault and released his first recordings at the age of 15. benny founded hazard in 1996 after a couple of years as a guitarist/bass player in several local bands. he has since then focused on the sound of nature and its effect on humans, field recordings and the perception of time and space as experienced through sound.

tone 33 | "touch. 30 years and counting" 4 tracks - dlp - 70:16 gatefold full colour sleeve with black inners limited edition of 1000 compiled, edited, mixed and produced by mike harding & jon wozencroft mastered by denis blackham at skye, 26th october 2012 30 years and counting is an echo of a time when the world was in a critical condition, and potentially about to blow itself into oblivion at the tail end of the cold war. as such the title is a wry reflection on the situation we find ourselves in today, where the final curtain is less likely to close, but the stakes somehow seem to be more extreme and polarised than ever. as far as touch is concerned, it is an expression of our youthful relationship to the work. mike harding and jon wozencroft invited each of the touch artists to contribute a glimpse of their current practice to what is effectively a group show rather than a compilation. the brief was not only to celebrate a situation, but to remind each other why we are doing it, and make a kind of documentary realism. some artists responded quickly with significant twists and returns to their signature sound and others left it to the last minute. the net result was that mike and jon mastered the lp / cd more or less as live performance in the cutting room, transition, as an expression of the vitality of the project rather than some pre-ordained historical item. the history is built into the cover with two images of the first computer, the ‘colossus’, built in bletchley park during the early 1940’s as a means of cracking the enigma codes… here the pressure of time is at its most compressed. two contra-punctal images were shot only recently, backstage moments of touch 30 situations which as historical events, pale in comparison – they are just personal, memories in a flash. 30 years and counting is a filmic / time-based response from a collective of artists who have made a distinct impression on contemporary music and the way things go. fennesz, eleh, hildur gudnadottir, chris watson, philip jeck, biosphere… we should really list everyone. that’s what they try and do on hip-hop albums. we started with cassettes; this project commenced as a dedication to vinyl rather than digital, a question concerning the art of recording. 30 years and counting is a manifesto after all these transformations. it is available on cd . the vinyl flares with the crackle of the present. - jon wozencroft, november 2012
