tonschacht (germany) #tons 016 ep

janek schaefer “early electronic compositions” seven inch single record

call jet mistry (1999) (4:05)
the world of dr mm (soundtrack mirror mix) (1998) (3:32)

two “early” pieces (actually; from the late 90s) from this english sound-artist known otherwise for his turntable-based explorations (which are quite nice.) the a-side, call jet mistry, works some very “klassische” sounding analog-synth timbres across a swath of digital reverb noise and self-oscillating filter; fairly un-remarkable in and of itself actually (trying to be truthful here folks.) the world of dr mm on the b-side fares much better via a random-feeling selection of abstract beeping and fm-synthesis sounds; filter everything out above 8k and it would sound like a wdr piece from the early 1970s. always nice to hear an artist break out of his/her “mould” (well, nice 1/2 of the time at least...)

tonschacht press release...

artist: janek schaefer
title: early electronic compositions
format: 7"
cat #: tons016

"both of these compositions were produced while i was working freelance for de rijke marsh morgan architects in london. one afternoon i had a message to call a guy named 'jet mistry' who worked for the lift company thyssen. he was a chatty guy so we talked about names etc, and i decided to dedicate a track to his as i liked it so much. this was produced using an 'rs integrator' analogue patch bay synthesizer that i'd bought around then with the profits of working a 96 hours week on a new london park competition. another project we produced at the practice was a quirky, live, stop frame short video showcasing various projects for a touring architecture exhibition. i was asked to edit and produce the sound. side b is a 7" mix with the spoken sections removed."

idiosyncratics (belgium) #id 001 cd

“idioscapes” compact disc

rapoon : the moment screams
kk null : idioscape / decomposition

daniel menche : cadence
idiosyncrasia : filt_h

spring 2007 compilation of “idiosyncratic” music curated by yannick franck... includes music by a pretty damn excellent selection of contemporary drone/repetition practitioners ranging from the minimalist swell of charlemagne palestine to the munged roar of lasse marhaug & jon hegre’s jazkamer to steffen basho-junghan’s ringing steel-string figures...

just about everything is exclusive to this reasonably priced and quite lovely set (featuring tatiana klejniak’s scribbled-out paintings...) with a nice blend of darker & lighter tonalities. something for every fan of long-form sound. properly chilled.

idcd 001
various artists : idioscapes 2007
digipack / 1000 copies

“the idea was to ask some of our favourite sound artists to take part in a compilation... and, to our surprise, they accepted. the only concept was that they had to provide a specific / particular / idiosyncratic piece. qualified as a “drone paradise” by lasse marhaug (of jazkamer), the result is a fine and coherent whole, full of extended textures, contrasted acoustic surfaces, subtle and strong. idioscapes contains 70 minutes of authentic acoustic researches, with glitches, loops, noises, deep and glittering textures, subliminal frequences and narrative inserts, punctured with sensible musical moments. idiosyncratics is honoured to present these sound masters on idioscapes. infinite thanks to all of them.” y.f.

lokaal 01 (netherlands) #lp-cd 02 cd

“geluidpost” double compact disc-recordable set

machinefabriek - cello recycling (11:47)
janek schaefer - come on up... (19:00)
rudolf eb.er's runzelstirn & gurgelstøck - schlechte musik (10:19)

steve roden - to these four horizons (14:00)
francisco lópez - untitled #0908 (10:17)
staplerfahrer - mode of perception (12:47)

october 2009 release ; neat fold-out double-disc edition covering a series of pieces curated by martijn hohmann for a “listening room at art gallery lokaal01” in breda, nl ...

the set ships flat (actually smaller than your average dorado gatefold) but opens up like so ::

some great work here, including all-exclusive pieces from machinefabriek (crackly, cheap-reverb plugin rework of aaron martin’s cello), janek schaefer (neat, plunderphonic flamenco piece), runzelstirn & gurgelstøck (classic, aktion-heavy rudolf), merzbow (washing-machine rhythms into a synth blow-out) ...

... then (ad)vance(d) (formant-filter drones & assorted static), justin bennett’s students (ground-hum rich field recording overlay), steve roden (automatic-feeling mystery clank & reed drones - get lost in the long sound-sample), francisco lópez (rainforest hiss), and staplerfahrer (grainy, noisy grisple) ...

most pieces hover around the 10-minute mark, as such there’s enough room for them to say what they need to without feeling hurried ... as site-specific compilations go this one’s a keeper ; highly recommended !!!
