staubgold press release...
staubgold 79 sun - "i'll be the same" cd

staubgold is proud to present "i'll be the same", the second recording from australian duo sun.

sun is the coupling of sound artist oren ambarchi and musician-producer chris townend. the pair have been kindred spirits for many years, with townend being a sensitive and crucial ear in engineering ambarchi's landmark solo recordings.

it was their shared love for expansive pop that led them to their first musical collaboration together as sun, released on staubgold in 2003 (staubgold 39 2cd/2lp). the self-titled debut was a laidback delight of many melodic charms and artful creation, as sweet as it was wry in its lyricism.

those trademarks continue with "i'll be the same", though the songs here are more freewheeling pleasures where an unaffected sense of experimentalism breezes in. there's a special kind of warmth to "i'll be the same" that feels easy, a reflection of the state of play when these two come together. and with ambarchi now residing in melbourne and townend's imminent move to tasmania, along with multiple touring and recording commitments for both, really the only thing about sun that isn’t easy is finding the time to make it happen.

"i'll be the same" is finally a beaming signal of more to follow.

staubgold 78 - alejandro franov - "khali" cd/lp

argentinian songwriter and multi-instrumentalist alejandro franov is one of the key figures of the alternative folk and world music scene of his country, brought to worldwide critical acclaim by singer/sonwriter and actress juana molina. franov collaborated with juana molina on three of her albums, "segundo" (2000), "tres cosas" (2002) and "son" (2006). with "khali" staubgold is proud to present his first worldwide release, after five solo albums which have only been released in south america and japan.

"khali" which is mainly based on three instruments - the african mbira, the paraguayan harp arpa and the indian sitar - is the result of franov's studies in african and arabic music, especially the music of the shona from zimwbabwe. he carefully combines these unique instruments with percussion, voices and minimal electronics in order to create a comfortably floating stream of world music in the purest sense, hardly relating to any certain country or region.

on the one hand "khali" is the name of the croatian island where franov's grandfather was born, on the other hand it's taken from the tabla rhythm cycle of hindustani music, and it's the name of a hindu goddess.

born in 1972, today alejandro franov is one of the most important musicians in argentina. his unique musical talent has attracted many artists and led to collaborations with juana molina, liliana herrero, fernando kabusacki, mono fontana, santiago vasquez, seiichi yamamoto (rovo, ex-boredoms), yuji katsui (rovo), kama aina and many more.

staubgold 77 - kammerflimmer kollektief - "jinx" cd/lp

whispering, a laid back pop rhythm and something that sounds like an overwound gramophone – thus begins "jinx", the new album by the kammerflimmer kollektief. recorded by tobias levin at electric avenue studio, it is their sixth longplayer.

this band is still a "collective", although within the last years and extensive touring through europe, a group of three core members emerged from the original line-up: thomas weber (guitar, electronics, piano), heike aumüller (harmonium, vocals, synthesizer, percussion) and johannes frisch (double bass and percussion).

the eight songs on "jinx" leave the wide-screen cinemascope soundscapes of the previous albums behind. with their serenity, these songs sound almost like a sediment of the band's earlier approach. this becomes evident in a track like "nest" (which is reminiscent of the folk-jazz-approach of early pentangle albums), or the beautifully minimalist yet very touching country-epic "live at the cactus tree motel".

faced with this music, the usual groping for stylistic comparisons and genre attributions appears more helpless than ever. this is mainly due to the focused use of instrumental improvisation on this album. in their dialogue with the sound impulse, the musicians re-endow data folk with a body and electronic music with its metaphysics. this becomes evident in both the title track and in "both eyes tight shut", where in a repetitive swing heike aumüller's voice persistently fishes half-words from the vortex of sound particles.

in "gammler, zen & hohe berge", a tiny echo from the beat on a small wood block which is electronically slowed down, dies away. time drips through the spheres, quietly. this is not an escape into esotericism but rather the attempt at reflection and clarification, a catharsis somewhere between a constructed reality and karma.

jinx – the mythological bird that heralds bad luck - comes to you when you return from the quest for happiness in the computer game world of virtual identities. with "jinx", the kammerflimmer kollektief has created a touching soundtrack for these moments – when you leave the simulated wonderworld of commerce like "second life", when you log off your atavar and suddenly find yourself confronted with the disdainful universality of your own thinking.

staubgold 75 - thilges - "la double absence" cd

thilges (sometimes known as thilges3) are austrians gammon (bass, drums, guitar, electronics) and nik hummer (trautonium, synth, programming) and this is their second full-length release on staubgold after their die offene gesellschaft release in 2002.

la double absence is western experimental music meets oriental art music. the ensemble emerged in 2003, when thilges was commissioned by the renowned music promoter jeunesse to make a composition. the track "izdiucz" is characteristic of this release: in arabic, this term describes the fusion of two different materials, and stands for breaking down cultural barriers, and certainly the guest artists on this recording are emblematic of that.

the persian vocalist zohre jooya is a widely known interpreter of persian and afghan music, and asim al-chalabi who composed the tracks with thilges is regarded as grandmaster of the oud in the arabic world. also appearing on this cd is american viola player eyvind kang.

for la double absence a specific, new way of playing had to be developed; some pieces are completely notated, others are improvised. the music is based on magams, traditional arabic scales, that were assigned to particular musicians. for this, thilges invited some of austria's most approved musicians for guest performances: franz hautzinger (zeitkratzer, comforts of madness) and peter rosmanith (otto lechner ensemble), who contribute trumpet and percussion parts. patrick pulsinger is responsible for the mastering of the record.

la double absence offers everything a good pop record asks for: catchy melodies, complex rhythms, and a downright atmospheric density. the music is about bacchanal, melancholic, and difficult situations, thus simply about life. this is international music; timeless, beautiful, meditative, and complex. thilges has been one of austria's standard bands for sophisticated experimental and electronic music for a long time, and you can see why.

staubgold 75 - reuber - "südpol" cd

cologne electronic musician reuber (one half of the duo klangwart, along with markus detmer) presents his fourth album on staubgold, südpol (trans. "south pole").

reuber creates unusual electronic pastiches that weave a massive selection of esoteric and unexpected samples into a stunning, vibrant patchwork that constantly pulls in different directions. much in the same way that reuber so successfully welded image with associative sounds and sequences from various different musical contexts on his previous release, kintopp, reuber's instinct for unusual juxtapositions goes well beyond the postmodern irony of incorporating aboriginal music into a psychedelic techno collage -- he has a true ear for combinations that work.

much like shifting curtains of the aurora australis, südpol is cosmic.

staubgold 71 - paul wirkus - "déformation professionnelle" cd

when paul wirkus' previous album "inteletto d'amore" came out on the quecksilber label two years ago, for the wire magazine it was the most engaging and fully formed work in the field of glitchology to that date.

"what makes wirkus such a master is his ability to show enough of the source material to allow the listener to follow the narrative journey of its processing, and to fit the digital shards and splinters which result into the music's total perspective", keith moliné wrote. "he never once falls into the trap of believing that it's only in this digi-scree that the art happens."

all this can also easily be said about the polish musician's and cologne resident's new work "déformation professionnelle". but that's just half the truth. wirkus has gone a big step further. the glitch still forms the basis, but the result is much more song-structured than before, further emphasizing this sound artist's unique narrative qualities. there's hardly any programming here, with most of the tracks directly recorded live onto dat without overdubs. melody has become the main focus.

wirkus' background as an improvising percussionist still informs the pointillist perfection of his output, developed through a series of solo albums and extremely varied collaborations with barbara morgenstern and stefan schneider (mapstation) as september collective and the free jazz trio with kammerflimmer kollektief's johannes frisch and mikolaj trzaska. his previous musical history includes performances with polish punk group karcer and late '90s post-rock group mapa, which may account for his favouring a live, lo-fi approach to recording.

staubgold 67 - no-neck blues band and embryo - "embryonnck" cd/lp

the cd version includes a 24-pages booklet with photos and linernotes, the limited vinyl edition comes in heavy cardboard sleeve with poster and inserts.

"the greatest band ever in the history of the universe." (sonic youth on the no-neck blues band)

new york mavericks no-neck blues band and munich-based krautrock band embryo explore the indigenous urban music phenomenon on this, their debut collaborative release. the no-neck blues band are one of the most enigmatic, mysterious, and defiantly anti-commercial groups to emerge from the new york loft scene during the '90s. the collective was formed in 1992 around a core of multi-instrumentalists who have stubbornly and admirably insisted on individual anonymity. incorporating elements of folk, drone, psychedelia, free jazz, noise, and just about everything else, nnck have nevertheless carved out a distinctive sound from complementary and disparate component elements.

one of the most original and innovative krautrock bands, embryo fused traditional ethnic music with their own jazzy space rock style. over their 30-year existence, during which christian burchard has been the only consistent member, the group has traveled the world, playing with hundreds of different musicians and releasing over twenty records. melding their wildly diverse forays into experimental, blues, middle eastern, turkish and african music, these two groups have since become brothers in unparalleled improvisatory spirit, and embryonnck is the fruit of that merge.

to quote christian burchard, "the nnck players were flying... little melodies we never had heard, different moods, rhythmic interplays, and in between the musicmaking it was like we had been together all the time."

staubgold 65 - hassle hound - "limelight cordial" cd/lp

hassle hound are a benign tornado, roaring and twisting through the best and most eclectic of record collections, ripping out and tearing off ideas and samples. they plunder for a reason – to make fragile and lovely music, often charmingly odd but with a gleeful melancholy, off-kilter but on the ball. there is a childlike quality to their music, but the child in question must be a musical prodigy with a wry sense of humour and a maturity beyond his years.

they are not afraid to be beautiful. machines and beats are caressed into soft humanity by delicate vocals, the boisterous cuddle of eccentrically played instruments and ingenious guitar patterns. here are wistful love songs which also sound like the greatest james bond theme ever (if those films had ever been made by a 60's new wave czech director). cartoon oneirics slapstick their way across lush countryside and toddle through town, favourite-uncle drunk and beaming expansively.

trying to pin them down is like drinking beer with a fork. they coin new genres like other bands do sound checks – too much funky not enough, crofter dub, genial noise, surf and turf guitar, carousel gothic, collagetronica. if harry partch had made music for ice-cream vans it might have been like some of these affable inventions.

staubgold 62 - andrew pekler - "strings + feedback" cd/lp

the ten tracks on this new album embark on an excursion into the direct vicinity of sounds and into the inner life of the mixing desk. it is here where sounds are organized, where they all must pass through, that pekler develops his breathtaking signal flow. calm and patient he opens up the material from the inside and self-confidently develops a music consisting of only very few essential elements.

"strings and feedback": very lucid and rough. inside his mixing console, pekler confronts a few strings and piano samples (taken mostly from morton feldman's work in the 1950s) with themselves, forcing unpredictable encounters, intensification and distortion. he inaugurates an interplay of reminiscences and unreliable fragments of a chapter in the history of music which lies behind us. if pekler on his previous albums appeared as a minute observer who knows how to describe even the most delicate atmospheric conditions through music, then on "strings and feedback" he has become an intermediary between sound worlds.

similar to the imaginary circuit diagram on the album's cover, pekler's pieces leave the safe and beaten tracks on which most specialists tread and instead create open-ended and yet to be discovered paths which cannot be described through the logic of a manual. it may be unintentional that the cover design is reminiscent of the 1960s situationist's visionary city maps, but it matches pekler's approach to create a new topography by re-organizing existing sound material.

on "strings and feedback", andrew pekler brings into being an impressive music which manages to convince the listener not despite its renunciation of compositional variety, but because of it. or, in the words of yoko ono: draw a map and get lost. (text: stefan schneider)

the ten tracks on this new album embark on an excursion into the direct vicinity of sounds and into the inner life of the mixing desk. it is here where sounds are organized, where they all must pass through, that pekler develops his breathtaking signal flow. calm and patient he opens up the material from the inside and self-confidently develops a music consisting of only very few essential elements.

"strings and feedback": very lucid and rough. inside his mixing console, pekler confronts a few strings and piano samples (taken mostly from morton feldman's work in the 1950s) with themselves, forcing unpredictable encounters, intensification and distortion. he inaugurates an interplay of reminiscences and unreliable fragments of a chapter in the history of music which lies behind us. if pekler on his previous albums appeared as a minute observer who knows how to describe even the most delicate atmospheric conditions through music, then on "strings and feedback" he has become an intermediary between sound worlds.

similar to the imaginary circuit diagram on the album's cover, pekler's pieces leave the safe and beaten tracks on which most specialists tread and instead create open-ended and yet to be discovered paths which cannot be described through the logic of a manual. it may be unintentional that the cover design is reminiscent of the 1960s situationist's visionary city maps, but it matches pekler's approach to create a new topography by re-organizing existing sound material.

on "strings and feedback", andrew pekler brings into being an impressive music which manages to convince the listener not despite its renunciation of compositional variety, but because of it. or, in the words of yoko ono: draw a map and get lost. (text: stefan schneider)

staubgold 61 - schwabinggrad ballett - s/t - cd/lp

the schwabinggrad ballett was founded in 2000 at an antiracist no border camp. the group developed a flexible performing strategy, with which it wants to create confusion, to break up old forms, to politicize and reactivate. the schwabinggrad ballett (which in its name combines the memory of the nazi's worst defeat and the first innocent bohemian riots of street musicians in this land) is an open collective and understands itself as part of a network, which among other activities runs the buttclub in hamburg, which in turn organizes discussions, readings, exhibitions, concerts and reading groups.

members of the schwabinggrad ballett are:
der buttclub, thomas butteweg, christine eder, ekkehard ehlers, ted gaier, bernadette hengst, frank john, thomas lörtsch, heiko marn, roberto ohrt, peter ott, dj patex, tina petersen, knarf rellöm, christoph schäfer, barbara schulz, christine schulz, christoph twickel, kathrin wildner, frank will.

staubgold 54 - dean roberts - "and the black moths play the grand cinema" cd/lp

a re-release of the long deleted ritornell cd from 2000, many fans and critics regard new zealander dean roberts' second solo album "and the black moths play the grand cinema" as his best so far. this re-issue comes with complete new artwork and is available on vinyl for the first time. guest musicians include tim barnes, charles curtis and matt valentine.

beginning with the post punk rock trio thela and moving through white winged moth and into his solo recordings, dean roberts has marked himself as a guitarist of unique talents. his latest album, "be mine tonight", has been released on kranky in 2003. roberts has played a variety of solo gigs and played with some of the heavyweights of electrical/acoustic improvisation. currently he has been working with werner dafeldecker (polwechsel) and martin brandlmayr (radian, trapist) on a trio album, to be released under the moniker of the autistic daughters on staubgold (vinyl) and kranky (cd) in november 2004.

staubgold 53 - minit - "now right here" cd/lp

a long awaited release from sydney's minit culminates in a masterpiece collection of spectral drone music.

with their unhierarchical approach to the use of 'found' sound, a fuzzed out electric bass line sits neatly alongside field recordings of atmospheric hum - their individual sound qualities overriding their semiotic value, so that each sound, representing a layer, shimmers and swells within minit's evolving, sonic habitat.

now right here, the title track as well as the album, is about being caught in the moment. from fragile harmonic and melodic intonations to towering, ecstatic drones and electrical disturbances this album captures a balance betwen noise and harmony, excitation and calmness, distance and intimacy - drawing you into a hypnotic, psychedelic sound-world that belongs uniquely to minit. now right here is a fragile, immersive and emotional album.

minit is jasmine guffond and torben tilly. they are currently living and working in berlin.

"whenever i talked to him over the last weeks, it seemed that wherever he was, he had a version of lifelike running in the background - in his house, at friends’ houses, in his car (very often), and i suspect that once he even persuaded the owner of a pub to put it on. why he did this? certainly not to show off, because he is by nature a shy person. my guess is that he wanted to change the record by listening to it. he has been working for a long time on his first ever solo-outing, which also is - if i’m not greatly mistaken - the first official solo album of any of the original faust members ever to be released."

joseph suchy - "calabi.yau" cd/lp

"not a rocker. not an electronic artist. a sensual, a feeling person. no copy-art. in these times of senseless struggles for sovereignty at the musicians' regular table, suchy is the cowboy with the indian's face." this is what one of germany's biggest daily newspapers recently wrote about joseph suchy, "cologne's very own professor of guitar research". they got it spot on.

in the global improv & avantgarde community, the born franconian is no unknown person. he collaborated with artists like david grubbs, ekkehard ehlers, niobe and fx randomiz; he is a permanent member of burnt friedmann's nub dub players; and he was one of the founders of cologne-based cult-improv-label grob. the musical sensitivity of this slightly odd artist in his mid-forties is hard to match."calabi.yau" is suchy's new solo-outing. it's a music of delicate sounds, in which acoustic guitars and electro-acoustic signals are woven into non-linear, fragile sound sculptures. at times, this music borders on sensory deception (what is this sound? electric or acoustic?); it is an illustrated broadsheet of a strange, yet familiar reality. suchy cunningly and imperturbably evades the categorisations of contemporary modern music: what he does is giving his listeners a carte blanche to dream. or, as the artist himself puts it: "music in search of the freakwave".

"reconnaissance" is the first duo release by australian composers oren ambarchi and martin ng from sydney - a trilogy of pieces based upon the fluid architectural modulation of harmonics and resonances. recalling the landmark experiments of the sonic arts union (robert ashley, david behrman, alvin lucier and gordon mumma), ambarchi and ng create an enigmatic tapestry of pulsing, shimmering and shifting sound which represents a subtle and compelling realignment of eastern and western minimalist traditions.

sack's five tracks are classic examples of his unique toy techno goes dada pop style.

staubgold 5 institut für feinmotorik - "wenig information: kein titel" mini-lp

institut für feinmotorik (= institute for precision motoricity) is a project which is interested in the complex relationship between perception of micro-phenomenons in acoustic and visual spheres and the precisioned stumbling through micro-social behaviour in daily situations. on this mini lp the group’s work is focused on the acoustic sphere beyond usual gain signals. elements of noise containing no original sense emerge to significant structures. the setup consists of six to eight "empty" record players which means that no gain signals but the empty or manipulated lock grooves or the paper labels of the records are played. besides that institut für feinmotorik have found some other ways to generate acoustic signals out of empty record players: house-rubberbands, adhesive tape and tooth brushes are just a few instruments used to produce different sounds. not only for friends of minimal techno in brinkmann and studio 1 style.
