  Tape, edition of 100

  After DEBRIS (PM014, 2020), DUST is the second album by the electronic music duo Aries Zaes. Their four-to-the-floor aesthetic is danceable and comes with its own drive, and yet enlivens analog textures made from noise and otherwise normally inaudible matter.

  DUST is released on tape as well as the known digital platforms. Similar to its predecessor, DUST is recorded on an assemblage of both historic and contemporary sound modules and synthesizers, including the Arp2500, Moog DFAM und Mother 32, Roland Szstem 500, Korg MS20, Doepfer System 100, Korg Volca Series.

  ZUDO - LOGOS | ZUΔO - ΛOΓOΣ

  Released on 23rd of April 2023

  The music of ZUDO is a result of their unique technical setup and the duo’s action of playing. The channel routing of alto clarinet, multiple guitar effects and live amping of Christof Zurbuchen combined with the sounds of Mario Dotta’s selected vinyl records, turntablism and diverse electronics define its sonic aesthetics.

  By using previous releases of the label’s own catalog, the group accomplished to treat the issue in a very charming way to furthermore celebrate the label’s 10-year anniversary with its 20th release.

• LVKK - Stromfragment

  PM016
  L V K K - Stromgragment

  Released on 30th of September 2022
  Vinyl, edition of 200

  L V K K is inspired by stonemasons not only because of the spelling of his name. Besides solidly asphalted roads, he is mainly interested in what lies by the wayside: Gravel, lumps of stone, weeds and rubbish of all kinds. His music is based on a dense foundation of low frequencies, to which abrupt impulses, particles and fragments expand crashingly into the periphery. Like a cloud of dust, this multi-layered sound sculpture is surrounded by shimmering and vibrating noises.
  

  The music on the debut album Stromfragment is characterised by low-fi samples and field recordings that are combined, arranged and mixed to create an immersive sound experience. The whole thing takes place in a sonically industrial environment, which is reinterpreted by melodic synth sounds into a place to dance. The low tempo of the tracks, which is unusual for the genre, is given an unusually progressive drive by the steadily progressing compression.

  Act Two let’s you dive deeper into sound thinkerer Otto von Ohr’s very own sound sphere. Modelling field recordings, live recordings and analogue sounds into unruly sound figures with growling motors, pinching beats, rumbling bass lines and hauntingly mystical melodies; there is a persuasive nature of Otto von Ohr’s versatile approach to music. On Act Two bumpy drone edits mix with narrative leftfield techno. Otto goes bonkers!

  Aries and Zaes mill sound components precisely, into warm wholesome synth forms. They can twist themselves into their own threads. Still, human nuance, quirks, sound freckles. pop.stroke.pop. Tracks to dance up, dance down tracks. Aries-and-Zaes-made compositional systems, which take on a momentum of their own.

  Released on 1st of november 2019
  Vinyl, edition of 150

  With Act Three, Otto von Ohr dives even deeper into his world of sound and further consolidates his musical corset. Nevertheless, he swings between two poles - experiment and groove. With an overflowing fund of references, the gifted sound-spinner welds together field recordings, digital sound snippets and analog sound fragments to form unruly sound figures. They reveal their persuasive power through hissing engines, oppressive beats, rumbling bass lines, chopped up speech fragments and mystical melodies. All this blends into bumpy drone etudes and curious leftfield techno stories. Otto goes bonkers again!

  Colourful fabrics and magical canvas.
  Possessed dancers and fantastic singers.
  Ancestral storyteller and fortune-teller.
  Blind children and fallen angels."

  Am Kap  Due To My Absence
  
  Released on 2nd of december 2016
  Vinyl & Download, edition of 200

  Tomorrow everything is going to be different - but the search still did not finish. The debut of Am Kap is an approach of remaking an event, for which vocabulary alone is too limited. Due To My Absence is filled with creations of unknown moods and contrastful moments. A voice is guiding through a journey which is not following known rules of beginning or ending. Nor the faces of the trio, nor the beats or their BPMs tell you wheter there stands an engaging night in front or behind you.

  Constant changes, complex patterns fast rhythms and disturbing sounds. All the elements end up in a relaxing bath of electronic, glitch inspired instrumental music. Produced in St Petersburg, realised and finished in Bern and Zurich.
  Once you realize all things that you do matter. Then you start trying to control all of them. But when all those things happen, you immediately lose all desire to control them. You are a spectator of life. Any feeling is transformed into a moment. How long it remains in memory depends on the strength of feelings. There is a unique opportunity to leave the desire to control. Simply contemplate the transformation of feelings.

  Outlineseries#13 is the consequence of the concept. This time, artists could pick an outline from another artist to perpetuate it. A selection of outlines will be compiled into a final product.
  The concept of this final compilation is not one central theme anymore, but, the focus is on the action of adapting and conducting. Outlineseries#13 is a body of well-balanced single patches.

  Outlineseries was a great experience for everybody involved.
  During the work, again and again, there came up a lot of exchange, fun and surprise.

  Outlineseries is a concept of instrumental compilations. 
  The project started with Outlineseries#1 CYAN on 01.01.12. 
  The ending of 2012 and the series was concluded by Outlineseries #12 DEAD on 12.12.12
  
  The aim is to combine songs from different artists with different styles and backgrounds. The process to create one issue takes a full month. The name of each release represents a central theme. The artists should try to structure their compositions according to the topic and not glean from each other. This creation process lends its name to the production and all the 89 produced songs are complete in themselves, even though they function as outlines in a constructed body.
