2005 synopsis: past, present and future |
|
thatīs
it again. 2005 is over, so let us have a look back. 2005 was a long year
and a short year, it was hard and successful. svenīs electronica group sellafield
released the second album random and made a little but outstanding
tour. the dissident(en) club released the second album science fiction (a masterpiece and highly praised and good selling record) and also had some outstanding gigs like the one in the musiktheater im revier. at least sven remixed a day at the sea of his solo debut album portrait from 1999 and released it with representative songs from every albums from sven, dc and sfd. the collection is called retrospective excerpt and gives a good overview on the past six years of svenīs soundworks. what about now? sven said, and this is no rumour, he already has songs for the next sven album, only lyrics have to compleated and the songs need to be recorded. additionally, sellafield also have recorded about two hours of new material. sven mentioned on sellafield-online.com that the new tracks are more deconstructed and full of tiny details but grooving like a cracked robot. the new tracks sound dirty and are close to the limits of digital production, so the next sellafield release will be really state of the art and even more surprising than sfd have done before. the working title for the new album is interim static. the dissident(en) club is also working on new stuff. science fiction was a so unbelievable good album, so the dissidents said, they will not copy what they have done before, they are looking for new borders. so what can we expect? everything is in a process now, if we read the signs properly we can say: it seems like there will definitly be a new sellafield album in 2006. we also hope for a new sven album but nothing is save. the dissident(en) club also hasnīt confirmed anything but making another outstanding record. we must be happy with this infos for the moment. so what`s left? happy new yearīs eve to all of you from all at svennet! coming up in 2006: heavy rotation 2005 - this year with herpes gugushi! find the right links to dissident(en) club and sellafield here what about you? any questions?

sven piayda - retrospective excerpt : limited edition give-away |
|
as
we all wait for the free download of a day at the sea 2005
zany music has created something very special for the christmas time. although
zany music and svennet offer so much free music for download, many people
started requests for tiny cds to get an idea on svenīs musical manoeuvres.
in 2004 zm released portfolio, a limited five track ep, featuring
songs from sven, even unreleased versions of sheīs fragile and maisonette
sunset, see below. this time it was a little bit more difficult, because sven recorded so much with his two main projects dissident(en) club and sellafield. it would have been incomplete to simply concentrate on his solo work, so the new limited collection illustrates his wide range of styles from rock to industrial, pop to avantgarde and electronica to noise - all on one disc for the first time. the tracklist can bee seen in the image above, next to the cover. as you see (hopefully) each track represents a certain album. and: a day at the sea 2005 will be featured on this release only. before you can download the song you can already watch the video here. now: this is your chance: retrospective excerpt is no album, it is a collection of tracks to help you to find orientation in svenīs musical universe and his many albums. if you want to get a copy, mail us and tell us here have fun! what about you? any questions?

tracks will be used for "sense check" as well. other tracks will be taken
from the released sellafield albums "random" and "permutations". sven also said, the progress on the new solo album develops quite slow only, so no release date or time for new sounds cannot be told right now. but still, the release for "a day at the sea 2005" is scheduled for december 2005. you can already watch the video here. anyway, the progress on new sellafield stuff will be reported on the official sellafield site, find the right link to sellafield here what about you? any questions?

herpes and sven at art cologne |
|
every
year in the end of october you can meet sven at the art cologne, this time
with herpes gugushi (see picture above) an some more people. sven reported
to be happy to join the fair again (he an art cologne fan since 2000), but
he also mentioned to be a little bit disappointed. according to him the
fair was a lot smaller than the years before, and the exhibitioned art seemed
a little bit disoriented, only a couple of highlights. this didnīt stop
the two "dissidents" to spend much money on magazines and catalogues of
their favourite artists: herpes bought everything from wolfgang tillmans, sven took everything he could get from jeff wall. you can see how strongly they are coined by these artists if you have a look at their visual work on herpesgugushi.com and svenpiayda.com. have a look. the dissident(en) club will record new stuff in the next months, a well as sven is playing around with ideas for a new solo album, so letīs see... what about you? any questions?

they really sounded very noisy and punklike on the one hand, but also very
spheric and rockesque on the other. some of the fans said that this was their best gig so far, sorry if you missed it. herpes did a great performance, jumping, dancing, creeping, although he had a bad cold, so, get well soon! sign my cd!!! sign my cd!!! sign my cd!!! sign my cd!!! the band managed to get some new fans so they had to sign many cds after the show, above you see sven, herp and holy writing their names on the perfectly designed and manufactured science fiction cds. let's have a look on all scheduled sven-related releases for 2005 (so far): 2005-05-23 dissident(en) club: sonne (digital single via dissidentenclub.com) 2005-06-20 dissident(en) club: science fiction (cd album) 2005-07-04 sellafield: random (cd album) 2005-??-?? sellafield: sense check (dvd video) find the right links to dissident(en) club and sellafield here what about you? any questions?

although
sven has been working with dissident(en) club on the new dc album there
was also time to work with his abstract idm electronica collective sellafield
on the new album. according to sven the new album "random" is finished
(maybe there are some little things to do) and will be even more abstract
and wired than the debut "permutations", but, so he says, it is even more
melodic and easygoing on other parts. the album will feature a simple and
very beautiful minimal artwork and will come up with two different covers.
so far, no images are on the net, so if there are images you will find out
here. next to the new release, "timber" (2004) from record
of tides will be added to the back catalogue of sellafield. there is a new interview with sven - and herpes gugushi who also collaborated with the collective for "random" - on dissidentenclub.com, find the link here dissident(en) club live at the musiktheater im revier 2005-04-15 order your tickets here what about you? any questions?

he said, "everything comes together what fits together in this special place:
music, fine arts, acting and of course a little humour. additionally we
are doing this for good purposes, collecting money for a good thing by simply

of all, it looks like as if zany music will not release the next sven album
in 2005. we are sorry to tell you so. but here are three good reasons to
feel better: 1. according to sven it is planned to write and and maybe record the new songs for a new album in autumn or winter this year. nothing's save so far. 2. sven is also working with sellafield on new tracks. so far, there is no release date for 2005 planned, there is even just a rumour on the working title: "random" (remember, it is a rumour) 3. sven is also working with the dissident(en) club on the follow up album for "gift". according to the rising sign label, the new dc album is scheduled for late spring or summer 2005. (sven said the first versions sound better than everything this group did before.) so, here is our list of albums you definitely have to buy this year: 1. beck - guero 2005-03-29 2. daft punk - human after all 2005-03-14 3. autechre - untilted 2005-04-18 (no cover available so far) 4. dissident(en) club - tba. 2005-0?-??
