2020 synopsis: past, present and future
the
last year has been a special one for all of us, fortunately we can look back on
art shows, releases, collaborations, live performances, podcasts and new products.
also we look back on work which had not been taken up, postponements and cancellations.
we are lucky to look back on different art shows featuring work by sven
piayda like the ‘ansehBar’ show exhibiting work on billboards in public space
in the city of gelsenkirchen as curated by the szeniale team. we also look
back on ‘we don´t pray for love – we just pray for cars’ curated by maren ullrich
and roger rohrbach at alter wartesaal in herne showing the ‘happy prince’ tableau.
piayda also brought the ‘future perfect (lvb#10)’ vinyl record to the beethoven
show ‘schöner!’ at ruhr gallery as curated by klaus wiesel. once again karla
köhler brought up the collaborative video ‘granada interface (the lost tapes)’
to her retrospective at edel extra in nürnberg.
unfortunately the studio
has worked for over a year on piayda´s solo show ‘needle in the multiverse’ which
was supposed to be shown at kunstwerden un essen in november but had to be postponed
to date in 2021 which is not fixed yet. also we are happy to announce that
the ludwiggalerie schloss oberhausen has added sven piayda´s video piece ‘duracell
tape after vom bruch and fibonacci’ (2016) to their collection.
during the first lock
down staring in march piayda worked and finished on different music productions
which had not been released yet and haven´t been scheduled for release. he actually
released record of tides’ ‘black album’ on kreislauf.organisation. a little later,
bound to an park-based sound only exhibition project, zany music released new
versions from selected ‘solna’ tracks on a transparent and limited vinyl only
entitled ‘aural park’, which is also available via bandcamp now.
next
to autonomous works piayda also took time for two collaborations: following the
call for remixes by british post rock band gallops piayda produced a remix of
‘darkjewel’. the remix project came to nothing, piayda announced is disappointment
on his blog and relead the remix via /CAMP. (he you can also fin the ‘thug life’
hip hop mixtape.) around easter michael schreiber (using the stage name ‘all notes
off’ at that time) and piayda started to create a series of remixes mostly of
tracks originally put out by the other one. all these rework and remix attempts
ended up on the remix album ‘altered stems’ released on zany music.
michael
scheiber changed his stage name to ‘primal scapes’ in advance to avoid legal issues
and invited AESTATE´s chis huff for bass and sven piayda for guitar to join the
production of the new name´s debut album. the album ‘entertain’ is available on
compact disc and digitally and gained great feedback. the album is supposed to
be presented live in 2021. scheiber and piayda confirmed further collaborations,
future projects are not known to date. both have also collaborated on a visual
project for ‘random chaos’, which can be found in the portfolio.
2020
has not been a good year for live shows, nevertheless record of tides played two
venues and turned town all requests for digital events. according to piayda 2020
features one of the worst and one of the best shows he had done so far, starting
with a badly timed and mislead set at ‘beats im bunker’ back in february at medienbunker
in duisburg. fortunately record of tides appeared again for a preponed set for
the ‘feuer und flamme’ festival at marienkirche in herne. the compact set was
escorted by a performance by contemporary dancer josie kalies and was documented
via live bootleg.
even
after the decision to not start an own podcast series, piayda appeared twice on
chris brauck´s ‘natürliche ausrede’ podcast, at first to talk about his art and
music and returned to interview braucks to put a deeper focus on the host. next
to the word based podcast piayda was repeatedly featured with music of different
and recent projects on the syndae podcast as hosted by stefan schulz.
the
studio did not produce new tableaus or photo prints for the wall in 2020 but came
up with vinyl editions and memory games. in collaboration with ravensburger the
studio presented a memory game based showing the tableaus of the last years. also
it presented the ‘multiverse memory’, an enhanced version of the classic memory
game which was and still is supposed to be part of the sven piayda solo show at
kunstwerden in essen.
the
studio is in negotiation with different partners and has scheduled postponed but
dateless shows. piayda is also working on new music, we hope for a new record
of tides album in 2021. comedian and singer 1satzleiter has announced a remix
of his song ‘eltern’ to appear on his new album ‘kontrast’ to be put out february
21.
we are thrilled
to finally present the marienkirche live bootleg. this 30-minute live set
was recorded just two weeks ago and is all about what record of tides live is
recently. next to tracks from 'black album', 'endurance' and 'aural park', this
set delivers some new tracks with computer voived vocals and jungle beats. a big
thank you again to roger rohrbach and everyone of the 'feuer und flamme' staff
and to josie kalies for dancing and recording.
you can get the live recording
for free from archive.org. have
a look at the oiginal albums avalable over at bandcamp.
we
sad to announce the postponement of the new sven piayda solo exhibition at essen-based
kunstverein kunstwerden which was originally scheduled to be opened on sunday,
november 8 at 4 pm. the show entitled ‘needle in the multiverse’ as curated by
petra steinhardt combines multiple disciplines and aesthetic impressions. on october
21 the kunstwerden directorate has decided to close their rooms in reaction to
rising infection cases of the covid-19 pandemic. the show is supposed to be opened
when infection numbers go down again. the kunstverein kunstwerden and piayda considered
working together back in 2013 and have scheduled a 2020 show back in autumn last
year. as a result of the covid-19 pandemic a fixed opening date had not been announced
as the pandemic development might have delayed announced dates. the studio has
been working on this project for over a year now. during the lockdown certain
sneak peeks have been posted via news and journal.
recently
on display: in november 2018 the galerie treppenhaus in erlangen opened ‘hochhaus
- hütte – hinterhof, der reiz des ungeliebten‘ by thomas r. hoeß, gabriella héjja
and karla köhler. the exhibition featured collaborative works by karla köhler
and sven piayda like the ‘granada interface’ music video for record of tides,
the ‘from new york to los angeles’ series and the ‘k-city’ series. the exhibition
ended in february 2019 but returned now as permanent exhibition in the first floor
of galerie treppenhaus. this permanent version of the show only features köhler´s
and piayda´s ‘k-city’ series. the exhibition is supposed to be on display until
spring 2020. galerie-treppenhaus.de
back
in 2015 sven piayda was asked to do an online exhibition at gallerie tellerand,
a gelsenkirchen based online only gallery project. after being very sceptical
at first, the studio developed a show dealing with the issues of digital presentation
and reduced dimensions presented in disciplines like photography, cgi, video and
sound. the show was launched on november 1st 2015 and was extended to be shown
until january 2016, featuring introduction text and conversation with gallerist
michael em walter. the digital show vanished from the web and after the following
show the gallery quit business. now, the gallery has updated the achieves and
‘#howdeepisyourlove’ has returned to the digital screen, you experience the virtual
only show as it was drafted and presented back in 2015, see links below. also:
‘four seasons after arcimboldo’ have been part oft he show, they are now on display
as postcard versions at galerie gublia in essen.

temporary studio closing and 2020 portfolio update
after
a productive and lucrative but also special year sven piayda studio will close
for the winter season. caused by issues concerning production progression, postponed
but completely drafted and produced shows as well as a lack of opportunity to
present new works in exhibitions, the studio will close until february 2021.
before
closing, the studio has finally added long awaited works to the portfolio. the
update contains 11 tableau works as well as series and video which are parts of
the ‘multiverse’ video and memory game. the ‘needle in the multiverse’ show at
kunstwerden in essen had been scheduled for november but had been postponed because
of pandemic issues. it is supposed to be on display in 2021.

programmer michael schreiber delivering the algorithm which once created the square
colour composition in gerhard richter´s cologne cathedral window. additionally
the studio has presented concepts for shows and collaborations to take place in
spring and summer 2021.
piayda´s
sound piece/vinyl object called ‘future perfect (lvb#10)' was supposed to be shown
surrounded by further round artworks at kunstmuseum temporär (kunstmuseum mülheim
an der ruhr) in december, caused by pandemic related lockdown measures the show
will be postponed to a so far unknown date. cross your fingers.
sven
piayda is recently focussing on working on a new record of tides album. the piece
is supposed to be finished in 2020 and may be out in spring. new tracks had appeared
in his last live set at marienkirche herne and may be part of the upcoming album.
new live performances are also in the making as the collaboration with contemporary
dancer josie kalies is supposed to be continued. additionally piayda has finally
collaborated with 1satzleiter aka dean heuke. their plans of working together
had been announced back in 2017 (see picture above) and have been postponed ever
since. piayda has finally and actually produced a remix as record of tides which
is supposed to be released on 1satzleiter´s upcoming album ‘kontrast’ next to
the original track. the album is announced for february 2021 and is supposed to
be available digitally only via different streaming platforms. next to josie kalies
1satzleiter is believed to be performing special guest for live performances.

the
studio also has prepared a contribution for the 2020 lisaluna short film festival

wrote about developing and starting a podcast series back in autumn 2018 but dismissed
the project in summer 2019. however, further episodes are in consideration and

by looking back and realizing again that time flies, we would like to draw your

difficulties while piayda focussed on productions to be released as AESTATE. now,

a second video snipped is supposed to be around and may came up. record of tides

we
sad to announce the postponement of the new sven piayda solo exhibition at essen-based
kunstverein kunstwerden which was originally scheduled to be opened on sunday,
november 8 at 4 pm. the show entitled ‘needle in the multiverse’ as curated by
petra steinhardt combines multiple disciplines and aesthetic impressions. on october
21 the kunstwerden directorate has decided to close their rooms in reaction to
rising infection cases of the covid-19 pandemic. the show is supposed to be opened
when infection numbers go down again. the kunstverein kunstwerden and piayda considered
working together back in 2013 and have scheduled a 2020 show back in autumn last
year. as a result of the covid-19 pandemic a fixed opening date had not been announced
as the pandemic development might have delayed announced dates. the studio has
been working on this project for over a year now. during the lockdown certain
sneak peeks have been posted via news and journal.
the
show is supposed to feature the ‘multiverse memory’, a variation of the well known
ravensburger memory card game. it will feature 48 cards produced by ravensburger
while appearing slightly different than the original game, while playing the players
will have to modify the rules to get along with the game. as the game is not on
sale, the studio offers ‘multiverse memory card set’ editions consisting of three
memory cards featuring works from different (and previously unreleased) mini series.
while the sets will be offered as editions escorting the ‘needle in the multiverse’,
you can purchase them now already for bargain price.
as
you see, the multiverse memory card sets consists of three original six by six
centimetre ravensburger memory cards with the typical blue typography in rapport.
(click image for full view)
the
studio has started to work on a large video project combining an endless but non-looping
sequence and degas´ 'little dancer'. the studio has finished a first sequence,
but project has sopped caused by technical difficulties and will not be finished
before 2021. more in the journal, updated to be announced asap. cross your fingers.
it
is our massive pleasure to announce that the studio is now offering a memory game
featuring sven piayda´s tableau works as pictured on the cards. the memory game
has been produced by ravensburger on demand, the german traditional company ravensburger
has originally developed the memory game and has put it on the market first.
the piayda memory game features 72 cards (i.e. 36 different tableaus on 36 pairs),
a tin box and a booklet explaining the memory game rules in different languages,
all in ravensburger quality, see picture above. please note: this version is not
a regular release by ravensburger, it is not available from the company.
the memory game is one of many ideas of the studio to create output next to artworks
or art shows and is now entering new contexts. also, the studio is recently working
on a variation of the memory game to play an important part in an upcoming solo
show. you will find out about the development of this new game here.
the
memory game is available exclusively from the studio. if you are interested in
getting your version, please mail to studio[at]svenpiayda.com, also to get info
on the price, shipping cost and delivery time span. have a look at more pictures
of the piayda memory game over at the studio

it is our massive
pleasure to announce the release of 'black album', the sixth full length album
by record of tides. the album is out once again on the hamburg based netlabel
kreislauf.org and is available digitally and free. kreislauf.org has already released
the reissue of record of tides´ debut 'timber' from 2004 in 2014, the follow
up 'vessel' in 2016, the 2017 album ‘solna’ and the 2018 album ‘endurance’.
‘black
album’ has been programmed, recorded and produced between autumn 2016 and spring
2019. the album features 10 tracks and is mostly inspired by aphex twin and boards
of canada (also some autechre for deconstructed parts) again, there are no guitars
or any acoustic instruments on the album. the album is prominent for bocesque
sounds and melodies while contrasting complex beat programming.
some new
tracks have already appeared in record of tides live sets of the last three years,
sometimes in alternative versions. you may like to check the bootlegs and snippets
floating in the net for new sounds.
kreislauf.org label boss andreas buttweiler
and sven piayda have been discussing the holding of the release date (which had
been around behind closed doors before) in times of the on-going crises. both
agreed that releasing the album digitally only does not need any close distance
personal contact. also enjoying new music is primarily something personal you
probably do for yourself, in your living room, your car, via headphones in the
garden or doing sports. this release does not conflict with current social distancing
rules. even feedback, discussions and reviews usually appear in digital media.

by sven piayda:
Sven Piayda ‘Needle In the Multiverse’ November
bis 11. Dezember 2020, Eröffnung am 8. November 2020 von 15 bis 18 Uhr
Mit
Sven Piayda ist in der kommenden Ausstellung ein Künstler zu Gast, der mit unterschiedlichsten
Medien arbeitet und so zu einer multiästhetischen Erfahrung einlädt.
In
Reaktion auf den Raum präsentiert und verwebt er jetzt hier Fotografie, Video
unter Einbeziehung von computergenerierten Bildern und gefundenem Filmmaterial
mit Sound und Musik. So ermöglichen beispielsweise ein längerer Animationsfilm
mit seinem Soundtrack und ein ausliegendes Memory-Spiel, das die Krux fixer Regelwerke
in der Betrachtung der Dinge aufzeigt, ein immersives Erlebnis. Seine Arbeiten
sind voller Querverweise auf Wissenschaft, Kunstgeschichte und Popkultur und zitieren
beispielsweise die Sondenmissionen der NASA, Leonardo da Vincis Landschaften,
linguistische Modelle des Schweizer Wissenschaftlers Ferdinand de Saussures oder
die Multiversumstheorie des amerikanischen Physikers Hugh Everretts. Mit seinen
Werken in dieser Ausstellung reflektiert Piayda hier vor allem eines: die Betrachtung
von Dingen, deren Möglichkeiten sowohl limitiert als auch unendlich erscheinen
und ohne offene und unvoreingenommene Selbstreflexion nicht zu denken sind. Hierfür
agiert er in seinen Arbeiten eingängig als auch provokant.
Sven Piayda
studierte 1998 bis 2003 Gestaltungstechnik an der Universität Essen-Duisburg.
2006 begann er, frei als auch lehrend, verstärkt audiovisuell und computerbasiert
zu arbeiten, wobei Fragen zur eigens verwendeten Medialität als auch generell
zur Wahrnehmung immer wieder eine wichtige Rolle spielen. 2016 erhielt er den
Förderpreis des Ruhrpreises für Kunst und Wissenschaft.
the show,
its opening and aligned events will fit recent pandemic related hygienic rules.
sven piayda is expected to be present during the opening. all info at
the bottom of this post.
the
show is supposed to feature the ‘multiverse memory’, a variation of the well known
ravensburger memory card game. it will feature 48 cards produced by ravensburger
while appearing slightly different than the original game, while playing the players
will have to modify the rules to get along with the game. as the game is not on

the
kunstverein schollbrockhaus in herne has opened a group show entitled ‘fisch’
last saturday, october 10. next to paintings by marayle küpper and daniela werth
the exhibition features the ‘la mer’ sound piece by sven piayda. the 2013 work
will sound through the exhibition running until october 25. the show will be on
for three weekends only. above you see the installation view at lutherturm in
cologne for LTK4. have a look at the current installation by checking the exhibitions
section.
piayda's sound installation ‘la mer’ (2013) is based on
the famous french chanson ‘la mer’ by charles trenet from 1946, which also became
famous in numerous cover versions and whose original version is one of the soundtracks
of numerous feature films. piayda has abstracted the song into something informal,
so to speak, by compressing it to two seconds and then stretching it to one hour,
neither trenet's voice nor a word can be heard, but only texture remains [...].

as
the opening is scheduled for saturday afternoon, october, participating artists
among piayda are expected to be present. all info at the bottom of this post.
on

had returned to display: ’happy prince’, a 2016 cgi-photography, is one of the
works which had been on shows quite regularly. last friday, october 16, the show
was closed after some weeks of well-attended opening hours and guided tours. the
young curators ullrich and rohrbach have drafted a group show concept for kreativ.quartier
wanne (hallenbad) and alter wartesaal im bahnhof herne in a great way, communication
and management concerning visitors and artists have been exemplary. additionally

it is our massive
pleasure to announce the release of 'black album', the sixth full length album
by record of tides. the album is out once again on the hamburg based netlabel
kreislauf.org and is available digitally and free. kreislauf.org has already released
the reissue of record of tides´ debut 'timber' from 2004 in 2014, the follow
up 'vessel' in 2016, the 2017 album ‘solna’ and the 2018 album ‘endurance’.
‘black
album’ has been programmed, recorded and produced between autumn 2016 and spring
2019. the album features 10 tracks and is mostly inspired by aphex twin and boards
of canada (also some autechre for deconstructed parts) again, there are no guitars
or any acoustic instruments on the album. the album is prominent for bocesque
sounds and melodies while contrasting complex beat programming.
some new
tracks have already appeared in record of tides live sets of the last three years,
sometimes in alternative versions. you may like to check the bootlegs and snippets
floating in the net for new sounds.
kreislauf.org label boss andreas buttweiler
and sven piayda have been discussing the holding of the release date (which had
been around behind closed doors before) in times of the on-going crises. both
agreed that releasing the album digitally only does not need any close distance
personal contact. also enjoying new music is primarily something personal you
probably do for yourself, in your living room, your car, via headphones in the
garden or doing sports. this release does not conflict with current social distancing
rules. even feedback, discussions and reviews usually appear in digital media.
feedback is well appreciated.
‘black album’ is available now and is released
via kreislauf.org
and is distribued via archive.org.
still on: record of tides´
recent albums ‘collected riffing works’ and ‘endurance’ are still available from
zany music and kreislauf.org. you may like to check tem out among further releases
over at archive.org.
recently
on display: in november 2018 the galerie treppenhaus in erlangen opened ‘hochhaus
- hütte – hinterhof, der reiz des ungeliebten‘ by thomas r. hoeß, gabriella héjja
and karla köhler. the exhibition featured collaborative works by karla köhler
and sven piayda like the ‘granada interface’ music video for record of tides,
the ‘from new york to los angeles’ series and the ‘k-city’ series. the exhibition
ended in february 2019 but returned now as permanent exhibition in the first floor
of galerie treppenhaus. this permanent version of the show only features köhler´s
and piayda´s ‘k-city’ series. the exhibition is supposed to be on display until
spring 2020. galerie-treppenhaus.de
back
in 2015 sven piayda was asked to do an online exhibition at gallerie tellerand,
a gelsenkirchen based online only gallery project. after being very sceptical
at first, the studio developed a show dealing with the issues of digital presentation
and reduced dimensions presented in disciplines like photography, cgi, video and
sound. the show was launched on november 1st 2015 and was extended to be shown
until january 2016, featuring introduction text and conversation with gallerist
michael em walter. the digital show vanished from the web and after the following
show the gallery quit business. now, the gallery has updated the achieves and
‘#howdeepisyourlove’ has returned to the digital screen, you experience the virtual
only show as it was drafted and presented back in 2015, see links below. also:
‘four seasons after arcimboldo’ have been part oft he show, they are now on display
as postcard versions at galerie gublia in essen.

kunstwerden opens sven piayda solo show november 8
it
is our massive pleasure to announce the opening of the new sven piayda solo exhibition
at essen-based kunstverein kunstwerden on sunday, november 8 at 4 pm. the show
will be entitled ‘needle in the multiverse’ as curated by petra steinhardt and
will combine multiple disciplines and aesthetic impressions. the kunstverein
kunstwerden and piayda considered working together back in 2013 and have scheduled
a 2020 show back in autumn last year. as a result of the covid-19 pandemic a fixed
opening date had not been announced as the pandemic development might have delayed
announced dates. the studio has been working on this project for over a year now
and is still not completely finished. during the lockdown certain sneak peeks
have been posted via news and journal.
the press text states a following:
in his solo exhibition for kunstwerden e.v., sven piayda combines photography,
video, cgi, found footage, sound and music to create a multi-aesthetic experience.
an almost half-hour animated film and the one-hour soundtrack enable immersive
immersion - as well as a memory game on display, which makes it possible to experience
the crux of fixed rules when viewing things. full of cross-references to science,
art history, and pop culture, the works from the last seven years quote nasa's
probe missions, de saussure's linguistic models, leonardo da vinci's landscapes,
and hugh everett's multiverse theory. the exhibition reflects the observation
of things with limited means between infinite zooming out and authentic self-reflection:
is the answer to the question of divine genius to be found in the interuniversal,
in the transcendent or in ourselves?
the show, its opening and aligned
events will fit recent pandemic related hygienic rules. sven piayda is expected
to be present during the opening. all info at the bottom of this post.
the
show is supposed to feature the ‘multiverse memory’, a variation of the well known
ravensburger memory card game. it will feature 48 cards produced by ravensburger
while appearing slightly different than the original game, while playing the players
will have to modify the rules to get along with the game. michaela best already
reported on instagram about testing the piece: when I was a child I have been
a memory master. today I have unpacked this ability again to win a more complex
variation of the memory the first time - the multiverse memory by sven piayda.
unlike the normal memory, three (!) cards with different motives always belong
together. sounds confusing and so it is. maximum difficulty level. the multiverse
memory is a work for an upcoming exhibition of sven piayda in essen at the end
of the year. so you will have the opportunity to prove your memory skills! single
sets of three can be purchased as an edition.
kunstwerden
and the studio will offer ‘multiverse memory card set’ editions consisting of
three memory cards featuring works from different (and previously unreleased)
mini series. the multiverse memory card sets consists of three original six by
six centimetre ravensburger memory cards with the typical blue typography in rapport.
while the sets will be offered as editions escorting the ‘needle in the multiverse’,
you can purchase them for a moderate price. additionally postcards featuring different
tableaus oft eh last years will be available as well.
kunstwerden
offers a very interesting space to show work. actually it is fitting perfectly
tot he complex show concept. we hope to offer a good documentation of teh show.
all
info at the bottom of this post.
the
kunstverein schollbrockhaus in herne has opened a group show entitled ‘fisch’
last saturday, october 10. next to paintings by marayle küpper and daniela werth
the exhibition features the ‘la mer’ sound piece by sven piayda. the 2013 work
will sound through the exhibition running until october 25. the show will be on
for three weekends only. above you see the installation view at lutherturm in
cologne for LTK4. have a look at the current installation by checking the exhibitions
section.
piayda's sound installation ‘la mer’ (2013) is based on
the famous french chanson ‘la mer’ by charles trenet from 1946, which also became
famous in numerous cover versions and whose original version is one of the soundtracks
of numerous feature films. piayda has abstracted the song into something informal,
so to speak, by compressing it to two seconds and then stretching it to one hour,
neither trenet's voice nor a word can be heard, but only texture remains [...].

the opening is scheduled for saturday afternoon, october, participating artists
among piayda are expected to be present. all info at the bottom of this post.
more
info can be found in the press release: sechs künstlerinnen und künstler,
drei wochenenden und ein thema: fisch. das schollbrockhaus zeigt vom 10.10–25.10.2020
sechs sehr unterschiedliche positionen, bei denen der betrachter das thema fisch
mit allen sinnen in teilen sehr überraschend erfahren kann. in stein und holz
gemeißelt von ingrid handzik, werden die formen, bewegungen von fisch und fischigem,
wasser und sich in dem element bewegendem aufgegriffen und in eine eigene formensprache
umgesetzt. in acryl auf großen leinwänden oder auf durchscheinenden acrylplatten
in einer beweglichen rauminstallation, zeigt marayle küpper wie überraschend vielfältig
die unterwasserwelt sein kann. büromaterial: eine schließe aus metall oder kunststoff,
ein stückchen plastik, schwimmt in ein netz, der fisch ist eingefangen. außergewöhnliches
material regt zu phantasievollen darstellungen an, die überraschen und eine ganz
andere sicht auf den fisch ermöglichen. die soundinstallation von sven piayda
basiert auf dem chanson la mer von charles trenet aus dem jahr 1946, welcher gestaucht
und gedehnt geheimnisvoll durch die räumlichkeiten dringt. sie bildet den grundton,
die alle werke im ton anschwellend verbindet. fein, sensibel, zart und im wasser
schwebend, farbenvoll und dezent liegt der meeresbewohner im wasser, vergänglich
und doch präsent, vergehend. in den ölbildern von wilfried weiß zeigt sich die
tiefe der farbe. kraftvoll und nachdrücklich sind daniela werths fische, die sich
morbid, aber mit dynamischer farbigkeit dem betrachter darbieten: als ästhetik
im vergänglichen.
in
the video documentary above you can get an impression of the 2014 piayda solo
exhibition entitled 'show/time' at kunstverein bochumer kulturrat in bochum. the
video featured works by sven piayda from 2009 to 2014 as curated by carsten roth.
next to photography and video the installation 'la mer' sound was part of show.
the video documents installation views of all exhibited works and you can listen
to a snippet of ‘la mar’ as sounding through the rooms of the exhibition.
on
friday, september 18 the curators maren ullrich and roger rohrbach opened the
group show ‘we don´t pray for love – we just pray for cars’ at alter wartesaal
im bahnhof herne. within this show a well-known work of sven piayda´s portfolio
returned to display. the young curators ullrich and rohrbach have drafted a group
show concept which will be on at kreativ.quartier wanne (hallenbad) and alter
wartesaal im bahnhof herne. the alte wartesaal presents piayda´s ’happy prince’,
a 2016 cgi-photography, which is one oft he works which had been in shows quite
often, you can see piayda next to his work in his last solo show at SG1 duisburg
back in 2019.
above you see a picture of ‘happy prince’ as installed at
alter wartesaal herne for ‘we don´t pray for love – we just pray for cars’ as
curated by maren ullrich and roger rohrbach. We look back to a great opening of
a small but exquisite show in a historic place. have a look at all installation
views taken during the opening over at the exhibitions
section.
’happy prince’ shows the red car body of a 1989 ford probe
hovering in dutch woods in autumn. art historian linda schröer states: the
photograph ‘happy prince’ shows a car body floating in the middle of the forest.
the title refers to the short story of the same name by oscar wilde. there, a
richly gem- and gold-studded prince monument cannot bear the misery of his city
any longer, allows itself to be ‘cannibalized’ down to the last treasure and thus
sacrifices itself. at the same time, however, the title also alludes to the artist
richard prince, who is known above all for his astronomical prizes. in the mid-2000s,
prince had stripped muscle cars down or pasted them with images of women and staged
the car as a symbol of freedom, self-determination and independence.
‘the
press text for we don't pray for love - we just pray for cars‘ explains: more
than 2,200 kilometres of motorway run through the state of north rhine-westphalia,
with a total road length of almost 30,000 kilometres, making up about 13% of the
total german road length. the average daily traffic in nrw is significantly higher
than the national average. in short: the ruhr area as a conurbation is more mobile
than ever. especially in times of climate change, however, individual transport
should be critically examined, and its advantages and disadvantages weighed against
each other. the role of the car as a status symbol should be questioned with a
view to the future of all of us. faster, bigger, better - how heavy can and may
such attributes weigh today? an exhibition of contemporary art from the ruhr,
münsterland and rhineland on the subject of mobility and the car as a status symbol.
new album
'entertain' by primal scapes out october 30, 2020. written, performed and produced
by michael schreiber featuring record of tides´ sven piayda and AESTATE´s chris
huff. watch and/or listen to 'humming project'.
we are
happy to announce that the physical copies have arrived and will be definitely
available by october 30. place your orders now via www.primal-scapes.de.
signed copies are also believed to be around, don´t forget to ask for it!
more soon!
michael schreiber states: from the first ideas in april the project has developed
in the following months of song writing and recording. it didn't become a typical
electronic album but rather a mix of electronic and organic elements. besides
some personal leaning how nice this mixture can grow together, it has also provided
further learning effects: if you put two things that are good on their own in
one pot and just stir, it doesn't always taste good - but only if you simplify
the original recipe. through the collaboration with sven piayda, chris huff and
jan van aachen it has become a typical and equally untypical album for me - with
an exciting colour. I am more than satisfied and excited with the result that
it is finally finished. as always, you can't count the hours that go into
such a project, some tracks now carry the internal revision number 15, because
they have struggled with their hands and feet to fit into the overall picture.
also in this project I have learned a lot, especially the combination of electronic
music with hand-played real instruments offers interesting ways to make the clear
to cool electronic structures more organic. see www.primal-scapes.de
update
2020-10-16: we are delighted to announce the upcoming record of tides live
performance. the ‘feuer and flamme’ festival will place art and music in a dedicated
church for four days. it was originally planned to take place during the pentecost

of tides will perform a compact live set on tuesday, november 3. the set will
be an audio performance only, changes and updates will be communicated here. this
will definitely the last performance for 2020, based upon the developing of the
covid-19 community spreading the festival might modify of cancel schedules.

a look at the festival schedule and performance announcements. also have a look
at their website, you free to register your participation to fit pandemic measures.

short introduction guide to get into the art of sven piayda regarding works in
disciplines of photography, video and sound. featuring text by curators, dealers
and assistants. don´t miss: the updated 2020 press kit! (this year´s portfolio
update is supposed to come up soon!)
the
studio has started to work on a large video project combining an endless but non-looping
sequence and degas´ 'little dancer'. the studio has finished a first sequence,
but project has still a long way to go and will not be finished before 2021. more
in the journal, updated to be announced asap.
caused
by the on-going lockdown situation there is no open exhibition on display featuring
work by sven piayda. therefore piayda is recently focussing on producing and releasing
music as well as working in and with the studio on the upcoming ‘needle in the
multiverse’ solo show.
still dates cannot be fixed recently but the show
is expected to open in autumn/winter 2020 or even later. the stow is supposed
to feature the ‘multiverse memory’, a variation of the well known ravensburger
memory card game. it will feature 48 cards produced by ravensburger while appearing
slightly different than the original game, while playing the players will have

studio offers ‘multiverse memory card set’ editions consisting of three memory
cards featuring works from different (and previously unreleased) mini series.
while the sets will be offered as editions escorting the ‘needle in the multiverse’,
you can purchase them now already for bargain price.
as
you see, the multiverse memory card sets consists of three original six by six
centimetre ravensburger memory cards with the typical blue typography in rapport.
(click image for full view)
it
is our massive pleasure to announce that the studio is now offering a memory game
featuring sven piayda´s tableau works as pictured on the cards. the memory game
has been produced by ravensburger on demand, the german traditional company ravensburger
has originally developed the memory game and has put it on the market first.
the piayda memory game features 72 cards (i.e. 36 different tableaus on 36 pairs),
a tin box and a booklet explaining the memory game rules in different languages,
all in ravensburger quality, see picture above. please note: this version is not
a regular release by ravensburger, it is not available from the company.
the memory game is one of many ideas of the studio to create output next to artworks
or art shows and is now entering new contexts. also, the studio is recently working
on a variation of the memory game to play an important part in an upcoming solo
show. you will find out about the development of this new game here.
the
memory game is available exclusively from the studio. if you are interested in
getting your version, please mail to studio[at]svenpiayda.com, also to get info

update
2020-10-07: there are two great reasons to spend the autumn weekends in herne:
sven piayda is contributing to two group shows presented in this city oft he ruhr
area. ‘we don´t pray for love – we just pray for cars’ at alter wartesaal im bahnhof
herne features ’happy prince’, a 2016 cgi-photography which finally back on display,
while the kunstverein schollbrockhaus in herne shows a group show entitled ‘fisch’
featuring the ‘la mer’ sound piece. additionally you can still watch ‘aftermath’
over at the youtube site of the KURZstummfilmfestival. the work will be available
online until october 26.
this
autumn we are celebrating the 21th anniversary of ‘portrait’. on september 25,
1999, zany music released sven piayda’s debut album on compact disc. the album
was well appreciated and is a classic release today, also it was the first compact
disc zany music put out after releasing different tapes in the years before. ‘portrait’
is based upon songs written in the years before, it was recorded in spring and
summer 1999 at roberg records in gelsenkirchen by producer gerd bückins. all programming
of midi and samples had been done by electronic producer thorsten ruby before.
also the tracks became the base for the band ‘apologies’ which was founded as
a classic rock trio back in 2000 to perform the songs live. without any gig but
some open rehearsals the group split off in 2001, so piayda focussed on the follow
up album ‘diptych’. nevertheless, after ‘apologies’ split of, piayda was looking
for an audio-visual follow-up project of this band ending up with ‘timber’ by
record of tides featuring artwork by ‘apologies’ drummer jay hammes.
we are
surprised to read in a news post by PRIMAL SCAPES that AESTATE´s sven piayda as
well as chris huff are performing on the upcoming album 'entertain'. the album
is expected to be available as physical version this autumn. chris huff has not
ben noticed with any musical activities aside from AESTATE who did their last
release 'greatest hits' back in 2015. sven piayda is recently releasing solo work
with record of tides on zany music.
most of the tracks are recorded
- final and already mastered and last ideas are tested, a nice project with lots
of fun is coming to an end. through the collaboration with sven piayda, chris
huff and jan van aachen it has become a typical and equally untypical album for
me - with an exciting colour. I am more than satisfied and excited with the result
that it is finally finished. as always, you can't count the hours that go into
such a project, some tracks now carry the internal revision number 15, because
they have struggled with their hands and feet to fit into the overall picture.
also in this project I have learned a lot, especially the combination of electronic
music with hand-played real instruments offers interesting ways to make the clear
to cool electronic structures more organic. slowly I am looking for a service
provider for the production of the cd, and I think the release will be in october
2020. see www.primal-scapes.de
update
2020-10-03: new album 'entertain' by primal scapes out october 30, 2020. written,
performed and produced by michael schreiber featuring record of tides´ sven piayda
and AESTATE´s chris huff. watch and/or listen to 'humming project'.
michael schreiber states: from the first ideas in april the project has developed
in the following months of song writing and recording. it didn't become a typical
electronic album but rather a mix of electronic and organic elements. besides
some personal leaning how nice this mixture can grow together, it has also provided
further learning effects: if you put two things that are good on their own in
one pot and just stir, it doesn't always taste good - but only if you simplify
the original recipe. through the collaboration with sven piayda, chris huff and
jan van aachen it has become a typical and equally untypical album for me - with
an exciting colour. I am more than satisfied and excited with the result that
it is finally finished. as always, you can't count the hours that go into

it is our massive pleasure to announce an upcoming record of tides live performance.
the ‘feuer and flamme’ festival will place art and music in a dedicated church
for four days. it was originally planned to take place during the pentecost season
but had to be delayed due the covid-19 pandemic. within this festival record of
tides will perform a compact live set on tuesday, november 3, 7pm. up to current
information the set is expected to be audio only, changes and updates will be
communicated here. this will definitely the last performance for 2020, based upon
the developing of the covid-19 community spreading the festival might modify of
cancel schedules.
a
short introduction guide to get into the art of sven piayda regarding works in
disciplines of photography, video and sound. featuring text by curators, dealers
and assistants. don´t miss: the updated 2020 press kit! (this year´s portfolio
update is supposed to come up soon!)
the
studio has started to work on a large video project combining an endless but non-looping
sequence and degas´ 'little dancer'. the studio has finished a first sequence,
but project has still a long way to go and will not be finished before 2021. more
in the journal, updated to be announced asap.
caused
by the on-going lockdown situation there is no open exhibition on display featuring
work by sven piayda. therefore piayda is recently focussing on producing and releasing
music as well as working in and with the studio on the upcoming ‘needle in the
multiverse’ solo show.
still dates cannot be fixed recently but the show
is expected to open in autumn/winter 2020 or even later. the stow is supposed
to feature the ‘multiverse memory’, a variation of the well known ravensburger
memory card game. it will feature 48 cards produced by ravensburger while appearing
slightly different than the original game, while playing the players will have
to modify the rules to get along with the game. as the game is not on sale, the
studio offers ‘multiverse memory card set’ editions consisting of three memory
cards featuring works from different (and previously unreleased) mini series.
while the sets will be offered as editions escorting the ‘needle in the multiverse’,
you can purchase them now already for bargain price.
as
you see, the multiverse memory card sets consists of three original six by six
centimetre ravensburger memory cards with the typical blue typography in rapport.

it
is our massive pleasure to announce that the studio is now offering a memory game
featuring sven piayda´s tableau works as pictured on the cards. the memory game
has been produced by ravensburger on demand, the german traditional company ravensburger
has originally developed the memory game and has put it on the market first.
the piayda memory game features 72 cards (i.e. 36 different tableaus on 36 pairs),
a tin box and a booklet explaining the memory game rules in different languages,
all in ravensburger quality, see picture above. please note: this version is not
a regular release by ravensburger, it is not available from the company.
the memory game is one of many ideas of the studio to create output next to artworks
or art shows and is now entering new contexts. also, the studio is recently working
on a variation of the memory game to play an important part in an upcoming solo
show. you will find out about the development of this new game here.
the
memory game is available exclusively from the studio. if you are interested in
getting your version, please mail to studio[at]svenpiayda.com, also to get info

it is our massive
pleasure to announce the release of 'black album', the sixth full length album
by record of tides. the album is out once again on the hamburg based netlabel
kreislauf.org and is available digitally and free. kreislauf.org has already released
the reissue of record of tides´ debut 'timber' from 2004 in 2014, the follow
up 'vessel' in 2016, the 2017 album ‘solna’ and the 2018 album ‘endurance’.
‘black
album’ has been programmed, recorded and produced between autumn 2016 and spring
2019. the album features 10 tracks and is mostly inspired by aphex twin and boards
of canada (also some autechre for deconstructed parts) again, there are no guitars
or any acoustic instruments on the album. the album is prominent for bocesque
sounds and melodies while contrasting complex beat programming.
some new
tracks have already appeared in record of tides live sets of the last three years,
sometimes in alternative versions. you may like to check the bootlegs and snippets
floating in the net for new sounds.
kreislauf.org label boss andreas buttweiler
and sven piayda have been discussing the holding of the release date (which had
been around behind closed doors before) in times of the on-going crises. both
agreed that releasing the album digitally only does not need any close distance
personal contact. also enjoying new music is primarily something personal you
probably do for yourself, in your living room, your car, via headphones in the
garden or doing sports. this release does not conflict with current social distancing
rules. even feedback, discussions and reviews usually appear in digital media.
feedback is well appreciated.
‘black album’ is available now and is released
via kreislauf.org
and is distribued via archive.org.
still on: record of tides´
recent albums ‘collected riffing works’ and ‘endurance’ are still available from

recently
on display: in november 2018 the galerie treppenhaus in erlangen opened ‘hochhaus
- hütte – hinterhof, der reiz des ungeliebten‘ by thomas r. hoeß, gabriella héjja
and karla köhler. the exhibition featured collaborative works by karla köhler
and sven piayda like the ‘granada interface’ music video for record of tides,
the ‘from new york to los angeles’ series and the ‘k-city’ series. the exhibition
ended in february 2019 but returned now as permanent exhibition in the first floor
of galerie treppenhaus. this permanent version of the show only features köhler´s

spring 2020. galerie-treppenhaus.de
back
in 2015 sven piayda was asked to do an online exhibition at gallerie tellerand,
a gelsenkirchen based online only gallery project. after being very sceptical
at first, the studio developed a show dealing with the issues of digital presentation
and reduced dimensions presented in disciplines like photography, cgi, video and
sound. the show was launched on november 1st 2015 and was extended to be shown
until january 2016, featuring introduction text and conversation with gallerist
michael em walter. the digital show vanished from the web and after the following
show the gallery quit business. now, the gallery has updated the achieves and
‘#howdeepisyourlove’ has returned to the digital screen, you experience the virtual

'aftermath' premieres at KURZstummfilmfestival
this
year´s KURZstummfilmfestival will deal with number ‘5’ in all its contributions.
the festival will also premieres sven piayda´s ‘aftermath’, a video project started
back 2019 directly after announcing the new topic but without deciding if the
piece will be published or not.
‘aftermath’ is drafted as a horror movie
for elementary school students using post internet art aesthetics once again with
music by record of tides. the heavy weight of bad grades (‘5’ is the second worst
grade to get in germany) seems to reach into the peace of the summer break symbolizing
the students resort. within the aftermaths the echo of not being good enough remains
omnipresent. the short film is only five minutes long and features material taken
back in 2004 as well as digital animation done in 2019.
the KURZstummfilmfestival
will take place on september 26, 3pm at zeche carl in essen. caused by the corona
crisis you have to register for participation as the maximum number of visitors
is limited to 50 people. (please register here)
additionally the festival will screen the contributions on youtube, starting with
uploads in september 22 and having all videos available by september 25.
piayda
is attending to the festival for the third time as chosen by the jury having shown
‘granada interface (the lost tapes)’ in 2019 and ‘die entdeckung europas’ in 2018.
on
friday, september 18 the curators maren ullrich and roger rohrbach opened the
group show ‘we don´t pray for love – we just pray for cars’ at alter wartesaal
im bahnhof herne. within this show a well-known work of sven piayda´s portfolio
returned to display. the young curators ullrich and rohrbach have drafted a group
show concept which will be on at kreativ.quartier wanne (hallenbad) and alter
wartesaal im bahnhof herne. the alte wartesaal presents piayda´s ’happy prince’,
a 2016 cgi-photography, which is one oft he works which had been in shows quite
often, you can see piayda next to his work in his last solo show at SG1 duisburg
back in 2019.
above you see a picture of ‘happy prince’ as installed at
alter wartesaal herne for ‘we don´t pray for love – we just pray for cars’ as
curated by maren ullrich and roger rohrbach. We look back to a great opening of
a small but exquisite show in a historic place. have a look at all installation
views taken during the opening over at the exhibitions
section.
’happy prince’ shows the red car body of a 1989 ford probe
hovering in dutch woods in autumn. art historian linda schröer states: the
photograph ‘happy prince’ shows a car body floating in the middle of the forest.
the title refers to the short story of the same name by oscar wilde. there, a
richly gem- and gold-studded prince monument cannot bear the misery of his city
any longer, allows itself to be ‘cannibalized’ down to the last treasure and thus
sacrifices itself. at the same time, however, the title also alludes to the artist
richard prince, who is known above all for his astronomical prizes. in the mid-2000s,
prince had stripped muscle cars down or pasted them with images of women and staged
the car as a symbol of freedom, self-determination and independence.
‘the
press text for we don't pray for love - we just pray for cars‘ explains: more
than 2,200 kilometres of motorway run through the state of north rhine-westphalia,
with a total road length of almost 30,000 kilometres, making up about 13% of the
total german road length. the average daily traffic in nrw is significantly higher
than the national average. in short: the ruhr area as a conurbation is more mobile
than ever. especially in times of climate change, however, individual transport
should be critically examined, and its advantages and disadvantages weighed against
each other. the role of the car as a status symbol should be questioned with a
view to the future of all of us. faster, bigger, better - how heavy can and may
such attributes weigh today? an exhibition of contemporary art from the ruhr,
münsterland and rhineland on the subject of mobility and the car as a status symbol.
update
2020-09-25: this autumn we are celebrating the 21th anniversary of ‘portrait’.
on september 25, 1999, zany music released sven piayda’s debut album on compact
disc. the album was well appreciated and is a classic release today, also it was
the first compact disc zany music put out after releasing different tapes in the
years before. ‘portrait’ is based upon songs written in the years before, it was
recorded in spring and summer 1999 at roberg records in gelsenkirchen by producer
gerd bückins. all programming of midi and samples had been done by electronic
producer thorsten ruby before. also the tracks became the base for the band ‘apologies’
which was founded as a classic rock trio back in 2000 to perform the songs live.
without any gig but some open rehearsals the group split off in 2001, so piayda
focussed on the follow up album ‘diptych’. nevertheless, after ‘apologies’ split
of, piayda was looking for an audio-visual follow-up project of this band ending
up with ‘timber’ by record of tides featuring artwork by ‘apologies’ drummer jay
hammes.
the kunstverein schollbrockhaus in herne will open a group show entitled ‘fisch!’
on saturday, october 10, at 3 to 6pm. next to paintings by marayle küpper and
daniela werth the exhibition will feature the ‘la mer’ sound piece by sven piayda.
the 2013 work will sound through the exhibition running until october 25. above
you see the installation view at lutherturm in cologne for LTK4. more info soon.
piayda's sound installation ‘la mer’ (2013) is based on the famous french chanson
‘la mer’ by charles trenet from 1946, which also became famous in numerous cover
versions and whose original version is one of the soundtracks of numerous feature
films. piayda has abstracted the song into something informal, so to speak, by
compressing it to two seconds and then stretching it to one hour, neither trenet's
voice nor a word can be heard, but only texture remains [...]. carsten

the
ansehBar exhibition project on billboards in public space in downtown gelsenkirchen
is over. we look back on a project creating great moments and interactions next
to access to art of the local and orbiting scene. We would like to take the opportunity
to thank everyone involved, especially nancy watt and christoph lammert for creating
and curating the project, annette berg and andrea lamest for supporting and financing
the project via municipal funds and everyone at ströer for making it possible
to use the billboards. also we would like to thank all the photographers for this
project like michaela best, havva ayvalik, petra dreiling-schewe, ilsebill eckle,
christoph lammert, julian mikus and the studio. we are now excited for the
upcoming szeniale on june 19, 2021.
as
the exhibition project is over and we like to focus on upcoming shows with participation.
nevertheless the studio is still receiving and collecting pictures by residents
and visitors documenting the billboard. as you can see on this picture as delivered
by kirsten lipka, the ‘lifeguard’ is breaking through the work by claudia tebben.
thank you for this moment and a great summer show.

you
might like to have a look at the poster and invitation card for information on
participating artists and opening hours. caused by the covid-19 situation
there will be time slots to enter and stay in the exhibition, please apologise.
the
opening is scheduled for september 18, sven piayda is expected to be present.
more info at the bottom of this post.
you
might remember roger rohrbach´s name from the catalogue escorting last year´s
annual show of gelenkirchen based artists. here he wrote a pretty complex text
on the exhibited video piece 'heliodorus'.
the kunstverein schollbrockhaus in herne will open a group show entitled ‘fisch!’
on saturday, october 10, at 3 to 6pm. next to paintings by marayle küpper and
daniela werth the exhibition will feature the ‘la mer’ sound piece by sven piayda.
the 2013 work will sound through the exhibition running until october 25. above
you see the installation view at lutherturm in cologne for LTK4. more info soon.
it is our massive pleasure to announce an upcoming record of tides live performance.
the ‘feuer and flamme’ festival will place art and music in a dedicated church
for four days. it was originally planned to take place during the pentecost season
but had to be delayed due the covid-19 pandemic. within this festival record of
tides will perform a compact live set on tuesday, november 3, 7pm. up to current
information the set is expected to be audio only, changes and updates will be
communicated here. this will definitely the last performance for 2020, based upon
the developing of the covid-19 community spreading the festival might modify of
cancel schedules.
the
well appreciated ‘ansehBar’ art show in public space has taken sven piayda´s ‘lifeguard’
off display now. as the show starts into its second month, further artists will
take over and the current works vanish. ‘lifeguard’ is demounted and replaced
by a work by one of the artists of the second run. still we do not know who will
get this prominent place. sven piayda´s contribution ‘lifeguard’ was placed
at a prominent position. the billboard could be found at augustastraße/weberstaße
in downtown gelsenkirchen. the piece incidentally interacted and mirrored its
surrounding: the trees in the picture seemed grow into the trees on the street,
the ‘lifeguard’ surrogate had the same colour as the nearby trash bin and the
pillars of the lifeguard´s housing corresponded with the billboard´s pillars.
the places had been chosen incidentally but sven piayda and everyone at the studio
were very happy with this place. find all collected pictures of the work and the
press conference over at the exhibitions
section.
above you see a snapshot taken during the art walk with gelsenkirchen
major candidate karin welge (spd) with piayda on the left talking about the piece.
based upon the problematic issue of impossible big openings and the loss
of opportunity for artists to show and sell work the gelsenkirchen based szeniale
organisation developed 'ansehBar' as answer to the covid-19 crisis, a billboard
based outside exhibition project curated by nancy e. watt and christoph lammert.
with this action we don't just want to bring beautiful colourful pictures into
the city. it is above all about strengthening and sharpening the perception. if
art and culture cannot be present in public space to the usual extent, or if no
(regular) form of organizing presentation is possible, it is necessary to fill
and enliven this space in a different way. art and culture are vital, they are
building blocks of a successful society, signs of democratic coexistence and -
under all circumstances - to make them visible in public space, the curators
state.
'ansehBar' wants to make art in times of distance rules experienceable
in an unusual way: wherever else advertising can be seen, artistic works will
be shown from july to september 2020. in cooperation with the department of culture
of the city of gelsenkirchen, the förderverein szeniale invites up to 30 artists
from the gelsenkirchen independent scene to present themselves publicly and strikingly
in the urban space. for this purpose, the media company ströer (initially) 15
large-format billboards will be made available free of charge.
the posters
form a gallery in public space which, as a satellite project of the festival 'szeniale',
brings art and culture from different fields into the urban space: in addition
to works from painting, photography and graphics, positions from film, music,
theatre, dance and literature can also be creatively transferred to the poster
format. the immediate experience is supplemented by digital information that can
be called up on each poster with a smartphone via a qr code. a map helps those
interested to find their own way through this open-air exhibition on foot or by
bicycle.
for
the 'ansehBar' group show, sven piayda´s 'lifeguard' (2018) had been chosen to
be presented on one of the 2.50 by 3.60 meter billboards in the first part of
the show running from july 10 to august 10. the escorting text statesas following:
the life belt is missing in its station in the immediate vicinity of the
lake. instead, an idiosyncratically shaped substitute hangs in its place, which
cannot replace the ring in its function, but which becomes the new motif in the
picture. typical for piayda's work are tableaus, mostly photographs of rather
unspecific places, usually arranged as landscapes, to which an object was added
as a motif in post-production. the work for 'ansehBar' aims to add something beautiful
and worth seeing to the urban space, similar to the abstract objects in the photographs.
even
if the show is not over yet, sven piayda´s part and the studio´s participation
has ended. so we would like to thank nancy watt and christoph lammert for creating
and curating the project, annette berg and andrea lamest for supporting and financing
the project via municipal funds and everyone at ströer for making it possible
to use the billboards. also we would like to thank all the photographers for this
project like michaela best, havva ayvalik, petra dreiling-schewe, ilsebill eckle,
christoph lammert, julian mikus and the studio. if you have delivered pictures
without being credited (or find your work captured without credit) please let
us know.
the studio is moving to the next project, but we hope to collaborate
with this team in the future again.
update
2020-08-17: the ‘lifeguard’ photo has already vanished on the billboard at
augustastraße in gelsenkirchen as it has been pasted over as scheduled with a
work by claudia tebben. it is strange for us to see a new work at this prominent
place but something remains: it take a closer look you can still see ‘lifeguard’
peek through at the edges of the poster panels. however, enjoy the new works and
be excited for further documentations and future projects.
a
short introduction guide to get into the art of sven piayda regarding works in
disciplines of photography, video and sound. featuring text by curators, dealers
and assistants. don´t miss: the updated 2020 press kit! (this year´s portfolio
update is supposed to come up soon!)
the
studio has started to work on a large video project combining an endless but non-looping
sequence and degas´ 'little dancer'. more in the journal, updated to be
announced asap.
caused
by the aftermath of the lockdown situation, there is no open exhibition on display
featuring work by sven piayda (with the exception of the permanent exhibition
at galerie treppenhaus and the guest participation at edel extra in nuremberg).
all scheduled shows had been postponed or were cancelled. also there are no live
dates or dj sets scheduled to take place recently. the studio has used the lockdown
situation to work on an exhibition project escorted by a vinyl release merging
concepts of experiencing and collecting art and music: aural park.
today
sven piayda and the studio in cooperation with zany music reveal a new summer
project being a mixture of exhibition and listening event. within the aural park
project piayda presents some of his recent sound works as well as exclusively
produced versions of record of tides tracks in private and public parks where
they will be played by small music devices. all events are supposed to take place
in an open air context, therefor (and depending on the weather) the listening
events will be announced only a few days in advance via facebook events.
to
start the project the four exclusive versions from tracks originally found on
the 2017 record of tides album ‘solna’ are released today on zany music and are
available on transparent vinyl as limited edition only. the vinyl comes with additional
transparent sleeve with record of tides logo sticker. as the release is limited
to 100 copies only, there are less than hundred copies available. as there have
been numerous pre-orders, the 12’’ is sold out today on the day of release. in
case of being interested in purchasing a copy anyway, make sure to contact the
studio to be registered for a reissue of the album. escorting the vinyl ep,
record of tides ‘aural park’ is also available as mp3 bundle with compact disc
sized and edited artwork. the digital version is available via /CAMP,
a password protected area only open to customer having purchased the vinyl or
any other sven piayda related content. the vinyl purchase also enables to
customers to receive the AP ADDS mp3 bundle, a three-track-60-minute hdj set featuring
tracks of inspiring artists.
we are recieving a lot of positive
feedback concerning the artwork for 'aural park' vinyl EP and decoding attepts
concerning the sleeve design. the variation of the motorway sign is a clear reference
to kraftwerk´s 'autobahn' while the kids chasing after a deer reminds of visual
achetypes found in boards of canada artwork. however, all of your feedback is
appreciated and it might be a true indicator for good design that we see and feel
similar things while looking at it. let´s see what the next cover will be all
about...
to
participate in aural park listening events (announced only a few days in advance
caused by dependence on the weather) please check the project site and confirm
your participation reliably via facebook events.
caused
by the on-going lockdown situation there is no open exhibition on display featuring
work by sven piayda. therefore piayda is recently focussing on producing and releasing
music as well as working in and with the studio on the upcoming ‘needle in the
multiverse’ solo show.
still dates cannot be fixed recently but the show
is expected to open in autumn/winter 2020 or even later. the stow is supposed
to feature the ‘multiverse memory’, a variation of the well known ravensburger
memory card game. it will feature 48 cards produced by ravensburger while appearing
slightly different than the original game, while playing the players will have
to modify the rules to get along with the game. as the game is not on sale, the
studio offers ‘multiverse memory card set’ editions consisting of three memory
cards featuring works from different (and previously unreleased) mini series.
while the sets will be offered as editions escorting the ‘needle in the multiverse’,
you can purchase them now already for bargain price.
as
you see, the multiverse memory card sets consists of three original six by six
centimetre ravensburger memory cards with the typical blue typography in rapport.
(click image for full view)
it
is our massive pleasure to announce that the studio is now offering a memory game
featuring sven piayda´s tableau works as pictured on the cards. the memory game
has been produced by ravensburger on demand, the german traditional company ravensburger
has originally developed the memory game and has put it on the market first.
the piayda memory game features 72 cards (i.e. 36 different tableaus on 36 pairs),
a tin box and a booklet explaining the memory game rules in different languages,
all in ravensburger quality, see picture above. please note: this version is not
a regular release by ravensburger, it is not available from the company.
the memory game is one of many ideas of the studio to create output next to artworks
or art shows and is now entering new contexts. also, the studio is recently working
on a variation of the memory game to play an important part in an upcoming solo
show. you will find out about the development of this new game here.
the
memory game is available exclusively from the studio. if you are interested in
getting your version, please mail to studio[at]svenpiayda.com, also to get info
on the price, shipping cost and delivery time span. have a look at more pictures
of the piayda memory game over at the studio
purchase site.more info and pictures over at studio.svenpiayda.com.
it is our massive
pleasure to announce the release of 'black album', the sixth full length album
by record of tides. the album is out once again on the hamburg based netlabel
kreislauf.org and is available digitally and free. kreislauf.org has already released
the reissue of record of tides´ debut 'timber' from 2004 in 2014, the follow
up 'vessel' in 2016, the 2017 album ‘solna’ and the 2018 album ‘endurance’.
‘black
album’ has been programmed, recorded and produced between autumn 2016 and spring
2019. the album features 10 tracks and is mostly inspired by aphex twin and boards
of canada (also some autechre for deconstructed parts) again, there are no guitars
or any acoustic instruments on the album. the album is prominent for bocesque
sounds and melodies while contrasting complex beat programming.
some new
tracks have already appeared in record of tides live sets of the last three years,
sometimes in alternative versions. you may like to check the bootlegs and snippets
floating in the net for new sounds.
kreislauf.org label boss andreas buttweiler
and sven piayda have been discussing the holding of the release date (which had
been around behind closed doors before) in times of the on-going crises. both
agreed that releasing the album digitally only does not need any close distance
personal contact. also enjoying new music is primarily something personal you
probably do for yourself, in your living room, your car, via headphones in the
garden or doing sports. this release does not conflict with current social distancing
rules. even feedback, discussions and reviews usually appear in digital media.
feedback is well appreciated.
‘black album’ is available now and is released
via kreislauf.org
and is distribued via archive.org.
still on: record of tides´
recent albums ‘collected riffing works’ and ‘endurance’ are still available from
zany music and kreislauf.org. you may like to check tem out among further releases
over at archive.org.
recently
on display: in november 2018 the galerie treppenhaus in erlangen opened ‘hochhaus
- hütte – hinterhof, der reiz des ungeliebten‘ by thomas r. hoeß, gabriella héjja
and karla köhler. the exhibition featured collaborative works by karla köhler
and sven piayda like the ‘granada interface’ music video for record of tides,
the ‘from new york to los angeles’ series and the ‘k-city’ series. the exhibition
ended in february 2019 but returned now as permanent exhibition in the first floor
of galerie treppenhaus. this permanent version of the show only features köhler´s
and piayda´s ‘k-city’ series. the exhibition is supposed to be on display until
spring 2020. galerie-treppenhaus.de
back
in 2015 sven piayda was asked to do an online exhibition at gallerie tellerand,
a gelsenkirchen based online only gallery project. after being very sceptical
at first, the studio developed a show dealing with the issues of digital presentation
and reduced dimensions presented in disciplines like photography, cgi, video and
sound. the show was launched on november 1st 2015 and was extended to be shown
until january 2016, featuring introduction text and conversation with gallerist
michael em walter. the digital show vanished from the web and after the following
show the gallery quit business. now, the gallery has updated the achieves and
‘#howdeepisyourlove’ has returned to the digital screen, you experience the virtual
only show as it was drafted and presented back in 2015, see links below. also:
‘four seasons after arcimboldo’ have been part oft he show, they are now on display

'happy prince' returns to display for car-based group show
for
the autumn season a well-known work of sven piayda´s portfolio will return to
display. the young curators maren ullrich and roger rohrbach have drafted a group
show concept which will be on at kreativ.quartier wanne (hallenbad) and alter
wartesaal im bahnhof herne. the alte wartesaal will present piayda´s ’happy prince’,
a 2016 cgi-photography, which is one oft he works which had been in shows quite
often, you can see piayda next to his work in a show at kunstmuseum mülheim back
in 2017.
’happy prince’ shows the red car body of a 1989 ford probe hovering
in dutch woods in autumn. art historian linda schröer states: the photograph
‘happy prince’ shows a car body floating in the middle of the forest. the title
refers to the short story of the same name by oscar wilde. there, a richly gem-
and gold-studded prince monument cannot bear the misery of his city any longer,
allows itself to be ‘cannibalized’ down to the last treasure and thus sacrifices
itself. at the same time, however, the title also alludes to the artist richard
prince, who is known above all for his astronomical prizes. in the mid-2000s,
prince had stripped muscle cars down or pasted them with images of women and staged
the car as a symbol of freedom, self-determination and independence.
‘the
press text for we don't pray for love - we just pray for cars‘ explains: more
than 2,200 kilometres of motorway run through the state of north rhine-westphalia,
with a total road length of almost 30,000 kilometres, making up about 13% of the
total german road length. the average daily traffic in nrw is significantly higher
than the national average. in short: the ruhr area as a conurbation is more mobile
than ever. especially in times of climate change, however, individual transport
should be critically examined, and its advantages and disadvantages weighed against
each other. the role of the car as a status symbol should be questioned with a
view to the future of all of us. faster, bigger, better - how heavy can and may
such attributes weigh today? an exhibition of contemporary art from the ruhr,
münsterland and rhineland on the subject of mobility and the car as a status symbol.
the opening is scheduled for september 18, sven piayda is expected
to be present. more info at the bottom of this post.
you
might remember roger rohrbach´s name from the catalogue escorting last year´s
annual show of gelenkirchen based artists. here he wrote a pretty complex text
on the exhibited video piece 'heliodorus'.
back
in june our friend and collaborator karla köhler opened her 2020 covid-19 crisis
postponed solo show at edel extra in nürnberg. the show featured next to numerous
pieces the collaborative work ‘granada interface (the lost tapes)’, a video for
record of tides directed by sven piayda exploring köhler´s urban world designs.
now you will have the change to visit the show virtually again, guided by karla
köhler herself. you may also like the record of tides track sounding through the
exhibition as endless loop. the documentary has been shot by alex ciocea using
a 360° camera delivering a wide-angle view on the exhibition. additionally, köhler
and piayda are recently discussing new collaborative works.
the
well appreciated ‘ansehBar’ art show in public space has taken sven piayda´s ‘lifeguard’
off display now. as the show starts into its second month, further artists will
take over and the current works vanish. ‘lifeguard’ is demounted and replaced
by a work by one of the artists of the second run. still we do not know who will
get this prominent place. sven piayda´s contribution ‘lifeguard’ was placed
at a prominent position. the billboard could be found at augustastraße/weberstaße
in downtown gelsenkirchen. the piece incidentally interacted and mirrored its
surrounding: the trees in the picture seemed grow into the trees on the street,
the ‘lifeguard’ surrogate had the same colour as the nearby trash bin and the
pillars of the lifeguard´s housing corresponded with the billboard´s pillars.
the places had been chosen incidentally but sven piayda and everyone at the studio
were very happy with this place. find all collected pictures of the work and the
press conference over at the exhibitions
section.
above you see a snapshot taken during the art walk with gelsenkirchen
major candidate karin welge (spd) with piayda on the left talking about the piece.
based upon the problematic issue of impossible big openings and the loss
of opportunity for artists to show and sell work the gelsenkirchen based szeniale
organisation developed 'ansehBar' as answer to the covid-19 crisis, a billboard
based outside exhibition project curated by nancy e. watt and christoph lammert.
with this action we don't just want to bring beautiful colourful pictures into
the city. it is above all about strengthening and sharpening the perception. if
art and culture cannot be present in public space to the usual extent, or if no
(regular) form of organizing presentation is possible, it is necessary to fill
and enliven this space in a different way. art and culture are vital, they are
building blocks of a successful society, signs of democratic coexistence and -
under all circumstances - to make them visible in public space, the curators
state.
'ansehBar' wants to make art in times of distance rules experienceable
in an unusual way: wherever else advertising can be seen, artistic works will
be shown from july to september 2020. in cooperation with the department of culture
of the city of gelsenkirchen, the förderverein szeniale invites up to 30 artists
from the gelsenkirchen independent scene to present themselves publicly and strikingly

format. the immediate experience is supplemented by digital information that can
be called up on each poster with a smartphone via a qr code. a map helps those
interested to find their own way through this open-air exhibition on foot or by
bicycle.
for
the 'ansehBar' group show, sven piayda´s 'lifeguard' (2018) had been chosen to
be presented on one of the 2.50 by 3.60 meter billboards in the first part of
the show running from july 10 to august 10. the escorting text statesas following:

even
if the show is not over yet, sven piayda´s part and the studio´s participation

the studio is moving to the next project, but we hope to collaborate
with this team in the future again.

were very happy with this place. find all collected pictures of the work and the
press conference over at the exhibitions
section.
above you see a snapshot taken during the art walk with gelsenkirchen
major candidate karin welge (spd) with piayda on the left talking about the piece.
based upon the problematic issue of impossible big openings and the loss
of opportunity for artists to show and sell work the gelsenkirchen based szeniale
organisation developed 'ansehBar' as answer to the covid-19 crisis, a billboard
based outside exhibition project curated by nancy e. watt and christoph lammert.
with this action we don't just want to bring beautiful colourful pictures into
the city. it is above all about strengthening and sharpening the perception. if
art and culture cannot be present in public space to the usual extent, or if no
(regular) form of organizing presentation is possible, it is necessary to fill
and enliven this space in a different way. art and culture are vital, they are
building blocks of a successful society, signs of democratic coexistence and -
under all circumstances - to make them visible in public space, the curators
state.
'ansehBar' wants to make art in times of distance rules experienceable
in an unusual way: wherever else advertising can be seen, artistic works will
be shown from july to september 2020. in cooperation with the department of culture
of the city of gelsenkirchen, the förderverein szeniale invites up to 30 artists
from the gelsenkirchen independent scene to present themselves publicly and strikingly
in the urban space. for this purpose, the media company ströer (initially) 15
large-format billboards will be made available free of charge.
the posters
form a gallery in public space which, as a satellite project of the festival 'szeniale',
brings art and culture from different fields into the urban space: in addition
to works from painting, photography and graphics, positions from film, music,
theatre, dance and literature can also be creatively transferred to the poster
format. the immediate experience is supplemented by digital information that can
be called up on each poster with a smartphone via a qr code. a map helps those
interested to find their own way through this open-air exhibition on foot or by
bicycle.
for
the 'ansehBar' group show, sven piayda´s 'lifeguard' (2018) had been chosen to
be presented on one of the 2.50 by 3.60 meter billboards in the first part of
the show running from july 10 to august 10. the escorting text statesas following:
the life belt is missing in its station in the immediate vicinity of the
lake. instead, an idiosyncratically shaped substitute hangs in its place, which
cannot replace the ring in its function, but which becomes the new motif in the
picture. typical for piayda's work are tableaus, mostly photographs of rather
unspecific places, usually arranged as landscapes, to which an object was added
as a motif in post-production. the work for 'ansehBar' aims to add something beautiful
and worth seeing to the urban space, similar to the abstract objects in the photographs.
even
if the show is not over yet, sven piayda´s part and the studio´s participation
has ended. so we would like to thank nancy watt and christoph lammert for creating
and curating the project, annette berg and andrea lamest for supporting and financing
the project via municipal funds and everyone at ströer for making it possible
to use the billboards. also we would like to thank all the photographers for this
project like michaela best, havva ayvalik, petra dreiling-schewe, ilsebill eckle,
christoph lammert, julian mikus and the studio. if you have delivered pictures
without being credited (or find your work captured without credit) please let
us know.
the studio is moving to the next project, but we hope to collaborate
with this team in the future again.
update
2020-08-17: the ‘lifeguard’ photo has already vanished on the billboard at
augustastraße in gelsenkirchen as it has been pasted over as scheduled with a
work by claudia tebben. it is strange for us to see a new work at this prominent
place but something remains: it take a closer look you can still see ‘lifeguard’
peek through at the edges of the poster panels. however, enjoy the new works and
be excited for further documentations and future projects.
update
2020-08-17: a short introduction guide to get into the art of sven piayda
regarding works in disciplines of photography, video and sound. featuring text
by curators, dealers and assistants. don´t miss: the updated 2020 press kit! (this
year´s portfolio update is supposed to come up soon!)
update
2020-08-17: the lockdown/quarantine situation made live events impossible
for the last months. record of tides did the last av live performance on february
8,2020 at medienbunker duisburg. in the journal piayda announced being pretty
unhappy with the performance and announced to figure out ‘which context could
be suitable and how I can turn it into what I want it to be’ (2020-01-30
beyond the visible: genius in context | entry by sven, update 2020-03-07).
there haven´t been live activities since, but a live bootleg of the reconstructed
performance was discussed. now there are rumours of an upcoming performance even
in 2020. we hope to deliver more info soon.
caused
by the aftermath of the lockdown situation, there is no open exhibition on display
featuring work by sven piayda (with the exception of the permanent exhibition
at galerie treppenhaus and the guest participation at edel extra in nuremberg).
all scheduled shows had been postponed or were cancelled. also there are no live
dates or dj sets scheduled to take place recently. the studio has used the lockdown
situation to work on an exhibition project escorted by a vinyl release merging
concepts of experiencing and collecting art and music: aural park.
today
sven piayda and the studio in cooperation with zany music reveal a new summer
project being a mixture of exhibition and listening event. within the aural park
project piayda presents some of his recent sound works as well as exclusively
produced versions of record of tides tracks in private and public parks where
they will be played by small music devices. all events are supposed to take place
in an open air context, therefor (and depending on the weather) the listening
events will be announced only a few days in advance via facebook events.
to
start the project the four exclusive versions from tracks originally found on
the 2017 record of tides album ‘solna’ are released today on zany music and are
available on transparent vinyl as limited edition only. the vinyl comes with additional
transparent sleeve with record of tides logo sticker. as the release is limited
to 100 copies only, there are less than hundred copies available. as there have
been numerous pre-orders, the 12’’ is sold out today on the day of release. in
case of being interested in purchasing a copy anyway, make sure to contact the
studio to be registered for a reissue of the album. escorting the vinyl ep,
record of tides ‘aural park’ is also available as mp3 bundle with compact disc
sized and edited artwork. the digital version is available via /CAMP,
a password protected area only open to customer having purchased the vinyl or
any other sven piayda related content. the vinyl purchase also enables to
customers to receive the AP ADDS mp3 bundle, a three-track-60-minute hdj set featuring
tracks of inspiring artists.
we are recieving a lot of positive
feedback concerning the artwork for 'aural park' vinyl EP and decoding attepts
concerning the sleeve design. the variation of the motorway sign is a clear reference
to kraftwerk´s 'autobahn' while the kids chasing after a deer reminds of visual
achetypes found in boards of canada artwork. however, all of your feedback is
appreciated and it might be a true indicator for good design that we see and feel
similar things while looking at it. let´s see what the next cover will be all
about...
to
participate in aural park listening events (announced only a few days in advance
caused by dependence on the weather) please check the project site and confirm
your participation reliably via facebook events.
as
sven piayda has abandoned his plans of hosting an own podcast but participating
or being featured regularly recently we have decided to add a podcasts
section to this site, accessible via the journal
section. in the blog piayda wrote about developing and starting a podcast
series back in autumn 2018 but dismissed the project in summer 2019. however,
further episodes are in consideration and are possible.
caused
by the on-going lockdown situation there is no open exhibition on display featuring
work by sven piayda. therefore piayda is recently focussing on producing and releasing
music as well as working in and with the studio on the upcoming ‘needle in the
multiverse’ solo show.
still dates cannot be fixed recently but the show
is expected to open in autumn/winter 2020 or even later. the stow is supposed
to feature the ‘multiverse memory’, a variation of the well known ravensburger
memory card game. it will feature 48 cards produced by ravensburger while appearing
slightly different than the original game, while playing the players will have
to modify the rules to get along with the game. as the game is not on sale, the
studio offers ‘multiverse memory card set’ editions consisting of three memory
cards featuring works from different (and previously unreleased) mini series.
while the sets will be offered as editions escorting the ‘needle in the multiverse’,
you can purchase them now already for bargain price.
as
you see, the multiverse memory card sets consists of three original six by six
centimetre ravensburger memory cards with the typical blue typography in rapport.
(click image for full view)
it
is our massive pleasure to announce that the studio is now offering a memory game
featuring sven piayda´s tableau works as pictured on the cards. the memory game
has been produced by ravensburger on demand, the german traditional company ravensburger
has originally developed the memory game and has put it on the market first.
the piayda memory game features 72 cards (i.e. 36 different tableaus on 36 pairs),
a tin box and a booklet explaining the memory game rules in different languages,
all in ravensburger quality, see picture above. please note: this version is not
a regular release by ravensburger, it is not available from the company.
the memory game is one of many ideas of the studio to create output next to artworks
or art shows and is now entering new contexts. also, the studio is recently working
on a variation of the memory game to play an important part in an upcoming solo
show. you will find out about the development of this new game here.
the
memory game is available exclusively from the studio. if you are interested in
getting your version, please mail to studio[at]svenpiayda.com, also to get info
on the price, shipping cost and delivery time span. have a look at more pictures
of the piayda memory game over at the studio
purchase site.more info and pictures over at studio.svenpiayda.com.
it is our massive
pleasure to announce the release of 'black album', the sixth full length album
by record of tides. the album is out once again on the hamburg based netlabel
kreislauf.org and is available digitally and free. kreislauf.org has already released
the reissue of record of tides´ debut 'timber' from 2004 in 2014, the follow
up 'vessel' in 2016, the 2017 album ‘solna’ and the 2018 album ‘endurance’.
‘black
album’ has been programmed, recorded and produced between autumn 2016 and spring
2019. the album features 10 tracks and is mostly inspired by aphex twin and boards
of canada (also some autechre for deconstructed parts) again, there are no guitars
or any acoustic instruments on the album. the album is prominent for bocesque
sounds and melodies while contrasting complex beat programming.
some new
tracks have already appeared in record of tides live sets of the last three years,
sometimes in alternative versions. you may like to check the bootlegs and snippets
floating in the net for new sounds.
kreislauf.org label boss andreas buttweiler
and sven piayda have been discussing the holding of the release date (which had
been around behind closed doors before) in times of the on-going crises. both
agreed that releasing the album digitally only does not need any close distance
personal contact. also enjoying new music is primarily something personal you
probably do for yourself, in your living room, your car, via headphones in the
garden or doing sports. this release does not conflict with current social distancing
rules. even feedback, discussions and reviews usually appear in digital media.
feedback is well appreciated.
‘black album’ is available now and is released
via kreislauf.org
and is distribued via archive.org.
still on: record of tides´
recent albums ‘collected riffing works’ and ‘endurance’ are still available from
zany music and kreislauf.org. you may like to check tem out among further releases
over at archive.org.
recently
on display: in november 2018 the galerie treppenhaus in erlangen opened ‘hochhaus
- hütte – hinterhof, der reiz des ungeliebten‘ by thomas r. hoeß, gabriella héjja
and karla köhler. the exhibition featured collaborative works by karla köhler
and sven piayda like the ‘granada interface’ music video for record of tides,
the ‘from new york to los angeles’ series and the ‘k-city’ series. the exhibition
ended in february 2019 but returned now as permanent exhibition in the first floor
of galerie treppenhaus. this permanent version of the show only features köhler´s
and piayda´s ‘k-city’ series. the exhibition is supposed to be on display until
spring 2020. galerie-treppenhaus.de
back
in 2015 sven piayda was asked to do an online exhibition at gallerie tellerand,
a gelsenkirchen based online only gallery project. after being very sceptical
at first, the studio developed a show dealing with the issues of digital presentation
and reduced dimensions presented in disciplines like photography, cgi, video and
sound. the show was launched on november 1st 2015 and was extended to be shown
until january 2016, featuring introduction text and conversation with gallerist
michael em walter. the digital show vanished from the web and after the following
show the gallery quit business. now, the gallery has updated the achieves and
‘#howdeepisyourlove’ has returned to the digital screen, you experience the virtual
only show as it was drafted and presented back in 2015, see links below. also:
‘four seasons after arcimboldo’ have been part oft he show, they are now on display
as postcard versions at galerie gublia in essen.

svennet 20 years anniversary
this
august we are happy to celebrate 20 years of svennet. back in august 2000 svennet
was launched to advertise the 1999 album ‘portrait’ and to document the attempts
to play the album live and to produce a follow up. back in 2000 (in the wild days
of the internet) the site was hosted on a tripod members server without any domain
but lots of commercial banners. a few days later the site was available via www.svennet.20m.com,
a domain which was also financed via commercial banners and is surprisingly still
working today. in may 2002 the site moved to www.svenpiayda.com to skip the banners
and offer a domain. after many design changes the site found it´s design as it
is on more or less today in 2011.
svennet focussed on news related to
sven piayda, art show documentation as well as a completely listed discography
and further resources. in october 2003 the journal, a personal blog was added,
at this time inspired by (mostly unused blogs) on sites of david bowie and beck
hanson. even after being requested to use wordpress sites frequently svennet is
supposed to stay simple html for good reasons.
as you read in the svennet
piayda biography: the official site svenpiayda.com/svennet became an important
basement of his work, it features information and downloads, up-to-date news and
a blogesque journal. svenpiayda.com also features the complete and growing portfolio
as well as exclusive material and previews via /CAMP.
within the last
20 years we have announced and documented a lot, more or less relevant topics,
great and overrated artworks, music which became classic or quickly forgotten.
the team has changed over the years and there have often been ideas to reduce
the website´s output and text quantity or even to close it down. however, it must
have been better to simply go on.
above you see sven piayda as photographed
by stephanie holl for the inlay artwork of the ‘portrait’ album. as digital photography
was not common in 1999, there are not as many pictures as today. this one illustrated
the spirit of that time and how much time has passed.
let´s see what´s
up in the next 20 years! feel free to follow and to participate. cheers!
the
well appreciated ‘ansehBar’ art show in public space will have sven piayda´s ‘lifeguard’
on display for the last week now. as the show will start into its second month,
further artists will take over and the current works will vanish. ‘lifeguard’
will be demounted and replaced by a work by one of the artists of the second run.
still we do not know who will get this prominent place.
based upon the
problematic issue of impossible big openings and the loss of opportunity for artists
to show and sell work the gelsenkirchen based szeniale organisation developed
'ansehBar' as answer to the covid-19 crisis, a billboard based outside exhibition
project curated by nancy e. watt and christoph lammert.
with this action
we don't just want to bring beautiful colourful pictures into the city. it is
above all about strengthening and sharpening the perception. if art and culture
cannot be present in public space to the usual extent, or if no (regular) form
of organizing presentation is possible, it is necessary to fill and enliven this
space in a different way. art and culture are vital, they are building blocks
of a successful society, signs of democratic coexistence and - under all circumstances
- to make them visible in public space, the curators state.
'ansehBar'
wants to make art in times of distance rules experienceable in an unusual way:
wherever else advertising can be seen, artistic works will be shown from july

sven
piayda´s contribution ‘lifeguard’ is placed at a prominent position. the billboard
can be found at augustastraße/weberstaße in downtown gelsenkirchen. the piece
incidentally interacts and mirrors its surrounding: the trees in the picture seem
grow into the trees on the street, the ‘lifeguard’ surrogate has the same colour
as the nearby trash bin and the pillars of the lifeguard´s housing correspond
with the billboard´s pillars. the places have been chosen incidentally but we
can be very happy with this place. you are welcome to visit the billboard and
post pictures of it. find all collected pictures of the work and the press conference
over at the exhibitions
section.

as
you might know, michael schreiber and sven piayda have been collaborating for
the well appreciated album ‘altered stems’ and have been discussing further collaborations
since. next to music production it is remarkable that schreiber is also a trained
code programmer who has already created code for well-known artists and is now
collaborating with the studio for generative image production. they have already
finished a mini series wich remains unreleased but have also created series of
posters escorting the 'aural park' project.
also they are recently working
in studio together for new music. piayda has already announced to not put out
any more music in 2020, so it is believed that they are working on material for
schreiber´s project. more soon!
the common recording
sessions appear to be a lot more ambitioned than expected. up to now it is believed
that the material will be released in autumn with a yet unknown project name.
also there are rumours that AESTATE´s chris huff has shown up in studio to contribute
bass guitar parts for certain songs. something is coming up. please be patient
and stay excited!
michael
wrote in advance of the recording: I am very excited to try new things and
work on new material together with sven. think I have to check if there is a red
carpet anywhere so I can roll it out in front of the studio. a little
later this ‘preview’
was found online, once again with a comment from michael: a track preview on
the upcoming album ‘entertain’ - in case in plan will be released in 2020. the
track was done in a single recording session in another collaboration with record
of tides and as always has been a pleased in co-working with high output. background
of the track: one of my customers is running a real ‘heavy metal’ business and
the machine park and industrial space is really impressive.
update
2020-08-05: current text fom the studio: The sun shines into empty classrooms;
this must be the summer break at elementary school. Strangely misfit animated
numbers – ‘fives’ only – float trough the air. In Germany ‘5’ is the second worst
grade to get, so are grades a proof for a bad time in school echoing into free
summer days? Is it a symbol for virus particles entering the classroom forcing
kids into distanced learning? Is the virus threatening tomorrow’s grades? Or is
the educational system the problem? ‘Aftermath’ by Sven Piayda is a horror movie
for elementary school students using post Internet art aesthetics and music by
Record Of Tides. The short film features material taken back in 2004 as well as
digital animation done in 2019.
update
2020-07-27: sven piayda has returned to 'natürliche ausrede' podcast
for episode 030. as this episode is supposed to be the end of the first season,
podcast host chris braucks and sven piayda change roles, the focus is on braucks
this time while piayda acts as host. therefore the episode is called 'selfie mit
sven'. chris braucks adds in is escorting text: the guest of this episode
is a returner. on may 18th sven piayda was already here to talk about his art.
at that time the idea was born to turn it the other way around and ask questions
himself. a fitting idea for the end of season. the podcast will take a break over
august. sven should have his own podcast anyway.
we
are happy to announce that sven piayda is featured in episode 017 of the ‘natürliche
ausrede’ podcast. in the 93 minute conversation host chris braucks and sven piayda
talk about art, music, upcoming collaborations, profitable systems and cultural
sustainability. unfortunately the podcast is only available in german language,
but is recommended listening to as both are interested and interesting conversation
partners. within the episode you can hear snippets of the record of tides
track ‘dawn reversed (aural park version)’ as it is supposed to be released on
vinyl soon.
the escorting text states: if you take a look at his
website, which is well worth seeing and extensively documented, you can quickly
see in how many disciplines the mülheim-based artist sven piayda has competed.
photography, conceptual installation art, music, video are just a few of them.
we talk about the urge behind the creative process, the truthfulness of photos,
the role of the self-image in social media and the mildness of old age that extends
the taste for music.
above
you see braucks and piayda during the recording, perfectly socially distanced
as recommended. in the blog piayda wrote about developing and starting a podcast
series back in autumn 2018 but dismissed the project in summer 2019. however,
another episode with braucks and piayda is in consideration, further collaborations
are possible.
as
promised, episode 017 is now also available via youtube and can be listened to
and shared by the video player above. also
you can listen to the episodes on youtube.
caused
by the on-going lockdown situation there is no open exhibition on display featuring
work by sven piayda. therefore piayda is recently focussing on producing and releasing
music as well as working in and with the studio on the upcoming ‘needle in the
multiverse’ solo show.
still dates cannot be fixed recently but the show
is expected to open in autumn/winter 2020 or even later. the stow is supposed
to feature the ‘multiverse memory’, a variation of the well known ravensburger
memory card game. it will feature 48 cards produced by ravensburger while appearing

you can purchase them now already for bargain price.
as

centimetre ravensburger memory cards with the typical blue typography in rapport.

it
is our massive pleasure to announce that the studio is now offering a memory game

it is our massive
pleasure to announce the release of 'black album', the sixth full length album
by record of tides. the album is out once again on the hamburg based netlabel
kreislauf.org and is available digitally and free. kreislauf.org has already released
the reissue of record of tides´ debut 'timber' from 2004 in 2014, the follow
up 'vessel' in 2016, the 2017 album ‘solna’ and the 2018 album ‘endurance’.

on display: in november 2018 the galerie treppenhaus in erlangen opened ‘hochhaus
- hütte – hinterhof, der reiz des ungeliebten‘ by thomas r. hoeß, gabriella héjja
and karla köhler. the exhibition featured collaborative works by karla köhler
and sven piayda like the ‘granada interface’ music video for record of tides,
the ‘from new york to los angeles’ series and the ‘k-city’ series. the exhibition
ended in february 2019 but returned now as permanent exhibition in the first floor
of galerie treppenhaus. this permanent version of the show only features köhler´s
and piayda´s ‘k-city’ series. the exhibition is supposed to be on display until
spring 2020. galerie-treppenhaus.de
back
in 2015 sven piayda was asked to do an online exhibition at gallerie tellerand,
a gelsenkirchen based online only gallery project. after being very sceptical
at first, the studio developed a show dealing with the issues of digital presentation
and reduced dimensions presented in disciplines like photography, cgi, video and
sound. the show was launched on november 1st 2015 and was extended to be shown
until january 2016, featuring introduction text and conversation with gallerist
michael em walter. the digital show vanished from the web and after the following
show the gallery quit business. now, the gallery has updated the achieves and
‘#howdeepisyourlove’ has returned to the digital screen, you experience the virtual
only show as it was drafted and presented back in 2015, see links below. also:
‘four seasons after arcimboldo’ have been part oft he show, they are now on display

work on display: 'lifeguard' & 'future perfect (lvb#10)'
based
upon the problematic issue of impossible big openings and the loss of opportunity
for artists to show and sell work the gelsenkirchen based szeniale organisation
developed 'ansehBar' as answer to the covid-19 crisis, a billboard based outside
exhibition project curated by nancy e. watt and christoph lammert.
with
this action we don't just want to bring beautiful colourful pictures into the
city. it is above all about strengthening and sharpening the perception. if art
and culture cannot be present in public space to the usual extent, or if no (regular)
form of organizing presentation is possible, it is necessary to fill and enliven
this space in a different way. art and culture are vital, they are building blocks
of a successful society, signs of democratic coexistence and - under all circumstances
- to make them visible in public space, the curators state.
'ansehBar'
wants to make art in times of distance rules experienceable in an unusual way:
wherever else advertising can be seen, artistic works will be shown from july
to september 2020. in cooperation with the department of culture of the city of
gelsenkirchen, the förderverein szeniale invites up to 30 artists from the gelsenkirchen
independent scene to present themselves publicly and strikingly in the urban space.
for this purpose, the media company ströer (initially) 15 large-format billboards
will be made available free of charge.
the posters form a gallery in public
space which, as a satellite project of the festival 'szeniale', brings art and
culture from different fields into the urban space: in addition to works from
painting, photography and graphics, positions from film, music, theatre, dance
and literature can also be creatively transferred to the poster format. the immediate
experience is supplemented by digital information that can be called up on each
poster with a smartphone via a qr code. a map helps those interested to find their
own way through this open-air exhibition on foot or by bicycle.
for
the 'ansehBar' group show, sven piayda´s 'lifeguard' (2018) had been chosen to
be presented on one of the 2.50 by 3.60 meter billboards in the first part of
the show running from july 10 to august 10. the escorting text statesas following:
the life belt is missing in its station in the immediate vicinity of the
lake. instead, an idiosyncratically shaped substitute hangs in its place, which
cannot replace the ring in its function, but which becomes the new motif in the
picture. typical for piayda's work are tableaus, mostly photographs of rather
unspecific places, usually arranged as landscapes, to which an object was added
as a motif in post-production. the work for 'ansehBar' aims to add something beautiful
and worth seeing to the urban space, similar to the abstract objects in the photographs.
sven
piayda´s contribution ‘lifeguard’ is placed at a prominent position. the billboard
can be found at augustastraße/weberstaße in downtown gelsenkirchen. the piece
incidentally interacts and mirrors its surrounding: the trees in the picture seem
grow into the trees on the street, the ‘lifeguard’ surrogate has the same colour
as the nearby trash bin and the pillars of the lifeguard´s housing correspond
with the billboard´s pillars. the places have been chosen incidentally but we
can be very happy with this place. you are welcome to visit the billboard and
post pictures of it. find all collected pictures of the work and the press conference
over at the exhibitions
section.
we
have already found some pictures on instagram and facebook of the perfectly installed
piece. we are happy to see that people are experiencing art outside and that the
piece is actually adding something to the place. once again: all pictures of the
work are welcome, feel free to photograph, post and send your shot.
above
you see the two curators and artists christoph lammert and nancy watt after the
press conference as photographed by participation artists havva ayvalik. further
documentaries at the exhibitions section.
update
2020-07-20: the szeniale organisation has scheduled a walk along the billboards
placed downtown with major candidate karin welge (spd), sven piayda is believed
to participate. the walk will start around 9.30 am in downtown gelsenkirchen,
you might like to join for taking pictures and/or get in contact with participating
artists. we are curious for the press echo and are interested in getting in touch
with the (probably) future major.
update
2020-07-24: for yesterday the szeniale team organized an art walk along the
billboards in gelsenkirchen downtown. the walk featured the curators nancy watt
and christoph lammert alongside with participating artists like roman pilgrim
and sven piayda, above to see in conversation with also participating major candidate
karin welge (spd). you can see more pictures of the walk in the exhibitions
section. the szeniale has also scheduled another art walk with the major candidate
from the green party for saturday, see facebook
event. we hope that future politicians in charge will take the szeniale organization
seriously and support their actions which already had a great and positive effect
on the cultural scene, the city and it´s residents.
as
ludwig van beethoven would celebrate this 250th birthday in 2020, the ruhr gallery/galerie
an der ruhr planned to honour the composer with a group show. the exhibition is
curated by klaus wiesel, who requested the studio to create and contribute a work
to the show. the new sound piece 'future perfect (lvb#10)' is exhibited in the
group show.
last sunday the ruhr gallery opened the third and last part
of the beethoven based group show ‘schöner!’ as curated by klaus wiesel. the opening
was well attended while taking care of current rules concerning distance and mask.
sven piayda´s ‘future perfect (lvb#10)’ as presented as one-sided transparent
vinly edition was played numerous times on an old automatic dual record player.
the work gained great feedback and enjoyable until august 2. the piece is available
in an edition of three, please contact the studio for purchasing info. documentaries
at the exhibitions
section.
the show opening originally was scheduled for sunday,
march 22, but the gallery heads have decided to cancel the opening because of
the on-going danger of spreading the covid-19 virus. the group show returns now
in slightly different shape: to reduce the number of actually shown pieces
with the given space while presenting all announced works curator klaus wiesel
has split the show into three parts. 'future perfect (lvb#10)' is now exhibited
within part 3 opening on sunday, july 12, at 4 pm. contradicting differently shared
information the piece will be presented as one sided transparent vinyl record
which is titled, signed, numbered and dated
on the back and is ready to be played on demand. it will be available in an
edition of 3 and is also supposed to be presented by the vinyl lounge and probably
further art dealers. the piece is available for purchase, please contact the gallery
or studio for information. even if differently announced in the media, the piece
‘be sure to wear flowers in your hair’ will not be part of the show, it may return
to the gallery as part of the ‘ruhr trilogy’ in different context.
in
his work 'future perfect (lvb#10)', sven piayda dedicates himself to beethoven's
unfinished 10th symphony, which was repeatedly sought to be completed - most recently
with the help of artificial intelligence. piayda's version translates the fragmentary
scores into synthetic sound, which seems as futuristic as it is out-dated. this
his version explicitly does not present itself as a questionable attempt at perfection,
but as a kind of remix or free interpretation, which comes across like a soundtrack
to a dystopian science fiction film - almost as if daniel lopatin (oneothrix point
never) had composed a new film score for 'clockwork orange'. kubrik already used
beethoven's music for his film.
’SCHÖNER!
Pt 3’ also has a top-class cast. the participating artists are: Christoph Brée,
Marion Callies, Jutta Dammers-Plaßmann (master student of Markus Lüpertz), Beate
Fortmann, Janina Funken, Nikolaus Gasser (1937 - 2013), Sabine Geiger-Brée, Klaus
Jost, Bernward Kraft, Ruth Kretzmann (winner of the 7th artists' prize of revierkunst
2018), Claus Peter Laube, Sven Piayda (ruhr prize winner of the city of mülheim
an der ruhr 2016), the seven-year-old Viktoria Isabella with her first work, Ali
Yadegar-Youssefi (former rector of the university of fine arts in tehran), Cornelia
Wissel and Klaus Wiesel. the düsseldorf artists Tilch Hagemann, Lutz Lange and
Bernadett Wiethoff and the artist Chinmayo, who has been artistically active in
duisburg for more than 50 years, will also be present.
alexander
franz and piayda have considered further sound works for 2021 dealing with joseph
beuys. ways of playing the piece will be discussed, also a release of the ruhr
trilogy (san francisco/beethoven/beuys) is recently discussed in studio.
caused
by the aftermath of the lockdown situation, there is no open exhibition on display
featuring work by sven piayda (with the exception of the permanent exhibition
at galerie treppenhaus and the guest participation at edel extra in nuremberg).
all scheduled shows had been postponed or were cancelled. also there are no live
dates or dj sets scheduled to take place recently. the studio has used the lockdown
situation to work on an exhibition project escorted by a vinyl release merging
concepts of experiencing and collecting art and music: aural park.
today
sven piayda and the studio in cooperation with zany music reveal a new summer
project being a mixture of exhibition and listening event. within the aural park
project piayda presents some of his recent sound works as well as exclusively
produced versions of record of tides tracks in private and public parks where
they will be played by small music devices. all events are supposed to take place
in an open air context, therefor (and depending on the weather) the listening
events will be announced only a few days in advance via facebook events.
to
start the project the four exclusive versions from tracks originally found on
the 2017 record of tides album ‘solna’ are released today on zany music and are
available on transparent vinyl as limited edition only. the vinyl comes with additional
transparent sleeve with record of tides logo sticker. as the release is limited
to 100 copies only, there are less than hundred copies available. as there have
been numerous pre-orders, the 12’’ is sold out today on the day of release. in
case of being interested in purchasing a copy anyway, make sure to contact the
studio to be registered for a reissue of the album. escorting the vinyl ep,
record of tides ‘aural park’ is also available as mp3 bundle with compact disc
sized and edited artwork. the digital version is available via /CAMP,
a password protected area only open to customer having purchased the vinyl or
any other sven piayda related content. the vinyl purchase also enables to
customers to receive the AP ADDS mp3 bundle, a three-track-60-minute hdj set featuring
tracks of inspiring artists.
we are recieving a lot of positive
feedback concerning the artwork for 'aural park' vinyl EP and decoding attepts
concerning the sleeve design. the variation of the motorway sign is a clear reference
to kraftwerk´s 'autobahn' while the kids chasing after a deer reminds of visual
achetypes found in boards of canada artwork. however, all of your feedback is
appreciated and it might be a true indicator for good design that we see and feel
similar things while looking at it. let´s see what the next cover will be all
about...
to
participate in aural park listening events (announced only a few days in advance
caused by dependence on the weather) please check the project site and confirm
your participation reliably via facebook events.
as
you might know, michael schreiber and sven piayda have been collaborating for
the well appreciated album ‘altered stems’ and have been discussing further collaborations
since. next to music production it is remarkable that schreiber is also a trained
code programmer who has already created code for well-known artists and is now
collaborating with the studio for generative image production. they have already
finished a mini series wich remains unreleased but have also created series of
posters escorting the 'aural park' project.
also they are recently working
in studio together for new music. piayda has already announced to not put out
any more music in 2020, so it is believed that they are working on material for
schreiber´s project ‘all notes off’. more soon! update 2020-07-20:
michael wrote in advance of the recording: I am very excited to try new things
and work on new material together with sven. think I have to check if there is
a red carpet anywhere so I can roll it out in front of the studio. a little
later this ‘preview’
was found online, once again with a comment from michael: a track preview on
the upcoming album ‘entertain’ - in case in plan will be released in 2020. the
track was done in a single recording session in another collaboration with record
of tides and as always has been a pleased in co-working with high output. background
of the track: one of my customers is running a real ‘heavy metal’ business and
the machine park and industrial space is really impressive.
update
2020-07-24: the common recording sessions appear to be a lot more ambitioned
than expected. up to now it is believed that the material will be released in
autumn with a yet unknown project name. also there are rumours that AESTATE´s
chris huff has shown up in studio to contribute bass guitar parts for certain
songs. something is coming up. please be patient and stay excited!
the
'aural park' vinyl ep has received great feedback, not just for the music but
also for the great artwork made for this format. unfortunately, there have not
been any listening events so far caused by bad weather and schedule difficulties.
so we are very happy to tell you that sven piayda studio has been working in collaboration
with programmer michael schreiber on an 'aural park' fine art print poster edition
series. there are four posters available, sized 75 by 50 cm, ready to order from
the aural park microsite or at listening events. as the vinyl ep is sold out we
also expect the posters to be sold out soon. please note: purchasing an aural
park poster designed by michael schreiber and sven piayda also enables access
to /CAMP and the ‘aural park’ ep as mp3 & jpg bundle. click the images for
larger view.
update
2020-07-24: caused by the constantly changing weather situation and strict
restrictions in public parks the ‘aural park’ project ends without any public
listening event. there have been test events by the team in spring, but it was
not possible to schedule an event within the announced timespan. we hope to bring
back the event next summer, the studio is considering changes like an open call
to feature further artists working with sound. the ‘aural park’ vinyl edition
has sold out quickly. as zany music considers to put out more music on vinyl there
might be a second run of the ‘aural park’ vinyl next year. if you are interested,
please contact studio[at]svenpiayda.com, so we can put your name on the list (and
will not give your data to anyone else.) the ep is also available via /CAMP. by
purchasing the vinyl, poster or any other product you will get full access to
music, videos and texts featured in the /CAMP.
update
2020-07-27: sven piayda has returned to 'natürliche ausrede' podcast
for episode 030. as this episode is supposed to be the end of the first season,
podcast host chris braucks and sven piayda change roles, the focus is on braucks
this time while piayda acts as host. therefore the episode is called 'selfie mit
sven'. chris braucks adds in is escorting text: the guest of this episode
is a returner. on may 18th sven piayda was already here to talk about his art.
at that time the idea was born to turn it the other way around and ask questions
himself. a fitting idea for the end of season. the podcast will take a break over
august. sven should have his own podcast anyway.
we
are happy to announce that sven piayda is featured in episode 017 of the ‘natürliche
ausrede’ podcast. in the 93 minute conversation host chris braucks and sven piayda
talk about art, music, upcoming collaborations, profitable systems and cultural
sustainability. unfortunately the podcast is only available in german language,
but is recommended listening to as both are interested and interesting conversation
partners. within the episode you can hear snippets of the record of tides
track ‘dawn reversed (aural park version)’ as it is supposed to be released on
vinyl soon.
the escorting text states: if you take a look at his
website, which is well worth seeing and extensively documented, you can quickly
see in how many disciplines the mülheim-based artist sven piayda has competed.
photography, conceptual installation art, music, video are just a few of them.
we talk about the urge behind the creative process, the truthfulness of photos,
the role of the self-image in social media and the mildness of old age that extends
the taste for music.
above
you see braucks and piayda during the recording, perfectly socially distanced
as recommended. in the blog piayda wrote about developing and starting a podcast
series back in autumn 2018 but dismissed the project in summer 2019. however,
another episode with braucks and piayda is in consideration, further collaborations
are possible.
as
promised, episode 017 is now also available via youtube and can be listened to
and shared by the video player above. also
you can listen to the episodes on youtube.
caused
by the on-going lockdown situation there is no open exhibition on display featuring
work by sven piayda. therefore piayda is recently focussing on producing and releasing
music as well as working in and with the studio on the upcoming ‘needle in the
multiverse’ solo show.
still dates cannot be fixed recently but the show
is expected to open in autumn/winter 2020 or even later. the stow is supposed
to feature the ‘multiverse memory’, a variation of the well known ravensburger
memory card game. it will feature 48 cards produced by ravensburger while appearing
slightly different than the original game, while playing the players will have
to modify the rules to get along with the game. as the game is not on sale, the
studio offers ‘multiverse memory card set’ editions consisting of three memory
cards featuring works from different (and previously unreleased) mini series.
while the sets will be offered as editions escorting the ‘needle in the multiverse’,
you can purchase them now already for bargain price.
as
you see, the multiverse memory card sets consists of three original six by six
centimetre ravensburger memory cards with the typical blue typography in rapport.
(click image for full view)
it
is our massive pleasure to announce that the studio is now offering a memory game
featuring sven piayda´s tableau works as pictured on the cards. the memory game
has been produced by ravensburger on demand, the german traditional company ravensburger
has originally developed the memory game and has put it on the market first.
the piayda memory game features 72 cards (i.e. 36 different tableaus on 36 pairs),
a tin box and a booklet explaining the memory game rules in different languages,
all in ravensburger quality, see picture above. please note: this version is not
a regular release by ravensburger, it is not available from the company.
the memory game is one of many ideas of the studio to create output next to artworks
or art shows and is now entering new contexts. also, the studio is recently working
on a variation of the memory game to play an important part in an upcoming solo
show. you will find out about the development of this new game here.
the
memory game is available exclusively from the studio. if you are interested in
getting your version, please mail to studio[at]svenpiayda.com, also to get info
on the price, shipping cost and delivery time span. have a look at more pictures
of the piayda memory game over at the studio
purchase site.more info and pictures over at studio.svenpiayda.com.
it is our massive
pleasure to announce the release of 'black album', the sixth full length album
by record of tides. the album is out once again on the hamburg based netlabel
kreislauf.org and is available digitally and free. kreislauf.org has already released
the reissue of record of tides´ debut 'timber' from 2004 in 2014, the follow
up 'vessel' in 2016, the 2017 album ‘solna’ and the 2018 album ‘endurance’.
‘black
album’ has been programmed, recorded and produced between autumn 2016 and spring
2019. the album features 10 tracks and is mostly inspired by aphex twin and boards
of canada (also some autechre for deconstructed parts) again, there are no guitars
or any acoustic instruments on the album. the album is prominent for bocesque
sounds and melodies while contrasting complex beat programming.
some new
tracks have already appeared in record of tides live sets of the last three years,
sometimes in alternative versions. you may like to check the bootlegs and snippets
floating in the net for new sounds.
kreislauf.org label boss andreas buttweiler
and sven piayda have been discussing the holding of the release date (which had
been around behind closed doors before) in times of the on-going crises. both
agreed that releasing the album digitally only does not need any close distance
personal contact. also enjoying new music is primarily something personal you
probably do for yourself, in your living room, your car, via headphones in the
garden or doing sports. this release does not conflict with current social distancing
rules. even feedback, discussions and reviews usually appear in digital media.
feedback is well appreciated.
‘black album’ is available now and is released
via kreislauf.org
and is distribued via archive.org.
zany music has preponed
the release of MCPMF ‘thug life’ to offer more material for you to enjoy at home.
it is available via /CAMP now. next to the new hip hop mixtape, you can still
download the 2017 compilation album ‘driftings’ by record of tides as well as
the 2010 AESTATE live gig at audiodigitale. additionally you can watch the ruhrpreis
trailer and you can access all text available for the 2018 piayda solo show ‘adaptation
(you´re mine)’. the /CAMP is usually only available and accessible to people
owning artworks by sven piayda or records (physical or digital) by AESTATE, record
of tides and affiliated projects, so we can offer changing content even after
purchasing a certain piece. now we are opening the /CAMP for everyone to download
and enjoy the exclusive content. to access please register via studio[at]svenpiayda.com.
(your email will not given to third parties or used for newsletters or any
other purpose.)
all about the release: back in august 2018 sven piayda
reported in his blog about the story of this photograph: one of my friends
asked where this well furnished interior was taken (his guess was america…(it
was actually taken in an apartment in whitsable, england during some days off
in summer 2018)) and that it looks like the album cover form a hip suburban
rapper. well, so this is what the cover looks like now. now I need to work on
my rap skills to blow the scene away… I could do some lame cloud rap on idm beats…
maybe an new electronica album is more likely - or maybe post rock? you´ll never
know. however, inspired by the fictional cover and serious interest in
rap and hip hop music, piayda has been working on a mixtape for months. it is
mainly based upon tracks which had been frequently listened to during work out
and sports. it features quite popular, rare and less known hip hop related music
which is merged into a full set. the artist or stage name MCPMF as well as the
title 'thig life' are actualy not to be taken serious as they play with rap clichés.
nevertheless, the mixtape is a serous interest in hip hop and rap music. the mixtape
is available as mp3 and downloadable in the /CAMP exclusively.
still on: record of tides´
recent albums ‘collected riffing works’ and ‘endurance’ are still available from

summer group shows: 'ansehBar' and 'schöner! pt.3'
we
are facing a strange year recently, many cultural events like art shows had been
postponed or cancelled. so we are very happy to announce two group exhibitions
featuring sven piayda which had been affected or even been launched as answer
to the covid-19 crisis.
based upon the problematic issue of impossible
big openings and the loss of opportunity for artists to show and sell work the
gelsenkirchen based szeniale organisation developed 'ansehBar', a billboard based
outside exhibition project curated by nancy e. watt and christoph lammert.
with this action we don't just want to bring beautiful colourful pictures into
the city. it is above all about strengthening and sharpening the perception. if
art and culture cannot be present in public space to the usual extent, or if no
(regular) form of organizing presentation is possible, it is necessary to fill
and enliven this space in a different way. art and culture are vital, they are
building blocks of a successful society, signs of democratic coexistence and -
under all circumstances - to make them visible in public space, the curators
state.
'ansehBar' wants to make art in times of distance rules experienceable
in an unusual way: wherever else advertising can be seen, artistic works will
be shown from july to september 2020. in cooperation with the department of culture
of the city of gelsenkirchen, the förderverein szeniale invites up to 30 artists
from the gelsenkirchen independent scene to present themselves publicly and strikingly
in the urban space. for this purpose, the media company ströer (initially)15 large-format
billboards will be made available free of charge.
the posters form a gallery
in public space which, as a satellite project of the festival 'szeniale', brings
art and culture from different fields into the urban space: in addition to works
from painting, photography and graphics, positions from film, music, theatre,
dance and literature can also be creatively transferred to the poster format.
the immediate experience is supplemented by digital information that can be called
up on each poster with a smartphone via a qr code. a map helps those interested
to find their own way through this open-air exhibition on foot or by bicycle.
unfortunately there is no opening event scheduled, you might get updates
on escorting events via sven
piayda studio on facebook. nevertheless the show will be opened via press
conference as scheduled for friday, july 10, 11.30 am at trinkhalle am flöz (bochumer
str. 139 / flöz sonnenschein, gelsenkirchen). facebook
event
for
the 'ansehBar' group show, sven piayda´s 'lifeguard' (2018) had been chosen to
be presented on one of the 2.50 by 3.60 meter billboards in the first part of
the show running from july 10 to august 10. the escorting text statesas following:
the life belt is missing in its station in the immediate vicinity of the lake.
instead, an idiosyncratically shaped substitute hangs in its place, which cannot
replace the ring in its function, but which becomes the new motif in the picture.
typical for piayda's work are tableaus, mostly photographs of rather unspecific
places, usually arranged as landscapes, to which an object was added as a motif
in post-production. the work for 'ansehBar' aims to add something beautiful and
worth seeing to the urban space, similar to the abstract objects in the photographs.

ludwig van beethoven would celebrate this 250th birthday in 2020, the ruhr gallery/galerie

curated by klaus wiesel, who requested the studio to create and contribute a work
to the show. the new sound piece 'future perfect (lvb#10)' will now finally be
exhibited at the group show.
the show opening originally was scheduled
for sunday, march 22, but the gallery heads have decided to cancel the opening
because of the on-going danger of spreading the covid-19 virus. the group show
returns now in slightly different shape: to reduce the number of actually
shown pieces with the given space while presenting all announced works curator
klaus wiesel has split the show into three parts. 'future perfect (lvb#10)' is
now exhibited within part 3 opening on sunday, july 12, at 4 pm. contradicting
differently shared information the piece will be presented as one sided transparent
vinyl record which is titled, signed, numbered
and dated on the back and is ready to be played on demand. it will be available
in an edition of 3 and is also supposed to be presented by the vinyl lounge and
probably further art dealers. the piece is available for purchase, please contact
the gallery or studio for information. even if differently announced in the media,
the piece ‘be sure to wear flowers in your hair’ will not be part of the show,
it may return to the gallery as part of the ‘ruhr trilogy’ in different context.
in
his work 'future perfect (lvb#10)', sven piayda dedicates himself to beethoven's
unfinished 10th symphony, which was repeatedly sought to be completed - most recently
with the help of artificial intelligence. piayda's version translates the fragmentary
scores into synthetic sound, which seems as futuristic as it is out-dated. this
his version explicitly does not present itself as a questionable attempt at perfection,
but as a kind of remix or free interpretation, which comes across like a soundtrack
to a dystopian science fiction film - almost as if daniel lopatin (oneothrix point
never) had composed a new film score for 'clockwork orange'. kubrik already used
beethoven's music for his film.
caused
by the aftermath of the lockdown situation, there is no open exhibition on display
featuring work by sven piayda (with the exception of the permanent exhibition
at galerie treppenhaus and the guest participation at edel extra in nuremberg).
all scheduled shows had been postponed or were cancelled. also there are no live
dates or dj sets scheduled to take place recently. the studio has used the lockdown
situation to work on an exhibition project escorted by a vinyl release merging
concepts of experiencing and collecting art and music: aural park.
today
sven piayda and the studio in cooperation with zany music reveal a new summer
project being a mixture of exhibition and listening event. within the aural park
project piayda presents some of his recent sound works as well as exclusively
produced versions of record of tides tracks in private and public parks where
they will be played by small music devices. all events are supposed to take place
in an open air context, therefor (and depending on the weather) the listening
events will be announced only a few days in advance via facebook events.
to
start the project the four exclusive versions from tracks originally found on
the 2017 record of tides album ‘solna’ are released today on zany music and are
available on transparent vinyl as limited edition only. the vinyl comes with additional
transparent sleeve with record of tides logo sticker. as the release is limited
to 100 copies only, there are less than hundred copies available. as there have
been numerous pre-orders, the 12’’ is sold out today on the day of release. in
case of being interested in purchasing a copy anyway, make sure to contact the
studio to be registered for a reissue of the album. escorting the vinyl ep,
record of tides ‘aural park’ is also available as mp3 bundle with compact disc
sized and edited artwork. the digital version is available via /CAMP,
a password protected area only open to customer having purchased the vinyl or
any other sven piayda related content. the vinyl purchase also enables to
customers to receive the AP ADDS mp3 bundle, a three-track-60-minute hdj set featuring
tracks of inspiring artists.
we are recieving a lot of positive
feedback concerning the artwork for 'aural park' vinyl EP and decoding attepts
concerning the sleeve design. the variation of the motorway sign is a clear reference
to kraftwerk´s 'autobahn' while the kids chasing after a deer reminds of visual
achetypes found in boards of canada artwork. however, all of your feedback is
appreciated and it might be a true indicator for good design that we see and feel
similar things while looking at it. let´s see what the next cover will be all
about...
to
participate in aural park listening events (announced only a few days in advance
caused by dependence on the weather) please check the project site and confirm
your participation reliably via facebook events.
as
you might know, michael schreiber and sven piayda have been collaborating for
the well appreciated album ‘altered stems’ and have been discussing further collaborations
since. next to music production it is remarkable that schreiber is also a trained
code programmer who has already created code for well-known artists and is now
collaborating with the studio for generative image production. they have already
finished a mini series wich remains unreleased but have also created series of
posters escorting the 'aural park' project:
the
'aural park' vinyl ep has received great feedback, not just for the music but
also for the great artwork made for this format. unfortunately, there have not
been any listening events so far caused by bad weather and schedule difficulties.
so we are very happy to tell you that sven piayda studio has been working in collaboration
with programmer michael schreiber on an 'aural park' fine art print poster edition
series. there are four posters available, sized 75 by 50 cm, ready to order from
the aural park microsite or at listening events. as the vinyl ep is sold out we
also expect the posters to be sold out soon. please note: purchasing an aural
park poster designed by michael schreiber and sven piayda also enables access
to /CAMP and the ‘aural park’ ep as mp3 & jpg bundle. click the images for
larger view.
we
are happy to announce that sven piayda is featured in episode 017 of the ‘natürliche
ausrede’ podcast. in the 93 minute conversation host chris braucks and sven piayda
talk about art, music, upcoming collaborations, profitable systems and cultural
sustainability. unfortunately the podcast is only available in german language,
but is recommended listening to as both are interested and interesting conversation
partners. within the episode you can hear snippets of the record of tides
track ‘dawn reversed (aural park version)’ as it is supposed to be released on
vinyl soon.
the escorting text states: if you take a look at his
website, which is well worth seeing and extensively documented, you can quickly
see in how many disciplines the mülheim-based artist sven piayda has competed.
photography, conceptual installation art, music, video are just a few of them.
we talk about the urge behind the creative process, the truthfulness of photos,
the role of the self-image in social media and the mildness of old age that extends
the taste for music.
above
you see braucks and piayda during the recording, perfectly socially distanced
as recommended. in the blog piayda wrote about developing and starting a podcast
series back in autumn 2018 but dismissed the project in summer 2019. however,
another episode with braucks and piayda is in consideration, further collaborations
are possible.
as
promised, episode 017 is now also available via youtube and can be listened to
and shared by the video player above. also
you can listen to the episodes on youtube.
caused
by the on-going lockdown situation there is no open exhibition on display featuring
work by sven piayda. therefore piayda is recently focussing on producing and releasing
music as well as working in and with the studio on the upcoming ‘needle in the
multiverse’ solo show.
still dates cannot be fixed recently but the show
is expected to open in autumn/winter 2020 or even later. the stow is supposed
to feature the ‘multiverse memory’, a variation of the well known ravensburger
memory card game. it will feature 48 cards produced by ravensburger while appearing
slightly different than the original game, while playing the players will have
to modify the rules to get along with the game. as the game is not on sale, the
studio offers ‘multiverse memory card set’ editions consisting of three memory
cards featuring works from different (and previously unreleased) mini series.
while the sets will be offered as editions escorting the ‘needle in the multiverse’,
you can purchase them now already for bargain price.
as
you see, the multiverse memory card sets consists of three original six by six
centimetre ravensburger memory cards with the typical blue typography in rapport.

it
is our massive pleasure to announce that the studio is now offering a memory game
featuring sven piayda´s tableau works as pictured on the cards. the memory game
has been produced by ravensburger on demand, the german traditional company ravensburger
has originally developed the memory game and has put it on the market first.
the piayda memory game features 72 cards (i.e. 36 different tableaus on 36 pairs),
a tin box and a booklet explaining the memory game rules in different languages,
all in ravensburger quality, see picture above. please note: this version is not
a regular release by ravensburger, it is not available from the company.
the memory game is one of many ideas of the studio to create output next to artworks
or art shows and is now entering new contexts. also, the studio is recently working
on a variation of the memory game to play an important part in an upcoming solo
show. you will find out about the development of this new game here.
the
memory game is available exclusively from the studio. if you are interested in
getting your version, please mail to studio[at]svenpiayda.com, also to get info
on the price, shipping cost and delivery time span. have a look at more pictures
of the piayda memory game over at the studio
purchase site.more info and pictures over at studio.svenpiayda.com.
it is our massive
pleasure to announce the release of 'black album', the sixth full length album
by record of tides. the album is out once again on the hamburg based netlabel
kreislauf.org and is available digitally and free. kreislauf.org has already released
the reissue of record of tides´ debut 'timber' from 2004 in 2014, the follow
up 'vessel' in 2016, the 2017 album ‘solna’ and the 2018 album ‘endurance’.
‘black
album’ has been programmed, recorded and produced between autumn 2016 and spring
2019. the album features 10 tracks and is mostly inspired by aphex twin and boards
of canada (also some autechre for deconstructed parts) again, there are no guitars
or any acoustic instruments on the album. the album is prominent for bocesque
sounds and melodies while contrasting complex beat programming.
some new
tracks have already appeared in record of tides live sets of the last three years,
sometimes in alternative versions. you may like to check the bootlegs and snippets
floating in the net for new sounds.
kreislauf.org label boss andreas buttweiler
and sven piayda have been discussing the holding of the release date (which had
been around behind closed doors before) in times of the on-going crises. both
agreed that releasing the album digitally only does not need any close distance
personal contact. also enjoying new music is primarily something personal you
probably do for yourself, in your living room, your car, via headphones in the
garden or doing sports. this release does not conflict with current social distancing
rules. even feedback, discussions and reviews usually appear in digital media.
feedback is well appreciated.
‘black album’ is available now and is released
via kreislauf.org
and is distribued via archive.org.
zany music has preponed
the release of MCPMF ‘thug life’ to offer more material for you to enjoy at home.
it is available via /CAMP now. next to the new hip hop mixtape, you can still
download the 2017 compilation album ‘driftings’ by record of tides as well as
the 2010 AESTATE live gig at audiodigitale. additionally you can watch the ruhrpreis
trailer and you can access all text available for the 2018 piayda solo show ‘adaptation
(you´re mine)’. the /CAMP is usually only available and accessible to people
owning artworks by sven piayda or records (physical or digital) by AESTATE, record
of tides and affiliated projects, so we can offer changing content even after
purchasing a certain piece. now we are opening the /CAMP for everyone to download
and enjoy the exclusive content. to access please register via studio[at]svenpiayda.com.
(your email will not given to third parties or used for newsletters or any
other purpose.)
all about the release: back in august 2018 sven piayda
reported in his blog about the story of this photograph: one of my friends
asked where this well furnished interior was taken (his guess was america…(it
was actually taken in an apartment in whitsable, england during some days off
in summer 2018)) and that it looks like the album cover form a hip suburban
rapper. well, so this is what the cover looks like now. now I need to work on
my rap skills to blow the scene away… I could do some lame cloud rap on idm beats…
maybe an new electronica album is more likely - or maybe post rock? you´ll never
know. however, inspired by the fictional cover and serious interest in
rap and hip hop music, piayda has been working on a mixtape for months. it is
mainly based upon tracks which had been frequently listened to during work out
and sports. it features quite popular, rare and less known hip hop related music
which is merged into a full set. the artist or stage name MCPMF as well as the
title 'thig life' are actualy not to be taken serious as they play with rap clichés.
nevertheless, the mixtape is a serous interest in hip hop and rap music. the mixtape
is available as mp3 and downloadable in the /CAMP exclusively.
still on: record of tides´
recent albums ‘collected riffing works’ and ‘endurance’ are still available from
zany music and kreislauf.org. you may like to check tem out among further releases
over at archive.org.
recently
on display: in november 2018 the galerie treppenhaus in erlangen opened ‘hochhaus
- hütte – hinterhof, der reiz des ungeliebten‘ by thomas r. hoeß, gabriella héjja
and karla köhler. the exhibition featured collaborative works by karla köhler
and sven piayda like the ‘granada interface’ music video for record of tides,
the ‘from new york to los angeles’ series and the ‘k-city’ series. the exhibition
ended in february 2019 but returned now as permanent exhibition in the first floor
of galerie treppenhaus. this permanent version of the show only features köhler´s
and piayda´s ‘k-city’ series. the exhibition is supposed to be on display until
spring 2020. galerie-treppenhaus.de
back
in 2015 sven piayda was asked to do an online exhibition at gallerie tellerand,
a gelsenkirchen based online only gallery project. after being very sceptical
at first, the studio developed a show dealing with the issues of digital presentation
and reduced dimensions presented in disciplines like photography, cgi, video and
sound. the show was launched on november 1st 2015 and was extended to be shown
until january 2016, featuring introduction text and conversation with gallerist
michael em walter. the digital show vanished from the web and after the following
show the gallery quit business. now, the gallery has updated the achieves and
‘#howdeepisyourlove’ has returned to the digital screen, you experience the virtual
only show as it was drafted and presented back in 2015, see links below. also:
‘four seasons after arcimboldo’ have been part oft he show, they are now on display
as postcard versions at galerie gublia in essen.

'aural park' vinyl ep release and show launch today
caused
by the aftermath of the lockdown situation, there is no open exhibition on display

your participation reliably via facebook events.
we
are also happy to announce that sven piayda will be participation in another exhibition
project presenting one of his photographic works as billboard this summer. by
not telling too much the group show will be open in the ruhr area. more info on
date, place and featured work to be come up soon. above you see ‘golden summer’,
which was presented 2017 in dresden, germany.
as
you might know, michael schreiber and sven piayda have been collaborating for
the well appreciated album ‘altered stems’ and have been discussing further collaborations
since. next to music production it is remarkable that schreiber is also a trained
code programmer who has already created code for known artists and is now collaborating
with the studio for generative image production. we hope to present some works
soon!
back
in early 2017 the ludwiggalerie schloss oberhausen exhibited the sven piayda video
piece ‘duracell video after vom bruch and fibonacci’. the well-noticed work became
and iconic piece of the show and was supposed to become part of the museums collection.
now the studio has finally managed to produce and to deliver the work to be added
to the collection. the museum is happy to have it in the collection and so is
sven piayda who has designed a transparent cover for the dvd edition. further
copies of the edition are still available. in case of being interested in getting
a dvd edition piece of ‘duracell video after vom bruch and fibonacci’ please contact
the studio directly. as the dvd is an out-dated medium now the studio will focus
on producing a dvd edition now – as video works may only be available as file
in future.
as
ludwig van beethoven would celebrate this 250th birthday in 2020, the ruhr gallery/galerie
an der ruhr planned to honour the composer with a group show. the exhibition was
supposed curated by klaus wiesel, who requested the studio to create and contribute
a work to the show. the new sound piece 'future perfect (lvb#10)' was supposed
to be exhibited at the group show.
the show opening was scheduled for sunday,
march 22, but the gallery heads have decided to cancel the opening because of
the on-going danger of spreading the sars-cov-2 virus. the group show returns
now in slightly different shape. to reduce the number of actually shown pieces
with the given space while presenting all announced works curator klaus wiesel
has split the show into three parts. 'future perfect (lvb#10)' is now supposed
to be exhibited within part 3 opening on sunday, july 12. contradictive to differently
shared information the piece will be presented as one sided transparent vinyl
record to be played on demand. it will be available in an edition of 3 and is
also supposed to be presented by the vinyl lounge and probably further art dealers.
the piece is available for purchase, we expect the prices to go up within the
coming months. even if differently announced in the media, the piece ‘be sure
to wear flowers in your hair’ will not be part of the show, it may return to the
gallery in different context.
in his work 'future perfect (lvb#10)', sven
piayda dedicates himself to beethoven's unfinished 10th symphony, which was repeatedly
sought to be completed - most recently with the help of artificial intelligence.
piayda's version translates the fragmentary scores into synthetic sound, which
seems as futuristic as it is out-dated. this his version explicitly does not present
itself as a questionable attempt at perfection, but as a kind of remix or free
interpretation, which comes across like a soundtrack to a dystopian science fiction
film - almost as if daniel lopatin (oneothrix point never) had composed a new
film score for 'clockwork orange'. kubrik already used beethoven's music for his
film.
our
friend and collaborator karla köhler was supposed to open her 2020 solo show at
edel extra, nürnberg on april 22. as consequence of the covid-19 crisis the show
has been postponed to a new date to be announced finally: the show will be on
display now from june 24 to 28 while there will be no opening. the show is also
supposed to feature the collaborative work ‘granada interface (the lost tapes)’,
a video for record of tides directed by sven piayda exploring köhler´s urban world
designs. not only because of the collaboration, this show is highly recommended:
for years, the work of karla köhler has been the graphic reduction of urban
architecture and its implementation through painting and media such as 3D printing
and laser technology. in this exhibition the artist presents the for the first
time open the working process of her urban world series and makes the details
and steps of their work visible. (edel extra press release) additionally,
köhler and piayda are recently working on new collaborative works. more soon.
all info at the bottom of this post.

zany music has released a new video for the record of tides track ’snow_1-7_140’
in advance of the upcoming release of the 'black album’ on kreislauf.org. the
video portrays a balloon hovering around in a basement room. the balloon, by the
way, had been a funny gift by dj kent granyon for sven piayda´s 40th birthday.
the footage therefore is believed to be taken in 2017 during the production of
a video installation piece, which has not been shown yet. the video is once again
directed by sven piayda. ’snow_1-7_140’ has already been released back in spring
2018 as part of the vinyl only ‘granada interface ep’.

the release of MCPMF ‘thug life’ to offer more material for you to enjoy at home.
it is available via /CAMP now. next to the new hip hop mixtape, you can still

and karla köhler. the exhibition featured collaborative works by karla köhler
and sven piayda like the ‘granada interface’ music video for record of tides,
the ‘from new york to los angeles’ series and the ‘k-city’ series. the exhibition
ended in february 2019 but returned now as permanent exhibition in the first floor
of galerie treppenhaus. this permanent version of the show only features köhler´s
and piayda´s ‘k-city’ series. the exhibition is supposed to be on display until
spring 2020. galerie-treppenhaus.de
back
in 2015 sven piayda was asked to do an online exhibition at gallerie tellerand,
a gelsenkirchen based online only gallery project. after being very sceptical
at first, the studio developed a show dealing with the issues of digital presentation
and reduced dimensions presented in disciplines like photography, cgi, video and
sound. the show was launched on november 1st 2015 and was extended to be shown
until january 2016, featuring introduction text and conversation with gallerist
michael em walter. the digital show vanished from the web and after the following
show the gallery quit business. now, the gallery has updated the achieves and
‘#howdeepisyourlove’ has returned to the digital screen, you experience the virtual
only show as it was drafted and presented back in 2015, see links below. also:
‘four seasons after arcimboldo’ have been part oft he show, they are now on display
as postcard versions at galerie gublia in essen.

schreiber & piayda collaboration album ‘altered stems’ out now
we
are happy announce the release of the collaboration album by michael schreiber
(stage name ‘all notes off’) and sven piayda (a.k.a. ‘record of tides’) for ‘altered
stems’. schreiber and piayda have produced a number of reworks and remixed of
tracks originally created by the other one, the full album was produced around
easter. the collection of newly edited tracks is out on zany music as download
only. even if all notes off is known for dark wave while record of tides is recognized
for contemporary idm the common album is believed to be quite close to pop music.
michael
schreiber has directed a video for the common track ‘care’, which is originally
to be found on the 2018 record of tides album ‘endurance’ and has be reworked
by all notes off. the video had been released yesterday in advance and has already
received beautiful feedback, which we do not want to hold back: you guys are
really killing me too, yo. you're the guys who mess up the amateur competition,
because they've outgrown it by miles, but (thank god) steadfastly refuse to leave
for the anonymous, friends-of-the-old-days-you-don't-know-anymore-professionals-camp.
I say this without envy, but with a certain sigh.
all
notes off and record of tides have been both performing live for ‘beats im bunker’
festival in duisburg. schreiber has also been recognizable in 2020 for participating
in ‘heavy rotation 2019’ and reviews on recent releases. also he is believed to
be involved in further on going projects like ‘aural park’ and a podcast series.
additionally, further music collaborations are scheduled. you can see all mash-up
pictures of past live performances which have been produced for promotion purposes
above.
the
video for the first rework on record of tides’ ‘mountains’ was released in spring
but without knowledge of further tracks to be ahead. the full album was produced
around easter. a new video will also come up to escort the release.
caused
by the on-going lockdown situation, closed galleries, museums and stages there
is no open exhibition on display featuring work by sven piayda with the exception
of the permanent exhibition at galerie treppenhaus in nuremberg. all scheduled
shows have been postponed or cancelled. also there are no live dates or dj sets
scheduled to take place recently. therefor piayda has working in and with the
studio on the upcoming ‘needle in the multiverse’ solo show. next to the upcoming
solo show another project has been developed.
now piayda and the studio
reveal a new summer project being a mixture of exhibition art and playing music.
within the aural park project piayda will take some of his recent sound works
as well as exclusively produced versions of record of tides tracks into private
and public parks where they will be played by small music devices. all events
are supposed to take place in an open air context, therefor (and depending on
the weather) the listening events will be announced only a few days in advance
via facebook events.
the four exclusive versions from tracks originally
found on the 2017 album ‘solna’ will be released on zany music and will be available
on transparent vinyl as limited edition only. as the release is limited to 100
copies only, there will be less than hundred copies available. the record is scheduled
to be released on june 26 but is expected to be sold out on day of release. in
case of being interested in purchasing a copy of the edition make sure to contact
the studio now.
as there
will be vinyls coming up which we expect to be sould out rapidly, we would like
to offer a preview: on request you can listen to sven piayda´s 'future
perfect (lvb#10)' and record of tides 'dawn reversed (aural park version)'. please
contact us for listening/download links. more info soon.
as
ludwig van beethoven would celebrate this 250th birthday in 2020, the ruhr gallery/galerie
an der ruhr planned to honour the composer with a group show. the exhibition was
supposed curated by klaus wiesel, who requested the studio to create and contribute
a work to the show. the new sound piece 'future perfect (lvb#10)' was supposed
to be exhibited at the group show.
the show opening was scheduled for sunday,
march 22, but the gallery heads have decided to cancel the opening because of
the on-going danger of spreading the sars-cov-2 virus. the group show returns
now in slightly different shape. to reduce the number of actually shown pieces
with the given space while presenting all announced works curator klaus wiesel
has split the show into three parts. 'future perfect (lvb#10)' is now supposed
to be exhibited within part 3 opening on sunday, july 12. contradictive to differently
shared information the piece will be presented as one sided transparent vinyl
record to be played on demand. it will be available in an edition of 3 and is
also supposed to be presented by the vinyl lounge and probably further art dealers.
the piece is available for purchase, we expect the prices to go up within the
coming months. even if differently announced in the media, the piece ‘be sure
to wear flowers in your hair’ will not be part of the show, it may return to the
gallery in different context.
in his work 'future perfect (lvb#10)', sven
piayda dedicates himself to beethoven's unfinished 10th symphony, which was repeatedly
sought to be completed - most recently with the help of artificial intelligence.
piayda's version translates the fragmentary scores into synthetic sound, which
seems as futuristic as it is out-dated. this his version explicitly does not present
itself as a questionable attempt at perfection, but as a kind of remix or free
interpretation, which comes across like a soundtrack to a dystopian science fiction
film - almost as if daniel lopatin (oneothrix point never) had composed a new
film score for 'clockwork orange'. kubrik already used beethoven's music for his
film.
our
friend and collaborator karla köhler was supposed to open her 2020 solo show at
edel extra, nürnberg on april 22. as consequence of the covid-19 crisis the show
has been postponed to a new date to be announced finally: the show will be on
display now from june 24 to 28 while there will be no opening. the show is also
supposed to feature the collaborative work ‘granada interface (the lost tapes)’,
a video for record of tides directed by sven piayda exploring köhler´s urban world
designs. not only because of the collaboration, this show is highly recommended:
for years, the work of karla köhler has been the graphic reduction of urban
architecture and its implementation through painting and media such as 3D printing
and laser technology. in this exhibition the artist presents the for the first
time open the working process of her urban world series and makes the details
and steps of their work visible. (edel extra press release) additionally,
köhler and piayda are recently working on new collaborative works. more soon.
all info at the bottom of this post.
back
in early 2017 the ludwiggalerie schloss oberhausen exhibited the video piece ‘duracell
video after vom bruch and fibonacci’. the well-noticed work became and iconic
piece of the show and was supposed to become part of the museums collection. up
to now, the studio did not manage to produce the work as available decision. as
the dvd is an out-dated medium now the studio will focus on producing a dvd edition
now – as video works may only be available as file in future. the studio has been
very busy on completing the ‘duracell after vom bruch and fibonacci’ dvd edition.
above you can see some impressions and installation views from the piece exhibited
at kunstmuseum mülheim back in 2016. in case of being interested in getting a
dvd edition piece of ‘duracell video after vom bruch and fibonacci’ please contact
the studio directly.
there
are still further dvd editions from iconic works (all have been exhibited at ludwiggalerie).
some are still available, some are not, please contact the studio for info.
we
are happy to announce that sven piayda is featured in episode 017 of the ‘natürliche
ausrede’ podcast. in the 93 minute conversation host chris braucks and sven piayda
talk about art, music, upcoming collaborations, profitable systems and cultural
sustainability. unfortunately the podcast is only available in german language,
but is recommended listening to as both are interested and interesting conversation
partners. within the episode you can hear snippets of the record of tides
track ‘dawn reversed (aural park version)’ as it is supposed to be released on
vinyl soon.
the escorting text states: if you take a look at his
website, which is well worth seeing and extensively documented, you can quickly
see in how many disciplines the mülheim-based artist sven piayda has competed.
photography, conceptual installation art, music, video are just a few of them.
we talk about the urge behind the creative process, the truthfulness of photos,
the role of the self-image in social media and the mildness of old age that extends
the taste for music.
above
you see braucks and piayda during the recording, perfectly socially distanced
as recommended. in the blog piayda wrote about developing and starting a podcast
series back in autumn 2018 but dismissed the project in summer 2019. however,
another episode with braucks and piayda is in consideration, further collaborations
are possible.
as
promised, episode 017 is now also available via youtube and can be listened to
and shared by the video player above. also
you can listen to the episodes on youtube.
caused
by the on-going lockdown situation there is no open exhibition on display featuring
work by sven piayda. therefore piayda is recently focussing on producing and releasing
music as well as working in and with the studio on the upcoming ‘needle in the
multiverse’ solo show.
still dates cannot be fixed recently but the show
is expected to open in autumn/winter 2020 or even later. the stow is supposed
to feature the ‘multiverse memory’, a variation of the well known ravensburger
memory card game. it will feature 48 cards produced by ravensburger while appearing
slightly different than the original game, while playing the players will have
to modify the rules to get along with the game. as the game is not on sale, the
studio offers ‘multiverse memory card set’ editions consisting of three memory
cards featuring works from different (and previously unreleased) mini series.
while the sets will be offered as editions escorting the ‘needle in the multiverse’,
you can purchase them now already for bargain price.
as
you see, the multiverse memory card sets consists of three original six by six
centimetre ravensburger memory cards with the typical blue typography in rapport.
(click image for full view)
it
is our massive pleasure to announce that the studio is now offering a memory game
featuring sven piayda´s tableau works as pictured on the cards. the memory game
has been produced by ravensburger on demand, the german traditional company ravensburger
has originally developed the memory game and has put it on the market first.
the piayda memory game features 72 cards (i.e. 36 different tableaus on 36 pairs),
a tin box and a booklet explaining the memory game rules in different languages,
all in ravensburger quality, see picture above. please note: this version is not
a regular release by ravensburger, it is not available from the company.
the memory game is one of many ideas of the studio to create output next to artworks
or art shows and is now entering new contexts. also, the studio is recently working
on a variation of the memory game to play an important part in an upcoming solo
show. you will find out about the development of this new game here.
the
memory game is available exclusively from the studio. if you are interested in
getting your version, please mail to studio[at]svenpiayda.com, also to get info
on the price, shipping cost and delivery time span. have a look at more pictures
of the piayda memory game over at the studio
purchase site.more info and pictures over at studio.svenpiayda.com.
it is our massive
pleasure to announce the release of 'black album', the sixth full length album
by record of tides. the album is out once again on the hamburg based netlabel
kreislauf.org and is available digitally and free. kreislauf.org has already released
the reissue of record of tides´ debut 'timber' from 2004 in 2014, the follow
up 'vessel' in 2016, the 2017 album ‘solna’ and the 2018 album ‘endurance’.
‘black
album’ has been programmed, recorded and produced between autumn 2016 and spring
2019. the album features 10 tracks and is mostly inspired by aphex twin and boards
of canada (also some autechre for deconstructed parts) again, there are no guitars
or any acoustic instruments on the album. the album is prominent for bocesque
sounds and melodies while contrasting complex beat programming.
some new
tracks have already appeared in record of tides live sets of the last three years,
sometimes in alternative versions. you may like to check the bootlegs and snippets
floating in the net for new sounds.
kreislauf.org label boss andreas buttweiler
and sven piayda have been discussing the holding of the release date (which had
been around behind closed doors before) in times of the on-going crises. both
agreed that releasing the album digitally only does not need any close distance
personal contact. also enjoying new music is primarily something personal you
probably do for yourself, in your living room, your car, via headphones in the
garden or doing sports. this release does not conflict with current social distancing
rules. even feedback, discussions and reviews usually appear in digital media.
feedback is well appreciated.
‘black album’ is available now and is released
via kreislauf.org
and is distribued via archive.org.
zany music has released a new video for the record of tides track ’snow_1-7_140’
in advance of the upcoming release of the 'black album’ on kreislauf.org. the
video portrays a balloon hovering around in a basement room. the balloon, by the
way, had been a funny gift by dj kent granyon for sven piayda´s 40th birthday.
the footage therefore is believed to be taken in 2017 during the production of
a video installation piece, which has not been shown yet. the video is once again
directed by sven piayda. ’snow_1-7_140’ has already been released back in spring
2018 as part of the vinyl only ‘granada interface ep’.
zany music has preponed
the release of MCPMF ‘thug life’ to offer more material for you to enjoy at home.
it is available via /CAMP now. next to the new hip hop mixtape, you can still
download the 2017 compilation album ‘driftings’ by record of tides as well as
the 2010 AESTATE live gig at audiodigitale. additionally you can watch the ruhrpreis
trailer and you can access all text available for the 2018 piayda solo show ‘adaptation
(you´re mine)’. the /CAMP is usually only available and accessible to people
owning artworks by sven piayda or records (physical or digital) by AESTATE, record
of tides and affiliated projects, so we can offer changing content even after
purchasing a certain piece. now we are opening the /CAMP for everyone to download
and enjoy the exclusive content. to access please register via studio[at]svenpiayda.com.
(your email will not given to third parties or used for newsletters or any
other purpose.)
all about the release: back in august 2018 sven piayda
reported in his blog about the story of this photograph: one of my friends
asked where this well furnished interior was taken (his guess was america…(it
was actually taken in an apartment in whitsable, england during some days off
in summer 2018)) and that it looks like the album cover form a hip suburban
rapper. well, so this is what the cover looks like now. now I need to work on
my rap skills to blow the scene away… I could do some lame cloud rap on idm beats…
maybe an new electronica album is more likely - or maybe post rock? you´ll never
know. however, inspired by the fictional cover and serious interest in
rap and hip hop music, piayda has been working on a mixtape for months. it is
mainly based upon tracks which had been frequently listened to during work out
and sports. it features quite popular, rare and less known hip hop related music
which is merged into a full set. the artist or stage name MCPMF as well as the
title 'thig life' are actualy not to be taken serious as they play with rap clichés.
nevertheless, the mixtape is a serous interest in hip hop and rap music. the mixtape
is available as mp3 and downloadable in the /CAMP exclusively.
still on: record of tides´
recent albums ‘collected riffing works’ and ‘endurance’ are still available from
zany music and kreislauf.org. you may like to check tem out among further releases

all about the release: back in august 2018 sven piayda
reported in his blog about the story of this photograph: one of my friends
asked where this well furnished interior was taken (his guess was america…(it
was actually taken in an apartment in whitsable, england during some days off
in summer 2018)) and that it looks like the album cover form a hip suburban
rapper. well, so this is what the cover looks like now. now I need to work on
my rap skills to blow the scene away… I could do some lame cloud rap on idm beats…
maybe an new electronica album is more likely - or maybe post rock? you´ll never
know. however, inspired by the fictional cover and serious interest in
rap and hip hop music, piayda has been working on a mixtape for months. it is
mainly based upon tracks which had been frequently listened to during work out
and sports. it features quite popular, rare and less known hip hop related music
which is merged into a full set. the artist or stage name MCPMF as well as the
title 'thig life' are actualy not to be taken serious as they play with rap clichés.
nevertheless, the mixtape is a serous interest in hip hop and rap music. the mixtape
is available as mp3 and downloadable in the /CAMP exclusively.

sven piayda on new episode of 'natürliche ausrede' podcast
we
are happy to announce that sven piayda is featured in the recent episode 017 of
the ‘natürliche ausrede’ podcast. in the 93 minute conversation host chris braucks
and sven piayda talk about art, music, upcoming collaborations, profitable systems
and cultural sustainability. unfortunately the podcast is only available in german
language, but is recommended listening to as both are interested and interesting
conversation partners. within the episode you can hear snippets of the record
of tides track ‘dawn reversed (aural park version)’ as it is supposed to be released
on vinyl soon.
the escorting text states: if you take a look at
his website, which is well worth seeing and extensively documented, you can quickly
see in how many disciplines the mülheim-based artist sven piayda has competed.
photography, conceptual installation art, music, video are just a few of them.
we talk about the urge behind the creative process, the truthfulness of photos,
the role of the self-image in social media and the mildness of old age that extends
the taste for music.
above
you see braucks and piayda during the recording, perfectly socially distanced
as recommended. in the blog piayda wrote about developing and starting a podcast
series back in autumn 2018 but dismissed the project in summer 2019. however,
another episode with braucks and piayda is in consideration, further collaborations
are possible.
we are happy and surprised
to announce the collaboration of michael schreiber (stage name ‘all notes off’)
and sven piayda (a.k.a. ‘record of tides’) for an upcoming release. schreiber
and piayda have produced a number of reworks and remixed of tracks originally
created by the other one. the collection of newly edited tracks will be released
as ‘altered stems’ in june via zany music as download only. even if all notes
off is known for dark wave while record of tides is recognized for contemporary
idm the common album is believed to be quite close to pop music.
all notes
off and record of tides have been both performing live for ‘beats im bunker’ festival
in duisburg. schreiber has also been recognizable in 2020 for participating in
‘heavy rotation 2019’ and reviews on recent releases. also he is believed to be
involved in further on going projects like ‘aural park’ and a podcast series.
additionally, further music collaborations are scheduled.
the
video for the first rework on record of tides’ ‘mountains’ was released about
one month ago but without knowledge of further tracks to be ahead. the full album
was produced around easter. a new video will also come up to escort the release.
'aural
park' is an upcoming project featuring listening events escorted by an exclusive
vinyl release. still no dates are fixed bit we expect dates for june or july.
if you are interested in getting the ‘aural park’ vinyl please write to studio[at]svenpiayda.com.
we expect it to be sold out on day of release.
as there will be vinyls
coming up which we expect to be sould out rapidly, we would like to offer a preview: on
request you can listen to sven piayda´s 'future perfect (lvb#10)' and record
of tides 'dawn reversed (aural park version)'. please contact us for listening/download
links. more info soon.
the
studio is recently very busy on compleating the ‘duracell after vom bruch and
fibonacci’ dvd edition. above you can see some impressions and installation views
from the piece exhibited at kunstmuseum mülheim back in 2016.
caused
by the on-going lockdown situation there is no open exhibition on display featuring
work by sven piayda. therefore piayda is recently focussing on producing and releasing
music as well as working in and with the studio on the upcoming ‘needle in the
multiverse’ solo show.
still dates cannot be fixed recently but the show
is expected to open in autumn/winter 2020 or even later. the stow is supposed
to feature the ‘multiverse memory’, a variation of the well known ravensburger
memory card game. it will feature 48 cards produced by ravensburger while appearing
slightly different than the original game, while playing the players will have
to modify the rules to get along with the game. as the game is not on sale, the
studio offers ‘multiverse memory card set’ editions consisting of three memory
cards featuring works from different (and previously unreleased) mini series.
while the sets will be offered as editions escorting the ‘needle in the multiverse’,
you can purchase them now already for bargain price.
as
you see, the multiverse memory card sets consists of three original six by six
centimetre ravensburger memory cards with the typical blue typography in rapport.
(click image for full view)
it
is our massive pleasure to announce that the studio is now offering a memory game
featuring sven piayda´s tableau works as pictured on the cards. the memory game
has been produced by ravensburger on demand, the german traditional company ravensburger
has originally developed the memory game and has put it on the market first.
the piayda memory game features 72 cards (i.e. 36 different tableaus on 36 pairs),
a tin box and a booklet explaining the memory game rules in different languages,
all in ravensburger quality, see picture above. please note: this version is not
a regular release by ravensburger, it is not available from the company.
the memory game is one of many ideas of the studio to create output next to artworks
or art shows and is now entering new contexts. also, the studio is recently working
on a variation of the memory game to play an important part in an upcoming solo
show. you will find out about the development of this new game here.
the
memory game is available exclusively from the studio. if you are interested in
getting your version, please mail to studio[at]svenpiayda.com, also to get info
on the price, shipping cost and delivery time span. have a look at more pictures
of the piayda memory game over at the studio
purchase site.more info and pictures over at studio.svenpiayda.com.
it is our massive
pleasure to announce the release of 'black album', the sixth full length album
by record of tides. the album is out once again on the hamburg based netlabel
kreislauf.org and is available digitally and free. kreislauf.org has already released
the reissue of record of tides´ debut 'timber' from 2004 in 2014, the follow
up 'vessel' in 2016, the 2017 album ‘solna’ and the 2018 album ‘endurance’.
‘black
album’ has been programmed, recorded and produced between autumn 2016 and spring
2019. the album features 10 tracks and is mostly inspired by aphex twin and boards
of canada (also some autechre for deconstructed parts) again, there are no guitars
or any acoustic instruments on the album. the album is prominent for bocesque
sounds and melodies while contrasting complex beat programming.
some new
tracks have already appeared in record of tides live sets of the last three years,
sometimes in alternative versions. you may like to check the bootlegs and snippets
floating in the net for new sounds.
kreislauf.org label boss andreas buttweiler
and sven piayda have been discussing the holding of the release date (which had
been around behind closed doors before) in times of the on-going crises. both
agreed that releasing the album digitally only does not need any close distance
personal contact. also enjoying new music is primarily something personal you
probably do for yourself, in your living room, your car, via headphones in the
garden or doing sports. this release does not conflict with current social distancing
rules. even feedback, discussions and reviews usually appear in digital media.
feedback is well appreciated.
‘black album’ is available now and is released
via kreislauf.org
and is distribued via archive.org.
zany music has released a new video for the record of tides track ’snow_1-7_140’
in advance of the upcoming release of the 'black album’ on kreislauf.org. the
video portrays a balloon hovering around in a basement room. the balloon, by the
way, had been a funny gift by dj kent granyon for sven piayda´s 40th birthday.
the footage therefore is believed to be taken in 2017 during the production of
a video installation piece, which has not been shown yet. the video is once again
directed by sven piayda. ’snow_1-7_140’ has already been released back in spring
2018 as part of the vinyl only ‘granada interface ep’.
zany music has preponed
the release of MCPMF ‘thug life’ to offer more material for you to enjoy at home.
it is available via /CAMP now. next to the new hip hop mixtape, you can still
download the 2017 compilation album ‘driftings’ by record of tides as well as
the 2010 AESTATE live gig at audiodigitale. additionally you can watch the ruhrpreis
trailer and you can access all text available for the 2018 piayda solo show ‘adaptation

piece of the show and was supposed to become part of the museums collection. up
to now, the studio did not manage to produce the work as available decision. as
the dvd is an out-dated medium now the studio will focus on producing a dvd edition
now – as video works may only be available as file in future. in case of being
interested in getting a dvd edition piece of ‘duracell video after vom bruch and
fibonacci’ please contact the studio directly.
in
case of being interested, there are still catalogues from pas shows available,
please contact us for more info on price and availability.
as we do not expect too many shows to be on display this summer anymore, the studio
is working on a new concept working-titled ‘aural park’, where recent sound works
(and electronic music) are supposed to be placed into public and private parks.
more info on this project to be up soon.
it is our massive
pleasure to announce the release of 'black album', the sixth full length album
by record of tides. the album is out once again on the hamburg based netlabel
kreislauf.org and is available digitally and free. kreislauf.org has already released
the reissue of record of tides´ debut 'timber' from 2004 in 2014, the follow
up 'vessel' in 2016, the 2017 album ‘solna’ and the 2018 album ‘endurance’.
‘black
album’ has been programmed, recorded and produced between autumn 2016 and spring
2019. the album features 10 tracks and is mostly inspired by aphex twin and boards
of canada (also some autechre for deconstructed parts) again, there are no guitars
or any acoustic instruments on the album. the album is prominent for bocesque
sounds and melodies while contrasting complex beat programming.
some new
tracks have already appeared in record of tides live sets of the last three years,
sometimes in alternative versions. you may like to check the bootlegs and snippets
floating in the net for new sounds.
kreislauf.org label boss andreas buttweiler
and sven piayda have been discussing the holding of the release date (which had
been around behind closed doors before) in times of the on-going crises. both
agreed that releasing the album digitally only does not need any close distance
personal contact. also enjoying new music is primarily something personal you
probably do for yourself, in your living room, your car, via headphones in the
garden or doing sports. this release does not conflict with current social distancing
rules. even feedback, discussions and reviews usually appear in digital media.
feedback is well appreciated.
‘black album’ is available now and is released
via kreislauf.org
and is distribued via archive.org.
zany music has released a new video for the record of tides track ’snow_1-7_140’
in advance of the upcoming release of the 'black album’ on kreislauf.org. the
video portrays a balloon hovering around in a basement room. the balloon, by the
way, had been a funny gift by dj kent granyon for sven piayda´s 40th birthday.
the footage therefore is believed to be taken in 2017 during the production of
a video installation piece, which has not been shown yet. the video is once again
directed by sven piayda. ’snow_1-7_140’ has already been released back in spring
2018 as part of the vinyl only ‘granada interface ep’.
the
‘black album’ by record of tides is out for a week now and has triggered some
good promotion and feedback all the way. once again thierry massard of nocovision
released an originally french article while michael schreiber from all notes off
also shared his thoughts via social media. you can red the collect reviews
on the black album over here.
the
secret behind the cover of ‘black album’: record of tides´ new album once again
features the familiar logo in a somehow cracked (or burned down) optics while
revealing rainbow colours behind the cracks. the design idea is traced back to
a curator´s request in 2017. back then piayda met with a gallerist and curator
to consider possible collaborations. the curator was recently working on putting
a group show together with works by different artists dealing with the work of
kazimir malevich. after longer research piayda surprisingly ended up with malevich´s
most famous work: the black square. as you cannot create a variation of a
black square piayda focussed on the cracks in the paint. therefore the structure
given in piayda´s slightly smaller adaptation plays more on the coincidence than
on the genius minimal idea. the work was offered for the exhibition but was withdrawn
quickly afterwards as piayda turned down the exhibition contract (‘a list of obligations
but no benefits’). the work was not exhibited or offered since but the data
had been taken up again for working on random artwork for record of tides. within
the digital process the construction files were altered (and erased), but the
rendering – or the recent black album cover – is in the net and in the world now.
the malevich-based group show was supposed to be opened in the gallery in berlin,
but (according to our knowledge) it has never been announced, opened or shown,
it appears that the project has ended without any public notice. even if the album
is called ‘black album’, the cover shows next to black all colours of the rainbow,
exploring that things are not as simple as they seem to be. the story behind
the making of the cover can also be read as an anecdote of getting to a great
place after facing numerous dead ends heading for another one. ‘black album’
is available now and is released via kreislauf.org
and is distribued via archive.org and downloadable for free.
zany music has preponed
the release of MCPMF ‘thug life’ to offer more material for you to enjoy at home.
it is available via /CAMP now. next to the new hip hop mixtape, you can still
download the 2017 compilation album ‘driftings’ by record of tides as well as
the 2010 AESTATE live gig at audiodigitale. additionally you can watch the ruhrpreis
trailer and you can access all text available for the 2018 piayda solo show ‘adaptation
(you´re mine)’. the /CAMP is usually only available and accessible to people
owning artworks by sven piayda or records (physical or digital) by AESTATE, record
of tides and affiliated projects, so we can offer changing content even after
purchasing a certain piece. now we are opening the /CAMP for everyone to download
and enjoy the exclusive content. to access please register via studio[at]svenpiayda.com.
(your email will not given to third parties or used for newsletters or any
other purpose.)
all about the release: back in august 2018 sven piayda
reported in his blog about the story of this photograph: one of my friends
asked where this well furnished interior was taken (his guess was america…(it
was actually taken in an apartment in whitsable, england during some days off
in summer 2018)) and that it looks like the album cover form a hip suburban
rapper. well, so this is what the cover looks like now. now I need to work on
my rap skills to blow the scene away… I could do some lame cloud rap on idm beats…
maybe an new electronica album is more likely - or maybe post rock? you´ll never
know. however, inspired by the fictional cover and serious interest in
rap and hip hop music, piayda has been working on a mixtape for months. it is
mainly based upon tracks which had been frequently listened to during work out
and sports. it features quite popular, rare and less known hip hop related music
which is merged into a full set. the artist or stage name MCPMF as well as the
title 'thig life' are actualy not to be taken serious as they play with rap clichés.
nevertheless, the mixtape is a serous interest in hip hop and rap music. the mixtape
is available as mp3 and downloadable in the /CAMP exclusively.

there
have ben rumours around announcing record of tides for an av live set to be streamed
within the 2k2d festival schedueld for april 30, 2020. actually, sven was requested
to perform but as there was no technical way to create a convincing event the
show was quickly cancelled again. the cancellation is not related to a general
criticism of streamed perormances to be done from home during lockdown (see 2020-04-07
more ideas for activities to refrain, what´s to miss? | entry by sven).
zany music has announced to have lots of great material as this may be the
time for releasing music, especially if the commercial aspect has no priority.
according to the recent situation and schedule 'black album' is not supposed to
be the last release for 2020. nevertheless, no live performances or streams
are planned recently.
after
the passing of david bowie in 2016 the website bowieart.com dealing with
bowie´s art portfolio and art related activities has vanished quickly from

for nostagic reasons. unfortunately we had to discover that the link (or the domain)
was now directed to a porn site, which is something that was not intended and
surprised us a lot. we would like to apologise even if we are not responsible

good music there. besides ‘reinform plus’ my favourite tracks are: ‘fulerum county'
for the awesome bass line/sound, ‘perseids’ for the silence that lives in this

michael
schreiber aka all notes off created a beautiful rework of the record of
tides track ‘mountains’ as taken from ‘collected riffing works’. the quite spontaneous
production and release is promoted by a video which is also directed by schreiber.
the rework follows the given minimalism of the original track while adding english
as well as german vocals. sven piayda announced to be stunned by the rework and
hopes for more treatments of his tracks by schreiber and others. he also admits
‘mountains’ to be the least track he would have expected for treatment. a remix/rework
compilation might be released when enough great material is available. additionally,
he is believed to be recently working on ‘collected riffing works 2’. find

more or less exactly
ten years ago zany music released AESTATE´s long time project ‘patch’, the collection
of remixes (mainly) of tracks from the ‘superflat’ album. you can download the
remix album for free from zany
music via the zany music site or via aestate-online.com.
it features ten tracks at a lengh of 46 minutes.
back in 2018 zany music
released the ‘petrichor ep’, a collection of remixes of this calm track. it is
also available from zany music and archive.org.
both remix releases feature treatmants by artists as rand0mf0rm, kill_scrxxn (also
credited as droelf), chris huff and sven piayda.
remixing one another
appears to a great way for electronic artists to interact while practicing insolation.
recently, record of tides and zany music to not have any media to offer, but we
would like to put your attention to the free available stems as delivered by battles
(rmx.bttls.com) and gallops
(instagram.com/g_a_l_l_o_p_s).
the
studio is recently still busy in rendering long time projects, actually sven is
alone in studio, but you can still contact the office. we are recently discussing
a concept for the instagram stories: sven is supposed to guide through his own
art collection giving info and telling background stories for every piece. still,
this idea is in the making.
#letstalkaboutart
update
2020-04-03: the #letstalkaboutart insta webisodes idea is getting more
and more serious. we hope to come up with something soon. for the meantime, follow
sven piayda in instagram.
update
2020-04-03: even if all cultural places have closed and it is tricky to fill
the schedules recently the studio is in contact with a curator to place the upcoming
'needle in the multiverse' show. for the main video projection, different sequences
are combined for a loose and abstract narration. restored from old production
files the video will now also feature a high definition sequence of 'lightyears'
showing the voyager space probe rushing by. more stills from the on-going production
are supposed to come up in the future.
update
2020-04-07: as you can read in the journal the #letstalkaboutart web show
has been dismissed. after working for weeks on the concept, the show is not going
to be produced or screened now. also rumours of a podcast will remain rumours
as not production is announced or scheduled. but there are also silver linings:
the electric café electronic music group is recently working on a potcast series
with piayda involved. the result may be exciting, more info hopefully soon.
update 2020-04-07:
piayda is mainly working on the upcoming solo show ‘needle in the multiverse’
which will feature a sound installation to be composed of sound works as well
of music by record of tides. within this production the studio is considering
to release the ‘if and only if mash-up’ as played during the solo show at SG1
suisburg via /CAMP. this is still an idea to be played around with, more soon.
update 2020-04-08:
record of tides live mate and reworking collaborator michael schreiber a.k.a.
all notes off has finally released his debut album as free download bundle
on his website over at all-notes-off.de.
on ‘rise and decay’ schreiber demonstrates his full range of electronic styles
from ambient electronica to dark pop and a lot in between. you might already know
schreiber from the 2019 heavy rotation list, his live appearance next to record
of tides at beats im bunker festival in february 2020 and from his rework of ‘mountains’
which can originally be found on ‘collected riffing works’. however, all notes
off is an artist for your watch list for the debut album and beyond, live gigs
and remixes. recommended!

free zany music catalogue and new mixtape via /CAMP available
as
everyone is affected in the one or other way by the on-going corona crisis and
shutdown situation sven piayda is also considering ways to present material to
make your time in quarantine more pleasant. once again - if possible - stay home,
work isolated or distanced, be as rational and strict as you can, so we can go
back to normal life as soon as possible.
as a fist offer zany music has
updated the catalogue and download links, you can download numerous releases by
record of tides, AESTATE and renert trio for free. you can download and stream
all record of tides albums directly from recordoftides.com.
(as long as it has been released digitally). the new site is also easily accessible
via smartphone.
also
zany music has preponed the release of MCPMF ‘thug life’ to offer more material
for you to enjoy at home. it is available via /CAMP now. next to the new hip hop
mixtape, you can still download the 2017 compilation album ‘driftings’ by record
of tides as well as the 2010 AESTATE live gig at audiodigitale. additionally you
can watch the ruhrpreis trailer and you can access all text available for the
2018 piayda solo show ‘adaptation (you´re mine)’. the /CAMP is usually only
available and accessible to people owning artworks by sven piayda or records (physical
or digital) by AESTATE, record of tides and affiliated projects, so we can offer
changing content even after purchasing a certain piece. now we are opening the
/CAMP for everyone to download and enjoy the exclusive content. to access please
register via studio[at]svenpiayda.com. (your email will not given to third
parties or used for newsletters or any other purpose.)
all about the release:
back in august 2018 sven piayda reported in his blog about the story of this photograph:
one of my friends asked where this well furnished interior was taken (his
guess was america…(it was actually taken in an apartment in whitsable, england
during some days off in summer 2018)) and that it looks like the album cover
form a hip suburban rapper. well, so this is what the cover looks like now. now
I need to work on my rap skills to blow the scene away… I could do some lame cloud
rap on idm beats… maybe an new electronica album is more likely - or maybe post
rock? you´ll never know. however, inspired by the fictional cover and
serious interest in rap and hip hop music, piayda has been working on a mixtape
for months. it is mainly based upon tracks which had been frequently listened
to during work out and sports. it features quite popular, rare and less known
hip hop related music which is merged into a full set. the artist or stage name
MCPMF as well as the title 'thig life' are actualy not to be taken serious as
they play with rap clichés. nevertheless, the mixtape is a serous interest in
hip hop and rap music. the mixtape is available as mp3 and downloadable in the
/CAMP exclusively.
the
studio is recently still busy in rendering long time projects, actually sven is
alone in studio, but you can still contact the office. We are recently discussing
a concept for the instagram stories: sven is supposed to guide through his own
art collection giving info and telling background stories for every piece. still,
this idea is in the making.
#letstalkaboutart
for
the upcoming solo show the studio is discussing and working on a bunch of material
showing the unshowable. as there already is a sequence exloring the universe from

multiverse. cross your fingers!
it
is our massive pleasure to announce that the studio is now offering a memory game

advance which is quite unusual for zany music.
'collected riffing works'
is a collection of ten tracks which have been produced over the period of the
past ten years which have been waiting to be released finally. as the title already
mentions, the album contains mainly guitar riffing based music focussing on the
rock music influences of record of tides. this release is actually no change in
style, sven is recently working on electronic and guitar based music.
some
heavy guitar sounds have also apperad already in the 2019 live performances, actually
none of them had been taken from 'collected riffing works'. however, record of

show cancellations and on-going studio work
caused
by the on-going corona virus crisis and the general lockdown of schools and museums
as well as further public spaces and institutions we have to admit that all shows
are postponed or cancelled until further notice. in this context we would like
to support the lockdown decisions and would ask you to stay home and reduce personal
contact to a minimum.
the studio has decided to reduce to skeleton staff,
which means that piayda will take care of recent productions to be finished. the
studio is recently working on high definition video sequences, sound as well as
a ‘multiverse memory’ for an upcoming solo show. you can still contact chris
huff for future projects, the office will remain available until further notice.
also
the studio will place video documentaries to compensate the impossibility to visit
galleries or museums. next to this, a bunch of digital releases are supposed to
come up via /CAMP and collaborative netlabels. we hope to be productive in the
upcoming weeks even if we take this historic event very serious. this is a new
situation for all of us.
please
act responsively, take care!
at first, have a look at the most recent documentary of ‘if and only if’ at SG1
in duisburg. please check and like facebook.com/svenpiaydastudio
for upcoming documentary features as well as up-to-date news.
the
studio is recently working on a larger project: the next solo show is supposed
to be called 'needle in the multiverse'. next to sound and a modified memory game
(still in the making) there will be a high definition video featuring abstract
and cryptic sequences playing with images from '2001', 'futurama', science and
art history. for this projection, the studio is doing a reproduction of 'cassini'
(2017) which was produced in pal quality to be combined for the ongoing 'golden
record' monitor based video installation. cross your fingers, redoing the sequence
is a bunch of work. the result will be outstanding!
update
2020-03-17: the studio is recently doing the rendering of the new 'cassini'
sequence. things look good so far, please cross your fingers.

update
2020-03-18: caused by the on-going lockdown situation sven piayda is recently
working in studio on finishing long-time projects. this is not about new music
but mixdowns and renderings of off/on-projects to be finished. ‘yellowcake’ (working
title) is supposed to be an album (or collection of tracks) consisting mainly
of sample based productions. also the work ‘collected riffing works II’ is going
on with mixing and working on post-production adding an album to CRW I with a
similar style. recently there are no release dates fixed for these projects and
there is no plan to put out the music now. additionally there are no live dates
or listening events. there have been rumours about a live date in may but the
dates have been turned down before. there are plans to release a hip hop mixtape
via /CAMP, also kreislauf.org
is believed to be working on something.
it
is our massive pleasure to announce that the studio is now offering a memory game
featuring sven piayda´s tableau works as pictured on the cards. the memory game
has been produced by ravensburger on demand, the german traditional company ravensburger
has originally developed the memory game and has put it on the market first.
the piayda memory game features 72 cards (i.e. 36 different tableaus on 36 pairs),
a tin box and a booklet explaining the memory game rules in different languages,
all in ravensburger quality, see picture above. please note: this version is not

ruhr gallery group show ‘schöner!’ postponed
as
ludwig van beethoven would celebrate this 250th birthday in 2020, the ruhr gallery/galerie
an der ruhr planned to honour the composer with a group show. the exhibition was
supposed curated by klaus wiesel, who requested the studio to create and contribute
a work to the show. the new sound piece 'future perfect (lvb#10)' was supposed
to be exhibiteted at the group show.
the show opening was scheduled for
sunday, march 22, but the gallery heads have decided to cancel the opening because
of the on-going danger of spreading the sars-cov-2 virus. the opening is supposed
to be delayed to a later date, the press release announces an opening in a ‘warmer
season’ which indicates a date in late spring or summer. the studio supports
the decision as we are recently facing a difficult situation dealing with a new
virus. however, piayda´s sound piece ‘future perfect (lvb#10)’ is available from
the studio and will be exhibited later, there may even be enough time to reconsider
options of presentation and offering vinyl editions, maybe even in record stores.
in
his work 'future perfect (lvb#10)', sven piayda dedicates himself to beethoven's
unfinished 10th symphony, which was repeatedly sought to be completed - most recently
with the help of artificial intelligence. piayda's version translates the fragmentary
scores into synthetic sound, which seems as futuristic as it is out-dated. thus
his version explicitly does not present itself as a questionable attempt at perfection,
but as a kind of remix or free interpretation, which comes across like a soundtrack
to a dystopian science fiction film - almost as if daniel lopatin (oneothrix point
never) had composed a new film score for 'clockwork orange'. kubrik already used
beethoven's music for his film.
the
gallery has alrady announced the show and now also contributing artists, see picture
above. as you can see it is a quite big line up.
the
doors will remain closed. the studio appreciates the decision and is recently
working on ongoing projects. in case of further lockdown, the studio may offer
something online or may close as well. more soon.
it
is our massive pleasure to announce that the studio is now offering a memory game
featuring sven piayda´s tableau works as pictured on the cards. the memory game
has been produced by ravensburger on demand, the german traditional company ravensburger
has originally developed the memory game and has put it on the market first.
the piayda memory game features 72 cards (i.e. 36 different tableaus on 36 pairs),
a tin box and a booklet explaining the memory game rules in different languages,
all in ravensburger quality, see picture above. please note: this version is not
a regular release by ravensburger, it is not available from the company.

the studio presents memory game showing piayda works
it
is our massive pleasure to announce that the studio is now offering a memory game
featuring sven piayda´s tableau works as pictured on the cards. the memory game
has been produced by ravensburger on demand, the german traditional company ravensburger
has originally developed the memory game and has put it on the market first.
the piayda memory game features 72 cards (i.e. 36 different tableaus on 36 pairs),
a tin box and a booklet explaining the memory game rules in different languages,
all in ravensburger quality, see picture above. please note: this version is not
a regular release by ravensburger, it is not available from the company.
the memory game is one of many ideas of the studio to create output next to artworks
or art shows and is now entering new contexts. also, the studio is recently working
on a variation of the memory game to play an important part in an upcoming solo
show. you will find out about the development of this new game here.
the
memory game is available exclusively from the studio. if you are interested in
getting your version, please mail to studio[at]svenpiayda.com, also to get info
on the price, shipping cost and delivery time span. more info and pictures over
at studio.svenpiayda.com.
have
a look at more pictures of the piayda memory game over at the studio
purchase site.
as
ludwig van beethoven would celebrate this 250th birthday in 2020, the ruhr gallery/galerie
an der ruhr honours the composer with a group show. the exhibition will be curated
by klaus wiesel, who requested the studio to create and contribute a work to the
show.
in his work 'future perfect (lvb#10)', sven piayda dedicates himself
to beethoven's unfinished 10th symphony, which was repeatedly sought to be completed
- most recently with the help of artificial intelligence. piayda's version translates
the fragmentary scores into synthetic sound, which seems as futuristic as it is
out-dated. thus his version explicitly does not present itself as a questionable
attempt at perfection, but as a kind of remix or free interpretation, which comes
across like a soundtrack to a dystopian science fiction film - almost as if daniel
lopatin (oneothrix point never) had composed a new film score for 'clockwork orange'.
kubrik already used beethoven's music for his film.
the piece is supposed
to be presented as sound installation (probably in combination with another sound
piece), it may also be available as limited and signed transparent vinyl version.
additionally, the studio has created a high-resolution cgi poster, which may escort
the installation.

info at the bottom of this post.
update
2020-02-18: galerie an der ruhr will open the group show ‘schöner!’ on march
22 celebrating the 250th birthday of ludwig van beethoven. the gallery has alrady
announced the show and now also contributing artists, see picture above. as you
can see it is a quite big line up. we have already announced that piayda and the
studio have been are working on a sound-based artwork for the show. still it is
not clear if there will be a poster or vinyl escorting the sound piece.
update
2020-03-02: even if there have been many options in dicussion, the studio
has decided to not produce a vinyl for the upcoming 'SCHÖNER!' exhibition,
as the studio is busy with numerous further projects. also it is not sure how
the edition piece can be offered successfully. the sound piece will be installed,
probably in combination with another sound work, but there will be no record edition.
please apologize.
recently
on display: in november 2018 the galerie treppenhaus in erlangen opened ‘hochhaus

it is our massive pleasure
to announce the release of 'collected riffing works', the fifth full length album
by record of tides. the album is quite surprisingly released once again by zany
music and and is distributed by achive.org as digital version only. the album
surprised in style, sound and composition, also there have been no promotion in
advance which is quite unusual for zany music.
'collected riffing works'
is a collection of ten tracks which have been produced over the period of the
past ten years which have been waiting to be released finally. as the title already
mentions, the album contains mainly guitar riffing based music focussing on the
rock music influences of record of tides. this release is actually no change in
style, sven is recently working on electronic and guitar based music.
some
heavy guitar sounds have also apperad already in the 2019 live performances, actually
none of them had been taken from 'collected riffing works'. however, record of
tides may appear live in january 2020 again. more soon.
'collected riffing
works' is now available via zany
music and distributed via archive.org.
back
in 2015 sven piayda was asked to do an online exhibition at gallerie tellerand,
a gelsenkirchen based online only gallery project. after being very sceptical
at first, the studio developed a show dealing with the issues of digital presentation
and reduced dimensions presented in disciplines like photography, cgi, video and
sound. the show was launched on november 1st 2015 and was extended to be shown
until january 2016, featuring introduction text and conversation with gallerist
michael em walter. the digital show vanished from the web and after the following
show the gallery quit business. now, the gallery has updated the achieves and
‘#howdeepisyourlove’ has returned to the digital screen, you experience the virtual
only show as it was drafted and presented back in 2015, see links below. also:

had been shown at the max ernst museum in brühl for the joseph und anna fassbender
award in 2018.
last
saturday record of tides performed at beats im bunker festival at medienbunker
marxloh in duisburg. the festival was curated by ray harms who has also performed
as raum für notizen. the line-up also featured artists and acts known from
the electric café events like ig-75, all notes off and jingoba
electric. record of tides performed a lot later and shorter than announced,
also the exclusively produced visuals did not appear as projection. we would like
to apologize for miscommunication and are recently discussing and considering
contexts of future performances. we would like to thank ray harms once again for
making this event possible by taking enormous effort in time and investment. there
are no further record of tides live dates scheduled recently, there are rumours
about returning to the line-up for the upcoming szeniale in 2021.
update
2020-02-10: we have added the live documentary using snippets delivered by
matthias danberg, a big thank you for filming and capturing some moments. you
can watch the video above or over at recordoftides.com.
the catalogue escorting the jahresschau gelsenkirchener künstlerinnen und künstler

2020-02-21: we have been very busy over the last weeks, actually without the
anticipated results. having a look at the schedule is not helpful at all. however,
we need a break to ged rid of the bad cold floating around and the numerous professional

it.) for the meantime, please be patient while waiting for answers on messages.

we have been waiting for
this announcement for quite a while now. record of tides aka sven piayda did some
live shows in 2019. fortunately, some of them have been recorded and are available
for free download now. in may record of tides played among miss j-by and lemon
& pilgrim at galerie der disziplinen in hamm for the electronica kulturnacht.
the performance had been recorded by dennis lemon via line and had been slightly
edited afterwards and is now available for download. the electric café open
air festival at werdener wiesn was not recorded unfortunately, the bootleg is
reconstructed by using parts of the used files combined with ambience. it actually
features the tracks performed plus an alternate ending, it does not cover all
the live sounds which have actually been played. therefore the bootleg is called
‘reconstructed & extended’.
unfortunately the show at szeniale has not
been recorded, it is believed to have been very similar to the performance in
hamm.
additionally zany music still offers the performance in eisenheim
for electric café in 2018. so zany music offers three quite different live performances
featuring microphone, line or reconstructed sound.
check zany music to find the bootlegs for download, further downloads and the
full zany music catalogue.

the performance had been recorded by dennis lemon via line and had been slightly
edited afterwards and is now available for download. the electric café open
air festival at werdener wiesn was not recorded unfortunately, the bootleg is
reconstructed by using parts of the used files combined with ambience. it actually
features the tracks performed plus an alternate ending, it does not cover all
the live sounds which have actually been played. therefore the bootleg is called
‘reconstructed & extended’.
unfortunately the show at szeniale has not
been recorded, it is believed to have been very similar to the performance in
hamm.
additionally zany music still offers the performance in eisenheim
for electric café in 2018. so zany music offers three quite different live performances
featuring microphone, line or reconstructed sound.
check zany music to find the bootlegs for download, further downloads and the
full zany music catalogue.
back
in 2015 sven piayda was asked to do an online exhibition at gallerie tellerand,
a gelsenkirchen based online only gallery project. after being very sceptical
at first, the studio developed a show dealing with the issues of digital presentation
and reduced dimensions presented in disciplines like photography, cgi, video and
sound. the show was launched on november 1st 2015 and was extended to be shown
until january 2016, featuring introduction text and conversation with gallerist
michael em walter. the digital show vanished from the web and after the following
show the gallery quit business. now, the gallery has updated the achieves and
‘#howdeepisyourlove’ has returned to the digital screen, you experience the virtual
only show as it was drafted and presented back in 2015, see links below. also:
‘four seasons after arcimboldo’ have been part oft he show, they are now on display
as postcard versions at galerie gublia in essen.
