2022-12-27 2022 synopsis: past, present and future

the last year has been a great one, fortunately we can look back on art shows, releases, collaborations, live performances and new productions. kunstwerden and sven piayda have finally opened the ‘needle in the multiverse’ solo show. the exhibition gained expected success and turned out to be functional from a technical and an aesthetical point of view. after three years of preparation the studio has announced to not focus an a new solo show concept in the near future. next to this solo show it was great to see ‘slinky spings dune’ at kunsthaus essen for ‘HOME (call the curator)’ and ‘model: 1989 ford probe (car#1) after christopher williams’ at galerie an der ruhr. at the end of the year piayda´s music video for record of tides called ‘illumination interlude’ was and the lisaluna shortfilm festival as announced and postponed in 2021. in 2022 sven piayda collaborated with a number of outstanding artists, all of these collaborations appear to be continued. together with jan-dirk platek the remarkable mini ep ‘expotential/frequentism’ was released, platek and piayda are rexently working on a follow-up. christopher terhart appeard as monkelmann on record of tides ‘penicilina’ album on the track ‘vorwegnahme’. terhard is recently finishing his experimental short movie ‘kaivalya’ which will feature music by sven piayda based upon beatless tracks from the purchases series. dean heuke released as prjct fear his debut album. it also features the collaborative ‘fly away song’ which can also be found on the collaborative compilation album ‘songbook’, it is also believed to be part of record of tides’ upcoming album. michael schreiber a.k.a. primals scapes has released his second album ‘macrocosm’ featuring sven piayda on guitar for all tracks. their on-going collaborations for different projects appear to legendary productive and easy. without any fixed plans, we can expect future collaborative projects. the studio has struck up a new collaboration with english interdisciplinary artist and producer phil barnett. back in 2008 barnett was producing nature inspired and adaptive electronica as squinancywort, so he and AESTATE started swapping remixes which have been released on ‘patch’, which is still available from zany music. now barnett and piayda are working on a visual collaboration to merge nature and technology. the picture above is a reinterpretation of their portraits as delivered by phil barnett himself. he hope for the common visual piece to be finished in early 2023. the studio is recently working on a large portfolio update for 2023. also long-term projects like the ‘little dancer of fourteen years (posing/refusing)’ video piece and further drafted works are supposed to be finished and offered for exhibition. studio.svenpiayda.com the studio focuses on ZEITENWENDE at forum kunst und architektur in essen showing the new video piece ’the impossibility to take pictures of the present’. the studio has not scheduled any shows beyond but has announced to finally finish long term productions. zany music has released two albums as part of the ‘purchases’ series called ‘panamerican’ and ‘penicilina’. both appear remarkably different, electronic, organic and full of surprises. according to rumours at zany music, one or more albums are expected to be added to the series. also the ‘collected riffing works’ series got sequel. it is hard to believe that there will not be more, even if nothing is on schedule. you may take the jams labelled as ‘connected riffing jerks’ as expansion of the album series. next to these two series, further album releases are possible, as the official site lists finished but unreleased albums. recordoftides.com it is our massive pleasure to announce the release of ‘songbook’, a 16 track compilation album to be out on zany music and distributed via bandcamp in digital formats on november 25, 2022. ‘songbook’ is a collection of features, vocal based and song structured or underrated single tracks, coming up in new context, previously unreleased or finally re-mastered, all produced between 2004 and 2022. this album is a once in a lifetime piece, somewhere between art and pop. it combines very different production methods, styles and sounds, nevertheless it works great as an album. zany music calls it path into the record of tides universe, retrospective and roller coaster ride. ‘songbook’ features collaborations with stunning musicians, writers and producers such as all notes off, samuel taylor coleridge, cosima & monkelmann, don scriba jr., mabel e. hicast, kill scrxxn, jan-dirk platek, primal scapes, prjct fear, sven and dirk wienecke. ‘songbook’ on bandcamp recently, the compilation album turned out to be record of tides´s commercially most successful album in a digital format so far. zany music promises to reinvest profits in collaborating artists and future productions. next numerous electronic productions piayda has ben involved into song oriented projects: as already mentioned piayda played guitar for michael schreiber´s primal scapes project and helped to create an outstanding synth rock album. sven piayda studio is proud to have collaborated with michael schreiber again for the artwork of his second solo album as primal scapes entitled ‘macrocosm’. the imagery is based upon a series of generative images entitled ‘random chaos’ based upon schreiber´s pixel randomizer transferred into a cgi rendered surface. the series was produced and added to the portfolio in 2020 but has not be exhibited since. the artwork features a rendering of all three works of the series processed into one image. on december 16 michael schreiber streamed the album and did a q&a live on youtube escorded by collaborators andreas hilburg and sven piayda. via this event the album was released physically on compact disc and digitally distributed via bandcamp. next to primal scapes second album, piayda teamed up with the primal scapes rhythm section to for architects of utter destruction and released the debut album ‘monument’. as this is another on/off long-term project, we hope to get a follow-up album next year as drummer jan van aachen already announced to have finished a bunch of tracks to be recorded by the rest of the band. the music is believed to be finished, recordings are delayed by piayda´s struggle with writing lyrics and setting up the equipment. zanymusic.recordoftides.com jan-dirk platek x record of tides will release their follow-up to the remarkable mini ep

working on this project for over three years now and has updated the show with a 2022 video piece and a transparent vinyl record. during the lockdown certain sneak peeks have already been posted via news and journal. sven piayda has mentioned that this might be his last solo show, as the studio will focus on group show participations and looking for enhanced ways of presentation. the press text states a following: in his solo exhibition for kunstwerden sven piayda combines photography, video, cgi, found footage, multiples, 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 nine years quote nasa's probe missions, de saussure's linguistic models, leonardo da vinci's landscapes, beethoven’s unfinished 10th symphony 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, an artist talk is scheduled for october 23. further dates to be announced. all info at the bottom of this post. also check the facebook event 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. the show will also feature ‘future perfect

photographic tableaus, the memory game and the vinyl. perfect lighting and and benches to watch the videos have been added. update 2022-09-07: the sound piece ‘birds of the zeeland woods’ has finally been added to the portfolio. the piece was already featured in the 2021 sound installation ‘abyss’ and can now be listened to in a mashed-up version within the ‘needle in the multiverse soundtrack’ to be played in the exhibition. as usually the sound piece is represented by a black and white cover, this time it is based on generated material using artificial intelligence with heavy processing

The piece has already been on display at kunstmuseum mülhein in 2021 and at galerie an der ruhr in 2020 – here the record was presented on a player to explore the sound.

is given an experimental format, which in its basic orientation deals with aesthetic criteria, curatorial models and communication channels of exhibition projects. the initiator of the project, denis bury, is interested in a theoretical examination of questions that determine the activity of a curator, for example in the selection of artistic positions, exhibition exhibits and the staging of spaces. furthermore, themes are to be negotiated practically within the framework of the project, i.e. communicated and discussed between the artists and the responsible curator and tested together through practical implementation. the realisation of this experimental process is initiated by a public call for entries, which invites artists with a connection to the metropole ruhr to contribute their own work to the exhibition. the kunsthaus essen has made one of its exhibition rooms in the gallery area available as the exhibition venue for this project. the imperative character of the exhibition title - call the curator - signals to the artists participating in the project that a curator can be contacted and consulted for questions about the choice of work, the placement of the artistic work in the space or the correspondence or proximity with other works. it is this impulse for interaction that gives the project its experimental status. artists and curator decide in a collective exchange process on the possible whereabouts of the works within the exhibition. this interactive and communicative process will be documented - as far as possible - by acoustic recordings of conversations. in addition, photographs taken by the artists showing the exhibition space or the wall before and after the installation of their work will visually record which spatial placement options come into question for their works. accordingly, the aim of the experimental exhibition format is not merely to set up a coherent exhibition space, but to discuss basic curatorial questions and principles together and thus also to creatively question curatorial fields of action and limit them to individual decision-making competences. unlike in a ‘classically’ curated exhibition, in "call the curator" the decision on the realisation of fundamental exhibition principles is not in the hands of a single curatorially legitimised personality, but it is in concrete, binding relation to group-dynamic decision-making processes, which are determined by the art producers involved in the exhibition project in interaction with the curator. all info at the bottom of this post. based upon experience with the billboard exhibition entitled ‘ansehBar’, toronto and essen based artist nancy e.watt and sven piayda discussed and drafted putting a video piece on a digital billboard for the szeniale ´21 which was then postponed to szeniale ´22. it took some weeks to decide on a piece which would fit into the place and conceptual context, ‘mountain top’ (2021) was chosen to be screened as visualized in the digital sketch above. these preparations were done back in the end of 2020. now, two months ahead of the upcoming szeniale festival, nancy e.watt has already quit working as curator for the szeniale festival and it turned out to be impossible to show a certain video piece for a short period at a certain place. even if alternative exhibition modalities had been offered, the studio decided to withdraw from contributing an artwork to the festival. nevertheless, sven piayda will be part of the szeniale to take place on august 20, 2022. more soon. we are happy to tell you the zany music has reissued the eps escorting the purchases album as vinyl versions: the ‘gimmicks ep’ and the ‘the biggest trick ep’ are available as white label vinyl cuts with artwork stickers. as they feature the music on only one side, both contain hidden tracks on the b-side. the tracklists and running times (not listed on labels) are as following: ‘the biggest trick’ vinyl ep A1 she was sent (4.12) A2 rope (3.50) A3 fields (edit) (1.08) A4 everything she says (3.02) ‘gimmicks’ vinyl ep A1 la vie pendant la pandemie feat. mabel e. hicast (4.14) A2 farewell fires (alternative version) feat. primal scapes (2.29) A3 woman experts (edit) (1.09) A4 beats over rags (4.00) the vinyl reissues are limited and are expected to be sold out quickly, we hope to offer them also as merch at the upcoming hdj set at consol. in stock copies can be ordered via bandcamp. it is our massive pleasure to finally announce the release of 'collected riffing works 2', the long awaited follow-up album of 'collected riffing works’ (2019) expanding the CRW series by record of tides. the album is quite surprisingly released once again by zany music and is distributed by bandcamp in multiple digital formats. the album surprises in style, sound and composition once again as it focuses on post rock instead of idm and post hip-hop. also there has been no promotion in advance which is quite unusual for zany music.

(see music.fandom.com/wiki/Digital_Kunstrasen) when piayda offered the album to label head meik puppe, it took less than the album length to decide on releasing it (according to reports). when kempka and puppe decided to quite, piayda expressed his disappointment via journal, see 2014-01-27 digital kunstrasen quits releasing | entry by sven. eight years later, the blog post still appears relevant. dealing with the on-going humanitarian disaster in ukraine, providence (rhode island, usa) based label component recordings releases a compilation featuring artists from all around the world in the genres of electronic music, experimental, ambient, industrial, techno and related styles. the call was initiated by the musicians from snowbeasts (elizabeth virosa and robert galbraith from providence, usa) and kai niggemann (cologne, germany). they have received hundreds of submissions from over 27 countries, from all over the world, selected, grouped and assembled an album that is an intense sonic journey through many different styles of electronic music. there are nearly 200 tracks of amazing quality on this album, making this one of the longest albums ever released on bandcamp. visual artists noah g hirka designed the artwork for this album. all proceeds from the sale of this compilation will be split evenly between the charities vostok sos and the ukrainian red cross. ‘for peace. against war. who is not?’ is a compilation by hundreds of electronic music artists from all over the world to raise money and awareness for the humanitarian disaster caused by the russian war on ukraine. we united to ty to help using what we know best: our music and art. support this compilation now by buying it on bandcamp (feel free to add as much of a donation as you can afford). 100% of the proceeds go directly to vostok sos and the red cross ukraine. enjoy the music, and please spread the word!

[…] there is an amazing momentum that all of you are making happen through social media and your mailing lists. — component recordings sale progression report update 2022-03-17: the ukraine charity compilation already raised $5000 and it is still selling. the compilation also appears in bandcamp´s category rankings, it is #4 in electronic, #2 in experimental and #1 in techno and industrial. cdm writes: as far as i know, the largest international compilation has been ‘for peace. against war. who is not? a compilation for the people of ukraine’. it feels like a landmark musical moment – at once, resisting putin’s aggression and supporting ukrainian freedom, and also reviving universal antiwar messages. none other than wolfgang flür of kraftwerk opens with a new antiwar anthem to the whole planet, “say no”. other names join, including stephen mallinder (cabaret voltaire), scanner, die angel (with ilpo väisänen of pan sonic fame), schneider tm, joasihno (cico beck of the notwist), mia zabelka, and dead voices on air. but i also see a lot of names from around the world and from more experimental corners, including friends who have been stalwart opponents of oppression elsewhere. that is to say, this is not limited to people who have just become politically active for ukraine. i contributed a track there, too, a new one that for me connects to how i feel. thanks to organizers snowbeasts (elizabeth virosa & robert galbraith) and kai niggemann. vostok sos and ukrainian red cross are the beneficiaries, and the financial response was overwhelming even in the first few hours. cdm.link/2022/03/cries-and-pleas-expressed-in-music-in-expansive-benefit-compilations-for-and-by-ukraine update 2022-03-19: today, saturday, march 19, the first sum of money is supposed to be donated. the last reported amount was $5600, we estimate it for today up to about $6000 to be split and donated. more info soon. update 2022-03-21: up to now the compilation havs received $7402 in donations.

2022-01-28 new record of tides album ‘panamerican’ out now

without any announcement in advance and definitely surprising zany music has released the new record of tides album ‘panamerican’ as distributed via bandcamp. the album features 14 tracks pandering between different styles and production methods in electronic music. the album was not mentioned but was already produced in november and december 2021. after collaborative releases with jan-dirk platek and primal scapes as well as numerous features ‘panamerican’ is the legit solo follow up to ‘purchases’. ‘panamerican’ comes as follow-up to the critics´ favourite masterpiece album ‘purchases’ and its escorting ep series. once again piayda layers synths and samples over changing beats delivering a contemporary post hip-hop variation, but things are quite different this time. fulfilling the teasers of ‘battery ep’ the new album for 2022 takes up the multiply remixed drum ‘n’ base hit ‘concrete walls of gruga’. this time it appears calm and slow while being as complex as usually. low end downbeats alternate with wurlitzer rhythms, jazzy drums as well as cold idm beats. record of tides peers into the future as usually but has one foot in the good old american days. this mix of influences, styles and sounds may sound strange and ambiguous as draft but merges perfectly in generating one of his most poppy albums. this is an elaborated late work and gateway offer as well. in all of its friendly complexness ‘panamerican’ is the parting of ways by stringing the possibilities. where can you go from here? (press release) written, produced and performed by sven piayda mastered by michael schreiber artwork by sven piayda distributed by bandcamp and cool record stores recordoftides.bandcamp.com/album/panamerican zanymusic.recordoftides.com recordoftides.bandcamp.com recordoftides.com update 2022-01-29: zany music has been putting out music since 1995 in altering editions and formats among tape, compact disc and even vinyl. even after ignoring the trend of digital releases zany music also put out music available digitally only. it is still surprising how versatile and comfortable it is: grischo schlüsi sent a picture of his smart watch streaming the ‘panamerican’ album. fortunately, he has also sent his approval. zanymusic.recordoftides.com update 2022-01-29: please check out the new review on ‘panamerican’ by thierry massard on nocovision and the new review on ‘purchases’ by daniel dreßler on unter.ton | magazin für klang- und subkultur. collected reviews update 2022-01-31: this friday, february 4, will be the return of bandcamp friday. on bandcamp fridays, an average of 93% of your money reaches the artist/label (after payment processor fees). when you make a purchase on any other day of the month an average of 82% reaches the artist/label. so if you are considering to purchase music form record of tides or any other release from zany music, bandcamp friday is the day to go ahead. you are always making a great deal, you´ll get /CAMP access as may receive further goodies and releases. recordoftides.bandcamp.com zanymusic.bandcamp.com never miss a bandcamp friday: isitbandcampfriday.com update 2022-02-03: above you see two graphs documenting the performance of record of tides on bandcamp since joining in autumn 2020 counting the plays and not the sales. we are not delivering any numbers here. as you can see in the upper one, the attention is following waves placing the peeks around new releases. the trend appears to be downward considering the one and a half year performance. looking at the last months you can see ‘panamerican’ performing well by creating a high peek and a quick fall-off. we hope for some more long-lasting success. however, download ‘panamerican’ on bandcamp friday, february 4, and get the ‘purchases’ album (mp3 bundle) in addition as bonus item. recordoftides.bandcamp.com zanymusic.bandcamp.com never miss a bandcamp friday: isitbandcampfriday.com update 2022-02-06: we did a lot of advertising for bandcamp friday as you might have realized within the last days. if this was helpful in any way is not easy to say but we are happy that sales have happened that day, especially by customers who are not listed because of not being logged in to the bc network. however, after one and a half years on bandcamp, zany music is still not making remarkable profits. nevertheless, the (digital reissue of the) debut album (2007) by AESTATE is the commercially most successful zany music album recently. recordoftides.bandcamp.com zanymusic.bandcamp.com never miss a bandcamp friday: isitbandcampfriday.com even if we are still waiting for the announcement of the final dates of the piayda solo exhibition at kunst.werden entitled ‘needle in the multiverse’ we are happy that work is on display anyway. the ruhr gallery in mülheim an der ruhr will open their first group exhibition for 2022 called ‘(es lebe die) freiheit’ as curated by klaus wiesel. the exhibition will feature piayda´s cgi tableau ‘model: 1989 ford probe (car#1) after christopher williams’. the studio announces a statement escorting the work: in recent days and especially within the pandemic and its restrictions the term ‘freedom’ has been used by different groups using different definitions and intentions. even if the tableau has been created within the context of adaptation, the show offers a new context and possibilities for interpretation: a picture of a car turned over may remind of street riots while the protest hits the uninvolved. the original context of adaptation refers to intellectual freedom: the opportunity to use the work, result and finding of experts to hand on to tradition and culture for a growing society. apart from your preferred direction in interpretation you may get aware that the term ‘freedom’ is used by different parties believing to know its meaning and to do the right thing in the same way as contrastive interpretations can be right. the original catalogue text states: 'model: 1989 ford probe (car#1) after christopher williams' refers to 'model: 1964 renault dauphine-four (car#1 )' by christopher williams. his renault was replaced by a ford probe, which is an autobiographical reference. since williams himself likes to use stock footage, the principle of appropriating image motifs is exaggerated here. the show will open on sunday, february 27 at 4 pm and will be on display for about one month and close on april 3. jan-dirk platek a.k.a. we deserve this and sven piayda have collaborated for an outstanding two-track release. the digital only double single jan-dirk platek x record of tides ‘expotential / frequentism’ is out today,
