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.

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.
the podcast is available on common platforms and can be found directly over at skeleton-crew.de/na017. you will find all episodes of ‘natürliche ausrede’ over at skeleton-crew.de/na and anchor.fm/natuerlicheausrede.
also you can listen to the episodes on youtube.
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.

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.

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.

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.
