2022-06-20 'slinky springs dune' on display at kunsthaus essen

we are surprised to announce sven piayda´s participation in the current group show at kunsthaus essen entitled HOME! (call the curator) as curated by denis bury. the studio contributed the previously not exhibited 2019 tableau ‘slinky springs dune’ which was already produced for the 2021 group show ‘wow! - made in ob’ at ludwiggalerie schloss oberhausen which presented ‘twisted ring’ (2019) instead. HOME! (call the curator) is a growing exhibition running until july 10, 2022. a date for an upcoming finissage is supposed to be announced. curator denis bury states on ‘slinky springs dune’: it pulls you in, but pretends to be unremarkable. and then you can't get out. you may like to check the exhibitions section for more installation views documenting the works available last weekend. sven piayda and the studio would like to thank havva ayvalik, christoph hildebrand and curator denis bury. find out about the exhibition concept as released by kunsthaus essen: with the five-part exhibition and project series HOME! at kunsthaus essen, the ‘metropole ruhr’ is discussed as a storehouse of knowledge and production site for artistic work. in each chapter, various coordinates and references are called up, taking into account certain focal points. the kunsthaus essen functions as a connecting basis in its capacity as exhibition venue, research module and signpost for possible axes of vision that allow a new perception of regionally located art production.parallel to the exhibitions in the kunsthaus, imaginary paths through the ruhr region are marked out for the visitor's own exploration, leading, among other things, to art in public spaces, historical cultural assets and selected collections of the region. with the project ‘call the curator’, the exhibition series HOME! 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. 'collected riffing works 2' is a collection of ten tracks which have been produced over the period of the past 15 years which have been waiting to be released since spring 2020. as the title already mentions, the album contains mainly guitar riffing based music focussing on the rock music influences of record of tides. the track ‘sanctuarium’ even features sebastian flamma as co-producer.

2022-03-25 zany music re-releases penrose delta [redux] debut album

we are extremely pleased to announce the redux re-release of ‘space of entire retreat’, the debut and only album by penrose delta. the album was originally released on march 20, 2012 on digital kunstrasen as mp3 bundle. after digital kunstrasen closed in 2014 the album vanished from the net in 2015. now there is a second chance for a first impression: zany music brings the album back ten years later as redux version in different digital formats. ‘space of entire retreat’ now contains a brighter cover without lettering, edits on particular songs, a new track order and a new microsite. here you can also watch the videos for ‘blossom’, 'you breath underwater’ and ‘high times’. the re-release was originally scheduled for march 18 but it was postponed for one week in order to advertise the component recordings vostok sos/red cross ukraine charity compilation. the band was started as a side project from AESTATE and formed by piayda and huff with support by rockenfield. there have been songs written and pre-produced for a follow-up album, but it has never been finished. some of these songs are believed to be found on ‘monument’ by architects of utter destruction. ‘space of entire retreat’ can be seen as legit follow up album to the last sven solo album ‘the senary process’ while it is obviously not part of the series. back in 2012 piayda announced to have started the project to withdraw from the omnipresence of social media and messages. the title is inspired by georg winter´s sculpture ‘space of total retreat’ as presented at museum folkwang for ‘hacking the city’ in 2010. penrose delta ‘space of entire retreat [redux]’ is out on zany music and distributed via bandcamp penrosedelta.aestate-online.com the aim of digital kunstrasen was the non commercial publishing of all kinds of arts, such as music or lyrical texts. the decision about the released depended on the quality of the single releases as well as the personal taste of the label operators [thomas kempka and meik puppe]. this label was more involved music and so up to now, there were more than 120 musical releases [among AESTATE, penrose delta and renert trio] since 2005. since july 2007, the label published a magazin that was scheduled to come out each two months as pdf file. all releases were licensed under creative commons license cc by-nc 3.0. in 2014, both label manager decided to quit this label and offer no new releases anymore. all previous released were available until 2015. kempka and puppe announced that the internet changed and ‘creative people from all kinds of music and arts have the possibility to present them online’. when the netlabel was founded, platforms like bandcamp or soundcloud did not exist yet. due to the fact about platforms like myspace, bandcamp and other, ‘netlabel are not needed anymore’. (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. the first payments have gone to vostok vos and the ukrainian red cross for $2794 each and additional funds will be sent when they are transferred from bandcamp. the response have been incredible with many people donating well over the $12 asking price with numerous donations of $50 and $100. there has been one generous person donating $200. the label wants to thank the people who have been sharing and promoting the project and making this all happen. the ruhr gallery in mülheim an der ruhr shows their first group exhibition for 2022 called ‘(es lebe die) freiheit’ as curated by klaus wiesel. the exhibition features 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. sven piayda is not expected to be present for the opening, further dates escorting the exhibition may be announced. the current exhibition ‘(es lebe die) freiheit’ at ruhr gallery was originally curated without context or in an assumed context of a society discussing pandemic-based restrictions. as the war on ukraine has surprised all of us the gallery is now also expressing solidarity and the show can and must be seen with this new political context. the studio supports the show and solidarity but announced to had offered a different work within this new war context. please consider this fact while attending the show. we are extremely pleased to announce the release of ‘monument’, the debut album of architects of utter destruction. zany music already put out the single ‘and’ on january 1st without any information in advance, it was appropriately labelled as 'first song in a decade' on the bandcamp site. the album features eight songs among an album version of ‘and’ and was recorded in summer 2021 after finishing the digital reissues of sven recordings. after numerous electronic productions and inspired by listening to the old songs piayda wanted to check his song writing skills. to record these new songs he formed architects of utter destruction with chris huff (AESTATE, penrose delta, primal scapes) on bass and jan van aachen (primal scapes) on drums. the band´s sound might be a little more rough and heavy compared to previous recordings. all members are recently working on other projects (especially the next primal scapes album), live dates or further releases are unlikely recently. piayda announced to have some songs which might appear on a future album. in context of on-going events it does not feel good to promote a release, there will be no promotion apart from this site and the bandcamp site. zany music has scheduled this release date for months.

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.
