it is our massive pleasure to announce the upcoming release of 'black album', the sixth full length album by record of tides. the album will be put out once again by the hamburg based netlabel kreislauf.org and will be available digitally and for free on april 24, 2020. 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 will feature 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. (piayda has called them ‘horror vacui beats’ in a forum.) tracks like ‘snow_1-7_140’ and ‘cereal reduction’ have been released already via ‘granada interface ep’ on vinyl and dvd back in 2017. 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. ‘black album’ will be available on april 24, 2020 via kreislauf.org and contributed via archive.org and sonicsquirrel.net. recently, no live dates, listening events or online activities are scheduled. sven is recently back in studio to finish long time projects as ‘yellowcake’ and ‘collected riffing works 2’. also a series of live bootlegs (some even reconstructed and/or extended) are supposed to be released. within the art studio piayda is continuing work on the ‘multiverse’ show (no fixed date yet). recordoftides.com 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. you may also like to read michael schreiber´s review on 'endurance': very nice - the drum sounds with a touch of ‘visage’ sound but a little fatter in combination with an interesting flow through the track. [...] enjoyed listening to some very 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 track and ‘care’ has a sweet flow between the fat drum/percussion line and the melody/bass harmony. a great start into the weekend while listening with a fresh cup of coffee. 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 out about michael schreiber and his project all notes off over at all-note-off.de 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. instagram.com/svenpiayda 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

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

2020-03-12 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. galerie-an-der-ruhr.de studio.svenpiayda.com more info at the bottom of this post. 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. studio.svenpiayda.com 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. 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! 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…) 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 now which is supposed to be released via /CAMP soon. it features quite popular, rare and less known hip hop related music which is merged into a full set. when the mixtape (available as mp3) will be downloadable in the /CAMP, you will find out here first. /CAMP our friend and collaborator karla köhler will open her 2020 solo show at edel extra, nürnberg on april 22. next to making her production process transparent she will also offer a workshop. the show will also 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.
