SUB-13 • NADJA - Ruins of Morning
RUINS OF MORNING shows NADJA in a very experimental & dark poetic mood. Their
contribution for the "Substantia Innominata"-series (dealing with / drawing inspiration from the"Unknown", "Unnameable" or "Not-Knowable") comes in two long parts based around one
musical theme that appears again and again (a great dark harmonic phrase moving throughdifferent levels through this epic track), linked by very beautiful drone-sections & more noisy
outbursts. Song-orientation and a more experimental sound-art approach are thus combined
perfectly. The phantastic lyrics from Aidan Baker point in a very poetic way to an utopian newmorning where material values play no role anymore, but a new state of sensual being issettled in an almost J.G.BALLARDian way, when perceptions of the environment (sky, lights,sun) and the beloved (eyes & skin) fall into one. Or is this a nocturnal boundless dreamphantasy? The wish / fear to return to mothers womb, a state where everything is one (one is all) again? These lyrics
open up a scope of vague possible interpretations witch match up perfectly with the impressing music; a music that
describes "The Unknown" in strong metaphors of surrealistic psychic states of being.
Experience the avantgardish drone-metal duo at their most dark & beautiful and on their very first 10" ! Editionof 500 copies on GOLDen vinyl, fantastic artwork by Marcin Lojek (ibsendesign.pl). One track in two very longparts, playtime 40+ minutes!!

SUB-12 • KALLABRIS - Music for very Simple Objects
Maybe the most mysterious & thought-provoking German experimental project withrecordings derived from field recordings so bizarre it's difficult to find any words for
it! his work features very short sequences of concrete sounds, arranged in a
structural and temporal way that the "known reality" is placed in a new frame &context, thus making it possible that the world behind may become "visible" throughour acoustic senses. What is usually familiar is suspended in order to make newexperiences. The used acoustic elements have been configured in a certain causal
formation which is not consciously perceivable within the phenomenal order. Thephenomenon hides the principle & substance of the sound-pieces.
