The artists that coincide
here, share a rapture for
an experimental approach
to sound. Genre boundaries
are irrelevant.

The Duo Ludwig Wittbrodt, that‘s Emily Wittbrodt on cello and Edis Ludwig on laptop and drums. The two develop a thicket of sounds and melodies that absorbs us in a completely unpretentious way and fills us with associations and warmth. We are reminded of the achievements of both Krautrock and Neue Musik, of early electronic music as well as Drone and Ambient.

The composer, percussionist and instrument builder Limpe Fuchs has spent six decades exploring the outer limits of sound and its effects on the listener. Born in Munich in 1941, Fuchs is part of a generation of German artists who sought radical new approaches to art, music and social organisation in the period following the Second World War.

Fifth solo album from saxophonist Julius Gabriel. Born out of new sounds and rhythms that the musician discovered during the pandemic, Tales From The Subterranean embodies a blend of primal energy and inventive exploration across twelve tracks. The opener Time Riding sets the mood, a tearing rhythm that sounds like a frenetic tap dance. It invites you to move and when you get to “Footworks” you are all set up, merging saxophone finger percussion with a continuous siren whisper emanating from the instrument, provoking euphoria, fear and satisfaction all at once.

Moving on, you start to understand the sense of discovery behind the record and the needs Julius had, like to construct a saxophone with drone capabilities and closer to an idea of natural sound. Hailing From The Mountains has a meditative tone; Westward At Sundown feels like a ballad. Born from darkness yet radiating with newfound light, Tales from the Subterranean stands as a testament to the resilience of artistic expression. It is primal music. The Album is released in cooperation with Lovers & Lollypops (Portugal)
