com o andar de 2004 acabei entrando em experimentações mais profundas com samples e batidas, eventualmente combinando-os com melodias dissonantes e obsessivas. foi um dos anos musicalmente mais prolíficos da minha adolescência. graças a isso, finalmente pude sentir minha evolução como produtor em tempo real. antes daquele ano, todas as minhas músicas soavam iguais pra mim. depois daquele ano aprendi a me ouvir e a perceber que podia soar muito diferente de música pra música, sem nunca deixar de ser eu: talvez eu estivesse desenvolvendo um estilo?

Two one hour sound works inspired by and based on, and I quote: “the ominous feeling of winter, dark clouds, the fear of getting lost – and nesting somewhere that feels safe”.
Influences include the soundtracks of Petscop and Nier: Automata, Autechre, 7038634357, COIL, ‘Tomorrow, In A Year’ (The Knife, PlanningToRock, Mt. Sims) and a recurring nightmare.
Released on Mahorka June 17, 2024 as free (cc) digital download and limited double cassette edition.
Commissioned by Sanneke Kleingeld, one of Radio Tempo Não Pàra’s curators, for their ‘ik houd het nest warm’ radio program that aired on the 15th of December 2023.
TNP’s curator Kleingeld had heard an episode of Sounds Between Here and Nowhere (a radioshow by Luca Heydt and Mees Joachim) on Big Toilet Radio and proceeded to discover the artist’s Paradise Mixes made for the 2023 Birds of Paradise exhibition – which featured many unreleased tracks made under Mees Joachim’s Joachim Stiller, Absolute Candor and Zalmroze monikers – and proceeded to commission the artist to create a special mix for the radio station.
The sound work began to live a life on its own – becoming a sound collage of self-sampled unreleased works and new recordings centered around, but not limited to, synthesized sound.
As a fairly ambient / new age sound was warranted for the occasion, Mees Joachim took on their Joachim Stiller moniker to create two entirely original 1 hour sound works, with ‘Radiophonic Sound bath #2’ being the selected piece to be aired on Radio TNP.
The Stiller moniker has been around for a while, albeit used for art / karaoke performances, installations and video works prior to 2023, when it was first used for a music release: ‘And The Overstaying of Welcomes’ in collaboration with Absolute Candor.
Joachim Stiller’s debut album, ‘In Shallow Water’, was released by Bad Boy Jesus Tape Club in April 2024. With these two sound works, released on Mahorka in May 2024, expanding the sound of Joachim Stiller even further.
Credits:
Performed, Produced, Recorded, Mixed, Mastered, etc. by Mees Joachim as Joachim Stiller in 2023, with some recordings dating back to 2021.

Como “composiciones intensivas” define Valentina Maza las piezas que componen su más reciente disco. “Busco espacio” es un trabajo solista ideado, interpretado y registrado en vivo durante tres semanas de residencia artística en el Centro GAM, de acuerdo a un proceso creativo a tiempo real.
Tres piezas electroacústicas y dos remezclas proponen a quien escucha reflexionar de cuántas formas se puede “hacer espacio” a través del sonido, pues la música ocupa tiempo, cuerpo, equipamiento, decisiones. “Esa idea fue dando lugar a un sistema híbrido de grabación y a una música que casi no tuvo edición posterior. Son piezas que no quise cortar ni maquillar, en el sentido de que me abstuve de muchos efectos, y dejé un sonido más de cámara”, describe Valentina.
La creadora combina su trabajo con máquinas y viola, como instrumentos principales, con el uso de su voz “como gesto performático, para marcar ciertos momentos. Como sucede cuando se cantan canciones de cuna”, en sus palabras. Puede escucharse como una invitación a insertarse en un ritmo alternativo al del ajetreo urbano, más íntimo y atemporal. En ese “busco espacio” del título hay, en realidad, la creación de un entorno sonoro nuevo.
Valentina Maza defines the pieces that comprise her latest album as “intensive compositions”. “Busco espacio” (Searching for Space) is a solo work, conceived, performed, and recorded live during three weeks of artistic residency at Centro GAM, and arising from a real-time creative process.
Three electroacoustic pieces and two remixes invite listeners to reflect on the myriad ways one can “make space” through sound, as music occupies time, body, equipment, and decisions. “That idea led to a hybrid system or recording and music that had almost no post-editing. These are pieces that I didn’t want to cut or manipulate much, in the sense that I refrained from using many effects, and left a more chamber-like sound” , describes Valentina.
The creator bring her work together with machines and viola as the principal instruments, using her voice “as a performative gesture, to mark certain moments. Like when lullabies are sung”, in her words. It can be heard as an invitation to immerse oneself in an alternative rhythm to that of the urban hustle, at once more intimate and timeless. In the “searching for space” of the title, there is, in reality, the creation of a new sonic environment.

During the days between the 19th and 24th June 2023, Christoph Ogiermann, composer, performer, painter gives a workshop at the John Cage Haus in Halberstadt, Germany, on performing ideas derived by John Cage and the I-Ching. In the group of participants, Mattia Bonafini performs also with a No-Input Mixing Board configuration in duo with Christoph, aka Crog, on the violin.
On the 25th, they decided to play together in the main Hall of the J. C. Haus:
they placed a handheld recorder and performed for themselves.
The recording was mixed and mastered by Mattia Bonafini; they decided to propose this material to attenuation circuit and Vykintas Baltakas.
The name CROMB is the mixture of ChRistophOGiermann + MattiaBonafini.
The drawings on the cover are CROG’s creations.
Cover made by Mattia Bonafini.
Calls can be quite substantive – but they can also be fluffy. Though perhaps enabling some form of connection, little information is shared on a fluffy call – and possible miscommunications can occur. If it’s just a fluffy call, please feel free to be excused.
Featuring strings, synthesizer, percussion, electric bass, telephones, and effects.

What if an oboe offered a pitch to an empty orchestra? Unmoored from expectation, the stalwart A440 becomes trenchant and reverberant. Within each single note, there is a boundless realm to explore.

Matt and Dave named their project Felsteg, which is Swedish for misstep. And this is certainly not due to a lack of conviction in their shared musical work. Rather, and on the contrary, the name describes their approach to music quite well for me. On “Hold” you can hear two experienced live musicians who consciously decide to “misstep” when playing. Misstep as an opportunity!
The music on the album was created live and spontaneously. Starting with rudimentary song ideas, they played sessions together in which improvisation became the means to flesh out the basic ideas. At the same time, these sessions were professionally recorded on multiple tracks in the studio, then supplemented with additional elements and mixed at the end.
On their debut album, Matt and Dave managed to create songs that, despite all their complexity and jazz affinity, are characterized by a pleasant lightness and catchiness, even naturalness.
