the original motion picture soundtrack by sven piayda will be released on april 19 on zany music and will be available via.
this soundtrack is the first album sven piayda releases under his real name.

terhart states on piayda´s music: it's quite interesting with his pieces.
when you first hear them, they often seem too abstract and confusing.
the more you get into it, the more it works.


the premiere of the full movie is scheduled for april 18, 2024 at südbahnhof in krefeld, germany.
the evening will be hosted by christopher terhart giving an introduction to the scheduled films.
terhart has also announced to additionally show a pre-program featuring some minutes of older projects.
on terhart’s invitation two further movies by independent directors will be shown next to 'kaivalya':
the screening will start with 'to smile or not to smile' by bashar al murabea.
it is about a man who cannot reveal his feelings but after a stranger gives him a pill to help him do so his life takes a different direction.
it will followed by video artist robin moedder´s 'change'. it explores on-going processes of climate and the environment,
from the innocent beginning to the apocalyptic end.
robin moedder is also known for having directed record of tides´ 'deep cruise' music video.

back in 2023 christopher terhart already directed the promotional video for the track 'camp finals'
from record of tides’ 'pieces upon pieces' album. the video features scenes from the 'kaivaliya' movie,
the track appears in the movie as well as beatless version.




terhart and piayda have already collaborated on 'penicilina' by record of tides.
the track 'vorwegnahme' was originally produced by terhart a.k.a. monkelmann,
piayda turned the track into a longer and more complex version also featuring an acoustic guitar solo.
the spoken work part written by monkelmann adapts a found text based upon conspiracy theories.
by reinterpreting and translating it into german language it is turned it into a positive prophecy.
christopher terhart is also known as visual artist mostly known for great infrared photography.

it is our massive pleasure to announce the release of
record of tides´ long-awaited 'playground magrathea' album via zany music on february 9, 2024.
the album was already finished in 2023 and mainly inspired by the district of froho.
'playground magrathea' is the fifth album of the 'purchases' series,
the album is supposed to be the legit follow-up to 'pieces upon pieces' (2023) while using sample-based post-hiphop and idm production.

it contains already known tracks like 'hyperbowl' and 'easy shredding through the days'.
the videos for these tracks as well as the album artwork is (co-)created by long-term collaborator chris huff.
the album also features 'free (alternaitve version)' feat. jan-dirk platek
and was originally produced back in 2022 for their common ep 'boxes',
here the track is finally presented in a record of tides album context as alternative, maybe even better version.

the album will be available digitally only.

sven already wrote in his blog that he is working on a new album after the upcoming one:
more or less accidently I started a new record of tides album and have already finished 12 tracks already.
it just happens when I hang out with different laptops on the couch,
layering samples to a weird post-whatever sound. it just happens.

also we are delighted to tell that michael schreiber announced to do the mastering once again.
have a look at the growing purchase series over here.

set your schedules: the next electric cafe will come up at makroscope mülheim on february 24, 2024.
record of tides will not perform live, but we hope to see you there!
