above you see sven piayda performing as record of tides at szeniale gelsenkirchen last august. further record of tides live dates for 2023 are not confirmed yet.




on the day of release of record of tides ‘post internet’ album, february 24, sven piayda assembled at the electro jam #4 to play a two hour set featuring musicians as dean blues, walter eul, andreas hilburg, klaus kahmann, thomas machoczek and ioannis zedamanis. the live performance was streamed live on facebook. on march 24, on the day of the glitch hop hdj set at HIND and the AESTATE reissues #2 release day, zany music will pit out a live bootleg of the live performance distributed via archive.org.



we have already reported about the architects of utter destruction microsite and its features so we still hope there is something happening. actually there are still equipment issues to fix, most of programming and lyrics are done already. sven referrers to the band as on/off free time project, recordings my start in april or may. we hope for some live appearances in the meantime.

the studio is recently working on numerous projects and has not confirmed any future exhibitions or work on display recently. long-term projects are still delayed, many tableaus are in production recently. nevertheless, apart from production work, the studio is recently focussing on preparing a museum show contribution to come up in october. cross your fingers!




we are happy to announce the release of record of tides´ long-awaited ‘post internet’ album via zany music on february 24, 2023. the album was already finished in 2020 and originally supposed to be released by kreislauf.organistation which unfortunately missed to finish the process (and whose site has recently vanished from the internet). ‘post internet’ does not belong to the ‘purchases’ series, the album is supposed to be the legit follow-up to ‘black album’ (2020) while it uses the idm context for mixing up rock music with conceptional and arty electronica. it features midi programming, sample processing, browser-based production tools, guitars, accordion, calimba, euclidian generated beats, human and robot voices.
post-internet is a loosely-defined term for a 21st-century art movement involving works that are derived from the internet or its effects on aesthetics, culture and society. according to the title´s connection to the world wide web, the album is available digitally only.

as the album was ready for release about two and a half years ago, some tracks are already known: ‘becausetheinternet’ already appears in a newly mastered version on ‘songbook’, the track ‘random darknet shopper’ already debuted live during the gig at consol gelsenkirchen in 2021. the track ‘no sign’ feat. primal scapes was the first collaborative track using euclidan-generated beats which led to the psxrot euclids series.

'post internet' on bandcamp

the album is promotionally escorted by two videos directed by matthias danberg:
the track ‘random darknet shopper’ features a first person perspective museum walkthrough exploring different sculptures by matthias danberg using computer game aesthetics. danberg originally produced an environment for a game engine which was actually explorable via internet browser. while the necessary software is no longer functioning, only the recorded walkthrough remains. as the video illustrates a track called ‘random darknet shopper’, piayda came up with the idea to add night vision to the video. (the cover artwork for the digital single is also based upon a still from the video.)
on february 3rd zany music released the video for ‘be sure to wear flowers in your hair’ which uses altered scenes from the first person perspective museum walkthrough in black and white aesthetics. the track is based upon a heavily processed sample from a well-known seventies song which was originally produced as sound piece for sven piayda´s portfolio, where it is also to be found. danberg and piayda have already collaborated for the record of tides´ music videos ‘vogh beats2’ and ‘horns of paradise’ from ‘black album’. their forth video is supposed to be the closure of the video series.

update 2023-03-15: we are thankful and happy to pass on the latest review on 'post internet' by thierry massard on nocovision. check it out in the reviews section or over at nocovision. a big thanks to thierry, who has an ear on sven piayda´s work for the last five years!
we hope for more to come!


as phil barnett and sven piayda have announced to work on a new collaborative project again, zany music has announced to reissue the AESTATE ‘greatest hits’ (2015) album as well as remix compilations ‘patch’ (2010) and ‘prov aiida ep’ (2011). (the remix albums feature four common tracks by barnett and piayda). the reissues will be available via zany music and downloadable for free via zany load, they will not be distributed via bandcamp for different reasons. zany music will do a makeover on the meta data written into the files and will offer them in reliable zip format. the reissues will contain the original mp3 files in original release quality. additionally, the /CAMP exclusive live recording ‘performance’ will receive the dame makeover to offered on the /CAMP. back in 2021 zany music reissued the three AESTATE albums containing bonus tracks and live excerpts. the remix and ‘greatest hits’ reissues will be available on march 24, 2023.

2023-03-01 representation, portfolio update and elektro jam aftermath
as you might have realized by changes on this site sven piayda is now without any kind of gallery representation, also a future representation is explicitly excluded. certain works may still be offered by certain galleries, current pieces are only available directly from the studio.

also we are delighted to announce that sven piayda and elected works are now featured on superartmarkt.de, a website project set up by artist karin pietzka to present fellowship artists. the site features works by philipp valenta, marta colombo and beatrice richter among further artists. presented works are not only labelled with data and pricing, but also with text supplying further information on offered works. as superartmarkt is not a gallery, conditions for artists are very fair. sven piayda is represented with a single work (‘the joy of three dimensions’ (2017)) only recently, further works are supposed to be added to the portfolio of works.

superartmarkt.de



the studio has finally done the first update for 2023 by adding new works to the photography and video portfolio. the update features a special work: in 2022 sven piayda struck up a collaboration with english interdisciplinary artist and producer phil barnett. back in 2008 barnett produced nature inspired and adaptive electronica as squinancywort, so he and AESTATE started swapping remixes which have been released on ‘patch’ and ‘prov aiida ep’, which will be reissued digitally on zany music on march 24. now barnett and piayda have completed a visual collaboration merging nature and technology. ‘sunrise intervals’ is a meditative 1.20 min loop exploring the colourful changes of the morning sky while transforming into an abstract composition – and back.

we are happy to pass on the announcements of upcoming record of tides glitch hop hdj sets at hier ist nicht da and rosi in gelsenkirchen. the sets will take place on march 24 at hind and april 20 at rosi.
nadine heckner of rosi announces: a long cherished dream comes true. sven piayda will perform a dj set at my place. he had to wait a long time for an appointment, but now i am even more happy that I can present you his glitch hop hdj set. save this date, even if it is still a long time from now.

record of tides is the electronica project of media artist sven piayda. ambient, idm, post hip-hop and post rock are woven into an independent and sophisticated sound, and the sounds are accompanied live by specially produced visuals. record of tides celebrates electronic music beyond techno and soundscape. the unique sound oscillates between composition and deconstruction, from nostalgia to futurism, and explores the possibilities of the genre. piayda looks back on releases and gigs over the last two decades and remains independent and groundbreaking with its varied sound.

for 2023, piayda has come up with something special in addition to audiovisual live sets: for the glitch hop hdj sets, he plays glitch hop, post hip-hop, electronica, idm, vaporwave, downbeat, wonky, remixes, mash-ups, rare & unreleased. in the consistently conceptual sets, the closely related genres of hip-hop and electronica are woven into one another despite their differing popularity.

sven piayda has been working on the concept for months now. check out the posters for record of tides hdj sets, they are announcing the upcoming hdj sets now and will become collectibles later.

2023-02-10 record of tides releases long-awaited ‘post internet’ album feb 24


we are happy to announce the release of record of tides´ long-awaited ‘post internet’ album via zany music on february 24, 2023. the album was already finished in 2020 and originally supposed to be released by kreislauf.organistation which unfortunately missed to finish the process (and whose site has recently vanished from the internet). ‘post internet’ does not belong to the ‘purchases’ series, the album is supposed to be the legit follow-up to ‘black album’ (2020) while it uses the idm context for mixing up rock music with conceptional and arty electronica. it features midi programming, sample processing, browser-based production tools, guitars, accordion, calimba, euclidian generated beats, human and robot voices.
post-internet is a loosely-defined term for a 21st-century art movement involving works that are derived from the internet or its effects on aesthetics, culture and society. according to the title´s connection to the world wide web, the album will be available digitally only.

as the album was ready for release about two and a half years ago, some tracks are already known: ‘becausetheinternet’ already appears in a newly mastered version on ‘songbook’, the track ‘random darknet shopper’ already debuted live during the gig at consol gelsenkirchen in 2021. the track ‘no sign’ feat. primal scapes was the first collaborative track using euclidan-generated beats which led to the psxrot euclids series.

the album is promotionally escorted by two videos directed by matthias danberg:

on february 3rd zany music released the video for ‘be sure to wear flowers in your hair’ which uses altered scenes from the first person perspective museum walkthrough in black and white aesthetics. the track is based upon a heavily processed sample from a well-known seventies song which was originally produced as sound piece for sven piayda´s portfolio, where it is also to be found. danberg and piayda have already collaborated for the record of tides´ music videos ‘vogh beats2’ and ‘horns of paradise’ from ‘black album’. their forth video is supposed to be the closure of the video series.


have a look at the video for ‘be sure to wear flowers in your hair’ by matthias danberg. as piayda already announced on the journal video directors christopher terhart, robin moedder and chris huff are recently working on music videos for two (!) upcoming albums from the ‘purchases’ series. we hope for the sound and vision to be released in 2023. additionally there are ideas to use the extraneous video material within live visuals or even perform with a visual artist live. the studio takes care on production and will announce when there is something to see.


oscillators, filters, envelope generators, low pass gates, distortion, loopers, ring modulators, frequency shifters, noise generators, mixers, amplifiers, granulators, echo and reverb – they are all welcome here – and their many other electronic friends too. together we will set out on a journey of sound, following our desire for creative exchange and the fun of experimentation. anything goes – stylistically completely open.
parallel to the album release the lokal harmonie in duisburg has scheduled the ‘elektro jam #4’. here electronic musicians are announced and invited to jam and improvise the night´s performance. on organisator thomas machoczek´s invitation sven piayda will join the jam by pluging in the guitar and modulation device. doors open at 7.30 pm the jam is supposed to start at 8 pm.

without any announcement in advance and definitely surprising record of tides released the new track ‘random darknet shopper’ on january 1st via zany music and distributed via bandcamp. it is supposed to be available for free for a limited time only.piayda has already debuted the track live during the gig at consol gelsenkirchen in 2021.
‘random darknet shopper’ is taken from the long-awaited album ‘post internet’ which was already finished in 2020 and originally supposed to be released by kreislauf.organistation which unfortunately missed to finish the process.
now the album will finally be released on february 24, 2023. it does not belong to the ‘purchases’ series, the ‘post internet’ album is supposed to be the legit follow-up to ‘black album’ (2020) while it uses the idm context for mixing up seventies rock with conceptional and arty electronica. the title is a quotation from a work by swiss artist collective !mediengruppe bitnik.
during 2014 and 2016 the group programmed a bot to randomly purchase items from the darknet.

the track comes with a music video directed by matthias danberg available via youtube. it features a first person perspective museum walkthrough exploring different sculptures by matthias danberg using computer game aesthetics. danberg originally produced an environment for a game engine which was actually explorable via internet browser. while the necessary software is no longer functioning, only the recorded walkthrough remains.
as the video illustrates a track called ‘random darknet shopper’, piayda came up with the idea to add night vision to the video.
danberg and piayda have already collaborated for the record of tides´ music videos ‘vogh beats2’ and ‘horns of paradise’.
their third video is supposed to be the closure of the video series.
the cover artwork for the digital single is also based upon a still from the video.

update 2023-01-20: we are happy to pass on the announcements of upcoming record of tides glitch hop hdj sets at hier ist nicht da and rosi in gelsenkirchen. the sets will take place on march 24 at hind and april 20 at rosi.
nadine heckner of rosi announces: a long cherished dream comes true. sven piayda will perform a dj set at my place. he had to wait a long time for an appointment, but now i am even more happy that I can present you his glitch hop hdj set. save this date, even if it is still a long time from now.

record of tides is the electronica project of media artist sven piayda. ambient, idm, post hip-hop and post rock are woven into an independent and sophisticated sound, and the sounds are accompanied live by specially produced visuals. record of tides celebrates electronic music beyond techno and soundscape. the unique sound oscillates between composition and deconstruction, from nostalgia to futurism, and explores the possibilities of the genre. piayda looks back on releases and gigs over the last two decades and remains independent and groundbreaking with its varied sound.

for 2023, piayda has come up with something special in addition to audiovisual live sets: for the glitch hop hdj sets, he plays glitch hop, post hip-hop, electronica, idm, vaporwave, downbeat, wonky, remixes, mash-ups, rare & unreleased. in the consistently conceptual sets, the closely related genres of hip-hop and electronica are woven into one another despite their differing popularity.

sven piayda has been working on the concept for months now. check out the posters for record of tides hdj sets, they are announcing the upcoming hdj sets now and will become collectibles later.

without any announcement in advance and definitely surprising record of tides released the new track ‘random darknet shopper’ on january 1st via zany music and distributed via bandcamp. it is supposed to be available for free for a limited time only.piayda has already debuted the track live during the gig at consol gelsenkirchen in 2021.
‘random darknet shopper’ is taken from the long-awaited album ‘post internet’ which was already finished in 2020 and originally supposed to be released by kreislauf.organistation which unfortunately missed to finish the process.
now the album will finally be released on february 24, 2023. it does not belong to the ‘purchases’ series, the ‘post internet’ album is supposed to be the legit follow-up to ‘black album’ (2020) while it uses the idm context for mixing up seventies rock with conceptional and arty electronica. the title is a quotation from a work by swiss artist collective !mediengruppe bitnik.
during 2014 and 2016 the group programmed a bot to randomly purchase items from the darknet.

the track comes with a music video directed by matthias danberg available via youtube. it features a first person perspective museum walkthrough exploring different sculptures by matthias danberg using computer game aesthetics. danberg originally produced an environment for a game engine which was actually explorable via internet browser. while the necessary software is no longer functioning, only the recorded walkthrough remains.
as the video illustrates a track called ‘random darknet shopper’, piayda came up with the idea to add night vision to the video.
danberg and piayda have already collaborated for the record of tides´ music videos ‘vogh beats2’ and ‘horns of paradise’.
their third video is supposed to be the closure of the video series.
the cover artwork for the digital single is also based upon a still from the video.
