update 2025-01-29: like all of you, we have been watching in horror at the devastation wrought by the wildfires in california, with thousands of people – including many in the bandcamp community of labels and artists – losing their homes and finding their livelihoods jeopardized. that’s why on friday, february 7th, from midnight to midnight pst, 100% of bandcamp’s proceeds will be donated to musicares to support those affected by the recent southern california wildfires. musicares helps the humans behind music because music gives so much to the world. offering preventive, emergency, and recovery programs, musicares is a safety net supporting the health and welfare of the music community. we hope you’ll join both us and our partners in this effort – a2im, harman, lagunitas, roland, shure, victrola, and win – in spreading the word to fans to help us raise as much as possible for impacted communities. in addition, bandcamp is officially announcing that bandcamp fridays will continue in 2025 on the following dates: march 7th, may 2nd, august 1st, september 5th, october 3rd and december 5th. recordoftides.bandcamp.com zanymusic.bandcamp.com

we are exited to announce of the release of the new video for the record of tides track
'ugly furniture and maritime view' as directed by grischo schluesi. the production of the video took quite a long time as schluesi
(who also directed ‘the future is over’) produced all of the video material on his own.
the video is out on friday, january 24 and will be the last one for the ‘love mural’ album.

sven piayda already announced to work on an album being ‘post-genre’ and abstract while bringing back older (mashed up) tracks,
doing a.i.-generated sounds and stuff suitable for a live context.
long-term collaborator michael schreiber is supposed to play a pivotal role in this production
which is believed to move away from post hip-hop approach mixing styles from previous releases with newly discovered styles.
the album is supposed to be artistically the most ambitioned and unique production.
we hope to have the new sound like during upcoming live dates in spring and summer.
please set your schedules and get your tickets.





we are also happy to announce the record of tides track 'ugly furniture and maritime view'
is featured on episode 750 of the weekly syndae podcast as hosted by stefan schulz.
the episode assembles this years schallwelle awardees in the ‘your own way’ category.
unfortunately record of tides did not make it in the last round and will not be part of the schallwelle award show.
you may find out more on podcast and the schallwelle award by following the links below.

schulz writes on the syndae site: taking your own way is not always easy on yourself.
it usually means to be smiled upon for not following the main stream or longing for success, as others define it.
the core point most often is to follow ones heart and ideas to fulfill one's ‘need’ to express oneself.
it's not necessarily some hard choices or decisions to be made,
but it may take some courage and choices in live others do not understand.
well, at least it takes some guts to put out your own creations to the world for good or bad,
as one never knows about what response to expect.
the schallwelle award's your own way prize is interested in rather unusual ways for finding into electronic music.
this is part two of nominee tracks, this time by mikel sounder, spieluhr records, secret moonbase,
vortex elements, wellengärtner, rahara chillout, midi bitch, record of tides, romerium.

after the release of 'love mural' sven piayda has already reported to have finished productions for a new album
featuring HYRN and martin slemeyer. unfortunately the finishing process for the new album has stopped.
as you can see above, there is already a draft for a tracklist for tracks waiting to be bounced and mastered.
the cover artwork is already done, matthias danberg has mentioned to be working on a video for a track of the new album.
we hope to have the production finished and mastered within 2024 and hope for a release in spring 2025.
micheal schreiber a.k.a. primal scapes is once again scheduled to master the album.
HYRN is also believed to be part of future releases by architects of utter destruction.

I had to visit mönchengladbach (or ‘MG actiontown’ as we used to say) for professional reasons
and I once again thought about what else to do there to make my day worthwhile and to give it some sense (at least for me).
instead of visiting hannelore reuen at haus UR I visited björn walde a.k.a. HYRN a.k.a. klangzaun in his studio.
we know each other from numerous electric café festivals and have enjoyed each others performances.
björn has been open-minded and supportive throughout and has delivered some great performances as well.
so we have already started to collaborate on upcoming tracks for record of tides and architects of utter destruction
and he became a listed guest artist on zany music.
I was ready to record but we just spend the afternoon talking and noodling around with the synths and controllers (and his strat of course).
there is collaborative stuff coming up anyway, and we´ll have a look MG actiontown in the upcoming months.

hyrn.bandcamp.com



true beats straight from the street, here the petty criminal gangsters are caught in the act!
when oliver schupp a.k.a. o.s.cillator posted his speed camera picture I immediately thought it would perfectly fit to my collection
and I would need to use this for promotion (used with permission).
‘love mural’ was well attended in the first days and even sold but there is a quick fall-off every time.
we are recently about to finish the next album but I could not render and bounce the productions as estimated.
things take a little longer this time and a new album will not come before 2025,
nevertheless, I want you to celebrate `love mural`.
especially the track ‘anticipation for returnal’ evoked some kind feedback with some fellow musicians writing me to tell me how great it is.
this doesn’t happen too often.

in september 1999 zany music released sven´s debut album ‘portrait’.
this first album on compact disc appeared to be the pivotal milestone for of sven piayda´s (song) writing, performing,
producing and releasing in decades to come.
even recent productions by record of tides or architects of utter destruction are based upon this first album.

in 2024 we look back on 25 years of 'portrait' and zany music,
the label exploring musical styles expanding from idm to rock, from post hip-hop to pop metal.
releasing on compact disc in the first decade,
zany music changed to digital releases (mp3 and wav) and has put out even some additional vinyl in the last five years.
before 1999 piayda did song demos and ambient compositions on tape
even featuring the zany music labelling but without having it available to the public.

celebrating 25 years on zany music, rediscover the millstones celebrating anniversaries as well:

record of tides ‘timber’
after producing two shaved space monkey albums based upon samples chopped from symphonic recordings and italo pop,
‘timber’ appeared to be the first serous attempt to create electronic music based on self-made samples avoiding guitars or rock drums.
the style could be labelled as post electronica.
this album is the basement for the 2024 avant-garde electronica/post hip-hop masterpiece ‘common findings’.
the album is available as kreislauf.organsation/zany music
2014 digital re-release featuring two bonus tracks.

celebrate with us:

having performed a lot live during the last months and having just dropped a second album called ‘unrest’
and a cover version of erasure´s ’always’, piayda has mentioned to be working on a third architects of utter destruction album
featuring chris huff, jan van aachen, michael schreiber and further drummers.
the writing and pre-production process has expanded over a year now,
the band is set up to finally record bass, guitar and vocals.

update 2024-07-10: thierry massard has contributed a review for novoVision:

to say that nocovision appreciates the works of sven piayda is an understatement.
it's a recurring interest, a friendship from the early days,
a story born in the rubble or the decline of a first and definitively magnificent netaudio wave
- the dawn of the 2010s, a century...
following a path dotted with investigations, deftly digesting eclecticism and the most diverse influences,
and covering a spectrum as wide as abstract hip-hop, film music, and even a touch of guitar hero (to name only the most touchy),
record of tides has no regard for classification, that discipline necessary for comprehensive reading by the greatest number,
opportune followers of the easy route. […]
no matter, obscure, 'common findings' is as little summarizable as the vocabulary is still in the process of being developed,
a protean language that will remain so as long as mr. piayda pleases - no compromise! […]

here is a first picture of record of tides’ live performance at makroscope last saturday.

as well as into the 'purchases' series and is based upon photographs taken by michael schreiber and sven piayda.

here you have some snapshots of o.s.cillator a.k.a. oliver schupp
and me a.k.a. record of tides performing at the 16th festival of electric café ruhr.
it is amazing to perform our stuff in a fitting context and play for people who are truly interested and open-minded,
positive and communicative. I am still working on finishing the feature track I do with oliver
as he claims to be happy with what I did to his jams. things will take time as we have to do the mastering
and the video production (which has also already stared).
keep an eye on this guy and stay excited for our common track to come up.

from svenpiayda.com/blog: 2024-06-17 evaluation era: a call from the post-future



a few times I reported to have been working with o.s.cillator on a common track
and I have had a spelling mistake in all posts, how stupid is this?
I apologize and have corrected everything, I guess.
our track is trcky, I have been correcting bits again and again
and am recently finishing the video I have been rendering for months.
'common findings' performs great and is a great album indeed, but there is more to come...

[...] I started a tune called ‘texels track’ and another one called ‘anticipation for returnal’.
both appear to as a mixture of boards of canada and oneothrix point never – well, it could be worse.
in advance, as we were looking for apartments to book,

this is an actual picture of me in the texel apartment, late at night with the headphones on,
pushing samples from one side to the other.
it is a kind of magic when you find yourself alone in a random place doing what you are doing.
this magic door into creativity and production or even flow can open every where,
it distracts you from time and space. nevertheless it is even more special to do it there.
so an upcoming record of tides album was partly made here and it somehow closes a circle:
the project name even illustrates my fascination for and inspiration from the sea,
you can tell by rediscovering my debut under this stage name entitled ‘timber’ which will turn 20 in august.

from svenpiayda.com/blog: 2024-04-05 creativity on an island (and leisure of course)



as I have mentioned before I stared (and finished) a new record of tides album in the winter of 2024.
michael schreiber (a.k.a. primal scapes) did the mastering once again.
as I wanted to have a feature by andreas hilburg on my record I asked him to do a melodeon solo improvisation for a track.
the result is stunning, the his melodic approach leaves the grid and makes it more vivid,
I edited and folded it a little bit and it even inspired me to add some drums and melodic ambience lines.
however, the three of us were back in studio together (even if these were three studios at three times)
and we recorded once again after starting our common sound for ‘despedida’,
an instrumental from primal scapes´’macrocosm’ album, written and produced by michael
featuring melodeon by andreas and guitar by me. you can/should listen to the track over here.
the record of tides album featuring the three of us is supposed to come up in summer.

o.s.cillator a.k.a. oliver schupp is well-known for his all-live jammed electronic performances on youtube and the electric café,
especially the outstanding performance in january 2023. next to that, oliver is also a rock musician,
a decent supporter and a great guy to hang out with, so it was just an inevitable consequence to request a collaboration.
it would just be great to have this guy in my universe. oliver supplied much material to chose from, so I did and got a great idea.
the track holds his industrial scent but opens to aestival urban post hip hop. there is another record to come, and to be excited for…

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 evening will be hosted by christopher terhart giving an introduction to the scheduled films.

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.

all directors as well as sven piayda are expected to be present.

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.

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.

'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.



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.

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.

update 2023_01_26 via svenpiayda.com/blog:
I wanted to do a glitch hop set for a while now and offered the concept to some venues harvesting a lot of frustration,
so I am more than surprised to present two shows now.
I even feel scared of my own idea, I drafted it and it was put on the schedule by others
and now it is happening with me not knowing exactly what may happen.
it is exciting anyway, it may turn out great or lame, two chances, we´ll see…

these dates are standalone events for fun, somehow they are also promotional dates for the ‘post internet’ album
(which is lying around finised since two years…).
it is hilarious, I am already finishing the album after the album after ‘post internet’ and it will be great material.
in this context I am also working with artists and directors to have the right video for it.
so I will come up with another but final video by matthias danberg for ‘post internet’ and
I am recently working with christopher terhart, robin moedder and chris huff on upcoming material. there is great stuff ahead…

I am taking the visual site very serious here, but I do not want to do it all on my own as I found people willing to work with me
and contribute to the project and as I am thankful for their fantastic input.
I have realized to start working on the album covers when I feel an album in production,
I guess the cover is as important as the music, maybe the cover is everything most people know about an album,
maybe it is a door opener to some… keep an eye on the internet, great stuff is coming,
for the meantime let´s have some fun:

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.

‘random darknet shopper’ on bandcamp



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.

jan-dirk platek x record of tides will release their follow-up to the remarkable mini ep ‘expotential/frequentism’ on january 13.
the new ep will be called 'boxes', featuring three new collaborative tracks.
the release will be available via bandcamp and streaming,
the streaming version will feature an alternate cover which is now used for all collaborative works.

jan-dirkplatek.bandcamp.com



sven piayda wrote on the journal:
last year jan-dirk platek and me did our first collaboration for ‘expotential/frequentism’,
as the result turned out to be more than convincing for all of us I offered to do it again.
there were plans in summer but I actually wanted to have more time passed until we do a second try.
as we are both busy with projects and issues we did not focus it and I did not see it coming.
I was surprised to see a picture of him recording new material for me, a few days later I received three piano tracks.
I thought they were already quite dense and I did not really see what to do with it.
jan replied that I should take time and suddenly everything happened in two days, working parallel on all tracks.
when I sent mp3 demos of my versions, jan posted some very kind works on facebook, making my day:

I'm listening to the almost finished mixes of my collaboration with record of tides and I could cry from happiness.
when two people understand each other blindly on a musical level, it's really extraordinary.
I have met sven piayda only once in my life - and that was a long time ago.
sometimes great things come about without much discussion. it just fits.

on december 16, primal scapes aka michael schreiber will finally release his second solo album.
‘macrocosm’ will once again feature sven piayda on guitar, chris huff on bass and jan van aachen on drums.
schreiber has already produced ‘entertain’ (2020) with this band,
electronic musician and keyboardist andreas hilburg expands the line-up for the track ‘desperdida’.
the recording sessions have started directly after finishing the debut album in july 2021 without fixing any release dates.
van aachen, huff and piayda have released their debut album ‘monument’ as architects of utter destruction in the meantime in february 2022.

the new album turns out to be a synth rock album far away from pure electronic music.
the sleeve design and artwork has been produced by schreiber and piayda, based upon schreiber’s pixel randomizer programming,
piayda developed a series of pictures showing cgi surfaces.
these pictures have been processed ending up in the album artwork.

on friday, december 16, primal scapes will celebrate the release with a live stream event.
starting at 8 pm schreiber will stream the full album via youtube, as he has directed videos for every single song.
between the videos michael schreiber and sven piayda will discuss the production process and will also answer questions,
which will be delivered via chat.
additionally, a surprise guest will probably show up.

‘macrocosm’ will be available as digipack compact disc as well as in numerous digital formats,

we are happy to announce sven piayda´s contribution to the lisaluna short film festival traditionally taking place on the shortest day of the year, december 21.

sven on the website intro picture used for 'songbook', taken from the journal:
the museum also featured a show concerning women in art, also on the question on being underrepresented
as creators and being declassified as (sexual) objects in works.
this is a complex topic I would not dare to discuss here but there was one position really striking my mind.
bolette berg and marie hoeg have been working as photographers at the end of the 19th century.
their heritage contained a box labelled as private with a bunch of pictures taken, obviously unreleased and obviously just for fun.
here the two female photographers stage themselves as boy, man, bear or smoking in a boat.
these pictures must be a hundred years old, these still look beautiful and fresh but they teach you one thing:
a lot of discussion and finding on diversity is a lot older than often realized.



and here the two women used the medium to capture some playful thoughts for the time afterwards.
here the age of (post-) postmodernism comes in. we already know,
that there is nothing new left and these women even have the medium to proof it for us.
it is the conserving medium which enhances our post-modernistic world. it should be relaxing and calming every discussion we´re in.
it is not new, we have seen it before, find out what we already have and then consider if you still feel like starting a revolution.
I felt like neo meeting the architect in matrix. so what do bolette berg and marie hoeg teach you, apart from making great photographs?

it is our great pleasure to finally announce the new collaboration of christopher terhart and sven piayda for terhart´s movie debut.
‘kaivalya’ can be described as an experimental documentary type of film about solitude,
it is a non-verbal and non-narrative piece of cinema. the film features scenes of decay,
nature and various places all over germany, focussing on broken beauty.
on terhart´s request piayda has scored the movie based upon known and previously unreleased record of tides tracks from the ‘purchrases’ series.
these tracks have been remixed and remastered and appear without beats as score of the movie.
the soundtrack is supposed to be available via bandcamp parallel to the movie´s release.

the release of the full movie is scheduled for 2023 without any fix date so far as it is still in (post) production.
you can already watch the trailer over here: vimeo.com/759265114

all info on christopher terhart and the project over at www.christerhart.net

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.

in 2022 record of tides appeared live for three times, a live performance, a hdj set and an av live set.
as these performances focus on the sample and synth based music of record of tides,
sven piayda has been considering on how to bring up live music from the ‘collected riffing works’ albums or the architects of utter destruction debut album.
as forming a new band is not an option, it is considered to perform live guitar to a pre-produced backing track.
incidentally and not announced, piayda appeared live for a jam session at anyway, essen, on septmeber 15.
as the this way of performing live turned out to be simple and convincing, future dates for jams are supposed to come up.
on the basis of ‘collected rigging works’ these live events will be called'‘selected shredding gigs' or 'connected riffing jerks' later on.

we expect these dates for 'connected riffing jerks'
(not confirmed yet)

2022_09_25 hennie's inn musiker treff, bottrop
2022_10_13 anyway, essen
2022_11_05 affenhack, herne

2022_12_08 anyway, essen

update 2022_09_27: here is another stunning episode: the anyway posted a date for a jam session.
I was curious but my day was already full of stuff I had to care for and I experienced some jams as pretty stupid
when singing collectives show up to present cover versions or the resident band simply plays their songs.
however, managed to show up on time, bringing my new white strat (finally playable but not yet completely finished) and the line6 pod.
well, the rest was super easy. all musicians showing up are a little bit insecure, open-minded and willing to do something together.
we really rocked a lot on improvised riffs, sometimes even improvised vocals with the audience applauding our jammed songs.
it was so thrilling and joyful that I want to do it again. I do not know if I want to found a live band again,
but recording songs and playing jams appears to be a great opportunity.
I want to some more jams in the next months or ‘selected shredding gigs’, see www.recordoftides.com.
I realized that it must have been over a decade that I played guitar in front of an audience
(or people hanging out at the same pub as I do) but I feel that I still can do it and should do it.
set your schedules: october 13, live jam session, anyway. seeya!

last sunday I did a blues jam session in bottrop.
it was strange to play blues songs I do not even know myself and wait for the solo spot.
doing a jam without any given song brings a lot more dynamics into it,
also some more euphoria. however, this is susie and me on stage for the first time in a decade.



update 2022-10-01: on behalf of bandcamp friday, october 7, zany music releases ‘downfall (slow)’.
the track originally appeared on record of tides´ 2022 album ‘panamerican’.
during the av live set at szeniale festival in gelsenkirchen on august 20, 2022,
piayda came up with a slower and restructured version of the track.
this version is now available as ‘name your price’ download in different digital formats,
later it will be added as bonus track to the ‘panamerican’ album.

it is our massive pleasure to announce the opening of the new sven piayda solo exhibition
at essen-based kunstverein kunstwerden on sunday, september 11 at 4 pm.
the show will be entitled ‘needle in the multiverse’ as curated by petra steinhardt
and will combine multiple disciplines and aesthetic impressions.

the press text states a following:
in his solo exhibition for kunstwerden sven piayda combines photography, video, cgi, found footage, multiples,
sound and music to create a multi-aesthetic experience.
an almost half-hour animated film and the one-hour soundtrack enable immersive immersion - as well as a memory game on display,
which makes it possible to experience the crux of fixed rules when viewing things.
full of cross-references to science, art history, and pop culture, the works from the last nine years quote nasa's probe missions,
de saussure's linguistic models, leonardo da vinci's landscapes, beethoven’s unfinished 10th symphony and hugh everett's multiverse theory.
the exhibition reflects the observation of things with limited means between infinite zooming out and authentic self-reflection:
is the answer to the question of divine genius to be found in the interuniversal, in the transcendent or in ourselves?

the show will also feature ‘future perfect (lbv#10)’, a transparent vinyl containing piayda´s attempt to finish ludwig van beethoven´s 10th symphony.
the piece has already been on display at kunstmuseum mülhein in 2021 and at galerie an der ruhr in 2020
– here the record was presented on a player to explore the sound. in the kunstwerden exhibition,
the record will not be played but sound piece will appear within the sound installation.
next to ‘future perfect (lbv#10)’ the soundtrack also feature parts of ‘saturn rings’, ‘la mer’, ‘the long way down’
as well as record of tides tracks ‘horns of paradise’ and ‘snd’.

the show, its opening and aligned events will fit recent pandemic related hygienic rules.
sven piayda is expected to be present during the opening, an artist talk is scheduled for october 23.
further dates to be announced.

record of tides returned to the szeniale festival in 2022 after performing in 2019 for the debuting festival.
thanks to fans and supporters, there is a lot of material documenting both gigs which have both turned out to be very good ones.
studio is recently puzzling all media together (including photographs, mobile phone video footage and line-out-recordings)
to produce two live bootlegs capturing the performances.
we hope to have these twin bootlegs produced soon.
they may be released in future, probably escorting the next szenale.

sven piayda has already blogged about the szeniale gig and the support by many great people.
the studio is still working on the material and will come up with more soon.
first of all, we are extremely happy to present a live snippet on youtube:
record of tides performing ‘b-petol’ with perfectly syncing visuals. the clip was filmed by sandra borbe,
who had already streamed parts of the performance live on instagram. we hope to present more snippets of the performance soon.

now you can exclusively download ‘b-petol (live at szeniale 2022)’ here.
record of tides has finally started to upload videos on youtube, most of the content is mirrored from vimeo.

the rot channel has also brought up a video documenting piayda playing ‘random darknet shopper’ at consol in summer 2021.
the track is supposed to be taken from the unreleased and upcoming ‘post internet’ album,
for which visual artist matthias danberg is working on videos.

this has been a remarkable weekend, actually an electronic weekend.
after postponing the szeniale because of the covid pandemic and working for about two years on it finally took place last saturday.
I was finally able to play the record of tides set. after much practicing and preparing I was able to play a good gig,
I am pretty happy with the result. even if the set-up contained a lot of (still on time) improvisation,
the whole thing looked good, the way it was supposed to be.
playing live (especially in gelsenkirchen) leaves me with mixed feelings, however, I have managed to also have a good time when playing on a festival.
so I am pretty happy with the result, it looks and sounds the way I want it to, but it also feels ‘enough’ or somehow finished.
I think I could change it towards a post rock show in the future and maybe play somewhere else.
so why would I come up with a french headline while not speaking it?
well, because of me performing and seeing dominik eulberg live I would call it the electric weekend.
translating it into french makes it sound like ‘fin de siècle’ which is marking an era but also the end of it.
maybe it was defining something, and maybe it is over. I do not know yet.
however, I am thankful for a lot of support and documentation by a bunch of lovely people around.
I am still getting pictures and video snippets which I am transforming into material for the record of tides website and hopefully for youtube.
so once again, a big thank you to marion neunzig, laura haurand, sandra kunce-haurand, sandra borbe and grisho schlüsi.
I will come up with a digital thank-you-bundle. recently, there are some tracks in the making,
but I will focus on an upcoming compilation album as well on a soundtrack for an experimental movie.
matthias danberg and me are working on audio visual material for an unreleased album.
also, my on/off project called architects of utter destruction needs a second album and the song writing process is a long one…
additionally, there is still a primal scapes album in the making… let´s have a closer look on the past weekend.



marion neunzig joined my gig at consol in summer 2021. by taking and posting some pictures we got into contact and I have invented her to performances afterwards.
fortunately, she was able to join this time and took some remarkable pictures. above you can see some impressions from the gig, more soon.

my friend and collegue sandra borbe has turned out to be a big supporter by taking pictures (and partying afterwards) at szeniale 2019,
frühlingserwachen and this szeniale. she has delivered some remarkable videos (from the instagram live stream) and pictures,
not only from the gig, also from the fooling around afterwards.

record of tides performed a beautiful and complex set at kultur.picknick auf consol last saturday.
the tacks were mainly based upon idm and post hip-hop and were merged into one another without deconstructing them.
piayda also played a new track called ‘thinking often’ which appeared towards the end of the set ending up in aphex twin´s ‘rhubarb’ ambient masterpiece.
‘thinking often’ also appeared during his live set at heilig-kreuz-kirche in may. this might point on a release of new album.

dealing with the on-going humanitarian disaster in ukraine, providence (rhode island, usa) based label component recordings
releases a compilation featuring artists from all around the world in the genres of electronic music, experimental, ambient, industrial, techno and related styles.
the call was initiated by the musicians from snowbeasts (elizabeth virosa and robert galbraith from providence, usa) and kai niggemann (cologne, germany).
they have received hundreds of submissions from over 27 countries, from all over the world, selected, grouped and assembled an album
that is an intense sonic journey through many different styles of electronic music.
there are nearly 200 tracks of amazing quality on this album, making this one of the longest albums ever released on bandcamp.
visual artists noah g hirka designed the artwork for this album.

all proceeds from the sale of this compilation will be split evenly between the charities vostok sos and the ukrainian red cross.

‘for peace. against war. who is not?’ is a compilation by hundreds of electronic music artists from all over the world
to raise money and awareness for the humanitarian disaster caused by the russian war on ukraine.
we united to ty to help using what we know best: our music and art.
support this compilation now by buying it on bandcamp (feel free to add as much of a donation as you can afford).
100% of the proceeds go directly to vostok sos and the red cross ukraine. enjoy the music, and please spread the word!
(press release)

the compilation exclusively contains the new record of tides track ‘a dozen roses’.
the track was produced while working on a follow-up to ‘panamerican’.
as the track was already removed from the new album´s tracklist we are happy to present it in this context.
once again it was produced by sven piayda and mastered by michael schreiber.
(primal scapes a.k.a. michael schreiber is contributing the track ‘overseas’,
which is already available as live version on ‘vivid euclids | live 2021-12-03’.)

we like to encourage you to react to the on-going humanitarian disaster,
purchasing the compilation is one opportunity to do so.
next to contributing to this charity project, piayda is also supporting relief organizations.

a special thanks to kai niggemann for managing the contribution.

update 2022-03-16: after only about 8,5 hours we have raised over $2500 already [over $4200 after just 24 hours].
many people are paying much more than our recommended low-threshold price of $12 — one person paid $200 for the compilation.
[…] there is an amazing momentum that all of you are making happen through social media and your mailing lists.
— component recordings sale progression report

update 2022-03-17: the ukraine charity compilation already raised $5000 and it is still selling.
the compilation also appears in bandcamp´s category rankings, it is #4 in electronic, #2 in experimental and #1 in techno.

cdm writes: as far as i know, the largest international compilation has been ‘for peace. against war. who is not? a compilation for the people of ukraine’.
it feels like a landmark musical moment – at once, resisting putin’s aggression and supporting ukrainian freedom,
and also reviving universal antiwar messages. none other than wolfgang flür of kraftwerk opens with a new antiwar anthem to the whole planet,
“say no”. other names join, including stephen mallinder (cabaret voltaire), scanner, die angel (with ilpo väisänen of pan sonic fame),
schneider tm, joasihno (cico beck of the notwist), mia zabelka, and dead voices on air. but i also see a lot of names from around the world
and from more experimental corners, including friends who have been stalwart opponents of oppression elsewhere.
that is to say, this is not limited to people who have just become politically active for ukraine.
i contributed a track there, too, a new one that for me connects to how i feel.
thanks to organizers snowbeasts (elizabeth virosa & robert galbraith) and kai niggemann.
vostok sos and ukrainian red cross are the beneficiaries, and the financial response was overwhelming even in the first few hours.

cdm.link/2022/03/cries-and-pleas-expressed-in-music-in-expansive-benefit-compilations-for-and-by-ukraine

update 2022-03-19: today, saturday, march 19, the first sum of money is supposed to be donated.
the last reported amount was $5600, we estimate it for today up to about $6000 to be split and donated. more info soon.

update 2022-03-21: up to now the compilation havs received $7402 in donations.
the first payments have gone to vostok vos and the ukrainian red cross for $2794 each
and additional funds will be sent when they are transferred from bandcamp.
the response have been incredible with many people donating well over the $12 asking price with numerous donations of $50 and $100.
there has been one generous person donating $200.
the label wants to thank the people who have been sharing and promoting the project and making this all happen.

update 2022-03-31: component recordings have raised over $8500 so far but hasen't received all the funds from bandcamp yet.
about $8000 have already gone to vostok sos and the red cross ukraine. feel free to spread the word that the money is already helping!
it's bandcamp friday on april 1st. this means bandcamp doesn't take their normal revenue share and
about 10% more of the money raised will go to the cause (about 5% go to paypal, the rest is actual benefit money), please support.

update 2022-04-03: component recordings has raised over $10.000 already.

without any announcement in advance and definitely surprising zany music has released the new record of tides album ‘panamerican’
as distributed via bandcamp. the album features 14 tracks pandering between different styles and production methods in electronic music.
the album was not mentioned but was already produced in november and december 2021. after collaborative releases with jan-dirk platek
and primal scapes as well as numerous features ‘panamerican’ is the legit solo follow up to ‘purchases’.

‘panamerican’ comes as follow-up to the critics´ favourite masterpiece album ‘purchases’ and its escorting ep series.
once again piayda layers synths and samples over changing beats delivering a contemporary post hip-hop variation,
but things are quite different this time.
fulfilling the teasers of ‘battery ep’ the new album for 2022 takes up the multiply remixed drum ‘n’ base hit ‘concrete walls of gruga’.
this time it appears calm and slow while being as complex as usually.
low end downbeats alternate with wurlitzer rhythms, jazzy drums as well as cold idm beats.
record of tides peers into the future as usually but has one foot in the good old american days. this mix of influences,
styles and sounds may sound strange and ambiguous as draft but merges perfectly in generating one of his most poppy albums.
this is an elaborated late work and gateway offer as well.
in all of its friendly complexness ‘panamerican’ is the parting of ways by stringing the possibilities.
where can you go from here?

update 2022-01-31: serious playfulness from a musician who has long since become an expert in the art of avoiding pitfalls.
in substance and form. protean hip hop abstraction, [...] crystallizes with the expected agility,
the double game of a crossover of influences in balance and downtempo variation.

update 2022-01-31: this friday, february 4, will be the return of bandcamp friday.
on bandcamp fridays, an average of 93% of your money reaches the artist/label (after payment processor fees).
when you make a purchase on any other day of the month an average of 82% reaches the artist/label.
so if you are considering to purchase music form record of tides or any other release from zany music,
bandcamp friday is the day to go ahead. you are always making a great deal,

update 2022-02-03: above you see two graphs documenting the performance of record of tides on bandcamp
since joining in autumn 2020 counting the plays and not the sales. we are not delivering any numbers here.
as you can see in the upper one, the attention is following waves placing the peeks around new releases.
the trend appears to be downward considering the one and a half year performance.
looking at the last months you can see ‘panamerican’ performing well by creating a high peek and a quick fall-off.
we hope for some more long-lasting success. however, download ‘panamerican’ on bandcamp friday, february 4,
and get the ‘purchases’ album (mp3 bundle) in addition as bonus item.

jan-dirk platek a.k.a. we deserve this and sven piayda have collaborated for an upcoming two-track release.
the digital only double single jan-dirk platek x record of tides ‘expotential / frequentism’ will not be on label and out january 14, 2022,
available on your favorite streaming service among applemusic, spotify, amazon music, tidal, deezer and bandcamp.
it will be available as pre-order via bamdcamp on boxing day, december 26, 2021.
platek and piayda already collaborated for the ‘concrete walls of gruga’ remix compilation.

pre-order and download via
jan-dirkplatek.bandcamp.com

additionally sven piayda has directed a promotional video for the track 'expotential'.
the fully animated black and white video is also available on boxing day, december 26, 2021.
it will be available on youtube and as bonus item on the bandcamp delivered download version of the 'expotential / frequentism' release.

update 2021-12-27: on boxing day, prettyinnoise.de premiered the video escorted with small article.
(please apologise the half-correct track credits):
Der Klang-, Video- und Fotokünstler lebt seine Kunst in verschiedensten Projekten und mit unterschiedlichsten Ansätzen aus.
Neben Record Of Tides ist er ebenfalls der Kopf hinter dem Musikprojekt AESTATE.
Für die neue Record Of Tides Single hat er sich mit Jan-Dirk Platek zusammengefunden.
Solomusiker Platek ist vielleicht den ein oder anderen PiN-Leser:innen von seinem Projekt We Deserve This bekannt.
Zusammen veröffentlichen die beiden Künstler nun eine 2-Track Single (Expotential / Frequentism),
die am 14.01.2022 auf allen gängigen Streaming- und Downloadportalen erscheinen wird.

Die Nummer besticht durch relativ ruhige Ambient-Flächen die scheinbar kurz vor dem Ausbruch immer wieder eingefangen werden.
Nach dreieinhalb Minuten entlädt sich die aufgebaute Spannung in einem wahren Klangrausch,
welcher überraschenderweise auf jegliche Beats verzichtet.
Ein spannendes Projekt, welches man jedem Fan elektronischer und meditativer Instrumentals empfehlen kann.

‘expotential’ is just melancholic in the beginning and becomes more brutal and powerful than a slayer song towards the end.
it sounds unique, even after the umpteenth listen.
– jan-dirk platek

creating ‘expotential’ was quite different from what i´d usually would do. however, it is all derived from jan´s piano lines.
stretching, folding and checking where it would go and there you are.
– sven piayda

on friday, december 3, 2021 at 8 pm michael schreiber and sven piayda will add the next chapter to their collaborative euclid series.
‘vivid euclids’ will be a live performance streamed via youtube from primals studios.
the set will feature live versions of tracks from the euclid series as well as older and unreleased tracks.

on january 1 ,2021 primal scapes and record of tides released their collaborative album ‘revenant euclids’
without any announcement in advance via zany music and distributed via bandcamp.
the album features ten tracks mostly based upon randomized euclidian pattern.
the collaborative album was produced in november and december 2020.
following their highly appreciated collaborative album, primal scapes x record of tides released the appendix ep ‘sweven euclids’
on march 1, 2021 using similar production methods without creating any beats within their ambient pieces.
the collaborative ep was produced in january and february 2021.

michael schreiber explains the approach and working process:
to perform electronic music live always has a limiting factor - which is only two hands and two feet per musician.
due to that these performances sometimes feel lame (although they sound nice) when there is too many playback material.
the approach we choose for the next live stream is different from that and could be called it-based.
think of an audio-workstation as a giant modular system with tons of modules like clocks, logical units.
these modules are arranged into independent sequencers and can be compared to little programs running and doing music.
instead of triggering keys or buttons which directly trigger a sound we will perform ‘them’ and change the ‘programs’ doing that for us.
this might be a little abstract way of making music - as there is no creativity inside the machine -
and pressing a key or button to trigger a certain note or sound in that moment is different
from saying the program that the chance for that event to happen increases.
nevertheless it is fun - an interesting and highly efficient way of making music.

on august 12 record of tides performed live at consol gelsenkirchen.
the gig documents sven piayda´s electronica project very well
by mixing up classic idm tracks with post hip-hop productions,
well-known and unreleased tracks.

record of tides´s ‘battery ep’ was released on september 3 and differs a lot from previous recordings
as it abandons post hip hop to focus on drill’n’bass influenced idm.
the ep also features the track ‘concrete walls of gruga’ which is already well-known as remix by we deserve this.
now zany music drops a collection of remixes by prominent artists
exploring the possibilities of the track while expanding it into numerous genres.

‘concrete walls of gruga’ has been reworked by kratzwerk, we deserve this, konvlikt, wesenberg, primal scapes and record of tides.

the origin of this production traces back to an anticipated collaboration of kratzwerk and record of tides.
guido richter a.k.a. kratzwerk asked for stems of the track and a little later further artists joined the project
while using the same stems to adapt the track into their style.
fun fact: sven piayda plays guitar on the primal scapes remix on behalf of michael schreiber.
it was recorded during (yet unfinished) sessions for a new primal scapes album. the track also features chris huff on bass.

download ‘concrete walls of gruga remixes’ from bandcamp.

update 2021-09-20: our friend thierry massard wrote a review on ‘concrete walls of gruga remixes’ for nocovision:
not content with sharing an original success with himself sven piayda has called together a dream team,
discreet in appearance, but which will certainly make history.

last thursday, august 12, record of tides performed an open air audio visual live set at consol in gelsenkirchen
supported by fellow live electronic artists lemon & pilgrim.
even as the stage and light situation was not suitable for video projection sven piayda managed to show a visual presentation via screen.

fortunately fellowship artist michael schreiber took care of documenting the event,
so we are happy to hand over some audio and video snippets of this great set to you.

but is expected to return to gelsenkirchen for the szeniale festival on august 20, 2022.



recordoftides.com is uploading incoming pictures of the performance. as there is more and more media made available via this site,

but these issues will be fixed in the upcoming weeks.


the show ended with a long, alternative and live improvised version of ‘beats over rags’
followed by (a police sirens passing by and) the crowd cheering.
the track is now available (probably for limited time as single track) and will be added to the ‘gimmicks ep’ as bonus track.
a live bootleg delivering the full audio recording of this gig is not scheduled yet but will be available via recordoftides.com.
(the track has vanished as single track from bandcamp and is now available as unlisted bonus track of the 'gimmicks ep'.

after massive problems within the last months concerning cancelled releases and shows
we are happy to announce new extensive material by record of tides on zany music to be available on different media.
the ‘purchases’ releases bundle features all new tracks on vinyl, compact disc and download
mostly based upon samples expanding record of tides´ musical style towards post hip hop while still being recognizable for his unique style.
sven piayda started to work on the new pieces back in december 2020 and finished the bundle in spring 2021.
all tracks have been mastered by michael schreiber to grand a transparent and punchy sound for all tracks of the ‘purchases’ series.





the upcoming series of releases starts with the ‘purchases ep’ available on limited edition 12” black vinyl only.
it features six tracks which also appear on the album which is supposed to be released as final item.
the vinyl is available june 4 via bandcamp and exclusively from certain local record stores which will be announced here.
(the ep might be sold out quickly, you might contact us for new items to arrive.)

recordoftides.bandcamp.com/album/purchases-ep





the vinyl release is followed by a digital only and free ‘gimmicks ep’
which contains 10 tracks which have been outtakes of the forthcoming album or additions after the album was already finished.
the ‘gimmicks ep’ features mabel e. hicast and primal scapes (a.k.a. michael schreiber) on single tracks.

recordoftides.bandcamp.com/album/purchases

the covers, sleeve designs and music videos are inspired by artworks or pictures
which appear on walls in animated shows like ‘family guy’ or ‘the simpsons’.
sven piayda started a series of works aiming to create pictures looking like they could appear as artworks in theses animated shows.
the videos escorting the album also feature the flat cartoon look in combination with
the computer animated movements which also refers to contemporary animated tv shows.

update 2021-06-28: our dear friend thierry massard has delivered a review on ‘purchases’ via nocoVision calling it a masterpiece:

… the less "wise" musicologists, and producers of sounds with a wavering memory, nourished by the spoils of their elders,
must now worry about their durability - melodic lines supported or skilfully crushed, rhythmics in precarious balance,
‘purchases’ has the advantage of not immediately revealing all its luxuriant richness.
[…] satisfying themselves with delight, with the happiness of a story once again in progress - masterpiece!

a big thank you to thierry, once again!
have a look on the full review over at nocovision.blogspot.com



check out the video for 'brazil pot one' as directed by sven piayda.





update 2021-07-02: the ‘purchases’ album was supposed to be the final release of the ‘purchases’ series, now zany music adds another ep to the series:

zany music has released a new video for ‘horns of paradise’ by record of tides which is once again directed by matthias danberg.

the new video is believed to be the last video for the album, which is available from bandcamp and archive.org.

more or less exactly ten years after the release of AESTATE´s last album ‘carbonized’ and about 14 years after the debut album
zany music releases digital reissues of the three iconic albums. each bundle contains the original album tracks in maximum sound quality
completed by bonus material expanding the running time of each album to about 90 minutes.
additionally the reissues feature processed or reworked cover artworks reflecting the history of the releases.

zany music originally released all albums primarily on compact disc while putting the maximum quantity on the disc.
the albums were therefore limited and optimized for their medium.
the label also put out the albums as digital download but delivering only medium quality mp3s because of web space issues.
now the albums are available via bandcamp, added to the record of tides discography and no longer limited in length.

let´s have a closer look to the digital reissues:

AESTATE (debut album, 2007)
contains the original album plus bonus track ‘plad 4040’. the cover features a darker colour at the lower edge of the font.

recordoftides.bandcamp.com/album/aestate

SUPERFLAT (2008)
contains the original album plus an approximately 22 minute excerpt of AESTATE´s live set as performed at
ruhr in love open air techno festival in oberhausen in 2008 as line out recording as bonus track.
the album originally featured two cover versions for the compact disc version, the digital version also contained an alternate cover.
the reissue cover merges these three versions creating a more colourful appearance.

recordoftides.bandcamp.com/album/superflat

CARBONIZED (2011)
contains the original album plus bonus tracks ‘tync shaft’ (originally released on the 5th anniversary label sampler by digital kunstrasen in 2010) and
‘renites’ (originally released on the 10th anniversary audio visual label sampler by crazy language in 2016).
the original cover featured sven piayda´s ‘herbarium show’ tableau (2010) but as the group has never been happy with this choice,
the reissue cover shows renderings done during the same production period using the same input material
delivering different abstract structures while keeping the original colours now.

recordoftides.bandcamp.com/album/carbonized

all covers are supposed to be optimized for downscaled presentation as well for print.
you may like to read the press release and collected reviews:

AESTATE digital reissue albums press release

collected reviews on the 2011 album CARBONIZED by AESTATE
collected reviews on the 2008 album SUPERFLAT by AESTATE
collected reviews on the 2007 debut by AESTATE

the first announcement of digital reissues has been posted on april 1st on AESTATE´s mostly inactive facebook site.
as you see, this has not been april fool´s…
however, chris huff and sven piayda are not working on new AESTATE material,
‘renites’ may remain the group´s final track.



updade 2021-04-18: following a statement by the szeniale team we do not expect the festival to take place as scheduled.
record of tides is not going to play on june 19, 2021.
alternate dates or concepts have not been communicated so we do not expect sven piayda to play live in 2021.
record of tides was supposed to be supported by contemporary dancer josie kalies as well as singer 1satzleiter.

after a remix ep and collaborative releases with primal scapes, all notes off and 1satzleiter,
’black album‘ is still the current and last solo album by record of tides.
as piayda announced skipping a new release we are happy to finally present a new video directed by matthias danberg
for the track ‘vogh beats2’ from the 2020 album. danberg and piayda have finally brought results to their long term announced collaboration,
the new video is based upon danberg´s ‘bee’ movies which had been in recent exhibitions is only slightly edited to fit the music.
as the credit still above indicates, there might be more than one video done from merging the black album with bee movies.

instead of promoting new music, the video focuses on the recent solo work released about one year ago.
recently there is no info on plans for releasing new music.

because of unexpected technical difficulties the video will be available by march 28, 2021.

after two remarkable releases with primal scapes and lockdown based studio projects we like to announce discontinuation of certain projects.
as it has been mentioned in the journal and facebook, piayda finished a new record of tides album
which was supposed to be released as ‘post internet’ in spring.
the album was believed to be released on the hamburg based netlabel kreislauf.organisation.
even if label and artist have anticipated the release, negotiations on how to do it have come to nothing back in january.

now piayda has decided to skip the release even if putting it out on zany music would have been an option.
just like ‘yellowcake’ the new piece ‘post internet’ will remain finished but remain in the archive.
tracks of both albums have been features in live sets but are not available apart from bootlegs.
the reduction of releases is supposed to help focussing on a future release featuring different formats and even videos.
‘yellowcake’ and ‘post internet’ will remain unavailable until further notice.

today primal scapes releases the new ‘white twin’ ep
featuring mostly alternative versions of songs from the album ‘entertain’ next to two new tracks.
the familiar tracks are once again featuring sven piayda on guitar and chris huff on bass.
even if michael schreiber has created new mixes with new drums and vocals the songs feature bass and guitar tracks
recorded during sessions in summer and autumn 2020, which have been slightly rearranged only.
so this ep is an appendix to the album expanding the range of styles.

michael schreiber states on his intention:
‘the principle of keep it simple in matters of music means to cut an idea down to the vital core.
as a positive side effect of condensation new space appears to rethink and recreate a track.
this is where the idea for these six previously released tracks came from.’



'white twin' is available digitally only via primal-scapes.de and zany music.
you can still get your physical copy of ‘entertain’ on compact disc, please write to studio[at]svenpiayda.com

this year we are celebrating 15 years of live electronica. after playing live with bands like apologies and dissident(en) club,
sven piayda debuted with live performed electronica at halle luja in tönisvorst back in 2005.
escorted by heiner neumann for live visuals the digital artists took the stage while being announced as Sellafield.
the group split up shortly after because of schedule difficulties while piayda focussed on productions to be released as AESTATE.
now, in weird 2020, we are looking back on one and a half decade of (audio-visual) live electronica (sometimes even with guitar), dj and hdj sets.
it feels like time for a little celebration.

sven piayda has already stated that record of tides´ performance at marienkirche in herne might have been his best gig
since playing szeniale festival in gelsenkirchen back in summer 2019. we are happy to finally present video footage documenting the show.

performing a fast live version of ‘granada interface’ (as found on the ‘aural park ep’)
and a new track featuring computer voiced vocals believed to be titled as ‘becausetheinternet’.
based upon footage taken during october 30 a second video snipped is supposed to be around and may came up.
record of tides performed a compact audio only live set at marienkirche in herne for the ‘feuer und flamme’ festival.

new album 'entertain' by primal scapes out october 30, 2020.
written, performed and produced by michael schreiber
featuring record of tides´ sven piayda and AESTATE´s chris huff.
watch and/or listen to 'humming project'.

more info: www.primal-scapes.de/news.php?news=8
www.primal-scapes.de


michael schreiber states: from the first ideas in april the project has developed in the following months of song writing and recording.
it didn't become a typical electronic album but rather a mix of electronic and organic elements.
besides some personal leaning how nice this mixture can grow together, it has also provided further learning effects:
if you put two things that are good on their own in one pot and just stir, it doesn't always taste good - but only if you simplify the original recipe.
through the collaboration with sven piayda, chris huff and jan van aachen it has become a typical and equally untypical album for me - with an exciting colour.
I am more than satisfied and excited with the result that it is finally finished.
as always, you can't count the hours that go into such a project, some tracks now carry the internal revision number 15,
because they have struggled with their hands and feet to fit into the overall picture. also in this project I have learned a lot,
especially the combination of electronic music with hand-played real instruments offers interesting ways to make the clear to cool electronic structures more organic.
see www.primal-scapes.com



update 2020_10_12: we are happy to announce that the physical copies have arrived and will be definitely available by october 30.
place your orders now via www.primal-scapes.de. signed copies are also believed to be around, don´t forget to ask for it! more soon!

this year´s KURZstummfilmfestival will deal with number ‘5’ in all its contributions. the festival will also premieres sven piayda´s ‘aftermath’,
a video project started back 2019 directly after announcing the new topic but without deciding if the piece will be published or not.

‘aftermath’ is drafted as a horror movie for elementary school students using post internet art aesthetics once again with music by record of tides.
the heavy weight of bad grades (‘5’ is the second worst grade to get in germany)
seems to reach into the peace of the summer break symbolizing the students resort.
within the aftermaths the echo of not being good enough remains omnipresent.
the short film is only five minutes long and features material taken back in 2004 as well as digital animation done in 2019.

the KURZstummfilmfestival will take place on september 26, 3pm at zeche carl in essen.
caused by the corona crisis you have to register for participation as the maximum number of visitors is limited to 50 people.
(please register here) additionally the festival will screen the contributions on youtube,
starting with uploads in september 22 and having all videos available by september 25.

piayda is attending to the festival for the third time as chosen by the jury having shown ‘granada interface (the lost tapes)’
in 2019 and ‘die entdeckung europas’ in 2018.

the lockdown/quarantine situation made live events impossible for the last months.
record of tides did the last av live performance on february 8,2020 at medienbunker duisburg.
in the journal piayda announced being pretty unhappy with the performance and announced to figure out
‘which context could be suitable and how I can turn it into what I want it to be’
(2020-01-30 beyond the visible: genius in context | entry by sven, update 2020-03-07).
there haven´t been live activities since, but a live bootleg of the reconstructed performance was discussed.
now there are rumours of an upcoming performance even in 2020. we hope to deliver more info soon.

one of the record of tides albums I have been working on is ‘gift remixes’ or ‘remixes for trash’.
back in the days of dissident(en) club I was doing remixes to fill the b-sides and special editions and to keep my electronica work going.
now, while recording with michael schreiber I am thrilled again by just recording guitar tracks in a digital studio without caring for anything else.
as I like the sound of guitars in combination with programmed beats I was checking similar stuff of my discography
and ended up with the flamma piayda complex, record of tides´ ‘edurance’ (if you want to put it into this line)
and dissident(en) club, of course. I still believe we did great stuff back in the days of our short existence but only released two album on compact disc.
I came up twice with the idea to re-release it as free digital version (there is no money in it anyway)
but all my request have not been taken up and I am pretty bored of trying to bring something back that was not my opus maximus
(even if I still believe it is worth listening to it today).
however, there are a bunch of remixes and have surprisingly found even more remixes of the ‘science fiction’ era which I had forgotten.
so what I’ll do is skip my attempts to bring back the original albums and keep seeking for unreleased snippets and remixes
so I have material which is under my domain so I can put it out whenever I want.
this may be in near or far future but we should bring some stuff in shape here.

update 2020_08_10 via svenpiayda.com/news:
the record of tides track ‘exxa’ is featured on episode 534 of the weekly sundae podcast as hosted by stefan schulz.

update 2020_08_13 via svenpiayda.com/blog:
back on march 22 right at the beginning of the lockdown/quarantine situation
the british post rock band gallops offered stems of their track ‘darkjewel’ via instagram to be remixed and released for charity. [...]

without saying to much I can state that I was a gallops fan, their album ‘yours sincerely, dr. hardcore’ is still one of my favourites,
I discovered it back in 2013 and still have it in my car, guess.
a little later the band surprisingly split up but reunited a few years later and delivered a new album featuring ‘darkjewel’.
I knew and have the track even if I did not have the album. when the call for remixes came in was really thrilled to work with them.
I did the production within one day and it had to end as the machine was pushed to the limit and refused to handle more tracks.
of course, I wanted to be one of the chosen ones to be on the release for charity, even if I could not figure out what kind of context this was supposed to be.
I contacted them via instagram to ask for a deadline (there was none) and took two attempts to deliver the wav-file.
before the conversation fell apart completely (no-one was answering or even reading my messages via insta or fb anymore)
I often felt like texting with a stoned teenager. the guy on the other end never put his name under the two-liners.
however they have kicked the project into the long grass.
I have requested a few times if there will be a release or if I can release it myself but stayed without answer.
the band´s website vanished so I guess they must have split up again.
that´s bad for them but what really grinds me is to make people work for nothing which is a lack of valuation and professionalism.
being musicians themselves, they should know better. plus, the ‘charity’ idea is also scraped.

I have been a fan but now there is a bad aftertaste.
however, I have decided to put it out myself, probably via /CAMP and I trust your ability to find yourself a charity project you want to donate for.

as you might know, michael schreiber and sven piayda have been collaborating for the well appreciated album ‘altered stems’ and
have been discussing further collaborations since. next to music production it is remarkable that schreiber is also a trained code programmer
who has already created code for well-known artists and is now collaborating with the studio for generative image production.
they have already finished a mini series wich remains unreleased but have also created series of posters escorting the 'aural park' project.

also they are recently working in studio together for new music. piayda has already announced to not put out any more music in 2020,
so it is believed that they are working on material for schreiber´s project ‘all notes off’. more soon!

michael wrote in advance of the recording:
I am very excited to try new things and work on new material together with sven.
think I have to check if there is a red carpet anywhere so I can roll it out in front of the studio.
a little later this ‘preview’ was found online, once again with a comment from michael:
a track preview on the upcoming album ‘entertain’ - in case in plan will be released in 2020.
the track was done in a single recording session in another collaboration with record of tides
and as always has been a pleased in co-working with high output. background of the track:
one of my customers is running a real ‘heavy metal’ business and the machine park and industrial space is really impressive.

the common recording sessions appear to be a lot more ambitioned than expected.
up to now it is believed that the material will be released in autumn with a yet unknown project name.
also there are rumours that AESTATE´s chris huff has shown up in studio to contribute bass guitar parts for certain songs.
something is coming up. please be patient and stay excited!




caused by the constantly changing weather situation and strict restrictions in public parks the ‘aural park’ project ends without any public listening event.
there have been test events by the team in spring, but it was not possible to schedule an event within the announced timespan.
we hope to bring back the event next summer, the studio is considering changes like an open call to feature further artists working with sound.
the ‘aural park’ vinyl edition has sold out quickly. as zany music considers to put out more music on vinyl there might be a second run of the ‘aural park’ vinyl next year.
if you are interested, please contact studio[at]svenpiayda.com, so we can put your name on the list (and will not give your data to anyone else.)
the ep is also available via /CAMP. by purchasing the vinyl, poster or any other product you will get full access to music, videos and texts featured in the /CAMP.

the focus is on braucks this time while piayda acts as host. therefore the episode is called 'selfie mit sven'. chris braucks adds in is escorting text:
the guest of this episode is a returner. on may 18th sven piayda was already here to talk about his art.
at that time the idea was born to turn it the other way around and ask questions himself.
a fitting idea for the end of season. the podcast will take a break over august. sven should have his own podcast anyway.

caused by the aftermath of the lockdown situation, there is no open exhibition on display featuring work by sven piayda
(with the exception of the permanent exhibition at galerie treppenhaus and the guest participation at edel extra in nuremberg).
all scheduled shows had been postponed or were cancelled. also there are no live dates or dj sets scheduled to take place recently.
the studio has used the lockdown situation to work on an exhibition project escorted by a vinyl release
merging concepts of experiencing and collecting art and music: aural park.

today sven piayda and the studio in cooperation with zany music reveal a new summer project being a mixture of exhibition and listening event.
within the aural park project piayda presents some of his recent sound works as well as exclusively produced versions
of record of tides tracks in private and public parks where they will be played by small music devices.
all events are supposed to take place in an open air context, therefor (and depending on the weather)
the listening events will be announced only a few days in advance via facebook events.

to start the project the four exclusive versions from tracks originally found on the 2017 record of tides album ‘solna’
are released today on zany music and are available on transparent vinyl as limited edition only.
the vinyl comes with additional transparent sleeve with record of tides logo sticker.
as the release is limited to 100 copies only, there are less than hundred copies available.
as there have been numerous pre-orders, the 12’’ is sold out today on the day of release.
in case of being interested in purchasing a copy anyway,
make sure to contact the studio to be registered for a reissue of the album.
escorting the vinyl ep, record of tides ‘aural park’ is also available as mp3 bundle with compact disc sized and edited artwork.
the digital version is available via /CAMP, a password protected area only open to customer having purchased the vinyl or any other sven piayda related content.
the vinyl purchase also enables to customers to receive the AP ADDS mp3 bundle,
a three-track-60-minute hdj set featuring tracks of inspiring artists.

to participate in aural park listening events (announced only a few days in advance caused by dependence on the weather)

and has be reworked by all notes off. the video had been released yesterday in advance and has already received beautiful feedback,
which we do not want to hold back:
you guys are really killing me too, yo. you're the guys who mess up the amateur competition,
because they've outgrown it by miles, but (thank god) steadfastly refuse to leave for the anonymous,
friends-of-the-old-days-you-don't-know-anymore-professionals-camp. I say this without envy, but with a certain sigh.




all notes off and record of tides have been both performing live for ‘beats im bunker’ festival in duisburg.
schreiber has also been recognizable in 2020 for participating in ‘heavy rotation 2019’ and reviews on recent releases.

The story behind the creation of "altered stems" is extraordinary - so I want to tell about it.

Sven (Record Of Tides) and me met at the "Electric Café Ruhr" events and both played live at the same gig "Beats im Bunker" early 2020 in Duisburg.
End of March 2020 in the "stay at home" days while finishing the last steps top my debut album doing mastering/mixing steps I needed to reset my ears and mind frequently.
One evening I have been listening to some great tracks from Record Of Tides.
A thing about music is when you listen to something that triggers you it digs into the back of your mind.

Some days later with a good glas of wine I remembered "Mountains" from the album "Collected Riffing Works" and had a spontaneous idea.
Without any hesitation I neither asked him or informed him and just recorded some vocals above the track.
The result was nice but it felt strange sending him the track late night with some explaining words
- what would his reaction be like?
On the very next morning I checked the messages and was pleased and relieved at the same moment
about his positive and kind reaction and he agreed we could release the track.

Sven wrote that he might be thinking of a remix album and I replied that I could do a second one if he likes to
- he said: "Go ahead". That was the moment things really got rolling and within a few days the second rework was done.
He tried something with one of my tracks and I was flashed and knew what he was talking about previously.
The moment when you listen to a rework of one of your own tracks that kicks you - is beautiful and like a gift when you get a different point of view to your own work.
The idea of getting a complete album together got clearer as speed of things increased
so the complete creation process of writing and recording happened in around ten days.

These days were an astonishing and pleasant experience - mixing our musical influences led to surprising results for both of us.

Hope you enjoy!

within the episode you can hear snippets of the record of tides track ‘dawn reversed (aural park version)’ as it is supposed to be released on vinyl soon.

the escorting text states:
if you take a look at his website, which is well worth seeing and extensively documented,
you can quickly see in how many disciplines the mülheim-based artist sven piayda has competed.
photography, conceptual installation art, music, video are just a few of them. we talk about the urge behind the creative process,
the truthfulness of photos, the role of the self-image in social media and the mildness of old age that extends the taste for music.



the podcast is available on common platforms and can be found directly over at skeleton-crew.de/na017.
you will find all episodes of ‘natürliche ausrede’ over at skeleton-crew.de/na and anchor.fm/natuerlicheausrede.

it is our massive pleasure to announce the release of 'black album', the sixth full length album by record of tides.
the album is out once again on the hamburg based netlabel kreislauf.org and is available digitally and free.
kreislauf.org has already released the reissue of record of tides´ debut 'timber' from 2004 in 2014,
the follow up 'vessel' in 2016, the 2017 album ‘solna’ and the 2018 album ‘endurance’.

‘black album’ has been programmed, recorded and produced between autumn 2016 and spring 2019.
the album features 10 tracks and is mostly inspired by aphex twin and boards of canada (also some autechre for deconstructed parts) again,
there are no guitars or any acoustic instruments on the album.
the album is prominent for bocesque sounds and melodies while contrasting complex beat programming.

some new tracks have already appeared in record of tides live sets of the last three years, sometimes in alternative versions.
you may like to check the bootlegs and snippets floating in the net for new sounds.

kreislauf.org label boss andreas buttweiler and sven piayda have been discussing the holding of the release date
(which had been around behind closed doors before) in times of the on-going crises.
both agreed that releasing the album digitally only does not need any close distance personal contact.
also enjoying new music is primarily something personal you probably do for yourself,
in your living room, your car, via headphones in the garden or doing sports. this release does not conflict with current social distancing rules.
even feedback, discussions and reviews usually appear in digital media. feedback is well appreciated.

‘black album’ is available now and is released via
kreislauf.org and is distribued via archive.org.



zany music has finally released a new video for the record of tides track 'snow_1-7_140'
in advance of the upcoming release of the `black album’ on kreislauf.org. the video portrays a balloon hovering around in a basement room.
the balloon, by the way, had been a funny gift by dj kent granyon for sven piayda´s 40th birthday.
the footage therefore is believed to be taken in 2017 during the production of a video installation piece,
which has not been shown yet. the video is once again directed by sven piayda.
'snow_1-7_140' has already been released back in spring 2018 as part of the vinyl only ‘granada interface ep’.

you can watch the video over at vimeo.com/408798106 or in the video section below.

there have ben rumours around announcing record of tides for an av live set to be streamed within the 2k2d festival schedueld for april 30, 2020.
actually, sven was requested to perform but as there was no technical way to create a convincing event the show was quickly cancelled again.
the cancellation is not related to a general criticism of streamed perormances to be done from home during lockdown.
zany music has announced to have lots of great material as this may be the time for releasing music, especially if the commercial aspect has no priority.
according to the recent situation and schedule 'black album' is not supposed to be the last release for 2020.
nevertheless, no live performances or streams are planned recently.

recently, no live dates, listening events or online activities are scheduled.
sven is recently back in studio to finish long time projects as ‘yellowcake’ and ‘collected riffing works 2’.
also a series of live bootlegs (some even reconstructed and/or extended) are supposed to be released.
within the art studio piayda is continuing work on the ‘multiverse’ show (no fixed date yet).


update 2020-04-17: zany music has finally released a new video for the record of tides track 'snow_1-7_140'
in advance of the upcoming release of the `black album’ on kreislauf.org. the video portrays a balloon hovering around in a basement room.
the balloon, by the way, had been a funny gift by dj kent granyon for sven piayda´s 40th birthday.
the footage therefore is believed to be taken in 2017 during the production of a video installation piece,
which has not been shown yet. the video is once again directed by sven piayda.
'snow_1-7_140' has already been released back in spring 2018 as part of the vinyl only ‘granada interface ep’.

you can watch the video over at vimeo.com/408798106 or in the video section below.

michael schreiber aka all notes off created a beautiful rework of the record of tides track ‘mountains’ as taken from ‘collected riffing works’.
the quite spontaneous production and release is promoted by a video which is also directed by schreiber.
the rework follows the given minimalism of the original track while adding english as well as german vocals.
sven piayda announced to be stunned by the rework and hopes for more treatments of his tracks by schreiber and others.
he also admits ‘mountains’ to be the least track he would have expected for treatment.
a remix/rework compilation might be released when enough great material is available.
additionally, he is believed to be recently working on ‘collected riffing works 2’.

update 2020-04-08: record of tides live mate and reworking collaborator michael schreiber a.k.a. all notes off
has finally released his debut album as free download bundle on his website over at all-notes-off.de.
on ‘rise and decay’ schreiber demonstrates his full range of electronic styles from ambient electronica to dark pop and a lot in between.
you might already know schreiber from the 2019 heavy rotation list,
his live appearance next to record of tides at beats im bunker festival in february 2020
and from his rework of ‘mountains’ which can originally be found on ‘collected riffing works’.
however, all notes off is an artist for your watch list for the debut album and beyond, live gigs and remixes. recommended!

as everyone is affected in the one or other way by the on-going corona crisis and shutdown situation
sven piayda is also considering ways to present material to make your time in quarantine more pleasant.
once again - if possible - stay home, work isolated or distanced,
be as rational and strict as you can, so we can go back to normal life as soon as possible.

as a fist offer zany music has updated the catalogue and download links, you can download numerous releases by record of tides,
AESTATE and renert trio for free. you can download and stream all record of tides albums directly from recordoftides.com.
(as long as it has been released digitally). the new site is also easily accessible via smartphone.



also zany music has preponed the release of MCPMF ‘thug life’ to offer more material for you to enjoy at home.
it is available via /CAMP now. next to the new hip hop mixtape, you can still download the 2017
compilation album ‘driftings’ by record of tides as well as the 2010 AESTATE live gig at audiodigitale.
additionally you can watch the ruhrpreis trailer and you can access all text available for the 2018 piayda solo show ‘adaptation (you´re mine)’.
the /CAMP is usually only available and accessible to people owning artworks by sven piayda or records (physical or digital) by AESTATE,
record of tides and affiliated projects, so we can offer changing content even after purchasing a certain piece.
now we are opening the /CAMP for everyone to download and enjoy the exclusive content. to access please register via studio[at]svenpiayda.com.
(your email will not given to third parties or used for newsletters or any other purpose.)



all about the release: back in august 2018 sven piayda reported in his blog about the story of this photograph:
one of my friends asked where this well furnished interior was taken (his guess was america…
(it was actually taken in an apartment in whitsable, england during some days off in summer 2018))
and that it looks like the album cover form a hip suburban rapper. well, so this is what the cover looks like now.
now I need to work on my rap skills to blow the scene away…
I could do some lame cloud rap on idm beats… maybe an new electronica album is more likely - or maybe post rock? you´ll never know.
however, inspired by the fictional cover and serious interest in rap and hip hop music, piayda has been working on a mixtape for months.
it is mainly based upon tracks which had been frequently listened to during work out and sports.
it features quite popular, rare and less known hip hop related music which is merged into a full set.
the artist or stage name MCPMF as well as the title 'thig life' are actualy not to be taken serious as they play with rap clichés.
nevertheless, the mixtape is a serous interest in hip hop and rap music.
the mixtape is available as mp3 and downloadable in the /CAMP exclusively.

caused by the on-going lockdown situation sven piayda is recently working in studio on finishing long-time projects.
this is not about new music but mixdowns and renderings of off/on-projects to be finished. ‘yellowcake’ (working title) is supposed to be an album
(or collection of tracks) consisting mainly of sample based productions. also the work ‘collected riffing works II’ is going on with mixing and working on post-production
adding an album to CRW I with a similar style. recently there are no release dates fixed for these projects and there is no plan to put out the music now.
additionally there are no live dates or listening events. there have been rumours about a live date in may but the dates have been turned down before.
there are plans to release a hip hop mixtape via /CAMP, also kreislauf.org is believed to be working on something.

record of tides will not appear live in 2019 anymore, but you can discover a sound piece by sven piayda at SG1 in duisburg.
the piece is entitled 'if and only if mash-up' and combines different sound works in a one hour loop.
the SG1 opens and plays the piece every monday from 5 to 8 pm until december 23.
new av live sets are supposed to be scheduled for 2020. more soon!

the sound installation complements the exhibition concept with another aesthetic channel.
in the 60-minute loop piayda reviews his sound works and weaves them into an installative composition.
strongly medially processed works by different composers and interpreters, such as the bee gees, charles trenet, pantera,
antonio montanari and scott mckenzie. the sounds are mixed with the noise of saturn´s rings, the eternally descending shepard sound and
the pitched down humming of the leap second. a computer voice talks about in an essay by samuel taylor coleridge
on the essence of art in order to turn later into a variation of yes and no.
also in the sound work there are references to pop culture, science and art history and
it reflects medial possibilities of presentation, reflecting, preserving and processing.

it is our massive pleasure to announce the release of 'collected riffing works', the fifth full length album by record of tides.
the album is quite surprisingly released once again by zany music and and is distributed by achive.org as digital version only.
the album surprised in style, sound and composition, also there have been no promotion in advance which is quite unusual for zany music.

'collected riffing works' is a collection of ten tracks which have been produced over the period of the past ten years which have been waiting to be released finally.
as the title already mentions, the album contains mainly guitar riffing based music focussing on the rock music influences of record of tides.
this release is actually no change in style, sven is recently working on electronic and guitar based music.

some heavy guitar sounds have also apperad already in the 2019 live performances, actually none of them had been taken from 'collected riffing works'.
however, record of tides may appear live in january 2020 again. more soon. 'collected riffing works' is now available via zany music and distributed via archive.org.

we have been waiting for this announcement for quite a while now. record of tides aka sven piayda did some live shows in 2019.
fortunately, some of them have been recorded and are available for free download now.
in may record of tides played among miss j-by and lemon & pilgrim at galerie der disziplinen in hamm for the electronica kulturnacht.
the performance had been recorded by dennis lemon via line and had been slightly edited afterwards and is now available for download.

the electric café open air festival at werdener wiesn was not recorded unfortunately, the bootleg is reconstructed by using parts of the used files combined with ambience.
it actually features the tracks performed plus an alternate ending, it does not cover all the live sounds which have actually been played.
therefore the bootleg is called ‘reconstructed & extended’.

unfortunately the show at szeniale has not been recorded, it is believed to have been very similar to the performance in hamm.

additionally zany music still offers the performance in eisenheim for electric café in 2018.
so zany music offers three quite different live performances featuring microphone, line or reconstructed sound.

check zany music to find the bootlegs for download, further downloads and the full zany music catalogue.

record of tides was also scheduled to play on october 12 at makroscope in mülheim among further electronic acts,
unfortunately record of tides will not perform because of schedule difficulties.

last saturday record of tides aka sven piayda performed a secret audio only live set at electric café oberhausen.
next to record of tides artists like inter:pol, donk and others performed that night at october 6.
even when the gig event was public, no information was spread in advance.

the record of tides set was only about 24 minutes long featuring tracks like ‘the saints’, ‘care’ and ‘harvest’ from the current album ‘endurance’.
next to the known tracks the middle of the set was dominated by two or three quite abstract and new tracks.
fortunately the performance was recorded and is available for free as digital bootleg. it is published via archive.org and can be downloaded from here.

piayda has announced to return to electric café with public relations probably in 2019.
the very different gig at eurasia electronica this summer is also supposed to be released as digital bootleg in the future.

eurasia electronica interview

2018_10_09 via svenpiayda.com/news




it is our massive pleasure to announce the release of 'endurance', the fourth full length album by record of tides.
the album is released once again by the hamburg based netlabel kreislauf.org and and is distributed by achive.org and sonicsquirrel.net.

‘endurance’ has been programmed, recorded and produced in summer 2017 when piayda returned home from hospital after having a surgery to fix
a pilon fracture (check the journal: 2017-10-03 the man who fell to earth (and broke a leg) | entry by sven) and using the time for a new album.
the album features 20 tracks and is mostly inspired by aphex twin, boards of canada (in the pre-warp era) and guitar work by queen and seefeel.
it is supposed to be the best work of record of tides so far, accorting to kreislauf.org label boss andreas buttweiler.

as ‘endurance’ features about 108 minutes of music it is difficult to put it on a physical release. zany music is recently
working on a cd version reducing the tracklist while adding an exclusive track to it. we will announce when the physical release will be available.

french musician and blogger thierry massard is pretty into the music of record of tides and finds some great words on the album.
(please note: the english version of the original french text is a machine translation, please apologise)

Un an ... Une année (moins un jour) après le très remarquable et remarqué "Solna" pour l'impérieux Kreislauf, Sven Piayda (aka ROT)
nous invite à maintenir temporellement notre avidité (peu raisonnable, admettons-le) pour le bel ouvrage. 20 pièces ciselées durant un exil convalescent,
durant lequel, Sven a mis en oeuvre cette magnifique faculté d'un regard distant (le recul), associée à la cruelle et objective réalité d'une proximité contrainte.
Le résultat ? Fort loin d'une hypothétique concentration d'atomes crochus agglomérés, monolithiques et prévisibles en pareille situation créative,
"Endurance" démontre la grande cohérence d'un esprit vagabond et prompt à ouvrir de nouvelles pistes.
Si d'aventure, l'endurance peut parfois conférer à une certaine résistance restrictive, ici il n'en est rien,
Record Of Tides nous régale de saveurs et de contrastes - Un exhausteur de goût!

One year... One year (less a day) after the very remarkable and noticed "Solna" for the imperious Kreislauf, Sven Piayda (aka ROT)
invites us to maintain temporarily our greed (not very reasonable, let us admit it) for the beautiful work. 20 pieces chiselled during a convalescent exile,
during which, Sven implemented this magnificent faculty of a distant glance (the retreat), associated with the cruel and objective reality of a constrained proximity.
The result? Far from a hypothetical concentration of agglomerated, monolithic and predictable chemistry in such a creative situation,
"Endurance" demonstrates the great coherence of a vagabond mind and quick to open new paths.
If adventure, endurance can sometimes confer a certain restrictive resistance, here it is nothing of the sort,
Record Of Tides regales us with flavours and contrasts - An enhancer of taste!

we are looking back on the first eurasia electronica festival taking place at eurasia and pilgrim art. the small experimental festival
was headlined by record of tides aka sven piayda and closed by a shorter live house set by lemon&pilgrim as well by
a dj set by dennis lemon and rees archibald turning eurasia art into a club. the night was opened by mjellmë aka swantje lichtenstein
with word based sound performance followed by very special guest rees archibald from australia
with a short drone performance. originally achim zepezauer confirmed to play live but could not show up because of schedule difficulties.

this was the first time of record of tides live since 2015, playing material from the upcoming album as well as tracks (or snippets) from older releases
and stuff released as AESTATE. as record of tides was the only act using visuals we have collected multiple photos
taken at that night which we will online within the next weeks.
we would like to thank maria zharkova, michaela best, grischo schlüsi and matthias danberg for delivering photo and video material.

the festival was developed and curated by roman pilgrim and sven piayda giving a forum to contemporary electronica
and are looking back on a night of great performances and a working concept.
further events may come. we like to thank swantje lichtenstein, rees archibald, dennis lemon and especially roman pilgrim for making this experiment happen.
