christopher terhart´s experimental and immersive short film ‘kaivalya’ premiered
on april 18, 2024
at südbahnhof in krefeld featuring a soundtrack by piayda abased upon track
released as record of tides.
a few days ago the LISALUNA shortfilm festival (curated by christina böckler,
luise hoyer and elisabeth höller)
took place in the KOM'MA-theater in duisburg showing sven piayda´s video for
the record of tides track ‘refound’.
it was great to experience this piece on the big screen!
2024
has been a successful year for record of tides. zany music released three albums
within this single year:
'playground magrathea', 'common findings' and 'love mural'.
summed up, these albums from the 'purchases' feature 37 unique tracks
merging IDM, post hip-hop and experimental exploring an elaborated and distinctive
sound.
at the end of this year zany music celebrates these albums by giving something
back:
now you will receive mp3 versions of all three albums by just buying a single
one. (this offer will end with this year.)
fans who already bought one of these albums last year will receive a download
link asap. check your inboxes!
once
again, on december 21 (actually the shortest day in the year),
many cinemas and organizations celebrate the long darkness on the shortest day
with short film festivals.
the LISALUNA shortfilm festival is curated by christina böckler, luise hoyer
and elisabeth höller.
this year it will take place in the KOM'MA-theater in duisburg.

in 2018 sven piayda received the lisaluna 2018 award for 'never is a long time'.
(in the head picture you see christina böckler next to luise hoyer (left) and
piayda during the awarding ceremony of the festival.
you can see more pictures in the exhibitions
section.) piayda´s 'portrait of violetta' was screened in 2019,
his video for the record of tides track 'illumination interlude' was shown in
2021 without him attending personally.
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.
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.
it
is our massive pleasure to announce the release of record of tides´ long-awaited
'love mural' album via zany music on october 11, 2024.
the album was produced in spring and summer in 2024 and mainly inspired by street
art in ehrenfeld (cologne) and frohnhausen (essen).
back in spring piayda already announced to be working on a new record of
tides album reporting two tracks being produced on the island of texel.
'love mural' is the seventh album of the 'purchases'
series, the album is supposed to be the legit follow-up to 'common findings’
(2024)
while using sample-based post-hiphop and idm production. the album also contains
the track ‘snow white’ featuring o.s.cillator.
the video for the track was directed by sven piayda while the album artwork
is (co-)created by long-term collaborator chris huff
merging different image sources among collage, photography and a.i.-generated
imagery mirroring the audio production process.
the album was once again beautifully mastered by michael schreiber
who also brought in the idea for using a.i.-generated voices.
the album and will be available in different digital formats only.
