May 31 & June 3 - Free Lina!

Lina E. has been in custody in Saxony since 2020, for allegedly being a leader of a “criminal organisation“ called Antifa Ost, as police suspect her of being involved with an incident where a group of well-known violent neonazis who were meeting in a restaurant in Eisenach was attacked with hammers and pepperspray by antifascists. More info here: https://www.soli-antifa-ost.org/ May 31 is the final day of the trial of Lina and three other defendants. The public prosecutor's office is demanding up to 8 years in prison and is using the ideological background as a reason, among other things. Despite shaky evidence and a key witness who thinks up everything the public prosecutor would like, it is assumed that the verdicts will be correspondingly high. June 3 is Tag X, a huge solidarity demo on the saturday after the trial. Here are the currently planned demos:

Protest zum Urteil am 31. Mai

Berlin | 17:30 Uhr | vor dem LKA, Tempelhofer Damm 12 | Aufruf

Separating artist, and therefore oeuvre, and biography in contrast to art history still prevails in architectural history, especially with regards to sexual identity and especially so in the German-speaking world. While Philip Johnson in 1996 greeted from the cover of the Gay magazine „Out“ e.g. German postwar heavyweights like Helmut Hentrich or Friedrich Wilhelm Kraemer throughout their lives hid their gayness. This shadowy part of their biographies was the point of departure for Uwe Bresan and Wolfgang Voigt to trace the lives and biographies of gay, lesbian and trans architects. They don’t ask the question of a gay architecture but instead focus on the social, societal and professional surroundings that forced them to hide their sexual identity. In „Gay Architects - Silent Biographies from 18th to 20th Century“ Bresan and Voigt collect 41 biographies ranging from Ernst Georg Sonnin, architect of Hamburg’s famous „Michel“, over Napoleon’s court architects Percier and Fontaine to Paul Rudolph, Horace Gifford and Chen Kuen Lee. With Emilie Winkelmann and Hildegard Schirmacher the authors also included a lesbian and a trans person.

At this point one might argue about the accuracy of the book’s title but in view of the insightful biographical miniatures the authors compiled despite a poor source situation this is negligible. Instead each biography reveals a sometimes less, sometimes more secretive dealing with homosexuality as a result of societal and legal circumstances. In Germany for example Friedrich Wilhelm Kraemer almost lost his chair at TH Braunschweig because in 1950 he had been caught red-handed with a man in a hotel by the police. At this time intercourse between men still was a criminal offence.

An example of outright foul play was the termination of Charles Moore’s tenure as dean of Yale School of Architecture after the university’s committees secretly agreed that Moore was a weak character due to his sexuality.

The latter stories are only two of the 41 told in the book but quite plainly show why it is so important to no longer omit them. Thus the book can only be the starting point for a queer architectural history. An essential and important book!

Electronic Findings: July 2, 2024

I'm going to try something new - posting electronic music that I've found and listened to over the years on here. It'll likely be every other day.

"Untitled 6", Maßstab 1:5 M:I:5 (Wolfgang Voigt), 1997 Abstract, Experimental, Techno

[burlveneer-music]

Økapi & Aldo Kapi's Orchestra - Pardonne​-​moi, Olivier! (feat. Geoff Leigh, Mike Cooper) 16 oiseaux pour Olivier Messiaen - plunderphonics + instrumental overdubs

The album is a plunderphonic parabola of the imaginary world, mystical and ornitological, of the French composer of the XX century, Olivier Messiaen. A sort of birds' catalogue, as Messiaen tried to do during his life. As always, even in this case økapi composed a little sound-collagism opera, which includes a video development. This is the soundtrack of this "movie". For this A/V-project, økapi is co-working with the italian video-artist Simone Memé, part of the collective MoreTv-V. Because of his dixit plunderphonic nature, and for the occasion, økapi involved Geoff Leigh (sax/flute) and Mike Cooper (guitar) into his phantomatic virtual orchestra. Økapi is Filippo Paolini (see also OCD032 K-Mundi), an Italian turntablist and sample cutup artist. Filippo has recorded several solo albums, as well as recording in the duo Metaxu and with the trio Dogon. He has performed live for national Italian State radio broadcasts (RAI) with renowned avant-turntablist, Christian Marclay and collaborates with numerous international artists such as Mike Cooper, Geoff Leigh, Peter Brotzmann, Mike Patton, Matt Gustafson, Zu, Damo Suzuki, Andy EX, Kawabata Makoto, Metamkine…

ØKapi's album releases illustrate his unique and edgy use of turntables and computer beyond the hip-hop school of chopped up music, creating music that veers from orchestral to lounge with quirky experimental electronics that maintain a delicate and spacious sound throughout.

Listed: Tørrfall

Photo by Iver Findlay

Tørrfall are a Norwegian trio who've been playing together since (at least) 2020, recorded their self-titled debut live in August 2021, but just released it this past March. Vocals and synthesizer are provided by Nils Erga (Noxagt, Burning Axis), bass by Kristoffer Riis (Golden Oriole, Staer), and drums by Thore Warland (Golden Oriole, Staer, Burning Axis). Dusted’s Ian Mathers summed up their self-described “psychedelic water music” as “a bad-trip, submarine cousin of the Necks’ Drive By.” Here, all three members talk about 10 releases that could have influenced the Tørrfall record.

Ivor Cutler and Linda Hirst — “Women of the World” (Rough Trade, 1983)

Nils: The Norwegian broadcasting company, NRK, used to have excellent radio DJs. I believe I only heard this song once upon release, and as a nine-year-old boy, I never caught who sang it, what it was called, or what the lyrics were all about. And then it was gone! But the impossibly catchy melody of the chorus – the song is essentially one single mantra-like, cascading chorus – never left me, and as I grew older, I would replay it in my head repeatedly, hundreds and hundreds of times. In 1999, Jim O'Rourke did a cover version, which I accidentally got to hear, and I was stunned. There it was again, finally! That song!  

Cocteau Twins — The Spangle Maker (4AD, 1984)

Nils: Growing up in the Stavanger region in the 1980s, the UK was never far away. Back then, you could hop on the ferry to Newcastle or fly directly to London or Aberdeen (you'd be there in an hour or so). My older sister brought this back from one of her trips to the Thatcher Empire. Back then, I loved all that 4AD stuff, but in hindsight, Cocteau Twins were the best of all the then-current acts she so generously introduced me to. And Elisabeth Fraser never sounded more lost, more gothic, more out-of-this-world than on this one (the Treasure LP that came out the same year is rather wonderful too). Dream pop, indeed.

Basic Channel et al. — Any 12" under any moniker (Basic Channel, 1990s)

Nils: I can't remember the first Basic Channel-related 12" that I heard, but I remember becoming instantly hooked – what is this sound? – so I started collecting everything I could find during those early days of the Internet. When listening to this music now, whether it's Main Street, Maurizio, Basic Channel or Rhythm & Sound (preferably loudly and on big speakers), I still feel like time is slowly dissolving. Or it bends and can no longer be trusted. And often, continuing down this path of truly psychedelic techno, I still find myself lost in the strangely lit woods of Wolfgang Voigt's late 90s GAS records, which are equally transcendental.

Steely Dan — Gaucho (MCA, 1980)

Nils: Hey Nineteen! I first heard this record in my early twenties, and back then, the whole Steely Dan vibe didn't appeal much, nor did it make much sense. But I knew they were named after a William Burroughs-invented "artefact", so I gathered there had to be something there. It turns out there was, in spades (check out Donald and Walter's open letters to celebrities whose careers they worry about for further reading). Anyway, Steely Dan is now my favourite band for watching waves roll by from the balcony, closely followed by early ZZ Top. And this is their magnum opus, in my humble opinion. The Royal Scam and Aja aren't far off, though.

Armando Sciascia — After the End (Suite For String Orchestra & Synthesizer) (Vedette Records, 1971)

Kristoffer: Armando Sciascia, the Abruzzese custodian of the whole-tone scale. While some of his output during the 60s and 70s is admittedly quite stylized with its particular and sometimes overstated tonality, this album strikes a balance between classical principle and impious mischief, while being texturally tantalizing with its fine Italian blend of acoustic and synthetic arrangements. A bit hard to come by, although some of the tracks were available on the 1972 compilation Infini alongside Fabio Fabor on the slightly more obtainable Musique Pour L'Image imprint.

Camille Sauvage — Fantasmagories (Editions Montparnasse 2000, 1974)

Kristoffer: In some ways, Camille Sauvage was a French counterpart to Armando Sciascia, but with a markedly different sense of melody all his own. Sauvage composed some richly decorated harmonic showpieces that characterize this period in his discography, either under his real name or one of several pseudonyms, notably Eric Framond—and the orchestration was almost always over-the-top with shrill Edda Dell'Orso-esque vocals and screeching brass that nearly couldn't contain itself. On Fantasmagories, however, he shows a more nocturnal and contemplative side, really damp and littered with fragments of this and that.

Marcos Valle — Vento Sul (Odeon, 1972)

Kristoffer: While there is no shortage of Brazilian contenders with Edu Lobo, Gilberto Gil, Caetano Veloso, Os Mutantes and the lot, I regularly return to this one. It's Marcos Valle's best in my opinion, and there's not much more to be said about it. A really strong and playful MPB album.

Philip Glass — Music with Changing Parts for Ensemble (Chatham Square Editions, 1971)

Thore: The relentless electric organ stuff that Philip Glass did in the late 60s and early 70s I really like. This one is with saxophones, trumpet, violin, flutes and voices.

Boyd Rice — Boyd Rice (Mute, 1981)

Thore: Hysterical and also quite calming, the loops never get boring.

Ike Yard — Ike Yard (A Second) (Factory America, 1982)

Thore: Minimal and catchy, I love this one. Seems to be a timeless classic.
