Oval — Romantiq (Thrill Jockey)

Photo by Sveta Rybkina

Markus Popp’s Oval project has been active since the early 1990s, but the pivotally important electronic artist still finds new reasons for inspiration. Romantiq, his latest recording, began as an audio-visual collaboration with artist Robert Seidel for the grand opening of the German Romantic Museum in Frankfurt. Refracted through a postmodern lens, Romantiq ponders the ideals of eighteenth and nineteenth century art. Even without the visual element, the adaption of the work into an album creates a compelling document.

Romantic blends digital electronica and organic elements. “Zauberwort” includes a distressed sample, collected by Seidel, of an opera singer performing an aria from The Magic Flute (hence the title). Alongside it are electric guitar, trombone, and diaphanous synthesizers. “Cresta” consists of overlapping chimes, keyboards, and whorling synths, which  occasionally move through the middle of phrases. As frequently happens on Romantiq, Popp sets up a harmonic ground that is more or less constant. These patternings are seldom symmetrical and never simple, composed of unconventional chord progressions placed in syncopated time frames. 

“Rytmy” is a standout. It recalls the post-minimalism of John Adams, chugging along in breakneck ostinatos. “Wildwasser” sets up another repeating pattern, through which multiple melodies flit, some deliberately naive in their patches to recall earlier technology. As one might expect from the title, “Glockenton” plays with pitched percussion in overlaid swaths of various timbres. 

“Amethyst” combines a chromatic chord progression with harp-like arpeggiations and a repeated note riff. Partway through, a downtempo beat appears, submerged beneath the other textures. “Elektrin” plays with polyrhythms of glassine and string sounds, with whistling glissandos giving the piece vintage sci-fi adornments. In one of the more adventurous cuts, “Okno” combines pitched percussion and glissando-filled synth harmonies to create a curious, dissonant palette. Eventually, repeated thwacks of a bell take center stage with a shipboard vibe, as the synth part devolves still further. Pitched percussion is taken even further on “Touha,” where polymeter and super-fast flurries are foregrounded. Just a whiff of synth strings provides harmonic context. 

The recording closes with “Lyriq,” where an intricate rhythmic sequence led by mbira-like sounds leads the charge, while solo synth interjections serve as an angular counterweight. At the very end, both textures unwind in a brief coda. Romantiq is a strong addition to Popp’s compendious catalog, one that unifies certain sound selections and approaches while providing ample variety. Wish I’d been in Frankfurt.

Opera on YouTube

I've shared links to complete opera performances before, but I love to share them, so I thought I'd make a few masterposts.

This is a long and personal one but I wanted to share it.

To the people who still question what women’s football has done for us, well for me it’s changed my dad’s opinion on women.

I love my dad but I will be the first to admit that he was a misogynistic stereotypical arsehole. His views on women were so 1950’s he claimed he was just a traditional Christian who believed women should be seen and not heard and that they also belonged in the kitchen or at home with the children…. That’s not something my mum was cool with so she told him to get fucked and now they’ve been married 25years (besides the point I know).

So when I started getting into and watching women’s football it was something he struggled to comprehend and for a long time he would make snarky comment, roll his eyes, try to change the channel (when he did that he forgot I had the sky go app on my phone that can act as tv remote so the tv would magically change it back).

I started to talk more and more about football with him and I had done my research so I was absolutely sure I knew what I was talking about. So slowly but surely he began to stop with the comments and the rolling of eyes. I eventually asked to go down to London for my birthday at the end of April to see the arsenal vs Wolfsburg game he informality couldn’t go so my brother and I went (had a blast got to see a Scottish icon score a header then absolutely slam into popp).

After this he saw how much I loved the game how much it meant to me, it was around this time that I realised I didn’t want to be a teacher that I didn’t really like children, so I sat down one day and started looking at careers in women’s football and landed on physiotherapist so I applied for a college course got in and I’m now thriving rather than just surviving.

When he found out that I wanted a career in women’s football it was like a switch flipped in his head, we started going to Celtic women’s games, Scotland games hell we travelled from Scotland to Liverpool for a weekend just to see them play Liverpool in January.

What has women’s football/Arsenal done for me it’s changed and saved my life, made it possible for me to have a good and strong relationship with my dad. It’s opened my eyes to a lot of things and given me an opportunity at a new career path.

Thank you for taking the time to read it, and for those of you in similar situations I’m sorry.

football bringing everyone together.

PUMA Launches Breakthrough Pack - Inclusive of Women Specific Fits

PUMA unleashed the next generation of the brands popular speed boot – the ULTRA Breakthrough edition. The remastered model is armed with a completely redesigned lightweight ULTRAWEAVE upper to push the limits of speed. The new upper takes PUMA’s signature speed to the next level with the application of PUMA’s PWRTAPE technology that draws from the anatomy of the human foot to provide optimal lightweight support in key areas of the foot for added stability and a locked in fit to perform quick cuts and explosive movements.

The ULTRA also features an explosive dual-density SPEEDPLATE for next-level traction. The result is a more dynamic plate and a more reactive toe box that provides added propulsion and energy transfer when going from 0 to fast. The new ULTRA features faster branding with sleeker formstrip and a semi-transparent upper so you can see the innovative PWRTAPE technology.

The ULTRA will be worn by Kingsley Coman, Antony, Memphis Depay, Christian Pulisic, and leading women’s players at the 2023 World Championships in Australia this summer including Fridolina Rolfö, Alex Popp and Tamires. Two years since PUMA launched their first women’s specific fit football boots, PUMA has updated their product offering over this period to include a women’s fit across all three of their silos – ULTRA, FUTURE and KING. “PUMA’s women’s fit has continued to evolve, I have felt a huge difference when it comes to the lock down and support the boot gives me”, said Fridolina Rolfö, Barcelona and Sweden International”. “Before the women’s fit we were wearing the same boot as the men, so the fit was not tailored to our foot shape. Now I feel more comfort and confidence when stepping into the women’s fit UTLRA.” “The new ULTRA continues to push the boundaries of speed, comfort and support. We want our athletes to have the optimal weight to ensure the boot is light, durable and provides the right support which is achieved through the combination of the PWRTAPE technology and ULTRAWEAVE upper”, said Stephanie Viera, Product Line Manager Teamsport Footwear.

“We have continued to develop our unique women’s specific fit offering, which is now used by over 90% of our female athletes, which is a testament to how much our athletes love the women specific fit.” The new ULTRA is part of the PUMA Breakthrough Pack and is available in a unisex and women’s specific fit that also includes the FUTURE and two new PUMA KINGs in fresh new color updates. The PUMA KING women’s fit colorway will be used by PUMA’s female players at this summer’s World Championships in Australia. The PUMA KING black colorway arrives in a unisex fit only. Take your game to the next level with the Breakthrough Pack available on pre-sale from June 29 th at PUMA.com, the PUMA app, DICK’S Sporting Goods and Soccer.com and available on global release from July 6 th .
