Ventil Records

very happy to announce a new release! ELÍAS MERINO - Synspecies (vinyl & digital) >> out now >> link in bio @eliasmerino.wounds The vivid abstract architectures of SYNSPECIES fluctuate in an ambiguous pulsating time, hybridising and shaping new shapes confined in a perpetual disintegration process. This project just tries to portrait the states of bewilderment and the embodiment of the sacred. Elías Merino is a Madrid-based artist working primarily with sound. His practice spans installation, composition, and live performance, moving between algorithmic abstract computer music, experimental electronics, and instrumental works.

new release koeniglollipop - Pantheism at Praterstern (vinyl & digital) Nach dem Release „Fame Over“, damals noch unter dem Namen koenig riegler, schlägt diese Platte klanglich wieder eine Brücke zurück zu den koenigleopold-Veröffentlichungen. Vertrauter Sound, aber neu aufgeladen: roher und zugleich offener, weniger Pose, mehr Gefühl. In diesem Klangraum wird über die Sauberkeit von Autos in der ordinärsten Sprache gesprochen, die Durchimpfung der Gesellschaft als Durchspritzen bezeichnet, während an anderer Stelle ein Bordell zum Namensgeber einer Straße wird, von der aus der Blick über die Stadt sich wie ein Universum öffnet.

Tender Matter and Ventil Records Present: Ursula Winterauer - »When Dust Settles« LIVE with ensemble »When dust settles« explores the sounds of a city in transformation and turns them into an acoustic reflection. At the heart of the piece are the everyday noises of construction and redevelopment, often perceived as disruptive or even unbearable. They not only stand for change and transformation, but also symbolize the speed and impermanence of contemporary life. In the sound piece these urban sounds, arising from the process of city restructuring, are treated as an archive of collective memory, reinterpreted through careful arrangement and attentive listening. Field recordings of old, still-standing buildings, new machines, and the voices of those involved in the transformation merge within the composition. The juxtaposition of old and new— stones, earth, structures, voices, and sounds—creates an acoustic collision of different temporalities. Demolition and reconstruction together tell a story of transition. Ursula Winterauer’s piece »When Dust Settles« will have its Vienna premiere at The Gate, a Frequency, an evening of new audio works presented by Tender Matter and Ventil Records.

Tender Matter and Ventil Records Present: Tony Wagner - »Chromatic Circles« LIVE with ensemble Tony Wagner’s »Chromatic Circles« presents a tonal topography, drawn by the systematic chromatic shift of four cello parts, unfolding a dense network of dissonances and floating overtones. The focus is on exploring a collective, space-bound form of deep listening in which the architectural resonance space is understood as an integral, co-composing actor. »Chromatic Circles« was commissioned for The Gate, a Frequency, an evening of new audio works presented by Tender Matter and Ventil Records, and is the first in a larger cycle of cello quartets by the artist. Line-up Emil Huppenkothen - cello Ahoo Maher - cello 
Tony Wagner - cello Pheno Wischer - cello @tonyxwagner @diary_ahoo @phiepmatz3000 @schlingelemil Tony Wagner (he/they) is a musician and artist working at the intersection of avant-garde composition, experimental sound and trans-disciplinary performance. Beyond their artistic practice, they contribute to Vienna’s music scene as co-manager of the music platform Tender Matter.
