HEATSICK - Dream Tennis - CockTail d'Amore 02 - VINYL ONLY * LIMITED TO 250 COPIES by Cocktail d'Amore

VINYL ONLY * LIMITED TO 250 COPIES - release date: 27th of July

CockTail d’Amore, the new Berlin-based label (and long-running monthly party) run by DJ/producers Discodromo and Boris, welcomes Steven Warwick a.k.a. Heatsick to the crew.
Heatsick, a brit from east anglia who now also calls Berlin his home, has built up a name for himself over the last five years, having released a number of limited edition cassette tapes and CD-Rs on labels like Alcoholic Narcolepsy and Not Not Fun. Now CockTail d’Amore gives his the prestige of his very first 12” maxi-single, “Dream Tennis”.

Heatsick’s latest odyssey is based entirely on sounds from a vintage Casiotone keyboard, with the majority of the keys missing, appearing something like a boxer’s smirk after losing a particularly brutal fight. But even with such a punkish approach, Heatsick’s experimental attitude finds him able to coax layers of melodic interplay and jacking rhythms across its ten-and-a-half-minute duration. Never before has his Chicago house influence shined through so clearly, for a new permutation on his style, what might be referred to as “kaleidoscopic music”, a term that Ron Hardy certainly would have appreciated.

Diego Morales of Santiago, Chile, a.k.a. Diegors, provides his own version of the track. Diegors is one of the key players from Matias Aguayo’s Cómeme imprint (under this alias as well as Fredi Michel) and fleshes out the more lo-fi sounds of Heatsick’s original into a panoramic, playful house number, like a spaced-out Mr. Fingers track.

Finally, on the flip side, a certain Norwegian royal figure filters “Dream Tennis” through his own prismatic lenses:
Prins Thomas needs no introduction to those already familiar with the so-called “space disco” sound of the last few years, but for those of you living in a cave (cavemen are the original bears, and after all, hirsute hunks are CockTail’s biggest fanbase), this Oslo dweller is responsible for the respected Full Pupp label and is half the duo Lindstrøm & Prins Thomas whose followers include not just European DJs but American indie rockers. This drastic reworking of “Dream Tennis” is made from 100% newly recorded audio, following the psychedelic sprawl of the original but with more of a live band feel, with dashes of kraut rock and acid.

So please have a taste – we’re confident that a second round of our CockTail will have you feeling the Amore!

“In my music there is nothing to understand. It is so superficial that I can’t find anything to say,” Cacciapaglia writes in the liner notes, presumably in character as Steel. “My music is ingenuous, there is nothing inside it and it is for this reason, that I like it. It can be listened to while sipping tea, watching television, or while speaking with a friend. Even in a moment when one has nothing to do or is bored, the music can be listened to attentively and millions of little changes can be discovered. It is certainly not the ideal music; it is just one type of music.

“The computer has been indispensable. It is a marvelously poetic instrument that evokes the beauty of the new technologic environment and it gives everything a great artificial taste of grand actuality. This music can be utilized in many ways and listened to by different people, which is what makes me happy because I want it to be accessible to everyone. I would like it to be even more simplistic, in fact, and my aspiration is to uncover it on a weightless day – so weightless, in fact, as to have it fly away like a balloon.”

Poor Man's Expression – Technology, Conceptual Art, Experimental Film
With contributions by Stephanie Taylor, Sebestyén Kodolányi, Sebastian Lütgert, Henrik Olesen, Mathias Poledna, Sean Snyder, Daria Martin, Kirsten Pieroth, Martin Ebner und
Florian Zeyfang. Authors: Sabeth Buchmann, Anselm Franke, Ariane Müller, Branden W. Joseph, Stefanie Schulte Strathaus, Ian White and Axel John Wieder.
Sternberg Press, ISBN 978-1-934105-01-6.

as a point of departure we have assumed that there was once a close relationship between forms that now exist rather separately, namely the realms of visual art, experimental film, literature, poetry, music – and very much the development of technology, too. what is it supposed to mean that 16mm projectors now occupy their luxurious final performance sites at art societies and galleries, while iphone youtube (without open source codecs, to be sure) is the current way to watch a hollis frampton interview.

the other way around, isn’t the gentle entry of the genre of "experimental film" into the realm of "media art" of the 1980s and 1990s itself a transformation analog to general social and medial development brought about by the development of individualization and consumer society? in poor man's expression we have sought, through an advanced setting
("affirmative" neon light surfaces, and the exhibition's paradoxical bipartite spatial principle) to address the surrounding corporate architecture of the sony center as well as the film archive deep underground and the dark space of the avant-garde cinema.

"Early on, I learned to disguise my self in words which really were clouds. The gift of perceiving similarities is, in fact, nothing of a weak remnant of the old compulsion to become similar and to behave mimetically. In me, however, this compulsion acted through words. Not those that made me similar to models of good breeding, but those that made me similar to dwelling places, furniture, clothes.

New Fast Automatic Pissholes

2010-08-16T10:43:00.000-07:00

New Fast Automatic Piss-holes

by Marco Astolfi.

“...I don't really understand why you unhinge the Herren and Damen nameplates from the toilet doors during the parties. What does it mean? That here at the Gluckhaus you just need to hide the labels to eliminate gender differences? I find it absolutely useless! Once you're in, there you have it again, the same old opposition: male and female. Architecture speaks! Urinal are and will always remain male objects, for the simple reason that they can be used only by men. Have you ever seen a standing girl piss? I haven’t yet: if she’d try, she would just produce puddles between her legs, while a boy, thanks to his organ, can project in the space a stream whose vector doesn't simply consist of the vertical component...”
“Who’s this guy?” I ask Clemenza “He’s Florian, Santa’s boyfriend. He's here for the PHD” she whispers to my ear while we approach with the glass in our hand. “Do we really have to talk to him?” “Don’t worry, he'll speak for the three of us. You just have to listen” “I wouldn't meet him if I could” “Oh come on, they say he’s cool! He's worked for Coop Himmelb(l)au and Eisenman Associates; his essay on the architecture of public toilets has been published by Domus!” I don't reply but my face says “So fucking what!”
“... then why don’t we get rid of every kind of inner partition? Maximum visibility is the new keyword! My Total Lavatory for Young Male Students is a pure volume. No useless obstacles! A smooth space entirely lined with mirrors: just a draining channel on the floor, a blue neon frame along the ceiling perimeter and a slot that lets flow a continuous film of liquid disinfectant at about a third of the height. (Just figure the optical effects caused by the deforming reflections!) Of course the female version of the Total Lavatory will be completely different in order to fit the conformation of the feminine excretory apparatus...”
Pale, with hardly visible moustache, a swallow nest shaped mass of black hair over a white and high forehead, this Florian wears only a pair of bleached jeans, cut under the groin, a leather pouch for his yard tools, and once blue canvas sneakers, dirty with dried grout, over a pair of mid calf socks of the whitest sponge I've ever seen.
“... but of course the most advanced proposal in the field is the piss-hole, because it resolves once and for all the longstanding issue of the golden dew that we all penis-holders deposit on the tiles every time we urinate. The first automatic piss-holes were based on the duration of a standard leak, calculated with statistical methods and spot checks. A team of white gowned technicians was instructed to investigate the behaviour of the individual at the public toilets. This sounds a little too Kinsey, doesn't it? I mean, would you still be able to piss if a bunch of guys with tables, chronometers and questionnaires were watching you from a very close distance? Anyway, the result of their analysis was a handbook titled Parameters of the Average Man at the Urinal, which served as a starting point for project phase...”
People listen to him in ecstasy and laugh hysterically to show that they understand his wit. Santa, blinks her green eyes under kajal weighted eyelids and nods to every word he says, then she looks around in search of approval: it seems that she's saying “He's so cool, isn't he? And I am his girlfriend!" Every now and then there’s a little applause burst.
“...the first piss-holes prototypes were introduced in some great factories as a concession of the enlightened manufacturers to their workmen. Taylor ruled not only on the assembly line but also in the toilets: cut down the wastes of time to obtain top results. But the holes were all positioned at the same height, so that some workers were forced to piss on tiptoe and others with bended knees. Plus, the diameters were all of the same size! (Pause) Got it? And, even worse, every hole had a guillotine-like closure that locked for sterilization after a lapse: the duration of the standard leak mentioned before. This caused many unpleasant accidents during the adjustment period. After the first cases of castration the workers took the habit to pull outside their willy while it was still dripping or to urinate directly on the floor...”
He seems a cross(breed) of an Aubrey Beardsley drawing and the transvestite that carried on with the murderer's son in Deep Red. He also betrays a hint of make-up and retouched eyebrows. I bet he hides a silk dressing gown with peacocks in one of his drawers.
“...that's why I am currently working on the New Fast Automatic Piss-holes, the urinals for the post industrial era: height is adjustable and the calibre fits to your instrument like a glove thanks to its inflatable air-cushion made of skin-like material. You don’t even have to think about it, because the machine does the whole job for you: it's just a question of pressure! You insert your pump and you drain off your tank while the digital display tells you the amount of litres you deposited. The opposite of a petrol station. And it should feel like a mouth gently sucking the piss out of you to the last drop. Needless to say, the final shake is automatic too. We just have to wait for the pocket version, wearable under the clothes and inspired to the recycling of physiological liquids...
"Look!, screams Santa, they are projecting your video!" and she points at the luminous rectangle on the rough concrete wall. We all turn to watch. Countdown. Three. Two. One. Disappearing circles in counter-clockwise sense. No soundtrack. Still shot of two contiguous doors. Each of them has a frame fixed with two screws. Close-up of the left door: the stylized profile of a gentleman, in cylinder, stick and fin de siecle clothes, leaves his frame and reappears in the other one on the right. Without further ado he grabs the bidimensional lady, rises her skirt and takes advantage of her from behind. Fade out on the anatomic details. FIN!
We all clap our hands. I and Clemenza approach the man to pay our compliments. "Florian Pfaffgen" he introduces himself crushing my hand, "Architect" adds after a theatrical pause and then he gives me a metallic business card that he has extracted from his leather pouch. Then he starts to speak to nobody in particular, resuming his speech from where he had stopped: “...what about the opposite of a pure hole on a continuous smooth surface? Down with Less is more!, and get ready for the baroque triumph of swells and cavities: smart hygienic devices, water closets that change and grow, crossed not only with saunas and jaccuzi, but also with alchemic alembics and Murano chandeliers. Hypertrophic apparatuses with tentacles and trunks that embrace you and wrap you completely and then spray your own piss on your face like an aerosol, chemically processed and transformed into perfumed essences...”
“Let’s get something else to drink!” I say to Clemenza, grabbing her arm.

Heatsick at Grimm Museum Berlin- Sunday 1st August.

2010-07-30T08:38:00.000-07:00

Grimm Museum, Fichte Str 2, Berlin. (U7 Südstern)
2pm onwards.

"In celebration of their new sonic-archive, GRIMMUSEUM is happy to introduce a new series: the Sunday Summer Listening Salon.

The gallery will be transformed each Sunday into a casual listening-room with a fine sound system and comfortable seating. The participants and audience are invited to bring food, drink, and coffee for a late-afternoon ‘brunch’ of sound and discussion.

In his 1966 publication ‘Traité des objets musicaux’ Pierre Schaeffer defined the acousmatic as: referring to a sound that one hears without seeing the causes behind it. (Schaeffer 1966: 91) In this tradition it was normal to present works in a “salon d’ecoute” to place a spot-light on the beauty of collective listening and to provide the participants with a possibility to get in contact with each other through hearing one another’s work and the exploration of other relevant contemporary and historical artists.

Berlin is the home of many composers of new, adventurous art-music, but we mainly hear only their live manifestations while beautiful, intrepid studio works are relegated to media that’s intended to be privately experienced at home. The listening salon is meant to create a forum for new works to be heard before publication and to allow older works to be shared in new contexts. Each invited composer will be asked to submit a selection of their catalog for the Grimmuseum archive. This archive will then be made available to the public for research and study purposes.

Each ‘salon’ will be given a theme and direction by the Grimm sound archive curator, Michael Northam, as a way of exploring possible continuums between various artists’ methods and intentions throughout the years, local composers are invited to present new works in person while other rare and special composers will be presented from Northam’s personal archive.

program:

25. july 2010 [13h00-16h00] - “Listening to the Veins of the Stars” - Marcel Turkowsky, Giovanni Conti, Michael Northam - with references to : Roland Kayn, Iannis Xenaxis, Rolf Julius...
(discussion of the frontier from between the artificial and the organic in acousmatic composition)

1. august 2010 [13h00-16h00] - “The Unfolding Passage” Melanie Velarde, Midori Hirano, Steven Warwick, Kurt Korthals - with references to : VU, Church of Anthrax, Brainticket, Richard Youngs,...
(discussion of the landscapes between pop music and art music)

8. august 2010 [13h00-16h00] - “Tactile Traces” Francesco Cavaliere, Ignaz Schick - with references to : Seth Nehil, Loren Chasse, Jeph Jerman, Giancarlo Toniutti...
(discussion of concrete surface morphologies as starting points for new sound works)"
