As our support for the unjustified war in Ukraine started over a year ago, we decided to feature a few musicians from that country in this latest edition. Zavoloka's experimental work began with that inspiration from British ‘90s electronic music, which is still a key influence for her, but she’s expanded into the world of field recordings with strong driving rhythms. You won’t necessarily be able to pick out the piano submerged in Endless Melancholy music, but it’s there, providing a steady drone, which has a very mellow type ambience. Duo Gamardah Fungus’ music and field recording work invokes the sparse open landscapes of Ukraine’s rural areas, and they try to reach the enigmatic, viscous and calm atmosphere of the very cosmos. Also in our lineup are some of our favourite names spanning many decades with new releases, including Erik Wollo, Steve Roach, Robert Scott Thompson & Craig Padilla. Vintage music comes from Rolf Trostel’s last album ‘Narrow Gate of Life’, recorded in 1983 at a live concert in the imposing Romanesque church of St. Pere de Galligants in Girona. Rolf worked with the Hamburg musician inventor and sound tinkerer Wolfgang Palm on the PPG and tested the then-new digital wave computer 360, releasing only four albums and leaving the scene for “private life”.
