Berlin based improviser Olaf Rupp combines multiple elements and parameters into one very unique and personal idiom, whether he plays acoustic or electric guitar.
Recorded last year in Berlin, "AuldLangSyne" inspired by a traditional Scottish poem is a mirror of that amalgamation of sound.
Olaf Rupp's versatile approach to freeform guitar ranges from folk tinged arpeggios and heavy strumming to dense chord clusters.
Possessing miraculous technique,he lashes out harmonics overtones and cluster notes like no other. Sometimes he hits his instruments' strings so hard that one gets the sense that everything around us will suddenly collapse, other times one just gets immersed in a quiet blissful strumming vortex.
Rupp has total domination over material and structure, whether in a high energy or in a slower mindset.
Truly a very subtle and exquisite language.
Artwork consists of a front cover painting by Antonio Poppe and leather back cover. Each copy brings a different drawing made by António Poppe.
AuldLangSyne is a split release with german label GLIGG.

Cd-R comes in a limited edition of 200 copies.

dromos007 Magda Mayas & Anthea Caddy - Schatten
Recorded in Vienna during Winter on a snowy night, Berlin-based musicians Magda Mayas & Anthea Caddy present on "Schatten" a dense and piercing improvisational statement.
Foccusing mainly on texture and structure,but also the percussive possibilities of their instruments, both artists display a continuum of immense creativity, pushing their instruments to higher limits and even beyond recognition with each new aural event surpassing the previous one.
Magda Mayas explores both the outside as well as the inside of the piano, through a vast amount of extended techniques and the aid of preparation and amplification, to extract an interminable array of sounds. Both percussive and melodic.From screeching chords and scraping metallic sounds to the deepest resonance.
Anthea Caddy implies the physical aspects of sound,altogheter with instrumental knowledge.With complete control over dynamics, timbre and a constant awareness of time, she forms a very unique spatial and textural approach to the cello.
Two very personal languages that fuse as a whole.
The artwork consists of 250 shadow skins. All covers are different membranes made of ink skin by plastic artist Nádia Duvall
