New die ANGEL album – Yön Magneetti Sine – is out as LP / download on Edition Telemark in cooperation with MWM.

Edition Telemark & MWM present the ninth album by die ANGEL (previously called Angel), an improvisational noise and electro-acoustic project founded in 1999 by Dirk Dresselhaus (aka Schneider TM) and Ilpo Väisänen (ex-Pan sonic).
die ANGEL’s music meanders between the poles of improvised noise and electro-acoustic music, encompassing processed electronic sounds, instruments, and field recordings, with some tracks featuring guest musicians. Yön Magneetti Sine can be considered their most stripped-down album to date, completely recorded in July 2017 in Väisänen’s cottage near Karttula, Finland. It contains five improvised tracks featuring only processed acoustic signals from two self-built one-string resonance instruments and an acoustic guitar. Both one-stringed instruments were built by Väisänen from parts of a weaving loom, a bench, and two barbecue bowls.
All tracks were recorded live without overdubs and, according to Dresselhaus and Väisänen, relate directly to the surrounding landscape and the special atmosphere of the white nights that occur in central and northern Finland during summer. To them, the music heard here is to be called blues, albeit with non-standard instrumentation and structure. Thus, their working title has been “The Electro-Acoustic Blues Album”. Edition of 300 on blue vinyl in full-colour sleeve with various photos of the recording process and the surroundings.

The original motion picture soundtrack by Schneider TM for Omer Fast’s acclaimed first feature film REMAINDER is out now as LP+CD/download on Song Cycle Records.
A heuristic creative approach characterised the collaboration between Omer Fast and Schneider TM, where music and images beautifully intertwined in a compelling sonic structure.

“Composition was about shared moments, a steady process of improvisation and interaction. They watched Remainder on loop until the sounds they were creating were an equal partner to the other aspects of the film and the life of its characters. Omer Fast describes the music as possessing the capacity to step into the gaps of a room, in between his characters who have somehow lost their own connection with society.”

Released under the name die ANGEL (an updated name to their Angel project), the album “breaks down the soul of noise” and features multi-instrumentalist Oren Ambarchi on two tracks.

Entropien I is the duo’s first full-length since Vainio’s death and will be released on Shapednoise’s label Cosmo Rhythmatic. In 2015, the label released a collaborative album from Vainio and French electroacoustic composer Franck Vigroux.
