“Unverdauliche Skizzen (which means: ‘indigestible sketches’) is a rubberball, jumping up and down in a hexagon of nothingness, sometimes bouncing against the walls (Bong!), sometimes teetering in space (Sssshhhhh…), sometimes falling unstoppably into lit darkness (Phhhhhhhhh…).
We stand on the abyss to hell and dance to the music of the stars. (W. Moers) Thanks to my beloved brother Massju for doing, what he does, to Lisa for getting me started and to Mr. Alex P. Schaller for making the cover and repairing my record-player.
Massju says:
Here it is! The first vital-signs of Weirdandwired! Bow low before Wolfseules first netlabel-release ever, a Tour-de-folie through dark electronica, an experimental trip through grain-fields of sound.
‘Unverdauliche Skizzen’ is an opus on mysterious creatures, a lyrical voyage, only the weirdness is your companion. Leaving behind all stylistic constraints, Wolfseule creates her own playground of electronic story-telling, listen closely, it is worthwhile. Picturesque, metaphorical, profound and brainy, so are the adjectives appropriate for this piece of electronic weirdness, take care of the glare. We at weirdandwired strongly recommend to use your headphones so that you can enjoy this experience as intense as possible. Get wired, we provide for the weirdness!”

“After one year of silence elapse is back with a new album called ‘weapons of mass-education’. An essay about alternative, free music. The album is quite different to hear, there are slow and faster tracks to dance to. But the crackling weird beats bring down all tracks to a common denominator: Bit-crusher, broken beats and nice melodies. All in all ‘weapons of mass-education’ could be described as something between elektronika and IDM.
Avoid investing money in weapons of mass-destruction!” — elapse/mdS

“Heezen is Raül Fuentes. Hes a non-musician from the city of Castello in the east of Spain. As he told me, Eno was a non-musician. Satie also didn study it.
Raül extracts the technique of sampling old vinyl-records from hip hop and combines it with minimal synthesizer- and guitar-loops, a lot of bizarre found-sounds, fragments of vocals and a few drops of psychedelica. theres some kind of strange musique concrète-atmosphere in his tracks that makes me think of late 60s avantgarde films and ambiguous surrealists like René Magritte, Man Ray or collagist Max Ernst. His loops are like spirals of fireworks that interfere with each other to build new patterns of sounds and melody.
On his Secret Speech EP, Raül combines two sets of tracks he already released one on his own: Fractura, Pirotecnia and Martin De Vivies are in the middle of the EP. These tracks got a pretty straight beat and intensify layer-by-layer. Raül bridges from electroacoustic minimal-music to deep house, home-grown electronica and back. For the other three tracks, Raül comes up with a more ambient vibe. You can find pulsing synthesizers (Secret Speech), a complex composition of guitar, certain glitches, sampled vocals and a string section (Lastre) and the smooth, introspective cut-up collage of Le Cannard that marks the end of the EP.
Heezen created a dark sparkling gem of electroacoustica. His influences are legion, but due to his abilities as a sound-designer and songwriter, he managed to destillate them all in highly conclusive compositions that never forget about a certain amount of catchyness and, yeah, emotionality. http://www.heezen.co.nr“

“Since our start off, we have been looking for music that combines electronic with hand-made stuff. With Endlos, we finally found the perfect piece of the puzzle - just another amazing story of soul brothership written in our wonderful home city of Lipsia (Leipzig). This first Endlos EP is an excerpt of their 2004 album which was published as a very limited CD edition only. However, we think these songs are timeless: Enjoy seven epic pieces of deep electronica, fusing jazz with samplers, lo-fi drummachines embracing manipulated guitars and warm synths.”

“Megas is approaching inside our interdimensional wave radar. We flow from the planet’s dark side to the lovely side and leave the goblin’s world behind us.
You get Russian synth power combined with electronic soul and new century’s trance music in the wave energizing drive, ready to launch.
This is Phonocake’s first internatonal artist release (we call it ‘friend release’) and what would match better to as such a space journey with references to old electronica, shiny trance and modern IDM.”

“‘Clinical experience, and also carried out practical researches show, that simultaneous use of two hearing aids allows to distinguish more precisely sounds and, that is especially important, better to understand speech even to people with serious loss of hearing of one ear and full deafness of another…’ (from ‘Binaural prosthetics’)
