[THN097] Das Kraftfuttermischwerk - Blüte Seines Lebens
(Moving Ambient Downbeats)

Now, in this mid-summer of 2007, Das Kraftfuttermischwerk
returns with a soothing, melodic downtempo EP titled
"Blüte seines Lebens" - a perfect audio complement to warm,
placid days. Like a carefree boat trip down a meandering,
gently flowing waterway on a balmy summer day that ends in 
the cool shade of a secluded tree-lined beach, this
easy-listening four-tracker takes the listener on a tranquil,
nostalgic sound journey that includes beautiful synths,
pensive melodies, delicate beats, and minimal grooves.

(4 tracks - 23min 10sec - 32.62 MB)

[APL047] Twile - Traum-a
(Cinematic Dub Electronica)

The album title was selected for its dual meaning -
“Traum” is the German word for “dream” while
“trauma” refers to emotional injury or suffering as
a result of experiencing an extremely stressful situation 
or physical injury. The sounds are cinematic, designed to
be listened to in seclusion, and the album as a whole is a
manifestation of Twile’s belief that “what is contained in
sadness holds the greatest potential for joy.”
So Twile, as if assuming the role of a therapist,
summons the misplaced world of dreams, childhood,
and forest to offer a “sonorous cure.”

Hiroya Kurata's Arts

Hiroya Kurata was born in Osaka Japan, and grew upin Tokyo and Chicago.
His artwork is inspired by various things including thegreek myths, baseball cards, and Bikuri-Man stickers.He is a member of a Japanese manga group, Mashcomix.
He is currently living and working in Brooklyn, NYC.

I met Hiro 2 years ago, during the summer 2005 at the opening of the Dolce Vita # 2 organised by Carla Communication at Espace Beaurepaire in Paris. It was a big show with different artists as painter, sculptor, designer, couturier, musicians & performers, video & fashion alsoHiro introduced some sculpturs and canvas at this show. To be honest, I already admire his talent and his unique way of drawing at the first second I saw his works…It reminds me works of Os Gemeos, the two brazilian graffiti artists brothers. So i started to talk with him about this, and he knew works of those freaks...Who don't ??
Anyway, we talked a lot about Arts, our influences and differences between him; who considerate Art as an entire work and me; who just drawing for my pleasure or as a therapy...
He's involve into a lot of different projects with graffiti artists, designer and worked already for different galleries in Tokyo, Berlin, Paris and NYC where he's actually living.
I just saw he's gonna work with that great crew The Brooklyn Circus, check the blog.
The link to this great show he did in Tokyo last year as well 2006 at BBS Tokyo, the 10x10 Show.
