We have been busy during the last months… Travelling around, being ill, as well as writing and rehearsing new ideas and songs for the next record. And we also released new music under different monickers, with other bands or simply under the radar. To make sure you don’t miss out, here is a short overview for you where we have been and where we are…
The song above is taken from “Hideouts” by Corwood Manual who really is our own Andreas. It has been recorded here and there while travelling around the country last summer with the help of various devices ranging from tape recorders, mobiles and computers, whatever was at hand. The EP features 4 new songs and is out now on the newly created Bloody Hands Ltd. imprint in physical and digital formats as well as “Sendawoy”, a collaboration between the author Christian Ludwig and Andreas as Corwood Manual, reinterpreting the book of the same name with even more tapes and electronic glitches. Aside from the compositions that accompany the storyline, this EP also includes a title track performed by Andreas on vocals and electronics. All this in 16 minutes. What a ride! Get them here.
Sepp has also been quite busy, touring with U*N*S and releasing a two-track 7” single on All rock’n’roll speeds up with “Nee/Uns Vier” which you should totally check out right here. U*N*S is a blistering and synth dicso heavy affair, pairing Sepp with old bandmates and even better friends you may know from Petula and/or/likewise Kate Mosh. This sounds exactly as seductive and loud as you might guess, these guys won’t miss a chance to make you ____!
Janek has been touring a lot with OMP all over the place, playing in other projects as well as he is recording various solo efforts right now. He will release a modern classical instrumental EP very soon, again via Bloody Hands Ltd. We let you know when it’s ready!
Besides all this activity new Siva. music is piling up… This year will be a one to remember!
Another old one for you: This is the last song of our release tour, we played the nearly ten minutes long “Packages” in Potsdam on June 20, 2009. Also, this was the last concert we played with Nils Frahm. After that we embraced the trio idea for the following tours.
This is the first and only time we played “Open” on our release tour, not sure why, actually… Filmed at Potsdam’s Waschhaus on June 20, 2009!
Another song taken from our record release show in Potsdam last year! June 20, 2009.
More tour footage! This is one of the first performances of “Misery Box”, taken from our “Same Sights, New Light” record release show in Potsdam on June 20, 2009. This was the last of four shows presenting new material before the album was released. More to come!
This is the last song of our record release show at Maschinenhaus, Berlin on June 19, 2009… filmed by Anne Bonkowski. We closed the evening with one of the first live renditions of “A Place Worth Mentioning”. As with all things, you have to start somewhere… More footage of our touring adventures… soon!
