Running weekly, the series will broadcast the entire catalogue so far in chronological order, continuing here with Winter Songs, Wedding Songs by by Mykolaiv Singers.

The announcement of this long in the making LP was hastened by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. All previously unreleased in any form - spare a few tapes distributed in the Mykolaiv region - these are old, old songs (of winter, weddings, war, sex, bread) predominantly sung by groups of women, and all from the villages of Mykolaiv, Ukraine. Collected over the last decade by singer and ethnographer, Tetiana Chukno, the LP comes with a 20-page booklet containing the Ukrainian-language original lyric sheet for each song, along with its English translation: by Ksenia Ginchuk, and Stephen Watts & Stanley Schtinter.

Proceeds from the higher ‘support’ payment option will be sent immediately to the artists and translators in Ukraine responsible for the record. The ‘standard’ payment option covers only the record’s production costs.

This episode was created entirely by the AI. Stop! Not quite. There was a painstaking search and editing process. And all the lyrics were handwritten by Drone Operatør. But yes, all the music here was invented by a machine brain. Of course it learned from humans. Illegal data extraction, blah blah blah....

But this is it. Here we are! When the cold, damp smell of the rehearsal room hits your nose and the smoky, smelly pub concert creeps into your brain, just enjoy the ride. You've never understood exactly how sound travels on radio waves, to begin with, so what? This is our testament. The AI testament.

The song was released to American clubs and dance radio in July 2000. In Europe, the song was released in October 2000. The song is from D'Agostino's 1999 album of the same name. Ola Onabule is the vocalist of this song. He performs all the vocals on the track and on all versions of the song. In 2001, the song became extremely popular in the American dance club scene. It became an international success and a huge hit throughout Europe, Latin America and Asia.

Zärtlich Geht Die Welt Zugrunde: Still Looking for Medusa is a tribute to corals, the sensitive critters of Gaia’s underwater realms, showcasing their profound ability to forge symbiotic relationships. Corals, as holobionts for zooxanthellae, epitomize interdependence; as reefs, they offer shelter to many marine creatures; as strong formations, they modulate the ocean’s ebb and flow into gentler currents. As the ancient ancestors of Medusa, they hold the spirit of nature’s often misunderstood and transformative powers. Medusa herself, a female figure of Greek mythology, represents the recurring theme of metamorphosis and the complex dynamics of power and seduction, banished to safeguard the male gaze.

Through a rich saturation of marine bioacoustics, noise pollution, mythic tones, Nina M. W. Queißner and Linda Weiß beckon you to immerse yourself in the deep, dark blue soundscape. Here, lose your way, welcome the feeling of otherness, and give yourself to the waves of yearning, and acknowledge cold shivers. Picture Medusa, whose symbiosis sustains the life that thrives beneath the waves.

Underwater sound recordings: Coral reefs (Red Sea, Egypt), shipping traffic on the Main River and the English Channel of the Alabaster Coast; additional sound recordings: Baking soda in water, hot oil, ice cubes, crystal glass and water, tadpoles, rain on polyamide, etc., synthesizer, melodica, Sansa. Concept and production: Nina M. W. Queissner.

Nina M. W. Queissner adopts a poetic and research-oriented approach using recording technologies and soundscape composition to explore the experiential dimensions of sound and listening, closely integrated with multidisciplinary concepts of landscape and environment. Linda Weiß creates immersive installations that examine the dynamics of shared spaces, engaging in dialogue with more-than-human collaborators such as fungi and bacteria.

Together, they work on the ongoing project *Looking for Medusa that invites audiences on a journey through past and future mythologies. Starting with Ovid’s Metamorphoses, the project weaves together references from cosmologies and ecosystems to create an experimental habitat for speculative future coral creatures. Their audio-visual installation was first exhibited at the Senckenberg Nature Museum in Frankfurt am Main, Germany, in 2023. More on their research at tempe-corals.tumblr.com.
