“Music is prophecy. Its styles and economic organization are ahead of the rest of society because it explores, much faster than material reality can, the entire range of possibilities in a given code.” (Jacques Attali)

Das Kollektiv von Rosakaro, das sich im Umfeld der Universität für Angewandte Kunst Wien formiert hat, verschränkt die gemeinschaftliche Praxis des Musikmachens mit dem Potential von generativen Tools. Vor dem Hintergrund aktueller Entwicklungen in Gesellschaft, Kultur und Kunst lotet das Team aus Artists und Researchern in der Interaktion von Mensch zu Mensch sowie von Mensch und Technologie die Anwendung von KI im Kontext der Kunst / Musik aus (Machine Learning als innovative Technik und Methode vergleichbar mit dem Sampling in den 1980ern) und kreiert im Rosakaro-Soundlab poppige Mikronarrationen, die die Gegenwart reflektieren. — mehr —

Paul Divjak – Collected Releases

It’s simply unbelievable, that already 20 years passed since my first release “so fine” (7″) on sue.mi (Berlin/Prague). In the very same year, 2002, Hans Platzgumer, with whom I had the chance to collaborate on my first EP, mentioned Konkord Records, a young team of audiophile enthusiast from Vienna. I got in contact with Wolfgang Reitter and the boys (back then they really were young) from “the friendly record label” from Vienna, and learnt to appreciate their vast pop historical knowledge and musical expertise. To cut a long story short: We released the EP “A Glimmer of Hope” together in 2005. And ever since Konkord turned out to be the very trusted homebase for my musical concepts and releases. – I’m already pretty much looking forward to celebrating a “Best Of” at the occasion of our 20-years anniversary. Here’s to you, Konkorditos!***

Feel free to sneak into the back catalogue! – Info & free listening @Konkord

Sciene Fiction Pocket Museum – The Guided Tour

Science Fiction Pocket Museum - CD Cover

Wir betreten das Museum. Die Musik setzt ein, die Schwerkraft aus. Wir heben ab. Es biept, es zirpt, es dröhnt: poetische Soundminiaturen öffnen Ambient-Klangräume und erzählen von möglichen Welten und der Begegnung mit fremden Wesen. Und hinter freischwebenden Planeten wächst der Orbit in unendliche Weiten. – Captain Kirk hat recht: „Beauty Survives“.

We are entering the museum. The music starts, and gravity stops. We are free floating. It beeps, it chirps, it drones: poetic sound miniatures open up ambient sound spaces, telling of possible worlds and encounters with alien beings. Behind free-floating planets, the orbit grows into the infinite. – Captain Kirk was right: “Beauty Survives”.
