THE NEW NEXIALIST TRI-HEAD LOGO

The original Nexialist “Tri-Head” logo was developed in 2000. Its basis is the “Helvetica Man” symbol that was commissioned by the US Department of Transportation and produced by AIGA, the American Institute of Graphic Arts. It is oriented on previous works, such as the graphic design for the 1972 Munich Olympic Games. “Helvetica Man” is part of the original 1974 series of pictograms or symbols intended to communicate facilities and functions to the public. The symbols are copyright free and intended for public use. This was part of the motivation behind creating a logo for Nexialist – it was intended to be “un-copyrightable” and hence, universal. In difference to the original “Helvetica Man” the “Tri-Head” is broader in order to accommodate three heads, with one additional head to both sides of the original, central head. The three heads were intended to represent the three core interests of Nexialist: architecture, music, text. In 2022 the “Tri-Head” was re-imagined for the 25th anniversary of Fragment King, the Nexialist persona responsible for speculative audible environments. The re-imagined version was created by graphic artist Liis Roden = https://linktr.ee/7115

FRAGMENT KING 25TH ANNIVERSARY

Image
On the occasion of the the 25th anniversary of Fragment King, Nexialist is releasing three special compilations spanning recordings created and released between 1997 and 2014. In 1997, Fragment King recorded the "Demo That Exploded" and the adventure in speculative audible environments began. Above Us (FK 25th Anniversary Edition) features recordings written and produced during 2007 and 2010 within the Angel Position sessions in Weimar and Berlin. Furnace Lodge (FK 25th Anniversary Edition) includes tracks created during 2002 and 2007 predominantly within the Pathomechanical, Anatomic Music and Grey Album sessions in Ridgewood/USA, Weimar/Germany and Berlin/Germany. These three sessions strongly characterize the material produced in their context, by including guitar/ bass guitar/ vocals and effect treatment, the "digiscrub"-method of digitally deconstructing session material, and the coherent "studio"-approach to the various audio recording formats and

REVIEW: RETREAT @SIDE-LINE

Image
Review time again! Side-Line Reviews listened to RETREAT by Fragment King, released as a cassette and digital package by Annihilvs Power Electronix . Here is what they say: Fragment King – Retreat (Album – Annihilvs Power Electronix ) Genre/Influences: Industrial, Experimental. Format: Digital, Cassette. Background/Info: Mark Kammerbauer released this new opus last year. “Retreat” features seven songs plus one remix. Content: “Retreat” gets us back to the early days of Industrial/Experimental music. Next to the 80s influences the work also features very personal input; kind of inhibited, intimate atmosphere. The work has been composed by guitar playing manipulated into Industrial sound effects with menacing sound atmospheres on top. Vocal parts accentuate a cellar-like sensation. The last song is a remix by Snowbeasts which sounds pretty different, exploring Electro-Minimalism. + + + : This album evokes to me good-old souvenirs. I got the feeling of awakening in the 80s when

DOUBLE REVIEW @VITALWEEKLY

Vital Weekly presented a double review in their Episode no. 1356 and I like it. Thanks so much! Podcast link to follow right after the review. FRAGMENT KING - ANGEL POSITION (CD by Nexialist) FRAGMENT KING - RETREAT (cassette by Annihilvs) "In 2014 there was the MHz label run by Maurizio and Boris from Klangstabil, and one of the final releases was "Angel Position" by Fragment King. Hearing this album now, there are two questions that come to mind: 1) Isn't this too harsh to be on MHz, knowing Maurizio and Boris a bit? The answer is no. Because Klangstabil can do pure noise and the song-structured stuff they've become 'famous' with. As with Klangstabil, it's about crossing borders, incorporating different styles, and getting something out that shouldn't stay locked inside.     Fragment King is Mark Kammerbauer, and this is his main project regarding music. He did things in the past with Leech from Navicon Torture Technologies and a colla
