Tales of the Nexialist Organization

Any day is a good day to remember Z'EV, percussionist, poet, artist. He was born as Stephan Joel Weisser and passed away in 2017. He continues to be a formative and seminal sound artist of Industrial Culture. Z'EV is widely recognized for his experimental percussion performances and recordings. His CDs were released on labels such as Cold Spring, Soleilmoon, Tzadik or Subterranean. He avidly worked together with numerous artists, performing and recording across the globe. "The foundation of my work, regardless of genre, is process." (www.rhythmajik.com) Z'EV and I first met in 2005 at a festival in Prague. After our respective gigs we spent the evening sitting next to each other and talking. In 2008 we met again in Berlin. After his festival show he announced that he, Marcelo Aguire and I would perform together. And so it happened. The three of us together with vocalist Alexandra von Bolz'n played at Gallery Wallywoods. We continued to work together afterwards

RETREAT by Fragment King was released one year ago by ANNIHILVS POWER ELECTRONIX! "All in tense minimalism, FRAGMENT KING alias Mark Kammerbauer floods space with guitar notes crawling on porous surfaces, impregnated with industrial dampness. RETREAT is not without evoking the universe of Godflesh in emaciated mode, fluttering on heaps of pointillist notes supported by spectral rhythms with a mechanical consistency. FRAGMENT KING elaborates an underground world of abstract hallucinations, bent under the weight of diffuse shadows and soft lacerations. The stridency stretches out to become suffering songs, emerging from drifting worlds. The vocals treated appear sporadically, linking us to a life in tatters seeking to flee a permanent darkness. Very highly recommended." Silence and Sound RETREAT by FRAGMENT KING
