Antinote is a young Parisian label run by Quentin “Zaltan” Vandewalle and Gwen Jamies alias Lueke. It all started with Luekes old techno tapes he produced in the early nineties. It’s release formed the basement for the future career of the label.
One could not overhear the influence of bands like Ultravox, Felt or the Yellow Magic Orchestra. The latest compilation also hosts instrumental pieces that Renner composed exclusively for an exhibition of paintings. Today Mark is still active as an artist and musician. We‘ve asked him about his recent work, his inspiration and his future plans.
Entire volumes could be written about the output of the label Vinyl on Demand. The roughly 150 re-releases of obscure, long-forgotten material—mostly located somewhere between experimental, minimal, and early-80s noise—each has its own story. Here a mere two of our favorites briefly are introduced.
kaitlyn aurelia smith's formative years were spent communing with nature on orcas island in the northwest region of washington state, a place she describes as "one of the most magical and peaceful places i have ever been.
great work by the french collectors dj sundae (who run the brilliant idle press & hollie imprints) and julien dechery. a deep sentimental journey into obscure folk and art pop.
tomaga is valentina magaletti and tom relleen. the two london musicians have toured galleries and art spaces near and far; here they share their thoughts about various exhibitions and spaces from new york to antwerp.
hello! well, first i’d like to express my absolute enthusiasm for your lovely work. i have rarely encountered a label with such a individual and innovative spirit.
"this is me on a friday, pondering about a ‘best of’ mix tape for you with the friendly ears. tough decisions to be made… i’m told to concentrate on drone/ambient stuff, but there is so much more to listen to and discover than what ends up in this list.
The Los Angeles-based film director and author Ashkan Soltani shot a documentary about Jandek together with Craig Matarrese about one of the most mysterious American musicians with a large international cult following. The film provides rare access to the elusive performer and an intimate examination of Jandek's creative process. We have the chance to raise a few questions to Soltani himself.
toru takemitsu was a japanese composer and writer on aesthetics and music theory. largely self-taught, takemitsu possessed consummate skill in the subtle manipulation of instrumental and orchestral timbre.
When listening to music by the likes of American label Hot Releases, one repeatedly encounters a performance-like aesthetics which seems influenced by Sonic Youth or Maurizio Bianchi. As Secret Boyfriend, Ryan Martin’s music is distinguished by neurotic noises and reduced synths combined with a lo-fi songwriter voice—see, for example, the recent Grovl release They’re Playing Themselves or the 2013 Blackest Ever Black release This Is Always Where You’ve Lived.
while doing research for an article about pauline anna strom, i came across an image of journalist and internet theorist hannes grassegger holing one of strom’s records. in the process of searching for the story behind the image, hannes sent me an extensive reply and explanation. read the original german text for the first time here.

In the Age of hyper energy im still driven by the light.
Sunrise. Sunset. Repeat.
In the first hour of waking when the hormone levels peak, I know I gotta get going and leave the maze behind.
Do the trees really know more than we do?
Palms facing skyward.
Happy at midnight.
I will visit this place in my dreams again and again.
Fresh reset greetings,
YESH
YESH is a tibetan singer / performing artist born and raised in Switzerland, based in New York City. In 2020 she released her debut EP hours 2147 with Pique Projects. Her latest work 49 days - a dance theater piece created together with the collective xenometok - premiered in early 2022 at the Theaterhaus Gessnerallee in Zürich. YESH recently performed at Le Consulat and Port de Suffren in Paris, at Zentralwäscherei ZW Zürich and at the Rubin Museum of Art in NYC.
A mix created by fromheretillnow for the listening session "painless-listening" happened in Bern, Switzerland, at the offspace PROZESS Kultur & Bar.
Sabiwa is an experimental electronic composer and performer from Taiwan. She produces, records, and dissects sounds and videos from natural and synthetic sources, making them interact with complex textures and abstract patterns. Additionally, she also uses her processed voice as a guide in her soundscapes. As connecting elements, performances and DJ sets by Magari, Xafya, and Jauss will fill the dusty tunnel of Zurich’s iconic venue.
Premiering the performance ELEKTRA (Scream Through the Eyes of a Statue) in 2018, the artist James K marked the beginning of her residency at ISSUE, NYC. Deeply rooted in a conscious art practice that has honed her peculiar aesthetic to the fusion of visual and sonic elements, with ELEKTRA, James K explored the female voice considering it as an "X-ray to the bones of sound."
'Echo Shelves' was a special evening that featured soundscapes by Nina Emge and Heith, presented by fromheretillnow in collaboration with the artist Dominic Michel and Istituto Svizzero. 'Echo Shelves' gathered thoughts on the scenic quality of public inventories and used objects, sound, and places as carriers of stories that continually transformed and extended themselves. The event symbolized the gradual fading of the current exhibition, marking a transition into a 'dark mode' that marked the exhibition's conclusion.
With the invitation to the PARA/SITE O. SINENSIS event, which was curated by Lhaga Koondhor, fromheretillnow responded with a selection of moving images and music videos that were focused on noise and the complex relationship between host and parasite.
A glimpse behind the scenes reveals an authentic parallel world that stands in strong contrast to the perfectly staged show. The scene as a whole appears unfinished, chaotic, and somehow improvised. Ultimately, everything is aimed at a specific moment that fades away after a certain time and only exists in our thoughts or in recordings in the form of sound, videos or images.
This is the kind of music I want to make with the "Wave Notation" series. because music is not only meant to be something which exists atone, What I am attempting to do, in an overall sense, can be called `sound design'. This includes the adjustment and regulation of sounds which are proper to an environment, along with the production and composition of the music within this series. Possibly, for a given environment, just one sound would be sufficient.
Just moments away from Johanna Odersky's album launch and the multifaceted exhibition set to grace Berlin's Projektraum Ashleys, I found myself immersed in conversation with the artist and musician at her studio nestled outside the bustling city. Together, we embarked on a journey exploring the nuances of spaces, emotions, and the transformative effects of sampling on her artistic practice.
FHTN 1123 is a grassroots project by Zurich-based music editor and Fromheretillnow curator Marc Jauss. Inspired by the tragic romance of “Sister Küngold and the Pale Knight,” an audio-collage of contemporary experimental music by selected musicians has been crafted.
Dreamcore.vol 1 captures the raw energy of an untamed underground music scene, that fiercely defies the tides imposed by the rapidly-evolving urban landscape. The compilation offers an atmospheric journey through obscure textures, distorted rhythms and vivid soundscapes and grasps subconscious aspects of collective experience.
JUNCTIONS:SYMPOSIA took place on the afternoon and evening of January 21st 2023, at Brasseries Atlas in Brussels. In the form of a symposium, cultural workers from Zürich and Brussels presented, performed and displayed work in order to initiate conversation and establish first contact with each other.

Orlando is an ongoing formalist archival project dedicated to exploring the capacity for consecutive sounds, transcripts, images, films, and texts to affect one another according to their literal and thematic proximites.
There are many approaches to running a record label. Finding a niche and sticking with it is one, sprawling out into many different directions another. Yegorka’s mode of operation is the latter. The label is run by DJ and producer Tobias Lee Christensen aka Why Be and Dan DeNorch, who founded the now defunct party series and label Janus with Michael Ladner.
Imprisoned by an unreal site of frozen remains to a highly developed civilisation that seemed to have vanished entirely in view of these inhumane conditions we began a routine of expedition like walks and daily experimentations with musical equipment.
Based on the format of the live stream, 'fromheretillnow' offers insight into self-produced images and found footage, inviting viewers on a journey of new discoveries. Accompanied by musical pieces and exclusive tracks from individuals in our community, the stream provides a unique experience.
The latest works of the young artist Sung Tieu are influenced by her visit to the mountainous region of Bạch Mã in her home country of Vietnam. Her prose and experiments on the traditional Vietnamese stringed instrument Đàn Bầu underlie the wordless universes created by the Hamburg musician and artist Christian Naujoks. His melancholic soundscapes are based on short, concise melodies and the use of relays and echo effects on the guitar.
After infinite hours listening to decomposing moldy tapes that i found in a metal box during a hike on the mountains near Glarus, i compiled a series of limited edition mixtapes that Ill be releasing in collaboration with fromheretillnow.
The Parisian musician Emma DJ recently released his sample album "Time To Medditate" on the Bandcamp platform. For this, he used all sorts of material from well-known or lesser-known musicians such as Sega Bodega, 50 Cent, D-Savage, Ariana Grande, Salem, Wintertime, LL Cool J, Bitsu, Dayna Simple, Thouxanbanfauni, or Lil Tracy. The album cover was designed by Marc Jauss and Jordi Theler.
The Zurich collective Kashev Tapes recently published the sampler Sonic Resistance in cooperation with the Polish platform Oramics.
Rare are moments like this: hearing Elephant Château's song "Dreamings" two years ago, I was instantly hooked. Who were the clever people that came up with this strange and beautiful music? A couple of months later, I met Mark van de Maat of label Knekelhuis in Amsterdam. He told me that Maxi Fischer and Matthias Orsett are putting together a compilation of Swiss electronic and experimental music. One thing led to another, and last spring I met up with Max Spielmann in Basel and in December again, this time joined by Johannes Vetsch, the other core member of Elephant Château.
Departures, a music video for Sky Walking directed with Hanna Schwarz, shows an underwater world whose movements appear to be remote-controlled by music. As the video progresses the surrounding aquarium becomes apparent with human figures observing this world as if on a touchscreen display.
during last years ctm/transmediale festival i met cera khin, berlin based artist and selector with tunisian roots, in a breezy-cold passage in front of the hardwax record store.
i remember this one cold october day in zurich. back then, i used to live in this spacious four room apartment in the middle of the city, which had a very modest interior, a guest-bed and an lo-fi stereo unit. my two french guests from paris, louis vial and cyrus goberville from collapsing market, didn’t need more to feel safe…
The imprint was launched in 2010 with Secret Parking Lot, the enigmatic debut from Samantha Glass. Behind the pseudonym is the skateboarder and self-confessed Rihanna fan Beau Devereaux, who on the one hand runs the label and on the other, as an artist, wears many skins: as Anvil Dome, Victor Portsmouth, Roan Linden, and even Samantha Glass, he produces mystical sound landscapes.

„The people who upload old vinyl rips to YouTube for free have done more for music than these hit piece types ever will'' recently appeared on Iceboy's X feed. The artist, originally from Manchester, deforms and deconstructs samples, blending them into radical sound objects. Their album, Not A Dream But A Controlled Explosion, was recently released on Rainy Miller's brilliant label, Fixed Abode. In it, the Rapper explores the themes of daydreams, hallucinations, and desires, which, according to their statements, influence and shape our reality.

Unmittelbar vor dem Launch von Johanna Oderskys neuem Album, welcher im Projektraum Ashleys in Berlin stattfand, traf ich mich zu einem Gespräch mit der Künstlerin und Musikerin in ihrem Studio außerhalb der hektischen Großstadt. Gemeinsam erkundeten wir die Facetten von Räumen, Emotionen und die transformative Wirkung des Samplings auf ihre künstlerische Praxis.

There are many approaches to running a record label. Finding a niche and sticking with it is one, sprawling out into many different directions another. Yegorka’s mode of operation is the latter. The label is run by DJ and producer Tobias Lee Christensen aka Why Be and Dan DeNorch, who founded the now defunct party series and label Janus with Michael Ladner.
Imprisoned by an unreal site of frozen remains to a highly developed civilisation that seemed to have vanished entirely in view of these inhumane conditions we began a routine of expedition like walks and daily experimentations with musical equipment.
Based on the format of the live stream, 'fromheretillnow' offers insight into self-produced images and found footage, inviting viewers on a journey of new discoveries. Accompanied by musical pieces and exclusive tracks from individuals in our community, the stream provides a unique experience.
The latest works of the young artist Sung Tieu are influenced by her visit to the mountainous region of Bạch Mã in her home country of Vietnam. Her prose and experiments on the traditional Vietnamese stringed instrument Đàn Bầu underlie the wordless universes created by the Hamburg musician and artist Christian Naujoks. His melancholic soundscapes are based on short, concise melodies and the use of relays and echo effects on the guitar.
After infinite hours listening to decomposing moldy tapes that i found in a metal box during a hike on the mountains near Glarus, i compiled a series of limited edition mixtapes that Ill be releasing in collaboration with fromheretillnow.
The Parisian musician Emma DJ recently released his sample album "Time To Medditate" on the Bandcamp platform. For this, he used all sorts of material from well-known or lesser-known musicians such as Sega Bodega, 50 Cent, D-Savage, Ariana Grande, Salem, Wintertime, LL Cool J, Bitsu, Dayna Simple, Thouxanbanfauni, or Lil Tracy. The album cover was designed by Marc Jauss and Jordi Theler.
The Zurich collective Kashev Tapes recently published the sampler Sonic Resistance in cooperation with the Polish platform Oramics.
Rare are moments like this: hearing Elephant Château's song "Dreamings" two years ago, I was instantly hooked. Who were the clever people that came up with this strange and beautiful music? A couple of months later, I met Mark van de Maat of label Knekelhuis in Amsterdam. He told me that Maxi Fischer and Matthias Orsett are putting together a compilation of Swiss electronic and experimental music. One thing led to another, and last spring I met up with Max Spielmann in Basel and in December again, this time joined by Johannes Vetsch, the other core member of Elephant Château.
Departures, a music video for Sky Walking directed with Hanna Schwarz, shows an underwater world whose movements appear to be remote-controlled by music. As the video progresses the surrounding aquarium becomes apparent with human figures observing this world as if on a touchscreen display.
during last years ctm/transmediale festival i met cera khin, berlin based artist and selector with tunisian roots, in a breezy-cold passage in front of the hardwax record store.
i remember this one cold october day in zurich. back then, i used to live in this spacious four room apartment in the middle of the city, which had a very modest interior, a guest-bed and an lo-fi stereo unit. my two french guests from paris, louis vial and cyrus goberville from collapsing market, didn’t need more to feel safe…
The imprint was launched in 2010 with Secret Parking Lot, the enigmatic debut from Samantha Glass. Behind the pseudonym is the skateboarder and self-confessed Rihanna fan Beau Devereaux, who on the one hand runs the label and on the other, as an artist, wears many skins: as Anvil Dome, Victor Portsmouth, Roan Linden, and even Samantha Glass, he produces mystical sound landscapes.

In his essay Material and Man, published in Metabolism 1960 for the World Design Conference in Tokyo in the same year, the Japanese architecture critic and metabolist Noboru Kawazoe wrote a short poem as part of the Metabolist Manifesto. The titles of the three parts are (freely translated)

A mix created by fromheretillnow for the listening session "painless-listening" happened in Bern, Switzerland, at the offspace PROZESS Kultur & Bar.
Sabiwa is an experimental electronic composer and performer from Taiwan. She produces, records, and dissects sounds and videos from natural and synthetic sources, making them interact with complex textures and abstract patterns. Additionally, she also uses her processed voice as a guide in her soundscapes. As connecting elements, performances and DJ sets by Magari, Xafya, and Jauss will fill the dusty tunnel of Zurich’s iconic venue.
Premiering the performance ELEKTRA (Scream Through the Eyes of a Statue) in 2018, the artist James K marked the beginning of her residency at ISSUE, NYC. Deeply rooted in a conscious art practice that has honed her peculiar aesthetic to the fusion of visual and sonic elements, with ELEKTRA, James K explored the female voice considering it as an "X-ray to the bones of sound."
'Echo Shelves' was a special evening that featured soundscapes by Nina Emge and Heith, presented by fromheretillnow in collaboration with the artist Dominic Michel and Istituto Svizzero. 'Echo Shelves' gathered thoughts on the scenic quality of public inventories and used objects, sound, and places as carriers of stories that continually transformed and extended themselves. The event symbolized the gradual fading of the current exhibition, marking a transition into a 'dark mode' that marked the exhibition's conclusion.
With the invitation to the PARA/SITE O. SINENSIS event, which was curated by Lhaga Koondhor, fromheretillnow responded with a selection of moving images and music videos that were focused on noise and the complex relationship between host and parasite.
A glimpse behind the scenes reveals an authentic parallel world that stands in strong contrast to the perfectly staged show. The scene as a whole appears unfinished, chaotic, and somehow improvised. Ultimately, everything is aimed at a specific moment that fades away after a certain time and only exists in our thoughts or in recordings in the form of sound, videos or images.
This is the kind of music I want to make with the "Wave Notation" series. because music is not only meant to be something which exists atone, What I am attempting to do, in an overall sense, can be called `sound design'. This includes the adjustment and regulation of sounds which are proper to an environment, along with the production and composition of the music within this series. Possibly, for a given environment, just one sound would be sufficient.
Just moments away from Johanna Odersky's album launch and the multifaceted exhibition set to grace Berlin's Projektraum Ashleys, I found myself immersed in conversation with the artist and musician at her studio nestled outside the bustling city. Together, we embarked on a journey exploring the nuances of spaces, emotions, and the transformative effects of sampling on her artistic practice.
FHTN 1123 is a grassroots project by Zurich-based music editor and Fromheretillnow curator Marc Jauss. Inspired by the tragic romance of “Sister Küngold and the Pale Knight,” an audio-collage of contemporary experimental music by selected musicians has been crafted.
Dreamcore.vol 1 captures the raw energy of an untamed underground music scene, that fiercely defies the tides imposed by the rapidly-evolving urban landscape. The compilation offers an atmospheric journey through obscure textures, distorted rhythms and vivid soundscapes and grasps subconscious aspects of collective experience.
JUNCTIONS:SYMPOSIA took place on the afternoon and evening of January 21st 2023, at Brasseries Atlas in Brussels. In the form of a symposium, cultural workers from Zürich and Brussels presented, performed and displayed work in order to initiate conversation and establish first contact with each other.
The first E.N.C event will take place in Zurich‘s Offspace Mikro and will show selected works that are the result of research on DIY aesthetics in non-commercial and contemporary music videos. The programme is offered as an audio-visual mixtape, highlighting works by local and international artists that include references to DIY methods in production and aesthetics.
