Ludwig Wandinger
An album of hypnagogic nocturnes that relentlessly searches for a sense of calm in the great unknown, Is Peace Wild? is experimental producer, drummer, performer and visual artist Ludwig Wandinger's upcoming release on light-years. He dreamt it up while unpacking the breakdown of a long relationship, working in hotel rooms during the downtime between a series of chaotic live shows. To help empty his mind, Wandinger developed a suite of soulful reflections that prioritize harmony over rhythm and clarity over trivial complexity - music that confronts the eternal duality of romance and tragedy. Almost beatless and consistently sublime, Is Peace Wild? is punctuated by hypnotic lyrical contributions from multi-disciplinary artist, poet and activist Yves B. Golden and producer and vocalist Evita Manji, both of whom bless the album with indispensable friendship and familiarity. "It's almost as if they were telling me a good night story", says Wandinger.
Open-ended and tangled with emotional paradoxes, Is Peace Wild? can be interpreted in many different ways. Wandinger's own serenity is personal, but laying himself bare, he provides listeners with a cracked mirror to consider their unique patchwork of conundrums.
ronja
ronja is a multi instrumentalist and songwriter based in Berlin. Her new EP For Annette was conceived over the span of one year, recorded and produced in her studio in Berlin and at «Kunglinga Musikhögskolan» in Stockholm with additional production by Luka Aron. It contains candid songwriting, hazy but detailed guitar figures; ethereal, multi-layered flute pieces and a voice full of vibrant sensitivities.
With her latest release something about us, ronja defines her songwriting: candid, multi-dimensional, soft but loud, and full of heart. Her music has become an introspective world unto itself. Her delivery is light, insistent – the tone you would use to convey passing thoughts to your dearest person in the room. – Acna Rusd, 2021
