“A Harvest of Pleasure: Sexy Fun and Farming“
Farming, often associated with toil and drudgery, can also be a surprisingly sensual andplayful activity. The rhythm of the seasons, the tactile experience of working the land, and the shared sense of accomplishment can all contribute to a heightened sense of intimacy and pleasure. One only thinks about the sowing of seeds. The gentle touch of fingers on delicate seedlings, the anticipation of growth, and the nurturing care required can create a deeply satisfying and sensual experience.
Harvesting, too, can be a sensual affair, as one plucks ripe fruits and vegetables from the earth, feeling their warmth and succulence. Beyond the physical aspects, farming can also foster emotional intimacy. Couples can work together in the garden, sharing laughter, sweat, and a sense of shared purpose. The feeling of accomplishment that comes from growing one's own food can also strengthen bonds and create a sense of shared pride. Text from the album Lust (1).
Gajek
Matti Gajek produces and performs electronic music under the stage name Gajek. Born in the GDR Gajek reflects on the emotional echo of ruptures and discontinuities: music about odd timelines, grief and ecstasy, weird youth cultures, hidden fashion codes, personal tragedies and strange haircuts. Remediating the forgotten archive of East German subcultures from a contemporary perspective Gajek´s music explores evolving textures of high-energy digital composition. In a unique production technique Gajek fractures and inverses modern genres emphasizing their out-of-jointness: creating oscillating atmospheres combined with haunting lyrical work.
Since 2014 Gajek has released five studio albums on Labels such as Stroom, Infinite Greyscale, Throttle Records and more. He composes music for films, theatre, exhibitions and performances, most recently for the critically acclaimed film The Investigation by RP Kahl and the award-winning short film Fear does not Exist by Anna Zett.
In 2022 Gajek launched mix series Socialist Realness on UK radio Resonance Extra focusing on avant-garde music produced in the GDR and shortly after the fall of the Berlin wall. Matti Gajek lives and works in Berlin.
