Out now: moduS ponY – Fleeced of their Wares

Categories: Releases

“Cologne/LA cassette label superpolar Taïps released the wonderful ‘Fleeced of their Wares’ by moduS ponY who sounds like a wibbly, very minimal Lambchop… with no singing.”

— Neil Mason, Moonbuilding Mag, Issue Four, 2023

There’s this shed out in the desert. They keep breaking in and taking stuff. Every time I try to secure the door, they find some way in. None of it is mine anyway, which is probably why I gave up after the third robbery. It’s funny though, the things I think are worth something they tend to leave: some old records, 16 track reel to reel tape, some flood lights, a wheelbarrow, a glass head, a book about how George Bush lied a lot. Every time I peruse its contents, I find some quirky thing in there. Maybe that’s what the thieves like about it too. To tell the truth, I don’t really know what they’ve stolen because I’ve never taken a thorough inventory. It’s better that way. Maybe it’s something I would have wanted, but I’m not going to miss it.

“Being a fan of moduS PonY‘s work since his split cassette with VLK on Strategic Tape Reserve and Systemmetry [SPT Cassingle #6], it is a pleasure for me to co-release this.

I believe that with his unusual arrangements, scales and beats, moduS Pony is certainly one of the most interesting guitarists and musicians around these days.”

Ball Geographie – Live at Budokan (SPT01)

Categories: Releases

Many references and elements come to mind when trying to describe Ball Geographie’s music: From Chamber Pop to Disco. From Lo-fi to High-End. Found sound referencing the likes of Studio Braun. Fully conscious use of presets, but only when they make full sense. Beats. No improvisation, everything is always structured to the maximum. 80ies vibes, folky guitars, timelessness …. It is electronic, and acoustic.

Ball Geographie lives, works and produces his music in Cologne, Germany. He loves his Boss DR-550 and its HiQ sound. Kalimbas, musical toys and Dictaphones too.
