| | Kommentare zum Künstler/Projekt 'All Sides' | | Von allseits: | ALL SIDES, DEBUT EP, 2006 MAKE MINE MUSIC, mmm025
All Sides is the sound project of Nina Kernicke. Born, living and making music in Bremen, North Germany, Nina blends field recordings, sampled beats, bass and processed guitar into dark, brooding instrumental pieces.
Lying somewhere between hip-hop and ambient, rock and minimalism, the seven tracks on the debut release hint at the breadth and depth of music that Nina has recorded and what is to come. Beautiful, uneasy listening.

"SHUTUN" ALBUM, 2007 Old EUROPA CAFE, oecd089

“DEDALUS” ALBUM, 2007 MAKE MINE MUSIC, mmm036
Following two EPs on Make Mine Music and Chat Blanc Records, and a collaborative album with Troum on Old Europa Café, “Dedalus” is the first full-length album from Nina Kernicke aka All Sides. Drawing influence from the likes of Slowdive, Radiohead, Scorn, Meat Beat Manifesto and Mark Hollis, to name but a few, Nina’s music has been greeted with praise from many quarters, including Boomkat who noted that the music of All Sides successfully merged many styles into a “euphoric” blend.
“Dedalus” is partly an expression and reflection of Nina’s personal experiences, but it was also inspired by recording the album “Shutun” and touring Poland, Finland, Canada and USA with Troum, an experimental, drone outfit based in Nina’s hometown of Bremen, Germany.
The album’s title is, in part, a reference to the character Stephen Dedalus in the James Joyce’s classic novel Ulysses. The title track gives a clearer indication about the context, in its use of a sample from a cinematic version of the novel, in which Dedalus walks along a beach, looking out to sea, becoming aware of his loneliness. Simultaneously, the title refers to the character from Greek mythology whose son Icarus dies during their escape from Crete - Dedalus and Icarus build wings out of feathers and wax and, in spite of warnings, Icarus flies too high and too close to the sun, melting the wax and plunging him into the sea.
References to both of these can be found throughout the album, but they are as much metaphors for Nina’s personal experiences as they are literary references. The eleven tracks on the album are reflections on - and attempts to come to terms with - dreams, doubts, loneliness, suicide, the need to escape from both the world and the self, and the knowledge that one should not abandon hope nor lose sight of the beauty of the world. Where there is darkness, there is also light.
Musically, you can find dark loops and drifting beats accompanied by deep basslines and distorted drones and melodies. The origin of some of the sounds is hard to pinpoint – “Luv” and “Into the Sea”, for example, are created solely from guitar and vocals. Elsewhere, you will find pitched down triphop beats, strange time signatures and reverb-drenched “wall of sound” guitars. “Dedalus” is a perfect distillation of its inspirations – it is an album of stark contrasts, from dark melancholy to shimmering hope.
The CD comes housed in luxurious cardboard and felt packaging, limited to 500 copies.

| Problems with Winamp last two weeks |
It seems many people still use Winamp to listen to the stream.
Two weeks ago, my radio software SAM Broadcaster began to create unaccaptable bad sound and I wasn't able to solve it. So I looked for an alternative and found a nice freeware: RadioDJ. Because the AltaCast plugin didn't work with the AAC+ encoder, I needed to connect RadioDJ to the stand-alone version of AltaCast via a virtual audio cable (VB-Audio). Getting it running was a rather painful experience.
But I got complaints from Winamp users being not able to listen to the stream anymore. So I requested some technical support to get SAM Broadcaster running again. This is how it looks, btw., a user interface style from 20 years ago:
I think, I will switch to a Linux server somewhere in the far future and use Opus instead of AAC+. Hopefully more people have abandoned Winamp by then. But maybe bandwidth will be cheap enough to provide a mp3 stream for nostalgic reasons. :-p

| The Internet Archive |
It's the 1st of December and many organizations put their hat on the data highway and beat the drums to collect donatins.
A special case this year is the San Francisco based Internet Archive that wants to make a backup of its collection in Canada -- maybe to escape the reach of a Trumpian administration.
Since many years now, before soundcloud or even MySpace existed, I always found some pearls when I delved into the audio library. It seems to be the best place to carve something in stone on the internet. So if you have some bugs left in your pocket and you are thinking about donating it for some good cause, consider good old archive.org.
I wish you all a nice contemplative winter time!
