Abflug 03 on the Ground

[Abflug 03] Hinterlandt: Sitting, Going Places / Karri
O.: Departures and Arrivals

The whole airplane metaphor is getting out of hand.
Titled 'Sitting, Going Places/Departures and
Arrivals,' the third Abflug release is all about air
transit, with music by German musician Hinterlandt and
video by Finnish Karri O.

Sitting, Going Places is a 4-track plane ride for your
mind from German producer Hinterlandt, aka Jochen
Gutsch, whose musical history includes classical
trumpet, noise guitar, and math rock. A neo-digital
tribute to the long haul, each track has a distinct
sound, be it nostalgic ambient, dark scapes or dance
electro. Hinterlandt's music has also been released on
c.u.e. records in Japan.

Better known as a deejay and musician, Finnish Karri
O. makes his debut release as a video artist with
Departures and Arrivals. A diehard fan of air
transportation, Karri puts the seemingly mundane
glimpses of everyday terminal traffic in a new light,
set to original music that ties it all together. 

The CD will soon be available through the Abflug
website and several distributors and record stores
throughout Europe, Canada and Australia. Check out the
website at www.abflugrec.com for more information.
 
In Case You Don't Know What Abflug Is

Abflug is a Helsinki, Finland-based label dedicated to
electronic music and video arts. The aural criteria
for Abflug releases ranges from soundscapes to echoing
glitch to ambient to crunchbeat to deep techno. 

Each Abflug release contains both an audio and a
visual element. The two components are complimentary
but separate, and not necessarily by the same artist.
The format for the first Abflug releases will be
CD-Extra, which means that there will be two sessions
on the CD: audio tracks in the first session (for CD
player), and QuickTime video clips (for computer) in
the second session.

We are currently looking for distributors and stores
to spread Abflug releases to the world. If you would
be interested in distributing our music, please send
us an email at info@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Thank you, and have a pleasant journey.

What People Are Saying About Abflug 01: Connections /
Apinavideo

'Connections seems to work at a very subliminal level,
emanating from a dreamtime state. The closest point of
reference may be Pole's crackly minimalist dub, but
this has a different focus. The music is meditative
and pure, and the textures are similar to Tibetan
bells. Connections is a great listen with a doob; it
invites quiet introspection and fuzzy navel gazing
without letting you become too self-indulgent.

...Images of gorillas and monkeys pulse and bob to
tinkly piano, anchored by a deep deep bass. It's
entrancing and fun at the same time, the aural
equivalent of rain softly falling rhythmically on
still water. '
--XOX Magazine (www.xoxmag.com) April 2003

'.carefully designed and balanced dub-flowing sound
textures. With its 23 and a half minutes of
instrumental music, this EP is an urban experimental
microscopic dub soundscape; drifting airy music that's
like an endless wave of minimal abstractions.
-- Igloo Magazine (www.igloomag.com) April 2003

'With this release we are entering strange territories
and opening couple perspectives in art.'
