Décalé Information and Bongo Joe Information current an all new compilation inserting the highlight on the Swiss experimental and digital scene of the ?80s and the early ?90s. The compilation Intenta assembles under-appreciated gems, sought-after titles and newly combined variations. It locations leftfield synth-pop subsequent to otherworldly jazz, and joins the dots between lyrical post-punk excursions and proto-house experimentation. The compilation covers a interval of transition: When songs mutated into sounds. When synthesizers and samplers grew to become the règle du jeu in DIY music-making. When a politicized youth motion slowly gave strategy to the hedonistic embrace of techno tradition in Switzerland. Intenta mines the outer fringes of a scene but to be. Many of those experimenters have been just about on their very own. Typically the one manner you’ll get in contact was on the native synth supplier. A spirit of daring improvisation inhabited studios between Geneva and St. Gallen: these artists have been articulating pop sensibilities (Air Venture, Sky Hen, D-Sire, Peter Philippe Weiss), getting into pc worlds (Claudine Chirac, Olivier Rogg, Carlos Perón), exploring unique shores (Andreas Hofer, Bells of Kyoto, Fizzè), constructing future discothèques (Aborted at Line 6, Carol Wealthy, UnknownmiX) or discovering glacial bliss (Dressed Up Animals, Elephant Château, I Suonatori). The compilation was put collectively by Matthias Orsett and Maxi Fischer. Intenta unfolds as a sonic story that’s laid-back but energetic, sultry but daring. The 2 crate diggers got down to meet with lots of the artists arrayed right here. Reminiscences have been shared, wine bottles opened. There have been moments of unhappiness: Karl Lienert Löwenherz (Dressed Up Animals) and Claudius Scholer (Sky Hen) handed away throughout the making of this undertaking. What stays of this journey into the backrooms of Swiss widespread tradition, is Intenta. For those who pay attention carefully, it should reveal a nation on the transfer. Past the Matterhorn, there may be sweetness and light-weight.
