Swim: JFTL, Belia Winnewisser, molekühl, Terminal Beach, Tesdorpf
𝑱𝙁𝑻𝙇 (𝒍𝙞𝒗𝙚) JFTL has been working between three continents for just as many decades, applying a structurally and institutionally unbounded, anti-formal touch to cultural production throughout. JFTL's practice includes, but is not restricted by: moving image, sound, and installation. The new album «jason from the lake» directs attention to ten previously underappreciated fragments of labour, and will be presented at Wurm alongside the artists visual output. 𝘽𝒆𝙡𝒊𝙖 𝙒𝒊𝙣𝒏𝙚𝒘𝙞𝒔𝙨𝒆𝙧 (𝒍𝙞𝒗𝙚) Belia Winnewisser is a multimedia artist based in Zurich, mainly operating within the scope of electronic music these days. She's released two futuristic, avant-pop records to date, both of which we enjoyed very much. We think she's still active in her two band projects, a=f/m and Silver First, but intend to ask her about it on the night. Last year, there was a lot of noise surrounding her collaboration with visual artist Subrihanna. This time around, she'll deliver a sparkling solo performance of her own music, live. 𝒎𝙤𝒍𝙚𝒌𝙪̈𝒉𝙡 (𝒍𝙞𝒗𝙚) molekühl is a highly active ingredient of our subcultural scapes, performing both as a DJ and live musician. Her output ranges from analogue synth trips to music for film and dance, with various collaborations and improvisations spread between. She draws upon her experience as a pianist, musicologist and soundscape composer to inform new and eerie sonic explorations, all guided by a strong sense of narrative structure and fidelity. She's great, and we're happy to have her in Basel finally! 𝑻𝙚𝒓𝙢𝒊𝙣𝒂𝙡 𝘽𝒆𝙖𝒄𝙝 (𝒍𝙞𝒗𝙚) Terminal Beach is a very much under the radar project by two of our favourite chaos heads, Other System and Mark Lando. Both kinda collaborated on the very first swim release. «how to open your eyes under water» was a split cassette featuring whimsical ambient tracks to make your head glow. Terminal Beach goes the other way, delivering proto-post everything rugged drum tracks and chirping machinery instead. 𝑻𝙚𝒔𝙙𝒐𝙧𝒑𝙛 (𝒅𝙟) Speaking of proto-post everything: once all is said and done, Tesdorpf will play some records until the end of night, and it's gonna be trippy and very danceable and you'll probably leave with a happy feeling in your belly.
