Black To Comm

Black To Comm is an alias for Dekorder label owner Marc Richter's audio excursions. Richter creates his music using scratchy shellac and vinyl records, field recordings, a so called "kitchen gamelan," and more traditional instruments like organs, guitars, pianos and mbiras. The layering and hypnotic repetition of short loops from Psychedelia, Free Jazz, Vaudeville, and various other old recordings reveals alternative melodic dimensions not apparent in the source material.

Ornithologist

Formed in Wellington, New Zealand in 2007, Ornithologist was initially conceived in jest as one of the 2 fellow Akaname members' many hypothetical side-projects (most of which would usually get lost among the "what-if's" of hazy late night bong-theory). The crux: instrumental interpretations of birdsong - composed of the silliest imaginable guitar gymnastics played in tandem over cheesy retro drum-machine programmes; with a kink somewhere between 80's electro-pop, 90's trip-hop and all metal sub-genres conceivable; all to be performed live while adorning silly bird masks.

Vei

www.veimusic.co.uk Veí is the alias of multi-instrumentalist, producer and current 'Kin' keyboardist Jonn Dean. Having made computer-based music for over a decade, this latest solo project is a complete departure from typically modern techniques and sees Dean returning to a hardware-only setup. Using live loopers, samplers and drum machines with a plethora of circuit-bent and glitchy fx - Veí's sound is awash with samples of orchestral and world instruments mixed with complex percussion and lo-fi beats.
