Other Worlds is Florian Pirker from Graz who initially grabbed our attention as one half of long-standing DJ duo doze when they dropped their mix Why do you have to point out how stupid everyone is all the time? back in 2012. We immediately put it out as #25 of our ongoing podcast series. Fast forward to 2016 and we're happy to announce that our ninth release on disko404 Records is Other Worlds' debut EP entitled Two Minute Sound Sculptures.
The EP consists of seven distinctively psychedelic vignettes. Each of them unfold layer upon layer like snapshots of particular moments in the form of unmistakable melodies gathered throughout the course of a most memorable week in the early summer in 2015. Florian took it upon himself to come up with a jam each day on a pocket piano and his heavily fx-ed guitar. Hints of percussive elements might be heard here and there. Steeped in the aura of time's passing, so to say, as felt through his mind. Here reverb-drenched snatches of beeping and broken arpeggios meet scatters of hi-hats jazzily caressed, or splashes of synth-washes collide with subtle though ever-embracing warm drones; where a field recording of rain evolves with humility into feedbacks that seem to hark forth from the ether, portraying what elation must feel like. Intuitive and highly evocative notes in one's diary open to multiple interpretations. The videos Florian produced carve out a similar terrain: each consists of small fragments from these seven particular days edited into a swirl of unpretentious images that will help you grasp the subtlety of textures – both aural and visual.
