"Writing of a place and time, from beyond that place and time, is irredeemable. It is something backwards that cannot be brought back. It is writing from a place that gives away its distance in every letter and word. It means nothing of the place and time described, only of the place from which writing takes place. So, of Paris and the twenty-seventh of March, two thousand and nine, this says nothing. Of this unnamed date in Berlin, from which I write to the past, it says everything."

La Réflexion Du Tir

Out now, a new Preslav Literary School tape inspired by Benjamin Laurent Aman's artwork and the amazing Zone by Mathias Énard. Available now (but selling fast) from Full of Nothing.

There's tension in the air and the birds are quiet. The day is dull, life is still. Haunting cassette hiss fills the room. Outside, the children are screaming in agony but muffled whispers are all that comes out. Was that your first lover's voice? Another flashback from unremembered youth? There's a fire crackling in the old castle and ghosts dance in the ballroom. And you pass by the church but there's no one there... Preslav Literary School is dedicated to tape collage and endless rearrangements of outsider noise and found sound. "La Réflexion Du Tir" was recorded by Adam Thomas in Berlin, "with thanks to alabaster tenements, sonic phosphorescence, supreme courts, branch creation, Cap-Vert Peninsula, reticulating splines, magic martyrs." Cassettes with full-colour J-cards and stickers. Edition of 75.

Let's play a game.

Thursday September 8th 2011 sees Preslav Literary School join a stellar line-up that includes Schneider TM and To Rococo Rot's Robert Lippok for Play, an event hosted by CTM (formerly Club Transmediale). It takes place at Monarch, Kreuzberg, Berlin from 21h, entry 7€.

CTM co-founded the network ICAS – International Cities of Advanced Sound. In total, 30 organisations and festivals on 5 continents joined forces to (co-)create projects and foster discourse, and thereby promote artistic development at the interface of music, art, technology and society. CTM's ICAS SUITE  takes place during the second Berlin Music Week (7. – 10. September)

Play will include Dirk Dresselhaus (Schneider TM), Preslav Literay School, Jan Zimmermann, Benjamin L. Aman, Robert Lippok (To Rococo Rot), Mario de Vega and Erik Minkkinen.

Past, present, future.

Taking its title from Albert Einstein’s theories of the fourth dimension, Wysing’s 2011 annual music event explores the legacy of psychedelia; from the emergence of the term, through 1960s counter culture movements to contemporary art and music.

Preslav Literary School will be playing alongside Alexander Tucker, Ashtray Navigations, Astral Social Club, Demdike Stare, Disinformation, Man from Uranus, Raagnagrok Allstars, Simon Scott (ex Slowdive), Marcus Scott (Hyperdub) and more.

Takes place outside Cambridge, UK for a very reasonable price including coach travel. Can't wait - check the Wysing site for details.
