Description

"I imagine that one of the first things I heard in the world was the explosion of a Russian ammunitions factory on the outskirts of my hometown. It blew up the night I was born a new GDR-citizen. I´m not sure I heard a noise when the Wall came down, but it still echoes in my body. The echo contains many frequencies. Some of them sound like Gabber playing in my childhood room over the speakers my grandfather once stole from a Leipzig radio station. Some of them sound like me and my friends running through the streets. They sound like my mother laughing and consoling women in the women´s shelter where she worked in 1992. They sound like birds: my father swears after the Reunification the great crested grebes on the town lakes lost all fear of humans. Some of them sound like these recordings."

Gajek produces electrifyingly futuristic clubmusic true to the almost five decades old motto of Berlins Zodiak Free Arts Lab: „Total freie Musik“ – totally free music.

In his 21st century turn on Kraut Gajek revisits the abstract clarity and improvisational audacity of 1970s electronics from a perspective firmly rooted in the digital now.

Beyond the echoes of past utopias Gajek discovers present signs for possible tomorrows.

Additional to his releases on Monkeytown and Infinite Greyscale Matti Gajek is a member of the newly formed New Composers Collective alongside colleagues Mouse on Mars and Michael Rauter and writes scores for movies, video instalation and performance.
