JAN JELINEK

New from Jan Jelinek - a 36-minute language and sound collage devoted to the dark forces of phishing. Strange but f*cking great!

"Social Engineering" brings together thirteen text fragments from so-called phishing emails. Using speech synthesis, they are spoken, sung, and/or transformed into abstract textures. The result is a 36-minute language and sound collage devoted to the dark forces of phishing.

Jan Jelinek

The Raw And The Cooked

    Faitiche release an album version of the radio piece "Vom Rohen und Gekochten (The Raw and The Cooked)" originally composed and produced by Jan Jelinek for the state broadcaster SWR2.

    Five sound collages that deal with the consistency of material and its mutability: solid, raw, boiling, powdery, liquid, broken and folded. A contemporary noise / ambient album with Jan's gently organic touch.

    If you want taking back to the golden days of Oklahoma Cafe circa 2002, with Pelican Neck Records next door then this'll do the trick perfectly. You can picture Neil Robbins' awe-inspiring artwork dazzling the eyes, soothing sounds drifting in along with scents of a strong mocha and a pre-smoking ban spliff on a Saturday afternoon... Bliss, and a snapshot of the Northern Quarter that's fast been lost amongst the trendy bars and shiny eateries....

    Asuna & Jan Jelinek

    Signals Bulletin

      Faitiche releases a new collaboration between the Japanese sound artist ASUNA and Jan Jelinek: the album Signals Bulletin brings together joint improvisations and compositions made over a period of three years in Berlin, Kyoto and Kanazawa. ASUNA's meandering organ drones merge with Jelinek's pulsating synthesizer and field recording loops to create dense superclusters that span broad harmonic arcs.

      Loop-Finding-Jazz-Records

        Craftily utilising the catalogue number FAITBACK01, Faitiche present a long-lost vinyl album, Jan Jelinek's "Loop-Finding-Jazz-Records", originally released in 2001 on ~scape. Now the album is available again on vinyl, as a double LP with two bonus tracks. Don't be misled by the title, though for there isn't a finger-snapping rhythm c bebop lead anywhere on the album. Instead, Jelinek chooses to explore the visual effect moiré - two shifting patterns creating an implied third dimension - in the audio realm. The title acts as explanation for the studio technique that provided the basis for this album, snippets of other people's arrangements deconstructed through a sampler into loops and then splashed onto an audio canvas. Evolving out of Jelinek's dislike for (and inability to play) keyboards, the LP finds the producer abstracting his sources beyond recognition, looping his millisecond samples into flickering patterns of sonic moiré laid atop an immersive dub techno framework. Jelinek might as well have sampled a horn player's hissing intake of breath - it would have been 'jazz' enough for his purposes. It's a perfect inversion of conventional music, a sonic negative. Everything that would typically be foreground is moved back or pushed off the screen altogether, and the flecks of sonic debris that would normally be covered by other sounds are left to carry the melody and rhythm. Listen carefully and you'll hear textures slowly unfolding and mutating into swell of aquatic ambience. 

        STAFF COMMENTS

        Patrick says: This lost classic from Jan Jelinek sees microscopic samples of surface noise and vinyl hiss distilled into an immersive dub techno vessel awash with Biospheric flavours.
