OUT TODAY! Merzbow & Vanity Productions “The New Peasantry” Masami Akita’s relentless output as Merzbow has made him a broad touchstone for experimental musicians and artists treating sound as material with a capital ‘M’. Though the persistence of the harsh noise frame that surrounds him is unquestionably deserved, there’s a percussive through line from his earliest recordings that frames him just as well. Vanity Productions and his existentialist touch and blurry sensibility have become a crucial part of the contemporary Nordic electronic and experimental music scenes in the past decade. Stadsgaard paints sonic canvases of modern day melancholia oscillating between electronic experimentation, noise exploration and elevated melodic elaboration, directing tender forces with an assertive and impulsive streak. “The New Peasantry” - the unification of the two projects, goes some way towards foregrounding this. The album is built around piano manipulation, both physical, in the sense of a prepared piano, and digital, through digital signal processing. The piano runs a gauntlet from Conlon Nancarrow to the Clicks and Cuts series. The cumulative effect however, points toward a dystopian avant-garde sensibility, not noise per se. The title leads us here by way of social commentary, evoking the harrowing techno-feudal reality that our IT department overlords have conjured. The gulf between the piano’s almost machinic interventions and the remote emotional horizon of the accompaniment mirrors the divide the title suggests, placing The New Peasantry in the orbit of noise’s longstanding fascination with atrocity while insisting that its horrors belong not to history but the present Digital and art edition

Paris 5 rue de Turbigo, 75001 Paris WASTED Paris Store Tuesday, 23.06.26 – 7pm Live performance by @stadsgaard (@poshisolationworld co-founder) and first part from @terra86music to set the tone for WASTED Paris SS27 showroom during the Paris Fashion Week __ VANITY PRODUCTIONS Vanity Productions is the solo alias of Christian Stadsgaard, an enduring voice in the Nordic experimental underground. Co-founder of @poshisolationworld and @penlight_publications , operating under the banner of “broken hearts & broken electronics,” Stadsgaard fuses noise, drone, and electronic experimentation across a prolific body of work, including collaborations with Merzbow, Loke Rahbek (as Damien Dubrovnik), and Varg2™ and Iron Sight (as The Empire Line). His forthcoming album The Vanity Project is out on @northernelectronics __ TRISTIS TERRA Electronic project from the founders of Terra86. A live hardware performance drifting between noise, IDM and experimental techno. Drawing equally from hyperpop, ambient electronics and raw noise, Tristis Terra constructs immersive soundscapes where atmospheric melodies collide with humid rhythms and fractured textures. __ @wastedparis X @stadsgaard at WASTED Paris Store by @masterdarkdog X @cab_laboratory dir. art. @marc.donnadieu
