Editorial issue n° 10
DEAR READER,
I'm writing to you from
the jungle of Polynesia,
the isle of Tuvalu. I’m here researching the sound- textural qualities of the Tuli bird and its influence on western post-WWII avant-garde. How and why
I ended up here involved
a wild night in Brussels,
a somewhat scruffy man and a dodgy contract. So... At this very moment, I’m sitting in a bar barely worth the name. The bartender only serves warm beer,
and I’m deeply wrapped-up in the significance of Tuli bird chant.

Andrew Pekler
The Berlin-based Andrew Pekler delves deeply into playful loop-based electronic exotica. His most recent record is an homage to the legendary anthropologist Claude Lévi-Strauss and his book ‘Tristes Tropiques’. The record is a sonic journey, composed out of fragments of music made by imaginary tribes. It displays a deeply nostalgic longing of a researcher who is confronted by the big questions about himself and his culture, as he becomes aware that the great enlightened stories are just one of the many truths. An interview without questions on identity, a book, internal logics and wordplays.
