    “Secret Thirteen Mix 007” is a precise musical compilation which includes lasting works from the early 70?s academic sound explorers and present innovators.

    The author of the mix is a Polish performer of drone, abstract and experimental music Cezary Gapik (also known as CEZAR). Affected of music creation in 1980 while being an animator of local punk rock bands, he studied the evolution of computer made music and right now he has released more than 30 individual works. Thus he assuredly stands among the best Eastern European academic musicians. Cezary also participates in such bands as QG/GQ and Sub Spa where he expands his productivity and creativeness.

    “Secret Thirteen Mix 007” is a thrilling musical selection which consists of 13 surprising creations and mirrors the main principles of Cezary creation. The basis of the mix stands on the constantly floating static atmospheres whose intensity of curves is balanced between minimalism, drone and noise styles. The whole background is full of astonishing experimental textures, distorted effects and variable rustles which are blended into the upper layers. From time to time suddenly appearing viscous strokes regenerate into the full rhythmical structures thus vitalizing the wholeness. This is a mature selection because of the rich palette of chosen music without worrying about style mixing errors and nowadays trends.

    “Secret Thirteen Mix 007” is like a Baroness Elsa von Freytag-Loringhoven’s drawing “Dada Portrait of Berenice Abbott” which evokes chimeras from the subconsciousness and a perishing feeling that something turbulent will happen.

    Important: The brand new limited Cezary Gapik’s album “The Sum Of Disappearing Sounds” (CD/Download) is coming on Karlrecords on March, 2012.

    Cezary Gapik – The Sum Of Disappearing Sounds (Limited Edition CD)

    Multi-fold out digipak in a limited edition of 222 hand-numbered copies…

    Born 1963 in Czestochowa / Poland, Cezary Gapik’s formative musical experiences after the punk revolt were the more experimental outings of Public Image Ltd. and industrial pioneers as Throbbing Gristle and Cabaret Voltaire. The popularisation of the computer as a creative tool in the mid-nineties gave birth to Gapik’s present extensive style: the isolationist projects of Mick Harris (Scorn, Lull) are as traceable as are 20th century contemporary avant-garde composers (Stockhausen, Xenakis, Ferrari) and masters of minimal music (Phill Niblock, Eliane Radigue).

    For his intense synthesis of multi-layered, heavy industrial drones, catharthic noise, haunting murmurs and field recordings of unrecognisable origins the uncompromising sound artist coined the term “ambient depressionism”. Using prepared instruments, various objects or computer-processed synthetic sounds, Gapik creates dense sonic paintings, rich in colour and radical in atmosphere. Having self-released numerous CDRs in his ongoing series of the “sound sketchbook”, “The Sum Of Disappearing Sounds” is one of the key artistic works of this contemporary master in the dark ambient / industrial / drone scene of today.

  • Riddim & Bruise….. by 3by3 & Cezary Gapik / CEZAR

    Rated Feb 18 1 review music wordpress.com

    Our good friends over at Combat Recordings gave me the opportunity to do a mix for their regular Riddim & Bruise show on Sub FM.
    Having done a lot of mixes over the years predominantly featuring Cloaks and other 3by3 artists, I decided to do something a little different this time around. The result is a quick selection of some of the artists and labels that inspire me to make and release music. It’s all pretty harsh and I think, showcases my influences well. If any of these artists or labels are new to you, get to know and get supporting.

    Tracklist for my mix as follows:

    01 – RE: – Orientalism as a Humanism – Constellation
    02 – Greymachine – We are All Fucking Liars (Version) – Hydra Head
    03 – Cezary Gapik – #0473 (Tremor) – White Box
    04 – Chasing Voices – Acidbathory – Preserved Instincts
    05 – The Haxan Cloak – The Growing – Aurora Borealis
    06 – Kangding Ray – Fall (Ben Frost Demolition) – Raster Noton
    07 – Emptyset – Tangent – Subtext
    08 – Mika Vainio – Vandals – Raster Noton
    09 – NHK – Mogra – Important
    10 – Mr Oizo – 1$44 – F Communications

  • "The Sum Of Disappearing Sounds" review by Bad Alchemy...

    Rated Jan 22 1 review music wordpress.com

    ”CEZARY GAPIK ist im Vergleich zu seinem Labelkollegen afarOne ein alter Hase. Der 1963 in Czestochowa geborene Do-It-Yourselfer in Sachen Soundart fand nach einer Postpunksozialisation seine eigene Richtung, als er die Klangwelten von Mick Harris und Dan Burke mit denen von Feldman, La Monte Young, Radigue oder Niblock verschmolz. Nach vier Dutzend Ausgaben seiner ‘Sound Sketchbooks’ im Selbstverlag zieht er mit ‘The Sum Of Disappearing Sounds’ (KR 008) eine Zwischenbilanz seines ‘ambient depressionism’. Zur Klangerzeugung dienen Laptop, Soundprozessoren, E-Gitarre und Klavier, jeweils präpariert, Vibratoren, Geigenbogen, Glas, Papier und Metal. So entstanden vier dröhnminima­listisch summende Langwellenmantras, die dabei in sich vibrieren, zirpen und beben. Vier Oms, die die Kunst des tiefen und langen Atems üben. Der Sound von ‘Uncertainty’ schwingt wie eine Glasharmonika im Ohr. Nada Brahma, alles beginnt mit einer Urschwingung. ‘The Gradual Loss Of Elasticity’ surrt wie ein Dynamo und erstarrt dabei zu einer stehenden Welle. Die Basis von Allem, der Zwang hinter Allem. Die Dynamik hier wird rauer und stürmischer, industrialer, wenn man so will. Aber beruhigt sich wieder. ‘Idiomat’ scheint in seiner brummigen Motorik dem Stand der Din­ge zu entsprechen, mit leichten Schwankungen und Fieberschüben ein undramatisch idiotisches Immersoweiter. Bassig knurrend versenkt ‘Still, No Beginning, and ….. Without End’ einen zuletzt in eine Art Beckettsche endlose Anfangslosigkeit, ein unaufhörliches Aufhören. Heißt das: Nur wenn es still würde, könnten wir endlich etwas hören? Ich bin etwas verwirrt, ich bin wohl zu bedröhnt.” – Bad Alchemy Magazin [BA 72 rbd]
