Deap Musik I En Tid

The Copenhagen duo DEAP will release their debut album on the platforms Anyines and Polychrome. Behind DEAP stand composers and artists Pernille Zidore Nygaard (Panxing) and Aske Zidore (Anyines, An Gella, Gooms). With the album Musik i en tid (Music for a While) the couple have created a container for a series of vocal observations, notes on art, sound and lived life over time. Musik i en tid is the offspring of a symbiotic relationship, written and recorded on the coasts and in forests, churches, living rooms and barns of Scandinavia. The textures and traditions of these spaces are audible in the sound and feel of Musik i en tid, where field recordings and snippets of everyday situations in a shared life are also present. Elements that are often considered as distractions for serious music production such as washing dishes or kids playing and screaming, have been embraced and sometimes used as foundational for compositional processes. The list of contributors is long, full of children, siblings, beloved friends, fellow artists and a Swedish choir that all have crossed paths with Pernille and Aske during the past two years, making the result more of a collective piece, where circumstances have formed the outcome, rather than it being pre-arranged and produced. The release is the first in a series of a collaborations between Anyines and Polychrome; a new platform and physical space in Copenhagen for exhibitions, concerts and conversations. Musik i en tid is released as a limited edition 12" LP of 100 copies, and as an extension of the vinyl release, visual artist Maria Zahle (DK) has been invited to mark the cover, making each of the printed copies unique artworks.
