Album-Stream: InFiné – Ambient

Chillig für den Sonntag. InFiné mit einer ganz wunderbaren Ambient Compilation. Musik zum Knuddeln.

“We Are Emotional People.”

Ambient music lies at the very core of InFiné. We’re devotees of the great Brian Eno, raised on the 4AD label, and nurtured on KLF’s pioneering Chill Out and Aphex Twin’s Selected Ambient Works on Warp. Ever-curious listeners, we soaked up the German vibrations of early Ash Ra Tempel before diving into the abyssal basslines of Moritz Von Oswald or the stark minimalism of Pole.

Later, we encountered other wizards around the globe: Murcof in Mexico, Loscil in Canada, Kaito in Japan, Biosphere in Scandinavia, and more recently Kmru in Kenya. This music forms a central thread in our catalog, sitting alongside more rhythm-driven electronic styles, innovative classical hybrids, and increasingly even pop. In Ambient, the role of sound is more vital than in any other genre! Each note needs ample space to resonate, and every piece immerses you in the pure essence of its sound. These tracks stretch time by using minimal resources to create a profound experience. Here, silence is part of the composition, offering a depth and richness unlike anything else.

Ask the Girls in Cairo

Der Regisseur JP Micallef trifft in Kairo auf junge Frauen, die gegen die dortigen Konventionen hinweg skaten, driften oder Motorrad fahren.

Capturing the sprawling landscape of Cairo through a subset of its youth, director JP Micallef connects with a group of young female skateboarders, drifters and motorbike riders in the Egyptian capital for short film Ask the Girls in Cairo. Finding freedom coasting through the city, yet confronted by the strict gender standards of a traditional, religious society, the film lenses these young women outside the risks that link their experiences – each coming against derogatory remarks and abuse on the city’s streets, and pressure and punishment from family for pursuing their passions.

Meeting Cairo-based Moroccan skateboarder Zineb Koutten via her photography, Micallef reached out to friends and other girls connected by the Cairo scene, gathering an entirely Egyptian cast and crew to work across the project – and music by Egyptian artist Felukah. Shooting on location over two days and witnessing first hand the abuse the girls receive, Ask the Girls in Cairo celebrates the optimism and strength of the young women refusing to bow to expectations, on a visual ride through the city they have made their playground.

Die größte Ziegelstein-Sammlung der Welt

Früher habe ich mal Briefmarken gesammelt, die noch irgendwo hier rumliegen müssten. Später waren es Schallplatten, die es irgendwie immer noch sind, auch wenn nicht mehr so ekstatisch, wie das mal der Fall war. Heute sammle ich irgendwie Fahrräder, wobei ich das eigentlich nie wollte – hat sich so ergeben und wenn mehr Platz wäre, hätte ich ganz sicher noch einige mehr davon. Clem Reinkemeyer jedenfalls sammelt Ziegelsteine, wofür es auch mehr Platz als für Briefmarken bedarf. Er hat die größte Ziegelstein-Sammlung der Welt, sagt das Guiness Buch der Weltrekorde.
