Over the last 12 months, Hinterlandt engaged in a number of remixing activities. The latest piece was done for Sydney math-rock kings Serious Beak. You can download the whole album for free. Hinterlandt also recently reconstructed a Goethe poem recorded by Emil Klotzsch, turned one of Telafonica‘s songs into a lullaby, injected additional noise into one of Simo Soo‘s electro-rap tracks, and treated underwater field recordings by US sound artist John Kannenberg.

Furthermore, the Hinterlandt track “Motion” from the 2011 album Migration Motion Movement was re-interpreted by Australian producers Seaworthy, Lawrence English, Telafonica, Broken Chip, Puzahki, AFXJIM, Godswounds, and Simo Soo. The results were released as a full album called Through the Motions on Feral Media. Godswounds even made a fancy video clip for their track.

While all of this was good fun, Hinterlandt is now back into writing, recording and producing new original material.

AFXJIM
Broken Chip
Godswounds
Lawrence English
Puzahki
Seaworthy
Simo Soo
Telafonica

The album is a collection of sounds evolving around the Hinterlandt track “Motion”. Each artist created a completely new piece based on a handful of tiny sound snippets from the original track. The resulting inividual tracks are as diverse as the artists themselves. This Hinterlandt-curated compilation is now avalibale from the Feral Media label, as a FREE DOWNLOAD.

A couple of things to round off a busy year:

Mon 14/11/2011: Hinterlandt has a full hour of music, talk and live set on 2SER Radio’s Extended Play.
Sat 18/11/2011: Guest trumpet gig in Mark Moldre‘s band at Notes, supporting Jamie Hutchings.
Wed 30/11/2011: Hinterlandt with The Scrapes and An Infinity Room at FBI Social.
Thu 01/12/2011: Radio interview about Goethe-Institut remix project with SBS Radio.
Sun 04/12/2011: Hinterlandt joins the Laughing Outlaw XMas Bash at Petersham Bowling Club.

Shortly after the release of the new album, Hinterlandt is part of an international remix project organised by Goethe-Insitut. The idea is that a recording of the Goethe poem “King of Thule” (courtesy of German artist Emil Klotzsch) travels around the world to be remixed by producers in nine different countries, on four continents. Hinterlandt represents Australia, offering a somewhat dubby reconstruction that draws inspiration mainly from the proximity of the Pacific Ocean.

The project page is HERE, the Soundcloud page is HERE.

Hinterlandt is excited to announce the release of the full-length album “Migration Motion Movement” in September 2011.

These brand new studio recordings mirror the current live set, with compositions inviting the listener to take a ride through an instrumental landscape, travelling past organic and electronic sounds, rhythmic complexity, beautiful harmonies, chunks of noise, fragile ambiences, and patches of silence.

The album will is out on Tenzenmen and Bird’s Robe Records. It’s available as a CD (A$9.00) and/or download (A$5.00) via Bandcamp. If you write reviews, have a radio show, book gigs, etc. we’d love to hear from you.

Hinterlandt is playing a home concert at People’s Republic in Sydney on 23 July. Now this is not your ordinary venue. It’s a private house packed with artworks, books, films, records, a pool in the back and one of these see-through comfy chairs hanging from the ceiling. Apart from Hinterlandt, there will be a sound installation by Simon Holmes, who used to front legendary indie pop band The Hummingbirds.

Hinterlandt is jumping on a plane to play in Thailand for the first time. On 24/06/2011, Hinterlandt will rock Nospace Art Gallery in Bangkok as part of an event called Make Noise Not War, alongside Seoul-based US experimentalist Awkward Binoculars, and BKK dudes Kijjaz, Jin Matutamtada, Death Trip, as well as Phil_WC & Fog.
