ALLIGATOR GOZAIMASU *** The XXL group

ALLIGATOR GOZAIMASU is made of many heads, voices and noises. The sound collective, with about 60 members spread all over the world, is back on the map with their upcoming release: Solange bunte Balken durchlaufen (engl.: As Long As Render Bars Go Colourful). The album title refers to the process of rendering in audio or video editing programmes.
The centerpiece of the XXL band is the experimental pop group beißpony (ChicksOnSpeed Records). In the midst of the lockdown beißpony's (ChicksOnSpeed Records) percussionist and songwriter Stephanie Müller reactivated a music collaboration that had already started in 2014. This spring, step by step, more artists and sound lovers joined in.

During the process of sharing sonic fragments, voices and noises online, the collective decided to try an album in episodes: an album that is open for all the different circumstances and needs of such a large band, an album that celebrates mood swings and listens closely to the different tempi in these days.

The artists

... come from Berlin, Bremerhaven, Horb am Neckar, Munich, Salzburg, Vienna and Zurich, from Phoenix (Arizona, USA), Dakar (Senegal), Istanbul (Turkey), Ivano Frankivsk (Ukraine), Oxford
(UK), Banjul (Gambia), Rome (Italy), Sevilla (Spain), Turku (Finnland) and Tokyo (Japan).

The album * Solange Bunte Balken Durchlaufen * As Long As Render Bars Go Colourful

Something vague is raising its voice inbetween the lines. The first episode consists of 17 songs. They swing along with all the ups and downs of the past weeks and months. The episode celebrates the beauty of delay. Digital interferences and latencies are not edited. Instead they become a mutual part of the collaborative compositions.
Miboujin's „distance work mix“ captures the melancholy of way too tight appartment tristezza. The trio, based in Sapporo (Japan), drops out of their own collaboration with a radical cut in the midst of wild clubbing.
Inga Ramona Hansen aka INGA , who recently published her debut vinyl on the legendary underground label Trikont, is in search for a language far away from restrictions. Together with the performance and sound art trio
The Hercules And Leo Case she composed a chansonesque declaration of love for the strange cosiness of weak spots.
German beat poet Sarah Ines tries to enter the dreamy suburbian dystopia of her six year old bandmate Rauna Pale. Their composition „wunderkind wonderchild“ sounds like a tribute to a Patti Smith who had the chance to
meet Tabea Blumenschein (DIE TÖDLICHE DORIS).
Şevket Akıncı und Nihal Saruhanli from Istanbul open the inner cinema. Their instrumental „Earthlings“ digs into the rough poetry of films such as „Vagabond“ (director: Agnés Varda) or „Abluka“ (director: Emin Alper).
„They are all drawing penguins these days“ starts with Karl Hagen's accordion. In a beautiful way it sounds like a duracell bunny on low batteries. However, the composition has nor fear of any breaks. It takes a rest at camp fire inflamed by light bulbs, just to end up in Lina Zylla's catchy mantra – be strong.

The release

Starting in July 2020 sound lovers are heartily invited to enter ALLIGATOR GOZAIMASU's sonic cosmos and to join the journey till December 2020. Each month a new release will be shared via bandcamp. All contributions will be donated. This time to Sea Watch e.V..
