After a hiatus of some years and two published books, Martin Hiller now returns to releasing music.

Kwaunder Keun Recordings is his new label that will release new and archival recordings of the past 25 years of his musical activities.

This special festive-related record includes three tracks entirely made with Martin Hillers composing concept called „Pample Music“.

The digital and physical releases contain a 20 page booklet with extended liner notes in german and english. First edition of the CD-release comes in handmade cardboard-sleeve and hand-stamped CDr in red color.

„Christmas songs were sort of also some thing for me. They were important during those final weeks of a year, when the olden times of the past month slowly drippled out of the year that was finally folding itself away.

You could only hear these winterly chart-­toppers once a year, but then they rotated relentlessly. In vast waves, as an endless jingle-jangle and an eternal tootle of just a few weeks, they swept everywhere – into all and everyones ears, glowing from the lights and moods of winter days, into every corner of dazzlingly glittering stores and supermarkets, through every sound system blaring over the rides at the christmas markets, into the ecstatic hum of everyday noises, into every daydream drifting through my childhoodish head, into simply every place reachable by the magic of sound.

With my principle of Pample Music, I developed a semi-automatic routine that scans, reads, and rearranges the components of an inserted sample according to a specific system. I called this process of parsing a sample joyfully just pampling, and the tracks collected on this album are results of these transformations.

Each piece is based on a short fragment of a popular christmas hit, entirely reformatted into three sprawling compositions whose sacred-slow rearrangements equalize all time. In doing so, they successfully venture into the core of this essence – the beautifully drifting omnipresent sound of a year gently exhaling itself.“
