Kalich - Technofeudalismus is out now!
Available in digital and as a cassette tape.
Kalich is an experimental duo (Andreas Gajdošík and Medard Zeman) with a fascination for raw techno and the Hussite movement. They work with sound as both relic and instrument of power. Rhythm as a march, the loop as a siege, noise as a landscape after battle.
Their album Technofeudalismus is noise and industrial techno echoing the Hussite Revolution. Hard-to-decipher screams of fragments of medieval chants intertwine with the razor-sharp sound of synthesizers and a pounding kick drum that has broken loose from its chains.
The album, as well as all of Kalich’s live performances, is based on live improvisation. Sometimes drawing on motifs from old chants (for example the included cover of legendary 15th century Hussite chorale “Ktož jsú boží bojovníci/Ye Who Are Warriors of God”), sometimes from pop songs or folk songs. Sometimes from none of these.
The album’s central thesis is that while the medieval censorship that burned books may be over, its modern counterpart—tightening the screws on what was once a free internet and, ultimately, on all of our lives—is running at full speed. Today’s social media CEOs and medieval power-holders… there isn’t much difference between them.
