Photopia

Jan C. Schlegel 

 Born in 1965 in Germany. He discovered his passion for photography at the age of 14 during a photography course at school. Schlegel soon began to solidify his preference for black-and-white portraits. With them, he not only creates artistic photographs, but also documents and preserves unique works of art - the people themselves.  None of the people photographed wears special make-up or was specially dressed before the picture was taken. Nothing was staged, nothing is faked. The only stylistic device he uses for each of his photographs is a simple grey background. This draws attention to the people, not to their circumstances. The basic message is the inner and outer beauty of the people depicted. Schlegel emphasises their uniqueness, their value and their irretrievability. With his award-winning art, he champions the specialness and individuality of cultures.

Hayley Gene Penner

Im Hayley. Im from flat, cold, wonderful, Winnipeg and I live in LA. Ive been doing some amount of this music stuff since I was a very tiny person. 

For the first time in a very long time, I am in a healthy relationship, and its been interesting to navigate my relationship to releasing music in the process. I dont yet feel compelled to write about being in healthy love. My instinct is to continue diving into my pit of wounds, just sloshing around in the sludge that is my dating history rather than embracing where I am now. 

Ive spent so much of my life being attracted to men who make me feel like garbage. Fetishizing struggle is my investigation into why that pain means so much to me, why I keep circling back to it, dipping my toe into it, dancing around in it.

Enjoy and take a picture of yourself crying. You know you want to.

Heno.

I'm starting 2022 off on the right foot by premiering my new song "As Of Recent" here on Sound. This record (that I wrote & produced) is a feel good summation of what life has been over the last few months. Before my introduction and entry into Web3, my life was completely different. 

This music journey has put me through all the trials and tribulations I can think of. Ive been very nomadic in nature the last few years which that has put me through a lot of uncomfortable situations. From being homeless & couch surfing, working multiple jobs to save up & stay afloat, mental health battles, deaths of close family/friends, harassment by law enforcement, & thats just the tip of the iceberg. There have been many times I could have given up but the presence of a higher power & sheer resiliency have kept me on the path Im on; even in the eye of the storm. They dont often see the sacrifices needed to be made in order to succeed beyond what one can fathom but finding comfort in the uncomfortable has allowed me to really transcend in a way & embrace it all head on; in psychology, they tend to refer to this as post-traumatic growth. 

I feel like dealing with adversity not only makes us stronger when dealing with negative things but can also help us appreciate the positive ones; even increasing our overall satisfaction with life. Its allowed me to be more empathetic to others, build self efficacy, & also reassess stress as more of a challenge to problem solve rather than be discouraged. Web3 has opened up a whole new world for so many, and I'm blessed to be in a space where my craft, passion, & livelihood has been appreciated/valued in a way that has inspired me in a different way. 

As of recent, the air feels fresher. Food has been tasting better. My skin has been glowing. The hard work has been paying off. The gratitude is real as fuck. The intention is sincere. The vision is clear. And the future is very bright. 

I've been finding a deeper appreciation for life as of recent, hence the title...

Being There

This song means so much to us we want you to have it for free. It"s inviting and lush and metallic and purple. Like Androids eating cotton candy, like taking a warm bath on a space ship. The computer winks back. When we had to meet on zoom to make this music something just clicked. True collaboration, no thought, no fear, too bad music isn"t always this free. Our only request, is when u listen for the first time, close your eyes. We love you.

Boys Noize

My name is Alex aka Boys Noize, DJ & producer from Berlin, Germany. I started to DJ in clubs when I was 16. As a teenager I was working in a house and techno record store, so when I started to make my own music I decided to create my own label to be 100% independent. The music was released through limited presses of vinyl - it was music for DJs only. You were only able to find the music in a select network of house & techno record stores around the world. 

After the first few releases, well known DJs started to play my tracks in their sets, and I suddenly was getting booked both as DJ and to remix the likes of Depeche Mode and Daft Punk (!!). Out of the 100 remixes Ive done there were indeed some hits, and these propelled me to big stages like Coachella and Glastonbury and studio sessions with A$AP Rocky, Bon Iver, Frank Ocean and Lady Gaga.It still feels surreal to think about where it all started.

This brings me to my release today. Cwejman is a classic Boys Noize banger - unreleased until now - and its a big one in my current DJ sets. The name "Cwejman" comes from one of my modules in my modular system that I"ve used to create the main sound of this track. 

Bringing limited editions to the digital age gives me the same vibes I had in my early days when I spent all my money on limited vinyl presses. Every DJ knows the feeling of dropping something rare in their sets, something that few others have. Offering DJs that feeling again while supporting artists is the magic of Sound.xyz

<< this song is best heard turned up to 11 >>

My path in music has been one of gradual progressions - from classical piano lessons at 3 years old, to singing and playing in school talent shows, to writing, recording, cutting my teeth with 4 hour bar gigs and local venue shows, to touring, to producing, and learning a lot along the way. When the pandemic started, my journey in production hit a stride and I dove deeper than ever. In the last 6 months, the latest challenge to myself was to write and produce songs from conception to completion solely on my own. To be able to if I wanted. I love collaboration and need it as a creative, but self-sufficiency and personal growth has been crucial to my sustainability as an independent artist.

Enter Good Day To You. It started with a beat I made on one my favorite keyboards, the OP-1 by Teenage Engineering. Im inspired by sounds and mood, and that beat set the tone for the rest of the track. This is also my first released song playing live bass.

You know when words dont do it justice? That applies to people too. And sometimes no matter what you say, even if warranted, your value and worth may not be seen by someone in the way it should. In that case, silence is sometimes the most respectful action towards yourself and the most appropriate for someone who doesnt deserve any more of your time.
