Hello Friends,

It’s no surprise that cassettes take up space but if we want to bring new ones into this world we need to make some space!

Use the code "friday" to get 50% off on your orders tomorrow.

Monika’s „Slowmotion” is featured on the latest album roundup from Foxy Digitalis. Well deserved of course!

Album is available on streaming and cassettes.

I can’t believe tomorrow is August. This summer has flown by, and though I’m certainly ready for the blazing Tulsa heat to subside, I’m also feeling a bit bummed. This was the fir…

Happy release day to our newest albums!

~OA10~ Monika Pich - Slowmotion
Monika Pich deftly marries the deep, rumbly synth sounds with a nostalgic, almost romantic use of instruments offering nothing less than a masterpiece of mood.

~OA11~ Wysocki / Jaśniewski - Six Compositions for Whistling
You might know them from their solo projects - Fischerle (.fischerle) and Genetics & Windsurfing - but as an energized duo they play with your perception presenting playful track names like “Spectral Study of Slurping” on the outside and, inside, a collage of sound in the vein of musique concrète updated for the modern world.

We take pride in showcasing the seemingly endless horizon of leftfield music within our Batches and this one is a perfect example. From Monika's smooth slow-tempo synth compositions to Wysocki / Jaśniewski's speedrun of the sonic gamut, these two albums have it all.

Cassettes are now shipping. 9 promo batches left. Streaming in one month.

We appreciate your attention. If you think a friend might be interested, a share would be awesome.

(Ladies and gentlemen, this is batch number five).

Love,

OA11 / Wysocki / Jaśniewski ~ Six Compositions for Whistling

From the outset, Mateusz Wysocki (also known by his artistic alias “Fischerle”) and Daniel Jaśniewski (“Genetics and Windsurfing”) play with your perception, presenting playful track titles on the surface, while, underneath, offering a collage of sound in the vein of musique concrète, updated for the modern world. They combine extreme, precise digital editing techniques with analogue rawness and unpredictability, mixing it all into a hefty pot to serve up a tasty, idiosyncratic soup of sound—if you will. Good to the last drop.

It begins haunted, pitch-black, writhing with a menacing gravity as hellish sirens rise and fall into the murk before morphing into a high-pitched rustling. Like an old-school point-and-click video game, you move through rooms and the atmosphere shifts—slightly but intensely—as a rumbly, maybe-drum devours the sonic space, trapping your attention. Another shift, and you drift, stop-and-go, a hundred sounds a minute, of unknown origin and form, leaping at you and then disappearing.

“Six Compositions for Whistling” is a discordant entity playing by its own rules. Slurping is encouraged.

Releases June 27, 2025 on limited cassette and digital via Bandcamp.
Single "Spectral Study of Slurping" streaming now. Full album streaming in a month.

~ABOUT THE ARTISTS~
Mateusz Wysocki is a musician who has been breaking genre boundaries for many years, constructing his own multi-layered sound mass from them. Fischerle's productions are detailed, flexible constructions, shimmering with elements submerged in massive, spatial basses. He published nearly 50 albums, freely exploring areas such as electroacoustic composition, prepared field recordings, radio plays dedicated to ethnic minorities, dub techno, experimental hip-hop, and footwork.

Daniel Jaśniewski (Genetics and Windsurfing) operates at the intersection of experimental music, aleatoricism, sound art, glitch, and concrete music. He has released three cassettes (Orange Milk Records), a generative album released on an SD card (Audile Snow), a floppy disk (Pionierska Records), and a digital EP (IW).

OA10 / Monika Pich ~ Slowmotion

An immersive vessel for a different kind of sensation—one that surpasses the realistic elements contained within, slowing them down to a drift of molecular phenomena and developments. The energy’s resulting shifts alter our understanding of linear time, drawing us into a feeling, a moment in the now. It endures as waves of sound follow their natural course, rising and falling within an energetic but lowkey atmosphere.

The structure is eclectic, with movements flowing into one another until they don't—inviting the listener to ponder the sounds around the silence. These field-recording-rich soundscapes are punctuated by Robert Demidziuk’s saxophone playing, an artist in his own right, and distorted guitar samples from Darek Garczyk (from Che'eeh Gidi fame), as well as archival recordings of viola by Martina Bertoni and double bass by Mateusz Loska.

"Slowmotion" deftly marries deep, rumbly synths with a nostalgic, almost romantic use of instruments, offering nothing less than a masterpiece of mood. It presents a long view of eternity in the grain of sand, a landscape flattened by immense perspective, yet underscored by a deeply humanistic undercurrent of consciousness and cosmic vitality.

Releases June 27, 2025 on limited cassette and digital via Bandcamp.
Single "Slowmotion A (excerpt)" streaming now. Full album streaming in a month.

~ABOUT THE ARTIST~
A practitioner and theorist of art, author of field recordings, compositions, and soundtracks created for radio and film. Her interests include cognitive processes, stylistic-semantical interpretation, and the analysis of the quality of content, form, and reception of media messages, including multimedia translations. She is active in education — teaching art, organizing artistic events, and developing original workshop concepts. The creator of the program Space Oddity Recollection, produced for the Spanish radio station Tesla.fm and the initiator and co-creator of Radio UAP, which focuses on a wide range of culture and art, and is actively involved in its development.

Today we are launching the individual pre-orders for our Batch5 albums: “Slowmotion” by Monika Pich, and “Six Compositions for Whistling” by the duo Wysocki / Jaśniewski.

ICYMI these are artists from our local zone and are representing the breadth of the sounds happening in our cluster - from nigh-romantic instrumentation spruced on top of deep synth sounds to a digital/analogue musique concrète sound collage playing by its own rules.

From each of the albums we are also unveiling another snippet - “Slowmotion B (excerpt)” is a murky, moody view into the evolving sound of Monika Pich’s second piece, punctuated by a meandering saxophone from guest Robert Demidziuk; on “Folk Song” Wysocki / Jaśniewski pit the natural against the unnatural, as birdsong is overshadowed by the clatter of a sulfurous computer orchestra on its dying power.

Batch5 releases June 27th on cassette and digital.
Preorders available now.
Batch offer and sampler available now.

Pro-duplicated cassettes are shipping now.

Also, please join us in wishing Mateusz Wysocki a happy birthday! May his creative spirit grant us many unique works.

Love ya,
okla records

~OA10~ Monika Pich ~ Slowmotion
"Slowmotion" to immersyjne naczynie dla innego rodzaju odczuwania – wykraczającego poza realizm, spowolnionego do poziomu zjawisk molekularnych.
Energetyczne przesunięcia zmieniają nasze postrzeganie czasu linearnego, wciągając nas w odczucie — moment „tu i teraz”. Trwa to, gdy fale dźwięku podążają swoją naturalną ścieżką, unosząc się i opadając w energicznej, lecz subtelnej atmosferze.

~OA11~ Wysocki / Jaśniewski ~ Six Compositions for Whistling
Od samego początku Mateusz Wysocki (znany również pod pseudonimem „Fischerle”) i Daniel Jaśniewski („Genetics and Windsurfing”) bawią się Twoją percepcją — prezentując figlarne tytuły utworów, jak „Spectral Study of Slurping”, a wewnątrz oferując kolaż dźwięków w duchu musique concrète, zaktualizowanej na potrzeby współczesnego świata.
Zderzają ekstremalnie precyzyjną cyfrową edycję z analogową surowością i nieprzewidywalnością, mieszając to wszystko w jednym solidnym kotle, który serwuje smakowitą, ekscentryczną zupę dźwięków. Do ostatniej kropli.
