More Info

In 2003, Sascha Stadlmeier released music under the name EMERGE for the first time: a 7-inch vinyl on Drone Records entitled “relativity/profundity”. Now, 20 years later, EMERGE celebrates his anniversary by re-releasing the two sides of that 7-inch (as tracks B01 and C01 of this triple CD), alongside a collection of unreleased and obscure tracks (CD A). But the main part of this release is made up of tracks composed by colleagues, collaborators, and friends of EMERGE from the global experimental underground music network as birthday gifts for his artistic anniversary. All the tracks utilise recycled, reworked sounds from the original Drone Records single. The response to EMERGE's call for contributions to this project was so enthusiastic that CD B and CD C of this box set were not enough to hold all of the submissions. Therefore, the release of this triple CD is paralleled by the download release “20+” (emerge.bandcamp.com/album/20-2) which contains 21 additional tracks.

To survive, we need to find better ways of living together than those organised as markets. The experimental sound underground points the way: trading and sharing as well as collaboration and collectivity are the rule. As a listener, Sascha Stadlmeier was shaped by this underground, a scene which empowered him to create his own sound. In 2003, his own music emerged from this experience, with the first release under the name EMERGE: the 7" relativity/profundity on Drone Records. In the 20 years that followed he has released his own music and that of hundreds of others, toured, organised concerts and festivals, thus bringing people across the globe together through sound. The artists on this album are all connections he made along the way. As he donated his sounds for this collective work, they all created new music on the basis of his debut 7". EMERGE returns their favour by giving us unreleased and rare sounds of his own. 54 happy new ears on the way to a sonic utopia of sharing.
