ARTIST/LABEL NOTES:

chicago, in the middle of deepest winter. snow covered. at this time of year, the title track of this e.p. was created as a collaboration between slow children (whom we welcome as a new artist) and area (most recently in 2009 on “objet trouvé” [tonatom.103]). “zima” means winter and this is reflected in the meandering, powerful, deep, ambient opener. five alternative interpretations of this work take up different aspects in a new way, continue it with a new focus and complete this e.p. this is far from being a ” one original title and remixes” release, but rather presents six very different variations of a theme combined, which allows an attentive listening as one piece. in addition to alternative interpretations of slow children and area as the originators of the original, we meet our long-time companion drmlgcc/dreamlogic again (most recent release: “treader” [tonatom.128] in 2013) as the creator of the final version. should such a work be released in the middle of summer and in times of a climate crisis? well, absolutely! when else. welcome slow children and welcome back area and drmlgcc.
