Im Rahmen der 13. Edition der Veranstaltungsreihe Meuterland präsentierte Jürgen Hohmuth am 20. Dezember 2017 seinen neuen Bildband „Graustufen“ im JAZ in Rostock. The Kanadagans spielten, im Wechsel mit den Lesenden Gunnar Baganz, Jürgen Hohmuth, Ulrike Kretschmer und Robert Beckmann, drei Sets zu Live-Videofootage aus dem Privatarchiv von Huey Walker.

Am 20. Dezember 2017 stellt die Reihe Meuterland in Rostock das Buch „Graustufen“ von Jürgen Hohmuth vor. Die in der Bildung und Überwindung von klingender Gräue und tönenden Stufen nicht unberittene Musikgruppe The Kanadagans gestaltet die musikalische Seite dieses Abends. Die Band nähert sich dem Geist von Hohmuths Stadtansichten in assoziativer, klanglicher Weise.

„I Just Want It To Be A Sound“ is a vibrant recording of the concert of The Splendid Ghetto Pipers (today: The Kanadagans) on April 5th, 2013 at Ikuwo, Greifswald. The release is a vivid mixture of drugged-up shoegaze-contemplations, somnambulant meditations and minimal-fluctuating ambient-processings — always in search for the endless, perfect, burrowing, wandering sound.

This double-album shows The Splendid Ghetto Pipers, who are nowadays operating under their moniker The Kanadagans, doing some sprawling, puristic guitar-drones, waving through sublime psychedelic noisenoodlings, dreamy contemplations and frizzling freeform freakouts. Norman Records, UK says: „layers and layers of noise, static, hauntingly subtle melodies and tenderly quiet guitars“.

The new label-design gives our releases the framing sense of unity and cohesiveness we feel within all of these releases. The clear-structured design gives the plain space needed for the audio-visual offerings: the music and the photos, images and graphics. The catalogue-layout merges all records into an aesthetically unified framework

Huey Walker plays a fragmented, freeform Jingle-Jangle, based on a Sense of Slowness, Pacing and the Joy of Monotony. With Aspects of Minimalism, aleatoric Music and impromptu timbral Explorations, he developes a pulsating, static Reeling and winching Whirrings.
