Rest / Relief

A 2 track experimental ep (42m 35s) — released June 2nd 2014 on Jehu & Chinaman

Formerly known as S ND Y P RL RS, RVNES is the experimental music project by Berlin based artist Malte Cornelius Jantzen. Blending drone ambience with noise soundscapes by mixing field recordings and organic sounds with instruments and tape loops – all processed to the point of abstraction – RVNES creates lengthy tape collages that drift and push and hover.

Sometimes RVNES is quiet, calming and meditative; sometimes it is dark, mysterious and rumbling. After a few exquisite, strictly limited releases on imprints such as Umor Rex, Colpa Press, New Wedding Avant-Garde and An Out Recordings, a new tape – the first as RVNES – is finally due via Jehu & Chinaman.

Rest/Relief was mastered by Nicholas Szczepanik and features artwork by Malte Cornelius Jantzen. The tape release is limited to only 30 pro-dubbed, pro-printed copies for the world.

It’s overwhelming, it’s lonely, it’s soul-crushing... [REX is] almost certainly my favourite début album of the year - Foxy Digitalis

Cinematic songs that reveal new depths with each listen... as affecting as watching a powerful film. - Bad Sounds Magazine
