Red on light blue tampon printed, pro dubbed c40 tape and 160g inkjet printed cardboard cover housed in a transparent snapbox.

Two amps and a fogged up window with a wide view. Different ideas of playing rubbed into the sunset and boiled up to growling guitar tectonics. Philipp and Philipp met in a rehearsal room directly above a Baptist church, car repair shops in the neighborhood, with two guitars and a small bunch of effect pedals. The resulting nine pieces show the communication of two minds through sound and the comic side of melancholy. Songs that shift between free-folk, drone and ambient. Melody and low end, feedback and delay. No preconceived arrangements, just improvising and exploring the unknown. Philipp Roth (of Red On and Miira) and Philipp Hager (of Zement and Schweben) have been active in musical outlands for years. »Offenbach« is their first album as a duo—after several tours and live shows together in different constellations. 

Date of releases March 15, 2022 All music by Philipp Dittmar & Philipp Hager. Recorded, edited and mixed by Philipp Dittmar & Philipp Hager in Nurernberg between spring 2019 and autumn 2020. Additional mixing by Alexander Günther. Mastered by Isabel Schroer at Olo Mastering, Berlin. Cover by Winkhorst, based on a collage by Cris Koch. Distributed by Buch- und Kunsthandlung Hübener, Bremerhaven.

ART SCHOOL | Q&A with RYAN BUBNIS 

We have been following the good vibes art of Portland based multidisciplinary artist Ryan Bubnis whose fun work focuses on the simplification of color, shape and form. We caught up with Ryan as he is preparing for his solo show, From The Ground Up, which opens at the Stephanie Chefas Projects on Friday, April 6th. Find out more about Ryan, his early artistic influences, and his Art School art tip below! 

Photographs courtesy of the artist. 

Introduce yourself? I’m Ryan Bubnis and I’m an artist, illustrator, and educator based in Portland, Oregon.

When did you first get into drawing?  Was it a hobby turned career or something you knew from the start? I always knew I wanted to make art from the very beginning. I’ve pretty much done whatever I could to make it a career. It was basically all or nothing. Still is.

Who were some of your early artistic influences? Cartoons, comics, kid’s books, and skateboarding were all major influences. Scooby-Doo, Cartoon Network, Garfield, The Simpsons, Richard Scarry, Golden Books and Jim Philipps. I think that’s why I split my practice between fine art and commercial illustration. I’ve always loved work that was accessible and imagery that made me want to make things myself.

What mediums do you love to work with? What are your essential art tools? Working with traditional mediums such as drawing and painting will always be my favorites. That being said, I definitely include my computers, scanner, and tablet as essential art tools. It’s a balanced mix of traditional and digital tools.

Do you keep a sketchbook or work your ideas as you go along?  What type of sketchbook do you keep – disorganized chaos or neat and clean? I keep a bunch of different sketchbooks for the home studio and bring along smaller versions when I travel. Some pages are cleaner finished drawings while other pages are filled with chicken scratch, notes, and project ideation. I recently got an IPad and have been drawing with Procreate as well. I try to draw and doodle every chance I get.

What was the first show you ever exhibited in? What was your last show? My first exhibition was a group show at Gallery Bink here in Portland way back in 2001. It was with Bwana Spoons, Ren Sakurai and a few other people. 

From The Ground Up is a solo show that is about to open at Stephanie Chefas Projects on Friday, April 6th. The title is from an ongoing zine I’ve made on and off since 2009. I’m really excited about all the work I made for it and can’t wait to share it. I’ll be releasing a new issue of the zine at the opening.

Where did you learn your knowledge of art or making art? It was a little bit of both. I still consider myself mostly self-taught even though I went through a BFA program for illustration. It’s weird but I feel like I’m learning so much more now that I’m a teacher than I ever did as a student.

Art School or Self taught. What’s something you can pass along art tip wise? Always allow more time than you think. Use matte medium to seal your masking edges and your shapes will come out crispy.

Describe your artistic process for us. The order sometimes varies but I start by reading, drawing, and doodling. Once I’ve done that I’ll start executing a painting or a piece. I always leave room for improvisation otherwise the work can feel too rigid. I like the unexpected possibilities of using traditional materials. You can’t always tell what paint is going to do until you actually try it. It’s a similar process for digital work but I can always Command Z if I screw something up or if I need to adjust a composition.

What makes you smile when viewing art? What is it you’re looking at – composition, color, line? Humor. David Shrigley’s work consistently makes me laugh. I’ll always smile when seeing a well-executed piece. Color, line, shape, and form. I love it all.

What’s a common misconception about artists? That art making is all fun and games and that artists should be thankful to work for free or for exposure. We have to value our work and fight for it.

How do you overcome drawer’s block? Either keep drawing or take a break. Go for a walk, run, skate and come back with a different perspective. Experimenting with different mediums or changing up the scale of my work has always been helpful.

What type of music do you listen to when creating? Do you find it helps motivate you or just allows for background noise? Music is usually always on no matter what I’m doing. It definitely motivates me. I like so many different artists it would be tough to list them all. Lately, I’ve been listening to Ray Barbee, Tommy Guerrero, Amenta Abiota, Earthgang, J.I.D, Chances With Wolves, Tiffany Gouche, Old Rolling Stones, Depeche Mode, and The Beatles.

What would be your ideal collaboration?  Doing something with Vans! 

Do you have a favorite artist(s) that does a completely different medium than yourself? My friend Meredith Dittmar creates these amazing, detailed sculptures and installations using paper and polymer clay. Her work is consistently progressing and it always blows my mind. http://neverborn.org

What do you think you’d be doing if you weren’t an artist? I would probably do something involving food. I do most of the cooking in the household and I’m always searching out new recipes to try out. I’ve always thought it would be fun to make some sort of illustrated cookbook. We’ll see.

What are your favorite Vans? My old stand by’s are the Authentics, Old Skools, and Half Cabs. Lately, I’ve been really digging the Kyle Walkers and I’ve got a few pairs of the MTE’s that have treated me really well during the cold winter months.

What advice would you give someone thinking about art as a career? Be patient. Cherish the small successes. Don’t consume yourself with get rich quick schemes or the allure of going viral. You always appreciate things more if you have to work for them.

What’s on the horizon for 2018?  Finish up work for the show with Stephanie Chefas Projects, work on some new client collaborations and hopefully do some more murals.

"Drift", the first single and title track off the debut album by Point No Point is here! Check out the video on Youtube. Pre-order the album on Vinyl. Listen on Spotify.

"Drift" is the first official solo album of multi-instrumentalist Jana Sotzko (Soft Grid, The Dropout Patrol). It marks in many ways a return to early home-recording experiments with Tascam 4-track recorders and without a precise idea of what it all should sound like in the end. The eponymous ‘drifting’ describes precisely this: undirected, at times lost, fugitive yet open to experimentation and new ideas. While Soft Grid work meticulously on details, the creation process of Point No Point was more spontaneous. "Drift" initially existed in demo form as a collection of complete songs, ideas and sketches, field recordings and exercises - often created on tour and on the road between jobs or concerts. To make a stringent album, Sotzko went to Priština in Kosovo for fourteen days, returning to the studio of producer Dritero Nikqi where the second Dropout Patrol album "Sunny Hill" had been recorded. Together with Nikqi, Sotzko sorted the sketches, re-recorded, rebuilt, added. In the end, six songs about islands, sea gods, farewells, and sedatives were created.

Album release date is November 22nd with a release show at Schokoladen Berlin, with support by White Hand Gibbon.

Written, sung and played by Jana Sotzko Recorded April 8-20, 2019 at Studio C in Priština, Kosovo Recorded and mixed by Dritero Nikqi Additional bass, drums and synths: Dritero Nikqi Mastered by Falk Andreas at Blank Room Audio in Berlin Artwork by Philipp Dittmar - www.nanuk.xyz .

Tape cassette version available from Katuktu Collective.
