27th Kontrapunkt Radio Show (Continuum #4) August 20, 2015 Announcement

Subtitle of my next radio show (Continuum) means that once again we will meet the artists and the bands who were featured on the previous programs or have been intended to be presented more often. However, new titles will also appear. This time you can expect a little bit more gothic and post punk guitar sounds, although the beginning will be electronic. Almost the entire program will be drawn with a rather gloomy colours.

In "Lost in Time" we will listen to the archive tape "Hot-Bip" published in 1983, which included compositions by Philippe Laurent, known to us from last week's presentation of this year's single "Mithra". 

I'll also have prepared for the air play a new single by a post punk legend which returns after 31 years of silence. For fans of Bauhaus a must! The single will be released in late September this year.

For the first time in the history of the show, in its giveaway section I will have for you not only a new physical release but also long BEFORE its official street date in September. In an era in which no one trusts one another being afraid of music leak to the internet it is a remarkable event, worthy of appreciation and special thanks, an expression of confidence in us meaning in the show and its listeners by the artists themselves. These will be the "Acedia" CD by Polish act Hidden By Ivy.

Stay tuned!

Inner Vision Laboratory is a project of Karol Skrzypiec (graduate of music schools and and of second degree in a piano class). The coming into existence of the plan is falling for March 2005. Stylistically it is the kind of dark industrial ambient, however in the discography to find it is also possible elements of the folk music, of classical music etc. His albums were released by Rage In Eden, Zoharum, No Angels Productions, Beast Of Prey. The project on next publications evolved from straight experiments to the widely comprehended illustrative music and conceptual. Works are arising based on sounds of synthesizers, grand piano, field recordings and samples.
