Gregor Dys – riss
Releases on 14 August 2022


In his latest work, riss, Gregor Dys processes a near death experience and its aftermath.


A life threatening traffic accident dragged the Berlin musician, producer and sound artist from life.
In eleven atmospheric tracks, Gregor Dys reflects on this cleft, the long hospitalization, multiple surgeries, traumatising hallucinations but also a continuous healing process. Deeply breathing synthesizer pads, sizzling guitar lines and fragmented percussion set the mood for a 38 minute exploration of painful memories. After focussing on doom and gloom on the A side, the LPs second half sheds a light on cheerful memories and healing as well.


While he holds on to his main instruments, modular synthesizer and guitar, Gregor Dys also embraces original violin recordings and advanced sample mangling techniques.


Photography artist Dalia Mikonyté, a longtime collaborator who also reflects on physical and psychological trauma in her own work, mirrors this process in her stunning artwork for a beautiful, limited vinyl release.


riss will be available via Bandcamp on August 14 2022.
