Block 4

Due to the new regulations in EU concerning packaging recycling (which we welcome) and the need to register in any EU country we send to, for an annual fee to report packaging (impossible for us), the ever rising postage costs while lowering the quality of service and the random tariff of the day we decided to stop any shipping. Every sale was actually a loss already (we were never in for the money) but now it doesn't make any sense anymore. We concentrate our physical sales via distributors and shops and of course you can buy our records on our events and concerts. Digital downloads remain available through Bandcamp.

Tina Mariane Krogh Madsen and Malte Steiner are visiting Helsinki to create two dialogue events at Toinen Kerros, Äänen Lumo, connected to their label Block 4 and Madsen's platform performance protocols. On Friday 13th February at 18.30, will be a electro-acoustic concert evening where Madsen and Steiner will each perform solo sets, and have invited local composer Petri Kuljuntausta to also perform a solo set and a dialogue impro session with them. On Saturday 14th February from 12 noon, Madsen will facilitate a Deep Listening scores workshop and at 14.00 Steiner will conduct a workshop on data sonification with Jupyter Lab and Pure Data.
