about

Born and raised in Vienna Manu Mayr is a musician, composer and producer every city would be proud to call their own. From the moment he was first to be heard – especially in the context of Jazzwerkstatt Wien – it was easy to predict he would turn into one of Austria’s most outstanding bass players. Thanks to his immaculate timing and great sound he is an important part of any rhythm section. Manu Mayr performs solo on double and electric bass and is member of bands like schtum, 5K HD, Gabbeh, Kompost 3, Synesthetic 4 and Studio Dan. In many of his bands he also plays an important role as composer, arranger and recording engineer. His eclectic sound and amazing live performances have brought him to renowned festivals all over the world.

… how & why:

Manu has been such an important part of the Viennese music scene for the last 10 years and has been and continues to be part of many great bands. Clemens Radauer personally is a huge fan of Kompost 3, Synesthetic 4 and 5K HD and trys not to miss any opportunity to hear any of them perform live. Every single time Clemens Radauer witnessed Manu on stage it was an intense and memorable experience. So he was very thrilled when Manu Mar agreed to record in May 2021 and he blessed us with 66 unique improvisations on 33 vinyls.

WIEN33 is an ongoing series of direct to vinyl recordings. Artists are invited to record 7 inch vinyls, 33 units and each one by one, making each vinyl one of a kind.

Host is VINYLOGRAPH, a space for live recording that uses a lathe cutting machine built by Natascha Muhić & Christoph Freidhöfer in 2014. They based their design on the technology of recording booths popular in the 1940ies, but improved specific aspects and made the machine fully automatic. Since building the vinylograph a diverse range of vinyls have been cut in the multi-purpose space in the center of the 5th Viennese district – most direct to vinyl and in very limited series. Aras Seyhan is the sound- & recording engineer who is responsible for transporting the sound from the instruments/artists through the vinylograph and onto vinyl. A task that can sometimes be a bit tricky since the machine is a prototype that unfortunately may run into some minor difficulties.

Cut with a lathe-cutter from the 1940ies, the vinyls are mono and have a distinct vintage sound.

The series WIEN33 is curated by Clemens Radauer, a cultural historian and music aficionado, who has been working in the music context for almost 25 years. He invites artist from different backgrounds – from literature, to experimental music to jazz – active in Vienna or close to the Viennese scene.

The artists have full freedom in deciding how and what they want to record… some choose to record one song 33 times and leave the flip-side blank whereas some choose to record 66 different tracks on both sides. Clemens also designs the covers for each recording and decorates them each by hand, making them one of the kind just like every vinyl.

Each recording session has been an amazing, intense and a once-in-a-lifetime experience both for the recording artist and the WIEN33 team. And we are looking forward to many more.
