  • Antye Greie-Ripatti and Natalie Beridze, known respectively as AGF and TBA, will release an album on November 21st called I Am Life and produced under the name A-Symmetry. Both artists have long been active with their own multifaceted, experimentally inclined pursuits. Greie-Ripatti, German-born and now living in Finland, has been particularly prolific, with well over a dozen albums to her credit, including two LP collaborations with partner Vladislav Delay (and earlier this year she released an album produced with Tosca's Rupert Huber, Ausweg). Georgian producer Beridze was behind a run of albums for Thomas Brinkmann's Max Ernst imprint in the '00s, but has been mostly quiet on the new release front since her 2011 LP Forget'fulness on Monika Enterprise. The two have collaborated before, back in 2011, with readings on the AGF album Gedichterbe. For I Am Life, their first full-length effort, they adhered to two rules: only samples could be used, and no singing (though there are some fragments of vocal samples). The album will come on CD and in digital formats through Greie-Ripatti's label AGF Producktion. Ahead of its release, you can have a look at this Vimeo video for first track "Life 1," and learn more about the duo through this recent interview with Cyclic Defrost. Tracklist 01. Life 1 02.
