Swim

Malka Spigel is a renowned artist and musician who made her mark in the music industry as a member of Minimal Compact, a pioneering band known for their minimal post-punk/punk-funk sound. Alongside her bandmates, Malka collaborated with esteemed artists such as Tuxedomoon's Peter Principle and Wire's Colin Newman. She also contributed to the soundtrack of Wim Wender's film Wings of Desire. In addition to her musical achievements, Malka ventured into visual art, specializing in video and photography. Her work has been showcased at prestigious venues like the Royal Festival Hall in London.

Throughout her career, Malka formed a strong partnership with Colin Newman, whom she married in 1986. Together, they established the Swim label to release their own projects and support other artists' work. Immersion, one of their notable collaborations, created an installation at IMMA Dublin in 1996 that sparked Malka's interest in visual art alongside her musical pursuits.

In pursuit of her passion for visual art, Malka obtained a fine arts degree from 2000 to 2002. She gained recognition within the lomo community for her extensive collection of photography work captured using a lomo LCA camera. Her artistic journey continues as she creates captivating video works with Immersion and produces video clips for various artists like Vapourspace and Minimal Compact.

New Wave / Post Punk

Gliding &amp; Hiding presents one of post-punk's maverick spirits at her finest: Malka Spigel sprang to prominence as bassist and vocalist with the legendary Minimal Compact. She's also an internationally acclaimed photographer and video artist. Alongside her partner and long term collaborator Colin Newman, she's also one half of the electro-kosmiche duo Immersion. Yet often, Spigel's most personal work is to be found on her solo albums.

Gliding &amp; Hiding gathers together Spigel's gorgeous 2014 Gliding EP, with reworked tracks from the 1994 mini-album Hide. The result is a collection that ranges from sunshine pop, to minimal breakbeat techno, all the way to blissed out rock. For the Gliding material, Spigel is joined by Newman, on guitar and keyboards, Ronald Lippok of Tarwater/To Rococo Rot on drums, and Gil Luz and Uri Frost of Mambas, on keyboards and guitar respectively, with additional guitars from Julie Campbell, and Matthew Simms of Wire. These songs retain the sound of a real band, bouncing off each other's considerable talents.
