Album launch for Editions Mego boss Peter Rehberg – aka Pita – with support from founding member of Wire, Bruce Gilbert.
Get In extends the perennial Pita sound into a paradox of intimidation and beauty. 20150609 teases the juncture between the human and the tool, the improvised and composed and the analogue and digital. Aahn inhabits a field of electronic nebula, simultaneously inviting and alien. Line Angel could be a new form of minimalism for the post internet crowd. S200729 harks to an acid most splintered whilst Mfbk completes proceedings as an ambient drift underscored with classical overtones.
Peter Rehberg (a.k.a. Pita) (born 29 June 1968, London) is an author of electronic audio works and currently head of Editions Mego. In 1999 he received Prix Ars Electronica Distinction Award for Digital Musics, alongside Christian Fennesz. He also runs the Editions Mego label, formerly known as Mego.
“...stands as the first major musical laptop statement in the same way that Jimi Hendrix’s Are You Experienced album spoke for the most extended instrument-specific modes of the electric guitar three decades earlier.” – David Keenan on Pita's 'Get Out'.
Bruce Gilbert (b. 1946) is an English musician, and one of the founding members of Wire. Gilbert is responsible for countless groundbreaking projects such as Dome, AC Marias, Duet Emmo, alongside his solo works for the labels Mute, Touch, and Editions Mego.
A new LP is scheduled for release by The Hotel in November 2026.
