Adaptation Is Inevitable

TL PREMIERE : Hamatsuki - Adaptation Is Inevitable [Mind Controlled Rectifier]

Patrick Belaga - Blutt
Format: LP / DL
Cat.No. PAN 117
Release Date: 2 April 2021
Purchase: pan.lnk.to/Blutt

Conceived at the heel of Italy’s boot-shaped peninsula in Apulia, Patrick Belaga’s Blutt makes music for the unruly imagination. The title is an old German word for ‘naked’, ‘bare’, but it can also mean ‘blood’ when spelt blut. Take away another letter and it makes ‘butt’. None of these definitions and adaptations were what prompted the classically-trained composer and cellist to name his second album with a word simulating the sound of a punctured artery. That came later.

Blutt’s nine woozy compositions are inspired by a contemplative road trip with a friend, and the mysterious muffled music heard from an unidentified source. It was a combination of jazz and classical music that haunted Belaga’s wanderings through the Byzantine town Gallipoli, and soon infected his dreams of long-gone civilizations. This record is its outcome, where organic instrumentals and electronic production merge into a sound that’s both contemporary and ancient. Samples of mewing incantations and tape hiss sway atop the waltzing thud of piano chords on “Sigh”. Composite layers of Belaga’s cello play in downcast harmony on “Rust”. There’s a wistful sense for the romantic, in the eerie rhythm of a piece like “Momentum”. The quarter tones of an Eastern European and Middle Eastern folk scale probe a profound melancholy via Kai Knight’s violin. Its notes are haunted by a field recording of running water on “Unsoft”, echoes of panpipes and a Jew’s harp on opener “Lilt”.

As a consummate composer and performer known for his work with artists Wu Tsang, boychild, Josh Johnson and Asma Maroof, Belaga’s Blutt is itself marked by flawless collaborations. Vocalist and instrumentalist Jazmin Romero sings and composes the surreal melodies of “Grey Eye”. Multidisciplinary dance artist and producer Riley Watts contributes to the muted, motorik movement of “The Tunnel is a Tower”. Together, the record plays as a stunning soundtrack to the strangeness of sleeping, and the heartbreaking transience of time. Like an intense dream half-remembered, the emotions persist after waking but for the sharp machinations just outside of the mind’s reach.

What a year!

Just when it felt like there was already enough drama going on for a whole century in a tiny decade, things became worse and more confusing by the hour. A sadly too well known Russian dictator started invading Ukraine in early 2022 and as of the years end is not showing signs of retreat. 

The time to not be political has clearly come to an end and so we set out to empathize with our sisters and brothers that have lost their homes, ripped their lives apart and express our condolence to those that have lost their loved ones. There is very little in our power to help, but with this compilation we try to raise at least a little money to help those in need. 

Since we're a record label and not an NGO we decided to forward 100% of the profits to Blindspots e.V., an organisation dedicated to help distribute material donations and evacuate people from embattled cities. You can read more about their work here:

We're thankful to have so many talented artists who are willing to support this cause and hope you will enjoy this colourful spread of musical expression.

Humbly,

Drosssel

Glaswegian producer Emma ‘Solid’ Blake is a current staple of Copenhagen’s burgeoning electronic scene. Co-founder of the now-defunct Apeiron Crew (along with Mama Snake, Courtesy and Smokey), she’s been consistently churning out leftfield electronic gems and turning out full-throttle sets around the city. She’s just helmed this hefty rework of Tred’s ‘Disconnected’ forthcoming on E-Missions – which we’re premiering now below. The cut opens gently, with rippling synth waves, before throwing down some heavy, freeze-dried bass tabs. Tune in now.

Ladonna – Brain Fog

232164 AUF ERSTER EBENE

Im Zentrum der Aufführung steht ein Steinway-Flügel mit der Nummer 232164. Es wird darin das Verhältnis von Improvisation und Methode, von Freiheit und Beschränkung ausgelotet. Der Raum wird mit Hilfe von orangefarbig folierten Fenstern in eine monochrome Lichtstimmung versetzt. Diese umschließt mit einer ganz eigensinnigen Ruhe die musikalische Flut, die Performerin und ihr Instrument. Bewusste Bewegungen neben dem Flügel erwecken den Klangkörper zum Leben. Er wird geöffnet, geschlossen, atmet schließlich. Das Instrument ist allein aufgrund seiner Materialität klanglich vielfältig erlebbar. Erst dieser Klang macht den Raum existent und das Material verständlich. Mensch, Instrument und Umgebung kommen hier in ihrer nuancenreichen Subtilität zur Geltung.

232164 ON FIRST LEVEL

At the centre of the performance is a Steinway grand piano, number 232164, which explores the relationship between improvisation and method, between freedom and limitation. The room is transformed into a monochrome lighting mood with the help of orange-coloured foiled windows. With a very obstinate calmness, this ambience encloses the musical flood, the performer and her instrument. Intentional movements next to the grand piano bring the body of sound to life. It is opened, closed and finally breathes. The instrument can be experienced in a variety of ways simply because of its materiality. Only this sound makes the space existent and the material understandable. The human being, the instrument and its surroundings are shown to full advantage here in their subtlety rich in nuances.

Island of The Hungry Ghosts
A film by Gabrielle Brady
Original Motion Picture Soundtrack by Aaron Cupples, with field recordings by Leo Dolgan

Format: Deluxe Vinyl edition with booklet & full stream of the film + download / Digital
Cat.No. PAN 110
Release Date: 29 January 2021
Purchase: pan.lnk.to/iothg

Island of the Hungry Ghosts is a hybrid documentary that moves between the natural, human and spiritual worlds. Located off the coast of Indonesia, the Australian territory of Christmas Island is inhabited by migratory crabs travelling in their millions from the jungle towards the ocean, in a movement that has been provoked by the full moon for hundreds of thousands of years. Poh Lin Lee is a trauma therapist who lives with her family in this seemingly idyllic paradise. Every day, she talks with the asylum seekers held indefinitely in a high-security detention centre hidden in the island’s core, attempting to support them in a situation that is as unbearable as its outcome is uncertain. As Poh Lin and her family explore the island’s beautiful yet threatening landscape, the local islanders carry out their “hungry ghost” rituals for the spirits of those who died on the island without a burial. They make offerings to appease the lost souls who are said to be wandering the jungles at night looking for home.

This album presents the original score Aaron Cupples created for the film. Rich in texture and harmonics, the music is characterised by the bespoke instruments and recording techniques employed in its creation. The soundtrack also features sound recordist Leo Dolgan’s vivid field recordings. All captured on Christmas Island, the four pieces recall insect choruses, strange and ominous bird calls, erupting blowholes, fire, ocean, and Buddhist prayers for the dead.

“Drawing on discussions with director Gabrielle Brady, I began to perceive the island itself as the protagonist, with its own ancient rhythms and cycles set against the transitory human stories it endures. It was my intention to give voice to the island through the score. Imagining what this might sound like, emanating from deep within the landscape, I settled on a handmade long-string instrument. This single 13-foot long wire was tuned, bowed, and electromagnetically oscillated to create slowly evolving textures and deep layers of resonance.

From this foundation, the score introduces rhythm inspired by traditional Chinese festival drumming and chanting of Buddhist nuns recorded on Christmas Island by sound recordist Leo Dolgan. Working closely with him, the score is intentionally kept dark in timbre to allow a merging with the intricate nature recordings, which often play simultaneously with the score.

As the film’s narrative unfolds, harmonic movement and finally melody emerge, bringing a theme to the human stories. Their life rhythms and cycles interwoven with those of the island.” – Aaron Cupples

The album is mastered by Rashad Becker, featuring design by N MRE 08. Field recordings by Leo Dolgan.
